CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 283: THE NEW SAINT

Carefree Meng Lan stared at the several-meter-high wall of fire, her heart filled with a surge of fear like a tidal wave. This wall of flames seemed like an awakened beast, roaring, rampaging, and releasing a formidable heat that chilled one’s courage. She knew that trying to charge through this sea of fire, even with their considerable strength, would definitely come at a heavy cost. However, seeing the flames on the side of the giant serpent slowly approaching, she had no other choice.

"Let’s charge, or it will be too late!" Jinzai Dotun shouted anxiously, his voice ringing with an unusual determination reflected in the firelight.

Carefree Meng Lan took a deep breath, a flicker of resolve passing through her eyes. She understood that hesitation at this moment would only trap them in an even more dangerous situation. So, she clenched her teeth and shouted, "Alright, let’s break through!"

Supporting each other, their gazes became extraordinarily red under the reflection of the blazing flames, as if burning with the same fighting spirit. Led by Jinzai Dotun, they charged towards the wall of fire together!

However, just as they were about to touch the wall of fire, a tremendous explosion shook the entire space. A scorching, flaming serpent, with a world-ending force, surged from behind them. Wherever the serpentine flames passed, they shot up to the sky, turning every plant into black ash under the intense heat.

Ling Yueyaya glanced back while running and was immediately aghast. She saw that the fiery serpent was opening its giant maw, as if it intended to swallow the entire world. And Carefree Meng Lan was caught within the serpent’s range of attack!

"Sister Naxue!" Ling Yueyaya screamed in terror. But at this moment, Jinzai Dotun and the others were already surrounded by the fire in front of them and couldn’t sense the danger from behind. The water energy in Ling Yueyaya’s hand stopped flowing, and her face turned pale as paper.

Carefree Meng Lan was also frozen in place. She had thought she was prepared to face any hardship, but at this moment, she realized her internal fear was far stronger than imagined. However, in this life-and-death moment, a familiar and tenacious figure suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Luo Chen!" Carefree Meng Lan exclaimed.

There was Luo Chen, his entire body enveloped in a green light, as if transformed into a fiercely spinning vortex. Having lost the protection of the Divine Fire Sword, his hands were burned by the flames, leaving them a bloody mess. Yet even so, he continued to hold the serpent’s head tightly, using his body to buy Carefree Meng Lan and the others a slim chance of survival.

Luo Chen’s eyes revealed unprecedented determination and resolve. He knew his strength seemed so insignificant before the fiery serpent, but he also understood that at this moment, he absolutely couldn’t retreat. Because behind him were the companions and loved ones he had sworn to protect.

The scorching heat of the serpent transmitted through Luo Chen’s hands, spreading through his whole body, as if trying to incinerate his very soul. Yet Luo Chen gritted his teeth, stubbornly enduring this unbearable pain. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his eyes shone with an unyielding light.

Witnessing this scene, Carefree Meng Lan and the others were filled with immense shock. They knew Luo Chen was risking his life to buy them time, and this camaraderie and sacrifice made them feel deeply aggrieved and moved. At this moment, the fear in their hearts seemed to be dispelled by Luo Chen’s determination, replaced by an unprecedented courage and strength.

"Luo Chen!" Jinzai Dotun roared in anger, struggling to break free from the flames ahead to support Luo Chen. However, the wall of fire seemed to possess endless power, firmly blocking them outside.

"Everyone, don’t panic! Let’s all work hard to charge out together!" Carefree Meng Lan took a deep breath and shouted loudly. She knew that panic at this moment would only plunge them into even greater danger. Only by working together could they overcome the obstacles in front of them.

With Carefree Meng Lan’s rallying cry, they regained their composure. Together, they made one last dash towards the wall of fire. Ling Yueyaya also once again summoned the water energy in her palm, providing the group with a faint protection.
