"I don't care about any orders, I only know my brother is inside, and I'm going to bring him out!" With veins popping on his face, Xiao Ruo also roared furiously at the person. The bond between Xiao Ruo and Yi Tian was hard to define, but the more unclear such feelings are, the more persistent they become when taken seriously.

"Do you want to drag so many brothers to die with you?"

"Is sacrificing my brother the only way for this?"

Neither side backed down, both shouting angrily with flushed faces. If this weren't the command center with so many people around, these two might have already started fighting. Even so, they gave off an aura of readiness to attack each other at any moment.

"Xiao Ruo, calm down," Long Feiyun, standing to the side, urged. He knew that if the argument continued, it would be bad for everyone involved.

"Calm? How can I be calm? Can't you see the Alliance people right outside? Are you just going to watch Yi Tian die at the hands of those Alliance bastards?" Xiao Ruo roared, about to rush out. However, just as he moved, the guard at the door immediately blocked his way.

In his fury, seeing someone blocking his way, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but shout, "Get out of my way." As he said that, red flames appeared on his hands, and without hesitation, he punched forward. This punch was without any restraint, and if it actually landed on the ordinary guard, there would probably be nothing left of him.

"Xiao Ruo, how dare you!" The person arguing with Xiao Ruo turned pale, a faint blue light appearing on his body. His figure flickered, charging to Xiao Ruo's side and raising his hand to block. If Xiao Ruo killed someone here, it would tear apart all decorum, and it could easily shake the troops' morale.

The sound was drowned out by the explosion, as red and blue lights erupted in the small room, followed by a wave of Qi cascading outward. The ordinary people nearby couldn't withstand such powerful Qi waves. They felt their bodies lighten and were hurled backward, crashing through makeshift curtains and out of the tent.

The makeshift tent itself was torn to shreds by the energy unleashed from their clash. Long Feiyun protected himself as he dashed out from the wreckage, followed by the flame-enshrouded Xiao Ruo and the blue-tinged figure.

"Stop it!" Long Feiyun shouted, trying to intervene in their fight. But as he approached, the two of them jointly forced him back.

"Stay out of it. If I don't teach this guy a lesson today, I might as well not be called Bai Xinyu." Bai Xinyu became more furious the more he thought about it. That Xiao Ruo dared to injure his people right under his nose, utterly disregarding him.

"Bai, don't think you can swagger just because this is your turf. If I don't beat you down today, I might as well not be called Xiao Ruo." He ripped open the already tattered fabric on his chest with both hands, revealing solid muscles adorned with red patterns that appeared, much like tattoos. The tattoo-like red patterns flowed over his body like flames, emitting a faint red glow.

As this peculiar tattoo appeared, the red glow around Xiao Ruo intensified significantly, emanating an overwhelming aura. With a low growl, he crouched down and lunged straight at Bai Xinyu.

Seeing Xiao Ruo pouncing toward him, Bai Xinyu also refused to yield and charged forward. Fire and water are incompatible; a major battle was inevitable when these two collided.

With several quick motions in front, blue light appeared around him, transforming into human-head-sized Water Balls orbiting his body. Bai Xinyu's movement technique was particularly graceful, almost like dancing, and as his hands brushed over the Water Balls, they created thin water lines. The blue light-formed water lines twisted in Bai Xinyu's hand, gradually transforming into a spear. With a low shout, Bai Xinyu shook his hand and thrust out more than a dozen times in rapid succession. Each thrust was incredibly fierce, each one blooming a spear blossom. At a glance, the spear blossoms were extraordinarily beautiful, yet extremely perilous.

Faced with the oncoming spear shadows, Xiao Ruo could only twist his body repeatedly to avoid the thrusts, following which the red light around him morphed into flames that surged and burned, transforming into tongues of fire that devoured the incoming water light.

Thud, thud, thud. Though it was a clash between water and fire, it emitted muffled sounds. Though their bodies hadn't yet come close, they'd already exchanged over a dozen blows. Dense spear shadows shattered, raining down fiery light, followed by two figures breaking through the darkness to collide with each other.

Red and blue lights crossed in the darkness, then turned back and clashed again. The scattering light particles carried residual energy. The clamor of their battle startled those in the camp, and some Power Users came rushing out of their resting tents. Seeing Xiao Ruo and Bai Xinyu entangled in battle, they exclaimed in surprise and attempted to intervene.

However, they were repelled by Xiao Ruo as soon as they approached.

"Anyone who steps forward will be my enemy." With this fierce declaration, Xiao Ruo lunged at Bai Xinyu again.

"Fire Dragon Devour." With a low growl, a dragon-shaped phantom emerged from Xiao Ruo's flames. The dragon-shaped phantom gave a silent roar upon appearing and lunged fiercely at Bai Xinyu, claws outstretched. This was not merely simulating a monster's shape with flames but a technique to refine the fire's power.

Observing Xiao Ruo use this technique, Long Feiyun's expression changed, and he shouted, "Chi Long, stop! Do you intend to kill him?" In his anxiety, Long Feiyun didn't call Xiao Ruo's name but shouted Chi Long instead, for only Chi Long would use Fire Dragon Devour.

But as soon as Long Feiyun yelled Chi Long's name, he realized he had misspoken. Sure enough, upon hearing the name, Xiao Ruo's expression changed, and he turned to look at the approaching Long Feiyun. Surprisingly, he abandoned his attack on the advancing Bai Xinyu and instead directed the dragon-shaped phantom toward Long Feiyun.

Seeing Xiao Ruo charge at him, Long Feiyun hurriedly retreated. He didn't want to be caught in the Fire Dragon Devour, as its power was too great. Even if Xiao Ruo couldn't unleash its full potency, getting hit by it would still peel a layer of skin off. As he ran, Xiao Ruo only pursued more fiercely.

The attacking Bai Xinyu hadn't expected Xiao Ruo to suddenly target Long Feiyun, leaving him stunned. Before he understood what was happening, he saw the dragon-shaped phantom brush past him. The heat from its passing alone made him feel like he was about to be roasted. If Xiao Ruo hadn't suddenly shifted his target, Bai Xinyu feared he'd suffer grave injuries from the Fire Dragon Devour.

"Xiao Ruo, stop it," Long Feiyun yelled. He didn't want to fight Xiao Ruo, even if he also had special abilities. Revealing such power in a place like this could attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. But Xiao Ruo had no such reservations.

Their sudden clash surprised most onlookers. As they witnessed the two darting chaotically through the air, they suddenly noticed flames rising from the direction of the Alliance Camp, followed by the sound of clamor. Amidst the noise, they vaguely heard strange sounds and saw silhouettes darting through the darkness toward the source of the flames.

This unexpected event also brought Xiao Ruo to a halt. He dismissed the dragon's shadow with a wave of his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly at the direction of the flames, then told Long Feiyun, "Go check it out," and took the lead to rush off. He and Long Feiyun were not under Bai Xinyu's jurisdiction, so they ignored Bai Xinyu's yelling and shouting behind them.

The commotion from the Alliance also drew attention from other factions, and their experts quickly hurried toward the source of the flames, hoping to figure out what was happening and, if possible, profit from the chaos. Hatred for the Alliance was one of the rare common grounds among several factions. Suddenly, many experts were rushing toward the Alliance Camp.
