The Yanjiao people had strong healing abilities. Shao Xuan's healing abilities were even stronger. However, he was controlling the wound on his finger to prevent it from healing too quickly.
He pressed his fingertip harder on the blade, causing more blood to flow out from the wound.
To prevent the blood from dripping onto the ground, Shao Xuan pressed the wound on his thumb against the blade. His finger moved along with the blood flowing out, following the blade towards the tip.
Tsk tsk —
As Shao Xuan's finger moved, the blade emitted a strange sound. It didn't sound like a finger moving on the smooth blade, but more like the sound of a scorching hot metal being branded onto something.
Something's not right. What was that? Gongjia Ren was puzzled. What made him even more puzzled was that the smooth blade had a trace of blood sticking to it as Shao Xuan's finger moved. It didn't look like a random smear of blood. Blood wouldn't stick to the blade so tightly, but it was definitely blood. It was the blood left behind when Shao Xuan cut his finger!
Gongjia Ren couldn't figure it out.
Shao Xuan didn't care about Gongjia Ren's confusion. As the trace of blood neared the tip of the blade, he raised his hand and opened his palm.
The totemic power within his body surged. At the same time, another surge of energy followed, as if a switch had been turned on. Within the totemic pattern, a white line danced, moving along his arm until it reached his open palm.
Shao Xuan felt a surge of heat flowing wildly on his arm, gathering towards his palm.
Whoosh!
Flames suddenly erupted from Shao Xuan's raised palm, startling Gongjia Ren and the rest who had been staring at him.
What was going on?! How could it burst into flames?!
Su Le, who had been staring at Shao Xuan, was also shocked. What was that Yanjiao doing?! Also, what kind of metal weapon was that blade in Shao Xuan's hand? Why hadn't he seen it before? It wasn't green either, but it definitely wasn't an ordinary metal weapon!
What Su Le didn't notice was that the hooded man behind him shuddered the moment the flames emerged from Shao Xuan's hands. It was as if he had seen something completely unexpected.
Shao Xuan, who was the center of everyone's attention, raised his flaming palm and slapped the tip of the knife where the blood had stopped.
The moment Shao Xuan's flaming palm came into contact with the blade, the bloodstain on the blade was like a fuse that was ignited by the flames in Shao Xuan's hand!
The burning flame quickly spread throughout the blade. The flame rose up and almost enveloped the entire blade. It looked as if the blade had suddenly burst into flames.
The moment the flames spread along the bloodstains and wrapped around the blade, it was as if there was an invisible heatwave that spread in all directions, revealing a majestic aura that shook people's hearts! The sandstorm created by the battle between the two giant beasts seemed to have been blocked by an invisible ball.
Beneath their feet was the sand scorched by the scorching sun. At this time, the sun was scorching hot. In the past, Shao Xuan and the others would have found a place to rest. But now, they were under the scorching sun and stepping on the scorching sand. The heat spread from their straw sandals to the soles of their feet.
However, this heatwave seemed to be hotter than the sun's rays, or the sand that had been scorched by the sun. It was even hotter!
Yet, this heatwave didn't make the Yanjiao people feel hot. Instead, it calmed their agitated hearts.
The aura of the fire seed!
Carefully sensing it, it was different from the fire seed's aura they were familiar with.
Shao Xuan was using the power of the fire seed?
But even the fire seed couldn't ignite a metal weapon!
The Yanjiao people weren't the only ones affected by the heatwave. Even the strange people covered in sackcloth paused for a moment under the heat.
The hooded person sitting behind Su Le couldn't help but lean forward, as if trying to get a better understanding of the situation. However, Su Le didn't notice the reaction of the people behind him. He stared at the knife in Shao Xuan's hand with a gloomy expression. Then, he sneered, "Although I don't know what he's doing, it's still futile. Does he think he can take care of these people with a flaming knife?"
As he spoke, Su Le pulled his face forward and said in a low voice, "Kill him and snatch that knife for me!"
Murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the person behind Su Le. He directed the strange people to surround Shao Xuan, ignoring the other Yanjiao people. He didn't listen to Su Le's words. In fact, he didn't even hear what Su Le had said. He was only staring at Shao Xuan. The only thought in his mind was to kill that person!
The strange people who were originally fighting the Yanjiao people with missing arms and legs gave up on their opponents and rushed towards Shao Xuan.
"Dodge!" Shao Xuan shouted at the Yanjiao people in front of him.
The sound of a giant beast stomping on the ground rang out. The sand was sent flying high into the air. Those who didn't know what was going on would have thought that a giant beast had charged out from the sand. However, Sapphire and Su Le's giant golden beasts were already fighting under the sand. They weren't here. The one who had caused the commotion was Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan's figure was no longer in his original position. All that was left was a large crater.
The sand around the crater fell down, increasing the height of the surrounding area and making the crater even more obvious.
Shao Xuan's aura was like that of an excited beast. The sudden explosion of his aura was filled with the usual Yanjiao tyranny. The blood in his body seemed to be on fire. His muscles and bones rumbled under the stimulation of his totemic power. His entire body was charging towards Su Le in a straight line.
Even though he was still far away, Su Le felt a suffocating sensation in his chest. It was as if someone had covered his mouth and nose. This was a form of suppression. Shao Xuan had locked onto Su Le's position. It made Su Le feel like he wasn't facing a human, but a ferocious beast. It was as if a tsunami was crashing down on him!
Shao Xuan's target was Su Le. If he wanted to break out of this situation and solve the crisis brought about by the monsters, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of the person who was controlling everything. The solution was a method Shao Xuan came up with after experimenting with the methods of controlling the monsters.
The power that controlled the monsters was similar to a fire seed. This power existed within the monsters' bones. Because of this, the monsters without organs could still move even if they were cut in half or even if they lost their heads.
As long as the power within the monsters' bones was affected, the control over them would be disrupted or even severed.
When a monster charged towards him, Shao Xuan didn't slow down at all. After blocking the monster's attack, he rammed into the monster's arm. It was a brutal charge that was reminiscent of a wild beast in the forest!
In terms of physical strength, these monsters couldn't compare to the totemic warriors of the Yanjiao tribe. What's more, Shao Xuan was a high-level totemic warrior.
Under the impact, the sound of bones breaking rang out like popcorn popping. The monsters that tried to surround Shao Xuan were knocked away by Shao Xuan. If it was a normal person, they would have loosened their grip on their weapons due to the pain and impact. However, these strange people were different. Their hands seemed to be glued to their weapons. Even if their arms were fractured and deformed, their fingers were still tightly gripping their weapons. They didn't feel any pain. It was as if they were being controlled by someone. It was as if a program was deeply embedded in their bodies, forcing their fingers to stick to their weapons. Even if their arms were chopped off, they would still hold onto their weapons.
A flaming saber shadow flashed past, and a headless monster was cut in half at the waist. The upper body of the monster flew into the air, and the lower body slid along the sand for a while before falling to the ground.
Gongjia Ren looked at the monster's upper body that flew into the air and landed heavily on the ground. Unlike the monsters that were cut by the Yanjiao tribe, the monster that was cut in half by Shao Xuan was still burning. Although it wasn't much and the fire didn't last long, it was definitely there!
What surprised Gongjia Ren even more was that the monster's body that he thought would move again after being cut in half was spasming like it was having a spasm. His arms that had just been raised went limp again.
Was this … an effect?!
Gongjia Ren couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Behind Su Le, the hooded man's face turned pale. The muscles on his face were twitching.
He felt as if a scorching stream of fire was sweeping through every inch of his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh. It was as if someone had suddenly released a group of crazy ferocious beasts that were crazily and disorderly charging. His meridians, veins, bones, and even the blood in his blood vessels were screaming in pain.
"Stop him! Stop him! "Su Le began to panic as he yelled.
The slaves were busy dealing with the black beetles. On Shao Xuan's path, the black beetles had cleared a path for him. The slaves who finally had a chance to catch their breath were powerless to stop Shao Xuan. They could only rely on the confused monsters.
Ta and the rest also wanted to help Shao Xuan but Shao Xuan was too fast. They couldn't keep up!
Forget the Yanjiao people, even the other monsters who were surrounding them couldn't keep up. They didn't even have the time to follow Su Le and the hooded man's wishes.
Under the Flaming Blade, the monsters who were slashed fell to the ground as if they were sick. They spasmed on the ground like machines that had gone haywire. Even if they were standing, they were still shivering from the cold.
This scene was extremely strange to the crowd. Why were the monsters who were supposed to be unaffected by the attack acting as if they were sick?
Only the hooded man knew that it was because he could no longer control the puppet slaves accurately. There was a force on their bodies that followed the cut left by the flaming blade and spread throughout the puppet slaves' bodies, interfering with his control. It even directly affected the bodies around him that he was controlling!
It was the power of the fire seed. It was the power of the Yanjiao fire seed! The power he exerted on the monsters to control them was unstoppable! How could the Yanjiao people have such power?!
"How … How could this be? Aren't those people supposed to be immortal?! "Su Le's tone changed drastically as he watched Shao Xuan get closer and closer.
The hooded figure began to tremble uncontrollably. At this point, it was impossible for Su Le not to notice.
"What's wrong with you?!" Su Le asked anxiously. This person was his shield. If something happened to him, he and his slaves were no match for the Yanjiao people. Besides, the Yanjiao people were related to the insect swarm.
"Who … Who is that person?!" The hooded man's voice trembled, as if he was trying to suppress a great pain. His expressionless face twitched as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
His appearance scared Su Le. It was obvious that something was wrong with this person, and it was a big problem!
Who was Shao Xuan?
"He's a Yanjiao person, from the Yanjiao tribe …" Su Le stuttered.
The hooded man obviously wasn't asking about this. He knew that the person was a Yanjiao person, but what was his status in Yanjiao? Why did he have such power? He could feel that not only was his connection with the puppet slaves being disrupted, but it was also being severed one by one. Every time a connection was severed, it felt like a meridian in his body was being severed. The pain was unbearable.
His connection with the puppet slaves was much closer than Su Le's connection with his slaves. After all, he was the one who controlled the puppet slaves' every move. He had absolute control over them. On the other hand, the loss of this connection meant that the backlash was even more severe.
"Why … Why is this happening?! Who is he?! " The hooded man mumbled. His greyish-white eyes stared at the person who was charging towards him. His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the fiery light that was moving so fast it was hard to follow.
"Go!" The hooded man growled.
"Wh … What?" Su Le stared at the hooded man in disbelief. Go? Was this a failure? Why else would he choose to retreat?
"Go!" The hooded man raised his voice, as if he was using all his strength to shout.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was about to attack, Su Le gritted his teeth and whistled. He reached out and scooped up the person behind him. He didn't dare to leave this person behind and escape alone. Otherwise, he would be punished by Su Lun when he returned.
With the hooded man in tow, Su Le rushed out of the tent shack and retreated hastily.
As for the remaining slaves and monsters, they were abandoned. It wasn't easy for the two of them to leave, so they couldn't bring those people with them. Although Su Le felt pity for the slaves, they were nothing compared to his own life. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to abandon them. Besides, he still needed them to hold off the Yanjiao people and buy them time to leave.
Behind Su Le, there was a loud bang from the sand. The giant golden-armoured beast emerged from the sand with its front body upright and its dozens of legs spread out. When Su Le and the hooded man arrived, the beast wrapped its legs around each other to form a small, narrow space, protecting Su Le and the hooded man inside. As for the giant golden-armoured beast, its entire body began to curl inwards from its head, protecting the head and the hooded man inside. In the end, it formed a large, golden ball. The parts that were exposed outside were the sturdiest parts of its body.
The giant golden-armoured beast wasn't considered to be the type with strong offensive capabilities. It specialized in defense. Back then, Su Gu and Su Le had chosen this giant beast because of its strong defensive capabilities. In times of crisis, it could form a sturdy protective barrier, protecting them securely inside. Even the sharp fangs and claws of the desert's famous beasts couldn't easily break through the giant golden-armoured beast's hard shell. This was the type of beast that could save their lives.
The giant golden-armoured beast's curled body formed a round ball. The rings of hard shell were tightly connected to each other. There were only a few small gaps that even small beetles couldn't squeeze through. These gaps were for the people inside to breathe easily.
The giant golden ball rolled on the sand, kicking up sand that shot out at high speed. It was like the muddy water kicked up by the tires of a car as it rolled across a muddy beach.
Shao Xuan avoided the high-speed sand and slashed at the giant golden ball. His blade carried a trail of flames as it collided with the giant golden ball!
Screech!
The ear-piercing sound of metal being cut was accompanied by sparks. A long, black scar appeared on the giant golden-armoured beast's body, as if it had been burned. The scar was as deep as a palm. As the giant golden ball rolled, the black scar expanded to half a circle in the blink of an eye. Two more slashes and the giant golden-armoured beast's hard shell would've been cut open.
Even though Shao Xuan's attack didn't break through its defense, it was enough to make the golden-armoured beast panic. It sped up again, desperately fleeing into the distance.
Shao Xuan landed on the ground. His blade-wielding arms were numb from the impact of the slash on the giant golden-armoured beast's body. The web between his thumb and forefinger was cracked. He wanted to chase after the giant golden-armoured beast and finish it off, but the beast's defense was too strong. It would take some time to finish it off. However, there were still many Weirdos to deal with. Shao Xuan couldn't just abandon the Yanjiao group. After all, they didn't have a flaming blade. Not everyone had a special ability like Shao Xuan.
Bang!
A blue figure rushed out from the sand.
Sapphire was in the midst of an intense battle with the golden-armoured beast when it suddenly ran towards the sand. It rushed out of the sand and looked around. Two paddle-shaped antennae vibrated, and it moved its six long legs to chase after the golden-armoured beast.
Seeing Sapphire give chase, Shao Xuan temporarily retreated to deal with the remaining Weirdos. Even if the person in charge of controlling the golden-armoured beast had left, as long as they didn't exceed the effective range, the Weirdos would still be a threat. However, as the controller moved further away, their movements would become more sluggish.
