"Chi chi chi …"
Accompanied by an uncomfortable hissing sound, the countless withered trees in the vast fire banyan forest began to twist strangely as though they were about to come back to life.
The boiling hot magma spread from the roots of the withered tree and poured into the trunk through the cracks. Scarlet energy overflowed from the cracks.
The shocking strength caused the eyes of Xiao Yan's group, who were standing in the air, to tighten.
"The time has come. We only need to wait for the fire banyan trees' magma power to be exhausted before we obtain the fire banyan branches.
However, during this period, we will have to trouble brother Xiao Yan for a while. "
Gazing at the rapidly rising magma in the forest below, a faint smile appeared on Tang Ye's face.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Tang Ye's face as he finished speaking.
The withered trees seemed to respond as well. The ground that was covered in magma suddenly burst open. Magma gushed out and wrapped around the trees. Then, it soared into the sky, forming an astonishing pillar of fire that soared into the sky.
Countless pillars of fire connected the sky to the earth, and scorching magma rained down like rain, washing the world. No one could hide from it. The fire banyan forest was like purgatory.
In the face of such a situation, even people like Tang Ye could not help but tremble with fear. Even though he had been here many times, he still felt a lingering fear in the face of the Fire Banyan Clan's power.
"Brother Xiao Yan.
Please. "
Tang Ye said with a solemn expression.
"Leave it to me."
Xiao Yan gently nodded. He stood in front of the two as Genesis Qi gathered between his palms. Faced with the magma that was falling from above, he let out a loud cry and threw a palm attack. A huge palm imprint collided with the cluster of fire, causing both parties to explode.
Waves of fire swept out, borrowing the remaining power of the palm to form a barrier that stood between heaven and earth, blocking the rain of fire for several breaths.
"Haha, brother Xiao Yan's methods are really different. With this move of yours, we can rest assured."
Tang Ye raised his brows as he watched the extremely exaggerated scene in the sky. He could not help but grin before turning to Bai Zijing.
"Since that's the case, it's time for the two of us to get moving."
When the latter heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He did not say anything and slowly glanced at the black robe in front of him. A bright light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He tapped the void with the tip of his foot, and his figure instantly broke into the magma below like a sharp sword.
When he saw Bai Zijing's anxious appearance, the smile on Tang Ye's face couldn't help but grow wider, and his figure transformed into a flowing light that chased after Bai Zijing. At the same time, a blue colored banner that was over 10cm in size appeared in his hand.
In the sky, Xiao Yan looked at the two people who had charged into the magma one after another. After pondering for a moment, he sat down in the air and waited quietly. No matter how the magma slammed against him, Xiao Yan could not avoid it.
He had the Deviant Fire with him, so the lava couldn't do anything to him. His earlier attack was only to relax Tang Ye and Li Wuyou's mentality. However, from the moment he saw Bai Zijing, he knew that Bai Zijing had other intentions towards him, so he had to treat him with caution.
"That fellow clearly knows that his strength is inferior to Bai Zijing's, yet he still dares to let me stay outside. I'm afraid that I have a way to deal with him."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at the churning magma below. Soon after, a thought rose in his mind, and his Spiritual Force immediately spread out, probing towards the magma below in an attempt to enter the magma and investigate.
"Chi …"
However, the moment Xiao Yan's Spiritual Force came into contact with the surface of the magma, the boiling magma directly attacked his Spiritual Force, forcing him to immediately withdraw his hand.
"What a strange magma. It can even burn Spiritual Force!"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and could not help but feel a little surprised in his heart. Just imagine, with his current Spiritual Force, he was confident that he could win against an ordinary Origin Zong. There was no place that he could not go, but he did not expect to be burned by this mere magma.
"I'm becoming more and more curious about how powerful the Fire Banyan Race was back then."
Xiao Yan was not afraid of his Spiritual Force being burned. Needless to say, the magma's miraculous effect was definitely due to the Fire Banyan Race's methods. After this matter, his interest in this race that had existed for a thousand years grew.
Since he was unable to investigate the situation below the magma, Xiao Yan could only withdraw his thoughts and wait calmly.
Tang Ye and Bai Zijing had entered the magma together, while Xiao Yan was the only one left to guard the outside world. The temporary partnership between the three was about to be broken. With benefits before them, a battle between Tang Ye and Bai Zijing was unavoidable. It would all depend on who would be able to stand in front of him in the end.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.
The Fire Banyan Trees that had originally been on land had been completely submerged under the magma. The boiling magma continued to rise like a tide, and towering pillars of fire towered over the land. The magma that fell from the sky was like a torrential downpour, covering the entire sky.
Only the space a thousand feet around Xiao Yan was completely destitute. Even the magma, which even the experts from the Source Sect were afraid of, could only respectfully distance itself from it.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's tightly shut eyes flew open, his gaze shooting towards a certain direction like a falcon's.
In that instant earlier, the magma at that spot, or perhaps it could be said that there was an extremely unusual aura flashing past. Even though there was the magma as a barrier, Xiao Yan was still able to clearly see a pair of eyes with this hurried glance.
A pair of tiny scarlet eyes!
The Dark Heavy Buster Sword subconsciously fell into Xiao Yan's hand. He immediately stood up, his gaze sharp as he stared at a certain spot within the magma. If even he could not see its figure clearly, then this mysterious fellow's strength would not be any weaker than his own.
As his thoughts raced, his body suddenly twisted as the heavy tip of his buster sword smashed through the void. A burst of ruler light shot out and entered the magma behind him, creating a wave of energy.
"There's more than one, huh?"
Xiao Yan frowned as his gaze rapidly scanned his surroundings. The magma that had originally been a hundred feet away continued to draw closer under the mysterious creature's control. Within the magma, pairs of strange eyes gradually became clearer.
"This … this is …"
After clearly seeing the appearance of those mysterious creatures, Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly stunned. At this moment, the surface of the magma below suddenly split open, and a figure once again appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
"Haha, I didn't expect these guys to only attack you now. It seems that brother Xiao Yan does have some tricks up his sleeve."
Xiao Yan looked over. The first person to rush out was actually Tang Ye, causing him to be extremely surprised.
"I think brother Tang is the one with an iron fist. Even with Bai Zijing's strength, he actually died at your hands."
Tang Ye's face revealed some surprise when he heard this.
"I didn't expect you to be able to see through that kid's true strength. I've really underestimated you. However, this ends here."
Glancing at the rapidly approaching magma, the corners of Tang Ye's mouth curled into a disdainful sneer. He twisted his neck slightly and looked coldly at Xiao Yan again.
"Do you know that this Fire Banyan Forest is the home ground of the Fire-Scaled Lizards? Anyone who dares to have any ideas about the Fire Banyan Branch will be entangled with them until they die. Even an 8-star Source Sect wouldn't dare to provoke them lightly. Although you have cultivation, you're too greedy!"
The moment his voice sounded, Tang Ye abruptly waved his sleeves. An ornament that was wrapped by a blue-colored cluster of light shot toward Xiao Yan with great speed. When it was a couple of dozen feet in front of Xiao Yan, it burst apart under Tang Ye's control. Immediately, a small section of a red-colored plant root was revealed.
It was the so-called Fire Banyan Branch!
In an instant, within the magma that covered the world, countless scarlet gazes fell on Xiao Yan's body.
