Unyielding? Torture It!

Wei Yang had only just landed and steadied himself when, before he could say anything, a soft, delicate body carrying a pleasant fragrance rushed over and threw itself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Wei Yang secretly bared his teeth. The little girl's impact made every bone in his body ache faintly again. He held back his groan and instead tightened his arms around her.

"Brother Yang, how are you? Are your injuries serious?" Ye Xian'er anxiously checked him over with her hands.

"No, no, I'm not injured," Wei Yang hurriedly said.

"Brother Yang, just now... I was so worried about you..." Xian'er's voice choked up.

Looking at the sobbing Xian'er in his arms, Wei Yang affectionately rubbed her little head and comforted her softly. "Silly girl, I'm completely fine. I'm very strong, you know."

"Mm." Xian'er nodded hard. She squeezed herself more firmly into his embrace before finally raising her head, her eyes still slightly red.

Pursing her lips, she said, "Brother Yang, you're lying. You said before that you needed my help, but in the end, you handled everything yourself."

Then she grew a little dejected. "It's all because I'm useless. I couldn't help Brother Yang."

"Who says that? Xian'er is very useful. Just wait here." As he spoke, Wei Yang released the reluctant and puzzled Xian'er. With a flash, the Black Wings behind his back spread open, and he flew away.

Arriving above the Magma Lake, he lowered his head and looked at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. Its body was soaking in the magma, its flesh torn and bloody, its scales shattered beyond recognition. Bones were even exposed in some places. With its eyes closed, it lay there like a dead snake.

Wei Yang released his senses and soon vaguely detected a weak trace of life within its body. Its body was also secretly absorbing the surrounding magma's energy to recover.

"Hmph! As expected, it isn't dead yet. It truly deserves to be called a magical beast raised in magma. Its vitality is really tenacious." Wei Yang sneered, not surprised in the slightest.

After all, this was its home ground. In such an environment, its life force was incredibly strong.

Moreover, both sides had used fire-element energy in their battle. It had high fire resistance to begin with, so it was not strange at all that it was still alive.

After all, in the original story, it was a creature that managed to survive Medusa's hands more than a year later.

Who was Medusa?

She was a peak Dou Emperor expert!

Perhaps Medusa's mind had been focused entirely on the Heavenly Flames at the time, so she had not paid much attention to the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

But there was no denying that it had some ability to survive her even after ambushing Medusa.

Otherwise, if it had been at full strength, it would not have let Xiao Yan sneak into the depths of the magma so easily and successfully take away the Green Lotus Seat.

Even with Elder Yao possessing him, after such a fierce battle, Elder Yao's weakened soul would probably have had a hard time enduring it.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Wei Yang moved in a blur and arrived at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's neck. He circulated Dou Qi around his palm and grabbed the skin at its vital spot.

Then, flapping the Black Wings behind his back, he lifted it from the magma and suspended it in midair.

Sensing its gaze upon him, Wei Yang looked down and met its four slightly opened snake eyes. They were weak and dull, yet still carried a trace of ferocity.

"Unyielding? Very good. I hope you can keep holding out later." Wei Yang smiled.

His Black Wings flapped as he carried its enormous body near Xian'er. With a wave of his hand, arcs of Dou Qi blade-light slashed out, carving a rather spacious platform into the nearby rock wall.

Then he casually threw it down.

Bang! Bang!

Half of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's body and its two heads fell limply onto the platform, kicking up a little dust.

The other half of its body and its tail plunged downward into the magma, splashing up two enormous waves of molten rock that spread in both directions.

At that moment, Ye Xian'er also drifted over and landed beside Wei Yang, taking his hand in hers.

She glanced at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. Even in its miserable state, it still looked somewhat savage and frightening. She frowned slightly and unconsciously took two steps back.

For girls, snakes were bound to inspire some degree of aversion.

"Brother Yang, is it dead?" Ye Xian'er asked.

"Not yet. This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake is quite tenacious, especially in an environment like this." Wei Yang smiled and lifted his foot to kick one of its heads.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake slightly opened its eyes again. Its four fiery-red snake pupils stared at Wei Yang with defiance and resentment, though a deeply hidden trace of fear could also be seen within them.

Magical beasts were like that. They followed the law of the strong devouring the weak.

If you were stronger and defeated it, it would fear you. If you beat it into submission, it might even submit to you.

"Then are we going to kill it now?" Ye Xian'er asked.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake seemed to understand her. Its diamond-shaped pupils shrank, and its eyes opened a little wider.

"No." Wei Yang shook his head. "The Heavenly Flames we're looking for are in the depths of this Magma Lake, but who knows how deep or vast the bottom is... There are also undercurrents down there. If I go down to search for it myself, it'll be troublesome, no different from looking for a needle in the sea."

As he spoke, Wei Yang stared into the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's eyes. "This fellow definitely knows the location of the Heavenly Flames. If it's willing to lead the way, we'll be able to find them easily."

After the two stared at each other for a moment, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake closed all four of its eyes again. A trace of defiance flashed through them, clearly showing that it did not want to submit and lead the way.

"How hateful. Brother Yang already beat it into such a state, and it still refuses to submit." Ye Xian'er immediately said angrily.

In her heart, Brother Yang's matters were the most important thing. What was more, this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had just injured Brother Yang...

The little girl held grudges.

Thus, seeing its attitude now, Xian'er was somewhat angry as well.

Wei Yang smiled. "Xian'er, since it refuses to submit, it'll depend on you now. Poison it! Just don't kill it. Torture it until it's willing to submit and lead us there."

"Mm." Ye Xian'er nodded, rubbing her hands together eagerly.

Her eyes rolled as she sized up the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, already pondering which poison would work best.

Perhaps sensing the pair's intense malice, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake felt waves of chill run through its heart. It could not help opening its eyes a little more, its four snake pupils watching them warily.

"Got it. Let's try this."

Very soon, Ye Xian'er clapped her little hands together, walked to one side, took out several bottles, jars, and medicinal herbs from her Storage Ring, then squatted down and began fiddling with them.

When it came to poison, she was a professional.

Wei Yang smiled at the sight. After giving the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake a pitying look, he ignored it and sat down cross-legged, silently circulating his technique to recover.

After a while.

Ye Xian'er walked over holding several jade bottles, and Wei Yang opened his eyes at just the right moment.

"Brother Yang, it's ready. I mixed several poisons with different effects. None are lethal, but all of them can make it feel extremely uncomfortable."

Ye Xian'er waved the jade bottles in her hand and said confidently, "I hope it can hold out a little longer, so I can test every one of these poisons on it."

Wei Yang could not help laughing.

As for the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, a distinct trace of fear appeared in its four snake eyes.

"Hmm... Let's start with this one." Ye Xian'er looked over the jade bottles in her hand, thought for a moment, then selected one.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake seemed to want to struggle to its feet, but unfortunately, it did not have a shred of strength left.

All it could do was watch helplessly with its four eyes as Ye Xian'er opened the jade bottle and poured out a jade-green liquid that gave off a faint, strange scent...

The liquid landed on one of its wounds and slowly seeped inside.

Wei Yang and Ye Xian'er stared at it curiously.

Its four snake pupils stared back at them.

Eight eyes met, and silence filled the air.

Very soon, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake reacted...
