Chapter 364: 365: Secret Technique, Repeatedly Dodging Side to Side
“And now I’m back in…”
“I’m out again…”
“Eh, I’m back in again…”
“Really, it’s no problem…”
In the arena, a group of cultivators watched as Li Xiaobai repeatedly leaped in and out of the flames, seemingly enjoying himself greatly, their blank gazes slowly returning to calm.
Doubts began to rise in their hearts – Li Xiaobai was certainly a real person, but why was he unharmed after entering the flames?
Could it be that these flames truly caused no harm?
Cai Kunxu stared intently at Li Xiaobai, who was jumping back and forth. Could it be that these flames were different from the ones discovered on the battlefield, ones that did not burn the spiritual power inside a cultivator’s body?
With a cautious attitude, Cai Kunxu pointed at a young man who had been particularly active earlier and said, “You go in and try, see if there’s really nothing wrong with this fire.”
“City Lord, is that really necessary? Young Master Li has already proven that there’s no problem with the flames. Shouldn’t we just go inside?”
The young man was somewhat fearful; the might of Hellfire seemed intimidating, and even with Li Xiaobai leading the way, he didn’t dare to tread lightly.
Cai Kunxu’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of cold sharpness: “Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?”
“Not at all!”
The young man quickly responded.
“Good to know. I am the City Lord, and as the City Lord, I must be responsible for the safety of every brother. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Cai Kunxu continued.
The young man: “Understood!”
“Since you understand, then go ahead.”
Cai Kunxu’s expression was indifferent, conveying a sense of unquestionable authority.
Helplessly, the young man walked towards where Li Xiaobai was, his heart beating with trepidation, but seeing the other’s relaxed demeanor, he assumed there was probably no problem.
Li Xiaobai, with a smile, beckoned to the youth as if greeting an old friend he hadn’t seen for years.
As long as the guy dared to come in, he would be incinerated to ash in an instant.
Stopping at the edge of the flames, the young man cautiously extended a finger and gently touched the jet-black flames.
The black flame flickered, and strands of black thread covered his entire body. In the blink of an eye, the young man had turned into a pile of ash.
The process took no more than a second, without even a hint of noise, making it seem eerie and natural.
At this moment, all the cultivators present shivered involuntarily, struck with a chill as they looked at the flames with sudden fear.
“What happened, Brother Wang was directly burned to ashes!”
“Yeah, what’s going on? How come Li Xiaobai can remain safe and sound while inside it, without a single hair harmed?”
“He must be carrying a treasure. The big shots from Central Province said so,”
Cai Kunxu too, looked at Li Xiaobai in front of him as if he was a monster.
“There’s a huge problem with these flames; not even cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage can withstand them. Who exactly are you?”
Xiong Da quietly moved away from the flames, and the towering Primodial Spirit Phantom in the void grew more formidable, a crushing pressure descending from above, scattering much of the surrounding pitch-black flames in an instant.
Li Xiaobai stepped out from the flames.
“I am Li Xiaobai. You have been scheming to kill me all this time, yet you haven’t even figured out the situation with your opponent. I must say, you’ve disappointed me,” he said calmly.
“These flames can burn a cultivator’s spiritual power within the body. Even I would not dare to enter them lightly. What kind of magic have you used to be unharmed amidst the black flames?”
Cai Kunxu’s eyes still revealed an unstoppable surprise.
“That’s because you’re weak. As a high-level master like myself, I’m already fearless before any existence!”
“The higher you stand, the colder it gets. To be invincible is to be lonely. If you disagree, come and fight!”
Li Xiaobai was arrogant, not taking Cai Kunxu seriously at all.
“You little brat, die!”
Furious, Cai Kunxu’s Internal Cultivation Technique went berserk within his Dantian, and he thrust out a hand, suddenly grabbing toward Li Xiaobai in the flames.
His fingers became claws, covered by the formidable power of his Primordial Spirit, piercing into the flames, but his expression changed immediately. In an instant, the Spiritual Power and Primordial Spirit Power on his hand were devoured completely.
The flesh on his hand was dissolved away, leaving only a skeletal hand.
With the speed of lightning, he retracted his wrist and Cai Kunxu’s figure burst back, retreating to the edge of the flames, his heart churning with shock and horror.
In just a moment, the power of his Primordial Spirit was devoured completely—these flames were truly a little terrifying.
Blood dripped gruesomely from the skeletal hand.
“This is impossible, my Mahayana Realm cultivation level can’t have had a hand burned off in an instant!”
“You’re not the genius they talk about at all. Who are you really, and why are you sneaking into our borderlands? What’s your purpose?”
Cai Kunxu was both shocked and scared. The flames before him were bizarre to the extreme, and he was certain that if he was caught in them, he wouldn’t survive even half an hour!
“I never claimed to be a young prodigy, ah. It was all made up by you guys (YY),”
“I’ve always been saying that I’m a peerless talent, an invincible being, but no one believed me. What can I do about it?”
Li Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and innocently said.
Xiong Da also retreated as if flying, leaving only a crowd of confused onlookers staring dumbfounded in their place.
“This kind of flame can kill someone in the Mahayana Realm!”
“Li Xiaobai is not some young prodigy at all!”
“He’s an ancient monster in hiding!”
“What exactly is his purpose in coming to the borders!”
Cai Kunxu screamed in horror, his figure flickered onto the warship, and with his bloody skeletal hand, he scooped up the befuddled cultivators below, throwing them onto the warship.
“Let’s go!”
“This person has big issues!”
In the void, two giant phantoms of Divine Demon Spirits lifted their fists and smashed them down, aiming fiercely at Li Xiaobai on the ground.
At the same time, layers of inscriptions on the warship emerged, drifted in the air, and took off, turning into a streak of light fleeing far away in the blink of an eye.
“Hehe, you can’t escape.”
Li Xiaobai looked up and gave a faint smile. He flipped his wrist and a longsword appeared in his hand, raised high above his head, then casually slashed down.
In an instant, the bodies of all the cultivators on the warship fell out of control, their forms lurched violently backward.
They knelt on their knees, hands held high, in a gesture of worship, and crashed miserably into the dark flames.
“I’m so screwed…”
“What’s going on, my body won’t listen to me!”
“Why am I running toward the black flames?”
“This position is so embarrassing…”
The cultivators were horrified and utterly panicked.
They watched helplessly as their bodies were engulfed by the dark flames, and before they could even scream, they were reduced to ash in mere moments.
Cai Kunxu and Xiong Da were terrified. What kind of sorcery was this, capable of such strong control? Even their high Mahayana Realm cultivation levels were unable to resist as they were pulled into the darkness.
“Old Cai, think of something!”
“If I had a way, I would have already run for it…”
