Devouring the Beast Flame 'Dark Wolf Flame'

"Heh heh, you little bastard. Today, I'll make you regret this foolish move."

Seeing Xiao Yan accept the challenge, Jialie Ao gave a cold smile. Faint cyan Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palm.

Standing motionless, Jialie Ao suddenly bent both palms into claw-like shapes. At his fingertips, cyan Dou Qi gathered into ten vaguely visible spikes. With a sinister grin, he waved his claws, creating a fierce wind-splitting sound as he attacked Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also circulated the Dou Qi inside his body. The iron rod in his hand shot out without hesitation, like a sharp arrow released from a bowstring, streaking toward Jialie Ao's head.

Looking at the incoming iron rod, Jialie Ao sneered disdainfully. His palm, wrapped in cyan Dou Qi, turned and clenched. Then, with a tremor, the air before him rippled slightly, and several pale-cyan whirlwinds appeared out of thin air.

After passing through several small whirlwinds, the iron rod's force was easily neutralized.

Having lost the strength supporting it, the iron rod fell helplessly to the ground when it was only half a meter from Jialie Ao's head, producing a crisp clang.

Seeing that Xiao Yan and Jialie Ao had begun fighting, all the onlookers widened their eyes and watched the battle.

However, seeing Xiao Yan fall into a disadvantage, they all shook their heads in disappointment.

Xiao Yan had risen to prominence too recently and was far inferior to Jialie Ao, who was several years older. This challenge seemed no different from an egg striking a rock.

With this thought, they turned their gazes toward Mo Yu, hoping for some kind of surprise.

As for their expectations, Mo Yu merely watched Xiao Yan retreat with indifference. When it came to the latter's strength, probably no one understood him better.

This guy always liked to hide his true abilities until the critical moment.

"Hehe, stop watching. Your Xiao Family member is nothing special either. All he knows is how to brag." Seeing Xiao Yan being suppressed by Jialie Ao, Liu Xi sneered from the corner of his mouth before looking disdainfully at Mo Yu.

In his eyes, Mo Yu would end up suffering a crushing defeat at his hands just like Xiao Yan.

"You shouldn't have become an Alchemist. You'd be better suited as a clown, because your facial skills are clearly more impressive than your fighting skills." Watching Liu Xi constantly taunt him, a trace of disgust flashed through Mo Yu's calm eyes.

A fly like this, who strutted around showing off at every opportunity just because he had some ability, was truly irritating.

"I hope your strength is tougher than your mouth!" The gloom in Liu Xi's eyes deepened. He suddenly clenched his right fist, and red Dou Qi rapidly condensed over its surface, eventually forming a small vortex.

"Profound Tier Low-Level Dou Technique: Blazing Steel Fist!"

His fist tore through the air with a sharp whistle, carrying a massive wave of fiery pressure that rushed toward them.

On the other side, feeling the fiery pressure rushing toward him, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. The Dou Qi within his body circulated rapidly. At the same time, fifteen Lightning Patterns suddenly lit up on his right arm.

"Thunder Adamant Body!"

With a calm expression, Mo Yu activated the Thunder Adamant Body as effortlessly as eating or drinking. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he finally collided head-on with Jialie Ao's heavy punch.

At the instant their fists and feet met, Thunder Dou Qi rapidly surged across Mo Yu's right arm. His faint sound of drinking caused Liu Xi's expression to change drastically.

"Bang!" Their fists and feet collided, and a muffled boom spread from the point of contact like muffled thunder.

"Crack!" The instant they connected, the sharp sound of breaking bones rang out. Liu Xi's body was immediately sent flying backward.

"Five Star Dou Practitioner?"

Looking at Liu Xi flying backward and the strength Mo Yu had displayed, the surrounding Mercenaries fell completely silent.

They never could have imagined that Liu Xi, who seemed to have an overwhelming advantage, would be sent flying with a single strike.

Even Xiao Yan and Jialie Ao, who were fighting nearby, were drawn by the commotion. They halted their movements and stared at the scene in stunned disbelief.

"Cousin Mo Yu is truly a pervert." Seeing this, Xiao Yan thought to himself.

With her red lips slightly parted, Xiao Yu stared in shock at Liu Xi, who had been sent flying with a single move. She had always believed that Mo Yu would not lose, but she had never expected him to win so easily.

And he was a Five Star Dou Practitioner? How had this guy's strength increased so quickly?

Xun'er also looked at Mo Yu in surprise. This Cousin clearly had more to him than simply apprenticing himself to a mysterious Artifact Refiner. He definitely possessed an even greater secret...

"Hmph, don't think you've won!"

At that moment, Liu Xi slowly got to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with an irreconcilable hatred as he glared venomously at Mo Yu. Suddenly, he waved his right hand, and a dark-green solid flame appeared in his palm.

The instant this flame appeared, the atmosphere in the arena became much tenser. Several Mercenaries were actually intimidated by its force and hurriedly retreated several steps.

"This is a Beast Flame?" Looking at the flame that carried a trace of beastly might, Mo Yu guessed.

"Not bad. You have some knowledge. This is the 'Dark Wolf Flame' my teacher specially gave me when I advanced to become a First-Grade Alchemist. Among Beast Flames, it's considered extremely good. Being defeated by a Beast Flame today can also be considered an honor." Liu Xi looked extremely disheveled, but the hatred in his eyes had grown even stronger.

Hearing how proud Liu Xi was of it, Mo Yu merely smiled faintly, a trace of contempt flashing across his lips.

Even ordinary Heavenly Flames did not attract much of his attention, let alone this Beast Flame. Its color and Aura were both extremely ordinary, and among Beast Flames, it was merely average.

"Then let me see what power your Beast Flame possesses." Mo Yu spoke indifferently.

Seeing that Mo Yu did not take the Dark Wolf Flame seriously at all, the proud Liu Xi immediately flew into a rage.

"Die, you damned bastard!"

With the Beast Flame revealed, Liu Xi frantically drew out the Dou Qi within his body, then poured it continuously into the Dark Wolf Flame in his hand. Under his crazed actions, the flame of the Dark Wolf Flame grew much darker and more intensely green.

"Hahaha, die!"

Feeling the immense and terrifying power of the flame in his palm, Liu Xi laughed crazily. He then wielded the Beast Flame and smashed it viciously toward Mo Yu.

This bastard who had humiliated him had to die without leaving even ashes behind. Only then could the deep hatred in his heart be extinguished.

Seeing Liu Xi charge toward him with such ferocity, Mo Yu had to admit that this lustful Guy could indeed create quite an imposing display when fighting for his life. However, that was all it amounted to.

For some reason, when he saw the dark-green Beast Flame, a desire quietly rose in Mo Yu's heart—a desire to devour it.

"Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder!"

With a thought from Mo Yu, a crimson bolt of lightning flashed in his palm. Under the Youth's control, it shot directly toward the Dark Wolf Flame.

Seeing that Mo Yu neither dodged nor evaded but instead came straight at him, Liu Xi could not help but laugh wildly.

"Good! Come on!"

As the owner of the Dark Wolf Flame, no one understood its power better than him. Even a Dou Shi Strong Person would not dare to clash with it head-on. Thus, in his eyes, Mo Yu was clearly seeking his own death.

As for the obscure Crimson Lightning that had suddenly surged from Mo Yu's palm, his arrogance caused him to ignore it automatically.

"Boom!"

However, before he could laugh for long, the instant the Dark Wolf Flame collided with the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder, an ominous feeling suddenly swept over him. He then felt, in terror, that the Beast Flame inside his body was being pulled by a powerful force and was about to break free from him!

"Devour!"

At the same time, the instant the Profound Thunder collided with the Beast Flame, Mo Yu controlled the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder and frantically devoured the Beast Flame.

Although the Profound Thunder was currently in the Infancy Stage, its power was still more than three times stronger than that of an ordinary Beast Flame. Moreover, just as a high-level-bloodline Magical Beast possessed an Aura that suppressed lower-level Magical Beasts, the Profound Thunder also held a certain transcendent suppression over Beast Flames.

Thus, under Mo Yu's control, the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder was like a greedy Taotie, devouring the Dark Wolf Flame bit by bit.

Mo Yu had initially found Liu Xi's attack somewhat troublesome and was about to use the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear in his Storage Ring when the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder inside his body faintly conveyed a message to him.

It could devour this Dark Wolf Flame!

Seeing this, Mo Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder.

He could sense that the Profound Thunder's desire to devour Beast Flames seemed even more urgent and voracious than its desire for Magic Cores.

Liu Xi noticed this as well. Just as his face paled, his eyes filled with shock, confusion, and terror, and he tried to withdraw the Beast Flame, he discovered that the situation was already beyond his control. He immediately looked at Mo Yu as though he were looking at a demon.

"Hahaha, thank you for the gift, Mr. Liu Xi." After a moment, once Mo Yu had completely devoured the Dark Wolf Flame, he sent a hidden strand of Profound Thunder power into Liu Xi's body before withdrawing the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder. Then he looked at his opponent with a beaming smile.
