"Caw caw..." A shrill laugh rose from within the flames. Along with that laughter, the bloodlines of every cultivator within several miles began to throb uncontrollably. Fairy Hongxia was no exception. As her vital energy and blood surged, the fiery red before her eyes vanished in an instant. Her eyes shifted slightly, and she saw Ye Xixiang's somewhat embarrassed and furious face.
"Whoosh..." Amid the flames shooting into the heavens, a woman several dozen zhang tall flew out, draped in fire. Was she not the Hanba Xiao Hua had seen years ago? By now, this Hanba had shed her ugliness and taken the form of a bewitching woman. Yet she was still so valiant and fierce. With the flames swirling around her, she thrust out both arms and plunged them straight into the sword light Ye Xixiang had laid down with his sword artifact.
"Crack crack crack..." The sword light was extinguished, the sword artifact wailed, and the romantic sea of flowers was smashed to pieces!
"Ye Xixiang..." Xiao Mao followed behind the woman and rushed into the sky, landing beside Fairy Hongxia. He roared, "What are you doing?"
Fairy Hongxia had not fully awakened earlier. Only after Xiao Mao flew out and the Hanba woman shattered the illusion did she completely come to her senses. Disgust rose in her eyes. Her figure drifted down beside Xiao Mao, and she snapped, "Ye Xixiang, you dared plot against this one???"
"Hahaha..." Seeing his scheme ruined, Ye Xixiang was initially ashamed and enraged. Yet moments later, he burst into laughter again. Sword light flickered wildly around his body, and the sword intent of Sword Transformation second grade surged into the sky, forcing Fairy Hongxia to release her pressure in resistance. As for Xiao Mao, he could barely breathe beneath that sword intent!
