Chapter 270: Chapter 27: Burning the Snake

Purple poison smoke sprayed out, and Magic Power and Nila seemed to have suffered before, fearing that they could not avoid it quickly enough.

"Weide!" Magic Power gritted his teeth, "Do you really want to wipe us out completely?!"

"Heh heh, why wouldn’t I take the Points that are within my grasp?" Weide stepped out from the shadows, his expression somewhat regretful, "I’m very curious, how did you find me?"

"Intuition, I guess." Lu Hong certainly wouldn’t mention anything about the Eye of God, and having to say it, the Negate Skill really was useful.

"If I had known, I would have tried to get rid of you first." Weide said, "You’re lucky this time; don’t let me find another opportunity." As he spoke, a wave of poison mist rose, gradually obscuring Weide’s figure.

"Damn it!" Magic Power stomped his feet in anger, Weide was a Second-Transformation Peak assassin, and this vile person specialized in deceitful and tricky skills, making him utterly unpredictable.

"What should we do? We won’t have a moment’s peace with Weide targeting us." Leng Yue also complained.

Nila couldn’t speak; his mouth and throat were poisoned into silence by Weide, his face helplessly turned red, and he emitted a sad and angry whining.

Seeing the three disheartened, Lu Hong glanced at Weide’s hiding spot from the corner of his eye, and asked with a smile, "Is the Kingdom of Shadows really that powerful?"

"Nonsense!" Magic Power rolled his eyes, "You’re lucky to be alive till now; do you know what it’s like to be oppressed by the Little Shadow Sky from the Kingdom of Shadows?"

"Little Shadow Sky?"

Leng Yue took over the conversation, "That’s the number one person in the Kingdom of Shadows, known as Little Shadow Sky."

Carrying the bloodline of the Unbounded Emperor, those of the same level from the Kingdom of Shadows vastly surpassed ordinary people in their fortitude, and among these geniuses, they were dominant and matchless.

"What about this Weide? Where does he rank in the team from the Kingdom of Shadows this time?"

"Probably in the top three." Leng Yue pondered for a moment, "Although Weide’s raw strength isn’t great, if it comes to a fight to the death, he’s no weaker than anyone else."

"Top three, then... With such a persistent intent to kill me, it’s better to eliminate him first."

Hearing Lu Hong’s declaration not far away, Weide’s heart suddenly startled. Had he been discovered again? Impossible, right? This time he hadn’t shown any intent to kill, not even Little Shadow Sky could have noticed him.

The surging battle aura revealed the outcome, Weide hastily dodged, but before catching his breath, Lu Hong slashed down with his sword.

"How did you find me?!" Weide, who had always been most confident in his Stealth Skill, felt extremely frustrated as it was easily seen through.

"Luck." In a breath, Lu Hong swung dozens of swords, each strike packed with the immobilizing effect of his Skill, and forcefully shattered the two daggers in Weide’s hands.

With a kick, Weide had no time to dodge and was kicked into a wall.

Without waiting for Lu Hong’s follow-up attack, a burst of poison mist surged again, and even the rocks rapidly dissolved under its erosion.

In the next second, countless exceedingly fine filaments shot out from the poison mist, Lu Hong activated his battle aura, a War Challenge strike creating layers of air waves, neutralizing all of Weide’s attacks.

"Poison kill!" Weide roared furiously, the dispersing poison gas quickly condensed into a python, viciously biting at Lu Hong.

"Get out of the way!" Leng Yue shouted loudly, simultaneously conjuring magic to transform into countless weapons attacking the opponent.

Lu Hong didn’t retreat, a Fatal Strike fiercely slashing down, but this poison snake was composed of poison mist, rendering Lu Hong’s attack completely ineffective.

Seeing the snake close in, Leng Yue angrily said to Magic Power, "Aren’t you going to help?!"

"I...," Yes, Magic Power hesitated, knowing that poison mist feared wind element Skills the most, confident that he could break this Skill, yet he still wanted Lu Hong to die. But if Lu Hong were to die, no one could match Weide after, and their deaths would only be a matter of time.

Well, might as well help him then!

Magic Power gathered fist wind, and as the punch was thrown, the violent wind element transformed into a tornado, grinding the poison snake to dust.

Deprived of his Stealth Skill, Weide was not a match for this group of people and decided to flee.

But Nila had already blocked his escape route.

"Aba aba! Aba aba aba!" Nila grumbled angrily, releasing his fully charged ultimate move simultaneously.

With a sweep of his giant axe, Weide was cut in half at the waist.

"Phew~" Nila sighed in relief, looking at Lu Hong with a grateful expression, "Aba aba, aba aba, aba aba."

"..." Although I don’t understand what he’s saying, he must be thanking me, right?

"You’re welcome."

"Hehe." Hearing the exchange between the two, Leng Yue couldn’t help but smile.

Magic Power appeared slightly upset, recognizing that it was the perfect opportunity to kill Lu Hong, yet it was wasted.

Inside the Fierce Sun Coliseum, King Wujiang smiled at the King of the Kingdom of Shadows, "It seems like we’ve won."

The King of the Kingdom of Shadows remained expressionless, "No matter, it’s just a mere Flame Warrior."

At the moment of Weide’s death, deep underground, Little Shadow Sky paused in his steps.

"What’s wrong?" asked a female companion by his side.

"Weide is dead," Xiaohetian said indifferently, "I had told him not to rely too heavily on his skills, but he never stopped."

"Dead? Are you sure?" His female companion was somewhat skeptical, "Even you can’t see through his invisibility, who else could kill him?"

"You ask me? Who do I ask?" Xiaohetian set out once again, "Hurry, the deeper we go towards the core, the more heart stones we’ll find. Over a decade ago, Anbula made strong fighters overnight using heart stones, and they all died suddenly. This time, Hei Zhi Country must gather enough heart stones to create strong fighters; those Third-Transformation strong fighters are the foundation of our great nation."

"As you command!"

As Hei Zhi Country delved deeper into the core in pursuit of more heart stones, Lu Hong also decided to continue delving deeper.

Leng Yue repeatedly advised, "Don’t go, Hei Zhi Country’s Yan Wu is searching in that direction; heading to the core now is like walking into a trap. Xiaohetian has improved too much over the years, even Magic Wind isn’t sure, wouldn’t you be courting death if you go?"

"No worries, if there’s danger, I’ll retreat." From Leng Yue’s advice, it seemed that these three people were terrified by Xiaohetian, certainly not willing to follow Lu Hong to the depths of the core.

Parting ways with the three, Lu Hong continued on the path seeking heart stones. Along the way, he didn’t need to search; everything must have already been scavenged by Hei Zhi Country’s Yan Wu, so Lu Hong was not in a rush, first taking out the hundred or more heart stones he had scavenged from Weide’s body and absorbed them completely.

This act almost made Sovereign Cang so angry that he could crush the dragon throne.

"A hundred or more points... points..." Regardless, keeping the initiative in war, even if unused, is always good to have.

"Father, don’t be angry," Xixi persuaded while massaging Sovereign Cang’s back.

The deeper into the core Lu Hong went, the hotter and drier the surrounding air felt, as if it needed only a spark to ignite.

In these blazing waves, only Lu Hong dared to endure it with his flesh.

"How deep is the core?" Lu Hong hurried along; Hei Zhi Country’s group of Yan Wu searching for heart stones inevitably wouldn’t be very fast, but even after half an hour, he hadn’t caught up which made him curious.

If it weren’t for the remains of core demon beasts along the path, Lu Hong would truly worry that Hei Zhi Country’s group of Yan Wu had already retreated.

Delving nearly a thousand meters deeper, the bodies of several tens of demon beasts lay on the ground, clearly having experienced a fierce battle.

Lu Hong stepped forward to inspect the dead demon beasts; their blood had not yet clotted—the death definitely occurred less than ten minutes ago.

Chase!

Continuing forward, suddenly a great rumble came from deep within the core tunnel.

Focusing his sight, a stream of magma gushed out from the heart of the core.

Lu Hong summoned the holy sword, charged up, and sliced through the magma, the extremely high temperature causing even the holy sword to glow slightly red. If this magma touched the body, it would be fatal!

"Run!" Following that, Xiaohetian’s cry of fury also came over.

Moments later, Lu Hong saw Hei Zhi Country’s Xiaohetian, guarding a woman by his side, resisting the magma and fleeing towards him.

"What happened?" Lu Hong wondered inwardly, readying his defenses.

"Move aside!" Xiaohetian struck towards Lu Hong standing in the middle of the tunnel with a palm strike, a surge of black Magic Power sweeping towards him.

Fatal Strike abruptly activated.

"Slash!"

In the instant he cut through the Magic Palm, Xiaohetian brushed past Lu Hong.

Such speed!

Lu Hong was startled, grateful that the other party didn’t continue the attack; otherwise, Lu Hong would indeed have struggled to defend.

"Find your own death; don’t block my path." Dropping such a cold remark, and looking again, Xiaohetian’s figure had already disappeared.

At that moment, a series of rumbles came from deeper within the core.

A giant snake was squeezing through the tunnel, rushing towards Lu Hong.

Just the fang in its gaping mouth was many times larger than Lu Hong.

"What the hell is this?!" Now, he finally understood why Xiaohetian was running.

The giant snake moved very quickly; in the blink of an eye, Lu Hong decided to test its strength by making contact.

"Indeed, the Burn Snake has awakened." The Kings’ faces were solemn, their eyes intently watching the projection of Lu Hong preparing to clash with the Burn Snake.

Lu Hong’s body trembled, concentrating all his muscle strength to its peak.

He aimed a fierce punch at the snake’s head.

Upon impact, the Burn Snake’s body shook slightly.

In contrast, Lu Hong, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, was knocked backwards, his limp right arm clearly indicating it was ruined.

"Run!" Realizing he was no match after being hit, Lu Hong used the recoil force to create distance and immediately ran.

The Burn Snake shook its head; a hint of confusion appeared in its snake eyes, as if asking what had just bumped into it? Ah, never mind! Then it twisted its giant body and continued moving outward.

The core’s deep cavern, bolstered by the plane’s original source, remained quiet despite the Burn Snake’s strength. However, if it moved from the deep core towards the surface, the destruction it could cause would be catastrophic.
