Still Unaware of the Timing

Charging forward, he pulled Mu Yuyan into his arms.

In that brief moment, the auras of the Lava Clan powerhouses surged forth.

Ten thousand streaks of firelight burst across the sky, crashing down instantly.

Gu Lan saw it, but it was too late.

With no room to retreat, he was engulfed by the flames in an instant.

This aura was no ordinary force, and Gu Lan was utterly unprepared.

Soon, a look of pain spread across his face.

Yet even so, Gu Lan didn't move.

He shielded Mu Yuyan tightly in his embrace, pouring true qi into her relentlessly.

But all Gu Lan did was in vain—Mu Yuyan's soul was already gone.

Under the onslaught of firelight, Gu Lan barely managed to stand upright.

At that moment, Chi Yang arrived, gripping his golden spear.

His speed was astonishing, holding nothing back.

But just as the spear was about to pierce Gu Lan, he thrust his hand up sharply.

"Boom!"

The blow landed, and Chi Yang was flung back thousands of zhang.
