There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 137 Sealing the Spirit

"Fuck!!!"

Looking at the giant claw above his head, Bi Fang couldn't help but swear.

Under the overwhelming pressure, Bi Fang naturally felt unprecedented pressure, but he certainly couldn't just sit and wait for his death.

Bifang flapped its wings, and the flames around its body burned even more fiercely, like a black sun, rushing towards Haochen's claws.

Upon seeing Bi Fang's actions, Hao Chen was equally unwilling to be outdone. His divine power surged and became boundless. The laws of his claws, which swirled with yin and yang, were powerful as he slapped Bi Fang, seemingly intending to kill him with a single blow.

After all, Hao Chen was already fuming with Hao Tian and had nowhere to vent his anger. By chasing Bi Fang and the others, he just happened to run into the line of fire.

So Hao Chen told Ji Wuyue and the others to bring Xiao Bai to catch up, while he went ahead to rescue Bi Xie and the others.

"Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, Bi Fang's claws collided with Hao Chen's, unleashing terrifying shockwaves that caused the void to tremble violently.

"What!?"

Bifang's figure, engulfed in jet-black flames, flew out horizontally and crashed into a hundred-meter-tall mountain.

Black blood splattered in the void, incredibly hot, accompanied by laws of fire and darkness, directly burning down large swathes of the sky.

Hao Chen was also badly hurt, flying backwards and crashing into the ground, creating a crater a hundred meters wide.

"Cough cough!"

Hao Chen, who had just climbed out of the deep pit, couldn't help but cough, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Hao Chen didn't care about the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. He stared solemnly at his right claw, which had been fighting with Bi Fang, and it was convulsing and trembling uncontrollably.

Moreover, the moment they touched, the black flames on Bifang's body coiled around Haochen's claws like venomous snakes.

Looking at the black flames on his claws, Hao Chen shuddered slightly as if he had been electrocuted, and the black flames instantly dissipated like thin ice meeting the warm sun.

However, the next moment, Hao Chen frowned, looking at his bald, burned paws, and muttered softly, "What a nuisance!"

It was because, in his perception, a wisp of black law, like a ghost, had quietly infiltrated his body at some unknown time, rampaging through it and even ignoring the divine power within Hao Chen's body, beginning to corrode Hao Chen's meridians and flesh like a greedy termite.

But just as the Black Law made a move, the World Tree within Hao Chen's body, like an enraged lion, suddenly trembled and swept a divine light towards the Black Law like a whirlwind, filled with yin and yang, and accompanied by myriad paths.

In an instant, the black law, like a frightened mouse encountering a fierce cat, instantly went out of control and obediently was drawn into the dantian where the World Tree was located by the divine light.

After the World Tree eagerly absorbed the black laws into its trunk, a black bud sprouted out like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and it also released a ball of refined primordial power, which flowed into Hao Chen's body like a gentle stream.

Before Hao Chen could fully appreciate the changes within himself, the Four-Faced Beast arrived at his side like a gust of wind, carrying Bi Xie and Tian Lu.

As soon as Bixie arrived beside Haochen, he saw Haochen's burned right paw and his heart clenched instantly. He asked with a worried expression, "Little Hao, you're injured. Does it hurt?"

Tianlu touched Haochen's injured paw with heartache, then said resentfully, "That wretched cripple bird, not only did it injure Bixie, but it also caused you, Haochen, to suffer, and it even tried to..."

"Tianlu, stop talking!" Bixie suddenly interrupted Tianlu and gestured for him to be quiet.

"What? Bixie is injured too? Where is he injured? How serious is it? Let me take a look!" Hao Chen was extremely anxious when he heard that Bixie was injured, and asked hurriedly.

Bixie didn't want Haochen to worry, so he glanced guiltily to the side and said, "It's nothing, just some superficial injuries. The Four-Unlikes has already healed them for me."

However, no sooner had Bixie finished speaking than Tianlu retorted impatiently, "How could nothing have happened? Bixie, you were on the verge of death back then!"

"Tianlu!" Bixie's voice suddenly rose, and he covered Tianlu's mouth like a gust of wind, whispering in his ear, "Tianlu, I'm really fine, don't make Xiaohao worry."

Seeing Tianlu nod, Bixie released its claws, then looked at Haochen, smiled, and even twirled lightly, as if to say: Look, I am really safe and sound!

Hao Chen's eyes were a little moist. How could he not know that Bi Xie did this because he didn't want him to worry? Moreover, the hair on Bi Xie's abdomen was obviously shorter than the surrounding hair, which was obviously newly grown.

Hao Chen moved to Bixie's side, stretched out his flesh-colored, hairless paw, and gently stroked the short hair that almost covered Bixie's entire abdomen, his eyes full of heartache.

Hao Chen seemed to be whispering to Bi Xie, or perhaps murmuring to himself: "Such a huge wound, you must have been in a lot of pain back then!"

At the same time, Hao Chen was thinking to himself, "Isn't Bi Xie a little too mature? He'd rather suffer himself than let us worry. It's so good to have a brother like that."

Bixie's body trembled as if electrocuted when Hao Chen's claws touched it, then it removed Hao Chen's claws from its body: "Alright, I'm fine now, and besides, how dare you scold me, Xiao Hao? Aren't you injured yourself too?"

As Bixie spoke, he turned to look at Sibuxiang and gave it a knowing look. Sibuxiang immediately understood and hurriedly came to Haochen: "Little Coal Ball, let me treat your wounds first."

Regardless of whether Hao Chen agreed or not, the Four-Unlikes grabbed Hao Chen's right paw and licked it, letting its saliva fall like sweet rain onto Hao Chen's wound.

Hao Chen felt a cool, refreshing sensation, along with a slight itch, as the Four-Unlikes' tongue lightly brushed against his exposed paws.

Thinking back to how he had racked his brains to get the Four-Faced Beast to lick him, and how he had ended up getting his wish in this way, Hao Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

After treating Hao Chen's wounds, Si Bu Xiang noticed Hao Chen smiling at him and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Could there be something on his face? Si Bu Xiang subconsciously touched his face.

Just then, Bi Fang's thunderous roar suddenly rang out, and then he shot out from the collapsed mountain like an arrow, soaring straight into the sky.

"Damn it, you bunch of ignorant fools, how dare you provoke me! Today I will tear you apart alive!"

Bi Fang was enveloped in black flames that exuded a destructive aura. The flames resembled a black dragon with bared fangs and claws, as if they were about to burn everything in the world.

His gaze was as cold as a frozen pool, mercilessly sweeping over Bixie, Tianlu, Sibuxiang, and Haochen.

However, when his gaze fell upon Hao Chen, his pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned deathly pale, and he cried out in alarm, "Your Excellency!!!"

Hao Chen did not notice Bi Fang's abnormality. When he saw that Bi Fang dared to show up again, his anger erupted like a volcano, and a towering phantom of the World Tree appeared behind him.

Hao Chen activated the World Tree phantom with all his might. The phantom trembled slightly and instantly evolved into a branch woven from the laws of Yin and Yang. With the force of a thunderbolt, it lashed fiercely at Bi Fang.

Due to a momentary lapse in concentration, Bifang was caught completely off guard and was struck on the wing by the World Tree's branches like an iron hammer.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, Bifang's wing, which had been struck, drooped limply like a bird with a broken wing.

"唳~"

Bifang also let out an extremely miserable cry due to the excruciating pain. The sound echoed between the clouds and was terrifying.

"Damn it." At this moment, Bi Fang no longer cared about why the Venerable One had attacked him; he wanted to survive.

Bifang opened his mouth and spat out a drop of ink-black essence blood. Then, he slammed his last remaining wing against the void.

The next moment, a rune woven from infinite rules emitted a dazzling light and suddenly appeared in front of Bi Fang, merging with his essence and blood.

In the next instant, the runes seemed to be soaked in blood, emitting a terrifying crimson light that made the world change color. A terrifying and unparalleled demonic power, like a surging wave, began to emanate continuously from the runes.

At this moment, Bifang was weak and listless, like a candle flickering in the wind, and his primordial spirit was dim and lifeless, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

But he looked at Hao Chen with the disdain and contempt of a victorious king: "So what if you are the Venerable One? Today, you will die by the very move you bestowed upon me, Spirit Sealing!"

As Bi Fang activated the power within the runes, Hao Chen's brows furrowed tightly. His movements were severely restricted, as if he had been frozen in place, and it was as if time and space had been sealed off.

However, this was not the most terrifying thing. What truly terrified Hao Chen was that he suddenly felt the divine power within his body surge uncontrollably towards the runes in front of Bi Fang, like a flood bursting its banks.

"What's going on? My divine power is rapidly draining away!"

"I feel so awful!"

"Little Plum Blossom, I can't move at all!"

Hearing the painful cries behind him, Hao Chen hurriedly turned around and saw Tian Lu, Bi Xie, and Si Bu Xiang lying on the ground in pain, as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer. Their divine power was also rushing towards Bi Fang like wild horses.

"This is bad! If this continues, we definitely won't be able to hold out for long. We must find a way to break his supernatural powers!" Hao Chen felt extremely anxious, as if his heart was being scratched by a cat's claws.

However, what Hao Chen didn't know was that at this moment, not only were they on pins and needles, but Bi Fang was also suffering terribly.

The power of sealing spirits was not Bi Fang's own creation, but was bestowed upon him by Chen Ying.

Therefore, Bi Fang was unaware that the spirit-sealing supernatural power would not only devour the enemy's divine power and essence like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Even the divine power and essence of the caster will be mercilessly devoured by Fengling, eventually becoming nourishment for Chenying. That is why Chenying passed on this supernatural power to his subordinates.

Bi Fang, his face ashen, stared in anguish at the runes before him that were greedily absorbing his divine power. His expression was filled with bewilderment: "Your Majesty, why did you save me, only to send me to my death? What is the reason for this?!"

Because Bifang was so close to the spirit-sealing rune, the devouring force it endured was like Mount Tai crushing an egg, even more so than that of Haochen and Tianlu Bixie.

In addition, Bi Fang was already seriously injured, so before the sealing talisman could completely devour Hao Chen and the others, Bi Fang himself could no longer hold on.

All of Bifang's essence was completely devoured, as if his soul had been ripped out, and he was completely transformed into a dried-up corpse, falling heavily to the ground.

The spirit-sealing runes, now free from Bi Fang's control, ceased their devouring, like a kite with a broken string. They then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the sky like a shooting star.

Hao Chen was as weak as a candle flame in the wind. He struggled to help Tian Lu and the four evil spirits to their feet: "Are you alright?"

Bixie and the others shook their heads slightly, indicating that they were fine, but their divine power was somewhat depleted and they needed to rest for a while.

Hearing that Bixie and the others were safe and sound, Haochen breathed a sigh of relief.

Hao Chen hadn't expected that he had been too careless. He never imagined that Bi Fang would possess such a self-destructive power. Fortunately, the opponent couldn't hold on any longer, otherwise they would probably have been doomed this time.

Just then, Ji Wuyue and the others finally arrived with Xiaobai.
