Chapter 345: Battle in the Demon Beast Mountain Range!
"Not long ago, I detected a trace of the Green Lotus Core Flame. Now it seems that the flame has likely been taken by him!" Yao Lao said with great certainty.
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan sighed, "It seems that the Green Lotus Core Flame is not destined to be mine."
Seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat dejected expression, Yao Lao suddenly asked, "Xiao Yan, are you regretting cultivating the Flame Mantra?"
The reason Yao Lao asked this was because, up until now, the Flame Mantra had not absorbed any type of Heavenly Flame, not even Beast Flames, causing it to remain at a low-tier Yellow rank, which seriously hindered Xiao Yan's cultivation speed.
"Teacher..."
Hearing Yao Lao's question, Xiao Yan hesitated, falling into deep thought.
Seeing Xiao Yan's silence, Yao Lao, feeling a bit guilty, said, "Xiao Yan, if you regret it now, you can switch to another cultivation method."
"Teacher, I don’t regret it!"
When Yao Lao mentioned switching to another cultivation method, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became resolute. He shook his head and said, "If I don’t have enough strength, how can I gain the approval of Xun'er’s family? You once told me that only by cultivating the Flame Mantra can I achieve that kind of power. I believe in your judgment, Teacher!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said, "Good! Since you don’t regret it, then let's get back on track! Even without the Green Lotus Core Flame, I can still help you find another Heavenly Flame."
"Yes!"
Encouraged by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan straightened his back and quickly started running across the scorching sand, heading towards the place where he had agreed to meet Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
...
In the vast Demon Beast Mountain Range, a gigantic black-scaled dragon swept across the sky, blocking out the sun as it moved over the forest.
In the forest below, countless demon beasts, sensing the terrifying aura, couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground.
"With Yanran's strength, she shouldn’t have ventured into the areas inhabited by high-level demon beasts."
Standing on the back of the Black Scaled Frigid Python, Gu He calmly analyzed the situation to Yun Yun, ignoring the fearful demon beasts around them.
Under the combined assault of these three demon beasts, Nalan Yanran didn’t dare to use the powerful Dou Techniques that Gu He had taught her. Such techniques would drain all of her Dou Qi, and if even one demon leopard remained alive afterward, she would be completely defenseless. All she could do was fight while retreating.
Within minutes, Nalan Yanran’s Dou Qi had dwindled to less than a tenth of its original amount. The loss of Dou Qi caused her movements to slow down considerably.
In a moment of carelessness, a burst of energy from one of the demon leopards slashed across her right leg, sending her flying backward and crashing hard against the mountain wall.
"Master, Mistress, I’m going to disappoint you... I haven’t even completed a single task assigned to me...”
Rolling down from the four-meter-high mountain wall, Nalan Yanran lay on the ground, her ability to move completely gone. As she watched the three massive figures pounce toward her, she closed her eyes in despair.
Just as the mid-fourth-rank demon leopard, with its gaping jaws, was about to devour Nalan Yanran, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of her at an incredible speed, blocking the leopard’s attack. With a casual kick, the figure struck the demon leopard.
“Boom!”
A massive surge of red Dou Qi shot into the demon leopard's mouth. Before it could react, its body exploded violently.
The deafening sound echoed in Nalan Yanran’s ears.
“What is this?”
Curious, Nalan Yanran opened her eyes and immediately saw a red-haired figure standing just a meter in front of her, with the shattered remains of the demon leopard’s body scattered nearby.
The other two demon leopards, upon witnessing this, were filled with fear but still charged forward recklessly.
Under Nalan Yanran’s astonished gaze, the red-haired figure remained unmoved. As soon as the two demon leopards leaped toward him, they inexplicably burst into clouds of blood mist.
“This person is incredibly strong! He killed two fourth-rank demon leopards so easily!”
A mix of shock and wariness arose in Nalan Yanran’s heart.
After disposing of the two demon leopards, the red figure slowly turned around.
The man appeared to be in his thirties, clad in a fiery red robe adorned with the pattern of a flood dragon. His hair was also a vivid shade of red.
