Boom! Boom!
The ground shook, as if the crust was about to be split open.
Alex and the others left the Rowan family compound and moved dashed through the Ancient Path into the night. Just as they were about to find a resting place, the sky trembled and the ground shook until they could not stand steadily.
“Vast numbers of of creatures are moving ahead!” the Titan Princess exclaimed upon laying on the ground and listening to the sounds.
Alex immediately looked around for a place they could hide themselves.
“Over there! Over there!”
A stone forest with clusters of strange rocks and overgrown weeds was on Alex’s left, so he chose that place. He rushed over and set up a spell formation at once. Once the crowd arrived, he activated the spell formation and concealed that area.
Shortly afterward, the rumbling approached them. There were infinite Witch Beasts, but there were human-like species were also among them.
“Huh? Why are there humans?”
“They are beastmen, aren’t they?”
“The Witch Beasts look very weird. Why do they all have horns like taurens?”
However, everyone was here for the first time. Even Shelly was in the dark, having completely no idea what these species were. Having heard Grand Emperor Rowan and the others talking about the existence of Witch Beasts, she assumed they all were Witch Beasts. Just then, two phoenixes in the sky flew over.
They were Phoenix and her mother who came over searching for Alex.
“Moo..!” The bull-headed Witch Beasts screamed upon noticing the two people in the sky.
A humanoid creature among them even opened its mouth. “Someone from the Phoenix Tribe actually exists on the Ancient Path. They can’t be the members of the Immortal Phoenix Tribe, right?”
“Boss, what should we do?”
“The second elder of the Immortal Phoenix Tribe is ruthless…”
“Half-stepped Dominant Realm! Unfortunately, you aren’t even close!”
The man named Kocis sneered. In the face of the endless flame, he did not dodge and continue slashing. The flame passed through his body, but surprisingly, it only paused his body for a moment. Despite the inferno, he was still striking at a breakneck speed.
‘This is bad!’ The Phoenix Empress was shocked.
It was that first time in her life encountering such an expert. She immediately manifested her human body and slashed down violently with a half-longsword that she grabbed at some point.
Clank!
A massive tremor shook everyone with a Chi explosion. If it was in the three thousand worlds, the battle between powerhouses of such a level would have shaken the entire planet. However, it did little to rock the Ancient Path.
The Phoenix Empress’s body flew backward, spitting a spray of blood mid-air.
“Phoenix, run quickly!”
