125: Desperate Situation

“Ugh!”

A strong sense of numbness and a chilling energy instantly invaded Ruo Lin’s body, causing her movements to suddenly halt. The Dou Qi circulating within her body experienced a noticeable delay, and the condensed water arrow formation immediately scattered.

More Purple Flame threads, like sharks scenting blood, swarmed towards her.

“Instructor Ruo Lin!”

Mo Yuhan’s eyes were bloodshot as he watched Ruo Lin about to be completely bound by those deadly Purple Flame threads.

He abruptly stopped his flying form, purple-gold light bursting from his eyes, and the Xuan Huang Purple Flame within him surged and roared with unprecedented ferocity.

“First Spirit Ability: Xuan Huang Lion Flame Crash!”

Roar!

A low, majestic lion’s roar seemed to echo from ancient times.

A viscous, lava-like purple-gold flame instantly erupted from Mo Yuhan’s body. The flames furiously condensed and sculpted around his shoulders and forearms, forming the outline of a thick, ferocious flame armor resembling a lion’s mane.

The purple-gold flames flowed with a metallic luster, exuding a high temperature capable of incinerating all things and the savage might of the king of beasts.

He stomped his feet fiercely in the void, and the flame wings on his back erupted with dazzling light. His entire being transformed into a roaring purple-gold flame meteor, carrying a tragic, unyielding momentum, and slammed fiercely into the densest part of the Purple Flame threads that were Binding Ruo Lin.

Boom!

The purple-gold flame lion head collided violently with the sky full of Purple Flame threads.

It was like a meteor crashing into the deep sea.

A terrifying explosion occurred instantly.

The dazzling purple-gold flames, like a blooming flower of purgatory, frantically devoured and incinerated those chilling energy threads.

The “penetrating burn” characteristic of the Xuan Huang Purple Flame was unleashed to its fullest.

The flames did not merely burn on the surface; instead, like maggots clinging to bone, they furiously invaded and destroyed the core structure along the inside of the energy threads.

At the same time, the physical impact contained within the flame lion head also solidly struck the web of threads.

Crack! Sizzle!

The tough Purple Flame threads, under the burning of the strange flame and the violent impact, let out a wail of unbearable strain, breaking and melting in large sections.

The threads wrapped around Ruo Lin were also forcibly shaken loose by this violent impact! Ruo Lin felt her entire body lighten, and the chilling numbness quickly receded.

However, Yue Mei, who had unleashed “Charming Serpent Binding,” curved her lips into an even colder, more enchanting arc.

She seemed to have anticipated this, and the moment Mo Yuhan launched his attack, her jade foot, resting on the lake surface, lightly tapped.

“Little bug, an interesting flame… but unfortunately, your strength is too weak!”

“Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Skills: Snake Technique: Splitting Form!”

Her body suddenly blurred, as if a stone had been thrown into a reflection in water.

The next moment, three energy clones, entirely composed of pure purple Dou Qi and identical to her main body, instantly appeared on the flanks and behind Mo Yuhan’s attack trajectory.

The three clones simultaneously raised their jade hands, their fingertips condensing terrifying purple energy orbs, aimed at Mo Yuhan, whose movements were sluggish from the impact, his old strength spent and new strength not yet generated.

“Die!”

Three clones, plus the main body in the center of the lake, four cold voices overlapped, like a pronouncement of death.

Four purple orbs, containing the terrifying energy of a Dou King at peak, tore through the air, carrying destructive fluctuations, and formed a triangular formation, sealing off all of Mo Yuhan’s evasion space, as they shot towards him.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the sand beneath to silently collapse and melt.

“Yu Han!” Ruo Lin’s cry was filled with despair.

The shadow of death instantly loomed.

Mo Yuhan’s pupils constricted into needlepoints! All the blood in his body seemed to rush to his heart.

In this desperate moment, all the potential within him was completely ignited.

The Xuan Huang Purple Flame roared wildly, and the residual power of the Purple Crystal Source surged through his meridians.

He suddenly brought his hands together in front of his chest. All the violent flame power within him—the profound essence of Xuan Huang Flame, the savage ferocity of Purple Flame, the pure condensation of Soul Power, and the surging power of Dou Qi—were forcibly blended and compressed by his soul power at this moment.

“Third Spirit Ability: Crimson Crystal Furnace! Condense for me!”

Buzz—!

A fist-sized fireball, with a core like molten crimson-gold lava and an outer layer covered in a thick Xuan Huang-colored energy crystal shell, instantly appeared between his palms.

On the crystal shell, purple-gold patterns flowed wildly, emitting destructive fluctuations that made one’s soul tremble. The surrounding air was twisted and ignited by the extreme heat, producing crackling explosions.

He had no time to throw this highly compressed, terrifying fireball, as three purple orbs were already upon him.

At the brink of life and death, a hint of madness flashed in Mo Yuhan’s eyes. His arm muscles bulged, veins protruding, and he actually pressed this extremely unstable “Crimson Crystal Furnace,” which could explode at any moment, fiercely towards the nearest purple orb in front of him.

“Explode!”

Boom!!!!!!!!!!

A terrifying explosion, beyond words, erupted beneath the desert night sky.

The moment the Crimson Crystal Furnace collided with the purple orb, the destructive energy, accumulated to its limit, was completely detonated.

It was like a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years erupting at this moment.

A purple-gold fireball, over ten zhang in diameter, appeared out of thin air, instantly engulfing the three energy clones and the orbs they had unleashed.

The dazzling light made the bright moon in the sky pale in comparison, and a destructive shockwave, mixed with viscous, lava-like purple-gold flames, swept wildly in all directions like a tsunami.

The sand beneath was instantly vaporized, forming a bottomless giant pit, and the sand at the edges melted, forming a crimson, glazed substance! The scorching heat instantly ignited the poplar forest hundreds of zhang away, turning it into a sea of fire.

“Pfft—!”

Even with the Xuan Huang Flame protecting him, Mo Yuhan was violently thrown back by the shockwave of the close-range explosion.

He was flung backward like a kite with a broken string, and the blood spewing from his mouth traced a tragic arc in the air.

His clothes instantly turned to ash, his skin was scorched and cracked over large areas, and excruciating tearing pain came from his meridians.

The Reincarnation Grass in his hand almost flew out.

Instructor Ruo Lin was also hit by the terrifying aftershock of the explosion. As if struck by a giant hammer, her aqua-blue protective Dou Qi instantly shattered, blood gushed from her mouth, and her body was thrown far away like a broken sack. “Hmm?”

Yue Mei’s main body, standing in the center of the lake and directly participating in the attack, for the first time showed genuine surprise in her rhombus-shaped purple pupils the moment the destructive purple-gold fireball appeared.

The terrifying high temperature and domineering will contained within the flames, seemingly capable of incinerating the origin of all things, caused even her to feel a hint of trepidation.

She instinctively set up a thick purple energy barrier in front of her.

Boom!

The destructive shockwave slammed into the energy barrier, producing a deafening roar! The barrier vibrated violently, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

Yue Mei’s body was also pushed back several zhang across the lake surface by this immense force.

She looked at the rising purple-gold mushroom cloud that illuminated half the desert, a hint of solemnity and disbelief flashing in her eyes: “This flame… is definitely not an ordinary beast flame! This kid…”

However, how could the pride of a Dou King expert tolerate desecration by an ant?

After a brief moment of shock, an even more surging rage followed.

“Ant! How dare you injure me!”

Yue Mei’s voice was bone-chilling, filled with monstrous killing intent. She no longer held anything back, slamming her snake tail fiercely against the lake surface!

Boom!

A massive amount of lake water was blasted high into the sky by the terrifying force.

Yue Mei’s figure vanished from her original spot as if by Teleportation. The next moment, she had already appeared above Mo Yuhan, who had just fallen onto the scorching sand and was struggling to get up.

She looked down from above at the blood-soaked, weakened young man below, her purple rhombus pupils holding nothing but pure, icy killing intent.
