Chapter 329: Clash of the Flame Beasts!
Chapter 329: Clash of the Flame Beasts!
“Could it be that these two have reached the legendary Dou Venerate realm?”
Feeling the aftermath of the battle up close, Queen Medusa's face turned pale. As she marveled at their strength, she felt a surge of gratitude towards the scholarly middle-aged man. Had he not pushed her away in time, she would have been severely injured or worse from the shockwaves.
Under Queen Medusa's watchful gaze, the two men, after their initial probing attacks, now looked at each other with newfound seriousness.
“It seems I’ll need to get serious to take you down!” the white-robed man snorted coldly, a brilliant purple flame rising from his palm.
As the purple flame appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air skyrocketed, filling the area with a scorching energy.
“Heavenly flame!”
Seeing the purple flame in the white-robed man's hand, Queen Medusa exclaimed, worried about the scholarly man facing him.
“This heavenly flame seems much stronger than the Green Lotus Core Flame. Can he withstand it?”
While Queen Medusa fretted, Xiao Jin and Liu Ling, rapidly approaching, also felt the searing heat.
“It’s Master! Master’s heavenly flame!”
Recognizing the fiery aura, Xiao Jin's face lit up with excitement, and he quickened his pace with Liu Ling in tow.
At the same time, another figure swiftly approached from the opposite direction, drawing their attention.
The Serpent Tribe's Great Elder also noticed Xiao Jin and Liu Ling.
“Dou Ancestor!”
Seeing Xiao Jin walking in the air, the Great Elder felt a tinge of suspicion.
Exchanging glances, both sides slowed their pace. Suddenly, the heat in the air intensified once more, this time with a different scorching energy.
As this heat emerged, Liu Ling, Xiao Jin, and the Great Elder felt a burning sensation.
Liu Ling, having the lowest cultivation, showed signs of pain from the sudden heart fire flare-up.
Fortunately, they were still some distance from the source of the heart fire, and it wasn’t a targeted attack. Xiao Jin quickly extinguished the heart fire within himself and used his golden energy to help Liu Ling neutralize the flames.
Even after Xiao Jin had extinguished the flames, Liu Ling looked visibly shaken.
With the two distinct fiery auras appearing, Xiao Jin and the Great Elder increased their speed once more.
…
“That flame, capable of igniting a fire in one’s heart, must be the Fallen Heart Flame!”
High in the sky, Queen Medusa watched in awe as the invisible flames rose from the scholarly man, sighing in relief. “With the Fallen Heart Flame, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage.”
Queen Medusa didn't know what heavenly flame the white-robed man wielded, but her intuition told her it was far more powerful than the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame.
“Tsk tsk!”
In the battlefield, the white-robed man’s gaze fixated on the flames surrounding the scholarly man. “Fallen Heart Flame, you continue to surprise me!”
“Enough talk!”
Seeing the white-robed man's casual expression, the scholarly man shouted, and the invisible flame surged from his body, transforming into a thirty-meter-long fire python.
The enormous fire python's head, with its triangular pupils, glared fiercely at the white-robed man. With a sharp hiss, the massive fire python lunged at him with its gaping maw.
“Heh, turning flames into beasts, I can do that too.”
As the invisible fire python attacked, the white-robed man remained calm. With a wave of his hand, the purple flame transformed into a twenty-meter-tall purple qilin. Its dark purple eyes gleamed as it focused on the approaching fire python. In a flash, the purple qilin leaped forward, attacking the fire python with its agile claws.
The two flame beasts collided fiercely, generating an immense heat that turned the surrounding area into a vacuum.
“Heavens, what is happening in the sky!”
As the flame beasts clashed, Xiao Jin, Liu Ling, and the Serpent Tribe's Great Elder were shocked by the sight of these colossal creatures battling.
“Master!”
“Teacher!”
As they moved closer, Liu Ling and Xiao Jin noticed the white-robed figure and excitedly called out.
“Xiao Jin, Liu Ling, what are you doing here? Get back!”
Upon sensing Xiao Jin and Liu Ling's approach, the white-robed man's expression finally changed. In a battle of this magnitude, a stray attack could spell disaster for Liu Ling.
Hearing Gu He's command, Liu Ling and Xiao Jin retreated with serious expressions.
“Who is that person? Could he be Queen Medusa's ally?”
They could sense that the figure opposing Gu He also possessed a powerful aura and an equally formidable heavenly flame. As they retreated, they began to worry for Gu He.
Meanwhile, the Serpent Tribe's Great Elder focused intently on the red figure behind the scholarly man.
“It’s Her Majesty!”
“Thank goodness, Queen Medusa is safe!”
Upon seeing Queen Medusa, the Great Elder was filled with excitement and quickly moved to approach her, trying to bypass the fighting duo.
“Great Elder, stay back! Do not come closer!”
Queen Medusa noticed the Great Elder’s movement and called out in warning. However, before her words could take effect, the Great Elder had already moved past Gu He. At that moment, a chaotic fireball, a mixture of two flames, shot out from the battling flame beasts, heading straight for the Great Elder.
Sensing the terrifying energy approaching from her left, the Great Elder felt an intense sense of danger. Desperately, she tried to evade, but the fireball still grazed her waist, causing a painful scream to echo through the sky.
Gu He observed the entire incident, but he harbored no goodwill towards the Great Elder and had no intention of helping.
