Chapter 1188 Battle Against the Demon King at Crimson Flame Volcano (2)
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.
The magma in the crater churned violently, and seven more powerful auras slowly rose from it.
Uh!
A demon king was lurking inside the magma of the volcano?
“There are far more than seventeen demon kings!” Yu Shuheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing seriousness for the first time.
The seven newly appeared demon kings each had a different form, but their auras were several times stronger than before.
The leader was a red-haired woman who was half-human and half-snake; her body had beautiful, flowing lines, like dancing flames.
Her skin was a vibrant red, as fiery as a burning flame.
Her red hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin and radiating a captivating glow.
Her head was that of a snake, with sharp fangs protruding from the corners of her mouth, gleaming coldly.
Her eyes were like burning flames, revealing a charming yet ruthless light.
Her eyes were full of defiance and confidence, as if telling everyone that she was invincible.
Her body was covered in a layer of scales that shimmered with a dark golden luster. These scales clung tightly to her skin, as if they were a second skin. The patterns on the scales were delicate and intricate, like ancient runes, exuding an aura of mystery.
As she lazily stretches her body, every movement is full of allure and charm.
Her waist swayed as if she were performing a deadly dance, captivating all who beheld her.
However, beneath her alluring exterior lies a ruthless heart.
Her smile revealed a coldness and ruthlessness that sent chills down one's spine. Only those who knew her truly understood how terrifying she was!
"Hehe! Long time no see, human."
The red-haired woman's voice was alluring, yet carried a chilling edge, "Lava, you're too slow. You can't even handle a few little kids."
The Lava Giant Ape lowered its head: "Lord Crimson Serpent, these people are rather strange."
The Crimson Serpent Demon King's gaze swept over the four people, finally settling on Su Xiaoya's Chaos Five Elements Sword. "Oh? Chaotic Qi... Interesting. I'll take that sword."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.
Su Xiaoya felt a deadly crisis approaching and instinctively raised her sword to block. "Clang!" With the sound of metal clashing, she was sent flying more than ten feet away, and the Chaos Five Elements Sword almost slipped from her hand.
So fast!
So strong!
The Crimson Demon King extended his scarlet tongue, gently licking those blood-red lips, his eyes gleaming with a greedy and cruel light: "Hmm... your reaction is quite quick, but this is far from enough to satisfy me!"
Before she finished speaking, her figure flickered and vanished from the spot like a ghost.
At the same time, an invisible pressure suddenly descended upon Yu Shuheng, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him.
Faced with this sudden change, Yu Shuheng did not show any panic. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
The moment Chi Lian appeared, the previously calm void suddenly rippled, as if being kneaded and manipulated by an invisible giant hand, and began to twist and fold violently.
In the blink of an eye, an enormous spatial cage had taken shape, trapping Chi Lian firmly within it.
"With such meager skills, you dare to attempt to trap me? You're simply overestimating yourself!"
Trapped in the spatial cage, Chi Lian let out a sinister and piercing laugh. The hideous snake tail behind her suddenly lashed out, and with a loud "bang," the entire spatial cage instantly collapsed, turning into countless fragments that flew in all directions.
As the spatial cage shattered, Yu Shuheng let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of blood slowly flowed from his seven orifices.
Clearly, he suffered considerable injuries due to forcibly casting this level of spatial magic and the resulting spatial backlash.
"Shuheng!" Upon seeing this, Su Mingyi and Langlang, who had been watching the battle for a long time, were both shocked and couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
Immediately afterwards, they unleashed their most skilled techniques, launching a fierce and unparalleled attack on Chi Lian.
In an instant, a jet-black sword of annihilation, exuding a chilling aura, hurtled towards them like lightning; on the other side, a raging fiery dragon roared and lunged forward, baring its fangs and claws.
In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed and flames soared into the sky, creating a spectacular and breathtaking scene.
However, Chi Lian remained calm and composed in the face of the combined attack from Su Mingyi and Lang Lang, without even lifting her eyelids.
With a casual wave of her hand, a dark golden, transparent light shield appeared in front of her, easily blocking the two powerful attacks.
Su Xiaoya struggled to her feet, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth: "We can't fight head-on, we have to think of a way."
"A solution? Your only options are to submit or die." The Crimson Serpent Demon King chuckled, while simultaneously ordering the other demon kings, "Kill everyone except the girl with the Chaos Sword."
The demon kings pounced on them simultaneously like hungry tigers!
The four men stood back to back as if facing a formidable enemy, confronting a tide of foe surging from all directions. The situation had reached a dead end.
"It seems that we have no other choice but to use that trick," Su Mingyi suddenly murmured.
Yu Shuheng frowned: "You haven't fully mastered the Sword Intent of Annihilation yet. Forcing its use will..."
"We can't worry about that now!" Su Mingyi interrupted him, a desperate glint in his eyes. "Little girl, unite the five elements and lend me a hand!"
Su Xiaoya understood immediately and nodded emphatically without hesitation.
The Chaos Five Elements Sword was raised high above the head like a pillar supporting the sky, and five colors of light surged into the sword like a flood bursting its banks.
"The Five Elements reversed, and chaos was created!"
The five lights on the sword blended together, transforming into a hazy, chaotic aura that flowed into Su Mingyi's body like a dragon emerging from the sea.
Su Mingyi's body trembled violently, and the black light on the Annihilation Sword surged like a volcanic eruption, spreading an aura of death ten times stronger than before like a plague.
His eyes were as black as black holes, and his voice seemed to come from the deepest hell: "The final move of the Annihilation Sword Technique - All Things Return to Nothingness!"
Black sword energy erupted from him like a nuclear explosion, surging in all directions like a raging torrent.
Wherever it passed, rocks turned to dust like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, magma cooled instantly as if its soul had been sucked out, and even the air seemed to have lost its vitality.
The three demon kings that were attacked first didn't even have time to let out a shrill, chilling scream. Like fragile chickens and dogs, they instantly turned into countless tiny ashes and scattered away.
Seeing this, the other demon kings were terrified and retreated in all directions. Even the usually cold and ruthless Chi Lian couldn't help but change her expression and hurriedly used her most powerful defensive spell to try to withstand this terrifying attack.
However, the price paid for this astonishing sword strike was also extremely heavy.
After Su Mingyi completed this move, he fell straight down from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
Fortunately, Yu Shuheng reacted quickly and managed to catch him with all his might, but Su Mingyi had already fallen into a deep coma and was in critical condition with very weak breathing.
Mingyi! Langlang's eyes widened, almost bursting out of their sockets, his face filled with grief and anger.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoya, having overexerted herself with the power of the five elements, was extremely weak and could only kneel on one knee to support herself, almost unable to hold onto her long sword.
As the black sword energy gradually dissipated, three of the many demon kings who had gathered there had already met their demise, and the remaining demon kings had all suffered some injuries.
However, several of the most powerful demon kings, led by Chi Lian, were still alive. They stared at the group of enemies before them with menacing intent, their eyes flashing with a chilling killing intent.
The Crimson Serpent Demon King's face grew increasingly grim and ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "What a powerful Annihilation Sword Technique... It's just a pity that you don't have enough strength left to unleash a second strike, do you?"
After saying that, she slowly approached the crowd step by step, exuding a strong killing intent that sent chills down their spines.
The whirlpool at the center of the lava lake continued to expand, and the ancient and terrifying aura grew stronger. All the demon kings, including Chi Lian, knelt on the ground in terror, not daring to raise their heads.
Yu Shuheng's pupils contracted sharply; he had never felt such a powerful aura before.
At the center of the vortex, a gigantic claw covered in lava slowly extends, like a demon rising from the depths of hell.
The lava on its claws shimmered with intense heat, as if it could burn everything.
Immediately afterwards, a second claw extended.
Then came a head as large as a mountain. The head was covered with thick lava, like burning flames, and its crimson-gold eyes were like two suns, radiating dazzling light.
The fire dragon's body was enormous, its scales shimmering with a metallic luster, each one as hard as a shield.
Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky, as if it could stir up the wind and clouds. The dragon spewed forth raging flames, distorting the surrounding air with their heat.
"Who... has disturbed my slumber..." The fire dragon's voice boomed like thunder, shaking the entire volcano. Its gaze swept over the crowd, filled with boundless majesty and fury.
The Crimson Serpent Demon King trembled as he replied, "Great Ancestor of All Demons, it was these few humans who trespassed into the sacred land, and we are currently eliminating them..."
Her voice was filled with fear, as if she were facing an irresistible force.
A hint of disdain flashed in the fire dragon's eyes. It coldly said, "A mere human dares to trespass into my sacred land? He is simply courting death." Its voice, like a booming bell, echoed in the air.
Yu Shuheng and the others felt the power of the fire dragon, and they were speechless!
So, what is the sealing of the Taotie?
Actually, it's about sealing away a fire dragon?
The secret realms are all nested within each other!
Why are the seals all nested inside each other?
Those crimson-gold eyes turned to the four of them, and all the demon kings within sight prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling slightly.
This is... a being far surpassing the Demon King!
The behemoth stood up completely, revealing itself to be the legendary ancient lava dragon—the fire dragon, a legendary ancient ferocious beast that was thought to be extinct!
It looked down at the four people who were like ants and slowly spoke: "Chaotic energy... spatial fluctuations... the intent of annihilation... and pure fire spirit... interesting."
Gu Long's gaze finally settled on Su Xiaoya: "Little girl, where did the sword in your hand come from?"
Su Xiaoya focused her gaze and straightened her back: "Senior, this sword is a legacy from our sect."
"Sect?" Gu Long seemed to be recalling something. "Could it be the Five Elements Sword Sect?"
Su Xiaoya was stunned. She had only made it up on the spot, how could it have...?
However, Su Xiaoya wouldn't expose her weakness, so she directly asked back, trying to get some information out of him: "Does the senior know?"
Gu Long let out a deep laugh, which shook the entire volcano: "I know more than just that... that old fellow, the Five Elements Sword Saint, still owes me a pot of wine."
His words stunned everyone.
The fire dragon's enormous body began to shrink, eventually transforming into an old man in a red robe, with red hair and beard, and eyes as golden as gold.
He walked up to Su Xiaoya and carefully examined the Chaos Five Elements Sword.
"It really is that old man's legacy... It's a pity he's no longer here, is it?"
Su Xiaoya respectfully replied, "Master, I ascended to immortality 100,000 years ago..."
Anyway, anything could have happened during the extraterrestrial invasion 100,000 years ago, so just push!
Fire dragon... no, the old man in red robes sighed, "They're all gone, leaving only this old codger to guard this volcano."
Uh!
A lucky accident!
However, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Why fight when a peaceful solution can be found?
The fire dragon turned to the kneeling demon kings and said, "Step back. These are the descendants of old friends. Do not be rude."
The Crimson Serpent Demon King dared not disobey and respectfully retreated with his fellow demon kings, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The old man then looked at the four people, ignoring Huang Niao and Xuan She: "What brings you to the Ten Thousand Demon Volcano?"
Yu Shuheng stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior, we have come for the 'Firewood'."
"Firewood?" The old man raised an eyebrow. "I thought you came for the 'Earth Core Fire Lotus'? That's a rare treasure that blooms only once every ten thousand years, and it's currently in bloom."
He paused, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Since you're already here, why not participate in the test? After all, that old man's successor can't be too weak. Besides, you definitely won't regret it!"
The four looked at each other, having just survived a life-or-death battle, now facing the unfathomable test of the fire dragon.
But the old man showed no ill intent; on the contrary, he seemed pleased to have met an old friend.
So, does this mean we have to participate even if we don't want to?
call!
I've never seen anyone so eager to offer up an opportunity.
