"Going after Yun Shan?"
Hearing Mo Yu's suggestion, Queen Medusa paused briefly, her charming face flashing with a trace of displeasure.
In her eyes, Mo Yu's suggestion implied a lack of confidence in her power, urging her to turn against Yun Shan instead of confronting the powerful figure before them.
As the proud queen of the snake people, she despised the notion of retreating without a fight, even if her opponent was exceptionally strong.
For a moment, Queen Medusa's gaze toward Mo Yu held a hint of murderous intent.
Seeing her apparent anger, Mo Yu was taken aback but quickly caught on, smiling as he explained, "You misunderstand. It's not that I doubt your strength; rather, I have a plan to deal with Protector Wu. But I'll need Xiao Yan's help, so I hope you can understand."
Surprised by her reaction, Mo Yu took on a gentle tone to explain himself carefully.
After listening to him, Queen Medusa's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She stared deeply at Mo Yu, considering his words before finally agreeing to go, heading toward the battlefield between Xiao Yan and Yun Shan with some skepticism.
As Queen Medusa departed, She Lao questioned, "Boy, do you really have a way to overcome this situation?"
"Relax, She Lao. I wouldn't make such claims without reason," Mo Yu said calmly.
Hearing this, She Lao asked no more, already familiar with Mo Yu's cautious nature. He would never fight without preparation.
If Mo Yu was confident, then She Lao would let him proceed. And if things went awry, he was prepared to burn the last of his bloodline to help Mo Yu escape, even if it meant falling into a deep slumber.
After Queen Medusa took over in dealing with Yun Shan, freeing Yao Lao, Yun Shan attempted to intercept but soon realized he was no match for both fighters and let Yao Lao go.
Protector Wu, noticing the swiftly approaching "Xiao Yan," let out a sinister laugh instead of showing concern.
"Aura of the Bone Chilling Flame… So it is you, Yao Chen. You actually came willingly this time. You were lucky to escape us back then, but not without costing our Hall of Souls greatly. Today, capturing you will certainly delight our Hall Master."
The cloaked Protector Wu sneered, his laugh filled with malice.
"You filthy Hall of Souls rats! You helped that traitorous Han Feng ambush me back then, and today, it's time to settle the score!"
'Xiao Yan's' gaze turned cold as he stared at the figure enshrouded in black mist, his voice radiating anger and killing intent.
"Had you retained your body, this protector might fear you. But in this mere soul form? Heh, you're no match for me," Protector Wu taunted. After devouring the souls of seven peak Dou Kings, his strength was surging with dark energy.
Ignoring Protector Wu's growing power, 'Xiao Yan' frowned slightly and turned to Mo Yu.
"Boy, you called for Queen Medusa to take over. What's your plan? You should realize that, even with the support of the mighty figure behind you, we'll still struggle to kill Protector Wu."
"Senior, after devouring the souls of seven peak Dou Wang, Protector Wu's power has risen to that of a high-level Dou Zong. In your current state, both you and She Lao may not be able to match him. But if Xiao Yan and I work together, we have one strike that could force him back—maybe even kill him!"
"You and Xiao Yan, defeat Protector Wu?"
The surprise in 'Xiao Yan's' expression was evident. Protector Wu's current power made it dangerous even for him, yet this young man before him seemed confident in defeating him—something even successors of the major Central Plains factions might not manage.
Seeing Mo Yu's calm and steady demeanor, Yao Lao felt a sudden pang of age in his bones. "Very well, every generation surpasses the previous one. I'll leave this matter to you and Xiao Yan, but don't leave us with a mess to clean up."
After that, Xiao Yan's eyes shifted from their prior green and white glow back to their natural black, as Yao Lao released control of his body to him.
"Cousin, I'm afraid I can't help you against this guy," Xiao Yan said, now in control of his body, glancing at Protector Wu, shrouded in dark mist, before giving Mo Yu a wry smile.
In response, Mo Yu gestured toward the ruined Yun Lan Sect, grinning. "Xiao Yan, don't underestimate yourself. Or have you forgotten who caused such destruction here?"
"You mean… the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened briefly. "But, while powerful, the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame alone wouldn't be enough against Protector Wu."
Despite being only a Da Dou Shi, Xiao Yan's spirit energy was strong, and he understood that while the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame could work against someone like Yun Shan, a newly advanced Dou Zong, it was unlikely to handle a high-level Dou Zong like Protector Wu.
Seeing Xiao Yan's hesitation, Mo Yu didn't explain further. Instead, he held out his hand, summoning a red bolt of thunderous flame.
"The Angry Buddha Lotus Flame alone may not be enough, but what if we combine it with this Thunder Soul?"
Thunder crackled ominously around the crimson flame in Mo Yu's palm as he added, "You may remember this Thunder Soul from our time in Wu Tan City. I stumbled upon its core by chance, and though it was weak at the time, after years of cultivation, it has grown into its current form. My guess is that the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder is now on par with any common Heavenly Flame."
"Now, if we combine your Green Lotus Core Flame and Bone Chilling Flame with my Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, Protector Wu will either be defeated or left barely standing."
"Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder… on par with a Heavenly Flame…"
Xiao Yan's gaze fixed on the thunderous flame in Mo Yu's hand, filled with awe.
A few years back, this Thunder Soul seemed only slightly stronger than an ordinary beast flame, yet within three years, it had grown to rival a Heavenly Flame. Such a rapid evolution was astonishing.
He knew Heavenly Flames took countless years to form, yet Mo Yu's Thunder Soul had reached its current power in three short years—an incredible feat.
After his initial shock, a hint of joy flickered in Xiao Yan's eyes. Two Heavenly Flames and a Thunder Soul, combined—perhaps they could defeat Protector Wu!
But then, a bit embarrassed, Xiao Yan muttered, "But, Mo Yu… my current level of spiritual control isn't enough to fuse two Heavenly Flames with your Thunder Soul…"
When he first crafted the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, Xiao Yan only managed it by pure luck. Adding another Thunder Soul into the mix was something he had no confidence in doing safely. Any error would endanger not only himself but Mo Yu and Yao Lao as well.
Mo Yu, however, simply smiled and waved off his concerns. "No worries. Just fuse the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame—you can leave the rest to me."
Xiao Yan's eyes showed a glimmer of shock, his usually calm demeanor faltering. Fusing the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder required an extraordinary level of spiritual control, one even Yao Lao, a top alchemist on the continent, couldn't achieve.
This was a technique so perilous that it nearly cost him his life the first time, yet Mo Yu seemed unfazed.
Could he be so confident, or simply naive? Xiao Yan recalled Mo Yu's towering figure in his mind and chose, without hesitation, to believe in him.
Noticing Xiao Yan's brief doubt, Mo Yu chuckled. He'd mastered similar Thunder Soul fusion techniques in his past life, sometimes juggling up to seven flames at once. To him, this technique was already second nature.
On the other side, Protector Wu watched Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's power suddenly wane, laughing coldly, "Heh, are the young ones taking over the fight? Surrendering already?"
Seeing the terrifying aura from the Thunder Soul in Mo Yu's hand, Protector Wu's eyes shifted uneasily. Nonetheless, he sneered, "Boy, hand over that Thunder Soul and the soul behind you. Perhaps I could let you join my faction…"
Mo Yu maintained a calm expression despite the intense pressure from Protector Wu's attempt to lure him in.
"Perhaps a prominent figure has set their eyes on what you possess. It might just bring you rapid advancement," Protector Wu said enticingly.
In response, Mo Yu shook his head and coldly retorted, "No need. The Hall of Souls's sneaky and underhanded ways are utterly incompatible with my character."
"You—!" Protector Wu's face darkened as Mo Yu insulted the Hall of Souls. His entire body became enveloped in a black mist, a suffocating pressure spreading around him like a creeping tide.
"Fine! I'd love to see what gives a brat like you the audacity to say that!"
With those words, Protector Wu's sinister laughter echoed as he shot forward, streaking through the air straight toward Mo Yu.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly glanced over at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice, "Cousin Xiao Yan, Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, now!"
Recognizing the dire situation, Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. Two flames—one blue and the other white—flashed into existence in his palm. Under his careful control, they slowly began to merge.
Xiao Yan had mastered the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame technique after repeated use, and in just a few moments, a resplendent, terrifying blue-and-white fire lotus floated into the air.
Despite having successfully formed the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, Xiao Yan showed no joy. He knew that the real challenge lay in merging it with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder next.
Handing the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame to Mo Yu, Xiao Yan said gravely, "Brother Mo Yu, the rest is up to you."
"Don't worry; we'll all make it out safely this time!"
With that, Mo Yu took the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame in his left hand and raised the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder in his right. He quickly brought his hands together.
Xiao Yan's eyes widened in shock as he watched Mo Yu's direct and forceful merging process. Although the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame wasn't repelled by Mo Yu due to Xiao Yan's lingering aura, combining it with the volatile Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder was still dangerously reckless.
Heavenly Flames were some of the most violent forces in the world, and while he knew little about the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, its name alone suggested a comparable level of destructiveness.
Yet here was Mo Yu, merging these two explosive forces with his bare hands. A mix of worry and anticipation surged in Xiao Yan's heart.
Naturally, the unfolding scene had attracted plenty of attention. Onlookers were struck with horror as they witnessed Mo Yu combining his fiery lotus with an equally terrifying thunder flame.
"Madness! He's absolutely insane!"
Among the onlookers, Hai Bodong and Fa Ma immediately unfurled their Dou Qi wings, retreating as they shouted in alarm.
The Angry Buddha Lotus Flame alone was fearsome enough, having annihilated the Yun Lan Sect and killed Yun Leng. Now, adding a fearsome thunder flame would be like pouring oil on a raging fire.
If this fusion succeeded, it could very well tear half of the Yun Lan Mountain to shreds.
Both Queen Medusa and Yun Shan paused their fight, staring at the fusion process in Mo Yu's hands. A hint of astonishment crossed Queen Medusa's alluring face. She had seen the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame's destructive power firsthand, a force even she would avoid.
But now, with an unknown thunder flame added, even she couldn't suppress her surprise.
In contrast, Yun Shan's expression was dark and grim. After barely surviving one Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, his Yun Lan Sect was already in shambles. Another, even more potent attack could mean the sect's complete annihilation.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Shan gathered his Dou Qi, transforming it into a white beam that sliced through the purple-gold snake ring restraining Yun Yun.
"Yun Yun, evacuate the disciples from the sect!"
While the grand halls of the Yun Lan Sect were invaluable, its disciples were its heart. Without them, the sect would suffer an irreparable blow, even if they rebuilt the halls later!
Upon regaining her freedom, Yun Yun looked over at Mo Yu, who was wholly focused on fusing the fire lotus with the Thunder Soul. The dazzling light cast on his face made him appear enchantingly fierce.
She was struck by a sense of disbelief at the sight of this young man who had once hidden behind her three years ago, now powerful enough to destroy the Yun Lan Sect. Yet, this was no time to dwell on the past. Gazing at the terrifying lotus in his hands, Yun Yun frowned, exhaled softly, and unfurled her Dou Qi wings, moving quickly to arrange the evacuation of the disciples.
"Hah! This kid truly doesn't know his place!"
Sensing the violent energy coming from Mo Yu, Protector Wu sneered contemptuously.
However, his expression abruptly shifted a moment later as he noticed the growing intensity in Mo Yu's three-colored thunder fire. In the eyes of countless spectators, the flames and thunder slowly condensed into a palm-sized crimson, blue, and white lotus of thunder…
As the lotus fully formed, Mo Yu's lips curved in a faint smile. He gazed down at the three-colored thunder lotus in his hand, murmuring, "It worked."
Realizing the danger, Protector Wu's eyes flashed with panic, and he instinctively turned to retreat.
Watching Protector Wu's hurried escape, Mo Yu sneered, hurling the red, blue, and white thunder flame lotus with a decisive shout, "Thunder God Flame Lotus!"
Silently, the tri-colored flame lotus streaked through the sky without so much as stirring the air. Yet, the sight alone was enough to make Protector Wu's dark mist dissipate, as if touched by sunlight.
As the Thunder God Flame Lotus closed in on Protector Wu, a mere twenty meters away, the calm lotus abruptly turned volatile, contracting and expanding as its terrifying energy of fire and thunder began to surge uncontrollably.
Then…
A thunderous explosion erupted in the sky.
"Boom!"
Annihilating energy spread across the sky, sending ripples through the void. These ripples cascaded outward, and Yun Lan Mountain shattered with a sound as smooth as a mirror's surface breaking apart…
