The trollish-looking Great Demonic Flame Warrior clearly sensed the power of the Silent Domain, but as it was about to retreat, Wu Yao's illusory whip lashed out, striking the Great Demonic Flame Warrior squarely on the head.

"Hiss..." The Great Demonic Flame Warrior opened its bloody maw, wailing in pain. Having been whipped back into the alternate dimension of the Flame Tribunal, it scrambled backward in a panic.

Its flustered demeanor was quite unbecoming of its platinum rank, as if it had suffered some kind of mental trauma.

Jiang Xiao had a sense of déjà vu. That's right, Zhou Cang!

Jiang Xiao had seen this kind of Star Technique before, at the North River League. Zhou Cang, the "King of Pretense" from Qi City, had relied on a rare silver-ranked Star Technique called *Soul Strangulation* to break into the finals.

This was a Star Technique from a fourth-tier Star Descendant of the Great Mongolia Province. The "fourth-tier" designation represented the level of danger beneath the starry sky, making the Star Bead's preciousness self-evident.

But the illusory whip that Wu Yao wielded was even more terrifying than the one Zhou Cang had used. This whip was even lined with illusory barbs.

Wu Yao was from the Great Mongolia Province. Jiang Xiao speculated that this was likely the gold-ranked Star Technique *Soul Strangulation* from the Poison Ivy Flower Demon Star Bead that Zhou Cang hadn't absorbed.

Indeed, the Great Demonic Flame Warrior that had been whipped back was fleeing in a frenzy. If not for the Great Demonic Flame Enchantress beside it, the Great Demonic Flame Warrior might have really run far away, and Wu Yao would have truly scored a victory.

Unfortunately, another enormous figure within the Flame Tribunal suddenly seized the Great Demonic Flame Warrior's shoulder with a massive claw, even pulling it into its embrace, offering constant reassurance.

If this were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, the scene would be quite lovely.

But this was a pair of ugly monsters, each over two and a half meters tall, covered in flames and sharp barbs.

Truth be told, although they were ugly and their appearance was bizarre, their figures were absolutely top-notch, with powerful bodies and muscular thighs... It wasn't hard to imagine how fierce their close-combat abilities would be.

Platinum Rank Great Demonic Flame Warrior!

Platinum Rank Great Demonic Flame Enchantress!

They generally appeared in pairs and were the most intelligent creatures in the Flame Tribunal.

They didn't hunt their own kind, only targeting Great Demonic Flame Masters and Great Demonic Flame Blends. And under special circumstances, the Flame Warrior and Flame Enchantress might join other similar "couples" to hunt together.

If Jiang Xiao saw this scene, he would probably get goosebumps all over. Could these two really embrace each other?

The sharp barbs on their bodies were piercing into each other's dark red flesh...

After a long while, the Great Demonic Flame Warrior's trembling body finally stabilized, and it couldn't help but roar in anger.

The barbs on its dark red skin suddenly grew longer, clearly indicating that it was on the verge of an angry outburst.

"Hiss..." Suddenly, a thick whip of flame appeared in the Great Demonic Flame Enchantress's right claw, and it roared something at the Great Demonic Flame Warrior.

The Great Demonic Flame Warrior's dark red face, covered in barbs, abruptly turned towards the layered spatial gate. Then, a similar thick whip of flame appeared in its left claw.

The two barbed claws grasped each other tightly, the sharp barbs piercing into each other's flesh, but the two ugly creatures didn't seem to care.

The thick whips of flame that they each wielded rapidly merged together on the ground. Originally only as thick as ordinary mineral water bottles, the intertwined whips of flame suddenly blazed fiercely!

In just a moment, the intertwined, burning whips of flame grew to the size of mineral water buckets.

The two ugly creatures roared, no longer merely "holding" the flame whip, because their claws, even their arms, were engulfed by the massive flame whip.

The two ugly creatures joined hands and swung their sturdy arms, lashing out with the massive flame whip, violently striking back and forth.

Great Demonic Flame Warrior, Great Demonic Flame Enchantress, Second Star Technique: Flamefire Whip (Silver Quality).

Great Demonic Flame Warrior, Fourth Star Technique: Flamefire Entwine (Platinum Quality).

Great Demonic Flame Enchantress, Fourth Star Technique: Flamefire Coil (Platinum Quality).

Flamefire Entwine (Coil): When using Flamefire Whip together with a user possessing the Flamefire Coil (Entwine) Star Technique, the quality of the Flamefire Whip Star Technique is increased by 1-2 ranks, depending on the amount of Star Power consumed and the degree of coordination between the two users.

Outside the portal, cheers erupted from the path as the Great Demonic Flame Master, its skin festering, collapsed with a crash!

This was a platinum-ranked god-level creature, fallen at the feet of the crowd.

Although it was controlled by several support personnel and decapitated by the combined efforts of more than a dozen magic-type students, it was still a feat.

Just as everyone was secretly rejoicing, an extremely thick whip of flame lashed out from the layered spatial gate!

Wu Yao's expression changed, and she swayed her body, leaping nimbly to the right. The massive flame whip, with its unparalleled force, brushed past Wu Yao.

Along this straight line, students scattered left and right, dodging the dragon-like flame whip.

The next moment, the clawing, writhing flame dragon swayed from side to side, sweeping across the area!

Wu Yao's reaction speed was incredibly fast. She immediately dropped to the ground, and as the dragon wagged its tail, all the students obediently laid down, not daring to provoke it.

No!

Someone dared!

Jiang Xiao!?

Jiang Xiao was cursing inwardly, "Dare my ass! I'm lying down too, but I'm stuck in a water balloon!"

The flame whip slammed into the water balloon, and a sizzling sound echoed. The icy water balloon began to evaporate, but not completely. The water balloon stubbornly retained its round shape and was sent flying.

In a daze, Jiang Xiao spun around and around inside the water balloon as it was launched into the air.

That wasn't a problem, since the flame whip hadn't actually struck Jiang Xiao directly. But the remaining thin layer of the water balloon conducted heat!

"Ah!" Jiang Xiao screamed. Platinum Endurance was indeed strong, preventing injury, but it didn't stop him from getting burned!

The water balloon bounced on the ground, leaping several times before crashing into a large tree.

*Poof*...

The thin water balloon finally burst open, and Jiang Xiao tumbled into the grass beneath the tree.

Several students who were relatively far back and had managed to dodge couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiao with pity.

Everyone was showing off, except for Pi, who was getting beaten up.

......

The flame dragon continued to wag its tail, flattening everything in its path. The path was already uneven, with cracks everywhere, and now, under the wild whipping of the flame whip, it was completely collapsed.

The pitiful Great Demonic Flame Master became a casualty. Silenced by Jiang Xiao until the very end and focused down by a group of Star Warriors, it was already on its last breath. However, it never expected that the fatal blow would be dealt by the Great Demonic Flame Warrior and the Great Demonic Flame Enchantress.

"This won't do. We know their characteristics. They're extremely vindictive and will never give up easily. They might even summon more of their kind to invade this place," Song Chunxi shouted. "We must go in and kill them in the shortest amount of time!"

Song Chunxi had pointed out the key issue: the pair of Demonic Trolls inside, as the most intelligent species in the Flame Tribunal, could summon their brethren to hunt together!

Once they summoned the rest of their clan, the situation would truly be out of control!

Faced with the oncoming flame whip, Han Jiangxue desperately resisted the urge to activate Shattered Space. Within that Shattered Space were very precious and rare treasures, with only a small portion belonging to her, and the majority being the supreme-quality Star Beads that Jiang Xiao had entrusted to her. Although Star Beads were generally not afraid of water or fire, Han Jiangxue was unwilling to risk it against a flame whip of this level.

Han Jiangxue relied on her Star River-level physical abilities to dodge left and right, and said, "Send me in, I'll crush them."

The scorching flames rushed towards them, and Wu Yao leapt high, dodging as she shouted, "Crush them? How? With your lightning? Do you know how strong their physical bodies are? Besides, those hard-control experts still haven't shown up. Do you want to rely on my whip to pull them in?"

Song Chunxi shouted, "We have Jiang Xiaopi! Isn't Silence strong enough? How many Star Warriors have you seen with Silence? What hard control are you looking for? Xiaopi... hey? Where's Xiaopi?"

Jiang Xiao got up from the grass and spat out a mouthful of dirt: "Uh, here."

Wu Yao gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between them: "Fine! I'll clear the way! You better protect him!"

She gathered Star Power in her left and right hands, and two illusory barbed whips coiled around her feet. She swung her long arms, and the two illusory whips were engulfed by the thick fire whip, disappearing without a trace.

It seemed... they had been annihilated by the fire whip?

Wu Yao wiped the sweat from her face, looking angry, and said, "Follow me."

"Wait!" He Xu looked anxious. Realizing that he couldn't stop Wu Yao, who was in a rage, he looked around and shouted to Jiang Xiao, "Hurry, Xiaopi, please! I'll pave the way for you!"

He Xu wasn't just a talker. He raised a water curtain with one hand and charged towards the alternate dimension, to help Wu Yao.

Jiang Xiao knew that this wasn't the time to be mischievous. The Silence Star Technique had a huge impact on this battlefield, so he hurriedly ran over.

Han Jiangxue saw this scene, but didn't stop Jiang Xiao, because she knew that among the few support personnel present, Jiang Xiao's platinum-ranked Silence outstripped everyone else and could be decisive.

Han Jiangxue flew over with her Wild Wind, believing that she also had the ability to influence the battle.

If not, then at least she would stand in front of him.

Over there, Wu Yao charged straight towards the spatial gate, her body flashing and dodging. Taking advantage of the moment when the flame whip swayed to the left, she pushed off the ground with her feet, like a swift leopard, and holding two illusory whips in her hands, she darted to the right side of the spatial gate with a "whoosh."

The next moment, the massive flame whip silently dissipated.

Everyone knew that soul damage must have worked. Was the sneak attack successful?

A few seconds later, under the admiring gazes of the crowd, the Poisonous Milk King showed unbelievable courage and魄力, plunging into the Flame Tribunal!

Silence fully activated!

Not far away,

Wu Yao was being held by the ankle by the giant Great Demonic Flame Warrior,

and was being slammed onto the ground in a venting, retaliatory manner.

Then they heard the little Poisonous Milk shout: "Cao Li Lai Lai!"

The once incredibly wild Wu Yao shield warrior,

was being slammed back and forth until she was dizzy,

muttering in agreement, "Yes, quick... quick cao ta lai lai... quick..."
