As Pei Yan looked at the fire gourd with envy and drooled, Elder Tao finally completed the charging process of his move. The pain of destroying two magical artifacts in one day was unbearable. Even if he chopped this barbarian into pieces, it wouldn't alleviate the pain in his heart. As soon as the move was refined, he didn't hesitate any longer and targeted Suhabaru, waving his large hand and deploying the attack.

The massive fire gourd descended from the sky. Suhabaru wanted to dodge upon seeing it, but at this critical moment, his body inexplicably wobbled, and his strange wolfish face turned ferocious from pain, trembling like he had a seizure. Seizing this opportunity, the fire gourd pressed down, and it was too late for him to struggle, as he was firmly suppressed to the ground.

"The old man's wine is not that easy to drink! A sip or two is fine, but you dare to drink recklessly! Now, unable to neutralize the fierce fire force within, how does it feel inside your body? This is truly playing with fire! With two layers of firepower attacking you inside and out, you won't escape death today!" Tao Yuanweng looked at Suhabaru, who was suppressed under the fire gourd, gently stroked his beard, revealed a satisfied grin after avenging his great grievance, and couldn't help but taunt.

Pei Yan, watching the scene, was also drawn to the spectacle. He was amazed that after suppressing Suhabaru, the fire gourd didn't disperse but maintained its original form, continuously roasting Suhabaru's body with scorching heat. Through the mechanical eye, he could clearly see that as soon as Suhabaru's surface healed, it was seared and burned again. Repeatedly, parts of his muscle couldn't keep up with the recovery speed, and some areas already exposed white bones. If this continued, Suhabaru would undoubtedly face death.

"That Tao Yuanweng has some incredible methods." Pei Yan withdrew his gaze and sincerely remarked.

Beside him, Jiang Feiyang was drenched in sweat from the heat wave, fanning himself with a newly bought fan, and chimed in, "Yeah, this is like the 690th torture, repeatedly roasting to death. I'd rather someone shoot me for an instant death."

"Do you think Suhabaru can withstand this?" Wang Wenze asked, wiping his sweat while watching the scene.

"I doubt it!" Jiang Feiyang replied.

"I think he can!"

Hearing the unanimous response, Jiang Feiyang and Wang Wenze turned to the three who spoke, and chuckled, "You all seem to be in sync."

Pei Yan, Xia Yu, and Zhao Yuanhu exchanged glances, shook their heads with a wry smile, and said, "We think he can because we've seen similar abilities!"

"Oh? Tell us more!" Upon hearing this, Wang Wenze showed interest and pressed on. Xia Yu did not hold back and recounted the battle with Bals to everyone.

Jiang Feiyang, upon hearing this, murmured in realization, "Oh, it was that battle! We parted ways and went to the Hell Realm first, not expecting you encountered such a troublesome enemy, able to recover even after being blown to pieces?"

Pei Yan nodded with difficulty, "Not only that, but he could use Taoist magic and spells from multiple realms simultaneously, also possessing a transformation ability like Suhabaru. He was truly troublesome; in the end, it was Zhao Yuanhu's ability that restrained him to subdue him. And Bals was his disciple; if the disciple had such abilities, the master wouldn't be weaker." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It's still hard to conclude now."

"Elder Lin, do you think Suhabaru will lose?" Pei Yan asked with bright eyes when he saw Elder Lin suddenly chip in.

Elder Lin squinted his eyes and gazed at the scene. After a while, he spoke slowly, "It's hard to determine who will win now. But Elder Tao's fire gourd isn't an ordinary item. It does more than just release high temperatures. From my observation, when the fire gourd roasted him, it also imposed fire poison. This fire poison not only slowed Suhabaru's self-healing speed but invaded his muscles and even meridians. If it gets fiercer, it could harm the soul, coupled with this person's reckless large consumption of Tao Yuanweng's alcohol earlier. The two forces attacking inside and out, I fear he must feel terrible. After all, a soul is different from the body; once injured, it's not easy to recover."

Pei Yan nodded in agreement, turning his gaze to the scene. Since the fire gourd suppressed Suhabaru, over ten minutes had passed. Before the crowd's eyes, Suhabaru's life force seemed to have dwindled, almost everyone believing death was inevitable, yet a trace of unease lingered in Pei Yan's heart. This feeling of unease had saved his life multiple times, so he couldn't help but heighten his vigilance, cautioning his companions and preparing himself for any unforeseen events.

This situation persisted for more than ten minutes. The fire gourd suppressing Suhabaru, from being as bright as the midday sun, gradually dimmed. After burning for nearly half an hour, it finally reached its end. As the last wisp of fire dissipated into the air, the crowd, including Pei Yan, gathered around, eager to see the duel's outcome.

"Phew, it seems as Elder Lin predicted, Suhabaru couldn't last through; he's burnt beyond recognition!" Jiang Feiyang pinched his nose, peering into the scorched pit at the once-towering figure now curled into a black lump, finally heaving a sigh of relief and jesting.

Dead? Is he really dead? Pei Yan was puzzled, unable to detect any status through the instruments. But within this moment, Elder Lin and several other experts in the air across the dimensions suddenly cried out in unison, "He's still alive!"

What? Shocked by their words, Pei Yan quickly looked into the pit. Nothing? Just that piece of charcoal? At this time, Elder Lin clapped him on the back impatiently, "Pei Yan, don't rely too much on your technology, remember you are also a cultivator with supernatural abilities. Use your source energy to detect, sense the source energy and soul. Can't you feel his source energy still circulating?"

Pei Yan slapped his forehead and responded, "Thank you, Elder Lin, for the reminder!" Then, hastily channeling his source energy to investigate, he indeed found a faint circulation of source energy within that piece of charcoal.

Seeing that, despite all his efforts, the opponent could still barely survive, Tao Yuanweng felt humiliated and terrified. If the opponent recovered, it would be him facing death. Without delay, he pulled out a string of talismans and leaped into the pit, throwing them at Suhabaru while shouting, "Wretch, let me send you on your way!"

"Yuanweng, watch out"

"Sir, be careful!"
