Gurgling...

  The magma lake's scorching air currents couldn't stop the excitement of the warriors around, they all wanted to see Teng Qing Shan and that demonic beast fight!

  "Ah!"

  A shadowy figure flew rapidly from the edge of the lava lake to the center, where a large black rock was located. Teng Qing Shan's six senses were sharp: "Huh? Is that the silver-haired old man! He actually came again!" Among the five powerful experts who were knocked flying by the Red Scale Beast, one died and another was crippled. The Black Elder also felt some fear.

  Only this silver-haired old man called 'Wang Yun' flew over again!

  "A postnatal warrior is nothing to worry about!" Teng Qing Shan descended and rushed towards the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.

  The giant skull of the crimson-scaled beast leaned against a black boulder, its scarlet pupils fixed on Mount Tengqing. Suddenly, a hint of playful glint flashed across its eyes. From between the rows of white teeth, a long red shadow darted out, like lightning, and in an instant, it streaked past that single Black Fire Spirit Fruit!

  In just an instant!

  The Black Flame Fruit has disappeared!

  Only the transparent spiritual root remained, rooted in the crevices of the black boulder.

  "Abomination!!" The silver-haired old man 'Wang Yun' who was flying in mid-air suddenly let out a furious roar.

  "Looking for death!"

  Hong Qing's face turned ugly, and he let out a low growl. The wheel gun in his hand instantly transformed into a flash of lightning, shooting straight towards the Red Scale Beast's skull in the lava lake.

  "Roar~~" The red-scaled beast let out a triumphant roar and immediately sank quickly into the molten rock.

  Hmph!

  The drill bit plunged into the lava flow and then withdrew immediately.

  "This Crimson Scaled Beast is intentionally doing this!" Teng Qing Shan had a hint of annoyance, "When it previously pounced on the five of us, it completely had enough time to eat the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. But it didn't! It intentionally waited for me to come over, letting me feel like I had hope in obtaining the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, then suddenly ate the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  The tongue of the red scale beast is as fast as a poisonous snake spitting out its fangs.

  In an instant, in a flash, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit was gone.

  Heng Qing Shan didn't even have time to react.

  "All of this is clearly under the control of the Red Scale Beast. Hmph! It seems that last time I hurt it, it still remembers it." Teng Qing Shan also felt that the Red Scale Beast had intelligence no less than that of humans, "However, for me, the Black Fire Spirit Root is more important than the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

  Hong Qing Shan immediately looked at the 'Black Fire Spirit Root' that was rooted in the black boulder, the transparent Black Fire Spirit Root had a special luster, and mysterious energy was flowing through it. It was this energy that could nurture the precious 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit'.

  "Hei Huo Ling Gen, contains mysterious energy. Ordinary people who eat it can instantly possess the strength of ten thousand pounds. I don't know what will happen if I eat it and fully unleash its energy. What kind of realm will I reach?" Just as Teng Qing Shan was about to pull out the Hei Huo Ling Gen...

  "Huh!" A sword light hacked towards Teng Qing Shan.

  It was indeed the silver-haired elder 'Wang Yun'!

  "Hmph!" Teng Qing Shan let out a cold snort, and with one hand holding the Wheel of Reincarnation Gun, he suddenly jabbed backwards with the gun's handle, poking at the silver-haired old man 'Wang Yun' with the tip, while his left hand went to pull out the Black Fire Spirit Root!

  Pong!

  Changdao and Teng Qing Shan's guns clashed violently.

  Pomfret!

  A mighty collision, producing a deafening and terrifying explosion! The bursting air current produced a fierce gust of wind. It spread in all directions, creating ripples on the entire surface of the scorching hot lava lake.

  Hong Qingshan was shocked and took three steps forward involuntarily.

  "Master! Absolutely a master, far surpassing Meng Tian's strength!" Teng Qing Shan was shocked, but immediately became excited in his heart. He burst out laughing and at the same time, he spun around like lightning, his wheel gun drawing an arc, carrying visible aura that directly smashed towards the silver-haired old man's head.

  Clang!

  Teng Qing Shan clearly felt the strange vibrations transmitted through the gun handle: "What a formidable expert! Unseen and unheard of, this person is not even on the Earth List. I don't know where he came from. Probably a master who has been cultivating for decades and is very good at hiding his strength." Teng Qing Shan's long spear moved swiftly in his hand.

  "Whoosh!"

  Hong Qing Shan pulled the trigger, a flash of silver light, the gun head stabbed forward fiercely, the air whistled, like a thunderbolt striking.

  "Clang!"

  The silver-haired old man had just blocked this shot and felt the strange spiral force contained in it, as if to roll up the battle knife in his hand. The silver-haired old man's heart sank: "Hmph, can't waste time with this kid! Quick fight, quick decision!" Suddenly, a series of dazzling knife lights flashed out!

  Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

  Nine sword lights flashed up, and at the same time, there were gun shadows like lightning!

  Every gunshot and every knife flash collided!

  "Hmm."

  At the moment of their encounter, the silver-haired old man suddenly ducked down, like a fish making a swift leap, and appeared beside Hei Huo Linggen. The most bizarre thing was his left hand, which swung lightly and effortlessly. Even with Tian Qing Mountain's exceptional eyesight, he could only barely see a fleeting shadow.

  The Black Fire Spirit Root is gone!

  "Haha, Teng Qing Shan, indeed a young master. This old man has been cultivating for decades and can only barely win by a slight margin." A loud laughter echoed, the silver-haired elder's figure had already appeared at the center of the Lava Lake.

  "Leave behind the Black Flame Spirit Root!"

  Teng Qing Shan let out a loud roar and with one kick, he launched himself towards the lake of magma on a large black boulder. However, deep down, Teng Qing Shan was shocked: "This old man, just now in that instant, every single knife strike contained at least 100,000 jin of impact force! And under those circumstances, he could still display an eerie and extreme movement technique. I didn't even have time to react!"

  Bizarre!

  That's right, it's eerie!

  Teng Qing Shan even thought that, just in terms of physical skills, even if he were to unleash all his strength, it would be hard for him to compare with the opponent: "This old fellow should be able to rank in the top few on the Earth Ranking List. He is an opponent who cannot be missed!" Teng Qing Shan absolutely could not let go of this opponent, and was determined to have a battle with him.

  The most important thing is the Black Fire Spirit Root, and the momentum of Mount Tengqing must be obtained!

  ……

  The direction in which this silver-haired old man fled was actually towards Qinghu Island.

  "Stop him!" The young master of Qinghu Island, Gu Shiyou, shouted loudly, with many skilled fighters standing behind him in unison. Some people uniformly pulled out their long guns, and dozens of gun shadows seemed to cover the silver-haired old man like a fishing net. As soon as the silver-haired old man landed by the lake, he quickly dodged to one side.

  Wow!

  Like a fish, he slipped into the crowd of masters on Qinghu Island.

  "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"...

  A string of mournful cries, blood splattered everywhere, and the silver-haired old man easily broke through the encirclement of Qinghu Island's troops.

  "Kill him and take the Black Fire Spirit Root! He's just one person, no match for us!" someone shouted loudly. However, it was clear that most of the onlookers behind them didn't want to fight for the Black Fire Spirit Root, despite its ability to easily create a top-notch warrior and improve one's physique.

  However, ordinary warriors can't keep it even if they get it.

  After dodging past Qinghu Island's obstruction, that silver-haired old man was like a fish entering the sea, agilely and swiftly flying away.

  "Run away!"

  Hong Qing Shan let out a loud roar and his speed suddenly increased by 30-40%, quickly chasing after him.

  ……

  Two great masters, one escaped and the other pursued, disappeared from the sight of many masters in the blink of an eye. Now, in the center of the fiery lava lake, there is no longer a Black Fire Spirit Root or a Black Fire Spirit Fruit. Of course, at the bottom of a certain part of the lava flow, the Red Scale Beast may be lurking, but no one dares to provoke it.

  "Didn't expect so many masters to die, this time it's really exciting."

  "Hmm, the White Elder of the Carefree Palace is dead, and so is Quan Yan from the Benevolent Water Sect, who was eaten by the Red Scale Beast! Our Xu Yang County's Mr. Li also fell into the magma lake and died, and Du Jiu, the 'Life and Death Blade' from Qing Hu Island, is also dead... The number of top-notch masters who have died is countless!"

  One by one, they nodded in admiration.

  The master's death can satisfy those warriors' desire for drama.

  Man dies for wealth, birds perish for food!

  However, the top-notch masters who are already disdainful of wealth, can go crazy for the spiritual fruits and grasses born in the world, which are precious and rare materials that can be used to forge divine weapons.

  "That Wang Yun is really strong, he actually managed to snatch the Black Fire Spirit Root! That Tuo Qing Shan seems to be weaker than him by a notch."

  "Teng Qing Shan is not weak, it's just that Wang Xuan's body method is too strange and agile. In a real fight, who wins or loses between the two of them is still hard to say. You didn't see that the two black and white elders joined forces but couldn't suppress Teng Qing Shan. This skill... tsk tsk... it's said that Teng Qing Shan is only 17 years old."

  "Seventeen years old and already so strong, what the hell!"

  ……

  This time the Black Fire Spirit Fruit was contested for, but who would have thought that in the end it was actually snatched away by the Red Scale Beast.

  It was also the Red Scale Beast's good fortune that the Black Fire Spirit Fruit happened to be growing in the center of the Lava Lake, allowing it to sneak in. Otherwise, surrounded by so many warriors, dozens of top-notch warriors joining forces would have been able to suppress this Red Scale Beast. After all, it hadn't truly transformed yet.

  ******

  This time, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit contest had no winner.

  Ji Hong's forehead was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, as he endured the pain of his broken arm. He shouted: "Alright, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit has been eaten by that Red Scale Beast. Let's head back first. The shed scales of the Red Scale Beast... we'll search for them slowly when our luck improves."

  "General Tong, Qing Shan is..." Teng Qinghu said anxiously.

  Ji Hong glanced at him and forced a smile: "Qing Shan's marksmanship is extremely strong in defense. That Wang Yun, although he was hiding his strength, it's not that easy to defeat Qing Shan either. Moreover, none of us can be an opponent for that Wang Yun."

  At this time, people from all sides also left one by one. Occasionally, someone would say hello to Ji Hong.

  "Shibo Zu!" Guan Lu suddenly said.

  "Hmm?" Ji Hong looked at him.

  "I'll take thirty elite Black Armor troops to help Gu Qing Shan," said Guan Lu.

  Ji Hong thought for a moment, Gu Lü's strength was not bad, the Black Armor Army was good at joint attacks, and thirty elite soldiers could indeed threaten Wang Yun. He nodded and said, "Hmm, okay! However, Gu Lü, you must be careful, don't let those thirty Black Armor Army elites disperse."

  Nodded in agreement.

  "If you're going, then go quickly." Ji Hong shouted.

  "Follow me!" With a single order from Guan Lu, he immediately led thirty elites towards the deep pool passage.

  Ji Hong looked at his severed arm, then gazed at the boiling lava lake. If it weren't for Teng Qing Shan, he would have lost his life today. Ji Hong sighed inwardly: "I've lost my right arm and suffered a severe internal injury. At my age, my strength will definitely decline! Alas, I should step down from this leadership position... Hmm... who should succeed me? Teng Qing Shan? He owes me a debt of gratitude for saving his life, but he lacks experience and has been in the Black Armor Army for too short a time! I'm afraid those elders back at the Yuan Sect won't trust him."
