Sheng Qingzhi was not reduced to ashes in the flames. The skin and flesh of his skull burned away, revealing a skull-like head. His facial features were also melted in the high temperature, and even the hair and skin on his body had disappeared.

Even in this posture, the old man was not dead. He was left with a shriveled skin. The blood in his body evaporated in the flames, like a mummy. Even his eyes turned into two charcoal balls rolling in the black hollow eye sockets.

The fire seemed to burst out from the depths of his flesh and blood, and the fire was so intense that it could be said that he had become one with the flame.

The mummy walked forward and waved his hand, and the flying fire filled the air and turned into a cloud of fire, which spread out in all directions.

Hooray!

The fire took advantage of the wind, like Chengfeng, and the fire clouds spread out layer by layer, and the cobblestone roads paved in the inner courtyards also dissolved and collapsed in the spreading firelight.

Screams and howls were heard from all over the Sheng Mansion, and they were imprisoned in "Soul-Entrapping Heaven-Covering Array". No one in the Sheng Mansion could escape and ascend to heaven. No matter it was people, birds, vegetation, everything seemed to fall into a big melting pot, fleeting and turned into coke.

Wherever Sheng Qingzhi goes, the fire on his body spreads like flying fire snakes. He wanders around aimlessly as he pleases, and the surrounding vegetation suddenly scatters into fly ash.

Boom!

There was a sudden loud noise in the building complex next to it. It turned out that a pavilion in the Sheng Family mansion collapsed amid strong flames and smoke, and the tile eaves also fell.

At this time, He Ping and Chixinzi both quickly retreated, trying to stay away from the old man who had turned into a burning man. Although they had not yet come into direct contact with him, the approaching fire made them feel hairy and scorched, and they were forced to endure the heat wave that ordinary people could not withstand.

"Give it to me!"

He Ping flew back, raised his sleeves and robes, and with a "zheng" sound, several Hundred Paths gray shadows flew through the air. In an instant, Sheng Qingzhi in the flames was hit by "Milo Blade", and the blood mist exploded from the head, neck, hands, elbows, legs, feet and other parts. Immediately, the guy's body was dismembered and torn into pieces.

Peng! Strong flames erupted from his body again, penetrating the surface of the mummy. Layers of heat waves spread outward, setting off ripples one after another on the ground. At the same time, the flames wrapped around the broken limbs like countless living snakes, forcibly reassembling the scattered flesh and blood.

"Go!"

Chixinzi also shouted loudly, and several glowing fists flew down from the air, hitting Sheng Qingzhi's body from all directions, knocking him away. The brick walls shattered, the beams collapsed, and the houses in the Sheng Family's house were bathed in waves of fire. When the flaming man's figure landed there, the whole area burned.

"Death!"

He moved his fingers, and the ground where the burning man was lying collapsed. In the dust and smoke, "Red-Scaled Earth-Armored Centipede Dragon" poked its head out from the pit below. The giant centipede opened its jaws, biting the burning man's waist like a guillotine. With a "click" sound, the bones and flesh broke, splitting it into two.

In an instant, the fire exploded again, and the Pyroman flew several feet away. Only the upper body was freed, and his hands were scratching on the ground. Then, the broken part turned into a whirlpool of flames, and the limbs of the lower body quickly grew out.

"...Undead Abomination!"

When He Ping first heard what Chixinzi said, he thought it was an exaggeration. It was not until he saw this scene that he was convinced that it was not nonsense.

"Then Sheng Qingzhi should be Daoist Disciple of the Chongyang Palace. He forcibly took Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman, and his life form has changed. He originally He had the opportunity to become a Daoist master, but he didn't set up any rituals. Swallowing Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman was just a way to seek death. Now he doesn't even have any sense, he is just a monster that will continue to chase the enemy and spread destruction."

Chixinzi opened his mouth "Armor-Clad Spirit Light" while opening his hands forward to form a shield-like golden light barrier to resist the increasingly intense heat wave.

"Also, Junior Brother He, don't just think about using 'Nine-Death Substitute Witch Puppet' to escape. This Sheng Qingzhi blamed you and me before he died. After becoming Undead Abomination, he will fight us until death. Even if you escape, Even if you are thousands of miles away, he will lock on you and keep chasing you... Besides, Tu Du has planted 'Soul-Thrall Sky-Covering Array' here, and your witch puppet can't easily break through. If you have this energy, you might as well try to kill it a few times!"

Chixinzi is lying here. This mere "Soul-Thrall Sky-Covering Array" cannot affect the effect of "Nine-Death Substitute Witch Puppet".

But when He Ping heard this, he felt a "gag" in his heart. He originally planned to use the witch puppet to escape first, but after hearing this, his actions slowed down.

"Brother, even if we join forces, it will not be easy to kill him ten times in a row within a hundred breaths. Is there any other way to deal with this guy?"

He Ping has been observing Chixinzi's offensive. He calculated it several times in his heart and felt that even if the two of them joined forces, it would be difficult to completely destroy this "Undead Abomination" through ten clean strangulations in a mere hundred breaths of time.

"Then I don't know..."

Chixin shook his head, and Wood-Carved Mask shifted his gaze back to Pyroman again. He opened his mouth to recite the incantation, and several rays of light flew out from his sleeves. They were hundreds of spiritual talismans. The talismans were pale green, and they were connected together in the air, forming a dark chain that emitted a deep green light.

"But I know that if I want to defeat it, I must try to seal this guy away!"

This is the forbidden spell of the Sanyuan Devil Palace. It is extremely powerful and can bind monsters and restrain their souls. In other words, it can restrain tangible objects with invisible power. The chain flew into the air and made a series of clanging sounds in the air. The front end of the lock pierced Sheng Qingzhi's chest like a big iron awl.

At this moment, the whole body was surrounded by fire, and Sheng Qingzhi, who was like a mummy, also made a move. His eyes like burning charcoal balls were raised upwards, and his right hand was raised upwards, pinching the big iron awl at the front of the chain.

With a "beep" sound, the chain turned into a line of fire, and the fire burned all the way along the chain. The chain that could bind and restrain the living soul was beaten back to its original shape. With a clatter, the talisman burned into a large piece. When it was close to Chixinzi, it exploded into a large piece of fire.

Chixinzi snorted coldly, swung his cuffs in the wind, and scattered into countless sparks. The next second, the green robe's shadow flashed and backed up onto the raised tile eaves of a pavilion. He lowered his head to look at He Qingzhi on the ground, and his eyes became a little nervous.

"It's really strange. His mind should have disappeared. Why would he still act like this?"

He Ping was hanging on the laid silk thread, as if hanging in a huge spider web. He was watching this scene while staying high in the sky. Sweat was pouring from his forehead. The raging fire was steaming up and burning wind. He felt his lungs burning when he breathed in some of it.

"No matter what, let's find a way to get away from this 'Soul-Thrall Sky-Covering Array' first!"

His eyes patrolled the Sheng Mansion, and his eyes suddenly caught sight of "something", which was the dead body of Coir Tiger.

He Ping discovered one thing at this time, that is, the head of the tiger corpse was obviously blown off, but the body was intact in the burning flames.

"The fur of this Coir Tiger monster is somewhat special. It is invulnerable to water and fire. Even explosives alone may not be able to hurt it. If Spirit-Exploding Witch Puppet hadn't used a trick to get into its mouth and blow off its head, it would probably be difficult to deal with it."

Suddenly an idea came to his mind, he shook his hands and pulled out silk threads, and connected them to the tiger corpse's limbs from the air.

Suddenly, the headless tiger corpse started to move, and its limbs moved stiffly a few times, like a puppet with strings attached to it. It propped up its limbs and was regaining control of its hands and feet bit by bit.

"It works!"

He Ping was a little excited. The tiger corpse was swaying under his control, its fur was shaking, and it was perfectly fine when reflected in the firelight.

"Let's go!"

He Ping controlled the tiger corpse and started running, rushing towards the burning man as if he was flying.

Sheng Qingzhi was caught off guard and was caught by Coir Tiger corpse's claws and fell to the ground. This also stimulated the infinite flame power of "Undead Abomination"'s physical strength. In the dazzling red light, an almost out-of-control fire exploded, and countless sand and stones on the ground were blown away.

Bang!

An invisible impact force almost knocked Coir Tiger's corpse away, but under the control of He Ping, it suppressed the burning man on the ground.

"Senior brother, use 'Red-Scaled Earth-Armored Centipede Dragon' quickly, let's work together to break through this formation!"

He Ping roared.

Chixinzi Hearing this, he immediately understood in his heart.

"Okay!"

He responded loudly and manipulated the thread with his fingers.

There was a loud bang, and the ground behind Coir Tiger corpses and Sheng Qingzhi cracked open. A red-armored centipede sprang out of its head and clamped Sheng Qingzhi's skinny body with two huge jaws like iron pincers. The burning man's whole body was blazing, and his skull-like head opened its mouth and let out a silent cry.

The next moment, Sheng Qingzhi stretched out a withered claw-like palm and pressed it against the head of the red-armored centipede. With a sizzling sound, "Armor-Clad Spirit Light" was pierced by the five fingers like a paper lake. Immediately, the centipede's head shell forged with fine gold and copper stone quickly melted.

However, this could not stop the red-armored centipede from using its huge power to clamp Pyro's body between its fangs and forcefully push him to move on the ground.

At the same time, the corpse of the tiger demon was also controlling Sheng Qingzhi with its powerful claws. The tiger claws, which were not afraid of the heat of the flames, burst out with great force. The red armored centipede and the corpse of the tiger demon concentrated their power together. The fire man could no longer resist and was pushed to the edge of "Soul-Thrall Sky-Covering Array".

Boom!

The burning man covered in flames was pushed directly to the flashing formation at the back. Under the combined force of the red-armored centipede and the tiger demon corpse, Sheng Qingzhi's body hit the formation. With a loud noise, the moxibustion-heated flames burst out. With a trembling sound, "Soul-Thrall Sky-Covering Array" formed a ghost pattern barrier and cracked, and the monstrous flames rushed to the outside world.

On this day, Suian City faced an unprecedented fire disaster in the middle of the night.
