Dragon Yin Halberd Slices Serpent Emperor

"What kind of terror is this? So this is the Azure Lotus Core Flame from tens of thousands of years ago?" Zhang Tian could not help licking his lips. Even within an illusion, that green fire lotus, several thousand meters wide, made one feel scorching heat.

"Is that fiery-red flame the Emperor Flame? It really is domineering beyond compare, burning the very heavens." Recalling the terrifying might of that Emperor Flame just now, it had suppressed the Azure Lotus Core Flame the moment it appeared. In the end, even after the Azure Lotus Core Flame used the source of the magma space, it was still devoured.

As the Heavenly Flame Technique stopped trembling, the entire illusion shattered before Zhang Tian like a mirror. Zhang Tian subconsciously took a few steps back as the path ahead broke apart inch by inch.

The next moment, Zhang Tian discovered that he had returned to the underground magma. The nine-meter-tall green lotus was still trembling faintly, absorbing the dense fire-attribute energy around it as it nurtured a heavenly strange flame.

"The Azure Lotus Core Flame is mine." Zhang Tian smiled excitedly, and his palm reached straight for the green flame on the lotus platform.

The green flame seemed to sense the threat. The blooming Azure Lotus Core Flame was like a lotus flower, its temperature so high that the space gradually began to distort, as if it were about to erupt with terrifying might.

Zhang Tian stood with his hands behind his back. From his Dantian, an overwhelming suction force rose from his palm, and a suppressive power firmly pinned down the Azure Lotus Core Flame. Threads of force kept tearing at and entangling the flame's main body.

The flame that had been swaying and burning stirred faintly, then was held in Zhang Tian's hand. Its temperature, which could clearly distort space, now seemed not to exist at all. Under the suppression of the Heavenly Flame Technique and the Strange Fire Plaza, it was like an obedient little lamb, without the slightest savagery of a heavenly strange flame.

After suppressing the Azure Lotus Core Flame into the Strange Fire Plaza, among the twenty-three fire pillars, the nineteenth pillar belonging to the Azure Lotus Core Flame lit up, radiating green light.

"This operation can be considered complete." Zhang Tian's face was full of smiles. His palm clenched slightly, and threads of flame coiled around it.

"Wave Splitting Seal." Threads of green flame coiled over the crimson fire seal, and his strike landed on the magma ahead. Like an erupting volcano, it shot dozens of meters into the air, and waves rippled continuously across the magma lake.

"It's clearly a water-attribute Dou Technique, yet I forced it into feeling like a fire-attribute Dou Technique." With the Azure Lotus Core Flame covering the fire seal, its might increased greatly. Even a Dou Zong would not dare touch it lightly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." After tidying up his slightly disheveled appearance, Zhang Tian gave Yun Yun an apologetic look.

"It's all right. I didn't expect the Second Elder to have such a cute side one day." Yun Yun smiled sweetly, seeming somewhat curious about Zhang Tian's change.

"Not at all. I'm just in a better mood." Although Zhang Tian said that, the corners of his mouth could not help rising.

"It seems the Second Elder has already succeeded. That is the Azure Lotus Core Flame, a strange flame countless alchemists would flock to." Even Yun Yun could not help sighing in admiration.

"All right, let's not talk about that. I received news that Medusa Queen also seems to be searching for a strange flame. Let's head back first." Although Zhang Tian said this, having already obtained the Azure Lotus Core Flame, he was not afraid of Medusa Queen at all. She no longer had even the last possible thing that might make him wary.

"That infamous Medusa Queen." Yun Yun's heart tightened as well. Although to her, Medusa's terror might be a little less, in truth, Yun Yun was also extremely wary of her. (I don't know what realm Yun Yun is at, so I'll set her as a Three-Star Dou Huang to avoid controversy.)

Elsewhere, in a small town on the edge of the Tagor Desert, a woman in green seemed to be searching for something everywhere. As she gazed at the distant Tagor Desert, a faint inexplicable sensation arose in her heart.

"Azure Serpent Three Blossom Eyes... in the Tagor Desert?" The woman in green bit her lip, and thoughts began stirring in her heart as well.

"Mm, come to think of it, the Snake-People Race lives in the Tagor Desert. The Azure Serpent Three Blossom Eyes are born from the union of a human and a snake-person. It really might be there." Gritting her teeth, the woman in green directly formed wings with Dou Qi and shot into the sky, streaking across it like a meteor.

This woman was astonishingly a Dou Huang expert!

Rumble, rumble, rumble. In a forest far from the border town, a tremendous roar rang out. An enormous black shadow suddenly rose into the air and also flew toward the desert, following closely behind the woman in green. Its massive shadow covered the ground of the Tagor Desert.

The giant beast had a long, slender body, like a huge snake. On its head was a black spiral horn, and faint purple light flickered over it, clearly hiding deadly poison. On its back were eight demonic wings, purple tinged with black.

On the other side, after Zhang Tian took the Azure Lotus Core Flame, he flew through the sky with Yun Yun. Watching the scenery beneath their feet continuously recede, with endless yellow sand flying, he saw a surge of green Dou Qi rising from the ground, as if an emerald had fallen into the sand.

"What is that?" Yun Yun looked at the figure below. For some reason, this unfamiliar Dou Qi made her feel a sudden palpitation.

"Mm?" Zhang Tian showed a trace of surprise. The feeling of this Dou Qi was very unusual, and a faint guess had already formed in his heart.

"This bloodline... it's much weaker than Gu Xun'er's Dou Di bloodline, but not by too much. Dark green Dou Qi. Could it be the Woeful Poison Body?"

Unable to figure it out, Zhang Tian simply flew straight toward the source of the Dou Qi. The fluctuations of this Dou Qi were not strong, not even reaching the level of a Great Dou Shi, but in terms of bloodline, it possessed a strange uniqueness.

When Zhang Tian arrived, he found a little girl unconscious on the desert. However, she was not the Xiao Yi Xian he had imagined, but a little girl wearing green clothes.

"This person is... Qing Lin?" Looking at the little girl lying on the ground, Zhang Tian was somewhat astonished. Could fate really be this marvelous? Why would he run into this little girl here?

"This girl seems to have the bloodline of the Snake-People Race in her." Yun Yun also came over and glanced at her. Her pretty brows furrowed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she parted her red lips and spoke.

Then a trace of sympathy appeared on her face as well. She was not some naive sect master. Yun Yun knew a little about the filthy affairs between human mercenaries and snake-people.

"All right, someone is coming. Protect her and return to the Yun Lan Sect first. I'll go back after I deal with these enemies." Zhang Tian frowned. His Dou Qi lifted Qing Lin and let her land steadily in Yun Yun's arms.

"Be careful." Yun Yun hesitated for a while as she sensed two powerful auras rushing toward this place with aggressive momentum.

In truth, she still wanted to say that opposing two Dou Huangs for the sake of a little girl of unknown origin was clearly unwise. However, seeing that Zhang Tian had already taken out the ice-blue Dragon Yin Halberd, the determination in his eyes made Yun Yun fall silent.

"Hurry up and leave, or it'll be troublesome." In truth, Zhang Tian was afraid that they might run into Medusa Queen later. If that happened, it would not be easy for Yun Yun to get away either.

Yun Yun nodded. It was only a small matter like helping take away a little girl, so she would not refuse. After all, he was not asking her to face two Dou Huangs.

"Where is she? The aura disappeared? It's getting fainter... no, that girl left." The woman in green soon arrived in the air above the place Yun Yun had just been. The already gloomy expression on her face could not help becoming even uglier.

"Whoosh!" Zhang Tian soared into the air like an arrow released from the bowstring, sweeping past the flowing clouds to arrive before the woman in green. He swung his halberd toward her face.

"Roar!" The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor let out a furious roar. Its giant tail twisted a few times, and it actually caught up very quickly. Under the Black Serpent Emperor's shocked and enraged gaze, the woman in green's reaction speed simply could not keep up with Zhang Tian's attack speed. In an instant, he thrust out nearly a hundred times.

Even though the woman in green did her best to dodge, more than a dozen thrusts still pierced through her body, leaving over ten bloody holes. In an instant, the woman in green was dyed red with blood.

Her body was clearly not as powerful as the Amethyst Winged Lion King's. She was pierced through almost in an instant, then became barely alive.

"Roar!" However, the woman in green was also ruthless. Knowing her life was hanging by a thread, she directly raised her arm, which transformed into a savage giant snake that bit toward Zhang Tian.

"Serpent Binding of Ten Thousand Prisoners!" The woman in green bit the tip of her tongue, and a mouthful of blood essence mixed with enormous energy and Dou Qi. Three sinister venomous snakes, each dozens of zhang long, coiled toward Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian smashed the green snake head apart with one thrust, then flew back.

"The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, and a female Dou Huang." In the air, Zhang Tian muttered inwardly. With a cold snort, the Azure Lotus Core Flame coiled around his fist. He swung his fist down, endless threads of fire twining around it. Even the void was smashed into a depression and trembled, while endless fire threads burned the seemingly nonexistent sky.

Only at the Dou Zong realm could one affect space, while at Dou Zun, one could tear space apart. As for Dou Sheng, they possessed the ability to create space.

This strike had already reached the might of a Dou Zong. Moreover, it was not like the tiny bit of space that barely trembled when Yun Yun used Wind Extreme Meteor Kill, but rather the entire sky being struck into a burning depression.

The three giant green snakes that wanted to bind Zhang Tian instantly twisted and collapsed, turning into Dou Qi that filled the sky and disappeared.

"Whoosh." A green fire thread flashed past, almost surpassing thought itself. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor froze blankly, then felt a piercing pain from its back. One of the huge wings on its back had actually been severed at the root.

"Ah!"
