"Pfft..." A bolt of blood shot straight from Huangfu Buyue's mouth, and a massive surge of flame power rushed into his body. The ferocious energy even sent him hurtling backward.

The scorching flames began to rapidly consume his body, eliciting terrible screams from Huangfu Buyue. The Profound Energy within him surged continuously, desperately trying to extinguish the fire, but the flame's power was too immense for it to be quelled so easily.

"Mountains and Rivers Shatter..." At this moment, Bai Jingfei also roared aloud, unleashing a punch. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Scarlet Flame Dragon. Facing Bai Jingfei's full-force strike, the Scarlet Flame Dragon merely grinned sinisterly.

"Annihilation Flame Dragon Burst!" The Scarlet Flame Dragon reeled one hand back, then violently slapped one palm forward. That seemingly simple strike connected ruthlessly with Bai Jingfei's chest...

With a "Pop...", Bai Jingfei's chest violently exploded, spraying forth a mist of blood. His body, too, was violently thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

One sent flying after the other, to the Scarlet Flame Dragon, this was merely the work of a moment. There was nothing else to be done; the gap between them was simply too vast, so large that mere small openings could no longer bridge it.

Seeing both Bai Jingfei and Huangfu Buyue knocked away, despair flashed in Yao Rao's eyes. Both were experts of the Third Heaven; she was merely at the First Heaven. How could she possibly contend with this fellow?

At this point, Huangfu Buyue and Bai Jingfei simultaneously struggled back to their feet. Ignoring their injuries and the still-burning flames, they gazed at the aggressive Scarlet Flame Dragon, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Starfall..." Bai Jingfei struck first, pointing a finger from his right hand. A meteor, easily thousands of meters across, materialized in the sky and plummeted towards the Scarlet Flame Dragon.

Compared to Bai Xiaodi's ability to summon a two-hundred-kilometer meteor, this one was far smaller. Yet, as this meteor descended, it still exerted immense pressure on the Scarlet Flame Dragon. All the flames on him ignited fully, and his body began to swell continuously. In almost a single breath, he grew to the height of three zhang, covered entirely in raging blazes, resembling a stony giant.

"Flame Destruction Break!" the Scarlet Flame Dragon roared, his towering body leaping up. He brought his fist down directly onto the colossal meteor.

"Rumble..." A tremendous noise echoed as the massive meteor was smashed to pieces by the Scarlet Flame Dragon's punch. Debris flew everywhere, but the Dragon's body was thrown completely off balance, crashing down.

Just then, Huangfu Buyue had already darted forward. The Profound Energy within him circulated wildly, and faint dragon roars emanated from inside him. Vaguely, a golden Divine Dragon seemed to be forming behind his back.

"Dragon Roar Fist!" Huangfu Buyue hummed softly, his right fist slamming directly into the Scarlet Flame Dragon's chest...

Streams of golden light erupted from his body, and the dragon shadow grew increasingly powerful. The ferocious force blasted a gaping hole right through the Scarlet Flame Dragon's chest. His already unbalanced body slammed heavily onto the ground, carving out a massive pit over ten zhang in diameter...

This single move had nearly exhausted all the strength of both men. They could barely remain standing, panting heavily.

Seeing the Scarlet Flame Dragon repelled by their combined effort, a flicker of joy crossed Yao Rao's eyes. But before she could rush to them to celebrate, an enraged roar erupted from the massive pit.

It was the roar of a Flame Demon. A savage wave of heat washed over them, forcing Huangfu Buyue and Bai Jingfei to retreat repeatedly. Their complexions turned ugly. Had their most powerful joint strike failed to eliminate this creature? Were they truly destined to die here?

"Yao Rao, you must leave quickly. Go find Xuanyuan Jing; only he has the strength to avenge us!" Seemingly aware that escape was impossible for them, Huangfu Buyue suddenly spoke.

"Flee? None of you will escape! Today, you must all die!" Before Yao Rao could even respond, the Scarlet Flame Dragon's furious voice came, followed by soaring flames that illuminated the entire world.

"Nine Heavens Blazing Flames!" the Scarlet Flame Dragon bellowed, launching himself out of the pit and hurtling directly toward Bai Jingfei and the others.

Almost instantaneously, he appeared before Bai Jingfei and Huangfu Buyue, violently unleashing a strike with his palm...

Bai Jingfei and Huangfu Buyue raised their arms to defend almost simultaneously, but the Scarlet Flame Dragon was now exerting his full power—they stood no chance of blocking it.

"Crack..." With a sound, both of their arms were smashed to pieces. Next, the Scarlet Flame Dragon's hands slammed down fiercely onto their heads, causing their skulls to instantly explode. Fiery crimson flames instantly engulfed their bodies. In the blink of an eye, their remains were completely incinerated, leaving only two wisps of green smoke to dissipate into the vastness...

"No..." Witnessing Huangfu Buyue and Bai Jingfei, who had fought alongside her until this day, die so abruptly, Yao Rao let out a piercing, pained cry. She truly could not comprehend how two living beings could be reduced to ash so swiftly.

"I'll fight you to the death..." Yao Rao cried out in delicate rage. Her graceful form instantly shimmered with streaks of white light, faintly tinged with red—a sign that she was about to break through to the Second Stage of Martial God. Under this immense pressure, her power achieved another breakthrough.

"Butterfly Dance Under Heaven!" Yao Rao softly chanted. Her figure swayed gently, and white butterflies drifted out from her body. Each butterfly carried enough power to slay a Grandmaster. In an instant, hundreds of butterflies materialized around her and flew toward the Scarlet Flame Dragon...

Sensing the power contained in every butterfly, the Scarlet Flame Dragon merely curled his lips into a mocking smile...

"Hahaha, the fiercer you are, the more I enjoy it, hahaha!" The Scarlet Flame Dragon roared with laughter, spreading his arms wide. A torrent of flames shot out from his body, instantly burning every butterfly attempting to approach him into ashes.

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a gust of force slammed into Yao Rao, sending her flying. Her body shattered mid-air from the impact...

Her incomparably large, full, and breathtakingly beautiful breasts popped out, pale and tender, a sight that made the Scarlet Flame Dragon's eyes turn completely blood-red. A certain part of his body hardened almost instantly...

Sensing the Dragon's overwhelming power, despair filled Yao Rao's eyes. She felt nothing even as her mangled body hit the ground...

By this time, the Scarlet Flame Dragon, having regained his composure, arrived before Yao Rao. Looking down at the delicate, shattered form beneath his feet, a lecherous, greedy smile spread across his face.

The Extreme Yin Meridians, and still a virgin—what a perfect acquisition! If he enjoyed her, he was certain to break through to the Seventh Grade...

The Scarlet Flame Dragon smiled, extending his demonic claws toward Yao Rao...

Watching the demonic claw lunge toward her, despair flooded Yao Rao's heart. She was already preparing to bite her tongue off and commit suicide...

But in this final moment of life, Ye Jingyu's handsome face surfaced in her mind...

Why was she thinking of him?

In a daze, a figure materialized in her vision: clad in tight black garments, his snow-white hair streaming wildly in the wind...

Heh, am I dreaming? How could he possibly be here? A self-mocking smile touched Yao Rao's lips as her ivory teeth began to press against her own tongue...

(Apologies, brothers, some things have happened, and my mood is quite agitated. Right now, Xingchen feels lost and uncertain about what to do next. I truly don't know what to do!)
