Inside the palace, scarlet flames roared to the sky.
Every step Peng Lie took, the golden bricks beneath him melted into scalding molten liquid.
The crimson Gang Yuan surrounding him transformed into nine fire dragons, rampaging wildly across the vast palace gardens.
The meticulously carved marble railings shattered under the intense heat, and the exotic flowers in the royal garden wilted instantly.
"Run quickly!"
"It's the royal father-in-law!"
The palace's forbidden army witnessed this terrifying scene and abandoned their armor, fleeing in all directions.
On the gilded corridor leading to Jinluan Hall, more than a dozen guards rolled on the ground, unable to escape in time.
Their armor turned hot red, yet miraculously did not harm their flesh.
"Hmph!"
Peng Lie snorted coldly, and the fire dragons, as if possessing their own intelligence, avoided the fallen, groaning soldiers.
Although furious, he steadfastly adhered to the principle of not harming the innocent.
