CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 57: THE THINGS ARE MINE NOW

Su Chen couldn’t help but approach closer, hiding behind the rock wall, looking at the two god-like men in mid-air through the thin rain, with a sense of longing on his face.

When will I be able to stand suspended in the air, utterly unafraid of that giant monster snake, chatting and laughing?

He clenched his fist, a surge of exhilarating determination arose within: I must become stronger.

"No more nonsense, if you want to fight, then bring it on."

The man in the green robe, Luo Feng, said loudly, with a stern expression between his brows. As his eyes focused, the Purple Crystal Monster Snake Profound Viper below, ready to attack, suddenly swung its enormous body, leaping up with a bang against the raging waterfall! Suspended in mid-air!

It was over twenty meters long, and it stood unswervingly even under the impact of the hundred-meter waterfall. Its massive body twined and twisted under the water flow, that blood-filled mouth opening, emitting a filthy and terrifying stench!

"Very well, I’ll see if you, Luo Feng, are truly as strong as they say!"

Bai Ya let out a soft laugh, his whole body suddenly erupted with a crimson light, and behind him, there appeared a bizarre black phantom! The shadow seemed to wear a long robe, its face completely hidden, holding a black scythe, its body suddenly enlarged to several meters tall!

"The blood of a seventh-level Spirit Beast Celestial Demon, let’s see if it’s worthy of your blood-attributed beast soul, let me witness it!"

Luo Feng also let out a light shout, his body soared out, his entire being instantly radiating with bright golden light, forming into the shape of a great roc. Then he clasped his hands together, a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, causing the clouds at the horizon to churn and shake violently!

A clap of thunder suddenly exploded in the upper layers of the clouds, immediately triggering a vast, glaring, fiery flare descending from the heavens! The fierce fire storm rolled in like it was locked onto its target, engulfing Bai Ya, who was surrounded in a red glow, rendering the air scorching and suffocating, blasting the waterfall’s flow into a frenzy shooting in all directions!

Su Chen sat down on the ground in fright, his eyes filled with shock as he stared up at the fiery sky above him, the incessant fog hissing, a sign of the waterfall constantly evaporating!

Only to see Bai Ya shout lowly, his body enshrouded in flames emitted an even bloodier glow, the flames fiercely retreating inch by inch; then he looked up, exhaling a long breath, which expanded instantly, gradually covering the flames, turning the blazing flames into a cyan and purple, charred red.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Luo Feng hastily commanded, the eyes of the Giant Snake Profound Viper at his side flashed, and it opened its blood-filled mouth, continuously spitting out several rock-sized water balls!

The water balls, carrying unparalleled icy power, shot toward Bai Ya who was about to burst through the flames. Only a sharp tearing sound was heard, and the water balls instantly transformed into an infinite web, firmly binding both the flame and Bai Ya together!

Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with starlight, he shot into the air again for several meters, spreading his arms wide, his entire being radiating with golden light!

"Bai Ya, take my ’Golden Roc Blaze’!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hot wind suddenly arose all around. The entire Wangyue Waterfall was engulfed in an asphyxiating atmosphere, and then the surface of the pond below started bubbling outward, with the fish all floating belly up!

Su Chen suddenly felt the rain curtain grow scorching, the once fresh and cool breeze became hotter and more suffocating. Knowing something was wrong, he quickly crawled out of the slightly hot rain curtain, climbing the algae-covered rock wall under the waterfall.

In the air, the Spirit Beast in the shape of a golden roc behind Luo Feng suddenly flapped its large wings, letting out a piercing screech!

Like an apocalypse, fierce little whirlwinds suddenly appeared in the air, within which were mixed sparkling heat-emitting golden sparks! The whirlwind roared, pressing all the surrounding waterfall flows down, the sparks spreading with a prairie fire momentum, appearing and disappearing within the whirlwind, like stars in the sky! The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees all started to catch fire!

Bai Ya, trapped in a web of mingled water and fire, watched the overwhelming attack approaching with growing panic. He gritted his teeth, a cluster of demonic blood-red flames appeared between his brows.

The black phantom that was also bound behind him became restless, with Bai Ya’s nearly beast-like sharp cry, the shadow expanded again by two meters! A substantial, vicious attack containing scarlet blood surged out, crashing toward all directions like a tidal wave!

Wherever it passed, it all sank into an endless world of bloody red. The waterfall, the pond, the rock wall, the woods, all were shrouded in blood red, even the imminent Golden Roc Blaze was covered over!

The world seemed to tremble, Su Chen hid desperately behind a protruding boulder, his face pale as he watched the horrifying scene unfold in front of him, his heart racing beyond control.

"Is this... the power of humans..."

A few minutes later, the sky finally returned to clarity. Su Chen looked at the bare woods below, shrouded in a layer of blood mist, the dry fish-covered pond, and the pitted and formless rocks, utterly stunned.

The entire hundred-meter Wangyue Waterfall had turned into a ruin in a blink of an eye. He wondered in his heart how he had survived.

In the sky, Luo Feng still stood with a sweat-covered face, and beneath him, the terrifying Giant Snake Profound Viper surged and coiled, while the red figure had already vanished.

The air was filled with a burnt smell. Luo Feng waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew, dispersing the burnt smell, stripping the trees of layers of black bark, leaving only the dry, decayed trunks...

With a sigh, exhausted in both body and mind, Luo Feng flew away, the Purple Crystal Giant Snake followed closely behind, quickly disappearing from Su Chen’s sight.

Gazing at the swathes of red clouds on the horizon, Su Chen still couldn’t quite collect himself. Just a few minutes had let him witness what was truly a godly battle. The once invincible image of his father in his mind wavered at this moment.

Could his father win against these two people?

He cautiously climbed back down along the rock wall. After the burning just now, the moss on the waterfall’s inner wall had been completely burned off, and the rock wall had become bumpy, making it easy to climb. He quickly returned to the shore, but the tree where he hung his pack was completely destroyed, standing desolate and bare. He looked around, heart trembling, realizing that the lush, beautiful scenery had been utterly ruined, nearly unrecognizable. The gentle little animals had long since fled, the area engulfed in dead silence, with not even the slightest sound of water or birds.

Looking at the nearly hundred-meter-tall, but now dry, waterfall, he had a wry smile on his lips, wondering if battles must exact such a heavy price?

With a hint of complexity, he turned to leave the place that had accompanied him for three years. But just as he turned around, a glint flashed in his eyes!

He couldn’t help but look forward and spotted about three meters away, a ring emitting a faint red light lying on the ground?

Filled with joy, Su Chen immediately ran over, squatting down and cautiously picking up this oddly-shaped ring. The ring appeared sinister, made of extremely smooth material, dark red all over, carved with a fierce snake pattern. Holding it in his hand seemed to seep a bone-chilling cold into his heart.

What surprised Su Chen the most was that despite the extensive fire-burn just now, the ring displayed not a trace of being scorched? He gently stroked the ring with his index finger, feeling a nameless fondness sprouting in his heart.

"Since I have seen it, it’s mine."

Su Chen nodded affirmatively as he spoke, then turned to leave. But just at this moment, footsteps echoed from not far away!
