Volcanic Rock Flame Emerges

Yun Yun swooped down, her longsword gleaming with fierce Wind-Attribute Battle Qi, and slashed towards Latad's side.

The blade sliced through the volcanic rock armor covering Latad's body, sending fragments of rock flying.

Yun Yun flicked her wrist and unleashed another horizontal slash with her sword. The wind blade exploded against the surface of the stone armor, sending off a large amount of debris.

But that's where it ends.

Latad's outermost layer of thick volcanic rock armor withstood her continuous attacks.

Yun Yun's expression remained unchanged; it was expected that her first probing attack would fail to penetrate the opponent's defenses.

Just as she was about to create some distance and find a new angle, Latad moved.

The deformed, enormous hand raised the giant sword and plunged it fiercely into the lava beneath it.

The ground of the entire mountain pass suddenly trembled, and scorching magma flowed upstream along the sword, condensing into a dark red flame sword aura nearly ten meters long on the surface of the blade.

Latad let out a deep roar, gripped his sword and swept it horizontally, the fiery sword energy carrying a scorching wave of air slashing towards Yun Yun.

Yun Yun touched the air with her toes, and her figure drifted backward like a willow catkin in the wind.

The fiery sword energy grazed the edge of her robe, leaving a scorch mark on her Dou Qi shield and nearly burning her robe to ashes.

But Latad gave her no chance to catch her breath.

As soon as the giant sword swept past, the magma beneath it exploded again, with dozens of pillars of lava shooting out from different directions, compressing Yun Yun's space to dodge layer by layer.

While dodging, Yun Yun seized the opportunity to counterattack, the wind blades on her sword constantly striking Latad's face and joints.

She remembered Qin Yu's instructions: avoid confrontation for now, but don't let Latad's attention be diverted from her.

And Latad was indeed not distracted.

Its vertical pupils were fixed on Yun Yun's figure, and the greatsword and magma worked together more and more fiercely, each swing carrying the majestic momentum of a volcanic eruption.

Qin Yu hovered above the mountain pass, his eyes tightly closed.

His Soul Power penetrated through layers of scorching rock, spreading downwards.

Deep within the Gemer Volcano, the Earth Vein's veins are like a vast spider web, crisscrossing and flowing with magma underground.

Deeper still, a completely different aura of fire was lurking.

That aura was even more violent than the Green Lotus Core Flame, carrying the destructive feeling unique to volcanic eruptions.

The Volcanic Rock Flame were indeed located at the deepest part of this volcano.

But Qin Yu didn't have time to deal with it for the time being. He calmed his mind and infused his Soul Power into the Earth Vein.

Inside the mountain pass, Latad grew increasingly impatient with each battle.

It originally thought that with the power of the volcano, dealing with a Five-Star Dou Emperor would be a piece of cake.

But this woman was too agile; every time she was about to be swallowed by the lava, she managed to slip away at the last moment.

"Roar--!"

Latad let out a furious roar, and the magma beneath him suddenly exploded, with hundreds of skulls burning with dark red flames slowly rising from the magma.

Flames of karmic retribution flickered in the empty eye sockets of the skull, and a sharp, piercing hiss came from the opening and closing of its jaw.

As soon as these vengeful skeletons appeared, they began to swarm towards Yun Yun in an unpredictable trajectory.

Latad himself stood with his sword drawn, blocking Yun Yun's retreat, his ferocious vertical pupils filled with mockery.

Either confront those vengeful spirits head-on, or face me directly. Choose one.

Yun Yun's expression finally turned serious. The Wind-Attribute Battle Qi around her accelerated its rotation, forming a high-speed airflow shield on her body.

The shrieks of those vengeful spirits made her temples throb with pain, but she believed Qin Yu wouldn't lie to her.

Seeing Yun Yun trapped, Latad's smile grew even more ferocious.

It raised its giant sword, and the blade once again condensed scorching magma sword energy, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Yun Yun.

Suddenly, the vengeful skeletons floating in the air stopped.

The dark red flames on the skull's surface quickly dimmed, like oil lamps being extinguished, hanging motionless in mid-air.

Latad's smile froze on its face. It tried to use its power to manipulate the vengeful spirits to continue the attack, but the skeletons remained motionless.

It then tried to move the magma beneath its feet, only to find that the magma's flow had become slow and stagnant.

Latad finally realized something was wrong; his connection to the immense power deep within the core of Gemer Volcano had been severed.

It was cut off cleanly and completely.

Now, it has transformed from the ruler of the Gemer Volcano into an ordinary human-snake hybrid.

"?!"

Latad let out a roar of shock and anger, attempting to re-establish contact with the Gemer Volcano.

But no matter how much it urged the Soul Power, all it received in response was an empty silence.

It's like a house that's been lived in for decades, suddenly having its locks changed, and the house itself becomes the one standing outside the door.

The next second, the thick layer of volcanic rock armor covering Latad's body began to crumble inch by inch.

The gravel cascaded down, revealing a fragile, grayish-black body covered in fine scales.

Seeing this, Yun Yun's lips curled up slightly, and she raised the long sword in her hand, pointing the tip at Latad's ugly head.

"Latad, from this moment on, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!"

The wind blades pierced through the air, and Latad hurriedly raised his sword to block, but without the power of the volcano, even the fiery sword energy on his greatsword dimmed considerably.

After being struck, Latad's massive serpentine body quickly shrank back, and terror finally appeared in its vertical pupils.

It roared, and the Snake People in the Volcano Fortress immediately became agitated, with three Snake People at the Dou Wang level quickly coming to their aid.

However, before they even entered the mountain pass, they were blocked by a figure.

"Hiss..."

These Snake People couldn't speak, they could only keep hissing, which made Qin Yu's ears hurt.

"What are you babbling about? Take this!"

Qin Yu didn't want to listen to the hissing of the Snake People any longer, so he raised his right hand and directly summoned the lava from the mountain pass.

Latad, who was being chased and hacked at by Yun Yun, was taken aback when he saw this.

Why does Qin Yu's move seem so familiar?

Oh no, there's a cow!

"Extreme Wind - Meteor Kill!"

In the instant that Latad was stunned, Yun Yun seized the opportunity and thrust out with her sword.

The fierce Wind-Attribute Battle Qi was compressed to the thickness of a pinhole, instantly piercing through the massive body that Latad was entrenched in!

Latad screamed in agony as his greatsword fell into the lava.

But his screams stopped there.

The next second, Yun Yun thrust her longsword out again, piercing the human face on the Latad snake's body right through its mouth.

Then Yun Yun twisted her wrist and slashed horizontally, severing Latad's enormous snake head!

At the same time, Qin Yu used the power of the Gemer Volcano to easily kill the three Snake People at the Dou Wang level.

"Call..."

Just as Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief, Latad's severed head suddenly opened its eyes and spewed a jet of blood straight at Yun Yun!
