Transmigrated Villain: Starting by Removing the Female Lead's Supreme Bone

However, at that moment, the giant beast suddenly swung its tail, actually managing to block Su He's attack.

"What?"

I never expected this giant beast to be so agile.

In the instant he was stunned, the giant beast seized the opportunity, and a burst of flame erupted once again, heading straight for Suhe.

Su He instantly conjured a huge light shield in front of him.

However, this time, the light shield shattered instantly, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

Su He felt a scorching heat rush towards him, and was almost engulfed by the flames.

His expression changed drastically, and he quickly circulated his Martial Emperor True Qi, condensing another light shield in front of him.

However, the power of the flames was too great, and the light shield shattered again as soon as it took shape.

Suhe conjured several light shields in succession, but none of them could withstand the attack of the flames.

As he was about to be engulfed by flames, his heart sank.

"Senior, let me lend you a hand!"

As soon as Qingxin finished speaking, the water dragon that appeared in her hand roared and rushed straight at the giant beast, tightly binding it.

Upon seeing this, Su He shouted and moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing in front of the giant beast, his Tai Xuan Sword pointing directly at the beast's brow.

"Go to hell!"

This time, the giant beast could no longer dodge and was struck squarely by the Tai Xuan Sword.

With a piercing scream, the giant beast's head was severed, turning into sparks that dissipated into the air.

The giant beast's body was also shattered into countless fragments by this attack, scattering in all directions.

Su He let out a long sigh and sheathed his sword.

"Let's hurry up and keep moving forward."

Su He nodded and was about to lead Qingxin forward when he saw Qingxin looking at him with a worried expression.

"Senior, if we encounter even more powerful monsters, it will be very dangerous."

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"How about we leave the Purgatory Volcano first?"

Treasures are important, but compared to life, they are insignificant.

Upon hearing this, Su He couldn't help but laugh.

"Qingxin, don't worry. With me here, even if we encounter a powerful monster, I can handle it."

He patted Qingxin on the shoulder, comforting her.

"Besides, we've already come this far; wouldn't it be a shame to leave empty-handed?"

"But……"

Qingxin wanted to say something more, but Suhe interrupted her.

"Alright, stop being so fussy."

With me protecting you, even if the sky falls, I can hold it up for you.

"Let's go."

Seeing Su He's determination, Qingxin could only follow behind him and continue walking forward.

"Senior, you are so brave. I was a little scared, but you remained so calm and composed."

As Qingxin walked, she sincerely exclaimed in admiration.

"You are my role model, an example I will follow throughout my life!"

Upon hearing this, Su He couldn't help but smile.

"Come on, stop flattering me."

He turned to look at Qingxin and said with a smile.

"I think you want me to protect you, right?"

Just say what you're thinking; there's no need to beat around the bush.

"No way! I'm telling the truth!"

"Senior, look, there seems to be a passage ahead!"

Qingxin pointed ahead and said excitedly.

Su He looked in the direction Qingxin was pointing and saw a narrow passage ahead. On the rock walls on both sides of the passage were countless fire crystals that shimmered with an eerie light.

"Let's go take a look."

Su He said in a deep voice, leading Qingxin into the passage.

The passage wasn't long, and soon we reached its end.

Suddenly, a peculiar lake of flames appeared before them.

The Flaming Lake is circular, with a diameter of several hundred feet. A raging fire burns on the surface of the lake, with flames reaching several feet high. The rolling heat waves make people feel suffocated.

Even more bizarrely, countless crystal-clear fire crystals floated above the lake of fire, each radiating a dazzling light that made the entire lake of fire as bright as day.

"What beautiful fire crystals!"

Upon seeing the scene before her, Qingxin couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

She was about to go forward for a closer look when Su He grabbed her arm.

"Don't go over there!"

"Although the Lake of Flames is beautiful, it is fraught with danger. A slight mistake could cost you your life."

Why?

Qingxin asked with a puzzled look.

"Haven't you heard the legend of the Lake of Fire?"

Su He countered with a question.

"Legend has it that the Flame Lake was created by Emperor Yan in ancient times. Emperor Yan threw countless Flame Spirit Stones into the lake, which is how it became what it is today."

The Flame Spirit Stone contains powerful fire-attribute energy; if you get too close, you can easily get burned.

Even more terrifying is the presence of a peculiar creature in the Lake of Flames, known as the 'Flame Serpent,' which lives amidst the flames and enjoys devouring any living beings that come near the lake.

Once targeted by the Flame Python, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would find it difficult to escape death.

As Su He spoke, he cautiously looked around, fearing that some danger might arise.

"I see. Then we'd better not go near the Lake of Fire."

Upon hearing this, Qingxin nodded repeatedly.

"However, senior, do you think the lake of fire in this Purgatory Volcano might be different from the legendary lake of fire?"

She hesitated for a moment, then asked anyway.

"After all, this is a secret realm; who knows, maybe some strange treasures will appear here?"

Su He pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"You're right. This Purgatory Volcano is different from the outside world. There might really be some treasures in the Flame Lake."

His gaze shifted and landed on the fire crystal floating above the lake of flames.

"Look at those fire crystals, radiating such dazzling light. They might contain powerful energy. If we could obtain them, they would surely be of great benefit to our cultivation."

"But how are we going to get them? We can't just fly over there, can we?"

"That's too dangerous. If a Flame Serpent appears, we won't be able to defend ourselves at all."

Su He nodded, his gaze sweeping across the Flame Lake as if searching for something.

"Look over there, at the edge of the Lake of Fire, there seems to be a path."

He pointed to one side of the Lake of Fire and said.

"We can follow that path and slowly approach the fire crystals; maybe we can get them."

"But that path is too close to the Lake of Flames. If a Flame Serpent suddenly appears, we won't have time to escape."

Qingxin was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, with me here, even if a Flame Serpent appears, I can protect you."

Su He patted Qingxin on the shoulder, comforting her.

"Alright, let's be careful and approach the fire crystal slowly."

Seeing Su He's resolute attitude, Qingxin could not say anything more and could only nod.

After discussing their plan, the two slowly approached the Fire Crystal along the path along the edge of the Flame Lake.
