Chapter 546 The Mysterious Battle Emperor?

After pale golden cloud patterns appeared on the angel wings, Jing Chen's flying speed nearly doubled almost instantly. His frantically flying figure even caused the air to explode slightly as he passed through it. The presentation showed just how terrifying Jing Chen's speed was at that moment.

As Jing Chen's speed increased dramatically, the distance between Gu He and the others, who were already gradually approaching him, was widened again.

Far behind, Gu and the other two stared in disbelief at the almost instantaneous movement ahead, a sense of powerlessness washing over them. This speed was simply too fast! It was comparable to the speed of a wind-attribute Dou Huang!

"Could that guy also be a Dou Huang?"

A thought flashed through Gu He's mind, his expression slightly changing before he clenched his fist tightly. Even if the other party was a Dou Huang, Gu He would never let him take the Strange Fire away so easily. He had paid an extremely high price to obtain this Strange Fire, having just enlisted Yan Shi and Feng Li, two of the top ten powerhouses, to risk venturing deep into the desert to accompany him in his attempt to seize it. Therefore, no matter what, he would not give up this Strange Fire, even if the other party was a Dou Huang!

As Jing Chen's speed increased dramatically, Yan Shi and Feng Li, standing to the side, suddenly turned extremely grim. Clearly, they had the same thought as Gu He.

The two exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads with wry smiles. Obtaining the generous reward Gu He had promised was indeed proving difficult. They had been relieved by the disappearance of Queen Medusa, but now another mysterious and powerful figure of unknown origin had appeared before them. This series of twists and turns left these two powerful figures from the Mingzhen Jiama Empire feeling helpless and bitter.

"Strange fire, indeed something that can drive many powerful people crazy." Feng Li murmured with a wry smile, turning his head to look at Gu He, whose face was full of gloom and anger. He did not expect that this usually calm and unrestrained alchemy master would also find it difficult to maintain his usual demeanor in the face of strange fire. This really made him personally experience the allure of strange fire once again.

"Chase him! I want to see where he's from. Once I know his identity, humph, I don't believe there's anyone I, Guhe, can't afford to offend!" Guhe suppressed his anger and snorted. His battle aura wings flapped slightly, and his speed increased dramatically as he quickly chased after the small black dot in the distance.

"Hehe, it seems that Old He is really angry. I wonder where that guy is from? If it's the Jia Ma Empire, he's probably in big trouble for offending a sixth-grade alchemist. That's not something to be happy about." Yan Shi grinned as he saw Gu He's anger rising.

Feng Li nodded slightly. Indeed, even a Dou Huang expert wouldn't easily offend a sixth-grade alchemist. After all, the nepotism among alchemists is terrifying. Once they know your identity, they can invite a large number of friends every day and have them take turns attacking you. Even if they don't kill you, they'll probably exhaust you to death.

However, although Gu He and his companions increased their speed again, they were already far behind Jing Chen. Moreover, the distance was gradually widening. This situation made Gu He's face turn slightly ashen with anger, but he was somewhat helpless. After all, they had already pushed their speed to its maximum; going any faster was practically impossible.

Just as Guhe was getting increasingly angry at the ever-growing distance, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them from afar.

Upon seeing the black-robed figure appear not far ahead, Gu He's face lit up with joy. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted, "Stop that guy!"

"Hmm." A cool, faint voice came from beneath the black robe. However, the person in black did not immediately accelerate; instead, they slowed down slightly, turned around, and raised their head slightly, revealing a pair of elegant, snow-white chins under the blazing sun. They said softly, "I'll go after them. You all separate now, fly out of the Tagor Desert, and then meet up in the rock city outside the desert. If I catch up with that person, I will bring the strange fire back!"

"Why do we have to go our separate ways?" Gu He asked in surprise, taken aback.

"The snake-men experts are catching up. They are extremely fast in the desert, and they have already gathered five Dou Wang experts. If I continue to protect you, I can safely send you out of the desert. However, the matter of chasing the person ahead will probably have to..." the black-robed man said calmly.

"So fast?" Slightly startled, Gu He hesitated for a moment before decisively saying in a low voice, "Alright, let's split up. You're in charge of the people ahead. As for us, don't worry about us. Although we can't fight the strong ones behind us head-on, getting out of the desert shouldn't be difficult."

"Hmm." The man in black robes nodded slightly, gave a word of advice, and then flapped his azure battle aura wings, chasing after the place where Jing Chen had disappeared with lightning speed.

"Please, we must retrieve the Strange Fire!" Gu He shouted, watching the figure in black robes disappear from sight. Then, frowning, he looked back at the horizon and said in a deep voice, "Old Lion, Feng Li, let's split up. Remember, be careful when we meet in Yan City!"

"Hehe, well, too bad. I was hoping to fight the snake people, but it seems I won't have that chance now." Yan Shi nodded and laughed.

"There will be plenty of opportunities later. Right now, they outnumber us, so let's retreat first," Gu He said with a somewhat forced smile.

"Hehe, don't worry too much. Don't you know how strong Sect Master Yun is? She will definitely be able to catch up with that guy ahead." Seeing Gu He's face, Feng Li smiled and comforted him.

"Sigh, I hope so. If it really doesn't work out, then it's probably just that I'm not destined for the different flames." With a soft sigh, Gu He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, please be careful. Farewell!"

With that, it flapped its wings slightly and then turned and shot off into the distance beyond the desert.

"Hehe, let's go too." Watching Gu He's disappearing figure, Yan Shi and Feng Li smiled, flapped their wings, turned around and sped off in another direction.

Shortly after the three disappeared, five streaks of light flashed by like shooting stars. A moment later, they stopped where Gu He and the other two had stood.

"They've separated!" Sensing the situation slightly, Yue Mei frowned and looked at the other four: "What do we do?"

"Split up and pursue them. Yue Mei, you two go after Gu He and the other two, Yan Ci and I will go after that Dou Huang." A snake-man dressed in a gray robe said softly. This snake-man was quite old, with a face full of wrinkles. He was obviously highly respected among the group, so even the hot-tempered Yan Ci did not object when he heard his arrangement.
