Chapter 14: Formidable Combat Power
The Flame Unicorn Beast roared angrily, then the scales on its entire body suddenly unfolded and clusters of golden crimson flames emerged from the gaps of its scales.
The temperature within the entire cave suddenly rose, and dancing flames emerged from the crevices in the walls and cracks on the floor, blazing hot, and the lava river that formed from it continued to extend and boiled.
Lou Mu Yan was using her Mental Energy to endure the pressure from the man and the beast in order to watch the show, but the shocking change immediately made it unbearable for her body.
A hot tingling sensation rose from her feet and spread throughout her body. But she couldn't use her Elemental Energy to resist this sort of monstrous heat, so she could only clench her teeth, bear it, and not let out a cry of pain.
The entrance to the cave was already sealed by the rocks that fell from the roar of the Flame Unicorn Beast, so she couldn't leave at all.
But if she continued like this, her body definitely wouldn't be able to withstand this blazing flame that contained Demonic Energy. How could she save herself?
She glanced at the relaxed-looking man, then clenched her teeth again—oh well, she'll have to expose it.
She shut her eyes, then released the Mental Energy from her Sea of Consciousness slowly, forming a barrier.
The demonic flame was isolated outside by the Mental Energy barrier, and even though the tingling sensation still remained, she wouldn't be melted by the demonic flame at least.
But as time went on, her physical strength also reached its limit. Without the support of her physical strength, she felt a little drowsy, and her Mental Energy was slowly unable to flow out.
Just when a crack formed on the Mental Energy barrier, the red-clothed man before her turned his head as if sensing her troubles. A faint admiration flashed in his eyes.
She only had the strength of a Sword Apprentice with a trash-type body and had no Elemental Energy, yet she could hold her own amongst a battle between two Sword Monarchs—it was a miracle.
What surprised him the most was that this little woman could actually condense her Mental Energy into a substance that could withstand the demonic flames, not to mention endure blazes that would even destroy a Sword King. It truly was admirable.
With a wave of his hand, a blue beam of light instantly covered Lou Mu Yan and she a fluorescent, crystal clear ice blue bangle appeared on her wrist.
A chill swept from head to toe and that hot, tingling sensation also disappeared. She removed her condensed Mental Energy barrier and looked quizzically at the man who had returned to fight with the Flame Unicorn Beast.
Why did he help her? Including this time, she owed him two favours.
“Go die!” The Flame Unicorn Beast let out a huge roar and a golden-red fire arc exploded within the cave. All the energy gathered towards and enveloped the man.
[BOOM BOOM BOOM!!] The energy of the explosion was simply too strong. The cave couldn't support such destructive energy and instantly crumbled as countless rocks fell amongst the dust and firelight.
Suddenly, Lou Mu Yan, who was engulfed by a violent energy, fell into a warm embrace.
The deity-like man, with the Elemental Energy within him surging, narrowed his eyes. The scarlet long-sword in his hands instantly vanished and he drew the golden soft-sword around his waist.
He channelled his Elemental Energy into it, then exerted his entire strength and slashed down.
A beam of golden light cut towards the fiery flame that consisted of Demonic Energy. As they clashed, a blinding light beamed from within the cave, and the ceiling was directly penetrated.
The excess pressure from the collision between the two types of energy blasted a hole on the top of the cave and shot directly into the sky. The flames immediately filled the entire sky above the outer ring and numerous Demonic Beasts scattered in panic.
That earth-shattering energy exploded in the sky, causing numerous Mercenaries and Sword Masters within the periphery of the Blazing Mountain Ranges to stop in their steps. They felt a lingering fear, looking up at the flame pillar, glowing with a golden light, that shot up into the heavens. They could still feel its terrifying energy fluctuations even from so far away.
Not daring to continue in the direction of the source of energy, many people in the Blazing Mountain Range turned back around and fled to the exit, fearing that they would be accidentally affected by the battle of experts if they weren't careful.
However, the battle didn't end there. A cluster of golden runes appeared on the man's forehead. With a thought, the soft-sword in his hand instantly divided into numerous small swords that encircled the Flame Unicorn Beast.

“Kill!!” The man opened his thin lips and said coldly.
[SHIU SHIU!!] The small golden swords madly pierced the Flame Unicorn Beast's entire body as if alive.
[ROAR ROAR!!]
The explosion of the Flame Unicorn Beast's strongest innate talent was countered by the man and guided out of the cave, while its scales were enveloped in numerous streams of golden light. They slowly cracked and blood dyed its entire body.
It collapsed to the ground, roaring in agony as its eyes revealed a hint of madness. Even if it died, it'll take the terrifying man with him.
Waves upon waves of Demonic Energy poured into its Crystal Core—it wanted to fight till its death.
The man placed Lou Mu Yan onto the ground, then said coldly: “Humph, you want to self-destruct? In your dreams.”
Following, he drew a Void Talisman in the air with his Elemental Energy. He mumbled something, then the talisman automatically flew towards the Flame Unicorn Beast and landed on its head, slowly growing larger.
Then, with the disbelief of the Flame Unicorn Beast, it transformed into a stream of golden light and entered its forehead.
[ROAR ROAR!!] The Flame Unicorn Beast roared, unreconciled. He was about to explode its Crystal Core, but the man's talisman actually sealed the Demonic Energy within it.
Impossible, impossible! This man only had the strength of a human Middle-Phase Sword Monarch, so how could he be this powerful?
“Die.” The man stretched out two fingers, tapped lightly, and the countless small golden swords that destroyed the Flame Unicorn Beast's defence combined into a golden short-sword. On its surface, there was even a mysterious rune circulating it.
[SHIU!] The golden short-sword hovered, flashed a few times, then penetrated the Flame Unicorn Beast's head.
The earth-shattering roar of the Demonic Beast stopped abruptly. The Flame Unicorn Beast's bloodshot eyes stared wide, carrying a sense of disbelief and horror, before it collapsed and took its last breath.
Lou Mu Yan was also shocked upon witnessing this scene. She didn't think that the red-clothed devilish man's combat power was this strong—he killed a superior Demonic Beast that was close to Peak-Phase Tier 6 without even using his trump cards.
His talent was even more abnormal. Since the beginning of the battle, he actually used skills of three types of attributes—fire, ice, and metal—and he already reached an extraordinary level in his ease of switching between the fire and ice attributes.
Not only did he completely comprehend the two contradictory attributes, but he could also interchange between the elements when battling. This simply wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
Lou Mu Yan had to admit that a man who could utilise those elements so skilfully must be a peerless genius only seen once in ten thousand years. He could even compare to herself.
Who was this man? He definitely didn't belong to Yan'zhou Country.
Even after killing the Demonic Beast with Peak-Phase Tier 6 strength, he was still calm and composed, without any signs of exhaustion, as if this was only a trivial matter.
With a wave of his hand, the golden short-sword returned to his hand, then transformed into a golden soft-sword and obediently returned to the sash around his waist.
There was indifference in his beautiful phoenix-type eyes as he walked beside the corpse of the Flame Unicorn Beast. With a casual grab, a small, crimson Crystal Core the size of a fist, exuding a faint golden light landed in his hands.
Then he lifted his eyes slightly and looked at Lou Mu Yan, hesitated, then said: “This Highness is going to refine this Crystal Core. Do as you wish.”
He ignored Lou Mu Yan after that, then crossed his legs, closed his eyes and began to refine the crimson Crystal Core of the Flame Unicorn Beast.
Lou Mu Yan opened her mouth slightly, wanting to remind the man that directly refining a Crystal Core was not only dangerous, but it could even cause his body to accumulate fire poison. However, seeing that the man already began to refine it without any hesitation, and assuming that he probably had his own solution to it, she swallowed what she wanted to say.
She was also extremely exhausted, so she sat on a rock nearby the man, closed her eyes and rested.
