RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 19: THE FURNACE

After the powerful firestorm throughout the mine disappeared, the 3-headed snake figure came back into sight. But this time, the white-headed snake had turned black as its entire skin was burnt by the fire.

Myro could feel that the white snake was not moving anymore, he was sure that the white snake was dead which meant that the target was finished. As for the black and red snakes, they still survived despite being heavily injured. However, Myro's firestorm was centered on the white snake, it was not strange that the other 2 snake heads could still survive. Especially the head of the red snake that had the highest fire resistance, the wound he got from the attack of Myro firestorm was the lightest than the head of another snake.

Although the other 2 snake heads were still alive, Zhi Li and Shi Yan would not give the other 2 snake heads a chance to recuperate, therefore Zhi Li and Shi Yan took advantage of this opportunity.

Before they could move, suddenly the other 2 snake heads separated their heads from their already merged bodies. They form their own bodies because of the death of the head of the white snake, when they are still joined then the head of the white snake will only slow their movement.

At first both Zhi Li and Shi Yan were shocked by the split of this 3-headed snake body, but Zhi Li was the earliest to be aware of it than Shi Yan. Thousands of spider webs emerged from the hands of Zhi Li which moved swiftly around the red-headed snake, slowly forming a giant prison that trapped the entire red-headed snake.

"I can't make the teacher wait any longer, so you have to die now" Zhi Li said coldly as he stared at the spider web prison he had finished making before.

"Shelf!".

The red-headed snake tried to hit the prison spider web until it was destroyed to escape, even he fired fire from his mouth to burn the webs that had imprisoned him.

Myro saw the spider web surrounding the red-headed snake "A furnace of fire?".

From the shape of the net belonging to Zhi Li, Myro realized that the net formed a furnace of combustion. Myro understood why Zhi Li had formed a combustion furnace because the fire used would become stronger as long as it remained in the middle of the furnace, the problem was whether these spider webs could withstand the flames without burning in the slightest like an iron furnace.

A fire Lotus Flower appeared in Zhi Li's hands, then hundreds of other fire Lotus flew behind him.

"Actually I was just thinking of making this technique, so I don't know yet if this is strong enough or not. You can feel happy, red snake! You are the earliest creature to feel this attack of mine" said Zhi Li who threw the fire Lotus in his hand towards the spider web furnace "Fire Lotus Special Technique, Fire Flower Explosion Furnace".

The hundreds of Lotus flames behind Zhi Li flew towards the furnace before it began to form a firestorm.

As the firestorm had formed, Zhi Li raised his hand again "It's time to close this furnace!".

"Shelf!".

The spider web again emerged from Zhi Li's hand which closed the entire gap on the one that was still in the furnace.

"Booooom!".

Zhi Li slightly sweated, maintaining the spider web into a furnace was not at all easy, not to mention this was the fire Lotus ability which was his strongest fire. If not for Zhi Li's net being an Arachne net, this furnace would have already been destroyed.

Shi Yan also looked at Zhi Li's movements, he knew that the red snake on the furnace would definitely not survive anymore "Then I can't lose for too long, I will kill you the snake!".

A golden axe appeared in the hands of Shi Yan who had already joined Ganesha.

Ganesha had 4 hands and 3 of his weapons, among which was the golden axe in Shi Yan's hand which was part of Ganesha's 3 weapons.

The golden axe in Shi Yan's hand shone brightly, Shi Yan opened his eyes that had already been transformed into the golden color of "Prepare yourself, snake! In front of me, then everyone should kneel down!".

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Yan struck his golden axe towards the black head snake.

"Sssss!", the black-headed snake hissed and shot out poison towards Shi Yan, but the poison instantly burned under the golden light power of Shi Yan's axe.

"You think such a weak poison can kill me, you underestimate us too much! Be proud of the snake, for it could die by this attack of master Shi Yan and Ganesha" said Shi Yan who had the arrogance of Ganesha.

"Dash!".

The black-headed snake was instantly split into 2 pieces by the golden axe of Ganesha, there was no chance of surviving a single second anymore.

Myro who observed from earlier knew that Shi Yan was styled like Ganesha not because he was already controlled by the same Ganesha as before, instead Shi Yan grew closer to Ganesha and he became more and more skilled at controlling him. He who can use the weapon Ganesha is proof that he is increasingly expert in using the combination with the spirit.

Not long after, the burning sound in Zhi Li's furnace was not heard anymore. Zhi Li slowly withdrew his spider web, finally the shape of the furnace disappeared completely.

In front of everyone's eyes, the red head snake had already burned completely to black. Even the state of this red snake was not much better than the white snake that had previously been burned by Vermilion flames, after all the ability of the furnace to be able to strengthen the fire was simply not to be underestimated. Therefore, to make a sword or burn something that has high fire resistance then someone more often choose to wear a furnace.

When everyone was done, Myro walked towards the white snake corpse and took out a monster core crystal there "You have already defeated the snake yourself, so you can take the monster core. We will be back now, our goal to defeat all monsters at level 4 is done. As for level 5, our strength right now is still not enough".

Zhi Li and Shi Yan opened up together towards Myro "Thank you, patriarch!".

Myro waved their hands and let the 2 people go to pick up the crystal on the corpse of the snake they had already killed, during that time Myro stared at the gigantic iron gate that bound the 4th floor with 5, an extremely powerful monster aura could be felt from behind the door "Martial Generals are still quite difficult to fight against with the current strength!".
