Chapter 1662: Chapter 818: Skyfire Sect’s Assistance, Slaying the Blazing Fire Snake!
Their cultivation had significantly improved, but at the same time, they could feel the restlessness of their power within.
“We need to find a place to meditate and stabilize our cultivation,” Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang agreed to Luo Chen’s suggestion, and the two decided to leave Flame Valley and find a safe place for meditation.
On the way out of Flame Valley, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang remained vigilant, knowing that the cultivators of the Skyfire Sect would not give up easily.
Sure enough, just as they were about to leave Flame Valley, the cultivators of the Skyfire Sect appeared again, trying to intercept them.
“Previously, you found an opportunity, but this time you two are not getting away!”
The leader of the Skyfire Sect said angrily.
Luo Chen gripped the Blood Slaughter Blade tightly, while Qing Shuang prepared her spell.
“Then let’s try it!” Luo Chen said in a deep voice, his gaze firm.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen’s words were filled with determination.
She began casting a powerful defensive spell, ready to face the impending attack.
The cultivators of the Skyfire Sect were not discouraged by their previous failure; instead, their fighting spirit was further ignited.
They all cast fire magic, flames attacking Luo Chen and Qing Shuang like a storm.
Luo Chen wielded the Blood Slaughter Blade, the sanguine glow intertwining with the flames to form a spectacular scene.
Qing Shuang used her magic wand to guide water spells, clashing with the fire, creating a thunderous roar.
The battle was extremely fierce. With their tacit cooperation and exquisite spell usage, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually took the upper hand.
Despite their numbers, the cultivators of the Skyfire Sect struggled against Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s relentless resistance.
Just as both sides were at an impasse, a loud noise erupted from the depths of Flame Valley, shaking the entire valley.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to this sudden phenomenon.
“What happened?” the leader of the Skyfire Sect asked in bewilderment.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were also puzzled, knowing that this might signal a new variable.
They decided to temporarily cease fighting and investigate the source of the sound together.
In the depths of Flame Valley, a massive magma pool was boiling, as if something was slowly rising from within.
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and the cultivators of the Skyfire Sect approached cautiously, filled with alertness and curiosity.
As the magma churned, a gigantic figure gradually emerged.
It was a giant snake, its entire body ablaze with flames, its eyes like two burning fireballs, emanating a chilling glow.
“It’s… it’s the Blazing Fire Snake!”
Someone exclaimed.
The Blazing Fire Snake, the overlord of Flame Valley, was said to possess the power to incinerate everything.
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and the cultivators of the Skyfire Sect felt unprecedented pressure in the face of this sudden threat.
“We must join forces to deal with this demonic beast, or none of us will leave alive.” The leader of the Skyfire Sect’s voice carried a tremor, clearly frightened by the appearance of the Blazing Fire Snake.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, knowing that this was not the time for fighting; survival was their primary goal.
Luo Chen nodded, agreeing to cooperate.
“Alright, we’ll join forces,” Qing Shuang quickly responded, knowing that only by working together could they hope to defeat the formidable demonic beast.
The Blazing Fire Snake seemed to sense their presence, its massive head slowly turning towards Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, spewing searing flames from its mouth to form a fire wall.
“Watch out for its flames!” Luo Chen shouted, simultaneously swinging the Blood Slaughter Blade, tracing an arc of crimson light in the air, attempting to cut through the fire wall.
Qing Shuang cast a water elemental defensive spell, forming a water curtain in an attempt to resist the Blazing Fire Snake’s fiery assault.
The cultivators of the Skyfire Sect were equally unyielding, casting their spells — fireballs, fire walls, fire dragons — various fire spells converging on the Blazing Fire Snake.
The Blazing Fire Snake let out a deafening roar, its body rolling in the magma pool, as the flames became even fiercer.
Its enormous tail swept across, bringing a gust of wind that forced Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and the Skyfire Sect cultivators to retreat.
The battle became exceptionally arduous, each of the Blazing Fire Snake’s attacks brimming with destructive power.
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and the cultivators of the Skyfire Sect fought with all their might, but they could hardly inflict substantial harm on the Blazing Fire Snake.
“This isn’t working; does anyone have an idea?”
Luo Chen yelled to the Skyfire Sect members while dodging the Blazing Fire Snake’s attacks.
Now both sides found themselves forced to unite against a common threat.
If they couldn’t resolve the Blazing Fire Snake situation, it would be a major hassle for both parties.
The leader of the Skyfire Sect frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before loudly shouting, “See the bulge on top of the Blazing Fire Snake’s head? If you can thrust your blade into that bulge, you can severely wound the Blazing Fire Snake!”
Hearing this, Luo Chen’s gaze sharpened, realizing this might be their only chance.
He gripped the Blood Slaughter Blade tightly, took a deep breath, and then said to Qing Shuang, “I need your help, Qing Shuang.”
Qing Shuang nodded, understanding Luo Chen’s intention. She began casting a powerful support spell, injecting a refreshing energy into Luo Chen, revitalizing him and doubling his strength.
“I’m ready,” Qing Shuang’s voice was weak but resolute.
Luo Chen nodded, then began searching for an opportunity amidst the Blazing Fire Snake’s attacks.
The Blazing Fire Snake’s flames raged like a storm, but Luo Chen, with his extraordinary movement technique, deftly evaded, step by step approaching the Blazing Fire Snake.
The leader of the Skyfire Sect also noticed Luo Chen’s movements, directing his disciples to attract the Blazing Fire Snake’s attention as much as possible, creating an opportunity for Luo Chen.
Finally, Luo Chen found a gap, dashing towards the Blazing Fire Snake like a bolt of lightning, the Blood Slaughter Blade tracing a sanguine arc in the air, aimed straight at the bulge on the Blazing Fire Snake’s head.
The Blazing Fire Snake seemed to sense the threat, roaring in an attempt to block Luo Chen’s attack with its tail.
But Luo Chen’s speed was simply too fast, the Blood Slaughter Blade accurately pierced the Blazing Fire Snake’s bulge.
A potent energy wave burst from the Blazing Fire Snake’s body, writhing in agony, its flames growing unstable, causing the magma pool to churn.
“It’s worked!” the leader of the Skyfire Sect exclaimed joyfully.
Quickly retreating, Luo Chen returned to Qing Shuang’s side.
The Blazing Fire Snake’s flames began to wane, its body gradually sinking into the magma pool, eventually disappearing entirely.
Flame Valley returned to peace once more, though the air remained thick with intense heat.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, both sighing in relief.
The disappearance of the Blazing Fire Snake signaled a temporary calm, but the danger of Flame Valley was not yet entirely dispelled.
The leader of the Skyfire Sect gave Luo Chen a long, deep look before leaving.
Though there had been some friction with Luo Chen before, having just joined forces to deal with the Blazing Fire Snake,
expecting the Skyfire Sect to show weakness to Luo Chen was impossible.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the magma pool’s edge, gazing toward where the Blazing Fire Snake disappeared, filled with complex emotions.
They knew that although the Blazing Fire Snake had been defeated, Flame Valley’s threat was far from over.
The leader of the Skyfire Sect had left, but the complex emotions revealed in his gaze made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang aware that their future relationship with the Skyfire Sect might change.
“We need to leave here as soon as possible,” Qing Shuang said softly, fatigue laced in her voice.
Luo Chen nodded, scanning the surroundings to ensure no other threats before slowly speaking, “Yes, we need to find a safe place to properly digest our gains this time.”
“But before that, we should see if we can retrieve the Blazing Fire Snake’s corpse.”
“The Blazing Fire Snake’s blood and flesh, along with its body, are top-notch materials!”
