Hoo——
The dragon of true fire blazed through first, careening straight towards its own troops.
Wherever the fire dragon passed, soldiers were instantly roasted into shadowy silhouettes in the flames, unable even to scream before their bones were turned to nothingness, and their weapons melted into ooze.
Disaster Flame, it could burn even stones into green smoke.
It could even ignite others’ Consciousness Souls. Legend has it that the Disaster Beasts consume no food; they feast on fire, leaving a trail of wildfires in their wake.
Creatures burned to d*ath would be sucked into its belly, eternally plummeting into the infernal fire pit.
Even powerful beings wouldn’t dare get too close without some special protection.
What’s more, even though Li Mo maintained a military formation’s ferocity, he hadn’t yet condensed his internal energy; his consciousness was still stuck in the Observation Realm.
“This fire is coming for me.”
With the fire dragon targeting him, a realization dawned on Li Mo.
“Ice Chunk!”
Li Mo shouted at the top of his lungs.
On the city wall, the cool, ethereal figure seemed to shudder slightly, grasping the young hero’s intent.
She bit her lip, closed her eyes, and adjusted the military formation.
The black-scaled dragon formed by the cavalry still fought tooth and nail with the giant serpent statue.
Li Mo, however, had broken free from the military formation!
How could a mere being in the Observation Realm traverse the battlefield once separated from the formation?
But at this moment, there was no one else nearby to impede him.
“Is he… not running away?”
One of the leaders of the Disaster Beasts blinked in disbelief.
As Li Mo broke away from the formation, those who witnessed this instant subconsciously thought he was trying to escape the army, going solo.
Several experts were already preparing to intercept him.
Yet, Li Mo boldly charged right at the fire dragon!
“Little one, you’re asking for d*ath! The National Teacher won’t blame me for not leaving you in one piece!”
The bronze giant of the Disaster Beasts was absolutely thrilled.
If he could swallow this kid’s Consciousness Soul, he could force him to reveal all his secrets with the flames of torment.
Even a cast-iron body would struggle under that intensity.
Bang——
In an instant, Li Mo crashed into the fire dragon, his armor practically glowing from the heat.
He activated the Flames of Karma Red Lotus technique; instead of being consumed by the flames, his body shone brighter and brighter, radiating like the sun.
His gaze seemed to burn with the light of blazing fire.
Celestial bodies are immune to both water and fire!
The laughter of the bronze giant abruptly ceased.
Can’t be burned?
Even what was supposed to be an extraordinary physique in the Observation Realm wasn’t enough to withstand the raging flame.
It probably never imagined that someone would jump into a pill furnace, refining themselves alongside a gold core!
Not just his flesh, but even his Consciousness Soul had once faced the burn of wicked flames! Instead, it flared up even more in the fire!
“Like a lotus growing in the fire, defying d*ath, yet can cultivate gold in flames.”
Li Mo recalled this mantra.
This was the first line of the core principle of the Flame Heart Lotus technique, and it had been preserved in the “Karma Flames Red Lotus Method.”
What fear does true gold have of being forged in fire?
The principle of overcoming the strong with the weak, as told in the secrets of battle, relies on ‘will’!
His Consciousness Soul now? There’s no way such petty flames could extinguish it!
The red celestial nugget in his Dantian suddenly burst forth with brilliant light, becoming the main star among the Seven Stars.
A thin layer of flames spread out from his Dantian, burning away the nearby wicked flames, causing them to warp and dissipate.
At this very moment.
The two types of flames entwined, with one continuously burning the other to oblivion.
The bronze giant was shocked, trying to retract the wicked flames, but that burning figure unrelentingly followed the fire dragon back.
That image—both body and soul ablaze—flew into the mouth of the bronze giant.
Everyone’s hearts hung in their throats.
The next second.
Hoo——
The bronze giant suddenly began to thrash about, trying every means to regurgitate what was in its belly, but nothing worked, and the karma flames intensified within it.
Those who play with fire will inevitably burn themselves.
The Disaster Beasts that wreaked havoc everywhere ultimately became engulfed by the flames.
It was on fire.
Clang——
Its abdomen bulged and, after three intense hits, finally exploded.
A figure still wreathed in flames surged out.
The Disaster Beasts and warriors dared not obstruct it; to those who revered fire, Li Mo’s act of burning the Disaster Beasts felt divine!
“Young Hero Li! Young Hero Li!”
“Charge forward, welcome Young Hero Li back into the formation!”
Cheers erupted from the city wall, shaking the heavens.
Young Hero Li’s actions were intertwined with the fates of each and every one of them; on the battlefield, his prowess led them to believe that the scales of victory would always tilt in their favor.
Indeed, he never ceases to amaze.
On the city tower.
“Hoo…”
Ying Bing watched the young man break through the bronze giant’s defenses and finally return to her sight, letting out a silent sigh of relief.
Playing soothing notes on her zither, she once again commanded the military formation to shift.
The black-scaled dragon welcomed their commander!
And every Qingmu Knight surged with gusto, resolutely piercing through with all their might!
Even though the dragon was headless, many comrades had perished while fighting the giant statue and enemies on the battlefield, they all held an unwavering belief in victory at this moment.
“Just come back, just come back.”
Qu Sheng stroked his bulging white robe, his admiration for Li Mo deepening.
He was certain that while charging through the blazing inferno, Li Mo didn’t know he would come out unscathed, but he still stood in front of the soldiers.
Leading from the front was the mark of a true warrior.
Qu Sheng, having been a commander for so long, hadn’t daringly charged into battle, but seeing the young man’s spirit, he felt he’d rediscovered his former self.
How could he bring shame to Qingmu City or the lord?
“Brothers, follow me, let’s slaughter and unite with Young Hero Li!”
On the city wall, the whirring sound of the army’s crossbow once again echoed, swiftly slicing the battlefield, revealing a brief vacuum from the rear enemy troops rushing to assist.
“Young Hero Li! All my brothers will follow you next; can you handle it?”
Qu Sheng’s booming voice resonated.
“I can handle it!”
Li Mo exhaled what felt like burning soot, answering without looking back.
But soon, a hint of doubt surfaced in his mind.
His troops followed him.
But where was Commander Qu?
The battlefield had plunged into a furious bloodbath.
Every second brought lives crushed to dust.
Closer and closer.
The black-scaled dragon, with Li Mo as its head, had already surpassed the frontline and become a spear piercing deep into the enemy ranks, determined to breach them.
His fighting spirit surged even more.
A warrior against thousands, armored to the teeth had the right to roam the battlefield.
“Could he really charge into the center?”
“That divine will…”
Han Zhen’s arm had bled completely red.
How could a mere being in the Observation Realm withstand the full might of their armored forces?
Was he not tired?
What bewildered Han Zhen even more was that divine shadow.
That fighting spirit, so powerful it could break the heavens, was anything but trivial.
The form of a great deity.
Was that a monkey clad in golden chain mail, holding a steel rod?
He had never heard of such in his thousands of experiences.
Where did this great deity spring from?
It was this divine form, with its unstoppable fighting spirit, turning more ferocious with each battle, embodying a thousand fighters.
“It’s time to prepare.”
Han Zhen murmured, and then loudly declared:
“What are you all waiting for? Get to it!”
“Whoever kills this brat will earn a spot at the front of the Bronze Tree! Let the crowds from eight sides pay homage!”
Boom——
The uproar echoed.
Those goat-like Disaster Beasts finally stopped watching.
Heavy rewards mean brave men.
This principle also held true for these once-revered divine beings!
