"What are you two doing? Hurry up and take away." Zhang Xu, having narrowly escaped death and gasping for breath, said to his two subordinates rushing them.
Zhang Xu and his companion hesitated for a mont, then approached Deputy Team Leader Wang.
"Deputy Team Leader Wang, we can't just leave now, that monster is extrely dangerous. If we leave, Instructor Ding will have to face the Yuan Beast alone," Zhang Xu said from the side.
"Are you two idiots? What's more important, my life or that Instructor Ding's life? What you two need to do now is to protect and prevent from getting injured. Otherwise, I'll make sure you two regret it!" Deputy Team Leader Wang exclaid to his subordinates.
Zhang Xu's companion hesitated for a mont, then went over and helped Deputy Team Leader Wang up.
"Zhang Xu, follow the orders. Deputy Team Leader Wang is in charge here," Zhang Xu's companion said.
"Deputy Team Leader Wang, Instructor Ding fought that monster to save us. If we just leave him behind now... That would be utterly disgraceful," Zhang Xu said.
"Xiao Liu, don't listen to him, help get back," Deputy Team Leader Wang said to his retainer beside him. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xu again.
"Zhang Xu, if you die here, our business is over. However, if you survive and return, I will definitely not overlook today's disobedience during battle," Deputy Team Leader Wang coldly said to Zhang Xu.
At this ti, Zhang Xu no longer paid attention to Deputy Team Leader Wang's words; he directly looked towards Ding Fan inside the arena.
Deputy Team Leader Wang had his chest injured by the Yuan Beast, and it had scared him so much that he truly didn't want to spend another second here.
"Go... Get going now!" Deputy Team Leader Wang ordered Xiao Liu at his side.
Xiao Liu dared not disobey the command and imdiately assisted Deputy Team Leader Wang to leave. anwhile, Zhang Xu never once glanced at them as they left.
...
On the arena, Ding Fan was feeling extrely restricted at the mont.
The space was small to begin with, and using powerful True Qi to strike would surely cause the building to collapse under the pressure of his force.
That would be disastrous for everyone outside.
But to just withstand it was also not an option, as the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast was very cunning, skillfully dodging Ding Fan's several attempts at a killing blow.
Just as Ding Fan was considering how to kill the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast, he received a ssage in his Divine Sense.
"Release the Heavenly Fla."
Ding Fan was startled, but he quickly realized that it was Duorou communicating with him through Telekinesis.
After processing Duorou's ssage, Ding Fan understood.
The reason the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast was so combat-effective was that it was constantly absorbing the power within the surrounding flas during the fight.
The Crimson Fla Spirit Beast drew its strength from fire, which is why it kept spewing flas, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire.
Releasing the Heavenly Fla, although the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast was a Yuan Beast, it could not withstand the Heavenly Fla, the most wondrous fire between heaven and earth.
Even a small bit of the Heavenly Fla energy absorbed would be unbearable for the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast.
Without delay, Ding Fan released a cluster of the Heavenly Fla.
The flas Ding Fan released were extrely fierce, and very quickly, the steel-reinforced concrete floor was starting to lt.
This also showed just how formidable the Heavenly Fla truly was.
Zhang Xu, who was covering for Ding Fan nearby, was stunned; he didn't understand why Ding Fan would start a fire at such a mont. Trapped in a sea of fire, they were already severely constrained, and starting another fire would only make the situation even worse, wouldn't it?
But at that mont, sothing unbelievable happened to Zhang Xu.
The Crimson Fla Spirit Beast also noticed the fireball that Ding Fan had thrown, and it seed to sense the might of the Heavenly Fla and rushed towards it.
Wanting to bathe in such a powerful force of flas, the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast ran over and swallowed the whole Heavenly Fla that Ding Fan had released.
After swallowing it, the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast went crazy, running around and knocking down several walls in the process.
In the end, the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast's body collapsed and lay on the ground motionless.
Zhang Xu could hardly believe his eyes; such a formidable Crimson Fla Spirit Beast... just died like that...
Ding Fan naturally knew that the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast could not withstand the Heavenly Fla and was killed by it.
Perhaps until its very end, the beast, which delighted in fire all its life, never expected to die by fire.
As soon as the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast breathed its last, two shadows shot out from Ding Fan.
The two shadows circled around the dead Crimson Fla Spirit Beast non-stop after reaching it.
Who else could those two shadows be but Duorou and Zizi?
Ding Fan naturally knew the purpose of these two Spiritual Pets coming out - the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast had already beco sentient; the Demon Core was ford. At this ti, consuming the Demon Core would greatly aid the cultivation of the two Spiritual Pets.
Only that the hide of the Crimson Fla Behemoth was so tough that the little spirit pets were unsure how to proceed.
Ding Fan, at this mont, walked over and with a swing of his right hand wielding Nine Profound Iron, he had instantly broken open the chest of the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast. The two Spiritual Pets imdiately took out the Demon Core and shared it, each consuming half.
After consuming it, the two Spiritual Pets returned to Ding Fan's Small World to refine the Demon Core.
The Demon Core of the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast was incredibly rare; even within the Cultivation World, it was considered a treasured existence. Now that the two Spiritual Pets had ingested the Demon Core, it seed they were certain to advance by leaps and bounds.
Zhang Xu, who was standing by, displayed no surprise at the sight of the Spiritual Pets. In the world of Ancient Martial Arts, many people did keep Spiritual Pets.
However, due to limited resources, many were unable to afford private ownership of Spiritual Pets, and those who could usually only kept one. It was quite rare to see soone like Ding Fan who kept two Spiritual Pets at the sa ti.
Ding Fan didn't pay attention to the Spiritual Pets for now, as he walked up to the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast. What was surprising was the collar around the beast's neck, which seed to have so sort of Formation on it.
Without much ti to think, Ding Fan imdiately collected the collar into his storage ring.
Ding Fan then consecutively threw out several large water orbs.
After the water orbs made their way over, the fire on the fifth floor was extinguished in no ti.
Upon scanning with his Divine Sense, Ding Fan had discovered a few more lucky survivors. He and Zhang Xu were then busy putting out the fire and rescuing people...
...
By now, outside the building, there were already many people watching the scene, and the sound of fire engines could be heard incessantly.
"Are you all pigs? I'm the Deputy Team Leader of Squad 3567. There's a monster inside. Imdiately order your troops to evacuate the crowd, then mobilize the armored vehicles..."
At this mont, Deputy Team Leader Wang, wrapped in bandages, was gesticulating at a colonel, issuing orders.
"Deputy Team Leader Wang, no matter what kind of monster is inside, if we bring in the armored vehicles and helicopters now, it will inevitably cause panic. Moreover, there should still be people alive inside the building. Starting a firefight now will surely cause unnecessary casualties," said the colonel earnestly.
"Are you stupid? There's a monster inside. If we don't kill it, everyone here is going to die!" Deputy Team Leader Wang slamd his hand on the table as he spoke.
The colonel's eyebrows knitted tightly together, obviously at a loss as to how to resolve the current situation.
"If you mobilize the troops now, just bring in the armored vehicles and helicopters, I guarantee that within a week, you'll be promoted to a full Colonel."
The colonel's brow furrowed even more deeply at this.
No matter who you are, promotion and wealth are everyone's weaknesses.
"Fine. I'll arrange it right now!" The colonel seed to have made up his mind.
Deputy Team Leader Wang nodded in satisfaction. "Isn't this much better?"
The colonel promptly took out his phone. "I order now, deploy the armored vehicles and hurry to the city center."
Deputy Team Leader Wang looked at the burning building, seemingly lost in thought. "It's best if it's blown to smithereens... otherwise, I'm really dood this ti..."
Just then, the crowd once again erupted into a clamor.
Deputy Team Leader Wang imdiately stood up, looking towards the fiery building.
"What's going on?" Deputy Team Leader Wang asked Xiao Liu at his side.
"Deputy Leader, Instructor Ding and Zhang Xu have co out from the sea of flas. They even rescued a lot of people..." Xiao Liu reported.
"What?" Deputy Team Leader Wang's brow furrowed instantly.
At this mont, Deputy Team Leader Wang felt increasingly agitated.
Others might not be aware of what was going on inside, but Deputy Team Leader Wang knew all too well.
First, there was the question of why the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast appeared here in the first place. In fact, one of the Hidden Sects had sold a Spiritual Beast to the central authorities. That beast was the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast.
The main reason the central authorities purchased this Spiritual Beast was for research purposes...
Deputy Team Leader Wang was in charge of this escort mission.
Early on, Deputy Team Leader Wang had heard that the Demon Core of the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast was highly beneficial for Cultivation. So even said that re consumption of the Demon Core could elevate one's cultivation from Human Level to Earth Level!
Back in the day, with a single Second Grade Earth Level Martial Artist, the Ye Family had firmly secured their position among the Four Great Families. At this mont, Deputy Team Leader Wang also harbored this dream. Thus, he planned to kill the Spiritual Beast in secret and then consu its Demon Core.
As for fear of bearing responsibility, Deputy Team Leader Wang was not afraid at all. Firstly, because he had connections higher up, and secondly, by then he expected to be an Earth Level Martial Artist himself, striding unchallengeable across the world, with no one able to stand in his way...
However, as soon as Deputy Team Leader Wang released the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast, he regretted it.
When the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast was confined, it appeared ta, but once the Prohibition was lifted, it imdiately went berserk. This was why the entire building caught fire—the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast had breathed fire and ignited it.
What was even more dire was that in order to subdue the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast, Deputy Team Leader Wang had placed a collared necklace on its neck. He had spent a great deal of money to acquire the collar from the black market, which had a Formation on it that was claid to control the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast.
Now, Deputy Team Leader Wang wished nothing more than to promptly summon tanks to blast the Crimson Fla Behemoth to dust, thus, the matter with the collar he had placed on the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast's neck could be glossed over. As long as that artifact was gone, he could easily find an excuse to evade responsibility.
But just as Deputy Team Leader Wang was arranging for the tanks, Ding Fan and Zhang Xu were leading survivors out from the building.
Earlier on, Ding Fan and Zhang Xu were still fiercely battling the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast. Now, the fact that they erged with the survivors could only an they had killed the Crimson Fla Spirit Beast.
Deputy Team Leader Wang furrowed his brows tightly; he couldn't let anyone know about that collar...
