Guan Yue saw Lei Zhenxiao flying towards his Battleship and immediately blocked his path, mocking him, "Lei Zhenxiao, we haven't determined the victor yet. Aren't you trying to catch me? You can't just leave like this."
Lei Zhenxiao shouted urgently, "If you have the guts, let's fight openly. You’ve been scheming to sabotage my Battleship; what kind of hero does that make you?"
"I'm not a hero; I just find you unpleasant. Come on, let's continue fighting. Since you've brought your Battleship here, you surely don't want it back. We can't refuse your good intentions."
"Who sent you the Battleship? Nonsense! I must reclaim my Battleship. You rabble do not deserve to use such a noble Battleship."
What frustrated Lei Zhenxiao the most was that he dared not unleash the Sky-Soaring Swallow in front of Feng Zhi Yi. This was a special tool given to him by the Nanshan Sect specifically for dealing with Feng Zhi Yi, and since Guan Yue had also faced someone wearing the Sky-Soaring Swallow, he couldn't use this Treasure, which further irritated Lei Zhenxiao.
Lei Zhenxiao had lost all his usual composure and grace; all that remained was anger and impatience. He could not afford to lose his Battleship. At this moment, he disregarded his own life and death; all he could think about was his Battleship. Without it, his dignity would be utterly destroyed!
Guan Yue recognized this as an excellent opportunity. Lei Zhenxiao had gone mad, and his Combat Power would surely surge at this moment. It was a perfect chance for him to hone his skills, so Guan Yue launched another attack at the furious Lei Zhenxiao.
"You seek death." Lei Zhenxiao's demeanor changed dramatically; something sealed within him finally erupted. A tremendous aura began to revive from within Lei Zhenxiao's body. The true protective measure given to him by the Nanshan Sect was activated after he was truly enraged.
Feng Zhi Yi saw the change in Lei Zhenxiao from a distance; her expression changed rapidly several times before she shouted, "Nanshan Flame!" At the same time, she hurriedly fled into the distance. Clearly, the presence of Nanshan Flame within Lei Zhenxiao surprised her greatly.
Nanshan Flame? Guan Yue instantly teleported away from Lei Zhenxiao's side; he wanted to see what this Nanshan Flame was all about. Given Feng Zhi Yi's terrified reaction, it must possess immense power.
However, Lei Zhenxiao did not pursue Guan Yue but instead charged towards Lat's Hand with the increasingly potent Nanshan Flame. He intended to reclaim his Battleship.
At that moment, a wave of flames erupted from within Lei Zhenxiao's body—blue flames with nine heads danced wildly like brothers but were controlled by Lei Zhenxiao and could not stray far.
Lat's Hand showed no fear of Lei Zhenxiao's fiery assault; he remained beside the Battleship, waiting patiently to counter Lei Zhenxiao's attack.
Lei Zhenxiao began his assault; he had cast aside all caution in order to reclaim his Battleship.
With a thunderous roar, a flash of golden light enveloped Lei Zhenxiao’s body as the flames of Unmatched Power surged violently upwards like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden before spreading outwards. Simultaneously, one Flame shot rapidly towards Lat's Hand.
Lat's Hand looked down on the attack and raised his hands to block it. In an instant, one of his palms was charred black as if it were carbonized. Following that, Lat's Hand let out a deafening scream!
At that moment, Feng Zhi Yi's voice echoed: "This is the first layer of Nanshan Flame. There are nine layers in total, each more powerful than the last. We must retreat quickly!"
Guan Yue and Jin Xi clearly heard Feng Zhi Yi's words. Guan Yue was very curious as to why Feng Zhi Yi would tell them these things. Was it because she didn't want them to be harmed?
In fact, Feng Zhi Yi had two considerations at this moment: first, she valued her Battleship very much and did not want Lat's Hand to take it away, knowing that Lat's Hand was already capable of operating her Battleship. Second, the Nanshan Flame could only be used once; after using it nine times, it would be completely rendered useless. At this point, Lei Zhenxiao was already unconscious and could not use the Nanshan Flame without destroying all three of his opponents. Since there was no guarantee of killing them, reclaiming her Battleship was more important. She needed to save the Nanshan Flame for when Lei Zhenxiao was awake to truly eliminate Guan Yue and the others.
However, in his rage, Lei Zhenxiao was unaware of Feng Zhi Yi's calculations. He wanted to eliminate Guan Yue, Lat's Hand, and Jin Xi; he wanted to reclaim his Battleship.
He unleashed the Nanshan Flame again, directing it at Lat's Hand.
Guan Yue and Jin Xi felt the heat of the Nanshan Flame; it not only burned their skin but also struck at their hearts, instilling fear and making them hesitant to approach.
At this moment, Lat's Hand watched as Lei Zhenxiao began to unleash the second layer of Nanshan Flame and realized that this layer was even more powerful. He quickly retreated, but Lei Zhenxiao had anticipated his retreat and closed in on him, determined to burn him alive. The flames danced like falling flowers, becoming denser and more vigorous as they surged toward Lat's Hand.
Guan Yue knew that Lat's Hand would absolutely be unable to withstand this second attack from the Nanshan Flame. If he accepted the attack, his body would be scorched.
Just as time seemed to slow down, Guan Yue teleported in an instant and appeared right in front of Lat's Hand. At this moment, Guan Yue was risking everything. His greatest reliance was on the Primordial Power from Jining Continent; although he had given some to his wife, her body could not handle too much energy, so most of it remained within Guan Yue.
Faced with the Nanshan Flame, Guan Yue could only risk his life and channel his primordial power to counter Lei Zhenxiao's attack. For the sake of his brother, he had no choice but to fight.
Feng Zhi Yi was puzzled; clearly Guan Yue had heard her warning—why did he still dare to charge forward? Did he possess some kind of treasure? An Origin Tool? Could an Origin Tool resist the Nanshan Flame?
However, she did not see Guan Yue using the Artifact Gold Sword; instead, she saw him emanating a Nine-Colored Radiance. Waves of golden light surrounded him as he stood like a deity before Lei Zhenxiao, allowing the Nanshan Flame to pour down upon him without taking a single step back.
After waiting for the second layer of attack to dissipate, Guan Yue still stood there; however, he was now charred black and devoid of flesh. He resembled nothing more than a skeleton—a defiant skeleton that remained standing.
Jin Xi rushed toward Guan Yue with tears in her eyes, while Lat's Hand was filled with rage and charged at Lei Zhenxiao again; he sought revenge for Guan Yue!
Lei Zhenxiao quickly snapped out of his surprise upon seeing Guan Yue reduced to a mere skeleton and laughed heartily: "Guan Yue, look at you now! I'll give you another fire to ensure your complete demise. You will never take my Battleship!"
But then a miracle occurred; this skeleton of Guan Yue actually spoke: "Lat's Hand, Jin Xi, you must take the Battleship away immediately. I won't deal with those two. I will not let them go."
Jin Xi and Lat's Hand were taken aback: What? Does Guan Yue still have combat power? With just this skeleton left, can he still fight?
Feng Zhi Yi was completely stunned; was this Guan Yue even human anymore? Had he suddenly reincarnated or been reborn? Just moments ago he had been torn apart—he hadn't even recovered!
Lei Zhenxiao was also shocked; in his fury, he hadn’t thought deeply about it and directed the Nanshan Flame at Guan Yue once more as Guan Yue charged forward.
Lat's Hand and Jin Xi could not withstand Nanshan Flame, and they retreated. Only Guan Yue remained, his physical body nearly melted away under the Nanshan Flame, leaving only the true essence within him.
At this moment, he spoke, causing Lei Zhenxiao to panic. However, this did not stop him from harboring hatred towards Guan Yue, and he attacked again, filled with humiliation and rage.
But this time, Guan Yue did not back down; instead, he unleashed his Source Energy, overwhelming Lei Zhenxiao with a torrent of power.
Guan Yue's Source Energy was equivalent to that of the entire Yongning Continent. Once activated, it surged continuously, forcefully suppressing Lei Zhenxiao. Terrified by Guan Yue's immense Source Energy, Lei Zhenxiao kept unleashing Nanshan Flame, and their clash illuminated the sky brilliantly.
The explosive flames combined with the Nine-Colored Radiance, awakening memories in Feng Zhi Yi: What was happening? How could Guan Yue activate the Nine-Colored Radiance under such circumstances? Could it be that he had broken through to a new realm recently? Had he reached the Transformation Realm? But looking around, it didn't seem so.
Feng Zhi Yi sensed an enormous, unimaginable energy emanating from Guan Yue, continuously surging towards Lei Zhenxiao, overpowering his relentless Nanshan Flame.
Seeing his strongest attack being suppressed by Guan Yue, Lei Zhenxiao became even more frenzied. He unleashed more Nanshan Flame, lighting up the entire sky and making the ferocity of the flames visible throughout the Waydao Empire. It seemed as if it would burn through the heavens!
However, in response, the opposing Source Energy grew even more arrogant. It resembled a devouring beast, continuously consuming the fiery onslaught from Lei Zhenxiao, transforming it into its own energy. Thus, while Guan Yue's Source Energy strengthened, Lei Zhenxiao weakened.
In his fury, Lei Zhenxiao had already unleashed eight layers of attacks and was left with one final layer, which was his most powerful strike.
Feng Zhi Yi kept trying to awaken Lei Zhenxiao. She understood clearly that his South Mountain flames could not harm the current Guan Yue. Moreover, his fiery energy was only serving to empower Guan Yue, making him stronger while weakening himself. This final attack needed to be saved for a critical moment to maximize its impact.
So at this moment, Feng Zhi Yi used her strongest Origin Energy to call out to Lei Zhenxiao: “Lei Zhenxiao, wake up! You must stop attacking; you have wasted many chances already. Wake up! You are helping Guan Yue!”
