The eerie purple flames turned the entire forest into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye!
Moreover, these purple flames seemed to possess intelligence and awareness, as they actively distinguished between friend and foe.
When the weapon of the supreme from the Xiao Family came into contact with the purple flames, it instantly melted into molten iron. Yet, Mo Qingwu and the others, enveloped by the flames, emerged completely unscathed!
The fourth-tier supreme was caught off guard, letting out a scream before being turned into a wisp of green smoke by the flames.
Xiao Wufeng and Xiao Wuting were taken aback, reacting almost simultaneously: they turned and fled!
But then, a strange voice echoed from the purple flames: “What? You force this king to such a point, and now you want to turn and leave? Such a good deal doesn’t come easily!”
Before the voice had faded, two beams of light, like thunder, shot out from the purple flames!
Xiao Wuting leapt forward, covering fifty yards, but the flames pursued him relentlessly, akin to a maggot burrowing into the bone. His leap alone could have cleared three hundred yards!
However, when he reached sixty yards, the purple flames caught up with him!
Suddenly, it was as if there were several huge tentacles within the flames, each with countless suction cups capable of devouring the heavens and earth, firmly holding onto his body!
He let out a desperate scream, struggling with all his might, but the flames held him tightly, lifting him into the air and throwing him violently.
The cold voice said, “Let’s set off a firework first!”
Xiao Wuting shot high into the sky, engulfed in flames, his body soaring a thousand feet high, truly dazzling like a firework.
Especially at the end, with a loud explosion, shooting stars scattered everywhere, adding inexplicable brilliance to the night sky!
From afar, people watched in awe: who is this? They’ve started setting off firecrackers before the new year… but this thing looks really beautiful, maybe we should make one ourselves tomorrow. Just don’t know how…
Xiao Wufeng dared not look back, pouring all his cultivation into escaping.
As he fled, he couldn’t help but slap himself!
I’m such a fool! Really!
I’m just a complete idiot!
Why was I so oblivious? What a tragedy… One can be slow, but one must never be stupid, especially at a critical moment when the mind shorts out. That’s an irreversible calamity; I’ve made such a mistake now…
I should have fled the moment that brat stood up to kill after being beaten into a pulp…
What does that indicate?
Damn it, even if Ning Tianya and Bu Liqing teamed up, being beaten into such a state would surely mean death. Since that guy didn’t die, he must be the legendary Phoenix…
Thinking of the word ‘Phoenix,’ Xiao Wufeng couldn’t help but feel frustrated, slapping his own face again, cursing: “You foolish, stupid idiot! Clearly, I had suspicions back then. Yet, I still put on this pig-like face and acted tough... If I had left earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this…”
As he cursed and ran, he could clearly feel the heat behind him drawing closer, driving him to tears.
At that moment, he truly vented his anger at the traitor from the Chu Family; Xiao Wufeng vowed to the heavens: as long as he could survive today, the first thing he would do is go to the Chu Family to bow his head in apology, then capture that traitor himself, skin him alive in front of the Chu Family, and pour boiling oil all over him, using a cotton thread to string him from head to ass: light the sky lantern!
Even if he had only one breath left, he would have people carry him to do it.
Damn it!
Even if it was a trap, it was not laid out so viciously… Not to mention it was my own trap to deal with them: this was just delivering food!
And it was a feast for them.
Could it be any worse?
Even if your intel is wrong and you overlooked a top assassin, that’s somewhat understandable.
Even if your intel is still off and you didn’t notice a sword master, or perhaps you didn’t receive such news, or you were too blind to see it, that’s still somewhat understandable…
