Chapter 84: Mutated King Cobra

The king cobra was coiled there, half of its body standing upright, with a pair of giant pale yellow vertical pupils firmly staring at Wei Yang and Xian'er suspended in the air. 

A few scales on its body were cracked, but no blood seeped out. Under the burning of the yellow-brown flames, those cracked scales were slowly healing. 

Wei Yang and Xian'er exchanged a glance, both quietly frowning. 

This unknown snake-type magical beast not only had powerful defense and terrifying attack but even its recovery ability was astonishingly impressive! 

What a troublesome foe. 

Hiss~ 

The king cobra slightly opened its mouth, flickering its tongue like a sharp sword, letting out a soft hissing sound. 

Whoosh~ 

Strong winds began to swirl in the surrounding void. Accompanied by its opening mouth, yellow-brown flames spewed forth from its throat. 

The flames, borrowing the power of the wind, burned fiercely. The overwhelming sea of fire, carrying terrifying high temperatures, swept toward Wei Yang and Xian'er in the air. 

As the sea of fire surged, it began to whirl rapidly, eventually forming a massive fiery tornado, with an impressive momentum. 

Roar~ 

Within the fiery tornado, faint dragon roars seemed to echo. 

Indeed! 

Such a scene caused Wei Yang's eyes to brighten. He became increasingly convinced that this snake-type magical beast must have come into contact with that kind of different fire. 

Unexpectedly, there's a surprise bonus. 

He took a light breath of the scorching air, opened his palms, and two dark red flames blazed from his palms, transforming into two vivid small fire dragons. 

"Go!" 

Wei Yang lightly commanded, pushing both hands forward. 

Roar~ 

Roar~ 

The two small fire dragons shot out swiftly, their bodies rapidly expanding. With the support of Wei Yang's abundant Dou Qi, they instantly grew to dozens of meters long. 

On the other side, Xian'er also pushed forward with her palms simultaneously; two gray-white fire dragons with dark red hues quickly shot out. 

The surrounding fire energy swarmed in, merging into the fire dragons, augmenting their vigor. 

Roar~ 

The four fire dragons, each over ten meters long, roared and charged toward the fiery tornado. 

The technique of controlling flames with multiple dragons reached the quasi-earth level in power. 

Although the combined power of the four fire dragons conjured by Wei Yang and Xian'er wasn't additive, it was still terrifyingly potent. 

Boom! 

The loud explosion resounded once more. 

This time, the four fire dragons clearly held the upper hand. They broke through the obstruction of the fiery tornado, then, carrying roughly half of their remaining power, blasted around the king cobra. 

Boom! 

The fierce explosion and energy shockwave, accompanied by strong winds and a sea of flames, spread out. 

Hiss~ 

The king cobra let out a hiss filled with pain and fury. 

"Xian'er, let's attack with all our strength and take it down!" Wei Yang said, pushing his palms out again. 

Two more fire dragons swiftly shot out, transforming into massive fire dragons and plunging into the explosion center below. 

"Alright!" Xian'er nodded beside him, also condensing two fire dragons and throwing them down. 

Strike while it's weak, take its life. 

Then, as they repeatedly pushed their palms, one fire dragon after another continuously bombarded down. 

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

The intense explosion sounds echoed endlessly. 

Small fiery mushroom clouds rose one after another. 

The entire area became utterly turbulent. 

It was as if it had turned into a fiery inferno. 

...

On a distant large sand dune. 

Qinglin stood there, her small face full of tension as she gazed at the intense battle ahead, a trace of worry in her eyes. 

The area had completely transformed into a raging sea of fire. 

The continuous, faint sound of explosions sent chills down her spine. 

"Young Master, Sister Xian'er, please be careful." Qinglin clasped her hands together, silently praying. 

With her current Dou Qi level only at stage four, she didn't dare to approach at all. 

...

Whoosh~ 

In the vast sea of fire, a long snake tail suddenly lashed out with the sound of an explosion. 

"Good creature, it's still not dead?" 

Having just stopped and preparing to rest to recover his Dou Qi, Wei Yang was taken aback. Without much thought, he moved quickly forward, striking with his palm. 

Roaring Lion's Roar! 

A red-gold energy lion head appeared in front of his palm, colliding fiercely with the oncoming snake tail. 

Boom! 

Wei Yang grunted, his figure being propelled back more than ten meters by a huge force, his entire arm numbed and trembling from that massive power. 

"What terrifying physical power, to hold the upper hand against my Roaring Lion's Roar merely with physical strength?" Wei Yang was shocked and furious. 

And the snake tail, after a slight pause in the air, lashed out again. 

She disregarded her own exhaustion, moving swiftly to stand before Wei Yang, and struck out two gray-white fire dragons with her palms once more. 

Boom! 

The close-range explosion impact also sent Xian'er flying, her small face turning somewhat pale. 

"Xian'er." Wei Yang flapped his wings, catching Xian'er and swiftly flying into the high sky. 

Only after flying to a height of dozens of meters did they stop. 

"Xian'er, are you alright?" Wei Yang hurriedly asked. 

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I'm fine, just a little exhausted." Xian'er, her face slightly pale, her chest heaving a few times before gradually calming down, shook her head. 

After carefully examining her and finding no injuries, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. 

The two had just unleashed the multi-dragon flame control technique several times against that beast, conducting a fierce bombardment, which consumed quite a bit of Dou Qi. 

After all, it was a quasi-earth level Dou Technique. 

Who would have thought that under such bombardment, not only was the beast unscathed, but it also seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. 

However, now that they had temporarily withdrawn from battle, their inner Dou Qi began to recover at an extremely fast pace. 

There was no need to take pills to recover. 

Especially Wei Yang, his recovery speed was even faster, just needing a little time to catch his breath, he could regain the strength to fight. 

Yet, Wei Yang frowned. 

This beast was no longer just a troublesome issue but seemed somewhat unbeatable! 

Its defense was excessively strong, wasn't it? 

He looked down with a mixture of suspicion and uncertainty. 

...

Below. 

As the explosion's aftershock gradually subsided, the figure of that snake-type magical beast was revealed. 

It appeared somewhat battered, with many scales falling off, its skin and flesh torn in places. 

However, these were merely superficial wounds and did not injure its muscles or bones. 

Furthermore, as the yellow-brown flames on its body burned, the wounds were visibly stopping bleeding and scabbing over at a speed detectable to the naked eye. 

Its formidable physical body granted it an exceedingly exaggerated regeneration ability. 

Seeing this, Wei Yang and Xian'er exchanged a look, feeling somewhat speechless. 

In their hearts, a sense of powerlessness arose. 

How could they possibly fight this? 

...

Hiss~ 

The king cobra opened its mouth, letting out an ear-piercing screech. Though it seemed somewhat battered, it still exuded a formidable aura. 

Half of its body upright, it looked up into the sky, its pale yellow vertical pupils fixed on Wei Yang and Xian'er, with a hint of decidedly human-like provocation flashing in its eyes, arrogantly flicking its forked tongue. 

With its massive body, the yellow-brown flames burned even fiercer, surrounded by gusts of strong wind, enhancing the flames by borrowing the power of the wind. 

Such audacity... incredibly fierce. 

"Damn it!" Wei Yang's breathing became somewhat heavy, his chest heaving. 

Faced with such blatant provocation from the beast, he felt a blaze of anger in his heart. 

Too audacious. 

Unrestrained arrogance, courting death! 

Wei Yang moved, intending to fight once more. 

At this moment, a jade-like hand grabbed Wei Yang's arm. 

Turning his head, Wei Yang said to Xian'er, "Xian'er, let go of me; I'll go down and face that beast again!" 

Hearing this, Xian'er not only didn't let go but instead grasped Wei Yang's arm even tighter with both hands. 

She shook her head, gently advising, "Brother Yang, don't be impulsive! We can't defeat it for now. It's better to wait until we're stronger to settle scores with it later." 

"If we keep fighting it like this, we won't have a good outcome, possibly leading to mutual destruction." 

"We've just arrived and are unfamiliar with the area, while it's fighting on home ground... So, let's leave it for today." 

"We should prioritize finding that different fire; we're not far from it, just a day or two at most." 

Upon hearing this, Wei Yang took a deep breath, ultimately nodding unwillingly, "Fine." 

He gave the snake-type magical beast a hate-filled glare from below, biting his teeth and thinking bitterly, "I'll let you off this time; I'll come back and give you hell another day!" 

Even if it wasn't just to vent his anger, he needed to come back for information on the other kind of fire. 

Hence, he would inevitably return to continue causing trouble for it someday.
