Just as Sikong Yi reached for Nie Li, Nie Li had already flung a throwing knife from his hand.
"Aah!"
Sikong Yi screamed as the blade pierced straight through his palm!
The throwing knife returned to Nie Li's hand. What else could it have been but Red Flame?
Duan Jian returned to Nie Li's side, his eyes fixed fiercely on Sikong Yi.
His first priority now was to protect Nie Li!
Nie Li looked at the guards originally stationed in Bright Village, who had now surrounded them, and said, "Sikong Yi, today, I'll open your eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Li's body began to float upward.
Then he formed seals with both hands.
Eight Stone Pillars began to glow, and the runes carved into them lit up as well.
"Patriarch Sikong, welcome to the Thunderfire Killing Array."
The Thunderfire Killing Array drew upon the Divine Thunder Killing Array and the Earthfire Killing Array within the Ten Thousand Demons Demon Spirit Array. Nie Li had recombined them to create the Thunderfire Killing Array.
It was constructed around the Thunderflame Shadow-Burning Fan he had found in the City Lord's Mansion's treasury.
Looking at those eight enormous Stone Pillars, Sikong Yi instantly recalled the Ten Thousand Demons Demon Spirit Array that had once been shown on the Sky Screen.
Was this any different from that killing array?
Nie Li: "Of course. This looks like two arrays, but it's actually two in one."
"Duan Jian, enter the array. I'll cover you. Everyone else, please guard the perimeter of the Thunderfire Killing Array in case Sikong Yi breaks out and starts killing people."
Ye Ming nodded and sent the others to arrange their defenses, while he stayed behind to watch in person.
"Thundercrystal Demon Ape."
As Nie Li spoke the name-
"Roar!"
