Kapitel 31: Chapter 31: Fierce Battle
The molten lava roiled continuously, with chunks of rock falling into it ceaselessly.
As the scales on the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake began to light up one by one, its four snake pupils also glowed a scarlet hue, fixated intently on the nimble and diminutive figure, it paused slightly, choosing not to pursue further.
Wei Yang's movements halted as well.
Suddenly, wisps of dark red flames emerged from the magma, burning fiercely. Soon, a vast sea of dark red fire formed, hovering above the magma lake.
The temperature here instantly escalated, becoming terrifyingly hot, as if even the air was about to be incinerated.
Boom!
The dark red flames swirling in the sky suddenly began to rage, spinning rapidly and emitting roaring noises that echoed continuously in this vast underground world.
As the sea of flames spun more intensely, within it, several Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes formed entirely of flames appeared vividly and vividly.
These flame-formed Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes appeared to possess both form and spirit, remarkably lively, and their size was not much smaller than the original.
Their bodies coiled, completely surrounding Wei Yang in the center, with snake heads twisting and trident tongues flickering, dozens of rhombus-shaped pupils gleaming with ferocity and madness, fixated on Wei Yang.
A hint of danger permeated the air.
"This fire manipulation technique is somewhat exaggerated, isn't it..." Wei Yang paused, the black wings gently flapping, stirring up waves of hot air. His mouth opened widely, swallowing hard with some difficulty. He felt a bit numb at the scalp; is this still a magical beast?
This fire manipulation technique is more skilled than many alchemists!
He was indeed waiting for the opponent's great move, but this great move... even made his scalp tingle slightly, his heart growing heavy.
At this moment, several Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes let out a simultaneous hiss, the sharp sound continuously echoing in the underground world, extremely piercing.
With the hissing, those flame-composed Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes seemed to form a flame serpent formation.
And at the center of the serpent formation was Wei Yang, who could not evade.
Then, with endless flames and a terrifying temperature capable of burning the air to ashes, they charged toward Wei Yang, unfurling across the sky.
Several massive fire snakes, each more than ten meters in length, danced and attacked in the void, presenting a terrifying spectacle.
The scene was indeed grand and spectacular.
However, behind this spectacle was destruction, a crisis severe enough to leave an ordinary Dou Wang expert gravely injured.
"Dammit~ Underestimated it, should have waited until reaching the peak of Dou Ling before coming. Never thought eleven years of cautious cultivation would be breached at this moment!"
Staring at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes attacking from all sides, Wei Yang's eyes held a hint of shock and awe.
"A peak fourth-tier magical beast, in this environment, with innate fire manipulation, exploded with power comparable to a mid-level Dou Wang... No, this magnitude even seems to touch the high-level Dou Wang tier, doesn't it?"
"Since there's no avoiding it, let's confront it head-on! Even though I'm cautious, it doesn't mean I'm weak!"
These thoughts flickered through his mind in an instant.
Externally, it was nothing more than a mere moment.
Wei Yang took a light breath of the scorching air, his form moving as he shot upwards. The red Dou Qi covering his body darkened noticeably, and he pressed his right palm fiercely against the void before him.
Roar~
An enormous eight-meter-long fiery red lion appeared in the void, opening its mouth to unleash an angry roar beneath.
Instantly.
A ripple of sound waves rapidly spread out, momentarily pausing the vast sea of dark red flames below.
Then, this enormous fiery lion charged forward, crashing fiercely towards the several Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes.
The fiery red lion and the flame-composed Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snakes collided simultaneously at the central location.
At the moment of impact.
Boom!!!
In an earth-shattering explosion, a mushroom cloud formed entirely of pure flames rose into the air.
A fierce energy ring expanded rapidly in all directions, followed by more energy ripples scattering widely.
Wei Yang's black wings flapped frantically, his figure retreating rapidly, leaving behind afterimages in the void. The Dou Qi within him circulated wildly, forming a thick shield on his body's surface.
However, as fast as he retreated, the energy ripples spread even faster.
In an instant, they caught up, sweeping through the afterimages left in the void by his rapid movement, visibly destroying them one by one.
"Too late!"
At this moment, time seemed to slow. Wei Yang felt his hair stand on end, his pupils reflecting the outlines of the incoming energy ripples.
His body quickly curled up, arms covering his head, while the black wings behind him wrapped around his entire form.
Subsequently, the energy ripples swept over.
Bang!
Wei Yang felt as though he was struck head-on by an ancient dragon, his whole body shooting out like a cannonball, smashing severely against the distant rock wall.
Boom!
The rock wall shattered, and Wei Yang was embedded within.
"Brother Yang~"
Elsewhere far away, watching the whole scene, Ye Xian'er cried out with reddened eyes.
The energy, though diminished significantly, spread to her location, striking her gray-white Dou Qi armor, forcing her to retreat until her back collided with the rock wall, causing spiderweb-like cracks to spread before she stopped.
Hiss~
Amidst the slowly dissipating mushroom cloud and the descending magma, a sharp pain-filled hiss emerged.
Ye Xian'er glared furiously, grit her teeth.
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake looked incredibly pitiful, its two heads damaged almost beyond recognition.
Many of its scales had fallen off, and the entire snake body, previously like a fiery jade sculpture, now appeared bloody and battered.
As the mushroom cloud gradually dissipated and the falling magma poured down, its body also fell powerlessly onto the lava.
Earlier, in order to enhance its attack power for a decisive strike against that despicable human, one of its forms naturally joined in among the attacking serpent formation.
This ultimately positioned it at the epicenter of the explosion.
Surviving with its body intact was testament to its robust magical beast form and its fire element nature.
Ye Xian'er glanced at the immobile Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake soaking in the lava, then ignored it, focusing worriedly on the direction where Wei Yang was located.
She really wanted to go over, but, alas, she couldn't fly, forced to stand anxiously watching.
After a while.
Boom, the rock wall's debris exploded, and a somewhat disheveled figure shot out, black wings unfurled, suspended in the void.
Ye Xian'er's eyes brightened immediately upon seeing this.
Hoo~
Wei Yang's face was pale, his chest heaving violently, gasping for breath. His clothes were torn, and his hair appeared disheveled, with his whole body feeling like it was going to disassemble from the pain gnawing everywhere.
He moved his body slightly.
Hiss~
The pain made him draw a cold breath.
Recalling the earlier scene, he glanced toward the black wings behind him, a cold sweat breaking out, feeling a bit fearful.
Thankfully, the black wings were there, and of good quality, having withstood most of the energy ripples; otherwise, he might have been severely injured at this moment.
Now, though he appeared disheveled, the injuries were minor and would heal with some rest.
Following, Wei Yang sensed the dwindling Dou Qi within him, his cultivation technique automatically starting to operate, absorbing the abundant external fire element energy for recovery.
"Brother Yang~" Ye Xian'er stood on her tiptoes, waving and shouting from afar.
"Coming." Wei Yang responded, flapping his black wings, swiftly flying toward her.
