Chapter 808: Chapter 808: The dragon has a reverse scale; he who touches it dies!

After dawn, the Mauna Loa Volcano finally ceased its eruption that had lasted for several days, and gradually returned to calm.

Although most of the molten lava ejected by the volcano had solidified into rocks, these rocks were still emitting puffs of smoke, radiating intense heat that ordinary people simply could not approach.

However, this posed no threat to martial artists who practiced fire-based techniques.

He Huan and Pei Litong jumped down from the mountain peak and began to approach the Mauna Loa Volcano, each holding a Fire Elemental Stone in their hands. They occasionally placed it on the ground and then observed carefully for any changes in the stone’s color.

Fang Bai knew that they did not possess Divine Sense and thus could not accurately detect whether there were Essence Stone Mines underground, so they used this simple yet effective method to locate them. As long as the brightness of the Fire Elemental Stone in their hands increased, it indicated the presence of Fire Elemental Stones beneath the ground.

To the disappointment of He Huan and Pei Litong, apart from some Fire Primordial Qi remaining near the volcanic crater, they did not make any exciting discoveries elsewhere.

"It seems there are no Fire Elemental Stones here... Elder Brother, what should we do? Let’s return to the True Martial Realm!" Pei Litong said with a dejected look.

"No! We can’t return empty-handed!"

He Huan shook his head, "We have spent a large amount of Essence Stones to come to this world from the Teleportation Array of the True Martial Realm. If we go back empty-handed, being reprimanded by our master is a small matter, but the key point is being ridiculed by our fellow disciples, never being able to hold our heads up high again!"

Pei Litong asked, "Then... what do you suggest we do?"

He Huan stated firmly, "Keep searching! I refuse to believe that in this vast world, there are no Fire Elemental Stones!"

He paused for a moment, then an idea of a person suddenly flashed in his mind, and he spoke with flickering eyes, "That powerful young man we met a few days ago also practiced a fire system technique. In this world, where Essence Energy is scarce, it’s extremely difficult to cultivate to the Heaven Level Realm. That young man must have relied on a large number of Fire Elemental Stones to reach such a realm!"

Pei Litong knew who He Huan was referring to and nodded, "That’s true! Without a large number of Fire Elemental Stones, relying solely on the Essence Energy of the world, it’s absolutely impossible to reach that realm..."

He Huan, excited, waved his fist and shouted loudly, "So we must not lose heart, we must continue searching! If we really have no choice, we can start with that young man, force him to hand over the Fire Elemental Stones, or at least tell us where he found them!"

Pei Litong frowned and sighed, "But that young man is too strong! Even if you and I join forces, we might not be able to defeat him!"

"Not necessarily!"

He Huan, unwilling to accept defeat, said, "You were careless that night, and besides, my strength is slightly better than yours. I believe if we join forces side by side and launch a surprise attack, we might be able to defeat him!"

Pei Litong said, "That’s too risky! In my opinion, we should first find the young man, see if he has any weaknesses, and then strike at his weak points..."

"Haha... Junior Sister Pei is smart!"

He Huan laughed out loud, "That young man must have some family or friends in this world. Just capture a few of them, then threaten him. I don’t believe he won’t capitulate... Haha..."

Before he had finished laughing, a figure shot through the air like lightning and landed in front of the two.

"A dragon has reverse scales, touch them and you will incur its wrath!"

After landing, the figure spoke in a cold voice, "I didn’t want to kill you, but you two are malicious at heart, leaving you alive would be a disaster, so now... you must die!"

"It’s you?"

Recognizing the newcomer, He Huan and Pei Litong were greatly shocked and swiftly retreated.

The newcomer was Fang Bai.

Fang Bai had been monitoring He Huan and Pei Litong from a secluded spot in the distance using his Divine Sense. When he heard them planning to threaten him with his family and friends for the sake of Fire Elemental Stones, his anger surged, and he was filled with a compelling desire to kill, so he immediately appeared before them.

His overwhelming killing intent transformed into a terrifying pressure that bore down on He Huan and Pei Litong, who immediately felt the threat of death.

Feeling the pressure from Fang Bai, He Huan’s heart was thrown into turmoil, and only then did he realize how laughable the idea of defeating Fang Bai together had been.

When Fang Bai had suddenly appeared before them just now, He Huan actually felt as if he was facing his own master.

It should be noted that their master was an Elder of the Purple Flame Sect, possessing strength far exceeding the Heaven Level Realm, able to effortlessly sweep away any Heaven Level Expert.

So when He Huan sensed Fang Bai’s terrifying pressure, he gave up any illusions of victory and his first reaction was to flee, to get as far away and as fast as possible.

"Go!"

He Huan shouted loudly, his retreating figure speeding up again, trying to escape the range of Fang Bai’s attack and leap off the peak.

Pei Litong’s reaction was a beat slower than He Huan’s, and it was this hesitation that robbed her of any chance to escape.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

With a cold snort from Fang Bai, he dashed forward at a speed several times faster than the two, and in the blink of an eye appeared in front of Pei Litong, before pointing his finger forward.

Pei Litong watched with wide eyes as that finger touched her, completely unable to intercept it, her body struck as if by lightning, collapsing to the ground like a deflated ball and unable to move a muscle.

A Heaven Level Perfection Martial Artist in full flight could move astonishingly fast, but Fang Bai had delayed slightly when striking down Pei Litong; by the time he thought to pursue He Huan, he found him already halfway down the mountain.

If Fang Bai had decided to give chase then, he still could have caught up, but it would have taken him some time.

Fang Bai couldn’t be bothered to chase anymore; his eyes flashed with a cold gleam, and with a flip of his hands, the Houyi Bow that had been lying in his Spatial Ring was now in his grasp, pulled to a full draw.

Fang Bai circulated the "Nine Revolutions True Fire Art", and the pure Fire Primordial Qi in his Qi Sea, spurred on by the Cultivation Technique, quickly condensed into a fiery red arrow on the Houyi Bow.

Above the arrow, flames seemed to burn and rise, carrying an endless intent to kill.

Meanwhile, He Huan, who was fleeing, had reached the base of the peak, feeling fortunate in his heart that he could escape from Fang Bai’s grasp.

"Go!"

Fang Bai shouted loudly, his eyes flashing with sharpness.

Hum——

Following his command, the red flame arrow shot forth from the bowstring, tracing a long trail of fire through the air, ripping through the void and streaking towards He Huan’s back.

This arrow, as if transcending space and time, was so swift that even Fang Bai himself was taken aback by its speed.

He Huan, in the midst of flight, suddenly felt a shattering wave of scorching heat surging from behind, bringing an unparalleled, intense threat like none he had ever experienced before.

What drove He Huan to despair was that the scorching wave not only completely enveloped him but also sealed the space around his body, leaving him without any possibility to dodge.

"No..."

He Huan cried out in terror, his voice piercing through the air.

Before his voice had even faded, the arrow, condensed from Fang Bai’s Fire Primordial Qi, carrying red flames and boundless killing intent, pierced through his back, extinguishing all signs of life within him.
