The current situation is indeed dire. If this continues, they will eventually be exhausted and perish in the flames.
At this critical moment, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I have an idea, but I need your cooperation..."
Xiao Feng calmly analyzed, "These fire serpents can absorb attacks to strengthen themselves, so we can't blindly fight them head-on anymore. I've observed that although these fire serpents are ferocious, their demonic flames briefly condense and fluctuate before each attack. If we concentrate our strength and unleash our strongest attack together the moment they condense their demonic flames, catching them off guard, we might be able to break this stalemate."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Despite being exhausted, hope ignited in their eyes.
The Hua Yun Sect disciples were covered in sweat, their clothes were tattered from the fire, and some even had burn marks on their bodies.
Panting heavily, they managed to stand firm and quickly adjusted their positions, shielding their injured comrade in the middle.
Several seriously injured disciples lay on the ground, covered in blood, some even missing an arm, groaning in pain.
The other disciples' eyes flashed with concern, but they could only grit their teeth and focus their attention on the upcoming battle.
They gripped their immortal swords tightly, ready to follow Xiao Feng's command.
The swarm of fire serpents surged forward again, hundreds of their enormous bodies tumbling above the lava.
The black demonic flames, like billowing smoke, enveloped everyone.
The magma was churning and boiling, emitting suffocatingly high temperatures, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.
Xiao Feng stared intently at the leading fire serpent. As its demonic flames began to gather and it emitted a deafening roar, Xiao Feng shouted, "Attack!"
He was the first to unleash his immortal power, and a golden dragon roared out, charging towards the fire serpent with overwhelming force.
The golden dragon was surrounded by dazzling light, its scales shimmering, its claws sharp, and it opened its blood-red maw to bite the fire serpent.
Gan Feng also poured all his spiritual power into the immortal sword, his face turned pale, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
A dazzling blue light emanated from the sword, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, piercing straight for the fire serpent's vitals.
The sword light slashed through the darkness, moving so fast that its trajectory was almost invisible.
The disciples of Huayun Sect coordinated their sword formations, weaving sword energies into a net that swept towards the swarm of fire snakes.
The sword energy crisscrossed, like an inverted Milky Way, with a magnificent momentum.
This attack was exceptionally fierce, and the lead fire serpent roared in pain after being hit.
Its massive body trembled violently, its scales cracked, and black blood gushed out.
The fire serpent swayed a few times, but it was not completely destroyed; instead, it aroused even greater ferocity.
It swung its tail violently, unleashing a storm of demonic flames that affected the surrounding fire snakes, making their attacks even more frenzied.
The demonic flame storm, like a giant black vortex, swallowed up all of Xiao Feng and the others' attacks and then retaliated against them.
Everyone quickly erected spiritual energy shields to defend themselves, and a multicolored light barrier enveloped them.
However, under the impact of the demonic flames, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the shield, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
Gan Feng's spiritual energy was greatly depleted, his face grew increasingly pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.
He had a bad feeling. If this continues, we won't be able to hold out much longer!
Just when everyone was about to give up, Gan Feng reached into his pocket and took out a crystal-clear bead.
The bead emitted a soft light; it was a treasure he had kept for a long time.
Without hesitation, he poured his immortal power into it, and the bead instantly shone brightly, dazzling the eye.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately understood.
He grabbed the bead and hurled it forcefully at the swarm of fire snakes.
The bead sliced through the air, flying towards the enemy ranks like a shooting star.
Gan Feng watched his precious toy fly away, a look of heartache on his face. He couldn't help but mutter, "I really thank you!"
The bead exploded amidst the swarm of fire snakes, releasing a powerful purifying force.
In an instant, a dazzling white light spread outwards like ripples.
The light was pure and flawless, as if it could cleanse all evil.
Wherever it went, the black demonic flames vanished as if they had met their nemesis.
The purifying power formed a huge sphere of light, which continued to expand.
Inside the sphere of light, countless tiny points of light danced like fireflies, each one dispelling the surrounding demonic flames.
Black and white intertwine in the air, creating a spectacular scene.
The fire serpents became sluggish under the impact of this force.
The demonic flames on their bodies had dimmed considerably, and some had even begun to peel off, revealing grayish-white scales underneath.
A glint flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes; he knew his opportunity had arrived.
He took a deep breath and raised the immortal power within his body to its limit.
With a loud shout, Xiao Feng unleashed both palms simultaneously.
This time, the golden dragon's form was even more solid.
The dragon scales shimmered with dazzling light, each one resembling a finely crafted suit of golden armor.
The dragon's claws were as sharp as knives, its whiskers fluttered, and its eyes were like lightning.
The dragon opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar.
The golden dragon, carrying a world-destroying aura, pierced directly through the body of the leading fire serpent.
The fire serpent let out a shrill scream, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Black blood gushed out like a spring, turning into wisps of black mist in the air.
The fall of the lead fire serpent triggered a chain reaction.
The other fire serpents seemed to have lost their leader and scattered one after another.
Some turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared, while others fell directly into the churning lava below.
In the blink of an eye, the once menacing swarm of fire snakes had vanished without a trace.
The crowd looked at each other in disbelief at this hard-won victory.
Xiao Feng let out a long sigh, a tired but gratified smile appearing on his face.
He looked around and saw his companions sitting or leaning, some even collapsing to the ground.
Although they were in a sorry state, their eyes shone with the joy of surviving a disaster.
The group was finally free from the threat of the fire serpent, but no one dared to let their guard down.
After defeating the fire serpent, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to find a strange phantom suddenly appearing in front of them.
It was a distorted scene, as if shrouded in a thin veil, with some blurry outlines vaguely visible in the haze.
In the illusion, the remnants of ancient divine beasts appear and disappear, emitting painful roars that pierce the soul and send chills down one's spine.
These remnant souls came in various shapes and sizes; some resembled enormous birds of prey with wings that blotted out the sky.
Some of them seemed to be some kind of ancient behemoth, their enormous bodies appearing and disappearing in the phantoms.
Whenever someone tries to take a step forward, these remnant souls let out even more mournful howls, as if trying their best to stop everyone from moving forward.
Gan Feng frowned as he carefully observed the illusion.
A knowing glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "This is the manifestation of ancient resentment; we must find a way to dispel it."
As he spoke, Gan Feng took out a jade pendant from his pocket.
