I Feel So Hot, Like I'm About to Burn Up...

Su Chen and his group rushed out of the East Gate and sped along the winding, desolate mountain road towards Red Iron Ridge, a hundred miles to the southeast.

To avoid being seen or heard on the Official Road, the group turned off halfway down the treacherous shortcut through the Soul-Breaking Ravine.

A landslide occurred ahead, and nearly a hundred feet of the original plank road that could accommodate warhorses collapsed, with a bottomless, rushing ravine below.

The five hundred riders had no choice but to abandon their horses and use their Flying God Claw to climb the cliff face and cross the ravine.

Qian Renxue spread her angel wings and, with Ning Rongrong, Support System, flew across the cliff first. Dugu Bo, transformed into Jade Phosphorous Serpent shadow, followed closely behind. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing used the protruding rocks to leap across the cliff in a few bounds.

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, both skilled in Control System, remained at the edge of the cliff.

Neither of them were agile attacking Soul Master skilled at crossing hundred-zhang chasms. Just as they were about to activate their Martial Soul to force their way across, Su Chen beside them unfurled his six-zhang-wide dragon wings.

"The mountain wind is too strong, don't waste your Soul Power, hold on to me tightly."

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, he reached out his arms without giving a chance to say anything more, embraced Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu's slender and soft waists, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky, crossing the hundred-foot-deep ravine!

The sudden feeling of weightlessness caused both women to gasp softly at the same time.

After their intimate moments in the hot spring last night, Shui Bing'er had already given herself to Su Chen, body and soul.

She blushed for only a moment before obediently wrapping her arms around Su Chen's neck, pressing her flushed face against his left chest, close to the Taiyin Mystic Ice Dragon Qi emanating from his left wing, and softly saying:

"Fly slowly, be careful not to overexert yourself."

On the right, Huo Wu, held tightly in Su Chen's iron grip, was as stiff as a stone.

Her dark gold leather short nails were very short at the hem, and Su Chen's hot, large palm was right on the half-inch of snow-white skin exposed on her side.

Huo Wu's ears turned so red they were almost bleeding. She was about to tell Su Chen to let go when she turned her head and caught sight of Shui Bing'er, who was nestled tightly in Su Chen on her left.

As fellow captains of the elite Northern Five Elements Academy, Huo Wu was most dissatisfied with Shui Bing'er.

Seeing Shui Bing'er so naturally and intimately close, a strange competitive spirit instantly overwhelmed his shyness.

Huo Wu gritted her teeth, her full and firm chest pressing against Su Chen's right pectoral muscle through her thin short armor, while the Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire flowing from Su Chen's right wing baked her Meridians at close range.

Shui Bing'er sensed Huo Wu's subtle competition beside her, glanced at her with her clear, beautiful eyes, and quietly tightened her grip on Su Chen's neck.

Two exquisitely beautiful bodies, one cold and one hot, were pressed tightly against his arms, one on his left and one on his right, their fragrance filling the air.

Su Chen glanced down at the two women in his arms, who were secretly competing with each other, a smile flashing in his eyes. He accelerated across the cliff and landed steadily on the mountain path on the opposite bank.

As soon as they landed, Huo Wu quickly let go of Su Chen's hand and took a half step back like a startled rabbit, bowing her head to tidy up her wristband, which was not messy. Shui Bing'er, on the other hand, gracefully straightened Su Chen's collar, which had been ruffled by the mountain wind, making Huo Wu bite her lip as she watched.

"The main mineral vein of Red Iron Ridge is just ten miles ahead, quicken your pace!"

Su Chen waved his hand, and everyone focused their attention, transforming into several afterimages as they headed straight for the southeast valley.

At this moment, the area surrounding the Red Iron Ridge Mine was filled with deafening shouts of battle and billowing smoke.

This sturdy mining city, built against the mountain, is the core source of iron for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School to forge weapons, armor, and the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

At this moment, on the flat ground of the canyon outside the mining city, five thousand armored rebels bearing the banner of the border garrison of the Silves Kingdom were lined up in a square formation, pushing more than ten heavy iron-clad battering rams and frantically ramming the crumbling bronze gate of the mining city.

In front of the city gate, two colossal figures, each ten meters tall and covered in gray-white rhomboid crystals, roared to the sky— the Diamond Mammoth, the Martial Soul of the Elephant Armor Sect, ranked sixth among the Lower Four Sects!

The two elders of the Elephant Armor Sect who had activated their Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, were the younger brother and cousin of the Elephant Armor Sect master, Huyan Zhen: Huyan Lie, a level 76 Defense System Battle Soul Saint, and Huyan Meng, a level 74 Battle Soul Saint!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two ten-meter-tall Diamond Mammoth raised their massive elephant hooves, as thick as palace pillars, and unleashed a torrent of earth-attribute Soul Power —two yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Ring —stomping repeatedly on the protective soul-guiding array's light barrier of the mining city!

On the city wall, the Six-Ring Soul Emperor Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, responsible for guarding the iron mine, was covered in blood, his left arm broken at the shoulder, and more than half of the three hundred guards around him had been killed or wounded.

The once thick, azure-colored protective barrier was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks after being repeatedly trampled by the two Diamond Mammoth, and it could collapse completely at any moment!

"Hahahaha! Zhao, don't waste your energy! Glazed Tile City is barely able to protect itself, Ning Fengzhi would never dare to send Titled Douluo to save you!"

Huyan Lie Huyan Lie, booming laughter that echoed across the land, "Once I've flattened this Red Iron Ridge, the entire mine's Cold Heart Iron Essence will be divided equally between my Elephant Armor Sect and the Silves Kingdom! With a final push, we'll leave no one alive after we breach the city!"

Five thousand Silves rebels let out a greedy wolf howl, and their attack became increasingly fierce.

Click--!

As Huyan Lie and Huyan Meng simultaneously activated their sixth Soul Skill, "Mammoth Mountain-Crushing Stomp," the last three soul guidance array bases on the city wall exploded, and the protective light curtain enveloping the mining city shattered into countless points of light!

"It's over... it's all over!" The one-armed leader of the city wall collapsed to the ground in despair.

Just as Huyan Meng raised his right hoof, preparing to kick down the bronze city gate of Red Iron Ridge,

"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass!"

A clear and melodious shout suddenly rang out from the north ridge!

Twenty-four dazzling nine-colored divine lights poured down from mid-air, accurately penetrating the bodies of several figures that were rushing down from the mountain ridge!

With Ning Rongrong's terrifying 40% boost to all attributes, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu charged forward side by side!

"Huo Wu, do you dare to have a contest to see who can clear out more trash?" Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent as she unleashed her full level 44 Soul Power.

"Let's compete! Who's afraid of who!"

With Huo Wu sharp cry, Huo Wu's crimson-gold Fire Shadow Martial Soul, purified by Su Chen, surged forth from her body!

The two of them cut into the vanguard of the five thousand Silves rebels from the left and right. Shui Bing'er's first and Second Soul Ring lit up simultaneously, and the Ice Phoenix, imprinted with dark gold dragon patterns after her transformation, spread its wings and let out a low cry:

"First Soul Skill: Ice Seal! Second Soul Skill: Ice Ring Armor!"

The biting cold wave instantly spread along the damp mine ground. The five hundred Silves heavy infantrymen who were at the forefront of pushing the battering ram didn't even have time to react before their lower bodies, along with their heavy iron armor, were frozen to the ground!

"Well done! Watch this—fourth Soul Skill, Huo Wu's Blazing Sun!!"

Huo Wu followed closely behind, leaping into the air, her fourth purple Soul Ring shining brightly! A blazing fireball, over five meters in diameter and radiating crimson-gold ancestral dragon fire at its core, roared into the densely Ice Seal rebel army!

Boom--!!!!

The heavy iron armor, frozen solid by extreme cold, suddenly encountered the raging heat of pure Yang, and the extreme temperature difference between ice and fire instantly triggered a terrifying chain reaction of explosions!

Five hundred elite Silves rebels, along with five heavy rams, were blown to pieces amidst a deafening explosion of ice and fire!

With just one round of combined ice and fire attacks, the rebel vanguard was torn open with a bloody gash thirty feet long!

At the same time, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing transformed into two deadly afterimages and plunged into the rebel archer camp. Five hundred Seven Treasures Riders followed suit and attacked, instantly reversing the tide of battle!

"Who dares to ruin the good deeds of my Elephant Armor Sect?!"

Huyan Lie and Huyan Meng and anger.

When they saw Su Chen slowly retract his 50,000-year-old dark gold dragon wings in mid-air and land in front of the formation with his hands behind his back, a look of horror flashed in the two brothers' huge, bell-like eyes at the same time, which then turned into a ferocious light!

"The entire Fifth Ring Road is black... It's that little bastard Su Chen!"

Huyan Meng, at level 74, recognized Su Chen's signature Soul Ring and snarled, "Big brother, big brother, look! Chen Xin and Gu Rong aren't here! Let's join forces and crush him into mincemeat!"

High in the sky, just as Dugu Bo, a level 92 Soul Douluo, was about to make a move, an 82-year-old black-robed Soul Douluo from the Silves rebel army joined forces with four Six-Ring Soul Emperor to form a battle formation and relentlessly pursue them. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue swung her sword to intercept two other Silves Soul Saint who were attempting to ambush Ning Rongrong.

In the arena, only Su Chen remained, facing the two ten-meter-tall, seven-ringed Diamond Mammoth statues!

"Alright! Elephant Armor Sect Combined Attack Technique - Twin Elephants' Heaven-Shattering Stomp!!"

Huyan Lie, level 76, and Huyan Meng, level 74, roared in unison, and the two Diamond Mammoth, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, charged side by side!

The earth trembled violently under their iron hooves, and the half-foot-thick gray-white diamond-shaped armor on their bodies burst forth with dazzling yellow light, like two high-speed moving diamond mountains, crashing down on Su Chen from the left and right!

"Su Chen, be careful! The Diamond Mammoth True Body of the Elephant Armor Sect has extremely strong defense. Don't try to fight it head-on!" Huo Wu, who had just Huo Wu away a group of rebels, turned pale upon seeing this and shouted urgently.

"A bunch of stupid pigs wearing stone shells?"

Su Chen's eyes flashed with divine light, and he transformed into a spinning red, blue, and dark gold meteor, crashing directly into the gap between the two ten-meter Diamond Mammoth!

The Taiyin Mystic Ice Dragon Qi on the left wing transformed into a ten-thousand-year-old icy blade, Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire on the right wing transformed into a heaven-burning golden flame!

The two extreme laws of ice and fire frantically merged and compressed on the edge of the 50,000-year-old Dark Dragon Emperor Wings, and Huyan Lie a cross-shaped reverse slash at the Diamond Mammoth true forms of Huyan Lie and Huyan Meng on both sides!

First, the extreme cold ice instantly froze the indestructible diamond shell into something as brittle as thin ice. Then, the Pure Yang Dragon Fire, which was extremely strong and Zhiyang, and the sharp edge of the fifty-thousand-year-old dragon wing slammed into it!

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul Avatar, which was said to be unbreakable by anyone below the Soul Douluo, turned out to be as fragile as two pieces of tofu!

A shower of blood-stained, grayish-white diamond fragments exploded!

With a single wing strike, the two Seven-Ring Soul Sage True Bodies of the Elephant Armor Sect suffered severe injuries: one lost an arm, and the other was critically wounded and on the verge of death!

[Ding! The 50,000-year-old Ice-Fire Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor Wings shattered the true forms of the two Soul Saint, Elephant Armor Sect Diamond Mammoth Sect, severely dampening the arrogance of the Lower Four Sects! Triggered Heavenly Fate Critical Hit reward: Physical Golden Body strength increased by 20%, and a Seven-Thousand-Year Soul Ring Age Increase Card obtained!]

"A devil... he's a devil!! Run away!!"

Seeing that even the two Soul Saint of the Elephant Armor Sect, who were impervious to swords and spears, were crippled by Su Chen in a single move, the five thousand Silves rebels were terrified and collapsed instantly!

High in the sky, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and Qian Renxue seized the opportunity to strike, their Azure Phosphorus Poison intertwining with the Angelic Holy Sword, instantly killing the level 82 Silves, the honored guest, and the two accompanying Soul Saints!

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er led five hundred Seven Treasures Riders and the mining city garrison that rushed out of the city gate in a relentless pursuit, slaughtering the fleeing rebels and leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield.

Half an hour later, the fighting on the outskirts of Red Iron Ridge subsided, and the remaining two thousand-plus rebels all knelt down and surrendered.

The gates of Red Iron Ridge Mining City swung open, and Zhao, the one-armed Hall Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, rushed out, supported by his subordinates. He knelt on one knee before Su Chen, tears streaming down his face with emotion.

"Your subordinate, Zhao Tieshan, kowtows to thank Master Su Chen for saving our lives! If it weren't for your divine intervention, my three hundred brothers of Red Iron Ridge and this large iron mine would have fallen into the hands of thieves today!"

Su Chen helped him up and instructed, "Hall Master Zhao, no need for formalities. Immediately have the army medic left by Ye Lingling bandage you and the wounded. Lock those two cripples, Huyan Lie and Huyan Meng, in heavy iron cages and confiscate all their Storage Soul Tool."

"Yes! Don't worry, son-in-law!"

Zhao Tieshan readily agreed, then, as if remembering something, he quickly lowered his voice and pointed to a heavily guarded stone gate deep within the mine, as if presenting a treasure. "I have something else to report! Half a month ago, while excavating the ' Cold Heart Iron Essence ' vein at the deepest part of Red Iron Ridge, we accidentally unearthed a natural underground Crimson Sun Fire Vein! At the center of that fire vein, a rare ' Thousand-Year Scarlet Yang Fire Essence ' has condensed, perfectly suited for fire-attribute Soul Master to cultivate. I humbly request that you, my lord, move to the secret chamber of the underground fire vein to rest and take that fire essence!"

Upon hearing the words "underground Crimson Sun Fire Vein" and "Thousand-Year Scarlet Yang Fire Essence," Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned to look at Huo Wu beside him.

Just at this moment--

"Hmm..."

A suppressed, shy moan suddenly escaped from Huo Wu's lips.

Huo Wu felt as if her blood was boiling. Her fair and slender neck, cheeks, and even the large expanse of snow-white skin exposed by her short nails were instantly tinged with an alluring blush. Sweat poured down her face, and her legs became as weak as noodles, making it impossible for her to stand up. She cried out in surprise and collapsed to the side!

With lightning speed, Su Chen stepped forward and caught Huo Wu's Huo Wu and alluring body in his arms.

"Su Chen... I... I feel so hot... The fire you gave me... it's about to catch fire..."

Huo Wu slumped in Su Chen, her eyes glazed and unfocused, her burning little hands unconsciously gripping Su Chen's shirt tightly.

Shui Bing'er, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong gathered around, and were all shocked to see what they saw.

Shui Bing'er reached out and touched Huo Wu's burning forehead, saying urgently, "Su Chen, the Pure Yang Core Flame within her body has been ignited by the underground fire vein!"

"Master Zhao, Qian Renxue, you two stay outside to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners. No one is allowed to approach the underground stone door!"

Su Chen decisively gave the order, scooped up Huo Wu, who was Huo Wu and trembling, with his right arm, and strode into the tunnel deep inside the Red Iron Ridge mine.
