Clash Between Fire Beasts!

"Have these two both stepped into the legendary Dou Zun Realm?"

After experiencing the aftershock of their battle at close range, Queen Medusa's face immediately turned pale. While astonished by their strength, she felt even more grateful toward the refined middle-aged man. If he had not pushed her away in time, she would have been seriously injured even if she survived that shockwave.

Under Queen Medusa's watchful gaze, the two men's expressions turned grave after their tentative exchange.

"Looks like I won't be able to take you down without getting serious!" The man in white snorted coldly, and a wisp of dazzling Purple Flame rose from his palm.

The moment the Purple Flame appeared, the temperature across the sky soared. The air within a radius of dozens of li was instantly filled with scorching energy.

"Heavenly Flame!"

Seeing the Purple Flame rising from the white-robed man's hand, Queen Medusa cried out in alarm and began to worry for the refined man fighting him.

"This Heavenly Flame looks far more powerful than the Green Lotus Core Flame. Can he withstand it?"

As Queen Medusa worried, Xiao Jin and Liu Ling, who were rapidly approaching, also sensed the blazing heat rushing toward them.

"It's Master! It's Master's Heavenly Flame aura!"

Upon sensing that scorching aura, excitement immediately flooded Xiao Jin's childish face. He accelerated, bringing Liu Ling toward the scene.

At that moment, another figure moving just as swiftly appeared in Xiao Jin and Liu Ling's field of vision.

As Xiao Jin and Liu Ling looked toward that figure, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder also noticed them.

"A Dou Zong expert!"

Seeing Xiao Jin walking through the air, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder felt a trace of doubt rise in her heart.

After exchanging glances, both sides slowed down somewhat. At that moment, the heat between heaven and earth suddenly rose again, and this scorching energy was completely different from the previous one.

The instant that heat appeared, Liu Ling, Xiao Jin, and even the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder all felt a burning pain rise within their hearts.

Liu Ling had the lowest cultivation. When the heart fire suddenly erupted, his expression immediately turned pained.

Fortunately, they were still some distance from the source of the heart fire, and it was not deliberately attacking them. In an instant, Xiao Jin extinguished the heart fire, then pressed a surge of golden energy from his palm onto Liu Ling's body to help him dispel it.

After Xiao Jin dissolved the flames rising within his own heart, Liu Ling still looked deeply shaken.

After the two flame auras appeared, Xiao Jin and the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder accelerated once more.

"This flame that can rise from within one's heart must be the Fallen Heart Flame!"

Far away in the high sky, when Queen Medusa saw the invisible flames rising from the refined man's body, she was both shocked and relieved for him. She sighed, "With the Fallen Heart Flame, he shouldn't be at too great a disadvantage!"

Although Queen Medusa did not know what Heavenly Flame the man in white controlled, her intuition told her that its power far surpassed both the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Tut, tut!"

In the battlefield, the white-robed man stared at the flames around the refined man and said with a click of his tongue, "Fallen Heart Flame. You've surprised me once again!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Seeing the casual expression on the white-robed man's face, the refined man shouted. The invisible flames then surged violently from his body, transforming into a Formless Fire Python over thirty zhang long.

The enormous head of the Formless Fire Python had a pair of triangular eyes glaring viciously at the white-robed man. The next moment, accompanied by a piercing hiss, the enormous python opened its gaping jaws and bit directly toward him.

"Hehe, turning flames into beasts? I can do that too."

As the Formless Fire Python launched its fierce attack, the white-robed man's expression remained calm. With a wave of his hand, the Purple Flame swiftly transformed into a twenty-zhang Purple Qilin. Its dark violet pupils glimmered with strange light as it stared at the incoming Formless Fire Python. In an instant, the Purple Qilin gave a light kick and spread its nimble claws, charging straight toward the python.

The two fire beasts collided violently. The terrifying heat they generated immediately turned the surrounding area into a vacuum.

"Heavens, what are those things in the sky?!"

As the two fire beasts clashed fiercely, Xiao Jin, Liu Ling, and the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder watched the duel between the two colossal creatures from afar, their hearts filled with shock.

"Master!"

"Master!"

As they moved closer again, Liu Ling and Xiao Jin spotted the white-robed figure and shouted excitedly.

"Xiao Jin, Liu Ling, why are you here? Get farther away, now!"

After noticing Xiao Jin and Liu Ling approaching, the white-robed man's expression changed for the first time. In a battle of this level, if Liu Ling were caught in it by accident, it would spell utter disaster for him.

Upon hearing Gu He's orders, Liu Ling and Xiao Jin retreated with grave expressions.

"Who is that person? Could he be a helper Queen Medusa invited?"

They could sense that the figure opposing Gu He possessed an extremely powerful aura. Moreover, he wielded a powerful Heavenly Flame just like Gu He. As they retreated, they could not help worrying about Gu He.

Meanwhile, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder's gaze was fixed tightly on the red figure behind the refined man.

"It's Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Wonderful! Her Majesty the Queen is all right!"

Upon seeing Queen Medusa, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder was overwhelmed with excitement. Her figure flashed as she prepared to circle around the combatants and approach Queen Medusa.

"Grand Elder, leave quickly! Don't come over!"

After Queen Medusa noticed the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder's movements, she immediately called out a warning. But by the time her words fell, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder had already set off and passed around Gu He. At that moment, however, a chaotic fireball mixed with two kinds of flames suddenly splashed out from where the two fire beasts were battling, flying directly toward the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder.

Sensing the terrifying energy shooting toward her from the left, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder felt an intense sense of danger rise in her heart. In that instant, she desperately tried to shift her body, but she still failed to avoid it. The energy ball sliced across her waist, and a miserable scream immediately erupted through the sky.

Gu He witnessed everything, but he had never held much goodwill toward the Grand Elder in the first place, so naturally, he did not move to save her.
