"What... what's going on?"
"Don't panic... He will save us all, so he probably doesn't have any bad intentions. His target is likely the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."
"The Green Ox Herdboy said in a deep voice."
"How did this kid attract the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint? However, this Demon Saint doesn't seem to be in soul form, but rather more like an afterimage. Yet, this afterimage possesses such powerful energy. The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint truly lives up to its name!"
The Soul Demon Old Man and the others also kept their eyes fixed on Huo Xuan, their minds racing with thoughts.
As everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint slowly raised his head, waved his sleeve, and the milky white light shield gradually dissipated, revealing a pair of white eyes gazing at the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the sky.
"The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint? How is that possible?! How could you still be alive?!"
The moment the light barrier dissipated, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the sky locked onto the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint at first glance. A huge wave of shock surged in its heart, and a horrified roar echoed in disbelief across the sky.
"Little Demon, it seems that thousands of years of sealing have still failed to quell the violence within you..."
The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint stared at the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. A faint voice, sometimes near, sometimes far, slowly emanated from its mouth, eventually echoing throughout the world. It subtly revealed a kind of oppressive power that made the heavens and earth tremble.
"You bastard, Purifying Lotus Demon Saint! You ungrateful wretch! Without me, could you have achieved so much? I helped you so much, and in the end you sealed me away. Haha, you deserve to be killed by the backlash!"
The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame stared at the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint with a ferocious expression, laughing maniacally, as if it were about to unleash all the boundless hatred in its heart.
"I am partly responsible for your violent behavior, but the demonic fire is too destructive. If you are allowed to leave freely, it will be a great disaster for the world."
When I first met you, you were as pure as a baby. Sadly, you later went down the wrong path!
The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame roared fiercely and angrily, "Which path I choose is none of your business!"
"Hmph, a mere afterimage dares to be arrogant before me? Do you still think you're the once-powerful Purifying Lotus Demon Saint?" The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame glared resentfully at the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, its hand seals suddenly changing, and the two enormous fire arrays in the world began to rotate once more. "This great array was personally set up by you back then; today, let me taste its power!"
"Refine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame roared angrily, and two beams of light containing destructive power shot out from the two arrays of heaven and earth again, and then shot towards the direction where the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint was located with lightning speed.
Seeing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame unleash its powerful array once more, everyone's expression changed. If they were to be struck by that beam of light, probably no more than five of them would survive...
"Call out!"
Gazing at the pillar of light that streaked across the sky like a shooting star, the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint slowly raised her finger and gently pointed. "Freeze!"
As that calm voice faded, the two beams of light that were about to strike them suddenly froze...
The beam of light stopped less than five feet in front of and behind the group, and the destructive power emanating from it made everyone's scalp tingle.
A faint smile appeared on the face of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint. Looking at the extremely ugly Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the sky, she said softly, "The Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation was created by me. In terms of understanding it, you are not as good as me..."
"You bastard!"
Upon seeing this, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame couldn't help but curse. However, as soon as the curse fell, he realized with a drastic change in expression that his control over the great formation was gradually disappearing.
"Boom!"
Between heaven and earth, the two enormous fire arrays trembled violently at this moment. The last layer of milky white flames suddenly overflowed from within the arrays and swept into the body of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. With the entry of these flames into its body, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame completely lost control of the Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation.
"Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, I'll fight you to the death!"
The grand formation went out of control, and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's eyes instantly turned blood red. He naturally knew the terrifying power of this formation, and if the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint were allowed to control it, he would definitely be sealed away again. He had lived that monotonous life for thousands of years and was already extremely tired of it...
"Demon Flame Destroys the World!"
The body of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame rapidly expanded, and with a final bang, it transformed into a raging inferno that filled the heavens and earth. All the energy within this space was instantly evaporated by the extremely terrifying high temperature.
"Laugh!"
Just as everyone was trembling, the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint suddenly waved his sleeve, and the two enormous arrays in the sky, each tens of thousands of feet in size, suddenly released a beam of light. The light twisted in mid-air and finally transformed into a spatial passage.
"Hurry up and leave. If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame explodes, none of you will survive."
Hearing the indifferent words of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, everyone was overjoyed. They didn't have time to think much and immediately began to rush into the spatial passage.
"Huo Zhi, let's go quickly!" Huo Yao said to Huo Zhi. This place was far too dangerous. No one had expected that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had become so terrifying.
"But..."
"Let's go first. There's no use in worrying. If you stay here, you won't be of any help to that kid Huo Xuan. Since the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint appeared in his body, he probably won't harm him..." Huo Yao pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice.
"This..."
"No! I want to stay and keep him company!"
At this moment, the milky white flames in the sky grew larger and larger. Eventually, some pink flames gradually appeared in the center of the flames. These pink flames slowly condensed, and then a slightly crimson, Strange Fire lotus slowly rotated and appeared in the sky.
As soon as the Fire Lotus appeared, Huo Yao's face turned red, and his fighting Dou Qi emanated waves of scorching heat, as if it were about to spontaneously combust.
"Since the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint appeared using Huo Xuan, Brother's body, she shouldn't... she shouldn't harm me..."
"Stop being stubborn! Come with me!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, crimson Red Lotus Karma Flame erupted from Huo Zhi's body, and the Clan Mark appeared between his brows. His aura surged, and it seemed that he intended to fight Huo Yao to the end.
"This... sigh, Huo Zhi Child, you... take care!"
At this point, there was no way to delay any longer. Seeing that Huo Zhi Huo Yao made up her mind, Huo Yao didn't say anything more. Instantly, he flashed away and sped towards the spatial passage.
"Miss Xun Er, stop thinking about that Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!" Gu Nanhai grabbed Gu Xun'er and sped towards the spatial passage. Seeing that Gu Xun'er's gaze was still fixed on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, he roared angrily, "Life is precious! Even without the demon flame, you can still reach the pinnacle in the future!"
"Peak..."
Gu Xun'er was never interested in the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. From beginning to end, she was only interested in one thing: Huo Xuan's life!
Becoming the strongest on this continent was never her wish. Her only wish was to spend more time by Brother Xiao Yan's side. More than herself, she wanted to see her beloved Brother Xiao Yan become the strongest on this continent one day.
Gu Xun'er had been waiting, waiting for Xiao Yan to truly become a powerful figure who stood above all others. One day, he would definitely become that powerful figure, and then, amidst the blessings of countless people, he would come to marry her in unparalleled glory...
But Huo Xuan destroyed everything, so she wants revenge! She wants to kill Huo Xuan with her own hands and use Huo Xuan's life to appease the soul of her Brother Xiao Yan!
The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint relied on Huo Xuan's body to fight the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame ultimately fell into Huo Xuan's hands, with the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint's assistance, and if Huo Xuan successfully refined the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame...
No!
"No! I can't leave like this!"
If we can't kill Huo Xuan this time, then if he successfully refines the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the future and his strength increases greatly, then we won't be able to kill him at all!
As she watched Huo Xuan recede into the distance, Gu Xun'er could hardly contain the burning flames of revenge within her. She had to kill him, she absolutely had to kill Huo Xuan!
"Nanhai Elder, please tell my father that this time, Xun'er will be allowed to be willful one more time!"
Just as she was about to enter the spatial passage, Gu Xun'er bit her red lips tightly, her jade hand suddenly trembled, and she actually broke free from Gu Nanhai's control. Then she slapped the latter's back with a palm, and a gentle force directly sent him into the spatial passage.
The sudden turn of events was clearly beyond Gu Nanhai's expectations, so he didn't even have time to react before crashing into the spatial passage and disappearing.
Gu Xun'er also turned around, staring solemnly at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the distance. A flame of revenge ignited in her heart. She activated her Strange Fire, and the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame swept out from her body.
We must get revenge!
