I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

In the blink of an eye, the two had rushed to the giant cocoon.

Upon closer inspection, the eeriness of the tentacles becomes even more apparent. They writhe like living creatures, tightly enveloping the humanoid figure inside and constantly drawing upon its meager life force and spiritual energy.

"Cut it open!"

Jizhou shouted, pressing his hands against the wind wall and pouring his last bit of power into it. The cyan wind wall suddenly expanded outward, temporarily pushing back the surging tentacles a short distance, but it was on the verge of collapse.

Without hesitation, Ye Chuhan gathered highly compressed wind spirit power on his short blade, transforming it into an incomparably sharp azure light, and fiercely slashed at the entangled tentacles!

"Hey!"

Like tearing apart tattered leather, the tightly packed tentacles were ripped open, revealing a pale-faced, barely breathing disciple of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect!

Almost the instant the cocoon was broken, the pulse of the dark red crystal suddenly stopped, and then became even more violent!

Clearly, the loss of food enraged it; all the surrounding tentacles hissed like an enraged swarm of bees, intensifying its attack!

"The wind barrier is about to collapse!" Ji Zhou's face turned pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Maintaining the wind barrier was far more exhausting than he had imagined.

"Wake him up! Quick!" Ji Zhou shouted at Ye Chuhan, then turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing with determination as he faced the surging tide of tentacles.

He abandoned his defenses, rapidly waving his hands in front of his chest, unleashing all the remaining wind-elemental spiritual power within his body without reservation!

"Swift wind, thousand birds!"

This time, Jizhou did not coalesce into a single powerful wind beast, but rather hundreds or thousands of palm-sized wind spirit sparrows, like a flock of birds startled into flight, emitting dense whooshing sounds as they fearlessly met the black tentacles surging from all directions!

Each Wind Spirit Sparrow contains a trace of pure spiritual power from Jizhou. They nimbly dart about, actively collide with, and even burrow into the tentacles before suddenly bursting open!

Although the power of a single Wind Tiger was far less than that of a single Wind Tiger, their sheer number created countless tiny holes in the black tide, like countless pebbles thrown into a raging torrent. While they could not stop the torrent, they greatly disrupted its rhythm and offensive!

This was the result of Ji Zhou exerting his control to the extreme under extreme conditions, and it was also the last bit of time he bought for Ye Chuhan!

Ye Chuhan understood that every second counted at this moment, so he generously took out a bright green pill that exuded a rich vitality and put it into the mouth of the unconscious Qingcheng Yufa Sect disciple.

At the same time, a palm was placed on his back, and pure wind spirit power was gently injected to protect his heart meridian and promote the medicinal effect.

"Brother, wake up!" he cried anxiously.

The disciple's body trembled violently, and he coughed intensely before slowly regaining consciousness.

When he opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar Ye Chuhan in front of him, and then saw the hellish scene around him and Jizhou struggling to block the tentacles, his eyes were first filled with confusion, and then turned into extreme fear.

"Calm down if you don't want to die!" Ye Chuhan immediately hissed, covering his mouth tightly. "If you want to live, tell us how much you knew about this thing? Where is the weakness of that crystal?!"

The disciple was intimidated by Ye Chuhan's imposing aura, and seeing Ji Zhou's almost desperate cover, his will to survive overwhelmed everything. His voice trembled as he spoke rapidly and incoherently.

“The crystal… it fears pure flames… or… or extremely powerful destructive energy… We tried using our own flames to defend against it, but it wasn’t enough… It… it can absorb and transform spiritual energy… Ordinary attacks are useless…”

Pure flames? Extremely powerful destructive energy?

A sudden thought flashed through Ye Chuhan's mind, and she looked sharply at Jizhou.

Jizhou also heard this. While controlling the constantly exploding Wind Spirit Sparrow to slow down the attack, he turned around and his eyes met Ye Chuhan's in the air.

They both saw the same word in each other's eyes.

Wind and fire are mutually reinforcing!

It just so happens that the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect cultivates the fire element!

Ye Chuhan quickly asked the disciple, "Do you still have the strength to use your spiritual power?"

Unfortunately, the disciple shook his head, "No...no more...I can't muster any strength anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhou, while fighting off the enemy, said to Ye Chuhan, "Don't ask him, it's useless. I previously entered the Burning Heaven Secret Realm with Brother Ming and obtained the power of the Earth Fire Red Lotus and the original power of the Golden Flame Fruit. I can use fire!"

Ye Chuhan instantly understood: "You use fire, I'll use wind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped running forward, as if he remembered something. He reached into his storage ring and instantly threw out a treasure.

"Hey, let's use this great treasure to unleash the full power of our combined strength!"

The moment the treasure appeared, it emitted an astonishing surge of spiritual energy.

It was a palm-sized, ancient-style bronze wheel, with a red and a blue pearl inlaid in the center. At this moment, they were shining brightly and exuding two completely different auras: heat and lightness!

"Wind and Fire Wheels!" Ye Chuhan shouted triumphantly.

This is a famous auxiliary magic weapon of Qingfeng Yumen, which can greatly amplify and harmonize the spiritual power of wind and fire attributes, so that they complement each other and unleash a power far exceeding that of simple superposition!

"That's right! Hurry!"

Ye Chuhan tossed the Wind and Fire Wheels into the air, formed hand seals, and poured his pure wind-elemental spiritual power into the cyan pearl without reservation.

"I'll ride the wind to pave the way for you and amplify your power!"

In an instant, the Wind and Fire Wheels shone brightly with azure light and began to spin rapidly. A highly condensed azure wind column surged out from the wheel, not as an attacking tentacle, but like a tamed azure dragon, coiling around Jizhou's body!

Ji Zhou felt a sudden lightness all over his body, and his perception and control over the wind elemental energy in the world instantly increased by several levels!

Not only that, the wind column continued to compress and condense in front of him, forming a spiraling, drill-like wind channel that forcibly pushed aside and shredded wherever it passed!

"Quickly, make your move!" Veins bulged on Ye Chuhan's forehead; maintaining the Wind and Fire Wheels and such a powerful wind channel was taking a heavy toll on him.

Jizhou understood immediately and no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, drawing upon the power of the Earth Fire Red Lotus and the essence of the Golden Flame Fruit hidden deep within his dantian!

"Buzz!"

A crimson flame rose from his body, not the usual orange-red, but with a domineering and majestic power that could burn everything in its path!

The flames gathered and compressed in his palm, eventually transforming into a slowly rotating, exquisite yet dangerous crimson-gold fire lotus!

At the center of the fire lotus, a point of platinum light flickers, a manifestation of extreme high temperature!

"go with!"

With a flick of his finger, Ji Zhou sent the crimson-gold fire lotus shooting out along the wind passage opened up by Ye Chuhan!

The wind helps the fire!

With the support of the Wind and Fire Wheels and Ye Chuhan's exquisite wind spirit power, the Crimson Gold Fire Lotus grew rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into a Crimson Gold Fire Tornado that stretched across the cave!

The fire tornado roared, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

Wherever it passed, those eerie black tentacles seemed to have encountered their nemesis, emitting a "sizzling" wail, instantly charring and carbonizing, and then turning into ashes!

Even the chilling, predatory aura in the air was forcibly dispelled and purified by this extremely yang and powerful flame!
