The Sanguine Reach is a weapon you get pretty early in the game. You don't even need to fight a boss for it. Simply go to the Mandate Outpost in Weeping Creek Valley and find the Forge workshop near the Outpost Courtyard Bell. It can be picked up from the weapon rack beside the furnace.

To get the Scorching Flame, you'll need to find the hidden boss Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade, and defeat them. They are located on the bottommost furnace floor of the Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower in the Meigu Lake region. When you're there, look for a Powderkeg enemy and bait it into blowing a cracked wall to reveal a hidden lift. Use the lift to get to the underbelly of the tower.
