Chapter 730: Grand Profound Bagua Diagram
Below, the burly men with shaved eyebrows showed expressions of concern. They knew that since Elder Ma had taken out that scroll painting to confront the enemy, it couldn't be a mere bluff with no effect.
Sure enough, at the center of the sea of fire, Elder Ma formed hand seals, and the image on the scroll before him suddenly shifted so that the horizontal side faced upwards. Then white light flashed, and a roaring wind rose. A white misty column of wind shot straight up from the Bagua Diagram, rapidly spreading outwards to over ten yards around.
The surrounding flames were swept up by the wind column like a bamboo cutting through reeds. In an instant, nearly half of the vast sea of fire diminished.
At Elder Ma’s furious roar, a silver rainbow shot out from the wind pillar, rushing directly at Kuyao on the opposite side, who paid no attention to the Fire Flood Dragon circling above his head.
It seemed Elder Ma was well aware that wounding Kuyao would greatly reduce the Fire Flood Dragon’s power, as the dragon shared a mental connection with him.
Kuyao’s face remained expressionless, though the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He raised one hand.
A red throwing knife shot forth from his palm, transforming into a streak of red light that met the silver rainbow head-on.
The throwing knife was crystal clear and bright red, dazzling to the eye. It instantly intercepted the silver rainbow, and the two clashed fiercely midair.
The red and silver lights intertwined, indistinguishable from one another as they battled fiercely.
Seeing this, a cold gleam flashed in Kuyao’s eyes. He flipped both hands, and two small red banners about an inch long appeared, glowing brightly in his palms.
He raised the small banners into the air, and with a sharp “zila” sound, the banners billowed in the wind, growing to about a yard tall.
Muttering a low incantation that was difficult to understand, the red light around the banners flared brilliantly. Two thick pillars of fire shot out from the banners, merging just above the Fire Flood Dragon’s head.
Vast clouds of fire began to take shape, faint yet solidifying in form.
“Go!”
Kuyao’s chant ceased, and he opened his mouth to spew out a burst of red spiritual energy, directly hitting the dragon above his head.
The Fire Flood Dragon’s spirit surged. With a long, dragon-like roar shaking its head and swishing its tail, it dove into the fire clouds.
The crimson fire clouds churned violently, then rapidly diminished.
Han Li, who was watching below, narrowed his eyes as a blue light flashed in his pupils.
Using his Clear Spiritual Eye technique, he was surprised to discover the Fire Flood Dragon hiding within the clouds, voraciously inhaling the surrounding fire clouds.
In the blink of an eye, the fire clouds were completely devoured by the dragon. Its body rapidly expanded, inflating like a balloon to over ten yards in length. Its head grew as large as a house, fangs bared, terrifying and fierce.
At this moment, the white misty hurricane and the surrounding sea of fire vanished entirely, revealing an elderly cultivator with an ethereal and majestic bearing.
Elder Ma grasped the Bagua Diagram tightly with both hands, coldly glancing at the massive and fearsome dragon, then without a word, tossed the scroll upward.
It transformed into a streak of rosy light that shot straight into the high clouds and disappeared as if flying beyond the heavens.
Kuyao was momentarily stunned by this.
But in that brief hesitation, an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy appeared above his head. Then, strands of five-colored spiritual light descended from the sky, and suddenly an enormous Bagua Diagram materialized amid the rosy glow, covering dozens of yards around and dropping down unabashedly.
Kuyao’s face changed drastically. Without further thought, he pointed at the dragon above his head.
The giant dragon immediately raised its thick neck, and a blazing red pillar of light spewed violently from its mouth, hitting the bottom of the Bagua Diagram.
