"Ah!!"
Duan Liu let out a shrill scream, unable to endure the extreme heat. His clothes instantly caught fire, and he was engulfed in flames.
Although the situation was dire, Duan Liu did not completely panic. He exerted all his strength to circulate Martial Origin Power, attempting to condense a protective layer on the surface of his body.
He was self-aware and knew that his Martial Origin Power protective layer was insufficient to withstand Void Fire, so he did not expect too much; he only hoped that Ye Tian would come to his rescue at a critical moment.
Ye Tian did not disappoint him. Almost at the same moment that the Crimson Flame Ape lunged at him, he appeared nearby and immediately struck several palms, each landing on the massive head of the Crimson Flame Ape.
Since he arrived late, Ye Tian had no chance to push away or block the Crimson Flame Ape's attack for Duan Liu; he could only try to stop the Crimson Flame Ape's movements by striking its head.
The Bagua Thunder Palm shone with golden light, and loud sounds echoed continuously. However, for some reason, the head of the Crimson Flame Ape was extremely hard; even with Ye Tian mixing in spiritual power, the Bagua Thunder Palm could not inflict any damage.
Seeing this, Ye Tian realized it was a battle of attrition. Although anxious, he did not lose his composure. He quickly tore off the cloth bag containing Dan Pills from his waist and threw it far away to prevent it from being burned by Void Fire.
Crack! Crack!
The Martial Origin Power protective layer that Duan Liu had condensed finally began to crack, producing a series of crisp sounds, reminiscent of dry wood thrown into a raging fire.
In truth, it was only a moment that had passed.
Duan Liu's Martial Origin Power protective layer lasted just an instant, while Ye Tian's desperate attempts to save him resulted in those strikes being delivered in the blink of an eye.
Roar!
Being struck repeatedly by a tiny human on its neck infuriated the Crimson Flame Ape. At this moment, the wound on its chest was still oozing lava-like blood. Although its head had sustained heavy blows without immediate serious harm, it could not escape the buzzing in its brain, which felt like it might explode.
The head is the hardest part of the Crimson Flame Ape's body, where it condenses its inner core and generates Void Fire.
Throughout its long evolutionary history, its head has been continuously perfected and evolved. By now, its hardness far exceeds that of gold and stone.
Ye Tian disregarded the intense heat waves emanating from the Crimson Flame Ape, as well as his burning clothes and hair, and relentlessly struck down with Thunder Palm, launching a fierce assault on the ape's head.
"Ugh..."
Duan Liu's protective layer was shattered, and the raging heat surged in. His skin began to blister under the extreme temperature...
"Ye Tian... don't worry about me..."
In his final moments, Duan Liu saw Ye Tian, who was almost transformed into a fiery figure himself.
Ye Tian continued to strike desperately at the Crimson Flame Ape's head. Amidst the red-black flames, Thunder Palm flickered with bursts of golden light.
"Ye Tian!!"
In the distance, Yun'er and Cold Moon shouted in unison with a voice almost choked with tears. At that moment, it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping their hearts, pulling fiercely from their throats.
It seemed that an extraordinary power had been unleashed within them. The two rushed forward; Cold Moon drew her sword while Yun'er brandished her dagger, their attack fierce, fueled by both grief and killing intent.
"Flowing Cloud Shadow Sword!" Cold Moon cried out. In this critical moment, her subconscious urged her to use the Flowing Cloud Shadow Sword, which she was not familiar with but possessed great power.
After shouting, Cold Moon stood firm, her left hand forming a sword seal while her right hand pointed her sword to the sky. At that moment, a mountain wind suddenly rose, causing her white robes to flutter and her long black hair to billow.
The heat waves spread all around; Cold Moon's face turned slightly red from the heat. However, she gritted her teeth, her expression exceptionally resolute.
Flowing Cloud Shadow Sword is a personal martial art created by Cloud Pavilion Master Qin Fufeng. This sword technique emphasizes dispersing power outward, meaning it maximizes the Martial Origin Power that one can control externally while keeping the body completely reserved, aiming to kill enemies from a thousand steps away.
Martial arts can be categorized into conservative and aggressive types. Cloudscroll Pavilion's Cloud Rolling Palm belongs to the conservative type, while the Wang family's Frenzied Tiger Fist, although not mainstream, is a typical representative of the aggressive type. However, the Flowing Cloud Shadow Sword is essentially a reckless gambling style.
At this moment, an unmatched brilliance suddenly erupted from Cold Moon's long sword, and after the light faded, the area within thirty zhang was completely shrouded in mist.
"Whoosh..."
Cold Moon let out a light breath; fortunately, she successfully executed the Flowing Cloud Shadow Sword on her first attempt.
Next, it was time to transform into flowing clouds and floating shadows, solidifying those shadows into a sword to kill!
Hiss hiss hiss...
A faint and inaudible sound emerged from within the mist as a small patch of fog began to converge in a way that was nearly invisible to the naked eye. Moments later, a faint black shadow resembling a long sword appeared on the ground.
Bang bang bang!
The muffled sounds continued without pause as Ye Tian gritted his teeth and relentlessly struck at the head of the Crimson Flame Ape. At this point, he was no longer fighting to save Duan Liu, but was crazily seeking revenge because Duan Liu's screams had long ceased, and his body had begun to char gradually...
Cold Moon used her signature technique, but Yun'er had fallen silent.
Somewhere in the mist, Yun'er curled up on the ground with an exceptionally painful expression. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her tightly shut eyes concealed both urgency and helplessness.
Just moments ago, she had anxiously urged the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique due to her concern for Ye Tian's safety, which led to the current situation.
Just two days prior, she had activated the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power, and her battle with Fourth Master had nearly exhausted all her strength. If it weren't for Ye Tian suppressing her with the extreme heat of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, she would likely still be bedridden recovering from her injuries.
So this time she forcibly activated the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power again, and as expected, before she could assist Ye Tian, Yun'er had already fallen into a dangerous situation.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The mist suddenly began to tremble, and the shadows on the ground grew increasingly dense. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of them appeared.
In mid-air, Cold Moon's forehead was drenched in sweat, and her long hair stuck to her cheeks due to the humidity. Although somewhat disheveled, it added a touch of resolute beauty.
Duan Liu no longer struggled violently; only faint murmurs escaped her lips, seemingly uttering three words—a girl's name.
Bang, bang, bang...
"Scared!"
Ye Tian roared again, channeling all his strength into his left arm.
Martial Origin Power, spiritual energy, Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power...
The Bagua Pattern materialized, floating from his left palm and swirling endlessly as if trying to break free.
The Crimson Flame Ape suddenly froze in its movements. It sensed a threat; the boy riding on its shoulder was about to unleash an attack that could very well blow its head apart.
In the distance, Cold Moon swayed slightly in mid-air, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She simply did not have enough ability to wield a martial art like the Flowing Cloud Shadow Sword; she was on the verge of collapsing.
The extremely weak Yun'er struggled to rise. The area within several feet beneath her feet was covered by a thin layer of frost that even the heat waves emitted by the Crimson Flame Ape could not melt.
The Crimson Flame Ape turned its head to look at Ye Tian, a glimmer of terror appearing in its large eyes. The flames within were still present but flickered as if they were about to extinguish.
At this moment, Ye Tian was in a dire state, his clothes reduced to ashes, and his slightly emaciated yet robust muscles appeared charred. However, his gaze was sharp and piercing, as if he would shoot arrows at any moment.
"Die!"
A man and a beast locked eyes for a moment, and suddenly, a brilliant light erupted from Ye Tian's eyes. Then, his thin lips parted slightly, each word sounding like a judgment.
The instant the light burst forth, the Crimson Flame Ape trembled. Although it was a beast, its intelligence had granted it certain emotions; previously, it had bullied and tormented villagers with its might, but now it was afraid...
"Roar..."
In what seemed like a plea for mercy, the Crimson Flame Ape let out a low growl, its eyes reflecting the imposing golden light of the seemingly insignificant human before it.
Ye Tian raised his hand and brought it down fiercely.
At the same moment, Cold Moon spoke: "Azure Sword Diagram!"
Floating Cloud Shadow Azure Sword Diagram!
Hundreds of black sword shadows quivered for a moment before shooting toward their sole target. The shadows reflected on the ground, yet there was no tangible sword energy to be seen or felt in the air.
Bang!
The Bagua Thunder Seal suddenly shot out from Ye Tian's palm, carrying immense power as it struck the head of the Crimson Flame Ape.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Following that, the Azure Cloud Sword Shadow surged forward. Each impact from the intangible sword shadows caused the Crimson Flame Ape to tremble uncontrollably.
Magma-like blood began to splatter everywhere as the Crimson Flame Ape crashed to the ground. Just before its head hit the ground, it exploded with a loud "bang," sending its skull flying off and splattering red and white brain matter into the sky.
The body fell straight down, and the surrounding heat waves quickly dissipated. Ye Tian was now like a charred person, completely covered in black.
"Duan..."
The words that followed could not be spoken, and Ye Tian collapsed with a thud, losing consciousness.
"Ye Tian!"
Cold Moon cried out anxiously from mid-air, but then her throat felt sweet, and she spat out another mouthful of blood. Her eyes grew heavy, and after swaying a few times, she finally fell from the sky.
With the Crimson Flame Ape killed, the Void Fire that had been afflicting Duan Liu gradually faded, but he was already on the brink of death, with no part of him left intact.
Ye Tian's body was protected by Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, which meant that while the Void Fire could only harm his surface, it could not touch his essence. But Duan Liu was different; he was just an ordinary Four-Stage Martial Artist. Faced with the Void Fire, he was fortunate not to have been turned to ashes.
He was still mumbling incoherently, but just looking at him made it impossible to call Duan Liu a person anymore. It was estimated that in a short while, he would completely turn into a ghost in the underworld...
"Ye Tian's brother whom he vowed to protect at all costs; if he dies, how heartbroken would Ye Tian be? I cannot let him be sad..." Yun'er firmly resolved in her heart and then struggled to move her footsteps until she finally reached Duan Liu's side after a long struggle.
The Crimson Flame Ape's magma-like blood flowed continuously. Yun'er’s pale lips gently parted as an ancient and mysterious incantation appeared out of thin air...
