It wasn't just Sha Hu; Han Feng and the others in the sky also showed looks of horror.
Beside Han Feng, the old man in golden and silver robes said in a deep voice, "The aura on this woman instantly surged from a Three-star Dou Ling to a level almost at the peak of Dou Wang!"
"Could it be that this woman was truly feigning weakness to prey on others?"
"No, her strength surged because that man did something to her."
"But what kind of secret technique in this world could instantly boost a Three-star Dou Ling to the peak of Dou Wang?"
This was what horrified the Golden-Silver Elders and Han Feng.
The others merely thought, no wonder this woman was so fearless; it turns out her true strength had reached the peak of Dou Wang.
Now, Sha Hu was in for big trouble!
And in the flash of a moment while they were still pondering, Huo Wu raised her hand and waved it, and a thunderous crack echoed through the air.
A cyan flame long whip tore through the air, drawing a cyan trajectory in mid-air.
The flame long whip was several zhang long, and Huo Wu held the whip, fiercely lashing it towards Sha Hu.
Crack!
A massive cyan flame wave instantly became like a ferocious, roaring giant python, tearing and biting at Sha Hu with bared fangs and claws.
Sha Hu's pupils suddenly constricted. He had already become fully alert after sensing the change in Huo Wu's body, so the moment Huo Wu made her move, he immediately made a judgment.
Although he was still a step slower than Huo Wu's attack speed, he still swung his arms in a circle before the cyan giant python struck, unleashing an earthy-brown circular defensive shield that enveloped himself.
However, Huo Wu's strength still exceeded his expectations.
Although Huo Wu's Dou Qi was only boosted to the peak Dou Wang level by Qi Lin, her other attributes absolutely surpassed the peak Dou Wang level.
Furthermore, after devouring the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Dou Qi within her body had already transformed into an exotic flame Dou Qi, which was incredibly refined.
What's more, Huo Wu also cultivated the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Art, which had been improved by Qi Lin.
In terms of Dou Qi intensity, even an ordinary Dou Huang could not compare to her.
Huo Wu's Dou Qi intensity had already reached the Dou Huang level, while Sha Hu was merely a Two-star Dou Wang.
The outcome of their confrontation, who was stronger and who was weaker, was clear at a glance!
Sha Hu's hastily deployed defense was like paper in the face of Huo Wu's offensive, easily pierced.
The moment his defense was broken, Sha Hu's body was instantly swallowed by the ferocious giant python, letting out a mournful wail.
"Not good, save him!"
Han Feng immediately shouted upon seeing this.
In an instant, several figures flashed out from behind him, their various splendid Dou Qi whistling. Some lunged towards Huo Wu, while others attacked the cyan flame giant python, attempting to rescue Sha Hu.
Upon seeing this, a fierce battle intent flashed in Huo Wu's eyes, and she let out a loud laugh.
"A'Lin, you guys help me hold the line. As long as the leading few don't make a move, leave the rest to me!"
Qi Lin said with a smile, "Just fight to your heart's content; those few people can't move!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu's cyan Dou Qi surged.
Boom!
As if by instinct, a pair of cyan flame wings actually emerged from Huo Wu's back.
A hint of novelty flashed in Huo Wu's eyes.
Dou Qi Wings, this was the symbol of the Dou Wang level.
Huo Wu originally thought that even though her Dou Qi intensity reached the Dou Wang level with Qi Lin's boost, she wouldn't be able to use Dou Qi Wings like a normal Dou Wang.
Unexpectedly…
This was quite a pleasant surprise!
Facing the strong practitioners from the Black-Corner Region who were attacking her, Huo Wu tapped her toes, and the next second, her body soared into the air.
Huo Wu was skilled in using whip techniques. Centered around her, the fire elements in the world instantly became violent, and the world's energy converged, clearly forming a massive fire-attribute energy vortex.
"A bunch of mere chickens and dogs, watch how this girl punishes you!"
Huo Wu chuckled lightly. As she fiercely waved her long whip, the energy vortex formed by the convergence of heaven and earth energy was pulled by the long whip in her hand.
In an instant, cyan flames roared, actually condensing into an incomparably massive flame storm that roared towards the strong practitioners from the Black-Corner Region who were attacking her.
"What a terrifying display! What kind of Dou Skill is this?!"
"To be able to manipulate heaven and earth energy, it must be at least an Earth-tier Dou Skill!"
"With such strength and the ability to use an Earth-tier Dou Skill, how could this woman still be confined to the Outer Academy of Canaan Academy?"
The hearts of the Black-Corner Region people sank.
And those attacks directed at Huo Wu were instantly annihilated the moment they touched the flame storm.
However, the power of the flame storm was only slightly diminished, and it still charged towards the strong practitioners from the Black-Corner Region who had initiated the attack.
"Quick, resist together!"
A black-clothed Dou Wang shouted loudly, holding a ghost-head saber, and slashed out with one strike.
A black-red saber light, several tens of zhang long, instantly shot out from his ghost-head saber, slashing towards the flame storm.
Following him, the others also reacted in an instant and attacked together.
Splendid Dou Skills erupted from their hands, and the energy aftermath exploded in the sky, then rapidly spread outwards with this place as the center.
In an instant, the entire Outer Academy was shaken, and countless Outer Academy students were startled by this terrifying energy aftermath, their spines chilling.
However, due to the outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame in the Inner Academy, the Dou Wang-level Elders of the Outer Academy had all gone to support the Inner Academy, leaving the Outer Academy empty. Therefore, even with such a sudden change, Canaan Academy did not have a single strong practitioner step forward.
There were, however, some Dou Ling-level academy instructors who, upon sensing the approaching Han Feng and his group, had already gathered the academy and hidden, and had sought help from the Inner Academy at the first opportunity.
On the other side, the flame storm collided with the colorful Dou Skills.
The moment of collision, a huge mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and surging airwaves, like towering giant waves, spread outwards.
The seven Dou Wang strong practitioners who had attacked Huo Wu together were actually sent flying back after just one exchange.
Because the previous attacks had already weakened the power of the flame storm, they were not severely injured, but their disheveled appearances still made Huo Wu appear like a female war goddess.
Besides the seven Dou Wangs who fought Huo Wu, there were also three Dou Wangs who moved to rescue Sha Hu, who had been swallowed by the flame giant python.
However, when they broke through the flame giant python, they only found Sha Hu already burned beyond recognition, his entire body emitting the scent of roasted meat.
Clearly, Sha Hu was dead beyond dead, becoming the first Dou Wang strong practitioner to fall on Han Feng's expedition.
Now, Han Feng couldn't sit still!
No matter what strength those two men and women, whom he couldn't even see through, possessed, the exotic flame was right before his eyes, and he would never give up on it.
He looked at the Golden-Silver Elders beside him and shouted, "Everyone, let's attack together!"
Before his voice faded, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, and a deep blue flame also shot up from within him.
It was the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Exotic Flame List!
With the appearance of the Sea Heart Flame, the surrounding temperature rose again, and the air itself twisted.
The Golden-Silver Elders and the many Dou Huangs beside Han Feng, seeing this, all prepared to make their move.
However, the moment they moved, an aura that made their very souls tremble descended upon them, enveloping them.
At this moment, it felt as if they were bearing a majestic divine mountain on their bodies, making it impossible for them to move an inch.
Then, a slightly lazy chuckle sounded in their ears.
"Everyone, don't move!"
