646. Fire Lotus Transfer
Ling Fengzhui, who had been intently watching Xiao Yan's movements, seemed to have a near-fanatical, excited smile curving up the corners of his mouth beneath his ghost mask. His eyes flashed with a dazzling light, not fear, but... the excitement of a hunter finally catching his strongest prey, the anticipation of meeting a worthy opponent and having his thoughts about to be proven true!
Numerous gray light spots appeared around the fire lotus that Xiao Yan had just sent out, and the space suddenly became stagnant. Xiao Yan realized that the fire lotus he sent out had briefly lost contact with him.
"Air ban!" The two deep, powerful words, like an ancient proverb, came from Ling Fengzhui's mouth, carrying an absolute confidence in controlling space.
The space within a ten-zhang radius instantly froze! The flowing air was frozen into a transparent wall, the raging energy turbulence was forcibly smoothed out, and even the light seemed to be frozen! The four-colored fire lotus containing the power to destroy the world was as if it had crashed into an invisible, extremely viscous amber. All flight trajectories, energy releases, and destructive pulses... all fell into absolute stagnation at this moment!
"It's under control!" Ling Fengzhui's voice, hidden behind his mask, trembled slightly with a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
He arrived outside Saint Pill City very early, and thanks to the grand formation, he learned of Xiao Yan's Fire Lotus Strike, which had severely injured a half-saint. He admired Xiao Yan for being able to create such an earth-shattering spectacle, and at that time, he had already begun to ponder how he should counter Xiao Yan's move!
When he actually faced Xiao Yan, he was always on guard against, or even waiting for, Xiao Yan's move.
After he successfully controlled the violent energy within his body and stabilized his semi-saint level fighting spirit, he did not immediately interrupt Xiao Yan's preparation.
He wanted to personally counter Xiao Yan's attack! He had already fallen behind in the weapon contest, and even under the combined attack of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan, he had prematurely used a soul power that wasn't his own. He also possessed his own pride, so now he had to directly counter Xiao Yan's attack!
Seeing that this most dangerous, and also the "core method" he believed in, was indeed firmly imprisoned by the method he had anticipated, Ling Fengzhui's pride was even greater!
"Spatial teleportation!"
With a flick of his fingertips towards the sky, he suddenly pointed at the vast starry sky!
The stagnant space that imprisoned the fire lotus was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand that transcended space! The entire solidified light and shadow was instantly uprooted by a violent spatial force! Along with the four-colored fire lotus that was flashing wildly and trying to break free, it was sent directly to a higher altitude and entered the sea of stars.
Ling Fengzhui then withdrew his power, and at the same time, a burst of power detonated the four-colored fire lotus that had been out of Xiao Yan's control for a short time.
Freed from its spatial confinement, the four-colored fire lotus was already on the verge of exploding due to its extreme instability. This precise and ruthless "ignition" was like setting off a giant powder keg that was already riddled with fuses!
Deep in the star system, far above the battlefield and directly above Saint Dan City!
boom--
The light tore through the eternal darkness, illuminating the entire Holy Pill City as bright as an eerie day! The layers upon layers of the Pill Tower's star seal, like fragile glass, emitted a piercing wail under the shockwave of destructive energy, visibly trembling and twisting violently, and then—shattered with a deafening roar! Thousands of starlight fragments dissipated and vanished!
The power of the Fire Lotus remained terrifying; a massive sea of four-colored flames erupted in mid-air, the intense heat even melting the space itself. Powerful forces surged forth repeatedly, but the impact on Xiao Yan and Ling Fengzhui was no longer as terrifying.
At the very least, the strongest power of the four-colored fire lotus this time will not affect Ling Fengzhui.
However, the Fire Lotus is still the Fire Lotus after all. Even the star seal set up by the Pill Tower was broken, and the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which should have been dormant and sleeping within the Pill Tower, were also released from the seal.
Purple-black flames filled the sky, and a dragon's might suddenly emerged, as a massive purple-black flame dragon appeared.
Ling Fengzhui looked up and felt a chill in his heart: If he hadn't already planned to move and detonate it, and instead faced the lotus head-on, even with his current half-saint body, he would probably have suffered considerable injuries, at the very least losing most of his combat power!
As for the Three Thousand Burning Flames, Ling Fengzhui didn't pay much attention to it. The Spirit Clan already knew the situation clearly: the Three Thousand Burning Flames ranked in the top ten of the Strange Flame Ranking, and its strength could indeed be described as weak, but its current power was only at the level of a High-Star Dou Zun, not yet surpassing the Saint level.
Previously, the three giants of the Pill Tower were not truly unable to deal with the Three Thousand Burning Flames; they were simply concerned about the spirit of heaven and earth and did not want to destroy it.
Now that the Spirit Clan has mobilized in large numbers, the attack on the Pill Tower is already far from saturated. The addition of a Dou Zun powerhouse is of little consequence.
Ling Fengzhui gazed at the Three Thousand Burning Flames, said to have originated from the stars, in mid-air without much emotional change. He himself was of the dark attribute and couldn't use these strange flames. If he could subdue them, that would be great, but if the Three Thousand Burning Flames caused any trouble, he wouldn't mind destroying the flames directly.
In comparison, he was more concerned about his rival, Xiao Yan.
Immediately, his gaze, like that of a hawk, locked onto Xiao Yan below, whose aura was weak and whose face was pale. After releasing the Fire Lotus, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was almost completely exhausted, and his soul power was also exhausted due to the high-intensity fusion with the strange fire. At this moment, he was panting heavily and quickly swallowing pills to recover.
Ling Fengzhui did not rush to make a move. Instead, he slowly took a step forward, and dark ripples spread out from his feet. The powerful pressure belonging to a half-saint was like a tangible tide, heavily slamming down on the two people opposite him, compressing the air around them to almost solidify.
"Xiao Yan!" Ling Fengzhui's voice came through the ghost mask, carrying a strange mix of admiration and regret, even more frank than before, "I must admit, I admire you!"
"To be able to force my clan's arrogant Ling Zhuo into such a sorry state, even at the cost of losing face within the clan, to resort to so many extreme measures to deal with you... whether it's your own combat strength or your potential in alchemy, you are truly astonishing!" He shook his head slightly, his gaze beneath the ghost mask seemingly piercing through space, landing on Xiao Yan. "To be honest, I don't think you lost to me tonight. My Dou Qi cultivation is far superior to yours."
He took a deep breath, and the sincerity in his voice momentarily stunned Xiao Yan: "I experienced the power of your Fire Lotus Battle Technique outside the city! If I hadn't known beforehand and prepared in advance, I wouldn't have been entirely confident in withstanding its first burst!"
"I embarked on the true path of cultivation at the age of eighteen, and it's been seventeen years since then! In these seventeen years, countless powerful individuals have died by my blade, but you are the first young person whom I, Lingfeng Zhuicong, truly admire from the bottom of my heart!"
He suddenly stepped forward, his voice carrying the invitation of a powerful figure to another: "Xiao Yan! How about joining my Spirit Clan? With your talent and potential, you're sure to be highly valued. With you as my whetstone and companion, we can learn from each other and forge ahead. In the future, our names will surely be among the pinnacle of power on the Dou Qi Continent. This will be a bright path of mutual benefit!"
