As the mentors and students of Canaan Academy's Outer Courtyard watched in shock, high above in the sky, the battle in Huo Wu's arena was already nearing its end.
The giant azure flame python dyed the entire sky a shade of azure, and the intense heat almost twisted and burned space itself.
Huo Wu's current overall strength was certainly no less than that of an ordinary Four or Five-Star Dou Huang, so how could a group of uneven Dou Wangs possibly resist her?
Thus, in just a few minutes, most of her opponents were either dead or severely wounded, with only two peak Dou Wangs still struggling to hold on.
The two wanted to escape, but they found that their surroundings seemed to be encased by an invisible barrier, leaving them no choice but to fight to the death.
In comparison, the situations on the other battlefields were a bit more intense.
Gu Xun'er faced the Gold and Silver Elders.
These two were the strongest individuals on the Black-Corner Region's Black List, ranked first and second, both possessing the strength of peak Dou Huangs.
Furthermore, they were twin brothers, and together they could contend with Dou Zong powerhouses.
After being boosted by Qi Lin, Gu Xun'er's strength reached the level of a high-level Dou Huang.
However, if she didn't activate her clan markings, the Gold and Silver Elders still put immense pressure on her.
After all, the Gold and Silver Elders far surpassed Gu Xun'er in both combat experience and mastery of Dou Techniques.
Meanwhile, Xue Ling and Zhu Zhuqing each faced three to four Dou Huangs.
Zhuqing was doing fine, but Xue Ling was somewhat overwhelmed; lacking combat experience, she quickly fell into a disadvantage under the encirclement of three Dou Huangs.
After all, her strength, before the boost, was the weakest among all the girls.
Fortunately, after Huo Wu finished her own battle, she quickly helped alleviate a significant amount of pressure for Xue Ling and Zhuqing.
While they were fighting, Qi Lin, Little Fairy Doctor, and Gu Yuena flew into the air to observe the battle.
Just as the battle became intense, in the Inner Courtyard!
Hu Gan, who was helping reinforce the formation beneath the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame, suddenly changed his expression.
Evidently, he had received an urgent request for help from the Outer Courtyard, and his expression immediately turned anxious.
This was a special secret technique; as long as the distance did not exceed one hundred li, messages could be transmitted through Dou Qi.
Upon receiving the Outer Courtyard's plea for help and learning that a group of powerhouses above the Dou Wang level had invaded the Outer Courtyard, Hu Gan immediately stopped helping reinforce the formation and loudly declared, "Grand Elder, the situation has changed! External enemies have invaded the Outer Courtyard!"
At these words, the Elders of Canaan Academy, who were also reinforcing the formation, all paused, and even the movements of their hands slowed slightly.
This allowed the Fallen Heart Flame to seize the opportunity and once again assault the formation.
In an instant, the ground shook, forcing the Elders of Canaan Academy to regain their focus and concentrate on reinforcing the formation.
Among them, the leading white-robed Elder said with a solemn expression, "Hu Gan, you said external enemies invaded the Outer Courtyard? What is the situation in the Outer Courtyard now?"
Hu Gan replied gravely, "It's still unclear. I only received this one message. However, according to the returned message, the invaders of the Academy should be the Medicine Emperor Han Feng from the Black-Corner Region. Besides him, there's also the Sect Master of the Blood Sect, and the Sect Masters of the Earth Flame Sect and the Eight Gates!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed!
These individuals were all formidable powerhouses who had dominated their respective areas in the Black-Corner Region. Why would they suddenly unite to invade Canaan Academy?
Su Qian narrowed his eyes, looking at the violently struggling Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower's formation, a thought flashing through his mind.
Are these people perhaps here for the Heavenly Flame?
Otherwise, why would they arrive so coincidentally, precisely when the Fallen Heart Flame was acting up?
As for the instigator, it should be the Medicine Emperor Han Feng.
In the Black-Corner Region, only he, a Sixth-grade Alchemist, possessed such great influence, and only he, as an Alchemist, would covet a Heavenly Flame.
However, if he wanted a Heavenly Flame, why would he go to Canaan Academy's Outer Courtyard?
Connecting it with the sudden outburst of the Fallen Heart Flame, Su Qian's eyes flickered.
Could it be…
A Heavenly Flame also appeared in the Outer Courtyard!
And the Fallen Heart Flame's outburst is also related to the Heavenly Flame in the Outer Courtyard?
Evidently, Su Qian had guessed correctly!
He quickly made a decision and said in a deep voice, "Hu Gan, leave this to us for now. You take a few Elders back to the Outer Courtyard first and make sure to hold out until we finish reinforcing the formation."
Hu Gan nodded earnestly and said, "Leave it to me!"
With that, Hu Gan immediately selected two Dou Huang Elders and four high-level Dou Wang Elders and rushed towards the Outer Courtyard at the fastest possible speed.
At the same time!
Outer Courtyard!
The battle continued. Golden flames flickered in Gu Xun'er's eyes as the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was unleashed by her at this moment.
The instant the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame appeared, the deep blue Sea Heart Flame at the location where Han Feng died trembled violently, quivering as if a subject facing a monarch, displaying a posture of submission.
Even the Green Lotus Core Flame within Huo Wu, which she had already devoured and refined, trembled with fear.
"Heavenly Flame!"
"This girl actually possesses a Heavenly Flame, and this particular Heavenly Flame can make two other Heavenly Flames feel fear. It must rank quite high on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."
The Gold and Silver Elders felt the terrifying temperature and powerful oppressive sensation emanating from the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and their expressions turned solemn.
The aura from this girl was clearly only that of a high-level Dou Huang, yet the intensity of her Dou Qi was no weaker than a peak Dou Huang, and she even possessed a Heavenly Flame, making both of them feel incredibly troublesome.
Thinking of this, the Gold and Silver Elders couldn't help but become more anxious.
"Big Brother!"
The silver-robed Elder shouted loudly.
The two brothers were of one mind, and the gold-robed Elder immediately understood the silver-robed Elder's intention.
Any delay would lead to complications; they had to capture the woman in front of them as quickly as possible and use her as a hostage, otherwise, they would surely die today.
If they waited any longer, no one could guarantee whether that mysterious man would suddenly make a move.
"Second Brother, use that move!"
"Alright!"
As soon as the words fell, the aura around the Gold and Silver Elders instantly surged, and the energy of heaven and earth immediately converged towards them, forming a massive energy vortex.
In an instant, winds rose, clouds gathered, and energy tides surged.
"Heavenly Fiend Profound Ice Palm!"
The Gold and Silver Elders abruptly changed their hand seals and simultaneously struck out with a palm.
Overwhelming fiendish energy, like a raging torrent, poured out from their hands like a broken dam.
A combined attack from the two of them would force even a Dou Zong powerhouse to retreat.
However, Gu Xun'er showed no intention of retreating; golden flames burned fiercely in her eyes, and her hands rapidly formed seals.
"Emperor Seal Art!"
"Mountain-Splitting Seal!"
"Sea-Overturning Seal!"
"Earth-Covering Seal!"
Gu Xun'er continuously unleashed three seals of the Heaven-rank high-grade Emperor Seal Art.
Under the augmentation of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, three golden flame seals shot out from Gu Xun'er's hands, almost dyeing the sky golden, as if they were going to incinerate the firmament.
The Gold and Silver Elders felt the power emanating from the three seals, and their expressions suddenly changed, a hint of fear rising in their hearts.
"Not good!"
Boom!
The moment the three seals collided with the fiendish energy tide, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, in just the blink of an eye, the fiendish energy tide was swallowed by a sea of flames, which continued to surge towards the Gold and Silver Elders, engulfing them under their horrified gazes.
Within the sea of flames, the two screamed, then fell silent, their auras dissipating.
Everyone knew that the Gold and Silver Elders, who had dominated the Black-Corner Region for decades, had fallen!
And with the demise of the Gold and Silver Elders, this great battle quickly drew to a close.
At the same time, Hu Gan and the others slowly arrived, looking at the scene before them with expressions of utter astonishment!
Are these really students of Canaan Academy?
How are they even fiercer than me, the Vice Dean of the Outer Courtyard!
