Before he finished speaking, Qin Tian's figure flashed, turning into a blur as he pounced on Ning Yu. His speed and ruthlessness completely exceeded his previous gentle and harmless facade.

"Protect the leader!" the guards cried out, drawing their weapons and rushing forward.

However, Qin Tian's strength far exceeded their expectations. He moved like a ghost, his palm strikes fierce, like a tiger among sheep. In just a few breaths, he knocked all the guards who rushed forward to the ground, their cries of agony filling the air.

Ning Yu was startled. Qin Tian had been hiding his true intentions so well that it seemed his motives were impure from the very beginning!

"Do you think you can stand against us all by yourself?" Ning Yu said, while secretly activating his supernatural power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Tian.

"With you?" Qin Tian sneered, a ball of dark blue flame suddenly rising in his palm. "Do you think that a rabble like you can withstand the wrath of 'Heavenly Fire'?"

The eerie blue flames, carrying a destructive aura, instantly distorted the surrounding air. Ning Yu was horrified; this power far surpassed any other supernatural ability he knew!

"boom!"

The flames, like a roaring beast, instantly engulfed the entire room. Ning Yu was thrown back by the massive shockwave, crashing heavily against the wall. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

"leader!"

Mu Xue's anxious shouts came from afar, but they were quickly drowned out by the chaotic shouts of battle.

Qin Tian ignored everyone else; he had only one target: Ning Yu! He approached step by step, his eyes flashing with bloodlust. "Ning Yu, your end has come!"

Ning Yu struggled to stand up, but found his body felt like it was falling apart, completely unresponsive. He looked up at Qin Tian, ​​who was approaching step by step, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

Is it all over?

"No, I can't give up!" Ning Yu roared inwardly, his intense will to survive unleashing astonishing power. He suddenly flipped over, dodging Qin Tian's fatal blow, and at the same time grabbed the metal ashtray on the table, smashing it hard against Qin Tian's head.

"clang!"

The metal ashtray shattered above Qin Tian's head, scattering fragments everywhere. However, the expected serious injury did not occur; Qin Tian merely tilted his head slightly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Qin Tian formed a claw with his five fingers and aimed straight for Ning Yu's throat.

In that critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Ning Yu. He suddenly remembered that the terrain here was intricate and difficult to attack, a design he had meticulously crafted…

"Follow me!" Ning Yu seized the last opportunity and ran deeper into the base.

Qin Tian sneered and chased after him without hesitation. He wanted to see what other tricks Ning Yu could pull. Deep inside the base, the lights were dim, and the intricate network of passageways resembled a maze.

Ning Yu knew this place like the back of his hand; every corner and every fork in the road was etched into his mind. He deliberately slowed his pace, using the terrain to his advantage to maneuver around Qin Tian, ​​avoiding a direct confrontation.

"Is all you can do is hide like a rat?" Qin Tian's angry voice echoed in the passage, and eerie blue flames occasionally shot out from his fingertips, illuminating the walls with flickering light.

Ning Yu ignored his provocation, his mind racing. Qin Tian's strength far exceeded his expectations; a direct confrontation would be unwise. He needed to find his opponent's weakness to have any chance of turning the tide.

Another ball of eerie blue flame came hurtling towards him. Ning Yu narrowly dodged it, but the flame grazed his arm, and the scorching heat made him gasp.

"Your flames are powerful, but they must consume a lot of energy, right?" Ning Yu dodged the attacks while observing Qin Tian, ​​trying to figure out the pattern of his attacks.

Qin Tian sneered and remained silent, but the frequency of his attacks noticeably slowed down, seemingly confirming Ning Yu's guess.

"It seems your ability isn't without limitations after all." Ning Yu was secretly pleased; he had figured out his opponent's strengths. "As long as I can buy you time and find your weakness..."

"Do you think I'd give you that chance?" Qin Tian seemed to see through Ning Yu's thoughts, and his attack became fierce again. The dark blue flames were like a persistent leech, relentlessly pursuing him.

Ning Yu was forced to retreat repeatedly, but he did not give up. He kept replaying the battle scene in his mind, searching for the pattern and weakness of Qin Tian's attack.

Finally, he noticed a detail: before Qin Tian launched an attack, his eyes would pause for a moment, as if he were gathering strength.

"Now!"

Ning Yu seized the opportunity, dodging Qin Tian's attack with a flash, and at the same time mobilized all his supernatural abilities to launch a counterattack at the moment Qin Tian stopped...

"You've been tricked!" Ning Yu roared, the sharp blade in his hand carrying a fierce killing intent, aimed straight for Qin Tian's chest.
