In a certain area on the west side of Red Sand Flame Island, a small passenger ship capable of holding twenty people slowly approached and docked at the shore.
A dozen people dressed in yellowish-brown robes disembarked one after another.
At the forefront was a middle-aged man with a square face, his Star Power fluctuation was astonishing. Upon closer inspection, he was actually a Silver High Stage expert!
Additionally, there were three others nearby whose auras were not weak either. Shockingly, they were all at the Silver Stage!
"Skinny Ma, when did that girl arrive?" the square-faced middle-aged man asked without turning his head.
The yellow-faced old man called Skinny Ma responded: "According to the information, it should have been two days ago."
The old man named Skinny Ma was actually named Ma Huaxiong. Due to his lean physique, he was known as Skinny Ma. Apart from the leading middle-aged man, Yan Song, he had the highest realm, being in the Silver Middle Stage.
The other two Silver-ranked individuals were a man and a woman, both at the Silver Early Stage. The remaining twelve people ranged from the Bronze Middle Stage to the Bronze High Stage.
Yan Song nodded: "Very well, then disperse and search.
Remember, her target is Red Fire Essence Gold. You only need to look in places with high Fire Element concentration, and you'll find her.
Although she is only at the Bronze Middle Stage, she is not someone that ordinary Bronze Level warriors can handle. Once you locate her, do not act rashly. Inform me immediately and keep an eye on her. I will come over immediately."
The two Silver Early Stage and twelve Bronze-ranked individuals responded, then dispersed to search the Red Sand Flame Island.
Yan Song sneered: "That girl is really interesting. Despite having such good resources, she insisted on gathering it herself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this opportunity today."
Ma Huaxiong pondered for a moment and asked: "Master, are we really going to capture that little girl?"
"Of course!" Yan Song's eyes flashed with a cold light. "That witch killed so many of our Quicksand Sect members, she must taste the pain of having her loved ones taken away!"
For the future of Quicksand Sect, Ma Huaxiong still tried to persuade Yan Song.
"But she wasn't targeting just our Quicksand Sect. Since she has completed her task and left, our sect can lay low for a while and still regain its glory!
If we take action against her sister now, we might become mortal enemies. She might come back for revenge…"
"No more words!" Yan Song turned to stare at Ma Huaxiong, his eyes cold as ice.
"Even my brother died at her hands. It's already a situation of life and death!
Moreover, it's said that the witch cares deeply for her sister. Maybe we can trade one life for another and avenge our loss!"
Ma Huaxiong sighed deeply at these words.
The arrow was already on the bowstring; there was no turning back. They could only proceed to the end.
Perhaps, just as Yan Song said, they might be able to trade the girl for the witch's life.
And if they killed the witch, Quicksand Sect's reputation would grow significantly among the sects. They might even seize the opportunity to consolidate the remnants of other sects, becoming the leading faction.
With this thought, Ma Huaxiong firmed his resolve.
Yan Song said: "Let's go. The sooner we find her, the sooner we can leave, preventing any unexpected complications!"
The day remained sunny and peaceful on Red Sand Flame Island.
Three days had passed since Su Yuan arrived on the island.
At this moment, Su Yuan was inside a massive, brilliantly illuminated cave.
In front of Su Yuan, two Hellfires clad in armor and wielding swords were fiercely battling a two-legged bull-like fierce beast.
Surrounding the battlefield were three Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves, waiting for opportunities to launch Netherfire Cannon shots or initiate Skeleton Charges to sneak attack the bull-like beast from behind with their Netherfire Steel Claws.
As for the other three Netherfire Skeleton Wolves, they had already been shattered into scattered bones!
The bull-like Star Beast was pitch black with blood-red eyes and two crimson horns. Its muscles, resembling iron walls, clashed equally with the two heavily armed Hellfires, displaying incredible strength!
This bull-like fierce beast was known as the Flame Bull Demon, also a rare Master Star Beast, at the Silver Early Stage!
Thus, Su Yuan's two Hellfires were struggling a bit to handle it.
Though struggling, the Flame Bull Demon was gradually showing signs of fatigue in front of the two Hellfires with monstrous physical strength and fearlessness towards death.
"If it wants to turn the tide, now would be the time…" Su Yuan stood nearby, closely monitoring the battle.
Suddenly, Su Yuan seemed to sense something, his eyes discreetly glanced toward the cave entrance.
At that moment, accompanied by an angry bull roar, the Flame Bull Demon unleashed its final big move!
Crimson fire lines appeared on its black demonic body, visibly turning its entire body red like an erupting volcano. Highly concentrated Fire Elements gathered in the Flame Bull Demon's tightly clenched fists!
Su Yuan's expression tensed. He quickly commanded the two Hellfires with his thoughts to activate their formidable blue skill, Evil Power Shield.
The Hellfires' bodies, enveloped in green Evil Energy Flames, suddenly intensified several times, forming a chaotic, evil aura-filled spherical shield around them!
Just as the Evil Power Shield formed, the Flame Bull Demon's killer move was ready!
The fire exploded, and red steam surged!
The Flame Bull Demon swung its fists, causing bursts of fist power to rain down like meteors. In a matter of seconds, it unleashed thirty-six punches!
Blast Bull Demon Fist·Thirty-Six Strikes!
This blue skill could perfectly utilize the Flame Bull Demon's strength, agility, and Star Power.
In fact, a Perfect Level Blast Bull Demon Fist could deliver seventy-two strikes, truly earth-shattering and all-destructive!
However, this Flame Bull Demon had only mastered it to the Master Level, hence it could only deliver thirty-six strikes.
Despite that, the barrage of explosive fist power quickly cracked the Evil Power Shield, while the three surrounding Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves were instantly shattered into bone fragments upon impact!
After a moment of resistance, the Evil Power Shield on the two Hellfires shattered. Following that, the evil power armor, comparable to a top green star device, on the Hellfires began to develop numerous cracks, breaking into pieces.
A few seconds later, the Flame Bull Demon's fist power weakened significantly.
The Flame Bull Demon panted heavily, looking ahead, but was left dumbfounded.
The two Hellfires' armor was half destroyed, but their bodies were nearly unscathed!
Su Yuan smiled unsurprisedly.
This was the fortification unit, Hellfire!
Evil Power Shield, Evil Power Armor created by Rock Tools, and the inherent talent-based terrifying defensive power.
With three layers of defense, even facing the ultimate move of a Silver Early Stage Master Star Beast, they could emerge almost unscathed.
Indeed, they had only suffered a minor injury.
The situation left the Flame Bull Demon in despair!
The two Hellfires, however, raised their Evil Power Greatswords and mercilessly slashed down!
The Flame Bull Demon tried to struggle in its final moments, but having just unleashed its ultimate move, its body was weakened, and its Star Power was depleted.
It resisted for just a moment under the greatswords before being cut down, turning into a lifeless, shattered corpse.
Su Yuan nodded, preparing to collect the Star Core and Demon Bull Horns.
At that moment, an exceptionally powerful and sharp fluctuation emanated from behind, near the cave entrance.
Su Yuan's eyes flickered as he turned to see three figures at the entrance.
One was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the other two were young men in their mid-twenties.
At that moment, one of the black-haired young men was drawing a bow aimed at Su Yuan, with a golden arrow shimmering on it. The powerful, sharp fluctuation was coming from it.
