Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan and his three companions had just passed through the blazing fire trial area. Their clothes had not yet fully recovered from the high temperature, and the air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder after the flames were extinguished. They were walking on a narrow mountain path, surrounded by steep rocks. The sunset in the distance had faded, and the valley was gradually shrouded in the night, appearing quiet and eerie.

"It's finally over. This fire is really difficult to deal with." Zhong Ling'er gently stroked her forehead which was wet with sweat, with a hint of relief in her tone.

"Don't be careless," Lin Fan raised his hand slightly to stop her from relaxing, "This is more than just a trial of fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan's brows furrowed suddenly, and a glimmer of alertness flashed in his eyes. He sensed an extremely subtle but disturbing aura, like a murderous intent hidden in the dark, quietly approaching.

Jin Buke was sensitive. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes sharp. "There is an ambush." ​​His voice was low but resolute.

"Lin Fan, what's going on?" Jiang Shuiling also quickly entered combat mode, with a faint chill surging in the palms of her hands, ready to attack at any time.

Lin Fan did not answer immediately, but raised his hand gently, and his fingertips drew an invisible Qi in the air. The Qi spread out, as if it had touched some hidden power.

"They are hiding on the mountain roads on both sides." Lin Fan's tone was calm, but the sharpness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Before he finished speaking, a flash of red light suddenly appeared on the rock walls on both sides of the mountain path. Then, dozens of monks in red armor appeared from the rock walls. They held flaming swords or staffs in their hands, and were surrounded by blazing fire, like war gods in flames.

"They are Chi Yan's followers." Jiang Shuiling whispered, his cold eyes falling on those fire monks.

These cultivators were not low in cultivation, and each of them had an extremely strong aura. They were obviously the elite fire cultivators under Chi Yan, responsible for guarding this important road. They silently surrounded Lin Fan and his party, and dense murderous intent gradually condensed in the air, as if even the air was distorted by the oppressive feeling of the flames.

The leading flame monk sneered and raised the flame spear in his hand, "How dare you trespass into Chiyan Pass without permission? You are courting death!"

"It seems that the Fire Trial is just their first step. The real ambush is here." Jin Buk sneered, fearless, unsheathed his sword, and pointed it directly at the enemy, "Just what I want!"

Lin Fan knew that he could not hesitate any longer. The enemy had already set up a killing trap. If he did not act decisively, he would be in a more dangerous situation. He said in a deep voice: "Don't let them hold you back. Break through as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire monks no longer gave them a chance to breathe. They suddenly thrust their flaming spears down, and the flames rose as the spears were swung, as if a sea of ​​fire was pressing towards Lin Fan and the others, trying to trap them in this narrow mountain path.

"They want to trap us here with fire!" Zhong Ling'er's eyes widened, and she quickly raised her staff. The water spells in her hand quickly gathered and turned into a water curtain to block the front. However, although she suppressed some of the flames, the enemy's attack was too fierce, and the water curtain was quickly torn apart by the flames.

Jin Buke rushed forward without hesitation, his long sword unsheathed, the sword light like a dragon. His sword skills were precise and sharp, and he slashed at the attack of the flame monk head-on. Each sword was filled with powerful true energy, and the sword energy was overflowing, and the flames were cut one after another under his sword.

"Hmph, you think you can trap us with just this little firepower?" Disdain flashed in Jin Buke's eyes. His sword was as powerful as a rainbow, slashing quickly towards the enemy's line.

However, Chi Yan's followers were no ordinary people. When they saw Jin Buke coming with great force, some of them immediately raised their staffs and chanted spells in a low voice. In an instant, a huge wall of fire rose in the air, blocking Jin Buke's attack.

The flame monks cooperated very well and arranged their battle formations tightly. Whenever Jin Buke broke through a line of defense, the monks on the other side would immediately fill in the gap, waving their flame spears densely like rain, blocking their way forward.

"These people are fighting in such a tight formation, it won't be so easy to break through!" Jiang Shuiling frowned, frost condensed in his palm, and then he waved his hand, and the cold air came down like a flood, trying to freeze the offensive of the fire monks.

But the flames collided with the frost, the fire spread rapidly, and the frost was quickly evaporated. The enemy's flames seemed to be far more powerful than they had imagined, controlling almost endless firepower, as if even the air was burning.

"Damn it! If this goes on we will be exhausted to death here!" Zhong Ling'er said anxiously. Although her water magic could suppress the flames for a short time, she was no longer able to cope with such intensive attacks.

Lin Fan observed the situation calmly. He knew that the current offensive alone would not be able to break through the enemy's encirclement. The flame monks were not only powerful, but also had a very sophisticated battle formation. If they could not quickly disrupt their formation, the situation would become even more unfavorable.

"Ling'er, use water spells to suppress the flames. Jiang Shuiling, use ice to block their steps! Jin Buke, find a chance to break through from the flank!" Lin Fan gave the order quickly. He had found the key to breaking the formation.

Zhong Ling'er nodded. Although her body was already covered in sweat, she still clenched her teeth and cast a water spell. The water flowed in the air into a rushing river, sweeping towards the flame monks, instantly suppressing their flame offensive.

At the same time, Jiang Shuiling waved her hands, and frost spread from her fingertips, freezing the ground under the enemy's feet. The fire monks were caught off guard, their steps suddenly stagnated, and the formation became a little chaotic.

"The opportunity has come!" Jin Buke's eyes lit up, and his long sword flew out across the sky. The sword light flashed like a galaxy, and in an instant he broke through the enemy's defense line. He was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the enemy's formation, and the formation of the flame monks was finally disrupted.

Lin Fan followed closely behind, and the Qiankun Axe swept across with terrifying true energy, and a green axe shadow chopped towards the enemy's core. The defense of the flame monks was instantly broken, and several monks were directly blown away, and blood was spilled in the air.

"Retreat!" The leading flame monk shouted loudly when he saw the situation was not good. Although they were fearless, facing the powerful attacks of Lin Fan and Jin Buke, they finally realized that if they continued to fight, they would only be wiped out.

The remaining fire monks retreated quickly. They shuttled through the mountain paths like fire ghosts and disappeared into the darkness in a moment.

"It's finally solved." Zhong Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, holding on to the staff, looking a little tired.

"These guys are not easy to deal with." Jin Buke snorted coldly and retracted his sword, his eyes still full of vigilance, "Their tactics are very targeted. If it weren't for Lin Fan's proper command, I'm afraid we would be in a stalemate."

Lin Fan did not relax his vigilance. He looked at the enemy figures gradually disappearing into the darkness in the distance with a serious expression, "They retreated too quickly. I'm afraid there will be more than one ambush."

Jiang Shuiling nodded, frowning slightly, "Chi Yan will not let us go so easily. This is just a test, the real killer move may be yet to come."
