Chapter 406: Tiandu Corpse Flame
The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed sharply upon hearing the elder’s words, a look of disbelief spreading across his face.
“Could it be that you have mastered that demonic technique?” His voice trembled with fear.
“It’s better that you guess correctly. If you obediently surrender now, I might spare your life. Otherwise, you should already know the consequences without me having to spell them out.” The elder spoke as he extended his palm, and with a faint sizzling sound, a pitch-black flame ball floated above it.
“Tiandu Corpse Flame! You’ve finally mastered it.” The middle-aged man’s complexion turned pale, his voice hoarse with shock as if barely able to speak.
Seeing this, the Supreme Patriarch of Extreme Yin sneered coldly, then suddenly turned to Zi Ling Immortal Maiden and the others, arrogantly declaring:
“Listen carefully. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll spare your lives! As long as you swear loyalty to Extreme Yin Island from now on, you can continue to roam freely. But you must faithfully carry out the orders I give, or your soul and body will be utterly destroyed. Now, hand over one-third of your primordial spirits on these Forbidden Divine Talismans, and you may leave in peace.” After speaking, he reached into his robe and pulled out several pitch-black wooden talismans, glaring coldly at everyone.
Han Li and the other cultivators exchanged uneasy glances.
No one was foolish enough to step forward to accept the talisman, nor dared to boldly refuse it. Out of respect for the elder’s reputation, the scene fell into silence.
To be precise, among the core formation stage cultivators on Zi Ling Immortal Maiden’s side, aside from Han Li and Quhun, there was only a cultivator surnamed Meng and a hooked-nosed cultivator invited by Zhuo Ruting. The others, including Zi Ling Immortal Maiden and Madam Fan, were all in the mid to late foundation establishment stage.
Meanwhile, the Old Fiery Demon had long since silently released the three Hidden Death Sect cultivators who had been trapped inside the dark clouds. He remained quiet within the black mist.
“It seems you intend to be completely destroyed, body and soul. Fine, I’ll grant your wish!” The Supreme Patriarch’s expression turned icy and sinister as he spoke.
Just then, the hooked-nosed cultivator behind Zhuo Ruting suddenly transformed into a streak of yellow light, shooting backward into the sky. Zhuo Ruting’s eyes flashed with anger and shock as the figure quickly disappeared dozens of yards away, his cold snort faintly heard.
“Hmph! Feng Mou neither wishes to oppose the elder nor be controlled by anyone. I’ll leave first.”
In just a few words, the yellow blades flew another dozen yards away at an astonishing speed!
Seeing this, the Supreme Patriarch of Extreme Yin’s eyes gleamed fiercely. The hand holding the black fireball lightly tossed it towards the yellow blades’ direction. The black fireball flickered several times before transforming into a slender black rainbow and vanished without a trace.
Everyone else was baffled, but Han Li’s expression suddenly tightened.
At the same time, a scream came from the yellow blades far off, abruptly transforming into a strange ball of black flame. The fire quickly shrank and disappeared until only a dim throwing knife magical artifact remained, with no other traces.
“Gasp!” Han Li involuntarily swallowed cold air.
The speed of that black flame’s disappearance was unbelievably fast!
Han Li reckoned that if he were farther away and fully focused, he might have had a chance to evade it, but within twenty or thirty yards, there was absolutely no way to dodge.
Moreover, the power of that black flame, capable of reducing a person to ashes, far surpassed the “Qingyang Demonic Flame” of the six demon sects. It was definitely beyond the defense of ordinary magical treasures.
Realizing that the enemy could kill him at any moment, Han Li’s lips went dry, and his heart pounded violently.
