Asura Continent

The dead weeds surrounding the mountain wall had already been burnt to ashes. Flames spread, and one after another, fire snakes charged towards the nearby trees. Many of the trees were set ablaze. At this rate, it would not be long before the entire mountain would be burnt to ashes. Even Lu Yang would not be able to escape alive.

But, where did this fire come from in the middle of the day? Could someone have come here and set it on fire on purpose?

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yang felt that something wasn't right. Who would come here idle to fight fire? Even if they found something to set a fire, would they be able to escape before the flames fiercely burned? From the scene in front of him, it wasn't hard to tell that the fire had just been released, and the place where it had been released was this patch of grass right in front of him.

Lu Yang increased the speed of his feet. When he turned a corner and arrived in front of a deep hole in the mountain wall, he finally understood what was going on.

In front of the cave, the black panther was looking ahead angrily and anxiously. Not far from it, there was another red snake that was ten feet long. The red snake and the python's body were about the same size. The only difference was that their bodies were red, dazzling to the eye and shocking to the heart. What was even more peculiar was that there was a ball of meat on the head of the red snake. That ball of meat was as eye-catching as a crown.

"What kind of demonic beast is this?" Lu Yang could sense a powerful aura being emitted from the red body of the demon beast. He had already determined that it was a demon beast, and its cultivation was not low either, actually reaching Earth Stage. Could it be that the fire from before was released from this red body? Was this a demonic beast that had cultivated and was able to use demonic arts?

Just as he was thinking of this, he heard the black panther let out a low growl and shot a meaningful look at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang recovered from his shock and looked over. He saw blood stains on the black panther's body. There were even a few small bloody holes on its legs. Fresh blood was quickly flowing out. The blood that flowed out was not red, but dark black. It was not hard to tell that the black panther had been bitten by the red snake.

The black panther's aura was extremely weak. Its expression was one of absent-mindedness, and it seemed like it wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Just now, the black panther was reminding Lu Yang that it was going to stop the red snake and let Lu Yang take the little guy away.

At the entrance of the cave lay a small black panther. The small black panther was also completely black, and its appearance was somewhat similar to that of a kitten. Its furry body gave it an indescribably adorable appearance. At this moment, the little fellow was playing with a rock near the cave entrance. It was completely unaware that its mother was already on the verge of death. It wouldn't be long before it would leave its world.

Lu Yang also knew that Black Panther wouldn't be able to live for long. He too felt sympathy for this little fellow. Wasn't this the same as his own life? He also didn't have a mother, and his mother was thinking about how to live on in the face of danger. But at that time, he was already very old and had the ability to live on his own.

The little fellow in front of him was younger than him, and he had just been born. If his mother died and no one cared for him, he would die without a doubt.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Yang nodded his head heavily and then sprinted to the front of the cave.

However, just at this moment, the red snake moved and spat out a flame towards Lu Yang. It was a scarlet flame that was more than three meters long, and the temperature within the flame was extremely high. Even before it reached Lu Yang's body, he could clearly feel that the temperature was definitely above a hundred degrees.

The speed of the flames was too fast. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of him.

Right at this critical moment, the black panther made its move. It quickly pounced over and blocked that flame for Lu Yang.

When the flames fell on the black panther's body, all of its fur was charred and it released a disgusting stench before heavily collapsing onto the ground. The originally weak aura became even weaker. However, its eyes never left the little fellow who was at the cave entrance. The emotions in its eyes were extremely complicated; it was obvious that it was worried that the child would not be able to escape the demonic palms.

Look, look. The black panther closed its eyes, completely lifeless.

The fire snake glanced at the black panther and immediately focused its attention on Lu Yang. It twisted its body and quickly rushed over.

Lu Yang subconsciously took a step back. Facing a powerful fire snake, he didn't know what to do. If fire snakes like the Wolf King also couldn't use demonic beasts, he could use the Blood Devouring Berserker Blade to drive them away or inflict serious injuries. However, Fire Serpent spat out a burning flame. Even if he had used Blood Devouring Berserker Blade, he still wouldn't have been able to kill it.

The fire snake was already right in front of him. Lu Yang did not have the time to think about it, he had to make a decision.

Lu Yang clenched his teeth, retrieved the Blood Devouring Berserker Blade from his Universe Ring, stepped forward and charged straight towards the fire snake.

Fire Snake's eyes were filled with disdain, it seemed as if he did not put Lu Yang in his eyes. He suddenly raised his tail and slapped towards Lu Yang's body.

Lu Yang was really afraid of the Flame Serpent casting its demon beast. Seeing that it was its tail that was coming at him, he raised his wild saber and chopped towards the tail of the Flame Serpent. Next, he heard a clank as Blood Drinking Saber landed on the scales of the snake tail, causing sparks to fly, but it did not break the snake's defense. Lu Yang did not care if he could kill the Fire Snake. As long as he could touch the Fire Snake's body, he could channel his killing intent into the Fire God's body.

Killing intent surged out of the blade and into the fire snake's body.

Just as Lu Yang wanted to jump onto the neck of the fire snake and kill it, he was surprised to find that the killing intent that was injected into the fire snake's body had stopped. In the next moment, an even greater energy was released from the body of the fire snake. Under the immense force, it instantly struck the Blood Drinking Berserker Blade and sent both Lu Yang and the wild knife flying back by ten meters.

Lu Yang was surprised. He spun in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

At the same time, the fire snake also recovered its meaning. It could be seen that its cultivation was too high and the killing intent was no longer able to affect its mind.

Lu Yang was sure that this was no ordinary demon beast. A demon beast that could release a demonic technique and resist killing intent must have something special about it. If he were to continue fighting, it was unknown whether he could escape unscathed. How could he save the little fellow? If he turned around and left now, he might have a chance at survival.

But thinking of the little guy's fate, Lu Yang shook his head. He couldn't leave, he couldn't leave the little guy alone.

Fire Snake roared angrily. It was obviously angry. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a flame at Lu Yang.

The flame was even larger than before and its length hadn't changed, but its width had already reached 30 feet. Such a large flame, Lu Yang complained incessantly in his heart. Even if he could dodge it with difficulty, he probably wouldn't be able to retreat safely. Lu Yang clenched his teeth and rolled over towards a spot not too far away. That flame seemed to have grown a pair of eyes and closely followed Lu Yang. It seemed that it would not disappear until Lu Yang was killed.

The flames were about to land on the sound, and under the scorching flames, Lu Yang could already feel the taste of death.

Could it be that he would die just like that, on this mountaintop?

The moment this idea appeared, a scene that Lu Yang would have never dreamed of occurred. The instant the flame landed on his body, the jade wall in his embrace suddenly flew out and floated before him. A strange energy was released from the jade wall. This energy was exactly the same as the one from the gold ore. The moment the fire energy came in contact with the jade wall, it was actually absorbed into the jade wall.

The nine light spots on the jade wall appeared once again. This time, the last remaining light spot was not gold but red.

The red dot of light became more and more dazzling, and after absorbing the flames, it was so dazzling that it was hard to imagine. Lu Yang once again closed his eyes. When the light disappeared, Lu Yang opened his eyes and an extremely simple "fire" appeared on the jade wall. With a flash of the fire character, it disappeared and the jade wall returned to its embrace.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Yang definitely wouldn't have believed the scene in front of him. This scene was simply too strange. Even now, when Lu Yang touched the jade wall in his embrace, he still felt like he was dreaming. However, the flame in front of him had disappeared, and the fire serpent was still ten feet away. All of this meant that this was not a dream, but a real existence.

Lu Yang took a deep breath. He originally thought that the jade wall was useless, but he still needed this treasure to save him at a critical moment.

He knew how to deal with the fire serpents in front of him. Just as he was about to kill the fire serpents with the Blood Devouring Berserker Blade, he inadvertently glanced at his surroundings and once again opened his mouth. The surrounding flames had all disappeared, and the trees not too far away were still emitting smoke. Obviously, when the jade wall absorbed the flames, it had also absorbed the surrounding flames.

Lu Yang wasn't the only one who was surprised. The Scarlet Flame Fire Snake also widened its eyes and looked at Lu Yang as if it was looking at a monster.

The Scarlet Flame Fire Snake was still unwilling to give up. It did not believe that a human would have such an opinion. It opened its mouth and spat out another stream of flame.

The result was the same as before. Lu Yang didn't even need to do anything as the jade wall floated over his body. After absorbing all the flames, it returned to Lu Yang's embrace.

Lu Yang was extremely excited. The Scarlet Flame Fire Serpent was not afraid of its most powerful attack, so how could killing it be difficult?

Thinking up to here, Lu Yang walked towards the Scarlet Flame Serpent step by step, his face filled with killing intent.

On the other hand, the Scarlet Flame Fire Snake's eyes were filled with anxiety. It continued to spit out flames, but to no avail. It retreated step by step, not daring to fight with Lu Yang. When Lu Yang arrived in front of it, the Scarlet Flame Fire Snake seemed to know that it was no match for Lu Yang. It suddenly turned around and fled into the forest, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yang didn't have the time to chase after the Scarlet Flame Fire Snake. Although he had scared it away, it was still a little difficult to kill it. Moreover, this Scarlet Flame Fire Snake was extraordinary; who could guarantee that it wouldn't have a life-saving measure? If they really were to fight, it would be difficult to determine the victor. There was no need for Lu Yang to fight to the death with a demon beast.

Even if he were to take revenge for the black panther, it would be unwise to make a move now. Wouldn't it be better for the little fellow to take revenge himself when his cultivation level had increased in the future?

Lu Yang quickly arrived in front of the little fellow, hugged it in his arms and quickly ran in the direction he lived in.

However, even before he returned to the wooden house, Lu Yang saw a group of soldiers standing in front of the wooden house. The one leading them was Sun Fei.

Just then, one of the guards walked out of the room. He held a clean piece of clothing in his hand as he cupped his fist and said, "Commander Sun, that's all we found. There's no one in the room."

Sun Fei took a look at his clothes and knew that it was Lu Yang's. He said gloomily, "Search him for me, Lu Yang must be nearby. Don't let him get away..."
