Encirclement

Xiao Ming's words made sense. At the pitch-black spire of the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, a circle of black energy, like a curtain, was slowly rotating.

That was a defense set up by the Dean of the Jia Nan Academy. This seemingly weak defense actually possessed extremely terrifying defensive power. If this layer of defense was not removed, with the current energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, it would indeed be difficult to break through it.

Su Qian immediately formed a hand seal, and an extremely powerful Spatial Fluctuation from his hand toward the top of the tower.

"Drink! Relieve!"

Instantly, the dark energy at the top of the tower slowly dissipated, and at the very last moment it disappeared, a high-pitched shriek filled with excitement suddenly rang out.

An invisible sound wave suddenly emanated from the tower, then crashed heavily into the Thousand Layer Seal of the surrounding elders, causing the colorful energy wall to ripple violently.

"It's coming out..."

The instant the energy ripples disappeared, as if sensing something, Xiao Ming murmured softly.

The sound had barely faded when a deafening explosion, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, suddenly resounded through the sky. Immediately afterward, a huge hole exploded in the top of the incredibly sturdy Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, and a column of scorching magma erupted forth amidst the horrified gazes of those in the distance!

The scorching lava flow, like a pillar of fire, shot straight out from the top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda. In that instant, the energy in the entire Inner Academy suddenly surged violently.

As it broke free of the seal of the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, an excited, sharp screech suddenly erupted from the lava flow like thunder. Immediately, lava rained down everywhere, and fierce flames rose up wherever the lava landed. Thus, in a short time, the area within dozens of meters of the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda was transformed into a sea of fire.

Lava spilled out, and an enormous, Invisible Fire Python, tens of meters long, burst forth from it. Feeling that long-lost freedom, its huge triangular eyes were filled with a kind of extremely human-like ecstasy.

On treetops and rooftops a hundred meters away from the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, countless students stood in disarray, staring in horror at the enormous creature that burst forth from the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda. None of them had ever imagined that such a ferocious beast was hidden in the place where they often cultivated.

"So the reason the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda was closed was because of this ferocious creature. I didn't know it was Magical Beast; it's incredibly terrifying."

"I wonder how the elders plan to deal with this monster? If it escapes, the Inner Academy will likely suffer heavy losses!"

"Hey, what are you worrying about? Five Dou Zong, plus dozens of Dou Wang and Dou Emperor elders, with this lineup, how could this monster escape?"

"Haha, you're right! I was overthinking it."

The students were discussing among themselves. Above the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, Su Qian looked at the Invisible Fire Python circling above the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda with a somewhat surprised expression.

"This beast seems much stronger than last time."

Before Su Qian could think further, the Invisible Fire Python paused briefly, then suddenly its flames surged to an extremely terrifying level.

It slowly raised its enormous head, its eyes gleaming fiercely as it gazed at the colorful energy network in the sky. Having tasted the sweetness of freedom, it was naturally unwilling to return to that world filled with magma and Fire Poison.

Now, once this barrier is broken through, it will regain its true freedom!

"Chirp!" A sharp cry rang out, and the piercing sound waves spread out rapidly as if they were tangible, finally striking the vertical energy wall around it and creating ripples of rapid vibration.

It looks rather terrifying, but that's about it.

Seemingly realizing that its attack was ineffective, the Invisible Fire Python emitted a sharp sound and gradually coiled into Snake Formation in the sky, its completely white triangular pupils fixedly staring at Su Qian, who was located at the center of the energy network.

As the Snake Formation coiled up, the flames on the Invisible Fire Python's body rose even more fiercely, and even the surrounding space became extremely distorted, to the point that all one could see when looking at the Fire Python was a blurry, enormous figure.

"Old Man Hu, Old Man Huo, why aren't you making your move yet!" Seeing the Invisible Fire Python's attack posture, Su Qian shouted speechlessly. What are you all standing there for? Are you watching a show?

"Grumble!"

As soon as Su Qian finished speaking, the coiled, Invisible Fire Python suddenly stretched out its body, and then its huge body shot out like lightning. Its speed was comparable to lightning, and it was not slowed down in the slightest by its huge body.

Where the Fire Python darted through, it left a vacuum mark in the void, the temperature scorching hot. Even from a great distance, it still caused some elders to slightly change their expressions.

"Drink! Get out of my way!"

A loud shout rang out, Hu Gan and the others, who had been watching the show on the ground for a while, finally made a move.

A blinding red light struck the lantern-sized eye of the Invisible Fire Python, interrupting its attack midway. Then, an extremely powerful Lei Guang followed, striking the massive body of the Invisible Fire Python and slamming it down with tremendous force.

The giant tail swayed violently in mid-air, and finally stopped abruptly when it was less than ten meters from the ground.

The Invisible Fire Python seemed a little dazed from the attack. It shook its head, and when it turned its head back to its original position, it found four Aura humans standing in front of it.

"Hehe, your good days are over, you beast." Hu Gan a slight smile.

"Chirp!" As if enraged by these words, the Invisible Fire Python lashed out with its giant tail and shot into the sky again. When it was less than fifty meters away from the energy net, it opened its giant mouth and Formless Flame instantly enveloped Hu Gan other three.

Looking at the Formless Flame surging towards them like wildfire, Hu Gan and the others also became slightly serious. They quickly formed hand seals, and various colors of Dou Qi Energy surged from their bodies, keeping the Formless Flame at bay.

Clearly, the Fallen Heart Flame's fire attack could not cause any real damage to Hu Gan and the others.

"Chirp!" Suddenly, another sharp sound wave rang out, and the Formless Flame that swept out all around began to wriggle, finally condensing into a Small Flame Snake as thick as an arm in everyone's sight.

As soon as the Small Flame Snake took shape, it crashed into the energy net with terrifying speed, and then... exploded with a bang.

As the explosion erupted, the energy network vibrated rapidly, and finally, an extremely small opening quietly appeared.

Before the Invisible Fire Python could even feel pleased, the opening was immediately repaired by Su Qian, who was at the center of the Thousand Layer Seal.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming outside the Thousand Layer Seal chuckled, "This Fallen Heart Flame really wants to escape at all times. In the battle, it doesn't even attack its opponent first, but instead attacks the seal. This Thousand Layer Seal is formed by the combined energy of a Dou Zong and dozens of Dou Wang. How could it be so easy to break through? This will only waste its own energy, and it will also give Master and the others an opportunity to attack."

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, Hu Gan and the others launched a relentless bombardment of the Invisible Fire Python.
