He began his journey to becoming a true immortal by causing others to fail their tribulations.

Faced with Huang Tao's peacock-like display of power, Mu Qingrou was somewhat speechless, but she didn't want to embarrass Huang Tao too much.

But what she cared about most was that Xun Yan wouldn't misunderstand.

So even though Huang Tao had already perfected the design, Mu Qingrou could only keep smiling and didn't say a word.

But Huang Tao was secretly excited upon seeing this:

"Junior Sister Mu smiled. It seems she has noticed my strength and charm, but she's just a bit shy, so she's too embarrassed to say anything."

Since that's the case, I need to take the initiative so that Junior Sister Mu can feel my thoughtfulness.

Thinking of this, Huang Tao was about to walk towards Mu Qingrou.

But at that moment, he felt a slight tremor in the ground.

Remembering that the werewolves had emerged from the ground before, he quickly turned around to look in the direction from which the tremor was coming.

Huang Tao couldn't help but frown at just one glance.

Because near the horizon, a "black tide" is surging toward this side.

If you look closely, you'll find that the black tide is actually a large number of ferocious spider beasts.

Although they are the size of calves, their cultivation levels are basically all at the first level.

However, such a large number of spider-like ferocious beasts still put a lot of pressure on Huang Tao, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But then Huang Tao thought to himself, if he could get rid of so many spider beasts, wouldn't that be a better way to demonstrate his strength?

In this way, he would definitely be able to attract Mu Qingrou more effectively.

Thinking of this, Huang Tao shouted loudly, drew his long sword, and was the first to rush forward.

"Come back! Don't rush too far forward!" someone shouted before charging forward as well.

Xun Yan also raised his hand, summoning more than a dozen low-grade magic weapon swords, which headed straight for the spider beast.

Although Huang Tao's peacock display made him a little nervous, Huang Tao might also see him as a rival in love.

But with so many people watching, he couldn't just ignore it.

After the two sides met face to face, Huang Tao cut through the spider swarm as easily as chopping vegetables, killing one spider after another.

It even carved out a "vacuum zone" around him.

Seeing that his performance was even better than expected, Huang Tao couldn't help but show a confident smile.

Almost the instant he relaxed his guard, a dark shadow pounced out from the swarm of spiders, heading straight for Huang Tao's face.

Upon seeing the sudden attack, Huang Tao's expression changed drastically. He raised his sword to defend himself while simultaneously casting a spell.

A pale white halo quickly enveloped his entire body, clearly indicating the activation of some kind of defensive mechanism.

Whether due to hasty activation or some other reason, the white light was easily torn apart like paper when it touched the black shadow.

Just as Huang Tao could only take the shadowy figure head-on, a metallic clanging sound rang out, and the shadowy figure was sent flying by a flying sword.

The one controlling the flying sword was none other than Xun Yan.

"Retreat, there's a second-tier ferocious beast hiding inside." Xun Yan said no more, focusing all his energy on dealing with the spider beast.

Although he hadn't actually lost his life, he had indeed been saved by Xun Yan, and Huang Tao's expression immediately became somewhat complicated.

However, he did not continue to show off, but seized the opportunity to retreat quickly and join the others, no longer fighting alone.

boom--

The scorching flames transformed into a fire dragon, devouring the spiders along the way and even forcing out those hidden second-tier spiders.

Before they could even adjust their posture, a phoenix, its entire body formed from cyan flames, swooped down on them with a loud cry.

While they managed to dodge using their speed, the other first-tier spiders didn't have the same ability or luck.

If you are hit by the Azure Phoenix, you will be burned to ashes in no time.

On the battlefield, two flames, one red and one green, spread like wildfire, rapidly incinerating the spider-like beasts.

Every now and then you can see flying swords that transform into streaks of light, precisely catching any fish that slip through the net, or forcing back second-tier spiders.

This forced them to confront the fire dragon and the blue phoenix head-on.

With this tacit cooperation, the black tide formed by the spider beasts was quickly wiped out.

Even the second-tier spider beasts hiding inside were not spared; they were all burned to ashes.

After confirming that there was no remaining danger, Xiao Meng came to Xun Yan's side and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xun, you have become more proficient in controlling your flying sword, and its power is even greater."

"Senior sister, your strength has also improved," Xun Yan said with a smile.

"That's right, I have to speed things up, otherwise if you overtake me, wouldn't I have to call you senior brother?"

After saying this, Xiao Meng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "But calling you senior brother doesn't seem that hard to say."

Before Xun Yan could speak, Mu Qingrou approached him and asked, "Senior Brother Xun Yan, what did you think of my performance earlier?"

Xun Yan gave a thumbs up and said, "Very impressive. That Azure Phoenix must be your innate divine ability awakened by your special physique, right?"

Upon receiving Xun Yan's praise, Mu Qingrou first smiled before speaking:

"Yes, Senior Brother Xun Yan, that's called Azure Phoenix Spirit Fire, and it's much more powerful than ordinary flames."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qingrou glanced at Xiao Meng.

Noticing Mu Qingrou's gaze, Xiao Meng chuckled and said, "I'm using the Flame Phoenix Fire, which is just as powerful as your Azure Phoenix Spirit Fire."

"Then why does it look like a fire dragon instead of a phoenix?" Mu Qingrou asked.

"That way, people will mistakenly think I'm using ordinary flames, and that'll catch the enemy completely off guard!"

Xiao Meng then added, "Junior Sister Mu, you haven't had enough experience. When you fight with others in the future, remember to hide your trump cards."

"But, Senior Sister Xiao, if you are strong enough, you can win even without expending so much effort, right?" Mu Qingrou said.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off and somewhat awkward, Xun Yan quickly spoke up:

"Alright, let's clean up the battlefield first and see if we can find any clues?"

"Okay," Xiao Meng and Mu Qingrou said almost in unison.

Huang Tao was fully aware of what was happening here.

Someone couldn't help but say, "I thought that Junior Brother Xun was just lucky with women, but now it seems that his strength should not be underestimated."

"Yes! His skill in controlling flying swords can be described as masterful."

"If you fight him and can't handle his flying sword technique, you'll be completely suppressed."

"But to be fair, Junior Brother Xun is indeed very lucky with women."

Another person whispered:

"Yes! Wasn't that main peak disciple's peacock-like display just to attract Junior Sister Mu's attention?"

But now, not only Junior Sister Mu, but even Senior Sister Xiao seems to be showing off her strength, all in an effort to gain Junior Brother Xun's approval.

It's obvious which is more attractive!
