295. Flame Blade *Simplified Version*
The Flame Blade is indeed just a very common, mainstream sword technique in the Cultivation World.
Its rank is Second-Grade, which means that First-Grade- grade cultivator cannot use this move comfortably. They will only learn the Flame Blade stance, and when they use it, no sparks will appear on the blade.
Only after a cultivator converts the Blood Qi and qi within their body into true qi can they use the 'Flame Blade' technique to catalyze the true qi into flames.
The flames burning on the blade can enhance its destructive power, and, just like Song Shuhang did before, can transform the 'Flame Blade' into a crescent-shaped Flame Blade aura.
It boasts decent close-range power and considerable ranged damage, making it a fairly good sword technique among common cultivator sword techniques.
--And what Song Shuhang saw in the memories of the rogue Li Tiansu was that when Daoist Scarlet Firmament used the Flame Blade, he was even more Tyrant.
When the blade is slashed, endless flames surge on it, flames that can burn anything and never go out!
That was a Heaven-Burning strike that engulfed the entire world in flames.
Even though Song Shuhang was just watching from the sidelines, he felt his whole body burning hot, his mouth dry, and his blood almost dried up when faced with the slash from Daoist Scarlet Firmament.
At this moment, Song Shuhang's mind was filled with the memory of Daoist Scarlet Firmament using a tree branch as a knife to unleash that Flame Blade.
This memory was so vivid that Song Shuhang could recall even the Daoist Scarlet Firmament's wrist.
But the movements of the sword technique are not the most important thing. What matters is the Saber Intent Daoist Scarlet Firmament's sword strike. That Heaven-Burning Fire... is the manifestation of Daoist Scarlet Firmament.
At this moment, Shuhang felt as if he had personally experienced the Saber Intent of Daoist Scarlet Firmament.
In mid-air, he involuntarily flipped his wrist, clumsily imitating Senior Master Scarlet Firmament's 'Saber Intent'.
The next moment.
Boom! The Overlord Shatter Saber, bursting into flames.
However, this flame was much weaker than the Flame Blade attached to the Ancient Copper Ring, as if it would go out at any moment, with only a thin layer of flame covering the Overlord Shatter Saber.
Let's call it the 'Flame Blade * Simplified Version' for now?
Regardless of the circumstances, Song Shuhang succeeded!
He forcefully unleashed the 'Flame Blade,' a technique that could only be used at the Second-Grade level, at the First-Grade Realm.
Within his body, the Blood Qi from his heart, eyes, ears, and nose surged wildly into the Overlord Shatter Saber. Even the reserve energy of the Spirit Ghost within his body was continuously transferred into the Overlord Shatter Saber.
Song Shuhang's gaze was fixed on the eagle soaring high in the sky.
The eagle, startled, soared higher and higher, while Song Shuhang himself plummeted, the distance between them instantly widening to nearly ten meters...
"Drink!" Song Shuhang waved his hand again, dragging his Overlord Shatter Saber, upwards at an angle.
A tiny, pitiful flame floated lightly toward the eagle.
Song Shuhang's cultivation was too weak. Even with the help of the Spirit Ghost, the Flame Blade energy he unleashed with all his might could not form a crescent-shaped blade of light. It could only turn into such a light and floating flame, which looked as if it would be extinguished by a slight breeze.
The small flame no longer aimed at the eagle's neck, but instead drifted towards its massive body.
Although the flame was small and looked very light, it was extremely fast! The instant Song Shuhang slashed it out, a second later, it had already crashed into the eagle's massive body.
This time, the eagle couldn't dodge; its body was too large, and no matter how it tried to avoid the flames, it couldn't escape.
Moreover... this time, its instincts did not stimulate or remind it; it did not feel any sense of crisis.
Snap!
The tiny flame struck the eagle, and then... shattered.
It shattered just like that, without causing the eagle the slightest harm?
This is completely different from the Tyrant Flame Blade from before.
However, Song Shuhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he fell.
He gently clenched his fist.
"Chirp~~" Just then, the eagle in the sky suddenly let out a long, mournful cry. It flapped its wings forcefully and frantically, but its body still couldn't stop falling downwards.
At the same time... a burst of blood suddenly shot out from its back, and a flame, only the size of a candle flame, shot out from its back.
This burst of blood seemed like a command to launch an attack. The next moment, dozens of bloody holes burst open on the eagle's back, and tiny flames shot out from these holes.
Each flame carried the chilling Saber Intent of Brahma —just now, when that small ball of flame struck the eagle, it didn't shatter, but instead shot directly into the eagle's body. The Flame Blade energy, from the inside out, completely severed its life force.
The eagle struggled desperately before it died, its claws involuntarily loosening.
Gao Moumou and the Black man fell from the sky at the same time.
"It's a success," Song Shuhang murmured.
Next, we need to catch Gao Moumou and the black man first... otherwise, if they fall to the ground from a height of nearly forty meters, Gao Moumou will both be turned into mincemeat.
Shuhang glanced sideways at the city wall and began calculating where to land.
Then, he gently patted the pendant around his neck.
The 'Azure Wind Acceleration' pendant can be used twice a day; this is the second time it has been used today.
After activating the spell on the pendant, a layer of green wind enveloped Song Shuhang.
His body became lighter, but more importantly, the azure wind surrounding him greatly slowed Song Shuhang's descent.
Song Shuhang's body floated down through the air like a willow leaf.
At the same time, his hand reached to the side of his backpack...
************************
At this moment... Lu Fei and her sister, Mei Yi, Tubo, and the other passengers in the castle cave were all wide-eyed with astonishment.
Song Shuhang's performance just now completely exceeded their expectations. He ran vertically up a wall nearly forty meters high and unleashed a series of Flame Blade strikes that slashed down eagles.
Finally, Song Shuhang even killed a giant eagle with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. Is this something a human could do?
Is he really a martial arts master?
Next, even if Song Shuhang suddenly reached out and unleashed eighteen Golden Dragon from his palm, shouting "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms," no one present would be surprised, really!
Even more shocking than the passengers were the sight of Gao Moumou and the Black man falling from the sky.
Gao Moumou thought he was doomed.
As the eagle lifted Ascension into the sky, he even wondered what would happen to his lovely girlfriend Mei Yi, and whether she would find another boyfriend and gradually forget about him. The thought of that scene made Gao Moumou want to grab a handful of grass.
But unexpectedly, his roommate suddenly transformed into Superman. He could scale walls, ride on a giant eagle, and even slice through Flame Blade with his bare hands.
In the blink of an eye, an eagle with a wingspan of nearly ten meters was killed head-on!
Is this really Song Shuhang? He looks so powerful! The Song Shuhang I know can't be like this! Has he been replaced by aliens?
Gao Moumou's feelings at this moment were like a tsunami. One wave subsided only for another to rise.
Compared to Gao Moumou's tsunami-like emotions, the Black man's thoughts were much simpler. "Help, help me! Save me, I'm falling, ahhhhhh..."
The black man had only one thought in his mind: he didn't want to die, he wanted to live, he wanted help!
In the sky, Gao Moumou, the black man, and the eagle's corpse fell in batches, falling very quickly. Song Shuhang, on the other hand, was supported by a gentle breeze called "Azure Wind Acceleration," descending slowly.
The distance between the two sides quickly closed, from more than ten meters at the beginning to only about three meters.
"Now." Song Shuhang pulled a long rope from his backpack—a rope he had casually put into his backpack not long ago when he untied Gao Moumou.
He felt that ropes would definitely come in handy in a place like the Mysterious Island, and now they were proving useful.
The gorillas tied Gao Moumou and the others up like dumplings with just one rope, and that rope was incredibly long. Song Shuhang only took a section of it; the whole rope was a huge bundle that couldn't even fit in a backpack!
Next, Song Shuhang channeled the last of his Blood Qi energy into his arm, grabbed the rope, and threw it forcefully toward Gao Moumou.
Snap!
Under the influence of the Qi and Blood Qi, the rope snapped straight and shot towards Gao Moumou. Then, Song Shuhang flicked his wrist, and the rope deftly wrapped around Gao Moumou.
After ensnaring Gao Moumou, Shuhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed the other end of the rope and used the same trick to ensnare the black man as well.
"Hold on tight to the rope, or don't blame me if you fall!" Song Shuhang shouted.
Gao Moumou and the Black man quickly gripped the rope tightly.
Song Shuhang narrowed his eyes slightly, bit down, and swallowed a Blood Qi Pill. A huge amount of Blood Qi and Blood power poured into Song Shuhang's body, recovering the energy consumed by his previous 'Flame Blade' attack.
Directly below, the eagle that Song Shuhang had previously stomped down, clutching the slightly overweight flight attendant and the female office worker, was frantically flapping its wings and rising again.
As Song Shuhang fell, he intentionally adjusted his angle to land on the eagle.
At this moment, the eagle had already soared back to a height of nearly 25 meters.
With one hand gripping the rope, Song Shuhang, propelled by the 'Azure Wind Acceleration,' landed squarely on the eagle's back.
"Get down!" Song Shuhang shouted, channeling the Blood Qi from his four major acupoints into his feet once more, and stomped hard on the eagle's back.
The eagle once again acted as a stepping stone, letting out a mournful cry as its body sank downwards once more.
It flapped its wings frantically, trying to regain its altitude.
At the same time, it turned its head and its sharp beak swung towards Song Shuhang and his group.
Song Shuhang gripped the rope tightly with his left hand, while simultaneously flicking his right wrist. He once again imitated the 'Saber Intent' of Daoist Scarlet Firmament, intending to kill the eagle in one fell swoop.

"Seriously, is it really okay to cheat so blatantly? The Flame Blade is Second-Grade sword technique, right? This guy is only at the First-Grade Realm."
