One Versus Two

Chapter 38: Two Against One

Chen Xuan shot toward the hidden figure with astonishing momentum.

The person, who had been planning a quiet infiltration into the city center, was startled the moment they sensed Chen Xuan approaching.

"Teacher, what do we do?" a black-robed youth asked, his expression grave.

In front of a Dou Huang expert, he was completely outmatched.

"The opponent is an Eight-star Dou Huang. I'll have to step in," an aged voice resounded within the youth's body.

Hearing this, the black-robed youth could only relinquish control of his body to his teacher.

With a sudden boom, the black-robed youth, whose aura had been weak moments before, transformed completely.

The aura emanating from him had now reached the Dou Huang level.

"Hmm?" Chen Xuan furrowed his brows.

He hadn't expected another Dou Huang expert to be hidden here.

Purple flames rose in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he sent them flying toward his target.

A powerful aura shot skyward, and a black-robed figure, whose face was obscured, appeared before Chen Xuan.

Having boosted his strength, the black-robed youth showed no fear facing the incoming purple flames.

"Hmph, a mere Beast Fire dares to show off in front of me," the black-robed youth scoffed.

White flames ascended from his palm. Under his control, they surged forward to meet the oncoming purple flames.

The instant the white flames appeared, Chen Xuan felt a sense of apprehension.

He realized the opponent's white flames were incredibly powerful, at least more terrifying than his own purple flames.

The white flames and purple flames collided.

To Chen Xuan's astonishment, the purple flames were easily defeated by the white flames.

"Are the white flames really that potent?" Chen Xuan was a little shaken.

He noticed that his opponent's aura was clearly weaker than his, but with the white flames, their attack power could be elevated by an entire level.

Moreover, the white flames held a suppressive advantage over the purple flames.

"Tsk tsk, those white flames of yours are good. I want them," Chen Xuan stared greedily at the white flames in the black-robed youth's hand.

How could Chen Xuan easily let go of a flame more powerful than a Beast Fire when he encountered one?

As long as he devoured the white flames, his combat strength would increase significantly.

With his current Eight-star Dou Huang strength, even if the opponent possessed powerful white flames, he could still handle them.

"Then you'll have to prove your capability," the black-robed youth said coldly.

Chen Xuan grinned, his Dou Qi surging, his gaze fixed on his target.

He charged at the black-robed youth, purple flames sweeping overwhelmingly toward the latter.

The void was permeated by purple flames, and air currents swirled.

Facing his attack, the black-robed youth showed no weakness, his white flames rising again in his hand.

The white flames formed a barrier in front of him, meeting Chen Xuan's attack.

The two types of flames clashed once more. Without suspense, the purple flames were defeated.

Just as the purple flames dissipated, a wisp of green flame suddenly appeared from Chen Xuan's left hand.

The green flame instantly streaked across the sky, attacking the black-robed youth.

"Another Beast Fire?" Surprise flickered in the black-robed youth's eyes.

He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to possess two Beast Flames.

He also noticed that the green flames contained potent toxins; if they stuck to him, it would definitely be unpleasant.

Not daring to be careless, the white flames in the black-robed youth's hand immediately flared up.

The green flames and white flames met, instantly generating an astonishing heatwave, and violent energy ravaged the surroundings.

When the green flames encountered the white flames, they entered a brief stalemate and were not immediately defeated.

This was because the green flames also possessed a corrosive ability.

Dou Qi surged wildly from both of them, maintaining the power of their respective flames.

In the end, the green flames dissipated.

Chen Xuan instantly retreated, avoiding the white flames' attack.

He knew the power of the white flames, so he didn't dare to touch them easily.

"Looks like I've run into a tough opponent," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.

He had thought his opponent was weak, but he hadn't expected them to be so difficult to deal with.

Since that was the case, he would have to use stronger methods to handle them.

On the other side, Gu He and his group temporarily ceased their fighting.

"Sect Master Yun, what do we do now?" Gu He asked.

He had come here for the Heavenly Flame, and leaving empty-handed left a bitter taste in his mouth.

If it had been earlier, he would have left immediately.

But it was different now. Chen Xuan was facing a Dou Huang expert and couldn't spare any attention for them.

This was their chance.

"Queen Medusa should be in the midst of her evolution right now, unable to extricate herself. Otherwise, she would have already made a move," Yun Yun said gravely. "The Heavenly Flame should be in the city center. Seize this opportunity and go."

Gu He nodded, then flapped his wings and soared towards the city center.

The Snake People Race experts tried to stop him but were blocked by Yan Shi and Feng Xingzhe.

"Sir, I'll help you," Yun Yun said, gripping her longsword and joining the fray.

"Heh heh, with the two of us working together, we can definitely subdue him," the black-robed youth chuckled.

Originally, the black-robed youth wasn't confident he could defeat Chen Xuan alone, as his opponent was an Eight-star Dou Huang expert.

Now, with Yun Yun joining, the tide of battle instantly shifted.

"Working together, are we?" Chen Xuan's eyes glinted with cold killing intent as he stared at the two in front of him with interest.

What if he faced two Dou Huang experts?

"While Queen Medusa can't act, how about we team up and kill him?" the black-robed youth suggested to Yun Yun.

To obtain the Heavenly Flame, they first had to remove this obstacle.

Once Medusa completed her evolution, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yun Yun naturally understood this, so she nodded.

The black-robed youth's aura surged dramatically. He swung the black heavy ruler in his hand, unleashing immense power.

"Earth-tier Combat Skill: Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!" the black-robed youth roared in a low voice.

A muffled explosion, like rolling thunder, suddenly erupted, followed by a surging wave of heat that swept outwards, spreading in all directions.

The immense power slammed towards Chen Xuan.

At the same time, Yun Yun also moved.

She let out a delicate cry, "Splitting Wind Spiral Dance!"

As her voice faded, countless deep-green wind blades, dozens of feet long, appeared out of thin air and intertwined with each other.

The green wind blades looked like cylindrical pillars covered in blades, spinning rapidly in a spiral as they charged forward.

Both of them unleashed powerful Combat Skills to attack Chen Xuan.

Seeing the astonishing combat power they unleashed, Chen Xuan's expression turned solemn.

Green flames and purple flames emerged from his left and right hands respectively. He brought his palms together, rapidly fusing the two Beast Fires.

Witnessing this, both the black-robed youth and Yun Yun looked astonished.

Two Beast Fires of different attributes instantly merged, forming a single purple-green flame, generating a chaotic surge of power.

The purple-green flame left Chen Xuan's hands, then expanded, blocking in front of him and meeting the opponents' attacks.

The two forces collided, creating terrifying destructive power that swept outwards like a raging storm.

The explosion from the clash of powers was like a series of thunderclaps.

Space trembled under the immense destructive force.

Both sides retreated explosively, staring at each other from a distance.

"This guy's a lunatic, to be able to fuse two Beast Fires of different attributes!" the black-robed youth said gravely. "Thankfully, they're Beast Fires. If they were both Heavenly Flames, what level of power would that reach?"

"This attack method, its power can reach the Dou Huang Peak level," Yun Yun said with apprehension.

"While the power is decent, the consumption is immense. He won't last long," the black-robed youth stated pointedly. "Defeating him won't be a problem."

Yun Yun nodded slightly, agreeing with the black-robed youth's assessment.

"Is that so? Then you can try," Chen Xuan said, a cruel smirk playing on his lips.
