Chapter 324: Unmatched Skill on Display

Wu Shuang let out a disdainful sneer. "So what? Even if you were made kings of the world, what then? Ambition and desire expand infinitely. Sometimes, people shouldn't gain too much truth or be too goal-oriented. Perhaps living in a dream is also a form of happiness..."

Wu Shuang's words sounded more like a self-reflection. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the people before her, the girl seemed to suddenly understand Xu Yang's persistence.

"I don't know what kind of power gave you the confidence to cause trouble. If you choose to leave now, you can continue to live as comfortably as before. Of course, you can also choose to ignore my warning and insist on trying your luck. But if you do that, your end will be miserable."

Wu Shuang took a small step forward. Her aura was so faint it was almost imperceptible. She was afraid her aura would distract Xu Yang and affect his judgment. Yet, at this moment, it became a source of confidence for the Dangyang clan members before her.

"Ha, you're not even a proper martial artist. Your aura is so weak. In my opinion, if you weren't clinging to that Ah Yang's leg, someone like you wouldn't even make it into this Barren Poison Forest, right? Hahahaha!"

Dozens of Dangyang clan powerhouses mocked her brazenly. However, Wu Shuang gave them no response at all. She continued to walk calmly forward, unhurried.

"Attack! Don't kill this woman; just cripple her mobility. I want her to watch me seize the Fire Seed, kill her companion, and then conquer her!"

The clan leader did not expect that uttering these words would mark the peak of his life.

Because throughout the entire Divine Kingdom, perhaps no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of Wu Shuang.

These pitiful fools proved with their actions what it meant to be fearless in ignorance.

RUMBLE!

Powerful ancient spells vibrated, seemingly in an instant, causing the entire volcanic crater area to shake violently!

The magma temperature inside the crater rapidly soared, and immense heatwaves rolled outwards.

Oddly enough, the moment these surging waves touched Wu Shuang's body, they were like an angry wave crashing into the ocean, naturally dissolving. As a result, at Xu Yang's location behind Wu Shuang, not even the slightest ripple of an aura was detected. Even a powerful figure like Xu Yang didn't notice any abnormality of external intrusion at that moment!

"What! How is this possible? This woman is actually immune to the power of ancient spells?"

The clan leader was completely terrified.

Because according to his judgment, Xu Yang should have been the strongest among this group. He never dreamed that his meticulously planned scheme would be completely shattered by the variable known as Wu Shuang.

"I never expected you, a mere bodyguard, to have such an impressive background! Tell me, who exactly are you!"

Wu Shuang smiled, her amusement sounding like she was toying with all living beings. Her voice remained incredibly beautiful.

"Someone like you isn't worthy of knowing my name."

She gently raised her hand. A silent ripple of divine power spread out. The dozens of powerhouses of this lineage before her, including the Dangyang clan leader, were completely frozen in place, unable to move even a muscle!

Little did they know, the power Wu Shuang wielded seemed beyond definition or description as pure divine power. It was more like a domain, and she was the sole ruler within this domain, a true god commanding all!

"Aren't you all eager for the power of the Fire Seed? I will grant you your wish now, and ensure you leave this world without regrets."

Wu Shuang gently tapped her finger. From the volcanic crater behind her, a fire serpent tens of meters long slowly rose. It quickly took shape under Wu Shuang's power, spewing unrestrained fiery flames towards the dozens of people.

"No!! Goddess, please, spare us this time! We were blind and ignorant! We beg you!"

The clan leader was on the verge of tears. He never dreamed that the bodyguard beside Xu Yang, the leader, was actually the true master who would bring them despair.

"I believe I already gave you a chance. Why are people always like this, only regretting after despair? Sadly, in even the most perfect world, there is no such thing as regret. You have no more chances."

She gently closed her beautiful eyes. The faint smile on Wu Shuang's face remained. But the moment the fire serpent descended from the air, all dozens of people were completely engulfed.

The inherent magma heat of the fire serpent engulfed all dozens of these heinous individuals, making them suffer the agony of being burned alive without even a chance to struggle. They stood alive in place, incinerated into ashes.

This scene was clearly witnessed by Ling Yao, who had just finished slaying the captive beasts and rushed back.

She also didn't expect that Wu Shuang, this so-called female warrior sent by the palace to protect Viscount Ah Yang, was so incredibly powerful that it was suffocating.

Ling Yao was no fool. As one of the royal staff, she had long felt an inexplicable familiarity with Wu Shuang's aura. And upon seeing this scene, she could no longer deceive herself: this mysterious woman named Wu Shuang was most likely the Eldest Princess herself!

However, Ling Yao was smart; she did not expose her directly.

For one, she held no ill will towards Xu Yang; in fact, everything she did was to protect him.

Secondly, Ling Yao still considered herself a servant of the royal family. The Eldest Princess choosing to leave the palace incognito was not something she had the right to interfere with. Perhaps continuing to interact normally was the best choice for both parties.

Ling Yao also knew that without Wu Shuang present, if she were guarding them alone, Xu Yang and Ling Qingshu would likely be in danger at this moment.

"How are things on your end? A group of masked individuals just suddenly broke in and killed those Shepherd God clan warriors..."

Wu Shuang chuckled: "Fortunately, you sent the signal in time. I was prepared, set up illusions, and lured those fellows into the volcano. The crisis has been resolved."

Almost simultaneously, people inside the vehicle high above the void began to appear.

Originally, to avoid the aura of the Barren Poison Forest, they had chosen to move to a high-altitude area. They decided to come down and see only after hearing the violent rampage of the fire serpent's power.

Before they could safely land, Ling Qingshu and Xu Yang simultaneously awakened.

RUMBLE!!

Powerful heatwaves blasted outwards. Ling Qingshu sat cross-legged in the void. The mystic fire light unique to the Fire Seed around her became incredibly brilliant. The endless flames of the entire volcanic crater seemed to calm down after touching the mystic fire power emanating from her body.

"This Mystic Fire Seed should be the true source of fire for this volcano. Now that the Fire Seed has been absorbed by that girl, the power within the volcano has lost its source. It should soon become dormant, with no possibility of erupting again."

"That's right! It looks like they have succeeded. The Boss truly lives up to his name. To enable someone who hasn't truly cultivated divine power to absorb such a terrifying Fire Seed... If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been incinerated into ashes by now!"
