"Hiss... " Slowly flowing magma, occasionally emitting waves of heat.

  How many warriors present have personally witnessed magma in the past?

  No!

  Continuous green hills, the two generations' experience is also the first time to see magma with their own eyes. The power of this magma completely shocked a group of fearless and reckless warriors. The outcome of those seven formidable warriors 'no bones left', made all the restless masters' hearts turn cold.

  "What an astonishing temperature!" Teng Qing Shan couldn't help but take a deep breath of cool air, "Most areas of this lava lake are golden-colored lava on the surface. Only at the very core is it eye-searing white lava. It's clear that the white lava has reached an unimaginable temperature. But even that golden-colored lava, its internal temperature is estimated to be even higher!"

  Boiling hot, so hot it can melt bones in the blink of an eye.

  "Everyone rush forward and grab the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  "Plunder the Lingguo, kill!"

  Those warriors far away in the outer circle, who couldn't see what was happening at the lava lake, were still shouting and trying to charge forward.

  Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow and glanced at the distant warriors shouting "Kill!": "This group of trouble-making warriors, the more masters from various sects die, the happier they'll be!" Just then, Gu Shiyou, the young master of Qing Hu Island, shouted loudly: "Everyone, let's compete for this Black Fire Spirit Fruit. However, we can't let those outside warriors cause trouble! Let's join hands, and kill anyone who rushes in or squeezes in from the outside!"

  "Old Withered agrees!" shouted Wei Canglong, the Iron Robe Gate's first to respond.

  "Agreed." Ji Hong also nodded.

  All parties in the inner circle agree to issue orders, ordering some personnel under their command to deal with the outer circle and prevent anyone from rushing inside.

  ……

  Note that the path is only a few dozen feet wide. The true warriors who can engage in close combat are only a handful.

  Some small sects and scattered warriors, indeed occupy an absolute advantage in number. However, the team is lined up hundreds of feet away, the vast majority of warriors are at the back, can only shout loudly. It's impossible to participate in the battle. And the warriors who can participate in the battle are really too few. It's impossible to threaten the elite masters of various major sects!

  One man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it!

  Each major faction, casually send out some elites, block the main channel, and take turns going up!

  At this moment, those martial artists who attempted to create chaos and take advantage of the situation did not dare to move.

  Whoever moves, kills whoever!

  "Kill him!" someone behind shouted.

  "What's with all your yelling? If you want to rush in, then rush in!" The warrior in front had gotten angry. "You're just sitting back there watching the show, while I'm risking my life?"

  No one is stupid! No one will sacrifice their precious life for others.

  "These warriors, without a unified command, how can they win?" Teng Qing Shan saw that the battlefield was so small, "Even if those thousands of warriors were willing to risk their lives and the top masters of various sects fought each other to the death. The total number of people from various sects is almost a thousand. They could be killed! What's more, most of these people are just here to watch the excitement. Who would want to lose their life?"

  In an extremely short period of time, the chaotic situation was brought under control.

  Hong Qing Shan took a glance around the lava lake: "There are nearly a thousand people from all sides. Only two or three hundred can join the battle instantly."

  "Commander Tong." Teng Qing Shan looked at Ji Hong.

  "Don't be in a hurry, whoever takes the lead will be asking for death!" Ji Hong sneered, "Without absolute invincible strength, it's better to endure for now!"

  Hong Qing Shan and Guan Lu stood behind Ji Hong.

  Just as the masters of various major forces were thinking about how to seize the method, suddenly, a phantom shot towards the center of the magma lake at an extremely fast speed. Almost by conditioned reflex, more than half of the many masters surrounding the magma lake instantly threw out the hidden weapons in their hands!

  Or flying knives and even stones picked up at random.

  Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

  A large number of hidden weapons seemed to sweep in like a whirlwind, surging towards that illusory figure.

  Rumble...

  Only a blur of cyan light flashed, completely wrapping the figure in it. All that could be heard was 'ding' 'ding' 'ding'... A dense barrage of impacts slowed down the figure's speed slightly as it resisted so many hidden weapons. It should be known that this lava lake is tens of meters wide.

  From the edge, flew to the center, with a distance of over ten zhang!

  "That's almost thirty meters! A top-notch martial artist, undisturbed, could barely fly up with all his might!" Teng Qing Shan looked at the figure and said, "But he, originally able to fly up, was affected by many hidden projectiles."

  "It's the Thunder God Knife 'Wu Yue'!" a voice rang out.

  It's Wu Yue, the Thunder God Knife!

  The ninth-ranked Super Strongman on the Earth Ranking!

  That disheveled long hair, sharp eyes, sleeves fluttering in the wind, and that one long knife flashing with cold light. Completely revealed his identity - Wu Yue, the Thunder God of Knives!

  What a bold move! Wu Yue, the Thunder God Knife, actually dares to snatch the Black Fire Spirit Fruit right under the noses of many powerful experts!

  "What a pity, a master of his generation is about to meet his demise." Many people couldn't help but sigh at this scene.

  Even a master of "The Earth Ranking" would be reduced to nothing but bones if they fell into the magma.

  "Not good!" Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow and gazed at the Wu Yue sword hovering in mid-air.

  "Whoosh!" Wu Yue's eyes didn't show a hint of panic, his left hand swiftly pulled out a book from his bosom and threw it forward with a spin. The book spun around while Wu Yue's agile figure descended, one foot landing on the book.

  "Ah!"

  The book was trampled and fell into the magma with a loud "Boom!" The surface of the magma flow suddenly burst into flames, and the book turned to ashes.

  Wu Yue also borrowed that one kick's force and flew several zhangs, directly falling towards the black boulder in the center of the lava lake.

  It sounds slow but is actually quick and swift!

  "Not good!" Ji Hong, Wei Canglong, Gu Shiyou, Du Jiu, and the two elderly men in black and white... A large group of experts all changed their expressions. With the strength of the 9th place on the Earth List, if Wu Yue could stand firm, he would have a foothold. Those people dozens of feet away would not be able to threaten him at all.

  Even if it's difficult to threaten, everyone won't just watch him succeed.

  "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!"...

  A large number of hidden weapons once again swept towards the Thunder God Knife 'Wu Yue', on the Teng Qing Mountain by the lake of magma, also holding a flying knife in hand, with piercing eyes staring at that figure: "Wu Yue! Although I have a good impression of you, however... at critical moments, I also cannot hold back anymore."

  Just as Tun Qing Shan was waiting for an opportunity and preparing to make his move—

  "Ah!" A low, mournful cry burst forth from his throat.

  Just as the Thunder God Knife 'Wu Yue' stepped onto the black boulder with one foot, "Whoosh!" Flames erupted from his right foot, setting it on fire! The Thunder God Knife 'Wu Yue' didn't even have time to take two steps forward to pick the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. Just as the Thunder God Knife 'Wu Yue' landed his right foot on the boulder...

  Whoosh!

  He suddenly and quickly flew towards the direction of the lake, and the long knife in his hand also opened up many hidden weapons.

  Everyone was stunned by this scene!

  "Get out of the way!" Wu Yue bellowed, swinging his knife fiercely in a wide arc. The warriors immediately retreated in all directions. Wu Yue flipped over and landed on one knee, simultaneously grabbing his right foot with both hands. His shoe had already burned away, revealing a foot that was bright red and bloody, with the toes charred to the bone.

  Everyone was stunned!

  Hong Qing Shan was shocked, looking at the black boulder in the center of the Lava Lake: "That Wu Yue, stepped on it with one foot, and then immediately kicked off, returning to where he came from. In that process, his foot was on that black boulder for absolutely less than a second! And in that brief moment, he burned a top-notch martial artist's foot into this state!"

  Everyone was stunned!

  What's going on with that black rock being roasted to such a terrible extent?

  Teng Qing Shan's gaze fell on the black stone surrounded by the bubbling white magma: "Ah! That black stone seems to be blocking the magma conduit at the bottom of the earth! The surrounding area is constantly spewing out white magma, and that white magma has a temperature that is unimaginably high. And this black stone, having been in contact with the white magma for years on end, how could it not be scorching hot?"

  Iron heat conduction is exaggerated.

  That black stone is probably a rare mineral material similar to 'Wan Nian Han Tie'. It must be good at conducting heat! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been scalded to such an extent.

  "The white magma is boiling to the extreme. This black stone, it looks ordinary on the surface, but the temperature of the stone's surface is at least several hundred degrees!" Teng Qing Shan inferred.

  ……

  "Hurry up and give me the chilled iron war boots!"

  The voice of a friend from afar in ancient times has arrived, at this moment, many masters have started changing their boots.

  "That stone is so hot that ordinary leather boots would catch fire as soon as they touch it, we have to rely on our Black Armor Army's combat boots." Ji Hong said with a smile, the high-ranking members of the Black Armor Army had unified heavy armor equipment, not just on their bodies, but also on their feet, necks and heads.

  Helmet, neck guard, and combat boots, those combat boots can also withstand swords.

  Teng Qing Shan, Ji Hong and Guan Lü were all wearing combat boots. The combat boots of Ji Hong and Guan Lü even contained a mix of Xuan Iron, while Teng Qing Shan's combat boots also had a mix of Thousand Year Cold Iron. Combat boots made from such precious materials would not be able to catch fire in those high temperatures, nor could they melt.

  "That Thunder God Knife 'Wu Yue' is a lone wolf, wearing ordinary leather boots. Stepping on it would be quite unlucky." Ji Hong smiled.

  Teng Qing Shan looked around and saw that many experts nearby were changing their boots. Good steel boots were heavy to wear, putting a lot of pressure on the feet. Therefore, except for military personnel, most internal martial arts experts wore comfortable leather boots.

  "Qing Shan, Guan Lu!" Ji Hong said in a low voice, "Now everyone is eager to move, our strength can't be the first to take action! However... everyone is about to lose patience. Once they all rush up, Guan Lu, you stay here and guard this place! Qing Shan, follow me and charge over there! We'll seize that Black Fire Spirit Fruit and Black Fire Spirit Root!"

  Green eyebrows furrowed: "I..."

  Ji Hong's face sank, and Guan Lu immediately fell silent, only glancing at Teng Qing Shan.

  Ji Hong glanced around, the other masters also accumulated their strength. Ji Hong lowered his voice and said: "Qing Shan, we'll have to make a move later! If we get the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, the Sect Master will likely give it to you! If we only get the Black Fire Spirit Root... that thing, the Sect Master won't even look at it. So, our most important goal is to focus on that Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  "Yes." Teng Qing Shan held the Wheel Returning Gun and replied in a low voice.
