Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

The burly man and the skinny man were only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. They had previously thought that the other party was just two children in the Acquired Realm. Even if the magic weapon in their hands was a bit strange, how powerful could it be?

However, when they faced the raging bullets and the ferocious spiritual energy bombardment, they realized that they had underestimated these two magical artifacts.

This also aroused their greed to the extreme.

If we could get our hands on such a magical artifact, it would definitely fetch a good price! Even if we didn't sell it, it would be much more efficient at killing demonic beasts in the future.

However, they were willing but unable to do so.

The churning in my stomach was almost extreme.

Beautiful chrysanthemums can bloom at any time.

They dared not use any strength, fearing that a mishap would cause a sudden geyser!

Left with no other option, the two took out talismans and began frantically throwing them at each other while hiding behind a tree to protect themselves.

To their despair, both of them carried defensive magical artifacts. The two jade pendants flashed with light at the same time, and the talismans that struck them did not cause the slightest ripple.

On the contrary, the magical power of the little girl's magic weapon would immediately consume a Golden Light Talisman when it hit her body, and she would be injured if she was not careful.

Shen Bai's magical weapon was even more troublesome, relentlessly pursuing the soul and taking lives, impossible to dodge. Moreover, every time it hit, a quarter of the Golden Light Talisman's spiritual power would be consumed immediately. If hit four times in a row, a Golden Light Talisman would be consumed. Furthermore, the opponent's two magical weapons were actually attacks with two different attributes.

Who has ever seen an attack that combines ice and fire?

Most importantly, the brother and sister worked together seamlessly. As soon as Shen Bai fired a shot, Shen Wenwen would follow up with her own. In just a few breaths, the two had already used up several Golden Light Talismans and were both seriously injured.

The woods where the two had been hiding were completely set ablaze, forcing them to run around in a frenzy.

"Damn it, these two kids must come from pretty good backgrounds. They've really messed up today!"

The skinny man cursed incessantly. He had thought they were just two children, but who would have thought they had magical artifacts protecting them? Even as monster hunters, they didn't have any magical artifacts protecting them.

"Hurry up and think of something, or we might be doomed here today."

The burly man was somewhat annoyed. He hadn't intended to snatch the two children; everyone knew that in the underworld, the elderly, children, and women were the most difficult to deal with.

These two children dare to cultivate magical artifacts in this sparsely populated place, so they must have plenty of confidence.

"On the contrary, it's because of the heat!"

The two cultivators suddenly saw that the little girl had two short sticks in her hands. The little girl mumbled something under her breath, paused for a few moments with the two short sticks, and then threw them forcefully in front of the two of them.

The two looked at the short stick lying on the ground, blinked, and wondered what had happened since there was no movement.

Ignoring everything else, the two cautiously tried to retreat, but a sudden rumble came from their stomachs, and even with their high cultivation levels, their expressions changed.

"On the contrary, it's because of the heat!"

The little girl produced two more short sticks and, seizing the initiative, threw them over again.

"Array formation? Magical artifact? What exactly are they?"

The two cultivators' expressions changed drastically. It was too late to dodge, and the two short sticks on the ground exploded with a bang.

"ah--"

The two screamed as the golden talismans on their bodies were torn apart as if they were made of paper. Shen Bai immediately switched from bullet mode to burst mode, and two spiritual energy strikes landed on the two of them again, instantly taking away half of their bodies.

"Boom boom—"

The two grenades that Shen Wenwen threw out at the same time exploded simultaneously, instantly turning the two cultivators into two piles of minced meat.

"call--"

Shen Wenwen let out a breath. Having experienced this life-or-death struggle again, she no longer felt the tension and fear of the first time. Instead, she grasped the rhythm of the battle very well.

Shen Bai used bullet mode to pressure her, so she used burst mode to finish him off. She also threw four grenades at just the right time. Her opponent had never seen such a magical weapon before, and the laxative had affected his speed, so he was tricked and killed in one fell swoop.

Shen Bai cautiously looked around, but there was no movement for a long time, only raging fire. He switched his magazine to frost bullets and began to put out the fires.

"Don't move around, and be aware of your surroundings."

Shen Wenwen understood; who knew if these two guys had any other accomplices?

Fortunately, not many trees were ignited, and Shen Bai brought the fire under control after emptying two magazines.

Walking up to the two corpses, Shen Bai picked up their storage rings. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he noticed that the burly man also had a token on his person.

Shen Bai cautiously picked up the token, and his expression changed. He saw that a white eagle was engraved on it.

"The White-Haired Gang!"

Shen Bai was surprised to learn that these two cultivators were from the infamous White Head Gang in the city. This White Head Gang was involved in everything from selling spirit beasts and smuggling people to raising cultivators; they were involved in all kinds of shady income.

"What should we do?"

Shen Wenwen also recognized the White Head Gang's token, which made her somewhat worried.

"It's alright. Their corpses will be eaten clean by the spirit beasts in one night at most. Don't worry about it."

Shen Bai didn't touch the token, but instead checked his bullets and spirit stones. After a morning of practice and the fierce battle just now, he only had two magazines left and not many spirit stones. He had to go home.

"Aww—"

Just as the two finished packing and were preparing to return, a howl suddenly rang out from the woods. Then, the entire Jade Screen Mountain seemed to tremble, and countless roars of beasts echoed across the sky.

Shen Bai's expression changed drastically: "Run! It's a monster! Get on the flying skateboard right now!"

Shen Wenwen deftly took the flying skateboard off her back, and the two started up almost simultaneously, flying wildly towards the foot of Yuping Mountain.

Along the way, the two saw many families who had come to enjoy the spring scenery flying awkwardly down the mountain, while some monster hunters stood on flying swords and shouted in the air.

"Run! It's a monster horde! Monsters have emerged from the Jade Screen Mountains!"

"A monster tide?"

Upon hearing those three words, everyone ran even faster.

Shen Bai and Shen Wenwen were also terrified. They knew that a monster tide might not happen even once every fifty years, so why were they so unlucky as to encounter it this time?

Moreover, aren't the monster hordes in Jiangbei City usually from the Bailong River?

Why did they come out of the Yuping Mountains this time?

There are generally no monsters around the outer area of ​​the Jade Screen Mountains!

As Shen Bai propelled himself forward on his flying skateboard, he looked back and saw a dark mass of demonic beasts rushing out from the depths of the Jade Screen Mountains.

Some people who were slower to descend the mountain were instantly torn to pieces by the monsters that were running ahead.

What was originally a peaceful weekend outing scene quickly turned into a living hell.

In the distant city of Jiangbei, the sound of bells rang out, deafening and urgent.

One by one, powerful cultivators took to the air on their swords and flew towards the Jade Screen Mountains.

War is imminent.
