Chapter 544 Fleeing with the Treasure

"Damn it, where's the mystery?" Gu He's soul perception quickly enveloped the island, but he still couldn't detect any trace of the strange fire. At that moment, a hint of anger appeared on his usually calm face.

The man in black robes stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, a violent gust of wind erupted from where he stood. The surrounding blue smoke was swept away, and visibility instantly became clear.

As the bluish smoke dissipated, the barren island was completely exposed to everyone's view. Looking at the several terrifyingly smooth, deep pits on the island, everyone could imagine the kind of destruction that had once taken place there.

"No strange fire!" Yan Shi said in a deep voice as his gaze swept over the empty island.

From between Feng Li's palms, a deluge of tiny threads erupted, blasting away the snake-men rushing towards the island. Turning back, he urged, "Hurry up, or it'll be too late! I sense another powerful snake-man is on their way!"

Upon hearing this, Gu He gritted his teeth, and after a moment, he exhaled deeply, saying with a face full of resentment, "Let's go!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Yan Shi and Feng Li both breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as they were preparing to retreat, a sudden commotion broke out among the snake-men who were surrounding them from afar.

His gaze casually swept across the scene, and Gu He's pupils suddenly contracted. In the distant sky, a figure holding a blue lotus throne was frantically running. And on that blue lotus throne, eerie blue flames continuously surged.

"Strange Fire!"

Staring intently at the ever-shrinking figure, Gu He suddenly let out an angry roar. They had risked their lives to restrain the snake-man expert, only to have it all go to someone else's advantage. Enraged, he growled, "Damn it, how dare they use us as pawns!"

"Chase!" With a fierce wave of his hand, Gu He's fighting spirit surged wildly, and the fighting spirit wings on his back flapped violently. He then frantically chased after the figure, with the black-robed man and Yan Shi following closely behind.

Just as Gu He and his companions flew out of the island's airspace, three figures appeared like lightning in their path, revealing Yue Mei and her two companions with chilling expressions. Behind them was an almost overwhelming army of snake-men.

"Coming and going as you please, what do you think my Snake-People are?" Flame Thorn's body radiated fiery red battle aura, glaring at Gu He and the others. His voice, like thunder, echoed through the city.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing his route blocked, Gu He looked up at the figure that had almost become a small black dot and couldn't help but shout angrily. With a wave of his hand, pale blue flames rapidly condensed into a fireball in front of him, and then, carrying scorching energy, shot fiercely towards Yan Ci and the others.

As soon as the pale blue flame appeared, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly. It seems that the flame Gu He wielded was not an ordinary battle qi flame. However, this blue flame was far inferior to a strange flame; it was probably something similar to Jing Chen's purple flame.

"Hmph, when it comes to alchemy, no one here can match you, Gu He. But when it comes to combat power, you'd better get out of my way!" Although the blue flames were impressive, Yan Ci was not afraid. Instead, his face was filled with a disdainful sneer. He waved his hand, clenched it slightly, and the fiery red battle aura on his body suddenly condensed into a fiery hand that was more than ten feet in size. It shot out and easily enveloped the blue fireball. Then, he squeezed it hard. With a slight thud, the blue fireball turned into countless tiny flames and gradually dissipated.

Upon their first encounter, it was clear that Yan Ci had a slight advantage in strength, suggesting that his star rating was likely higher than Gu He's.

Yue Mei glanced coldly at Gu He and his group before her, then slightly turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on the tiny black dot in the distance, her brows furrowing slightly. For some reason, that figure always gave her a somewhat familiar feeling. She shook her head lightly, pondered for a moment, and abandoned the idea of ​​sending someone to pursue them. Their main enemy now was still Gu He and his group. Moreover, already somewhat at a disadvantage, they couldn't possibly spare a Dou Wang expert to chase after them.

Without the flight speed of a Dou Wang expert, sending only Dou Ling would be impossible for them without Dou Qi Wings. Therefore, with no other choice, Yue Mei had to abandon her plan to pursue them.

"Kill them! A bunch of short-tailed snakes!" Seeing Guhe suffer a setback, Yan Shi, standing to the side, also unleashed a burst of fierce battle aura and shouted coldly.

"I'll hold them off, you go after that guy! If we're too late, the strange fire will really fall into someone else's hands!" The black-robed man moved slightly and appeared directly in front of Gu He and the other two, shouting in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu He hesitated slightly before nodding heavily. He had no doubt about her strength; a mere three-life Dou Wang like her couldn't possibly cause her much harm. So, without further ado, he waved his hand and, along with Yan Shi and the other two, sped off in another direction.

"Get back here!" Seeing Gu He and the others' actions, Yan Ci and the other two roared angrily. Just as they were about to dodge past, the black-robed figure appeared before them like a ghost. With a light wave of his sleeve, a violent gale surged into the sky. Within the gale, countless massive blue wind blades shot out, forcing the three of them to retreat rapidly.

"Your opponent is me," the black-robed figure said casually, standing in mid-air. Without Queen Medusa as a powerful opponent, she had practically become the strongest person here. To fight against ten thousand men was nothing out of the ordinary for someone of her level.

"Kill her!"

Staring coldly at the black-robed man before him, even the hot-tempered Yan Ci knew that his opponent was far superior to Gu He from before. He let out a fierce shout, and three ferocious auras soared into the sky. Immediately, three figures of light intersected, carrying fierce energy, and fiercely attacked the black-robed man.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yanci and his two companions were blocked by the black-robed man, Guhe and his two companions suddenly shot out, charging straight through the defensive line formed by a large number of snake-men, and then instantly flashed out of the city, chasing after the direction in which the black shadow had disappeared with furious faces.

Above the city, the black-robed man calmly watched the three Dou Wang powerhouses attacking him. He effortlessly dodged with slight movements, and the sharp energy he casually unleashed would send one of them staggering backward. Occasionally, countless snake-men below would hurl poisonous spears at him. However, whenever these spears entered a certain range around him, they would be blown haphazardly by a sudden surge of wind, causing only minor trouble for Yue Mei and her companions.

Even though the black-robed man could calmly withstand the attacks of three Dou Wangs, killing them easily was still somewhat difficult, as the three cooperated quite well. Whenever the black-robed man unleashed a powerful attack, the three would work together to block it, although the blocking was still somewhat strained, at least preventing serious injury. Therefore, they managed to maintain a stalemate with a Dou Huang expert in mid-air.
