"Heavenly Flame taking human form?"
Gu Xun'er's pupils contracted.
Of course.
Her reaction was not because she doubted whether Lu Yuan had the strength to protect her, nor was it born of concern for her own safety. It was simply the instinctive shock of witnessing something unbelievable.
What Gu Xun'er did not know was that the Purification Lotus Demon Fire was equally shocked at that very moment.
Though this body of his was formed from a Heavenly Flame, just like Void Swallowing Flame, he had imitated the man who had once conquered him—the Purification Lotus Demon Saint—down to his very name. His aura at that moment was exactly the same as the Purification Lotus Demon Saint's aura when he had been a Five Star Dou Sheng. Even if the Purification Lotus Demon Saint himself had been asked to identify it, he would have doubted reality. How could someone see through his true form at a glance? He had only just arrived, yet someone had already discovered him and called him out. How was that possible?
Fortunately, the Purification Lotus Demon Fire's mindset was not so fragile that he would imitate some Boss Cao, shouting that it was impossible whenever he suffered a setback or slamming his rice bowl upside down on the table. The Purification Lotus Demon Fire was relatively composed.
Though that composure was utterly useless.
"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?"
Faced with Gu Xun'er's question—strictly speaking, it could not even be called a question, merely surprise—the Purification Lotus Demon Fire felt an inexplicable pressure from Lu Yuan. He did not want to be underestimated or looked down upon, so even though he knew it was nonsense, he still had to say it, to prove to these intruders that he was not ignorant.
Since it was a verbal exchange.
