Chapter 269: It Was Wang Jianqiang Who Harmed You

Long before this, Ye Lingyun had already sensed the magma giant beast's covetousness toward him.

No.

To be precise, it should be covetousness toward the Spirit Flame within his body.

It was precisely because of this that the magma giant beast ignored Mu Lingxi and the others, choosing instead to chase and kill him.

The moment the Blue Flame fire beasts appeared.

He felt even more clearly that the Spirit Flame within his body had actually produced a sense of terror.

As if~

It had encountered a natural predator!

Therefore.

When he heard Qingcheng tell him to hold off the two Blue Flame fire beasts, he displayed a look of hesitation.

Seeing that Qingcheng had already released her suppression of the two Blue Flame fire beasts.

He could only grit his teeth and brace himself to charge up.

With a shift of his intent, a large saber appeared.

He pointed a finger at the saber, and raging Purple Flame enveloped the blade, slashing toward the two Blue Flame fire beasts.

Facing the attack of the large saber, the Blue Flame fire beasts opened their mouths in unison and inhaled.

The Purple Flame attached to the large saber actually detached from the blade one after another, and was then swallowed into the bodies of the Blue Flame fire beasts.

The Blue Flame fire beasts seemed to have eaten a great tonic, their momentum suddenly climbing.

At the same time, they swung their claws.

Having lost the reinforcement of the Spirit Flame, the power of the large saber plummeted.

It was swatted away by the combined force of the two Blue Flame fire beasts.

Immediately, the two Blue Flame fire beasts roared and charged straight toward him.

"They can actually swallow my Spirit Flame directly to enhance themselves!"

Ye Lingyun's heart jolted, and he dared not continue to employ the Spirit Flame.

He began to grapple with the two Blue Flame fire beasts.

……

Just as Ye Lingyun and the Blue Flame fire beasts erupted into battle.

The great battle between Qingcheng and the magma giant beast had also unfolded.

"Yuan Spirit Dao, Float!"

Her slender fingers formed a seal, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a faint sound like a dream-talk.

The magma giant beast's mountain-like body actually floated up uncontrollably.

"Yuan Spirit Dao, Suppress!"

Her hand seal shifted.

The floating force dissipated, and a downward suppressing force suddenly enveloped the magma giant beast.

The magma giant beast fell from high altitude instantly.

Boom!

The earth shook violently.

A mountain peak was crushed and collapsed by more than half in an instant.

Dense cracks immediately appeared on the magma giant beast's massive body.

Qingcheng's hand seal changed again.

A profound force gathered rapidly.

"Yuan Spirit Dao, Annihilate!"

Following a low voice that emanated from her mouth.

Powerful invisible forces surged from all directions toward the magma giant beast, squeezing it.

The terrifying force squeezed it until it could not move at all in an instant.

No matter how it struggled, it was difficult to break free.

Its mountain-like body even began to be unable to withstand it, slowly deforming.

The cracks on its body that had not yet had time to recover continued to spread and expand.

Seemingly sensing a fatal threat.

The magma giant beast roared again.

Following the sound of its roar.

The two Blue Flame fire beasts that were fighting Ye Lingyun paused in unison, then charged toward the sky without hesitation.

Ye Lingyun's expression tightened, and he was about to chase after them.

One Blue Flame fire beast suddenly stopped its movement and turned to charge toward Ye Lingyun instead.

The next moment.

This fire beast's body exploded directly.

A large amount of blue flame swept out.

Ye Lingyun's heart skipped a beat.

This blue flame could swallow Spirit Flame to strengthen itself.

He carried the Spirit Flame; once contaminated, the consequences would be far more serious than for an ordinary person!

Thinking of this, he dodged instinctively.

However, because of this, he completely lost the opportunity to intercept the other Blue Flame Fire Beast.

While he was dodging the blue flames.

The other Blue Flame Fire Beast flew rapidly to Qingcheng's side, its sharp claws swiping fiercely at her.

A scorching aura struck.

Qingcheng's expression tightened.

Having put all her energy into executing her killing move, it was only at this moment that she discovered the arrival of the Blue Flame Fire Beast.

"Daoist Friend Ye, what on earth are you doing!"

She shouted in shock and anger.

She could no longer afford to maintain her killing move.

Her hand seals changed.

"Yuan Spirit Dao, Repel!"

Just as the Blue Flame Fire Beast's claws were about to land on her dress, a Repulsive Force suddenly erupted.

The Blue Flame Fire Beast was instantly sent flying by the Repulsive Force.

Whoosh~

Before Qingcheng could even heave a sigh of relief.

A whistling sound suddenly came.

She turned her head to look, and was horrified to discover that the Magma Giant Beast, which had broken free from the suppression of her killing move, had already appeared beside her.

A giant mouth, like an abyss, reached out and swallowed her into its belly in one gulp.

……

Qingcheng!

Seeing this scene, Ye Lingyun's expression changed drastically.

He had finally managed to emerge from the shadow cast by those two sluts, Su Yutong and Yun Xin, and had begun to feel affection for a woman again.

He had not expected that she would encounter a life-and-death crisis before his very eyes so soon.

He knew very well that, given Qingcheng's strength, she likely would not perish in a short time even after being swallowed.

If he could cut open the Magma Giant Beast's body, perhaps he could still save her.

But……

This Magma Giant Beast was too strong.

And it happened to counter his Spirit Flame.

Under these circumstances, he had absolutely no chance of winning!

Forcibly fighting the Magma Giant Beast would only result in him losing his own life here as well.

"Qingcheng, I'm sorry."

"I truly do not have the ability to save you."

"But rest assured."

"You met with this disaster because you were helping me deal with Wang Jianqiang; it is he who caused your death."

"One day, I will personally slaughter Wang Jianqiang, then slay this Magma Giant Beast and refine its origin Spirit Flame to avenge you."

He took one last unwilling look at the Magma Giant Beast and turned to fly away.

The Magma Giant Beast roared and gave chase.

"This beast!"

Seeing this, Ye Lingyun's expression turned ugly.

He increased his speed to the limit.

Wang Yu Yao and the others watched this scene blankly, their expressions somewhat stunned.

"It should be because of the Spirit Flame."

Seeing the surprised looks of Wang Yu Yao and the others, Mu Lingxi spoke up, "That blue flame seems to possess the characteristic of devouring Spirit Flame, and Ye Lingyun happens to have Spirit Flame on him."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, everyone suddenly understood.

"That woman's strength is very high; if not for that pig teammate Ye Lingyun, perhaps she could have defeated the Magma Giant Beast on her own."

Just then, a look of admiration appeared on Jiang Xuan's face.

Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another.

They had watched the entire battle between Qingcheng and the Magma Giant Beast.

Under Qingcheng's killing move, the Magma Giant Beast had already been on the verge of collapse.

In five breaths of time at most, it would have inevitably crumbled completely.

Yet Ye Lingyun was cowardly and afraid of death, not daring to risk contact with the blue flames, and allowed that Blue Flame Fire Beast to attack her.

This ultimately led to her being swallowed by the Magma Giant Beast while caught off guard.

"If I am not mistaken, the reason Senior Brother has not appeared until now is likely because he was also accidentally swallowed into the belly of the Magma Giant Beast."

Just then, Mu Lingxi suddenly spoke.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, everyone was startled, and looks of worry appeared on their faces.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi shook her head, "Senior Brother's physique is formidable; he may not necessarily be in danger in the short term."

"Moreover, have you noticed that although the Magma Giant Beast's aura is shockingly strong, the strength it actually unleashed was not as powerful as one would imagine?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Xuan looked enlightened, "I had always felt something was wrong before, but now that you've pointed it out, I finally understand."

"The aura of this magma behemoth does not match its combat power."

Mu Lingxi nodded, "Therefore, I suspect that Senior Brother must be inside its body, holding back most of its power."

"It is precisely because it must expend power to deal with Senior Brother that the combat power it displays is so severely mismatched with that powerful aura."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, everyone's eyes instantly lit up.

After coming back to their senses, Wang Yu Yao said somewhat anxiously, "Since that is the case, let us hurry and give chase."

"With us restraining it from the outside, that magma behemoth will not be able to mobilize all its power to deal with Senior Brother."

"We can also share some of the pressure for Senior Brother."

Everyone nodded.

They chased in the direction where the magma behemoth and Ye Lingyun had departed.
