Chapter 73

"Brother Ye!" Dai Xiaohua exclaimed anxiously, "You beast!"

Dai Xiaohua unleashed a Hundred Steps Divine Fist, his anger reaching its peak. He no longer held back. The Fire麟Beast, which had just knocked Ye Xiwén away, had no time to dodge or defend, and it was forced to take the full force of the punch. It let out a miserable cry as the punch broke through its layers of scales and hit its flesh.

At this moment, Dai Xiaohua's peak First Stage先天strength was evident.

However, Dai Xiaohua could not focus on pursuing the Fire麟Beast, as Cáo Jīnbāo from Cáo Family Village had already attacked. Another terrifying先天expert, Dai Xiaohua had to concentrate on defending himself.

The three先天experts from Cáo Family Village had already targeted Dai Xiaohua, Chén Tiěshǒu, and Wú Shàoyáng, clearly prepared for this confrontation.

Dai Xiaohua and the others grew anxious. The most terrifying thing was not the three先天experts from Cáo Family Village, but the Fire麟Beast, which had just consumed most of the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus and was now in a transformation period. If they delayed, once the Fire麟Beast completed its transformation, they would all be killed by it.

Their faces were grim, not expecting Cáo Family Village to be so ruthless, planning to eliminate them all.

"Once I get out, I will definitely have my father lead people to destroy your Cáo Family Village!" Wú Shàoyáng gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"Let's see if you can get out first!" Wú Shàoyáng's opponent was Cáo Jīnshuǐ, who sneered, completely dismissing Wú Shàoyáng's words.

As they spoke, the Fire麟Beast's aura grew stronger. With a roar, its aura surpassed the peak First Stage先天and reached the Second Stage先天. However, its aura did not stop growing.

"Let's break through, as long as one of us escapes, the Cáo Family will be exterminated!" Chén Tiěshǒu finally shouted, addressing Dai Xiaohua and Wú Shàoyáng. Only by working together could they possibly escape. As for the other先天warriors, he considered them like ants, not worth worrying about.

"Where do you think you're going!" Cáo Jīnbāo laughed.

The Fire麟Beast, with its enhanced Second Stage先天strength, roared with red eyes filled with bloodlust and violence. It leaped with its massive body and pounced on Chén Tiěshǒu.

The Fire麟Beast's strength, now at the Second Stage先天, was greatly increased. It pounced and knocked Chén Tiěshǒu to the ground.

"Die, beast!" Chén Tiěshǒu roared, his black palm striking with terrifying force, causing the air to crackle.

"Boom!" The Fire麟Beast raised its claw and stomped down.

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking, Chén Tiěshǒu's arm was shattered by the Fire麟Beast's stomp.

Before Chén Tiěshǒu could even scream, the Fire麟Beast stomped again, this time with great force, breaking all of Chén Tiěshǒu's chest bones.

"Ah!" Chén Tiěshǒu screamed as the Fire麟Beast spewed a burst of fire, burning through his protective true qi and turning him into charcoal.

"Ha ha ha, you won't escape today!" Cáo Xīng and the Fire麟Beast, now free, pounced on Wú Shàoyáng and Dai Xiaohua.

Suddenly, the lava began to boil, and a terrifying aura surged from within. Countless spiritual energies rushed in, forming large bubbles in the lava.

All the先天experts present changed their expressions. They recognized this scene all too well—someone was breaking through to the先天stage. The Cáo Family members, in particular, were shocked. How could someone break through to the先天stage in the lava?

Dai Xiaohua's face lit up, as if he had an idea.

"Attack, kill them all!" Cáo Jīnbāo immediately said, knowing that delay would only bring more trouble.

"Boom!" Before they could act, a massive explosion erupted from the lava, sending lava splashing everywhere. Everyone, except the Fire麟Beast, quickly used their skills to repel the lava, as getting too close would mean being cooked alive.

A figure shot out of the lava. The Fire麟Beast, reacting the fastest, pounced on the black figure, its red eyes filled with hatred.

A brilliant blade of light flashed, slicing through the air and striking the Fire麟Beast.

"Clang!" A loud metallic sound, the Fire麟Beast let out a miserable cry as its massive body was sent flying. A huge crack appeared on its red scales, and blood spurted out. This was the first time anyone had managed to cut through its scales.

Everyone stared in shock at the figure in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed. The Fire麟Beast, which Cáo Family Village relied on the most, had been slashed away by a single strike.

This sudden change was hard to accept.

At this moment, the figure landed on the shore.

"Brother Ye, you're safe!" Dai Xiaohua exclaimed with joy.

Wú Shàoyáng also looked at Ye Xiwén with surprise. Although he was not familiar with Ye Xiwén, his appearance provided them with a strong ally.

Ye Xiwén nodded slightly at the two, holding a knife and coldly staring at the Cáo Family Village group. Only he knew what he had gone through, a life-and-death struggle, almost a matter of life and death.

Falling into the lava pool was almost certain death. True qi of the后天stage could not withstand the lava's assault, and even先天true qi would burn quickly, making it impossible to continue resisting. At the critical moment, Ye Xiwén decided to consume the root of the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus and take the先天pill to break through to the先天stage. Only by reaching the先天stage, where true qi would continuously regenerate, could he possibly survive.

Ye Xiwén had no other choice. If he did not break through, he would be burned to death in the lava. Fortunately, heaven did not abandon him.

Although he did not consume the entire Earth Crimson Fire Lotus, consuming its root gave his body some fire spirit characteristics, greatly enhancing his fire resistance. The lava's damage to him was significantly reduced, allowing him to survive in the lava for a long time without being burned to death.

Moreover, he could be considered to have turned a disaster into a blessing. From now on, ordinary flames would find it hard to burn him, and his fire resistance would be greatly increased. If he practiced fire-based techniques in the future, it would be much easier, which was why the warriors rushed over.
