CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 526: LAVA LAKE, FIRE BULL!_2

Fatty’s Step of Unification was acquired from the martial arts treasury of the Inner Temple.

Mo Wushen and the others were all Kings of the Yun State Inner Temple. Mo Wushen was even a Direct Disciple of the Mansion Master, so it wasn’t surprising that they possessed top-tier auxiliary battle tactics.

However, their expressions changed drastically when they saw the lava lake!

"The Lava Lake!"

"What is it doing here?"

Fear filled their eyes as they gazed at the lava lake, suggesting it possessed an inexplicable and ominous origin.

Before long, the Fire Flood Dragon arrived above the lava lake. Turning to Mo Wushen and the others, it sneered, "Pathetic humans. Follow me if you dare."

With that, it plunged into the lava lake, vanishing without a trace.

Mo Wushen and his companions soon reached the lava lake as well.

However, they didn’t approach it directly, instead landing on a nearby mountaintop. They looked down at the scorching lake with grave expressions.

"What do we do?" the burly man asked.

"This is the Fire Bull’s territory. If we fight here, it will be very disadvantageous for us," the young woman said, her voice heavy.

At the mere mention of the Fire Bull, a palpable gloom settled over the three of them.

BOOM!

But at that moment, Mo Wushen’s aura erupted with intimidating force. The burly man and the young woman both looked at him, surprised and apprehensive.

"So what if the Fire Bull is here? It’s merely a War Ancestor. Why should we fear it?" Mo Wushen said with a cold smirk.

"Don’t be reckless!" the young woman urged. "If it were just the Fire Bull, our combined strength could handle it. But now, not only is the Fire Bull here, but also that damned Fire Flood Dragon. If they team up, even if we manage to kill them, we’d definitely suffer losses. Besides, our injuries haven’t fully healed. Fighting them now would put us at a severe disadvantage."

"She’s right," the burly man added quickly. "Even if we’re going to kill them, we must wait until our injuries are healed and we’re back at our peak."

"If we wait until we’ve recovered, the Fire Flood Dragon will also be back in peak condition. It will be even harder to deal with then," Mo Wushen countered. "When the Fire Bull emerges, I’ll hold it off. You two deal with the Fire Flood Dragon."

Mo Wushen was a man of action. True to his decisive nature, he acted immediately, thrusting his index finger towards the lava lake.

BOOM!

A streak of crimson Battle Intent, imbued with astounding power, shot out and plunged into the lava lake! With a deafening explosion, the lava lake erupted into tumultuous waves.

ROAR!

An enraged bellow immediately followed from within the lava lake.

WHOOSH!

A colossal, ferocious beast burst from the lava, its terrifying might shaking the surroundings! The area was instantly engulfed by a violent gale, and flames lit up the sky!

When Mo Wushen and the others saw the beast, their pupils contracted sharply.

The beast was incredibly massive, similar in appearance to a Savage Bull. It was covered in fiery red fur, its eyes, as large as copper bells, radiated a menacing light.

The Fire Bull scanned the three of them and rumbled in a deep voice, "Insignificant humans, you dare to offend my majesty? Are you seeking death?"

Mo Wushen said, "Hand over the Fire Flood Dragon, and we’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, it’s a fight to the death today!"

"A fight to the death?" The Fire Bull’s eyes glinted with contempt. "As if this Emperor would fear you!"

It stamped its sturdy hooves, a murderous aura flaring around it as it charged the three humans.

"Stick to the plan! Let’s end this quickly!" Mo Wushen’s expression turned grim. He barked the order at his two companions and then moved to intercept the Fire Bull.

BOOM!

In an instant, a murderous aura enveloped him, as if he were bathed in fresh blood.

Simultaneously, the burly man and the young woman gritted their teeth and shot towards the lava lake.

"You’re courting death!" the Fire Bull bellowed, its voice like a great bell.

Instantly, a torrent of flames erupted from its body, engulfing the sky as it surged towards the pair.

"Your opponent is me!" Mo Wushen declared, stepping forward. His crimson Battle Intent erupted, surging with overwhelming power towards the flames.

CRASH!

The two attacks collided violently. Mo Wushen was instantly sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood. In contrast, the Fire Bull’s massive form stood proudly in the air, unmoved.

The disparity in their strength was immediately apparent. Although Mo Wushen was already injured, it was undeniable that the Fire Bull was even stronger than the Fire Flood Dragon! This was a truly terrifying adversary.

However, this confrontation allowed the burly man and the young woman to successfully enter the lava lake.

Although the lava possessed an extremely high temperature capable of incinerating ordinary creatures in an instant, it posed no threat to experts at the War Ancestor level.

"All you humans deserve to die!" the Fire Bull roared. "After this Emperor kills them, I’ll deal with you!"

It glared murderously at Mo Wushen before charging towards the lava lake.

"As long as I’m here, you’re not going anywhere!" Mo Wushen’s expression was icy, his killing intent even stronger than before.

BOOM!

He activated his auxiliary battle tactic, appearing directly beneath the Fire Bull in an instant. The crimson Battle Intent in his Qi Sea surged forth like a river of blood.

"Seven Kills Art, Sever!" Mo Wushen growled. Seven blood-red blades materialized in the air, radiating an astonishing sharpness as they slashed towards the Fire Bull!

"Insignificant insect!" the Fire Bull roared. "Since you’re so eager to die, this Emperor will kill you first!"

It charged headlong, ramming its skull directly into the seven blood-red blades!

BOOM!

Instantly, the Fire Bull’s head was broken and bleeding. However, those seven blood-red blades had been forcefully shattered by its ramming attack!

Mo Wushen’s body trembled as he plummeted towards the lava lake below, blood gushing from his mouth, his face deathly pale.

"Do you see now? This is the true power of this Emperor!" the Fire Bull bellowed. "You, an insignificant insect, dared to dream of challenging my divine might? You’re simply courting death! Now, die for this Emperor!"

Roaring like thunder, the Fire Bull stomped its four iron hooves towards Mo Wushen’s head. The terrifying pressure it exuded made Mo Wushen’s hair stand on end.

SWOOSH!

He hastily sidestepped, barely evading the deadly blow.

But just as he dodged, the Fire Bull’s tail whipped up with a sharp CRACK!, striking him across the face.

Mo Wushen was sent flying by the force of the blow, his cheek splitting open, blood gushing freely!

However, despite the excruciating pain, Mo Wushen didn’t scream. He didn’t even let out a grunt. But the look in his eyes had completely transformed!

A tide of blood rapidly engulfed his pupils, his eyes instantly turning a horrifying blood-red. They were like the eyes of a demon, glinting with a cold, terrifying light!

Moreover, his snow-white hair was rapidly being stained crimson.

"Hmm?" Seeing this, the Fire Bull was taken aback, a flicker of unease in its eyes.

Meanwhile, in the distant void, a black figure tore through the air towards them. It was the woman in the black skirt.

What’s going on? Why has Senior Brother Mo suddenly changed so drastically? I’ve never seen him like this before!

When she noticed Mo Wushen’s current transformation, she froze in the void, her face filled with horror.

Behind the woman in the black skirt was a colossal mountain peak, thousands of feet high.

Atop the peak, Qin Feiyang and Fatty stood shoulder to shoulder. The Wolf King lay on Qin Feiyang’s shoulder, also looking at Mo Wushen with bewildered eyes.

The Mo Wushen of this moment, whether in terms of aura or temperament, was like an entirely different person from the one they knew!

His hair, blood-red!

His eyes, blood-red!

A violent, blood-red energy billowed around him, seeming to pierce the heavens!

If the Mo Wushen of before resembled a god of slaughter, then the Mo Wushen now was the very incarnation of one!

BOOM!

Suddenly, Mo Wushen stabilized himself. He spun around and fixed a deathly glare on the Fire Bull. His bleeding, searingly painful cheek was a constant reminder of this lifetime’s humiliation, driving him to the brink of madness!

"AAAAARGH—!"

Suddenly, he threw his head back and let out a furious howl. His blood-red hair rippled behind him like a river of blood.

"Pain? I’m not afraid of it!" he roared. "Death? I fear it even less! But to strike my face is to trample my dignity, to desecrate my honor! Be it human or beast, none who do so will be forgiven!"

Killing intent surged from him like a tidal wave. He crossed the distance in a single bound, throwing a powerful punch at the Fire Bull.

"Hmph!" the Fire Bull snorted. "You think a mere change in appearance can scare this Emperor?"

It scoffed, then leaped high, its iron hooves crashing down towards Mo Wushen’s fist.

BOOM!

With a thunderous crash, Mo Wushen was blasted away, his arm shattering on impact, blood arcing through the air!

Hmm? Why hasn’t his strength increased at all? Qin Feiyang wondered, puzzled. He had assumed Mo Wushen’s combat power would be a notch higher now, but there seemed to be no change at all! Could this transformation be purely due to his humiliated rage?

But that was not the case.

Sent flying again, Mo Wushen managed to stabilize himself. This time, however, he seemed to have calmed down, no longer charging recklessly as before.

He looked at the Fire Bull and said, "Actually, killing you would be quite simple."

"Simple?" The Fire Bull was momentarily stunned, then sneered, "Are you out of your mind? With your paltry abilities, you dare make such arrogant claims?"

Mo Wushen said nothing more.

BOOM!

But the murderous intent radiating from him suddenly transformed.
