Yun Yun: Extreme Wind, Meteor Kill!

Had anyone learned what Su Tian was thinking, they would probably have wondered whether he had gone mad. He actually wanted to rob Gu He?

Su Tian, however, naturally paid no heed to what others might think.

At that moment, his eyes kept flickering as he carefully considered the feasibility of his plan.

Gu He, Yan Shi, Feng Li...

Su Tian glanced back at the three men steadily closing in behind him. His eyes narrowed, an inscrutable smile curled his lips, and he murmured inwardly.

With my current strength, this almost feels like bullying them. But since these suckers have delivered themselves right to my door, wouldn't I be wasting all this tremendous strength if I did nothing?

In an instant, Su Tian made up his mind.

His current strength as a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor would only last one day. Spending it all running away would be far too wasteful.

Besides, he would need to make careful preparations before devouring the green lotus core flame. Unfortunately, his purse was empty. In Su Tian's eyes, the pursuing Gu He had already become a fat sheep ripe for fleecing.

At that thought, Su Tian almost instinctively slowed his sprint. At the same time, he did not forget to suppress his aura as much as possible, finally keeping it at the level of a Six-Star Da Dou Shi.

Looking back at the three men rapidly closing the distance, Su Tian smiled discreetly, then hastily put on a slightly panicked expression.

His gaze darted about, as though he were terribly afraid of the three men behind him.

Given their strength, Gu He and his companions soon noticed the panic on Su Tian's face and his evasive gaze as they drew closer.

Gu He was briefly startled, but after carefully sensing Su Tian's aura, he immediately felt reassured.

Just a little fellow at the Six-Star Da Dou Shi level.

All three of them were Dou Wang experts. Never mind a mere Six-Star Da Dou Shi-even a Dou Ling expert would have no power to resist them.

In their eyes, if they faced him head-on, a single slap would probably be enough to kill this little fellow outright.

But if they had known the strength Su Tian was hiding, who knew whether they could have maintained that calm confidence?

"Sir, I am Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire. Young friend, please return the heavenly flame in your possession to its rightful owner. Rest assured, as long as the heavenly flame remains intact, I will certainly not let you suffer a loss!"

Wrapped in Dou Qi, his ringing shout resounded like a furious thunderclap across the boundless desert, lingering long afterward.

Hearing Gu He's shout, Su Tian, whose back was turned to them, curled his handsome face into a disdainful expression and grumbled inwardly, Like hell I'd believe you. You rotten old bastard, you're wicked to the core!

Su Tian maintained his reduced speed to keep the three men on his tail, while stealing another glance backward from the corner of his eye.

Gu He's words might have sounded pleasant, but his pursuit only grew more urgent, and the distance between them kept shrinking.

The fish are about to take the bait!

Without answering Gu He, Su Tian merely smiled faintly. A gleam of triumph flashed in his eyes as he made to quicken his steps, looking to the three men as though he were about to speed up and flee.

Before the three men had begun pursuing him, Su Tian had already sensed their auras and dismissed his Dou Qi Wings.

He had traveled almost entirely on foot, and only his deliberate slowing had given them a chance to catch up. Otherwise, had they seen his Dou Qi Wings, they probably would not have pursued him so readily.

In that case, Su Tian's plan would have run aground.

"He's trying to escape!"

Sure enough, the moment Su Tian showed signs of speeding up, Gu He, who had been watching him closely, changed expression. A dark look flashed through his eyes as he shouted.

"Old Shi, Feng Li, faster! Don't let him get away!"

"Hehehe, relax, Old He! If three Dou Wangs like us can't catch a single Six-Star Da Dou Shi, people will laugh their teeth out!"

Hearing this, Yan Shi laughed heartily, thumped his chest, and declared.

Whoosh...

Immediately, Dou Qi surged violently through the three men, and they became three dazzling streaks of light shooting toward Su Tian.

Sensing the three powerful auras rapidly approaching from behind, Su Tian remained calm. A mocking smile curled his lips as he glanced at the green lotus core flame resting on his right palm, and Dou Qi quietly flowed through his body.

"Young friend, please stop for a moment!"

With the three men pursuing at full speed, they caught up to Su Tian within just a few breaths. Accompanied by a hearty laugh, they spread out, subtly surrounding him.

Su Tian did not hurry to attack. He had already adopted a flustered expression and watched the three men warily.

"You... what do you want?"

Already a Six-Star Da Dou Shi at such a young age. This boy has remarkable talent!

Once Gu He clearly saw Su Tian's face, his brows lifted in surprise. He had not expected the person they were pursuing to be a youth who looked only seventeen or eighteen.

"Don't be alarmed, young friend. I am Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire. I mean you no harm. I merely wish to make a trade for the heavenly flame in your hand."

But Gu He had a steady disposition and immediately composed himself. He gave Su Tian a gentle smile, adopting an amiable expression as he watched him closely and spoke softly.

Su Tian frowned deeply and warily surveyed the three men without speaking.

"How about this? Your talent seems quite exceptional. I have ties with the Misty Cloud Sect and could recommend you for admission. If you have a talent for alchemy, you could even become my disciple!"

Unbothered by Su Tian's attitude, Gu He maintained his dignified bearing and coaxed him patiently. "With your talent and my guidance, you would certainly earn a place for yourself even in the Misty Cloud Sect. As for the sect's standing in the Jia Ma Empire, surely I needn't explain that to you?"

"Then status and power would both be within easy reach. What do you think, young friend?"

After saying this, Gu He smiled calmly and watched Su Tian's expression. In his opinion, no young person could possibly refuse the terms he had offered.

All because of the Misty Cloud Sect, that towering colossus of the Jia Ma Empire, and the name of Pill King Gu He.

Becoming a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, and perhaps even receiving personal instruction from Pill King Gu He, would be an enormous temptation to anyone!

"I..."

After listening to Gu He, Su Tian seemed somewhat tempted. His eyes flickered faintly, hesitation crossed his face, and he stammered.

Seeing this, Gu He's eyes immediately brightened, and his smile grew even more radiant.

To Gu He, Su Tian had clearly been moved by the terms he had just offered. Glancing at the cluster of green flame, his heart burned with anticipation.

Heavenly flame, you will belong to me after all!

Excitement filled Gu He's face. He clenched his fists involuntarily, his gaze fixed firmly on the constantly dancing green flame.

Through this deal, Gu He would not only obtain a heavenly flame but also bring an exceptionally talented disciple back to the Misty Cloud Sect. It was a transaction that guaranteed profit without any loss.

What Gu He did not know was that Su Tian had already warmly cursed eight generations of his ancestors in his heart.

Pill King Gu He, my ass! You were so generous when bargaining with the Snake-People Tribe, but now you want to snare a white wolf with your bare hands at my expense!

Su Tian imperceptibly curled his lip and cursed Gu He again.

Anyone else might have considered Gu He's persuasion a tremendous opportunity. To Su Tian, however, he was clearly just painting a grand pie he had no intention of serving.

Calling it a trade made it sound nice.

Yet Gu He would not have to give up anything. He could easily obtain the heavenly flame and even expected Su Tian to feel profoundly grateful to him.

He wants every last benefit for himself. What kind of daydream is that?

Su Tian spat inwardly and cursed, As if I care about your lousy opportunity! The damned Misty Cloud Sect will be torn apart within three years. Who would want to go there?

You really think you're something special, don't you? Pill King Gu He? Sooner or later, I'll surpass you in alchemy. Even Xiao Yan is better than you!

Naturally, Su Tian would not say any of this aloud.

In Gu He's eyes, Su Tian seemed to be considering his offer, apparently no longer paying attention to them.

Seeing this, Gu He exchanged glances with Yan Shi and Feng Li. All three secretly locked onto Su Tian's aura, guarding against his every movement to prevent any mishap.

After all, if Su Tian detonated the heavenly flame, even the three of them would be unable to withstand its violent power.

"Young friend, have you made your decision?"

After a brief silence, Gu He looked at the seemingly contemplative Su Tian with a kindly expression and asked with a faint smile.

Raising his head, Su Tian adopted an innocent, guileless expression. He looked at the expectant Gu He, pursed his lips, and asked, "May I add another condition?"

"Certainly."

Gu He considered it briefly, then nodded without hesitation.

Hearing this, Su Tian broke into a radiant smile, revealing a row of white teeth. But his next words immediately darkened all three men's expressions.

"Master Gu He, could you give me your Storage Ring?"

Boom...

If you encounter advertisements such as "Are you a real person?", simply ignore and close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!

Boom...

Boom...

Those casually spoken words instantly caused all three men's auras to erupt, whipping up three powerful whirlwinds of energy.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

The kindly smile on Gu He's face had vanished. His expression was as dark as ink as he stared coldly at Su Tian and spoke in an icy voice.

Yan Shi and Feng Li also blocked Su Tian's retreat, watching him with hostile eyes. They seemed unable to believe what he had just said, traces of astonishment still lingering on their faces.

"Did I hear that right? Is this brat trying to rob Old He?"

"That seems to be what he means. Has he gone mad?"

Feng Li gave Su Tian a strange look, still struggling to process it.

In his eyes, Su Tian was merely a Six-Star Da Dou Shi. Where had he found the confidence to rob Pill King Gu He in front of three Dou Wang experts?

"I said, I want your Storage Ring."

Su Tian's expression remained unchanged. He nodded earnestly, looked Gu He in the eyes, and repeated his words.

Boom...

"You're courting death!"

With his status and standing, when had Gu He ever suffered such provocation? And from a junior at the Six-Star Da Dou Shi level, no less. He could no longer tolerate it.

Since persuasion had failed, he would simply seize the heavenly flame by force!

"Old Shi, Feng Li, attack together!"

Gu He barked the order. Yan Shi and Feng Li hesitated briefly, then exchanged a glance. Disregarding their dignity as Dou Wang experts, they launched forceful attacks at Su Tian.

Seeing this, Su Tian showed not the slightest panic on his handsome face. He merely shook his head gently, a mocking smile curling his lips as he said softly, "So these are Dou Wang experts? It takes all three of you to deal with a mere Da Dou Shi like me?"

"Since you've thrown away all your dignity, I'll play with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an aura stronger than those of all three men combined erupted from Su Tian's body.

Boom...

Even the sky seemed to churn with a fierce, invisible vortex beneath that tremendous aura, leaving the three men struggling to control their movements.

Su Tian stood right before their eyes, yet they could not advance another step, as though an invisible barrier stood in their way.

"This aura..."

"A Nine-Star Dou Emperor!"

Feeling the terrifying aura erupting from Su Tian, all three men's expressions changed drastically. Their eyes filled with disbelief as they exchanged glances, seeing profound shock on one another's faces, and cried out involuntarily.

"How is this possible? At his age, how could he be a Nine-Star Dou Emperor?"

Gu He's pupils contracted sharply. Unable to believe what was happening before him, he clenched his fists and murmured in shock.

He knew perfectly well how difficult it was to reach the Nine-Star Dou Emperor level. But Su Tian was only seventeen or eighteen. How could he possess such formidable strength?

A moment ago, Su Tian had been a sheep in Gu He's eyes. Now, he had transformed into a peerless savage beast, leaving Gu He feeling utterly powerless to resist.

A profound sense of helplessness rose from the depths of Gu He's heart.

"It's all fake! Old Shi, Feng Li, attack!"

Feeling the pressure around them growing ever heavier, Gu He dared not hesitate any longer. He barked at Yan Shi and Feng Li, intending to forcefully break through Su Tian's oppressive aura.

"Blue Flame Engulfs the Sky!"

With Gu He's shout, pale blue flames instantly surged from his body, gathering into a gigantic fist before him and smashing furiously toward Su Tian.

Yan Shi and Feng Li did not hesitate either, immediately unleashing their respective trump cards.

"Frenzied Lion Devours the Sky!"

"Wind Blade Pear Blossom Rain!"

In an instant, a gigantic yellow lion formed in midair and let out a deafening roar. Countless green wind blades swept around it, like an endless rain of pear blossoms shrouding heaven and earth.

Rumble...

The three powerful Dou Techniques rushed toward Su Tian from three different directions in an instant, effectively sealing every path of retreat.

Even so, Su Tian remained calm.

Instead, the mockery in his eyes only deepened, as though he were laughing at their failure to recognize their own limits.

"In that case, it seems I'll have to take it myself!"

Murmuring softly, Su Tian clenched his right fist and slowly raised it. The vast Dou Qi within him surged outward, completing eight compressions in a single instant-something he had never managed before.

The next moment, the compressed Dou Qi traveled along a specific route through his meridians and gathered over his right fist, where blazing red Dou Qi rose.

Then, under the three men's gazes, a massive Scarlet Flame Dragon Head appeared over Su Tian's right fist. Its eyes were crimson, seemingly imbued with supreme draconic might.

Roar!

With a dragon's roar that shook heaven and earth, Su Tian abruptly raised his right fist and stamped hard against the ground. He sprang upward, Dou Qi Wings suddenly unfurling behind him as he hovered in midair.

Looking down at the three men on the ground, Su Tian smiled faintly and drove his right fist downward, shouting inwardly.

Army-Breaking Dragon Fist!

In an instant, the massive Scarlet Flame Dragon Head left Su Tian's right fist and swelled against the wind. In the blink of an eye, he became a Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon even larger than the gigantic fist and lion.

At the same time, searing heat radiated from the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon's body, scorching even the air into a parched haze.

Boom...

Seeing the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon descending from the sky, all three men's expressions changed drastically. An intense unease surged from the depths of their hearts.

"Stop him!"

Gu He shouted and hastily directed his gigantic blue-flame fist to strike the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon. Beside him, Yan Shi and Feng Li likewise controlled their attacks without hesitation, desperately trying to block the ferociously approaching dragon.

Yet to Su Tian, this only deepened his mockery. "Nothing but a desperate last stand."

As Su Tian's words fell, the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon charged irresistibly onward, paying no heed to the blue-flame fist, gigantic lion, or wind blades. In an instant, they collided violently.

Rumble...

A tremendous explosion shook heaven and earth. Dust and smoke filled the air, and bursts of scorching flame shot in every direction.

But in the next moment, the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon burst through the billowing smoke and charged straight at the three men, who had no time whatsoever to react.

Everything had happened too suddenly. If the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon struck them, they would suffer grievous injuries even if they survived.

"Damn you! I'll risk it all!"

Just as Gu He gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing through his eyes as he prepared to stake everything on one final attempt, a cool voice suddenly rang out.

"Retreat at once! Leave this to me!"

Gu He froze, then hurriedly looked over. At some unknown point, Yun Yun had arrived, clad in a black robe.

"But..."

"Now is no time to hesitate. The Snake-People Tribe's experts will catch up any moment. Retreat first. Once I've dealt with him, I'll meet you at the agreed location!"

Before Gu He could finish speaking, a note of urgency crept into Yun Yun's cool voice.

Gu He fell silent. He could sense how dire the situation had become.

"All right! We'll wait for you at the agreed meeting place. This man is extremely strange, so be careful! Old Lion, Feng Li, let's go!"

With that, Gu He hesitated no longer. He gave Yun Yun a long, searching look, then beckoned to Yan Shi and Feng Li. The three wasted no time, shooting off into the distance.

At that moment, Gu He could no longer spare a thought for the Heavenly Flames. He could only pin his last hope on Yun Yun.

If they stayed any longer, they would only get in Yun Yun's way.

All this took longer to describe than it did to happen; it unfolded in an exceedingly short span of time.

As the Scarlet Flame Giant Dragon thundered toward her, Yun Yun raised her head, a trace of solemnity in her beautiful eyes. Her red lips parted slightly as she drew a deep breath, then called out softly.

"Extreme Wind, Meteor Kill!"
