Chapter 123: Sacrificing One's Life for Righteousness

  Yun Feng and Han Chong had both been seriously injured before, although they had recovered a bit during this period of time, but still couldn't withstand such a degree of loss.

  "Yunfeng, you protect Han Chong, I will think of a way."

  "Hu Gao brothers, I can still fight!" Yun Feng's face was slightly red, he didn't exert much effort in the battle just now.

  "No, you keep your strength, the only one that can take us away is your Blue Winged Eagle." Hu Gao shook his head in refusal.

  "Alright." Yun Feng nodded helplessly, his attacks couldn't harm the Radiant Snake at all. Hu Gao was planning to keep him as a trump card for escaping.

  Huoyun Chan also jumped in front of Hu Gao, chirping anxiously.

  Just now, Han Cong's attack, Huo Yun Chan looked at it sincerely, the tongue that was pressed against the snake's neck, even felt the vibration inside the python's body. It had always been watching Han Cong and Yun Feng practice in Hu Gao's sleeve, naturally understanding the subtleties within.

  "Huo Yun, don't make any noise at this time, I didn't understand what you mean, do you want to run away?" Hu Gao said.

  "The Toad said he had a way to deal with the broken snake, but it would require many Red Dragon Crystals." Yīng Guāng translated.

  "Huo Yun, brother, do you have a way to deal with the Radium Snake?! How many Red Dragon Fire Crystals will it take?" Hu Gao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

  "Quack! Quack!"

  "Everything!" Ying Guang continued translating.

  "Alright!" Hu Gao threw all the dozen or so Red Dragon Crystals from his Spatial Ring to Huo Yun Cai, while encouraging him: "Huo Yun brother, this time it's up to you, when we get back let Xiao Wu treat you to a big feast!"

  "Hmph!" Huo Yun Chan nodded in satisfaction and then swallowed all the Red Dragon Fire Crystals into his belly.

  After eating the Red Dragon Fire Crystal, Huoyun Chan's body suddenly burst into flames, and the golden spots on his skin shone brightly like a golden light sword that was about to pierce through his skin. The golden light grew stronger and stronger, dyeing the red flames on his body gold.

  "Wow, Fire Cloud Toad, are you courting death?!" Jing Guang shouted, this was Fire Cloud Toad burning his potential!

  "Hmmph!"

  Huoyun Chan's mouth puffed up and he grunted in response, then not only his mouth but also his belly started to swell.

  "Huoyun brother, stop quickly!" Hu Gao was shocked and lost color, Huoyun Chanyu had been following him for so long, sending Black Fire Lotus, and also making friends with Xiao Wu from White Fire Snow Lotus, and even absorbing Dragon Qi once. Now he's actually fighting to the death for them!

  "Miss Yingguang, stop Huoyun quickly!" Hu Gao shouted.

  "It's no use, young green-haired one. Let's go and block the broken snake to buy it some time." As she finished speaking, just before leaving, she added another sentence, "Toad, someone likes you!"

  "Brother Huoyun..."

  Hu Gao sighed and didn't say anything else, gripping his long spear as he charged towards the Radish Snake. Behind him, Yun Feng and Han Chong also followed, charging forward. Hu Gao nodded at them, no longer stopping them.

  Huoyun Chan had turned into a golden ball, the flames burning slowly weakened, and then the golden light also weakened.

  When the golden light disappeared, Huoyun Chan's body seemed to deflate, slowly shrinking down.

  On the side of fighting with the radish snake, Ying Guang held Yun Feng's Chi Meng sword and flashed back and forth on the radish snake's head, specializing in the radish snake's two eyes, making the radish snake hesitant.

  Hu Gao and the other two focused on attacking the spots where the Shadowless Sword was inserted into the Thunder Snake's body. Worried that Yun Feng and Han Chong would get hurt, Hu Gao went all out to seize every opportunity to attack, not letting them get too close to the Thunder Snake, which earned him a stream of curses from Han Chong, but secretly warmed his heart.

  Radium snake's body flashed again, Hu Gao hastily pulled the two back, the defensive halo given by Ying Guang had already expired, now they could only rely on their own yuan force to resist.

  Roar!

  A voice like a dragon and a frog came from behind.

  Hú Gāo turned his head and saw Huǒ Yún Chán jumping over with a greatly changed appearance.

  At this time, Huoyun Chan was no longer the fat figure with a red cloak and white belly, but like a fire-scorched statue, all black, with two colorful eyes that looked particularly spirited.

  The rough skin became smooth and shiny, with bulging muscles underneath, full of explosive power, especially a pair of legs. Hu Gao felt that under the drive of those muscles, that big webbed foot would definitely be able to kick out a volcano on the ground.

  Upon hearing Huoyun Chanyu's intention, Yingguang no longer entangled with the Thunder Snake, but instead flew to the front of Hu Gao and his two companions, emitting a light aura that protected them from the lightning.

  "Yingguang, what's wrong with Huoyun Chan?" Hu Gao felt that the aura of Huoyun Chan's second-stage peak had seemingly disappeared, and he asked anxiously.

  "With the help of the dragon's breath in the Red Dragon Crystal and fire attribute energy, forcibly mutate, at the cost of losing elemental energy, to enhance physical strength. Others think that Toads are really impressive." Ying Guang explained.

  "What will happen after that?"

  "I don't know." Jingguang shook her head.

  Huoyun Chan let out a loud roar, and without stopping, he charged towards the Radish Snake. His feet stomped on the ground, creating a large pit, revealing his explosive strength. In the blink of an eye, he had already flashed in front of the Radish Snake.

  Hu Gao thought that Huo Yuhao, who was now standing on two legs, really looked like a large black man.

  Huoyun Chan arrived in front of the Radish Snake, not giving the opponent a chance to react. With a big kick, he kicked the Radish Snake into the air and immediately followed up with an inverted hang, knocking the snake's head back onto the ground. The force was so great that the snake's head bounced back up.

  Radish snake struggled to dodge the next flying kick, however, on Radish snake's body, Huoyun Chan's legs were equally long, kicking the snake head into the air again and hanging it back onto the ground.

  The radium snake let out a loud hiss, its extremely explosive attack causing its hard body to crash into the ground and create deep pits, causing it immense pain. What was even more unbearable was that the shockwave was stimulating its brain, and also impacting its shattered demon core.

  The radish snake wanted to hide, but found that it could only move left and right, and couldn't retreat at all. It tried to wrap its tail around the opponent, but its broken tail was no longer agile, and the bloody stump was kicked away by the opponent as it swept past. When it opened its mouth to bite, it was met with a big kick from the opponent's foot.

  The radish snake was beaten and retreated, soon unbearable. Shrinking the back half of its body, it withstood a flying kick, mobilizing all its muscles to shrink its neck and form a snake array.

  Huoyun Chan charged forward recklessly, rushing into the snake formation, and with one swift kick, he swept across the snakes.

  The coiled snake array of the Radish Snake rose to absorb the impact, and after withstanding this kick, the Radish Snake spotted an opportunity, stretched its neck, and bit down on one of Huoyun Chan's feet.

  Huoyun Chan let out a loud roar, kicked both legs and jumped into the air with the radish snake, swinging his legs to fling the radish snake towards the nearby wall.

  A loud rumble shook the entire cave, as if it had been shaken along with it.

  The radish snake was thrown into a daze, but it bit tightly on the frog's leg and refused to let go.

  Huoyun Chan let out a loud roar and spun around in mid-air, slamming the Radish Snake against the wall once again.

  The radish snake let out another hiss, not loosening its grip. It wanted to inject its deadly venom into the toad's body. Relying on its sturdy physique, it was determined to exhaust the fire cloud toad to death. Although being slammed around was painful, it was still better than getting kicked in the head.

  Huoyun Chan also got angry and slammed the snake with all his might. He slammed it to the left, then to the right, jumped up and slammed it down, did a backflip slam...

  Huoyun Chan performed the snake-shaking play with great effort, and Yingguang watched in amazement, appearing extremely excited.

  Hu Gao and his three companions couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If Huo Yuhao hadn't brought them into the Mausoleum of Yu, they wouldn't have had to suffer such a fate!

  After a long time, Huoyun Chan could no longer shake off the Radish Snake and lay on the ground convulsing. The Radish Snake was still biting his foot, also convulsing.

  "Oh no, the toad won't move!" Jingguang cried out.

  "Wo Zifa! Huoyun brother, don't die!" Hu Gao shouted and rushed up.

  "Hu Gao, be careful." Yun Feng and Han Chong also followed up.

  Hu Gao didn't respond, and the Radiant Serpent was unafraid even when it was alive, let alone now that it's dead or alive but unknown!

  Hu Gao approached Huoyun Cang, and suddenly felt a scorching aura approaching, and had to mobilize his yuan force to defend against it.

  "Huo Yun, are you alright?" Hu Gao asked. He could feel that Huo Yun's body was filled with fire attribute energy, scorching his divine sense to the point of pain.

  "Yingguang, what's wrong with Huoyun?" Hu Gao asked anxiously.

  "The toad isn't dead, his body is full of violent fire attribute energy, I don't know what will happen to him, maybe Queen Mother can help him, she's not a fire attribute after all. That broken snake has fainted." Yīng Guāng said after probing around.

  Hearing that Huoyun Chan was not dead, Hu Gao let out a sigh of relief.

  "Radium snake fainted? How is that possible?"

  The power that Huoyun Chan burst out with was indeed strong, but at most it's around fourth-order, how could it possibly knock the Radish Snake unconscious? The Radish Snake's physical strength is above sixth-order after all.

  "The broken snake wanted to poison the frog, but it didn't expect that the frog's body was full of fire attribute energy. The fire crystal condensed by Lord Chi was not simple, not only did it evaporate the snake's venom, but also the external fire attribute energy stunned the snake. It's all because of this broken snake's own fault, if he had transformed into a fire attribute earlier, he wouldn't have been in this situation, but instead insisted on keeping his electric attribute, thinking it was more impressive." Jing Guang hummed and continued to add: "However, the frog's legs were indeed broken, what a pity."

  "As long as it's not dead, that's all right!" Hu let out a sigh of relief and decided to take good care of the Fire Cloud Toad from now on.

  "Not bad, successor. As a contractor of the dragon, you should understand how to get along with the demon beast. This is also the legacy of Yao, the way of equality between humans and beasts."

  Ehuang held a white and chubby Kui Luo, leading a team of Li Zhu ants, driving away the red fog, and walked in.

  "Elder Sister!" Jing Guang called out and went forward to greet her.

  "Goodbye, thank you for your hard work. And also, thank you, humans." Yao Huang nodded to Hu Gao and the others.

  "Elder sister, where is Xiao Wu? Can you save Huo Yun's brother?" asked Hu Gao.

  "When the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon leaves, it will naturally return to your body. This Huoyun Chan had previously eaten the Red Dragon Fire Crystal that was sent out, and he originally had a fate with the Red Lord, and he is also clever, content, and knows how to repay kindness. Such a king is also needed among the demon beasts."

  Ehuang walked up to Huoyun Chan, put down the Kui Luo in her arms, and placed her hand on Huoyun Chan's body. The dense fire attribute energy then flowed out of Huoyun Chan's body and condensed onto Ehuang's hand.

  As the fire attribute dissipated, the black color on Huoyun Chan's body began to fade, and his body also started to become plump. Finally, after the violent fire attribute energy disappeared, Huoyun Chan transformed into a tadpole-like appearance, with more golden colors appearing on his skin.
