The eyes of the Guardian Beast were severely injured, and amidst the intertwining pain and rage, it became increasingly frenzied. It let out a thunderous roar that seemed capable of collapsing the entire temple's Core Area. As the roar echoed, flames erupted violently from the Guardian Beast, transforming its previously eerie blue flames into an even more intense heat, almost turning white-hot.
The flames surged like a raging tide, spreading wildly from the Guardian Beast's center. Wherever they reached, the ground was instantly scorched, and the hard rocks melted away like wax, emitting a hissing sound and a pungent odor.
Seeing this, Liang Tian's expression darkened as he shouted, "Everyone, hold your ground! Don't panic!" Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately channeled their spiritual energy to its peak and cast various defensive spells. The Treasure in Liang Tian's hand shone brightly as a colorful Spiritual Shield rapidly unfolded in front of them, attempting to block the oncoming flames.
Xiao Zhan swung his long knife, cleaving through the encroaching flames one by one. Sweat had already drenched him, but his eyes remained filled with determination and defiance. The experts from the Hidden Sect unleashed their unique skills, while the Ling Xiao Sect disciples joined forces to cast the Lingxiao Guardian Formation, enveloping everyone in a golden Light Screen; the Sword Cultivators from Wan Jian Sect infused their sword energy into the defense, enhancing the resilience of the Light Screen.
However, the Guardian Beast's counterattack was too fierce; the temperature and power of its flames exceeded everyone's expectations. The colorful Spiritual Shield began to dim under the impact of the flames, with cracks appearing on its surface; the golden Light Screen also swayed precariously as flames broke through their defenses, splattering onto the crowd.
Some weaker Jianghu Heroes and Hidden Sect disciples were inadvertently caught by the flames, letting out cries of agony. Flames ignited on their bodies, scorching their skin and inflicting severe injuries.
Chen Xue had been observing the battle from a distance. Seeing her comrades injured filled her with urgency. Ignoring her own safety, she rushed toward her wounded companions. Although Chen Xue lacked powerful offensive capabilities, she was well-versed in healing techniques from the Chen Family, making this moment crucial for her skills.
She reached a wounded Ling Xiao Sect disciple and quickly formed hand seals. A gentle white light surged from her hands, gradually enveloping the disciple's wounds. Under this light's glow, the flames on his body slowly extinguished, and his wounds began to heal at a visible pace.
"Everyone hold on! We can defeat it! Liang Tian and our seniors are doing their best; we cannot give up!" Chen Xue encouraged her comrades while treating them. Her voice was clear and resolute, like a glimmer of dawn in darkness, bringing strength and confidence to everyone.
Hearing Chen Xue's encouragement filled Liang Tian with warmth. He knew that retreating at this moment was not an option; if their defenses were breached, the consequences would be dire. Gritting his teeth, Liang Tian activated his Treasure again, channeling more spiritual energy into it. The colorful Spiritual Shield glowed once more as it barely held against the flames' assault.
Xiao Zhan also refused to back down; he shouted loudly as he unleashed all his potential. His long knife moved with precision as he repelled the encroaching flames. Inspired by Chen Xue’s encouragement, other experts regained their spirits and intensified both their defenses and counterattacks.
Despite everyone's efforts to resist, the Guardian Beast’s frenzied retaliation still placed them in an extremely difficult situation. The flames relentlessly battered their defenses while their spiritual energy rapidly depleted. The Guardian Beast showed no signs of halting its attack; it continued to roar amidst the flames, its eyes filled with fury and murderous intent. In this life-and-death moment, whether Liang Tian and his companions could withstand the Guardian Beast's mad onslaught, find a way to defeat it, successfully protect the Evil Artifact, and thwart the Dark Organization's schemes remained uncertain…
