The Blazing Flame Serpent seemed to sense the toughness of Ding Fan and the others. Its shadowy eyes coldly turned in the direction where Ding Fan was, and its long tongue now flicked out from the serpentās mouth.
As the serpentās tongue flicked out of its mouth, a terrifying heat began to surge throughout the secret passage.
A look of solemnity emerged in Ding Fanās eyes, and his body involuntarily tensed.
Beside him, Zhuge Qing watched the terrifying heat emanating from the serpentās body, his eyes flickering slightly and the corners of his mouth quivering. He then said to Ding Fan in a deep voice:
"Brother Ding, the strength of this Blazing Flame Serpent might be beyond our imagination..."
A sharp light flashed in Ding Fanās eyes as he said to Zhuge Qing:
"Regardless of the serpentās power, since Iāve discovered this place today, I must see for myself what treasures it hides!"
As soon as Ding Fan finished speaking, a strange light appeared in the eyes of the two divine warriors beside him. They exchanged glances and then both lowered their heads.
Ding Fan focused all his attention on the serpent, his eyes filled with coldness. A fierce wave of energy erupted from his body.
When this terrifying energy surged from Ding Fanās body, ripples spread across the entire sky.
As these ripples spread out, a vicious look flashed in the serpentās eyes. It flicked its tongue, opened its gaping maw, and terrifying waves of heat gathered inside. As this immense wave consolidated, the temperature in the entire passage rose once more.
In just a few breaths, the serpent spewed an overwhelming heatwave from its mouth, rushing towards Ding Fan like magma.
Ding Fanās eyes filled with astonishment, and his body tensed involuntarily as soft streams of heat gathered within him.
Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers all showed a look of horror in their eyes, shouting to Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, be extremely careful! The power of this serpent is terrifying to the extreme!"
Upon hearing Xia Ling and the Yuan brothersā words, Ding Fanās eyes also filled with gravity, violent waves of energy bursting from within him, causing his body to flicker slightly.
After the brief encounter, Ding Fan realized the terrifying heat within the serpentās magma, a power his current body couldnāt withstand. With this in mind, he darted away.
As Ding Fan dashed out, the wild magma shot out in his direction, burning a massive pit on the ground.
A terrible heat erupted from the pit, with waves of searing heat gushing forth.
Ding Fan squinted his eyes, his face now marked with a serious expression.
Zhuge Qing, upon witnessing the terrifying magma spewed from the serpentās mouth, also squinted his eyes, his cold gaze piercing through.
"Brother Ding, the serpent before us might have already reached King-level strength..."
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingās words, Ding Fan asked him, "A King-level serpent? What kind of power is that?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanās question, Zhuge Qing replied:
"King-level serpents can utilize not just their own power, but also harness the surrounding forces of nature. This means the entire Magma Power here can be used by the serpent in front of us!"
A look of concern flashed through Ding Fanās eyes as he said to Zhuge Qing in shock:
"So, as long as the serpent remains in the magma, itās practically invincible?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanās words, Zhuge Qing frowned deeply and said:
"Yes, but..."
Ding Fanās eyes lit up, and he asked Zhuge Qing, "But what?!"
A gleam flashed in Zhuge Qingās eyes, and his lips quivered slightly as he said to Ding Fan:
"But you must find the serpentās weak spot to truly defeat this King-level serpent before us!"
A spark lit in Ding Fanās eyes as he said to Zhuge Qing:
"A serpentās weakness is its heart! If I strike it there, couldnāt I utterly defeat it?!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanās words, Zhuge Qing gently shook his head and replied: "No, the Blazing Flame Serpentās weak spot isnāt there. In fact, every serpent has a different weak point. We must find the truly vulnerable spot!"
Ding Fanās pupils contracted sharply, a sharp light erupting from his eyes. He spoke in a calm voice:
"No matter how strong this serpent is, since I discovered it here, I will not give up!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanās words, Zhuge Qingās eyes gleamed as he said to Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, since youāve decided, Iāll lend you a hand!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Fanās eyes brimmed with gratitude, and he nodded slightly at Zhuge Qing with a trembling smile.
As Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing conversed, a look of anger flashed in the serpentās eyes, its massive form swelling with terrifying force as its shadowy eyes glared coldly in Ding Fanās direction.
Feeling the serpentās icy gaze, Ding Fanās lips curled into a mocking smile, and he calmly said, "You beast, let me truly witness your might today!"
The Blazing Flame Serpent seemed to understand Ding Fanās words, and a terrifying aura erupted from it, its massive body coiling towards Ding Fan.
As the serpent coiled around Ding Fan, its body turned crimson, a searing heat erupting from its flesh.
A gleam of determination flashed in Ding Fanās eyes as he sprang forward. As his body moved, a pitch-black Iron Sword appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming fiercely.
A wild Sword Qi erupted from Ding Fanās Iron Sword. With a swift motion, the Sword Qi swept across the serpentās body.
The sound of fierce metal collision resonated from the serpentās body, and Ding Fan saw that it only left a slight scar on the serpentās flesh.
"What terrifying skin..." A soft voice murmured from Ding Fanās mouth.
A fierce light shone in Ding Fanās eyes as he released a wild burst of power from within him.
Upon feeling Ding Fanās attack, a look of disdain appeared in the serpentās shadowy eyes. Its massive body coiled slightly, attempting once again to ensnare Ding Fan.
Ding Fanās eyes turned cold, and his body vanished from where he stood.
Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers all showed a look of concern in their eyes, anxiously warning:
"Brother Ding, be extremely careful; the serpentās strength is beyond our imagination!"
