Chapter 546: Zi Yan's Power and Zhu Kun's Sensation

In this underground magma world, everything around is filled with boiling hot magma.

The magma rolled and surged, emitting unbearable heat, burning the air and distorting it, and everywhere in sight was a hazy red.

At this moment, a stream of light suddenly appeared in the magma. The speed of the light was extremely fast, and it flew downwards like a sharp arrow.

In the blink of an eye, it crossed a long distance, and the surrounding magma seemed to be blown to both sides by the strong wind it brought, forming strange ripples.

However, this underground magma world is surprisingly deep. Even though the light has such an astonishing speed and continues to travel through this endless magma, it cannot reach the bottom quickly. This shows how unfathomable this underground magma world is.

Outside the flame shield formed by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was an endless magma world. The hot breath constantly surged in from the surroundings, but was firmly isolated by the cold fire.

Inside, Zi Yan originally just held a nonchalant attitude about accompanying Xiao Ling on this trip, but as time went by, her expression gradually became serious.

You know, with Xiao Ling and her current strength, the speed of traveling through this underground magma world should be extremely fast, but after such a long period of time, there is still no sign of reaching the destination.

They have already penetrated an unknown distance into this underground magma world, and there is nothing around them except the magma that seems to have no end.

Zi Yan thought to herself that this place must be extraordinary to be so vast and deep. Maybe there were some shocking secrets or powerful opportunities hidden deeper inside. No wonder Xiao Ling came here so solemnly to find out.

She couldn't help but tighten her grip on Xiao Ling's hand slightly, her eyes showing a bit more solemnity and expectation, and she continued to follow Xiao Ling towards the unknown depths.

Xiao Ling, who was standing by, naturally noticed the change in Zi Yan's expression, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just smiled and continued chatting with Zi Yan.

While the two of them were chatting incoherently, they flew towards the deeper part of the underground magma, and their speed was even faster than before.

Wherever the two men passed, the magma was quickly left behind, leaving only a series of brief traces, which were then submerged again by the surging magma in an instant.

……

The two continued to dive for a while. Zi Yan, who was chatting with Xiao Ling, was suddenly stunned and blurted out: "What else is there?"

It turned out that with her keen blood sensitivity, she unexpectedly detected that in this underground magma world, there were several creatures' auras rapidly heading towards the direction where she and Xiao Ling were.

This sudden situation really surprised Zi Yan. She subconsciously stopped talking, frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of vigilance.

While holding Xiao Ling's hand tightly, she looked intently in the direction where the breath came from, wanting to see what kind of creature would appear in this hot and deep underground magma world.

"Don't be nervous. Those are the fire lizardmen I told you about before, living in this underground magma world. It was at their hands that Lord Skyfire fell. But for us, they are not a big hidden danger." Xiao Ling said in a calm and soothing tone.

In fact, Xiao Ling had already known about the approach of the fire lizardmen when Zi Yan noticed it. However, he did not show any surprise or panic on his face. After all, he had expected such a situation. With his current strength, he was confident, so how could he be afraid of these fire lizardmen?

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Zi Yan's nervousness subsided a little, but she still remained a little vigilant.

Because, as those auras got closer, Zi Yan became more and more aware that the strength of some of them was already not weaker than the level of 8th-level magical beasts.

You know, the eighth-level monsters have power that cannot be underestimated. They are definitely not ordinary characters. She is at this level now.

Obviously, these so-called fire lizardmen are far from being as simple as Xiao Ling said.

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, staring intently at the direction where the auras were gradually approaching, ready to respond, just waiting for the fire lizardmen to show up.

As Xiao Ling and Zi Yan continued to descend deeper into the underground magma world, the aura of the fire lizardmen was also approaching them rapidly.

Before long, there was no need to rely on blood sensing to detect it. With just the naked eye, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan could see that in the boiling magma world, dozens of fire lizardmen were rushing towards them aggressively.

Those fire lizardmen were covered with hard scales that seemed to be condensed from magma. Under the reflection of the surrounding magma, they flashed dazzling red light, like balls of burning flames moving.

They were agile, and every time they swam through the magma, they would cause large pieces of hot magma to splash up. The sound of "crackling" was endless, as if they were the horns of their attack. A pair of fierce eyes stared at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.

His eyes were full of vigilance and aggression, as if he was about to open his big mouth full of sharp teeth and pounce on the two of them in the next moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan slowed down their pace slightly, but did not stop flying downwards.

Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a light smile, turned his head to look at Zi Yan beside him, and said with a bit of joking:
"Why, you haven't moved for a long time, why don't you take this opportunity to stretch your muscles? If you find it troublesome, I can just take action and get rid of them all, so that they won't be in the way here."

After saying that, Xiao Ling cast his gaze towards the fire lizardmen who were approaching quickly, with a hint of ease in his eyes, as if they were just facing some minions that were not to be feared.

However, Xiao Ling now has already broken through to the Great Talisman Master level, and his strength is incomparable to the past.

For these fire lizardmen, the strongest among them is only barely at the level of a high-level human Dou Zun. In Xiao Ling's eyes, they are not really powerful characters and it is not surprising at all.

"Hehe, don't underestimate me, okay? Don't think that you can surpass me just because you have practiced that talisman mastery. If we really count the cultivation levels, I am slightly better than you." Zi Yan couldn't help but snorted when she saw Xiao Ling's half-smile. There was a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat in her beautiful eyes.

Although Xiao Ling said this jokingly, it was true when she thought about it carefully. She hadn't really fought for quite a while. When she was still in Canaan College, she often went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to fight with those Magical Beasts for medicinal materials. Although the days at that time were full of dangers, they were also full of passion and excitement.

But since following Xiao Ling to Zhongzhou and returning to Ancient Dragon Island, life has indeed become much more comfortable, and the feeling of frequent passionate battles in the past is gone.

However, at this moment, facing these fire lizardmen who are coming at him aggressively, he can take this opportunity to stretch his muscles a little, so that Xiao Ling will know that he is not a vegetarian.

After saying that, Zi Yan immediately stepped into the void, and her figure instantly jumped out from the flame light curtain, like a purple lightning, rushing straight towards the direction of the fire lizardmen.

The aura around her was surging wildly, and it was obvious that she was planning to show off her skills and let Xiao Ling see how powerful she was.

When Xiao Ling saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle. How could he not guess what Zi Yan was thinking? But he didn't care too much about it.

Although the strength of these fire lizardmen cannot be underestimated if one really calculates it, many of them have reached the level of human Dou Zun. It is really not an easy task for Zi Yan to deal with them alone.

But Xiao Ling knew in his heart that Zi Yan would definitely not get hurt with him taking care of her. Even if any emergency occurred, he would be able to take action immediately to protect Zi Yan's safety.

Besides, this might be a good opportunity to train Zi Yan.

On weekdays, this guy always eats and plays, plays and eats, eats and plays, and plays and sleeps all day long. She can't be so lazy. Proper combat is essential for improving her strength. This is a good opportunity for her to move around.

Then, Xiao Ling slowly raised his hand and waved it lightly. In an instant, the magma within a radius of several thousand feet around him seemed to be instantly affected by an extremely huge repulsive force and rushed towards the surroundings madly.

The boiling hot magma was quickly squeezed to the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, a completely empty space was created in this underground magma world that was originally full of magma. It formed a very sharp contrast with the constantly rolling and surging magma around it, and it seemed particularly abrupt in this world full of magma.

However, such a magical and impactful scene was achieved in an instant under Xiao Ling's powerful control, as if it was just a simple matter for him.

Faced with such a situation, Zi Yan immediately realized that this was Xiao Ling's method. She couldn't help but silently give Xiao Ling a thumbs up in her heart, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

After all, this really saves her a lot of trouble. She no longer needs to mobilize her fighting spirit to protect herself. This undoubtedly gives her some small help.

Furthermore, it was obvious that those fire lizardmen were extremely good at launching attacks in magma. Now Xiao Ling's move directly drained the surrounding magma, which was equivalent to cutting off their "geographical" advantage in one fell swoop, further weakening the opponent's strength.

On the other hand, the Fire Lizardmen, faced with this sudden change, were stunned where they were, their fierce eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

They had originally planned to use the cover of the magma to launch a fierce attack on Xiao Ling and Zi Yan who had intruded into this place, but now the familiar magma environment suddenly disappeared, replaced by an empty space, which made them a little at a loss for a moment, and they just floated in the air in a daze.

Zi Yan would naturally not miss this excellent opportunity, and she rushed forward like lightning.

In an instant, purple light burst out from her body. The light was bright and dazzling, dyeing the entire space with a layer of mysterious purple.

At the same time, her figure changed instantly, from the appearance of a cute little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, to an adult woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a graceful figure yet exuding a heroic spirit, showing a noble aura.

Then, she thought about it, and the pair of boxing gloves given by Xiao Ling suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and then they were firmly put on her fists.

There were faint runes flowing on the boxing gloves, and a faint silver spatial force bursting out.

Zi Yan swung her fist violently, and the power of space suddenly burst out. Lines of purple power as if real surged out from her fist. The attack instantly penetrated the void and went straight towards several fire lizardmen whose strength had reached the Dou Zun level.

As the attack approached, cracks began to appear in the void. The cracks quickly spread out, making a "cracking" sound. The surrounding space seemed unable to withstand this powerful force and began to twist violently.

The purple power carried a destructive force, and wherever it passed, even the air was torn apart with a humming sound, as if it was going to crush everything that stood in its way. It smashed hard towards the fire lizardmen, as if it was going to defeat them in one fell swoop.

The attack containing powerful space force accurately landed on several fire lizardmen. In an instant, there was a crackling sound. Under the crazy strangulation of the space force, they were blasted into pieces in the blink of an eye, turned into bits of debris, and dissipated in the empty space.

When the other fire lizardmen saw this, they suddenly reacted as if awakened from a dream. Their eyes, which had originally been filled with murderous light, instantly ignited with flames of anger, and they all let out angry roars, and the sound echoed in this underground space.

Then, they rushed towards Zi Yan, with their fangs and claws bared, spewing columns of hot magma from their mouths. The magma columns, carrying rolling heat waves, swept towards Zi Yan with great momentum.

However, Zi Yan was calm and composed. She moved nimbly and lightly tapped the air with her feet. She then flew up like a light purple butterfly and easily avoided the surging lava columns.

The lava columns brushed past the corners of her clothes and fell into the void behind her, splashing sparks, but failed to hurt Zi Yan at all. Instead, they aroused her interest even more.

Even the originally lavender pupils became deeper at this moment, and the power of the ancient dragon faintly spread out.

……

At the same time, in front of the door of Tushe Ancient Emperor's cave, Zhu Kun, who was originally taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes, and then slowly raised his mountain-like head and looked upwards.

After a moment, a steady male voice came out from the giant dragon's mouth. The voice was a little doubtful and echoed in front of the quiet cave: "Is that... an illusion? (End of this chapter)
