Peerless War God

“Yeah, if even you die here, our sacrifices will be meaningless.”    

Under the lake, the two cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Dao Sect were still struggling to hold on.    

At this moment, the two of them were working together to save Yan Can from the jaws of death, leaving him with a slim chance of survival. This was their only hope.    

They knew very well that it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to survive under the eyes of the Flame Beast King.    

If that was the case, they could only take a step back and let Yan Can leave first.    

“But…”    

Yan Can hesitated and sighed.    

At this moment, he felt infinite regret in his heart. If he hadn’t been too greedy and not hesitated to risk entering the lake to search for the Undying Flame Crystals, his entire army wouldn’t have been wiped out.    

It was all his greed that had caused everyone to die.    

However, in this critical situation, he didn’t have much time to reflect on his actions.    

One of the Heavenly Flame Dao Sect cultivators had a resolute look on his face as he prepared to die. He roared.    

“Third Elder, it’s too late. Ah, evil creature, go to hell.”    

He roared angrily, and blood flames erupted from his body. He burned his blood essence and threw himself at the Flame Beast King at all costs.    

He held the sword with both hands and didn’t use the Heavenly Flame Dao Sect’s most famous flame cultivation technique. Instead, he relied on the strength of a body cultivator.    

This was because he knew that no matter how powerful a flame spell was, it wouldn’t have any effect on the Flame Beast King.    

In fact, it might even help the other party to grow stronger.    

Seeing this, the Flame Beast King's eyes narrowed. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of lava, which was like thick phlegm.    

Smack.    

This male cultivator of the Heavenly Fire Dao Sect was burned into ashes.    

"No..."    

Yan Can was in extreme pain, and a trace of despair appeared in his heart.    

He could feel that the Flame Beast King was playing with him. It was like a cat teasing its prey.    

At this moment, the three of them had become the Flame Beast King's playthings, and were not in a hurry to kill them.    

Seeing this, the other Heavenly Fire Dao Sect cultivator laughed bitterly and turned his head to look at Yan Can.    

"Third Elder, you must leave alive."    

After saying this, he also pounced towards the Flame Beast King, without any hesitation.    

Boom.    

Before he even got close, he directly self-detonated, turning into a ball of sparks and exploding under the lake.    

For a moment, a lot of shockwaves were stirred up, but even so, it could only make the Flame Beast King squint his eyes, and did not cause any harm.    

It could be seen that the Flame Beast King was terrifying.    

Finally, the deaths of the two fellow sect members caused Yan Can to wake up. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at the Flame Beast King.    

"It seems like this is the only way. Go."    

He laughed loudly, "Bastard, didn't you want the Inextinguishable Flame Crystal? Alright, I'll give it to you. Take it."    

As he shouted, Yan Can took out an Inextinguishable Flame Crystal and threw it towards the Flame Beast King.    

Seeing this, the usually calm and collected Flame Beast King also flashed a hint of excitement in his eyes.    

When Yan Can saw this, he immediately knew that this Flame Beast King had an extraordinary origin, and it was definitely related to the Undying Flame Crystal.    

It was to the extent that he even suspected that this Flame Beast King was a spirit beast formed from the Undying Flame Crystal.    

Unfortunately, it was already too late for him to understand it now.    

The Flame Beast King opened its mouth wide and emitted a terrifying suction force, directly swallowing this piece of Undying Flame Crystal into its stomach.    

When Yan Can saw this, he couldn’t help but be shocked.    

The terrifying energy contained within the Undying Flame Crystal was something that even he felt incomparably fearful of. The other party actually dared to directly swallow it, so how was he going to refine it?    

This wasn’t something that a human could do, and only a beast like the Flame Beast King could do it.    

A wisp of hatred flashed through his eyes. “Good, then you can die. Explode!”    

He pressed his palms together and quickly formed a seal. With a slap, he detonated this piece of Undying Flame Crystal.    

He’d already carved the method of self-detonation onto the Undying Flame Crystal, and so long as he formed a seal, it would explode.    

Boom!    

A muffled sound resounded out as the Flame Beast King’s stomach suddenly grew ten times larger, and black smoke shot out from the Flame Beast King’s seven orifices.    

“Aooo!”    

The Flame Beast King let out a pained howl, and it lay weakly on the ground with a wave of weakness.    

However, Yan Can noticed that even though the Flame Beast King was heavily injured, it didn’t die. In other words, it actually withstood the blow of the Undying Flame Crystal’s self-detonation.    

Seeing this, Yan Can was shocked. This result was something he could not imagine.    

In his original plan, he only wanted to get close to the Flame Beast King and cause it to self-destruct.    

He wanted to cause damage to the Flame Beast King and cause chaos, then take the opportunity to escape.    

Now, the Inextinguishable Flame Crystal had been swallowed by the Flame Beast King and exploded in its belly. The power of the explosion was dozens of times greater than before, but it did not kill the Flame Beast King.    

It could be seen that the Flame Beast King’s strength was terrifying, completely exceeding Yan Can’s imagination.    

“Hiss~ Too terrifying. Even if a cultivator with nine tribulations of immortality came here, it would still be nothing.”    

Yan Can thought.    

But at this time, the Flame Beast King, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.    

Yan Can was scared half to death, “Not good, run!”    

He immediately turned around and ran, afraid that if he was too slow, he would not be able to escape.    

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to burn his blood essence and accelerate his escape.    

In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the lava lake.    

With a slap, he rushed out of the sky. He turned around and saw a huge shadow of a black figure rushing out of the lake, crazily pouncing on him.    

It was the Flame Beast King.    

His heart tightened, and he suddenly wanted to use all his strength to continue running.    

At this time, a blood-colored saber light appeared in the air. It was several hundred feet long, and with a slash, it actually split the lake in half.    

The power of this slash could be seen.    

"Aooo!"    

With one slash, the Flame Beast King was stopped and could no longer continue to chase. It let out a furious roar and fell back.    

At this time, a breeze blew over. It was the Ice Phoenix Fairy. She grabbed Yan Can's arm and lightly shouted, "Quickly leave."    

Immediately, she pulled Yan Can and Zhou Kuang away, quickly escaping from this place. They would leave first.    

For a moment, the entire Land of Fire was restored to tranquility. It was filled with heat, becoming increasingly hotter.    

At the same time.    

Chen Xiao escaped from the Land of Fire and arrived in front of an unremarkable mountain peak.    

He panted heavily and covered his chest with one hand, but his injuries were not light.    

"Your injuries are very serious. You have to stop and heal first."    

At this time, Xi Luo spoke.    

Chen Xiao swept his eyes around and confirmed that there were no traces of other cultivators around.    

It was also true that the situation in the Land of Fire had erupted like this. Ordinary rogue cultivators would have long been scared out of their wits and would not even dare to turn back, or stay around.    

Thinking of this, his heart moved, "Let's do it here."    

"Here? Are you sure?"    

Chen Xiao nodded, "The most dangerous place is usually the safest. Everyone knows the principle of the dark under the lamp."    

Xi Luo pondered for a moment, "That's a bit reasonable, but that's the only way."    

He could also see that with Chen Xiao's current condition, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.    

Instead of dragging his sick body and running away, he might as well find a secluded place nearby and recuperate before making a decision.    

"Okay."
