A tall ancient tree stood with lush branches and leaves shaped like inverted hearts. At this moment, thousands of leaves rustled in the wind, and one leaf drooped slightly, causing a drop of water to roll down.
"Here it comes!"
Ye Tian spoke with a serious tone, turning his head to look into the dense forest behind.
Before his words fell, a wave of scorching heat surged forward. The droplet of water hung in mid-air, accompanied by an almost inaudible hissing sound, transforming into a mist.
"Retreat!"
With a loud shout, Ye Tian swiftly retreated. Yun'er and Cold Moon reacted just as quickly; at the moment Ye Tian called out, they also moved, and by the time they stopped, the three had already distanced themselves by thirty yards.
At the same time, a wave of heat rolled in. The Fire Tongue Grass surged like turbulent waves, instantly sweeping across dozens of yards in the Square Area.
Seeing this, Ye Tiantong's pupils constricted. The power of the Crimson Flame Ape was far beyond what he had imagined.
The comparison to a Martial Unity Expert was merely theoretical; in reality, the destructive power of the Crimson Flame Ape definitely surpassed that of a Martial Sovereign and might even reach the level of Second Stage Martial Unification.
Of course, this was only an affirmation of its destructive power. Aside from those top-tier beasts that had long been hidden away from the world, other beasts, no matter how strong, could never match human intelligence. Therefore, their destructive capabilities would be significantly diminished by their lack of intellect.
"I'll draw its attention; you two look for an opportunity," Ye Tian shouted to Cold Moon and Yun'er while dodging a wave of fire.
The two nodded in response, but their eyes revealed concern. While attracting attention sounded easy, it was extremely dangerous in practice. Even though Ye Tian relied on the incredible speed of Yuqi Tayan Jue, he still had to bear considerable risk.
Attracting attention meant drawing all the attacks of the Crimson Flame Ape onto oneself, enduring strikes comparable to those of a Martial Unity Expert with the strength of a Four-Stage Martial Artist. The level of danger was evident.
"No! We should surround it from three sides!" Yun'er said after a moment of hesitation.
"Yun'er is right!" Cold Moon agreed. Surrounding it from three sides was indeed much more reasonable than having Ye Tian attract the target alone.
Ye Tian frowned deeply; surrounding it from three sides meant that the three of them would have to share the danger. The Crimson Flame Ape was no ordinary beast; its Void Fire was so powerful that it rivaled the extreme flame power of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood.
Cold Moon had ordinary human blood in her body, and if she got even a drop on her, she would likely be incinerated on the spot. As for what kind of blood Yun'er possessed, Ye Tian wasn't sure, but he was certain that her blood was of extreme cold quality, which was the natural enemy of Void Fire. If Yuner's blood level was lower than that of Void Fire, being injured by it would likely result in injuries several times worse than normal.
As they spoke, Cold Moon had already taken the initiative to attack the Crimson Flame Ape. Although she and Yun'er agreed on surrounding it from three sides, as the Boss Lady, Cold Moon decisively "betrayed" Yun'er and went off to attract the Crimson Flame Ape's wrath alone, doing what Ye Tian wanted to do but had been prevented from doing.
"Come back!" Ye Tian exclaimed in frustration upon seeing this. His choice to attract the target alone wasn't solely out of a sense of male responsibility; it was also a decision made after brief yet rapid rational analysis.
With his Yuqi Tayan Jue and Jujutsu skills, Ye Tian's speed and physical resilience far exceeded those of Cold Moon and Yun'er. Moreover, the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood within him was an extreme flame substance. Earlier, when he was burned by Void Fire, it only caused superficial injuries, indicating that the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood was still suppressing the effects of the Void Fire. Given these two points, both logically and emotionally, Ye Tian should have taken on the responsibility of attracting the target.
However, Cold Moon naturally did not know this; she only understood that she could not let Ye Tian take such a great risk. As Boss Lady, she also couldn't allow Yun'er and herself to bear equal danger.
Thus, she chose to strike out alone.
Swish!
The long sword sliced through the air with a sharp sound as a blue sword light slashed toward the Crimson Flame Ape.
The Crimson Flame Ape was furious, pounding its chest with both fists, sending waves of fire erupting around it as a roar echoed through the air.
"Eh?"
In the moment of the Crimson Flame Ape's rage, Ye Tian inadvertently caught sight of the blood flowing from its chest, resembling molten lava.
At that moment, a sword light was slashing horizontally toward the waist of the Crimson Flame Ape, but it remained unfazed. After its roar, a massive fist enveloped in flames came crashing down toward Cold Moon.
The fiery fist descended like a meteor from the sky, carrying unmatched momentum as it collided with the sword light.
With a loud bang, the sword light dissipated instantly, but the fist continued its relentless descent toward Cold Moon.
"Sister Ningyue, be careful!" Yun'er shouted sharply and rushed forward. She saw a determined look in Cold Moon's eyes, knowing without asking that she intended to withstand this blow to buy time for both of them.
Yun'er lunged forward, her dagger in hand dancing rapidly in the air as several Qi Blades were unleashed. However, upon striking the giant fist, they were easily reduced to dust. In an instant, both of them found themselves in a perilous situation.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Ye Tian's eyes. He did not issue a warning; it wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather because after calmly and quickly analyzing the situation, he believed he had to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, Cold Moon and Yun'er's risks would be in vain.
"Watch out!"
A clear shout echoed across the area.
The Crimson Flame Ape, being limited in intelligence, paused slightly at the sound, turning its head to investigate.
In that brief moment, a human figure suddenly appeared before its massive body. The small human's eyes sparkled with determination, and their hands shone with a brilliant golden light, as if possessing extraordinary power.
Roar!
The Crimson Flame Ape responded with a furious roar, causing the trees within the Square Area to tremble and rustle.
With a swift retraction of its fist, flames swept through the air like a raging wave. In the next moment, this audacious little human would be smashed into a pulp and then turned to ashes.
Bang! Bang!
The intense heat wave surged forward, and beads of sweat instantly formed on Ye Tian's forehead. However, before the giant fist could strike, he had already pressed his hands in succession against the Crimson Flame Ape's chest with Thunder Palm.
Amidst the muffled sounds, the massive body of the Crimson Flame Ape actually staggered back two steps, blood splattering from its chest where two horrifying wounds had been blasted open.
The charred flesh emitted a strange roasted aroma, while deeper inside, muscles were surging outward.
Hot magma-like steam continuously erupted from the black nostrils of the Crimson Flame Ape, and its long white fangs were exposed beyond its Blood-Red Maw. It was clear that it wore an expression of extreme rage as it looked down at its chest wounds. Then it raised both fists again to strike at its chest, completely disregarding its already severe injuries, acting as if it were mad.
Seizing this moment, Ye Tian swiftly moved to stand beside Cold Moon and Yun'er, his expression extremely serious and unyielding as he said, "Step back behind me at least a hundred zhang!"
The two instinctively retreated without any dissent. For some reason, at that moment, they felt an unparalleled masculinity emanating from Ye Tian. In his presence, both Cold Moon and Yun'er felt a sense of delicate femininity.
Soon enough, they had withdrawn beyond a hundred zhang. Ye Tian glanced back; at this distance, given their strength, self-preservation should not be difficult for them.
"Come on, big guy!" Ye Tian withdrew his gaze from the two and locked eyes with the Crimson Flame Ape, whose enormous eyes shimmered with a fiery glow.
A strand of Kanazawa erupted, as if the majesty of an ancient Divine Dragon spread throughout the area.
Roar...
The Crimson Flame Ape's previously violent demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by a sense of confusion and uncertainty.
Ye Tian noticed this and felt a hint of doubt, but quickly realized the truth. During the more than a year he spent searching for Cold Frost, he had inadvertently revealed the Crimson Dragon's True Form several times, causing fierce beasts to retreat in fear. It seemed that the Crimson Flame Ape's reaction was also related to the Crimson Dragon's True Form.
He had initially thought he could rely on his intelligence to confront it, but now it appeared that such a confrontation was unnecessary...
Ye Tianxin thought to himself, then cast a teasing glance at the Crimson Flame Ape, which was awkwardly turning to leave.
"Is everyone alright?!"
At that moment, a rugged voice suddenly echoed from the other side of the Forest. Ye Tian inwardly cursed; how could Duan Liu show up at such a critical moment...
Roar!
The Crimson Flame Ape let out a furious roar, regaining its fierce appearance. After Ye Tian had just revealed the Crimson Dragon's True Form, it intended to avoid confrontation. With Cold Moon and Yun'er protected behind Ye Tian, the Crimson Flame Ape was frustrated with nowhere to vent its anger when Duan Liu appeared at this very moment. For the Crimson Flame Ape, this was like adding fuel to the fire.
Whoosh!
The massive body of the Crimson Flame Ape suddenly leaped into the air, its figure blocking out the sun as it covered a distance of over twenty yards in an instant, enveloping Duan Liu.
The onlookers were taken aback, with Cold Moon and Yun'er too far away to offer any help. Although Ye Tian had enough speed, he lacked the strength to stop the Crimson Flame Ape, as evidenced by the previous two strikes.
Ye Tian could only inflict damage on the Crimson Flame Ape; killing it would likely require time to gather strength.
However, what was most lacking at that moment was time!
Duan Liu had taken a long detour to arrive from the southwest. When he got there, he had indeed seen the Crimson Flame Ape, but coincidentally, what he witnessed was the scene of the Crimson Flame Ape being intimidated and angrily retreating from Ye Tian's True Form of the Crimson Dragon...
Thus, he naively believed that the Crimson Flame Ape had lost its combat capability or had already surrendered. That was why he dared to appear just about twenty yards away from the Crimson Flame Ape.
Suddenly...
The fierce Whispers echoed in his ears as Duan Liu stared in shock at this impending disaster.
Martial Origin Power instinctively surrounded him, but as an ordinary Four-Stage Martial Artist, how could he withstand an opponent with strength comparable to a Martial Unity Expert like the Crimson Flame Ape?
A scorching heat wave rolled through, like lava flowing past him. He felt a piercing burn on his skin, and Duan Liu even sensed his hair starting to catch fire. His skin began to wrinkle and char, and the moisture and signs of life within his body rapidly drained away...
