Peak Dou King

A dark red jet of blood, carrying a foul stench, shot straight toward Yun Yun's face.

The blood arrows were incredibly fast, wreathed in visible corrosive black gas, sizzling as they passed.

Yun Yun had just unleashed a series of powerful attacks to kill Latad, and her internal Dou Qi was in a brief vacuum, leaving her no time to dodge.

Just before the blood arrow was about to touch her face, a curtain of lava suddenly appeared from the side, precisely blocking her from the blood arrow.

"Laugh--"

The blood arrow made a piercing corrosive sound the moment it struck the lava curtain, and charred marks quickly appeared on the surface of the curtain.

At the same time, an arm wrapped around Yun Yun's waist, carrying her several feet to the side, away from the range of the blood arrows.

The next second, the blood arrow pierced through the corroded and riddled lava curtain, and continued its powerful impact against the side of the mountain wall.

On the brown rock face, a dark red patch quickly appeared where the blood arrow had struck, as if some living thing was gnawing at the rock itself.

The markings spread outwards at a visible speed, and wherever they passed, the rock walls quickly softened and collapsed, turning into pools of viscous black liquid that flowed down the mountainside.

In just a few breaths, a huge gap was eroded in the wall of the Gemer Volcano, revealing the gray-white sky outside.

As Yun Yun stared at the gap, cold sweat belatedly broke out on her back.

If that blow had hit her, she wouldn't even have been left with a complete corpse!

Even with Latad's head chopped off, he could still launch such an attack...

"Smack."

With a crisp flick, Qin Yu withdrew his finger from her forehead and said irritably:

"I just blocked it for you, why didn't you dodge? If I hadn't acted quickly, you'd be dead by now."

Yun Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say that she couldn't circulate her Dou Qi at the time, and that she didn't intentionally not dodge, but she swallowed the words back.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly reached out and hugged Qin Yu tightly.

Those soft breasts pressed tightly against Qin Yu's chest through his half-burnt robes, and Qin Yu instantly fell silent, all the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

Since things have come to this, what else is there to say?

Yun Yun's figure was already voluptuous and graceful, and her robes had been burned with several holes by the high temperature in the previous battle, revealing her fair skin.

Below the tear on her left shoulder was a smooth collarbone, and a long rip in the right hem of her skirt exposed her long, straight legs to the air.

Her hair bun was also blown apart in the battle, and her long hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders, making her look like a battle-damaged version.

After hugging for a while, Yun Yun's breathing gradually calmed down.

She suddenly realized that the distance between them seemed a little too intimate, and a blush instantly spread from her ears to her neck. She quickly let go of his arm and took half a step back.

"... You, weren't you supposed to be getting down to business? Latad is dead, you can begin."

She turned her head to the side, pretending to look at the large hole corroded by the blood arrow.

Qin Yu didn't expose her embarrassment. He simply pinched Yun Yun's slightly disheveled cheek as he passed by, then turned to face the inside of the volcano.

He slowly raised his hands, his fingers loosely clenched, and the entire Gemer Volcano shuddered violently.

A deep rumbling sound came from the depths of the earth, as if something ancient was awakening.

The magma inside the mountain pass began to surge violently, the dark red liquid surface bulged continuously, and thick columns of magma gushed out from the depths.

The temperature of the entire mountain began to rise sharply, and even the air seemed to become distorted.

A wave of heat swept in, causing the rock surface to glow with a faint reddish light.

As the temperature continued to rise, Yun Yun couldn't help but furrow her brow.

She was, after all, Five-Star Dou Emperor, and even though she had just gone through a battle, the ordinary high temperature couldn't do anything to her.

But the temperature inside the volcano was rising too rapidly, reaching a level that she needed to use her Dou Qi aura to protect herself from in just a few breaths.

Moreover, the upward trend in temperature shows no signs of slowing down and continues to soar.

She took a few steps back, creating some distance, and her gaze fell on Qin Yu.

He hovered directly above the mountain pass, his robes fluttering in the heat, yet not a single bead of sweat could be seen on his face.

Looking at his posture, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Just how many secrets does this guy still have?

Just as she was lost in thought, the churning lava pool in the center of the crater suddenly quieted down, and the entire volcano fell into a brief silence.

A moment later, a cluster of dark red flames appeared out of thin air directly above the lava pool.

The flame was only the size of a fist, floating lightly in mid-air.

But the moment it appeared, it seemed to absorb all the scorching heat of the entire volcano, and the shape and size of the flames began to change gradually.

Yun Yun held her breath and quietly watched the cluster of flames grow larger and larger, eventually forming a ball of fire shaped like a mountain rock.

The moment the flame appeared, the surrounding high temperature quickly subsided, but Yun Yun was already drenched in sweat.

"This is..."

She came to Qin Yu's side and watched the flame with him.

Is this the treasure that Qin Yu was willing to spend months searching for?

Judging by this, could it be Heavenly Flames?

But Qin Yu already has one Heavenly Flames, doesn't he? Does he intend to absorb two Heavenly Flames at the same time?

"Fire... Hey, did you just take a shower?"

Qin Yu was about to say that it was Volcanic Rock Flame when he turned his head and suddenly realized that Yun Yun looked as if she had just walked out of a bathhouse.

"You just went to take a shower! Who knew this thing would make the surrounding temperature so high?"

"Is it high? I don't think so."

"Uh... okay, never mind."

I almost forgot, he has the blessing of the Earth Sovereign, while Yun Yun doesn't.

The Volcanic Rock Flame were close to him, but not to Yun Yun.

"Is this Heavenly Flames?"

"Hmm, the seventeenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the Volcanic Rock Flame."

Looking at the dark red flame in front of him, Qin Yu's breathing became slightly heavier.

He could feel the goodwill that the Volcanic Rock Flame were sending towards him, just like the Green Lotus Core Flame had done before.

Qin Yu stretched out his finger, wanting to gently touch the Volcanic Rock Flame.

"Watch out!"

Yun Yun exclaimed in surprise and instinctively grabbed Qin Yu's hand.

"Don't worry, I can get it out, and I can also make sure it doesn't hurt me."

Faced with Qin Yu's resolute gaze, Yun Yun slowly released his hand, but her eyes remained fixed on his movements.

The moment his fingers touched the Volcanic Rock Flame, Qin Yu's body suddenly stiffened.
