237: King of the Flame Python

Not long after Avril left, a scorching high temperature instantly struck, enveloping everyone. The entire world seemed to have turned into a furnace, wanting to refine everything in existence!

The Elder's heart tightened, knowing this was a precursor to a large-scale attack by the Yan Mang Clan.

He quickly scanned his surroundings, ensuring all team members were ready for battle.

The sky began to darken, crimson clouds rolled, and thunder roared, as if the entire world was trembling for the upcoming great battle.

In the distance, fiery red figures flickered in and out of the firelight. They were the powerhouses of the Yan Mang Clan, approaching with an unstoppable momentum.

"Prepare to meet the enemy! We must buy enough time! We cannot retreat, even if we all die!"

The Elder shouted again, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness.

"Roar, roar, roar~"

Following several roars that exploded in everyone's minds, crimson light began to gather in the sky, forming twisted spatial rifts. Several Yan Mang, like small mountains, flew out from them.

Their aura was even more surging and powerful than the previous Yan Mang, clearly indicating they were high-level existences within the Yan Mang Clan.

"Hmph, mere humans, daring to harm members of my clan! Today, you will pay with blood!"

The leading Yan Mang was enormous, radiating a high temperature capable of melting gold and stone. Its voice boomed like a volcanic eruption, causing everyone's eardrums to ache.

Its bloodthirsty eyes stared intently at the people below. Some of the people below didn't dare to meet its gaze.

Facing this unprecedented pressure, several Martial Lord Realm powerhouses among the crowd couldn't help but look solemn.

They exchanged glances, and without needing further words, they tacitly formed a formation, preparing to meet the impending fierce battle.

"Form the array!" The Elder low-growled, waving the long sword in his hand. A dazzling sword light streaked across the sky, instantly connecting the spiritual power of the surrounding people, forming a giant spiritual power shield that protected everyone within.

This was the confidence they had in coming here. Even a Peak Martial Lord Realm powerhouse's full force attack wouldn't be able to break this shield in a short time.

Seeing this, the powerhouses of the Yan Mang Clan let out mocking roars. They clearly didn't put this temporarily constructed defense in their eyes.

The leading high-level Yan Mang opened its massive mouth, and several giant pythons condensed from pure flame roared out, heading straight for the spiritual power shield, attempting to tear it apart.

Instantly, a suffocating heat filled the air. The vegetation on the ground quickly withered, and even the air seemed to be ignited.

"Humans, you not only dared to trespass on my King's territory, but you also killed powerhouses of my clan! Today, you will all pay the price!"

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the deafening roar of the high-level Yan Mang, the giant pythons condensed from pure flame struck the spiritual power shield with the force of thunder.

Immediately, the entire space seemed to be torn apart by the scorching flames. The roaring sound was deafening. The spiritual power shield rippled under the violent impact, its light flickering, appearing precarious.

"Hold on!" The Elder's expression remained unchanged. He stared resolutely at the sky above and the Yan Mang in the distance rushing towards them like a bloody tide. He knew the importance of this matter and that there could be no slightest mistake; they had to hold back the enemy.

The spiritual power within his body surged wildly, continuously injecting power into the shield. Not only did he have to defend against them, but he also had to launch attacks, so that the enemy wouldn't detect anything unusual.

The other Martial Lord Realm powerhouses also used all their abilities. Some sacrificed Magic Treasures, releasing dazzling light, attempting to weaken the attack of the flame pythons.

Others continuously launched attacks on the Yan Mang Clan powerhouses outside. For a time, various spiritual power fluctuations intertwined, forming a thrilling battle scene.

However, the high-level powerhouses of the Yan Mang Clan were not foolish. They jointly attacked, wanting to quickly deal with these people.

Immediately, the void fluctuated, and brilliant light reflected across the entire sky.

Their attacks became increasingly fierce, constantly changing the angle and intensity of their strikes, attempting to find a weakness in the spiritual power shield.

The scene fell into a brief stalemate, but on the tree canopy not far away, a figure had a smile on their face.

This person was none other than Li Wuji. He had not left with Avril.

A great battle was about to happen here. Regardless of the outcome, he could secretly devour the corpses and reap the benefits.

So, after leaving positioning marks on Avril, Jack, and the others, he ignored them and began to condense Gu worms to devour the corpses in the distance.

The corpses along the way alone had not only allowed him to fully recover but had also helped him break through his Realm.

Looking at the stalemate in the distance, Li Wuji nodded slightly, then looked in the direction from which the Yan Mang had come.

"That place should be empty right now, shouldn't it!"

Before the words fell, Li Wuji's body became ethereal and he merged into the shadows, escaping towards that place.

Under his full speed, he soon saw a vast and boundless land of lava. The ground was full of hot magma, like a fiery Hell.

The magma surged continuously, as if it had life, and small volcanoes erupted from time to time, intensely hot, making the air unbearably hot.

Even more scalp-numbing was that Yan Mang of various sizes were rapidly surging towards the people of Mosi Nation from all directions.

These Yan Mang had massive bodies, their scales shimmering with red light, and they spewed out raging fire from their mouths, emitting a suffocating heatwave.

With so many Yan Mang, even a Martial Lord powerhouse would find it difficult to resist and would likely be exhausted to death.

However, Li Wuji didn't care about the danger before him. He continued to fly towards the depths.

As he went deeper, the dense swarm of Yan Mang finally disappeared, replaced by a relatively calm scene.

It seemed this area hadn't been greatly affected, but before Li Wuji could observe carefully, terrifying auras suddenly came from the distance.

"How can there be so many powerful auras?"

Li Wuji was startled, a look of surprise on his face.

However, when he thought of the legendary saint medicine that could help people break through to the Martial King Realm, everything became clear.

For any race, this was an irresistible temptation.

Whether it was the Human Clan, demon beasts, Forbidden Land Creatures, or other Foreign Races, they would not hesitate to compete for this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Li Wuji's eyes immediately brightened, filled with anticipation and excitement.

He immediately accelerated, wanting to explore this mysterious Forbidden Ground as quickly as possible.

Soon, he saw a giant volcano towering into the clouds from afar.

"Is that the King Yan Mang?"

On the giant towering volcano, a massive Yan Mang with a single horn on its head, blood-red scales all over its body, and a pair of wings on its back stood proudly on the mountaintop.

"You ants dare to step into my King's territory, then don't leave.

Not only will this King break through, but I will also devour all of you, and then escape this cage!"
