"If you don't agree, then you won't get the Sand Vein Heart back."
With that, Su Luo flicked her hand, and a sparkling object appeared. She then tossed it forcefully towards the Dark Kun ahead. A tentacle shot out like lightning, coiled around the Sand Vein Heart, and disappeared.
Fan Tian's pupils contracted violently: "The Sand Vein Heart! Damn it, Su Luo, how dare you..."
"Want the Sand Vein Heart? Then go snatch it! Otherwise, if it's devoured by the Dark Kun, you'll be a cripple your entire life," Su Luo said with a mocking curl of her lips as she looked at his utterly displeased expression.
Fan Tian wished he could kill Su Luo: "You..."
Listening to the Dark Kun's rampant roars, its tentacles extending across the sky and thrashing wildly in the thunder, like streaks of ink shadows, he was furious to the point of his eyes almost bursting, yet he had no choice but to charge forward.
If he didn't get it back immediately, everything would be over!
When Fan Tian reached about ten feet from the Dark Kun, he was almost crushed by the rolling pressure.
So painful!
Each tentacle was as thick as a pillar, its surface covered in foul-smelling, slippery mucus. Upon closer inspection, it was covered with suckers of varying sizes, from which the mucus was oozing.
Fan Tian had barely paused for a moment before the Dark Kun noticed him.
A tentacle lashed out like lightning, coiling around him and slamming him violently to the ground. His bones shattered one by one, blood spurted from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and he cried out in agony.
Sand Transformation!
In a flash, Fan Tian used his Sand Transformation ability, escaping from the tentacle.
A clump of fine sand landed on the ground, reforming into human shape. Fan Tian almost cursed Su Luo to the ends of the earth.
But before Fan Tian could recover, two more tentacles attacked. Just as he was about to transform and dodge, there was a thunderous roar, and several lightning bolts struck, paralyzing the tentacles in mid-air. Su Luo's voice came from not far away.
"Fan Tian, what are you waiting for? Go kill the Dark Kun and destroy the bone crystal core in its brain, or you'll never find your Sand Vein Heart!"
As soon as the words fell, a green light flew out. The Dark Kun let out a violent explosion, its flesh and blood flying everywhere, splattering all over Fan Tian's head and face, making him feel nauseated.
"Bastard, damn it!" Fan Tian was almost suffocated.
But he had no time to curse Su Luo and Li Tianjue. He quickly seized the moment of the Dark Kun's momentary pause to search for his Sand Vein Heart.
"Where is it... where is it?!"
Fan Tian was burning with anxiety, releasing his divine sense to search within the Dark Kun. He discovered it was completely useless.
His divine sense couldn't penetrate the Dark Kun's body, as if encountering an invisible barrier. Fan Tian had no clue where the Sand Vein Heart was, and his anxiety was driving him to the brink of wanting to kill.
He couldn't afford to waste any more time. The Dark Kun moved again, a tentacle stabbing towards his head like an arrow.
Sand Transformation!
Fan Tian transformed into a pile of fine sand again, landing on the ground as the tentacle missed its target.
Not far away, Su Luo had been watching Fan Tian.
"Not bad, the Dark Kun really can't do anything to Fan Tian. As long as he finds the bone crystal core and destroys it, it will be much easier for us to kill this Dark Kun," Su Luo said to Li Tianjue while controlling the Verdant Jade Sword to attack the Dark Kun.
At this moment, Li Tianjue had to marvel at Su Luo's idea.
Using Fan Tian's Sand Vein body to deal with the Dark Kun was indeed the most appropriate.
In a certain aspect, Fan Tian's true form was practically invisible and invincible. Besides high-intensity flames, he had almost no opponents. However, the Dark Kun did not possess fire abilities. Its poisonous smoke and illusions were almost ineffective against Fan Tian. This was a case of one thing conquering another.
"Judging by Fan Tian's demeanor, he seems unwilling to kill the Dark Kun, but..."
Li Tianjue waved his hand, unleashing two lightning bolts that struck the Dark Kun's massive body, saying, "To find the Sand Vein Heart, he must kill the Dark Kun. Who knows if the Dark Kun can absorb the energy of the Sand Vein Heart? He dares not take that risk."
Su Luo smiled: "Exactly, he can't afford to gamble!"
Despite what they said, the two of them did not stand idly by.
The Dark Kun was truly terrifying, larger than the Dragon Hound. Aside from its ugliness, it possessed incredible regenerative and recovery powers. If it were just Fan Tian alone, he wouldn't even be able to get close before being flung away.
"Big Black, you stay put and rest. Don't move anymore. Otherwise, if the Dark Kun grabs you, we'll have to save you again, which is too dangerous," Su Luo carefully instructed the Dragon Hound, adding the latter part to prevent it from acting out.
This was because she noticed the Dragon Hound staring intently at the battle ahead, its eyes burning with fighting spirit, as if it wanted to pounce again.
The Dragon Hound glanced at Su Luo and finally gave up the thought.
It was just unwilling and wanted to find an opportunity for revenge. But Su Luo was right, it was no match for that ugly monster. It was better to recuperate on the sidelines and not be a burden to them.
Suddenly, a voice echoed from above the cave: "Young Master!"
As the Blazing Demon Venerable rushed over anxiously, he saw Fan Tian standing in front of the Dark Kun, with four or five tentacles about to stab him. He was so shocked that his soul almost flew out of his body.
The Demon Lord had instructed him to bring the Young Master back. If the Young Master met with any mishap, he wouldn't survive either!
For the first time, the Blazing Demon Venerable regretted that he had miscalculated the Young Master's moves.
Without a second thought, he leaped down.
However, before he could land, a bone-chilling killing intent struck him. The Blazing Demon Venerable's heart trembled violently. He tried his best to dodge, but it was a step too late.
His arm throbbed with pain, as if it had been pierced by something. Blood splattered everywhere, and he let out a muffled groan.
The Blazing Demon Venerable instinctively reached out, only to find a large chunk of flesh missing.
If he hadn't dodged so quickly, this blow would have pierced his heart!
"What a pity, you're lucky to have escaped this one," a clear and pleasant voice rang out. The young girl looked at him with cold eyes, seemingly regretting not killing him.
Su Luo, that wretched girl!
Before the Blazing Demon Venerable could speak, a dark shadow flashed towards him like lightning.
His pupils contracted. He quickly activated his protective spiritual energy, while simultaneously striking the shadow with a powerful palm. Just as the shadow was about to collide, it effortlessly turned and leaped aside the moment it touched the spiritual energy shield, landing gracefully before launching a fierce claw attack at his calf.
Caught off guard, the Blazing Demon Venerable's calf was bleeding profusely, a large piece of flesh torn off, revealing bone.
The Dragon Hound had been prepared and had already set up a contingency.
"Hehehehe, if I can't deal with that ugly monster, can't I at least hurt you?"
The Dragon Hound opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and looked at the Blazing Demon Venerable with a sinister aura: "No matter what you intend to do, you'll have to get past this divine beast first. Don't even think about disturbing Su Ya's sister and the others as they deal with the Dark Kun."
As soon as its words fell, it lunged forward again.
The Blazing Demon Venerable was so angry he wanted to curse.
He had no time to deal with Su Luo and Li Tianjue now. He just wanted to rescue the Young Master quickly, but this damned dog had entangled him!
Raising his hand, a fire dragon shot out. The Blazing Demon Venerable was not to be trifled with and immediately intended to kill the Dragon Hound.
But the Dragon Hound was incredibly fast, darting around the cave. It would unexpectedly rush forward and bite him again. No matter how the Blazing Demon Venerable attacked, he was always just a little too slow.
In just a moment, he felt his head swimming, and terrifying illusions appeared before his eyes.
