Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus! Slaying Two Magical Beasts!
As he approached the fangs, Wang Chen slowed his pace.
Although he was confident in his ability to slay a Fifth-Order Magical Beast, that did not mean he intended to go head-to-head with one.
He was a human, and he knew how to use his brain.
Even with absolute certainty, a sneak attack was far superior to a frontal assault.
Moreover, since the situation there remained unclear, hiding and setting an ambush was the perfect course of action.
Relying on his formidable Soul Power and the enhancement of his Golden Finger, Wang Chen easily masked his aura and crept toward his destination.
At this moment, Wang Chen finally caught sight of the situation at his destination.
A massive tiger with a crimson coat was locked in a standoff with a dual-headed snake of equal size.
The tiger was the Fifth-Order Magical Beast that had unleashed the roar earlier—the Crimson Flame Tiger.
The venomous snake it faced was a rare, peak Fourth-Order variant: the Ice-Fire Venom Python.
The Ice-Fire Venom Python possessed two heads, one attuned to the fire element and the other to the ice element.
Individually, the toxins of either element were merely decent.
However, once both toxins struck simultaneously, their power surged exponentially.
Do not be fooled by the fact that the Ice-Fire Venom Python was only a Fourth-Order Magical Beast; if both toxins landed at once, even a Fifth-Order Magical Beast would be left helpless.
It was highly probable that even a Sixth-Order Magical Beast would be crippled by such an attack.
If it was this terrifying to magical beasts, one could only imagine how exaggerated the effect would be on humans.
After all, human cultivators did not possess the robust physical constitutions of magical beasts.
It was precisely for this reason that the Fourth-Order Ice-Fire Venom Python could hold its own against the Fifth-Order Crimson Flame Tiger.
In Wang Chen's field of vision, the Fifth-Order Crimson Flame Tiger had clearly been struck.
Strangely, however, the Crimson Flame Tiger's aura remained at its peak, as if it were completely ignoring the toxins.
Of course, that was certainly impossible.
If it could truly ignore the toxins of the Ice-Fire Venom Python, they would not be in a standoff.
The Fifth-Order Crimson Flame Tiger would have long since shredded the Fourth-Order Ice-Fire Venom Python.
Therefore, there was only one truth.
The Crimson Flame Tiger was relying on something to forcibly suppress the Ice-Fire Double Heaven toxins.
That was the only reason both sides remained in a standoff here.
Since neither was certain they could kill the other, they dared not strike easily, lest they reveal a flaw to their opponent.
It seems I am in for a massive harvest this time!
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen felt wonderful.
Not only was there a Fifth-Order fire-attribute magical beast, but also a special Fourth-Order variant.
These two alone made the trip worthwhile.
The Beast Flame of these two magical beasts would undoubtedly provide Wang Chen with immense assistance.
Especially that Fourth-Order variant, the Ice-Fire Venom Python.
A special Beast Flame could inherit the unique talents of the magical beast.
With this Beast Flame, Wang Chen's future battles would surely be even easier.
If nothing else, poisoning an opponent a full major tier above him would be absolutely no problem.
Furthermore, besides the two Beast Flames, there existed a treasure capable of temporarily suppressing the Ice-Fire Double Heaven toxins.
I am truly lucky this time!
Seeing the situation below, Wang Chen could hardly wait.
However, he did not act rashly, choosing instead to continue observing his surroundings.
He had to ensure there were no other opportunists lurking nearby before he made his move.
Otherwise, he might end up as the mantis stalking the cicada, only to be caught by the oriole behind him.
That would make Wang Chen an absolute idiot!
As a highly qualified veteran schemer, Wang Chen would never give anyone such an opportunity.
Relying on his own concealment methods, Wang Chen shifted and searched the area bit by bit.
He was not only checking for other opportunists but also seeking the most suitable position for a sneak attack.
He had to kill them in one strike, slaying both magical beasts instantly.
Only then could he avoid any complications.
Wang Chen was the type of person who hated surprises the most.
After about two and a half minutes, Wang Chen had scouted the entire perimeter and confirmed there were no other opportunists.
This was to be expected.
After all, this area was already considered the middle of the Magical Beast Mountain Range; ordinary cultivators would not wander into this region without a specific goal.
This incident had happened suddenly, and the range of the energy fluctuations was not large.
Coupled with the initial agitation of the magical beasts, which had been directly suppressed by the Crimson Flame Tiger, everything appeared quite normal.
Naturally, this had not attracted any other potential opportunists.
Once confirmed, Wang Chen stopped waiting and launched his attack.
He crept into the position he had identified as the most suitable for a sneak attack.
Dou Qi and flames began to condense in his hands.
Relying on the concealment of his Soul Power, the fluctuations of his Dou Qi went unnoticed by the two magical beasts below.
The two beasts remained locked in a death stare, each trying to find a flaw in the other to deliver a devastating blow.
As time passed, Wang Chen's attack was ready.
A multicolored fire lotus hovered quietly in his palm.
This was the special Dou Technique Wang Chen had developed.
Indeed, it was a knockoff of Huohuo's Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.
However, since Huohuo had not yet created this technique, it could not truly be called a knockoff.
Wang Chen had calculated the power carefully; a Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus condensed from ten different Beast Flames was certainly powerful enough.
After all, while the power of Beast Flames was inferior to Heavenly Flames, Wang Chen had far more of them than Huohuo.
The power of this Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was naturally no less impressive.
The two magical beasts locked in the standoff below finally took action.
Primarily, the Crimson Flame Tiger prepared to launch an attack.
After all, it had been struck by the Ice-Fire Double Heaven, and even if it had temporarily suppressed it with a special treasure, that only meant it was suppressed.
It did not mean the tiger was healed.
The longer it dragged on, the worse its condition would become.
If it continued to wait, it would surely be the one to die.
It was precisely for this reason that it had become a bit impatient.
"ROAR!!!"
With a furious roar, the Crimson Flame Tiger launched its attack.
A tiger made of flames erupted from its maw, surging toward the Ice-Fire Venom Python.
The Ice-Fire Venom Python did not show weakness, as both heads simultaneously spat out a beam of light.
The crimson fire-attribute beam and the cyan-blue ice-attribute beam fused together in a bizarre fashion as they traveled forward.
"BOOM!!!"
The two attacks collided instantly, erupting with a terrifying roar.
"RUMBLE!!!"
Then, at the very moment the attacks collided, a multicolored fire lotus flew over.
It exploded violently right at the center of their engagement.
A deafening, massive roar erupted at the heart of the conflict.
The two magical beasts, standing not far apart, were directly caught in the shockwave of the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.
Without the slightest surprise, both magical beasts were instantly slain by the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.
