Chapter 922: Fire Lotus, Slay!

As Little Healer Immortal’s eyes changed color, the space before her suddenly became eerily twisted. The black mist sword, which was rushing like a streak of lightning, slowed down as it traversed this warped space.

“Shadow Poison Hand!”

A voice devoid of emotion emerged gently from Little Healer Immortal’s mouth. Immediately, a vast and imposing gray-purple Dou Qi burst forth from her body, transforming in an instant into two massive Dou Qi hands. These enormous hands lunged forward and firmly grasped the black mist sword.

Facing such resistance, the black mist sword could no longer advance, but the sharp, chilling sword energy at its tip still caused Little Healer Immortal pain through her skin. After devouring Xuan’s soul, Han Xue’s strength had surpassed hers, making it much harder to resist. After all, there was a huge difference between each star level among Battle Sect experts; surpassing one is not easy.

The gray-purple Dou Qi hands and the black mist sword were in a stalemate. A moment later, a cold glint flashed in Little Healer Immortal’s eyes, and her hand seals abruptly changed. A light shout also erupted from her mouth.

With the shout, the Dou Qi hands instantly expanded, grabbing both the tip and the hilt of the sword. The highly corrosive gray-purple Dou Qi wrapped around, then, with a sudden twist, “Crack!” A faint and crisp sound echoed across the sky. The massive black mist sword was actually broken in half by Little Healer Immortal, and the Dou Qi and soul power it contained were quickly corroded by the gray-purple Dou Qi.

“Hmph.” As the black mist sword was ruthlessly destroyed, Han Xue’s body trembled, and a muffled sound came from his throat. With a sinister smile, he said, “I didn’t expect that you, a mere woman, would be so formidable. Though you broke my Soul Sword, I wonder if you fared well under the soul sword’s light?”

Little Healer Immortal’s face remained cold, ignoring Han Xue’s words. Her delicate hands trembled slightly; the strange soul blade nearly ignored her Dou Qi defense, directly attacking her soul. If not for her being a Battle Sect expert with strong soul power, she might have been seriously injured.

The Dou Qi slowly coiled around her jade-like hands, and the painful numbness gradually faded. Little Healer Immortal glanced at Xiao Yan, who was entirely focused on forming the fire lotus. She felt the fire lotus beginning to take shape in his hand and sighed in slight relief.

At this moment, Han Xue also sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from Xiao Yan’s hand. His face changed slightly, and he moved, disappearing from the spot like a teleportation. When he reappeared, he was already near Xiao Yan. However, before he could get any closer, a graceful figure appeared like a parasite in front of him, and sharp, gray-purple nails sliced through the air, aiming for his chest.

Blocked, Han Xue’s heart filled with anger. He shifted his stance, dodged Little Healer Immortal’s attack, and flashed once more towards Xiao Yan. But just as he took a few steps, Little Healer Immortal appeared again, blocking his path. Several attempts later, his face turned a deep, dark color. With a cold roar, powerful Dou Qi surged forth, forming a vast dome in the sky. The wind thundered, driving a cold hurricane toward Little Healer Immortal.

Facing Han Xue’s enraged attack, Little Healer Immortal did not dare to be careless. Her Dou Qi was pushed to the extreme, and the release of her Cursed Poison Body made her Dou Qi even more toxic. This was what Han Xue feared most, so despite having a slight advantage, he didn’t dare to take any reckless actions.

In the sky, two blurry figures flashed like lightning, and ordinary experts couldn’t even track their movements. Only those with keen eyesight could barely lock onto their positions. Not far below the battlefield, Su Qian and Elder Mountain Hawk stood opposite each other. They occasionally engaged but did not use their full strength. Eagle Mountain knew he needed to retreat. Today’s alliance had likely gone up in smoke, and Xiao Yan and his group had an unresolvable grudge with Han Xue. All he wanted was the Bodhi Metamorphosis Saliva, and he didn’t want to get involved in their disputes. So, he did not show his true capabilities when fighting Su Qian, and Su Qian understood this. His goal was to stall Eagle Mountain, not let him interfere in the battle above. Since he was willing to waste time, Su Qian had no objection.

If Han Xue knew that his hard-earned help was playing such games at this critical moment, he would be so angry that his Dou Qi flow would be disrupted. On the square, it was quiet. The strong players invited by both sides hadn’t moved because they knew the real battlefield was above. Their presence was largely symbolic; though they could be a threat if they united, they were unwilling to risk offending a Battle Sect without reason. This was a matter between the Xiao Sect and the Magic Flame Valley, and no one wanted to get dragged in, fearing the consequences if they backed the wrong side. Staying neutral was the safest option.

Many people on the ground secretly wiped their sweat, amazed at the spectacular battle between Battle Sect-level experts. The power they wielded, which could shake space, was what countless people aspired to achieve.

“Boom!”

A powerful energy explosion rang out in the sky, followed by a huge Dou Qi firework and a wave of energy spreading like a hurricane. Two figures, now in a heated battle, were stepping urgently.

Their feet pounded on the void, sending ripples of force through the air. After several steps, Little Healer Immortal finally stabilized, taking a few deep breaths and wiping the blood from her lips. She looked at Han Xue, whose sleeve was torn, with cold eyes.

Compared to Little Healer Immortal, Han Xue looked a bit disheveled, but overall, his injuries were far less severe. After absorbing Xuan’s soul, his strength had surpassed hers.

As her breathing steadied, Little Healer Immortal’s face revealed a cold smile. She could feel a terrifying, raging heat energy behind her, almost fully condensed. Shifting her gaze, she saw Xiao Yan hovering with bone wings, a three-colored fire lotus about a foot in size rotating in his hand. As it rotated, spatial cracks that sent shivers down the spine began to form in the surrounding space.

Seeing Little Healer Immortal’s gaze, Xiao Yan nodded to her, and his lips moved slightly.

Little Healer Immortal blinked, receiving the transmission from Xiao Yan, and nodded subtly.

“Damn it!” As Xiao Yan’s fire lotus formed, Han Xue noticed it, and his face darkened. He cursed inwardly.

Swearing aside, Han Xue’s actions were swift. Knowing the terrifying power of the three-fire lotus, he did not dare to dawdle. A vast, cold black mist surged from his body, engulfing the entire sky within moments. The heavy, chilling layers of black mist made everything feel intensely oppressive.

The black mist enveloped the sky, emitting a wave of cold energy, rolling like a tide. The endless black mist sea was the result of all of Han Xue’s Dou Qi, and its power was formidable.

Gazing at the black mist in the sky, Xiao Yan’s face showed a cold smirk. Raising his sleeve, the three-colored fire lotus flew out of his hand and shot into the black mist.

Little Healer Immortal’s eyes fixed on the flying fire lotus. As it passed over her head, she bit her tongue and spat a splash of purple-tinged blood, which adhered to the fire lotus.

“Quick, retreat!” On the square, Xiao Li, seeing the fire lotus fly out, hastily pulled Zi Yan and swiftly retreated, knowing the terrifying power it contained.

Upon hearing Xiao Li’s shout, Su Mei and others were momentarily stunned but quickly scrambled back, retreating like rabbits. Some of the stronger leaders and factions on the square joined them, while more cautious ones hesitated, afraid of falling into a trap.

Just as Xiao Li and the others fled the valley, the three-colored fire lotus, trailing a beautiful tail of fire, plunged into the vast, chilling black mist.

“Boom!”

The fire lotus entered the black mist, and silence reigned for a moment. Then, a deafening explosion sounded, and a massive, terrifying fire wave spread out from the center of the black mist. The aftereffects of this fire wave caused the valley to shake, with large cracks spider-webbing across the ground and rocks crashing down. The valley, made of ink steel stones, collapsed in a resounding crash.

Seeing this, the faces of the many strong ones who had not yet left turned instantly pale.
