Du Yu didn't care about those things; there were still pursuers behind him, with the faint sound of arrows whizzing by.

He scooped up Li Mengnan and hurried forward, holding the Silver Bow to his left: "Blow!"

Little You Ying had one advantage, it could be held in hand or fly on its own!

Before reaching the intersection, Little You Ying had already spat out a Wind-Fire Pillar, accompanying its master and escorting Du Yu through the crossroad.

"Blow backward, Ghost Firefly!"

"Du, Du Yu..." Ahead, Li Mengnan's dazed voice came through.

"Can you run?" Du Yu quickly asked.

"I can...Ah!" Li Mengnan cried out in pain, just as she condensed her Demon Breath Battle Robe, an arrow from behind struck her solidly on the left buttock.

"Little Wind Blow! Tornado! Block them! Kill, kill, kill!" Li Mengnan, now fully awake and embarrassed with rage, clutched her backside, struggling to free herself from Du Yu's hold.

Now at a critical moment, nearing the end, Demon Breath should be used where it counts!

The Wind Witch finally received her master's order and swiftly floated up, blowing a gust of wind behind her.

After a strong gust, small Tornadoes suddenly rose!

Using Demon Breath like this meant the days ahead might not be easy, but... it didn't matter since the master said "kill, kill, kill."

In fact, the Wind Witch felt quite guilty and remorseful.

It had close-combat Demon Skills; after advancing to Earth-level Demon Pets, its first Demon Skill learned was Tornado, and the second was Tornado Blade.

The Wind Witch could spin in place, using the tail end of its cloak to create an arc like a blade, dealing close-range damage to opponents.

But just now, it hid inside the master's hood, watching helplessly as the enemy knocked the master out cold in three punches...

"Bring back Wind Witch, we're turning!" Du Yu shouted, while the Fox Xiao Yan on his shoulder turned back and shot a sizable Fireball.

Escaping all this way, if not for Xiao Yan, Du Yu and Li Mengnan would have long been overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Turn right, hurry to open the door, I'll cover!" Du Yu stopped his pace, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, shooting a Fire Arrow right into the Fireball!

"Boom!"

The narrow corridor was once again engulfed in flames, forcing the pursuers to retreat repeatedly.

Seeing the dire situation, Du Yu quickly turned the corner, backing against the wall.

Though the pursuers couldn't get through, a few Demon Skills from the Demon Pets were still able to penetrate the layers of fiery sea.

A tiny stream of water sprayed steam, with threads of electric glow, slicing past Du Yu's side.

Li Mengnan stumbled forward: "Wind Witch, quickly come back, come..."

Suddenly, Li Mengnan halted because 20 meters in front of her stood a tall figure.

The young man leaned on a Wide-Blade Saber, standing alone in front of the staircase.

It seemed Lin Shiwei wasn't the only one with the same idea!

And this young man... Li Mengnan found him somewhat familiar...

At the beginning of the competition, when the Bottomless Gate slowly opened, all contestants were repelled by the cold Qi, hesitating and not daring to advance.

This very youth had pushed past the others, shouting "Don't block the way", and charged into the Bottomless first.

"I've finally waited for you."

The youth gazed at Li Mengnan, particularly at the black cloak on her body; his eyes brightened slightly as he lifted the Wide-Blade Saber with one hand.

Though he had no Demon Pet around, fire mist wafted from him in rings!

That fire mist would occasionally gather and then disperse, occasionally outlining a humanoid figure, howling madly, trying to break free from his body, yet unable to, ultimately slowly merging into his body.

Such a scene, repeating endlessly, was indeed terrifying.

Celestial Treasure Race - Fire Element Demon Beast - Flame Soul Imprisonment!

Li Mengnan knew she was truly in trouble this time!

The youth, with Wide-Blade Saber in hand, pointed remotely at Li Mengnan: "Ancient Pine Tower, Hu Haobin."

He wasn't interested in introducing himself to Li Mengnan but made sure everyone watching the surveillance knew.

"Wind Witch, Little Wind Blow!" Li Mengnan swallowed a bit of blood, pointing her longsword forward.

The Wind Witch, with demon breath exhausted, anxiously sent a message, while Li Mengnan charged forward: "It's okay, just do your best!"

The Wind Witch didn't care about much else, and followed her master forward, urging the last of her demon breath within, blowing a fierce wind towards the young man.

"Good!" Li Mengnan's gaze was resolute. She suddenly stepped forward, leaping into the air, using the force of the blowing wind, disregarding the trembling of her Demon Breath Battle Robe, and slashed at the young man with her sword.

Hu Haobin relied on his great strength, not afraid at all! Although he retreated under the blowing wind, he had no intention to dodge, and slashed heavily at the sword blade.

Was he not aiming to cut anyone, but rather to test strength?

"Ding!" The knife and sword entwined, producing a crisp sound, with faint ripples of demon breath spreading.

"Roar!!!" The next moment, a flaming head suddenly sprung from Hu Haobin's chest, roaring loudly, claws brandishing wildly!

The Flame Soul Imprisonment fiercely tore, shredding Li Mengnan's Demon Breath Battle Robe, and even ripping several strips of black cloth from her cloak.

The Flame Soul Imprisonment, half of its body had rushed out of Hu Haobin's chest, roaring wildly, then instantly retracted.

"Heh." Hu Haobin gave a cold laugh, having clearly anticipated all this. After allowing the demon pet's time to attack, he immediately picked up his Wide-Blade Saber and viciously hacked at Li Mengnan!

Falling heavily to the ground, Li Mengnan, still buoyed by the blowing wind, crawled and rolled forward, not even having time to get up, then jumped with her feet, rebounding and collided with one side of the stone gate.

There, there was a button!

Hu Haobin's eyes widened, realizing at the moment his saber struck the ground what Li Mengnan intended.

This girl never intended to fight head-on; she only thought about the button, only about opening the door!

Li Mengnan, enduring her tingling arm, stretched forward with all her might, her sword tip touching the button, and the small square slightly embedded into the wall.

"Click!"

The stone gate opened a crack, and instantly, a beam of light shone through the door's gap into the dim and cold corridor.

"Trying to leave?" Hu Haobin charged forward, a saber slashing toward Li Mengnan's head, "Dream on!"

Flipping over, Li Mengnan's expression changed with surprise.

Knowing she couldn't contend against her opponent in this state, in desperation, Li Mengnan kicked against the stone wall, sliding her body from the left side of the stone gate straight to its right side.

Hu Haobin spun around abruptly, only to pause for 1 second, when from his side came bursting a flaming figure. Pointing long pointed fingers, it pressed the button.

"Click!"

The slowly opening stone gate halted, then slowly closed, the only gleam of light quietly disappearing.

"Click!"

The next second, the small square button was once again pressed down!

A silver Fire Arrow burning fiercely, precisely struck the small square!

Moreover, the silver arrow pierced through the flaming figure's finger!

"Hiss!" The Flame Soul Imprisonment let out a hiss, its half-formed flaming silhouette rapidly retreating back into Hu Haobin's body. And at this moment, a trace of silver flame ignited on Hu Haobin's body...

"Damn!" Hu Haobin's face changed, frantically patting the silver flames on his body, while sharply turning his head to look.

It was then that he saw a dark cloak figure burst out amidst a backdrop of flaming explosions!

The stone gate reopened, a sliver of light showing through the gap.

"Shoo~" A soft Flower Vine extended endlessly, skimming past Du Yu's side, striking straight at Hu Haobin! Hu Haobin frowned, hastily dodging sideways, slapping hard at the silver flames on his body.

The quickly probing Flame Flower Vine, its end forming a spike, jabbed at the small square button.

"Click!"

The stone gate paused, then slowly closed, the sliver of light just now disappearing again as the stone gate tightly shut.

"Du Yu!" The girl's voice was low, filled with anger, "You're really tough, huh?"

She too, emerging from the flames, her shoulder's Rose Double Spirit Flower Vine sweeping aside, directly lashing at Du Yu.

Du Yu quickly ducked, allowing the Flame Flower Vine to brush over his head, then continued moving forward, turning, bow drawn and arrow notched!

"Both are the same!"
