Peerless War God

Xi Luo turned his head and looked over. "Why didn't you make a move?"    

"The risk is too great. Forget it, it's safer to be safe." Chen Xiao replied.    

Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said, "This is very much like your personality. You definitely won't take the risk. It's good that you won't take the risk. It's just that you missed the opportunity to increase the power of the ghost fire."    

"Eh …"    

Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Xi Luo in shock.    

Hey, you should have said this earlier. You didn't mention it before either.    

"You didn't say it earlier?"    

Xi Luo chuckled and said, "Just as you said, it's better to be safe. If you make a move, even though there is a high chance of success, it will also put you in a dangerous situation. After weighing the pros and cons, it's better to give up."    

Chen Xiao was a little helpless. He could tell that Xi Luo was not interested in this, so he didn't remind him.    

Forget it, since this Flame Beast was determined to escape, then forget it.    

"Next, what should we do?" Chen Xiao asked.    

"Let's just wait and see. Since they have exterminated this large group of Flame Beasts, they will take away the Inextinguishable Flame Crystals. At that time, it will be your chance. Whether or not you can get a Flame Crystal will depend on your luck."    

Xi Luo said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao nodded, deep in thought.    

However, in his heart, he always felt that things were not that simple.    

In front of the lava lake.    

As the Flame Beast leader fled back into the lava, the entire space quieted down, and the cultivators of the two sects heaved a sigh of relief.    

“Phew, that’s great, we finally got our lives back.”    

“That Flame Beast leader from before was too terrifying, it almost killed us all.”    

“Yeah, it’s all thanks to Third Elder, he single-handedly chased away the Flame Beast leader, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”    

The cultivators discussed animatedly, and they were all rejoicing.    

Not far away, beneath a cliff, Zhou Kuang was protecting Fairy Bing Feng, waiting for her to recover.    

After hearing these voices, Zhou Kuang had an unsatisfied expression, and he cursed, “A bunch of blind fools, if it wasn’t for your sword, Bing Ke Huo, injuring the Flame Beast leader, Yan Can wouldn’t have had a chance to make a move, not to mention chasing away the Flame Beast, not killing it on the spot, what’s there to be happy about?”    

When Bing Feng heard this, she laughed.    

She knew that Zhou Kuang always wanted to be strong, but she didn’t think that he would even compete for this matter.    

“Alright, Elder Kuang, we won this battle, that’s enough, as for what others say, it’s not important.”    

Fairy Bing Feng spoke, consoling him.    

When Zhou Kuang heard this, he was slightly displeased, “We clearly contributed the most, why are they all praising Yan Can alone, this isn’t reasonable.”    

The Ice Phoenix Fairy shook her head helplessly when she saw this. She didn’t want to persuade her any further, and she continued to focus on healing her injuries.    

Her injuries weren’t light, and she had to recover as soon as possible.    

Moreover, she was worried that this Flame Beast Commander had only been chased away, and it hadn’t been killed. It would probably cause another wave of trouble.    

If that was the case, then she had to recover even faster in order to avoid any mishaps.    

When she thought up to here, she asked, “How are the casualties on the side of the Heavenly Flame Daoist Sect?”    

“One person died, and the others suffered light injuries,” Zhou Kuang replied in a low voice.    

“Oh, I understand.”    

The Ice Phoenix nodded and didn’t speak any further.    

This caused Zhou Kuang to be slightly puzzled.    

In comparison, the cultivators on their side suffered even greater casualties. Two of the Rogue Cultivators had died, and numerous people were heavily injured. Even one of the cultivators from the Demon God Hall had died, and numerous people were injured.    

If it wasn’t for the casualties of the Rogue Cultivators, then it was barely acceptable.    

When he thought up to here, Zhou Kuang calmed down.    

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.    

On this day, the Ice Phoenix Fairy suddenly opened her eyes and looked over, only to see Yan Can flying over by himself and stopping before her.    

“Looks like Third Elder has recovered quite well,” the Ice Phoenix Fairy said indifferently.    

Yan Can’s face sank as he replied, “It’s still alright. It’s just that he has recovered a little, and he’s still far from recovering to his optimum state. It’s just that we probably don’t have that much time.”    

“What do you mean?” Zhou Kuang asked.    

Yan Can glanced at Zhou Kuang, then looked at Fairy Ice Phoenix.    

“Fairy, you should understand what I mean,” Yan Can said.    

“You…” Zhou Kuang was infuriated when he heard this. These words were obviously looking down on him.    

Fairy Ice Phoenix smiled and interrupted Zhou Kuang’s words. She said slowly, “Third Elder is worried about that escaping Flame Beast leader?”    

Yan Can sighed and said with a worried expression, “Yes. Although that Flame Beast leader was injured and its strength greatly decreased, it escaped back into the lava lake. It was like a fish in water, and its strength greatly increased. Even if it was injured, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be its match. It would be extremely dangerous.”    

Fairy Ice Phoenix continued after hearing this, “But we still have to obtain the Undying Flame Crystals and we have to enter the lava lake.”    

Yan Can’s eyes lit up. “Yes, that’s what I meant.”    

“Then wouldn’t it be more dangerous? If that Flame Beast leader bears a grudge and hides in the dark and suddenly attacks us, wouldn’t we be sending ourselves to death if we enter the lava lake?”    

Zhou Kuang agreed.    

“Yes, that’s what I’m most worried about,” Yan Can said helplessly.    

He had already thought of this three days ago, but he hadn’t exposed it.    

Now that three days had passed, he felt that he couldn’t continue waiting, so he came over to make it clear.    

With the existence of this escaping Flame Beast, it would greatly increase the danger of everyone entering the lava lake.    

This also meant that if they really entered, it was very likely that they would cause great casualties.    

Seeing the two of them frown, Zhou Kuang was a bit panicked as well, and he spread out his hands.    

“Then what should we do?”    

Yan Can shook his head and said, “I don’t know either, that’s why I came to discuss with you two. We’ll decide whether we enter the lava lake or not.”    

If they entered, it would be extremely dangerous.    

If they didn’t enter, it meant that they were giving up on the Undying Flame Crystals. In the end, they would pay a great price, but they would fail.    

Thinking about it carefully, he was really unwilling. This was a dilemma.    

Fairy Ice Phoenix’s face was cold. After thinking for a moment, she said, “I won’t give up on the Undying Flame Crystals: Third Elder, you should do the same.”    

“This…” Yan Can gritted his teeth and nodded, and he considered it as a compromise.    

“I’m determined to obtain the Undying Flame Crystals, that’s why I came to discuss with you guys and see if there’s any good way.”    

Zhou Kuang was a bit dissatisfied when he heard this. “You old kid, you’re full of evil ideas. You just want us to bear the losses together, hmph, I won’t do that.”    

Yan Can was a bit anxious. If the people of the Demon God Hall backed out, then he wouldn’t have the chance to obtain the Undying Flame Crystals: he wouldn’t even have the chance to obtain one.    

If he only relied on the people of the Heavenly Fire Daoist Sect, it would be too dangerous to enter the lava lake.    

Even he didn’t have much confidence.    

Just as Zhou Kuang said, he had to pull people along to share the risk.    

When he thought up to here, he made up his mind and said, “If we obtain the Undying Flame Crystals, then we’ll split it fifty-fifty. What do the two of you think?”    

When he heard this, the Ice Phoenix and Zhou Kuang looked at each other, and their expressions loosened up slightly. They were slightly tempted.
