The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2463: Contest of Minds

At this moment, the monster was surrounded by blazing red and black flames.

The flame seemed to have life, dancing freely under the monster's control. The leaping of the flame and the monster's body set off each other, making the monster's image look even more majestic and terrifying.

When the monster escaped, the only thing Matthew could do was to take the opportunity to absorb some spiritual fluid to replenish his consumed mana.

In this life-and-death battle, magic power is the key to supporting oneself to continue fighting.

He quickly took out the spiritual liquid from the storage bag and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

As the spiritual liquid entered his throat, a cool feeling instantly spread throughout his body, and his magic power, which had been almost exhausted due to the battle, was also slightly replenished.

After the monster escaped, its eyes were fixed on Matthew, and the pressure like a physical force made the surrounding space seem to solidify.

Although the monster's body was tightly isolated by the blazing and terrifying red and black flames, outsiders could not clearly see its facial expression and eyes.

However, Matthew, with his keen perception, clearly sensed the deep murderous intent in the monster's eyes towards him.

Matthew took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

His fingers moved slightly, and a wave of spiritual power spread out.

The light shield, which already had a big hole in it, collapsed and disintegrated instantly under the influence of the fluctuation of spiritual power.

At the same time, the Jiuxiao Jieyun Sword flew back into his hand like a stream of light.

"You are very good."

The moment Matthew grasped the Jiuxiao Jieyun Sword, the monster in the flames spoke.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from an ancient clay jar, with a unique dull texture.

"You are strong too."

Matthew shook the Jiuxiao Jieyun Sword in his hand slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a faint smile.

Behind this smile was the conclusion he came to after a calm analysis.

At this moment, he no longer had the worries and fears he had when he first faced the monster.

Through his own observation and perception, Matthew has already realized that although the fire released by the monster is extremely powerful and has amazing attack power, it also consumes a lot of energy from the monster itself.

After all, the monster has just awakened not long ago, and the energy contained in its body must not be too abundant.

As a result, in this fierce battle, it is difficult for the monster to maintain such a powerful fire attack for a long time.

Based on this judgment, Matthew was certain that as long as he could demonstrate enough strength in the next battle and let the monster realize that he was not an easy opponent, then the monster would not dare to fight him to the death.

After all, there is no deep hatred between the two sides, so there is no need to fight to the death for it.

However, after this battle, a grudge has been formed between them, and it will be difficult for them to be on good terms if they meet again in the future.

As soon as Matthew finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed strangely.

The aura originally emitted by a normal human cultivator, that kind of steady and restrained state, was rapidly dissipating from him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This change was not a simple weakening of the breath, but it receded as quickly as the tide, as if it had never existed.

Instead, there was an extremely violent aura.

This aura was like an ancient ferocious beast about to awaken from its slumber, and it quickly spread in the surrounding air with a terrifying pressure.

Every breath seemed to contain endless power. Under the pressure of this breath, the surrounding rocks were faintly trembling, as if they could not bear the weight.

Even the monster wrapped in flames, when it sensed the breath released from Matthew, the pupils in its originally calm eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly.

This subtle change was enough to show that the change in Matthew's aura at this moment had already aroused the monster's high alert and attention.

As time went on, Matthew's aura became more and more solemn.

The violent aura was like a substance, forming an invisible pressure field around him.

At the same time, his body was gradually enveloped by a ball of golden light.

The golden light was like liquid gold, emitting a soft yet dazzling light, completely enveloping Matthew's body.

When the golden light appeared, the already violent and violent aura became even more dignified.

Every fluctuation of the breath seemed to carry an overwhelming force, and the surrounding air was squeezed by this force, making a hissing sound.

"Boy, I have other things to do, so I won't waste my time with you here. Next time I see you, I will personally refine you into a blood slave!"

Just when Matthew's aura was about to burst out completely, the monster suddenly spoke again.

Its voice seemed particularly low in this solemn atmosphere.

When it said this, the flames that were originally burning blazingly on its body suddenly rushed towards the top of the cave as if it had received some kind of command.

The temperature of the flame was extremely high. Wherever the flame reached, the hard and thick rocks, the moment they came into contact with the flame, quickly turned into boiling magma, just like paper burned by fire, and slowly flowed down from the top of the cave.

The magma dripped onto the ground, splashing small sparks and making a "sizzling" sound.

The monster itself used the momentum of the flames to fly into the air.

Its body looked particularly huge against the backdrop of the flames, like a demon from hell.

The monster left the place directly through the big hole that had been burned above.

As it moved away, a layer of flames surrounded its body, illuminating the surrounding space red.

During the entire process of the monster leaving, Matthew did not make any attempt to stop it.

In fact, both sides knew in their hearts that the current situation was no longer suitable for further action.

This is not because of fear of each other, but based on a clear judgment of each other's strength and the situation.

If the fight continues, both sides may pay a greater price, and there is no need to continue this fight.

After the monster left, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had temporarily gotten rid of this powerful enemy, but he did not dare to relax at all.

The golden light on his body had not yet dissipated, and he felt a little worried.

He didn't know whether the monster had really left or was pretending to leave and then looking for an opportunity to attack again.

Matthew carefully observed the surrounding environment, especially the exit of the cave.

Until safety is fully ensured, any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Matthew's nerves were always tense.

Only after the light curtain blocking the cave exit completely disappeared did Matthew's anxious heart relax a little.

However, he did not immediately lift his defensive state.

It was not until some time had passed and Matthew was sure that there were no more unusual circumstances around him that he finally felt relieved.

This time, he did not delay any longer and took the Man-Xiao King away from this place as quickly as possible.

The Man-God King was also affected in the previous battle, although he looked fine on the outside.
