Chapter 320: Red Fire Lizard
Translator: Cinder Translations
Lei Yuhua had originally been watching the show from the sidelines, hoping that Feng Qi and Jie Hui would engage in a battle where both would be equally hurt.
However, unexpectedly, Jie Hui, who had just proposed an alliance with him, was now considering an alliance with Feng Qi.
Unable to hold back, he mocked, "There are rumors in the cultivation world that Buddhist cultivators are the most hypocritical, with their sweet words and deceitful ways. Today, I finally get to witness it."
Facing Lei Yuhua's sarcasm, Jie Hui remained composed, still wearing a compassionate expression as if pitying the world.
"Gentlemen, in the Canglan Secret Realm, there are many spiritual treasures. It is unwise for the three of us to fight over a mere Fire Lin Wood."
Feng Qi sneered, "If the master thinks that the Fire Lin Wood is not worth the trouble, you can simply withdraw. My friend Lei and I will not obstruct you."
Lei Yuhua chimed in, "What Friend Feng says is absolutely right."
Jie Hui continued, "Gentlemen, the three of us are indeed the strongest faction here. The treasures are right before us, yet you suggest that we let them go? That seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"
"Why not have Lei take back the two Fire Lin Woods, and we, the three brothers, each take one. The remaining one can be split between the two of you. How about that?"
Lei Yuhua laughed, "You bald donkey, you're playing a clever game. I would go alone to retrieve the Fire Lin Wood, bearing all the risks, while you sit back and enjoy the rewards. You want a whole piece of Fire Lin Wood, and I only get half? Do you think I'm a fool, easily deceived?"
Feng Qi's expression grew serious as he spoke in a low voice, "I don't care how you divide it. I at least want one piece of Fire Lin Wood; otherwise, none of you will have a chance to take it."
His tone was resolute, displaying an unwavering determination.
Jie Hui's tone turned cold, carrying a hint of murderous intent. "It seems that talking peacefully is perceived by you two as thinking the poor monk is weak and easy to bully. Since that's the case, the three of us will take all the Fire Lin Woods."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi's face turned serious.
Two fire dragons formed on either side of him, fully charged and ready to strike.
Meanwhile, Lei Yuhua activated his Thunder Escape Technique, continuing deeper into the
cavern.
In this area, spiritual perception was limited, and the controllable attack range was restricted to about a hundred meters. Beyond that range, the precision of attacks would drastically decrease.
Taking advantage of the flexibility offered by the Thunder Escape Technique and the unique terrain, he believed he didn't need to engage in a direct conflict with the other two.
Thus, he decided to keep his distance and wait for the two sides to fight to the death.
Suddenly.
As Lei Yuhua hovered in mid-air, he sensed intense fluctuations of spiritual power behind him.
Turning to look, he found that two flame dragons were roaring and charging toward him.
On the other side, Jie Wu had transformed again into a towering golden giant, standing atop a golden lotus platform, charging toward him.
Behind the giant, Jie Se was hiding, ready to join the attack.
The three monks from the Mixed Yuan Temple and Feng Qi had apparently reached an agreement at some point and were now joining forces against him.
Feng Qi and Lei Yuhua were about two hundred meters apart, which was far beyond the range
of spiritual perception.
Lei Yuhua easily evaded the attack from the fire dragons.
The two fire dragons dove into the lava.
Lava splashed everywhere!
Flames flew wildly!
The previously calm Molten Flame Fish became even more agitated.
Thousands of molten flame fish surged from the lava.
They rushed toward the nearest Lei Yuhua.
No matter how exquisite the Thunder Escape Technique was, being surrounded by thousands
of molten flame fish made it nearly impossible for Lei Yuhua to dodge every single one.
With no choice, he summoned a long sword and wielded it, cutting down the molten flame fish that blocked his path one by one.
He wasn't aiming to kill the molten flame fish but simply to push them back.
Even so, his speed was still greatly affected.
The Molten Flame Fish had tough skin and immense strength. After a series of slashes, his
arm quickly grew numb.
Moreover, Molten Flame Fish continued to surge up from below, charging toward him.
He found himself surrounded by a multitude of Molten Flame Fish.
Furthermore, Jie Wu and Jie Se were drawing closer.
Lei Yuhua realized that if this continued, it might lead to a life-threatening situation.
He decisively made the decision to abandon the competition for the Fire Lin Wood.
Lei Yuhua changed direction and swept toward the edge of the lava cavern.
The lava cavern had two entrances and exits.
In addition to the one where Jie Se and the others had entered, there was another entrance on
the opposite side.
Suddenly.
A surge of electricity erupted from Lei Yuhua.
Thunderstorm Technique!
Lightning surged wildly, instantly enveloping an area of several dozen meters.
In that moment, hundreds of Molten Flame Fish were cleared away.
Molten Flame Fish struck by the lightning fell continuously.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Yuhua darted toward the exit.
He moved at an extremely fast speed, eager to escape, while Jie Wu and Jie Se couldn't catch
up at all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Instead, as Lei Yuhua fled, the Molten Flame Fish, unable to catch him, turned their attention
to Jie Wu and Jie Se.
Molten Flame Fish over three feet long charged toward the two.
Jie Se activated his robe(kasaya), enveloped in a golden light that protected him and Jie Wu.
Jie Wu swung his fists, smashing down on the Molten Flame Fish, sending them back into the lava one after another.
Jie Se wielded a demon-slaying staff, darting back and forth, blocking the charging Molten
Flame Fish.
Seizing the moment, Jie Hui and Feng Qi leapt into the air, flying toward the center of the lava
cavern.
There, a stone platform with Fire Lin Wood, approximately thirty feet in diameter, resembled
a miniature
island.
Due to years of exposure to high temperatures, the surface of the island was as smooth as
glass.
Aside from the towering Fire Lin Wood, there was nothing else on it.
Jie Hui and Feng Qi approached the island from opposite sides.
Suddenly.
The lava beneath the island surged violently.
A massive fish 1 suddenly broke through t lava, swinging toward Jie Hui, sending a
shower of lava splashing everywhere.
Facing this sudden turn of events, Jie Hui remained completely calm, as if he had anticipated
it.
He manipulated the beads in his hand, summoning five skeletal ghostly figures.
The skeletal ghosts, holding long sabers, slashed toward the fish tail.
Before the saber even reached, countless lava droplets fell onto the ghostly figures.
The droplets caused the ghosts to emit faint dark energy, scattering into the air.
The lava was extremely hot, carrying a trace of natural Yang energy, which had a certain restraining effect on the ghostly figures.
However, this weak damage was not enough to inflict a fatal injury on the skeletal ghosts.
The five skeletal ghosts swung their sabers at the fish tail.
The beast beneath the lava seemed to realize that the ghostly figures were not easy to
provoke, and it retracted its tail.
Then, it raised its upper body out of the lava.
At this moment, everyone finally got a clear look at the beast.
The beast had four limbs, resembling a crocodile, with a long and flat body and wide,
humanoid eyes.
It was the guardian beast of the Fire Lin Wood, the Red Fire Lizard.
The Red Fire Lizard opened its mouth and spewed a large amount of lava.
The five ghostly figures were hit squarely by the eruption.
Lava flowed through the ghostly figures without leaving any visible wounds.
However, it consumed a large amount of ghostly energy.
The ghostly figures' souls became somewhat ethereal.
Jie Hui felt quite helpless.
The Red Fire Lizard, hiding within the lava, was nearly invulnerable against the ghostly
figures.
