The Blazing Flame Serpent seemed to sense the toughness of Ding Fan and the others. Its shadowy eyes coldly turned in the direction where Ding Fan was, and its long tongue now flicked out from the serpent’s mouth.

As the serpent’s tongue flicked out of its mouth, a terrifying heat began to surge throughout the secret passage.

A look of solemnity emerged in Ding Fan’s eyes, and his body involuntarily tensed.

Beside him, Zhuge Qing watched the terrifying heat emanating from the serpent’s body, his eyes flickering slightly and the corners of his mouth quivering. He then said to Ding Fan in a deep voice:

"Brother Ding, the strength of this Blazing Flame Serpent might be beyond our imagination..."

A sharp light flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes as he said to Zhuge Qing:

"Regardless of the serpent’s power, since I’ve discovered this place today, I must see for myself what treasures it hides!"

As soon as Ding Fan finished speaking, a strange light appeared in the eyes of the two divine warriors beside him. They exchanged glances and then both lowered their heads.

Ding Fan focused all his attention on the serpent, his eyes filled with coldness. A fierce wave of energy erupted from his body.

When this terrifying energy surged from Ding Fan’s body, ripples spread across the entire sky.

As these ripples spread out, a vicious look flashed in the serpent’s eyes. It flicked its tongue, opened its gaping maw, and terrifying waves of heat gathered inside. As this immense wave consolidated, the temperature in the entire passage rose once more.

In just a few breaths, the serpent spewed an overwhelming heatwave from its mouth, rushing towards Ding Fan like magma.

Ding Fan’s eyes filled with astonishment, and his body tensed involuntarily as soft streams of heat gathered within him.

Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers all showed a look of horror in their eyes, shouting to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, be extremely careful! The power of this serpent is terrifying to the extreme!"

Upon hearing Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers’ words, Ding Fan’s eyes also filled with gravity, violent waves of energy bursting from within him, causing his body to flicker slightly.

After the brief encounter, Ding Fan realized the terrifying heat within the serpent’s magma, a power his current body couldn’t withstand. With this in mind, he darted away.

As Ding Fan dashed out, the wild magma shot out in his direction, burning a massive pit on the ground.

A terrible heat erupted from the pit, with waves of searing heat gushing forth.

Ding Fan squinted his eyes, his face now marked with a serious expression.

Zhuge Qing, upon witnessing the terrifying magma spewed from the serpent’s mouth, also squinted his eyes, his cold gaze piercing through. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Brother Ding, the serpent before us might have already reached King-level strength..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan asked him, "A King-level serpent? What kind of power is that?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s question, Zhuge Qing replied:

"King-level serpents can utilize not just their own power, but also harness the surrounding forces of nature. This means the entire Magma Power here can be used by the serpent in front of us!"

A look of concern flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes as he said to Zhuge Qing in shock:

"So, as long as the serpent remains in the magma, it’s practically invincible?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing frowned deeply and said:

"Yes, but..."

Ding Fan’s eyes lit up, and he asked Zhuge Qing, "But what?!"

A gleam flashed in Zhuge Qing’s eyes, and his lips quivered slightly as he said to Ding Fan:

"But you must find the serpent’s weak spot to truly defeat this King-level serpent before us!"

A spark lit in Ding Fan’s eyes as he said to Zhuge Qing:

"A serpent’s weakness is its heart! If I strike it there, couldn’t I utterly defeat it?!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing gently shook his head and replied: "No, the Blazing Flame Serpent’s weak spot isn’t there. In fact, every serpent has a different weak point. We must find the truly vulnerable spot!"

Ding Fan’s pupils contracted sharply, a sharp light erupting from his eyes. He spoke in a calm voice:

"No matter how strong this serpent is, since I discovered it here, I will not give up!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes gleamed as he said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, since you’ve decided, I’ll lend you a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan’s eyes brimmed with gratitude, and he nodded slightly at Zhuge Qing with a trembling smile.

As Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing conversed, a look of anger flashed in the serpent’s eyes, its massive form swelling with terrifying force as its shadowy eyes glared coldly in Ding Fan’s direction.

Feeling the serpent’s icy gaze, Ding Fan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and he calmly said, "You beast, let me truly witness your might today!"

The Blazing Flame Serpent seemed to understand Ding Fan’s words, and a terrifying aura erupted from it, its massive body coiling towards Ding Fan.

As the serpent coiled around Ding Fan, its body turned crimson, a searing heat erupting from its flesh.

A gleam of determination flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes as he sprang forward. As his body moved, a pitch-black Iron Sword appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming fiercely.

A wild Sword Qi erupted from Ding Fan’s Iron Sword. With a swift motion, the Sword Qi swept across the serpent’s body.

The sound of fierce metal collision resonated from the serpent’s body, and Ding Fan saw that it only left a slight scar on the serpent’s flesh.

"What terrifying skin..." A soft voice murmured from Ding Fan’s mouth.

A fierce light shone in Ding Fan’s eyes as he released a wild burst of power from within him.

Upon feeling Ding Fan’s attack, a look of disdain appeared in the serpent’s shadowy eyes. Its massive body coiled slightly, attempting once again to ensnare Ding Fan.

Ding Fan’s eyes turned cold, and his body vanished from where he stood.

Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers all showed a look of concern in their eyes, anxiously warning:

"Brother Ding, be extremely careful; the serpent’s strength is beyond our imagination!"
