"Tsk tsk, after Tian Huo Zun Zhe advanced to Five–Star Dou Zun, the Five Ring Flame Expelling Flame Formation he unleashed is far more terrifying than before. This time Ye Huaicheng took it head-on— even if he's not dead, he'll be seriously injured."
Far away, Lin Feng, who had already retreated a long distance, looked toward the earth-shaking scene in the distance and let out a faint laugh. He hadn't originally planned to kill that guy.
But since that guy wanted to kill him, he couldn't be blamed for turning the tables. Just as Lin Feng was gloating, faint movement suddenly came from within the distant sea of fire.
Next moment, a figure tumbled out of the flames headfirst. Sensing the disturbance, Lin Feng focused his gaze— it was Ye Huaicheng.
"Whizz!"
At that instant, Xiao Yixian suddenly shot another long arrow straight toward the seemingly fallen Ye Huaicheng.
"Damn woman, just you wait."
As if sensing the incoming danger, an illusory figure shot out from Ye Huaicheng's body. It sped rapidly toward the distance. As for the physical body, it was pierced straight through the head by the poisonous arrow.
Clearly, Ye Huaicheng knew that with his grievous injuries he could not withstand Xiao Yixian's Dou Technique. So he abandoned his body and tried to flee.
"Where do you think you're going."
Tian Huo Zun Zhe shouted, and with a wave of his large hand—in an instant, an almost invisible Falling Heart Flame streaked out. It crossed the far sky and enveloped that illusory figure.
"Ah!"
Enshrouded by the strange flame that restrained souls so strongly, the now-soul-only Ye Huaicheng let out a painful wail.
Tian Huo Zun Zhe ignored the cry. He waved his palm again, dragging Ye Huaicheng's soul back and sealing it inside a jade bottle.
"Lin Feng, catch."
With that, he tossed the jade bottle toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng lightly tapped the void with his foot, instantly soaring upward.
He caught the jade bottle containing Ye Huaicheng's soul and slipped it into his storage ring. Then he flew straight toward Ye Huaicheng's corpse.
Grabbing the body still suffused with deadly poison, Lin Feng returned to the group. He stripped the storage ring from Ye Huaicheng's finger, then took out the storage ring of the Qing Mu Mansion's Second Elder from his own robes.
"Catch."
He tossed the rings to Ye Changping.
"Much obliged."
The latter cupped his fists slightly and put the two storage rings away.
At this moment, Tian Huo Zun Zhe also handed back several clusters of flame to Lin Feng. Lin Feng accepted the flames and swallowed them back into his body. Then he turned to Ye Changping and said, "Since it's all settled, we'll take our leave."
After all, this battle had consumed them greatly. And the time limit of his secret art was nearly up. They urgently needed to find a city to rest.
Moreover, after the commotion they had just caused, plenty of people were surely rushing this way. Leaving quickly was the most important thing.
"Everyone, please go ahead."
Hearing his words, Ye Changping cupped his fists. The fierce fight had drained him as well. His thoughts were much the same as Lin Feng's.
Lin Feng and the others left the area at once, flying swiftly toward the nearest city. Far off in the void, a lone figure watched them go.
After a slight hesitation, he ultimately chose not to strike. After all, within his perception many powerful auras were already rushing toward this place.
If he acted now, he wasn't confident he could take these people down quickly. But when he recalled the different Heavenly Flames Lin Feng's group had revealed in battle, excitement made his body tremble.
"Heh heh, heaven truly favors me. To encounter so many Heavenly Flames at once— if I don't seize this chance, I'd be unworthy of the Dou Di secret art in my hands. If I can devour those flames, I can hardly imagine how far my strength will soar."
At that thought, the hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, unable to stay still. Yet as he sensed Lin Feng's group moving farther away, and countless other auras converging from all directions, he forced down his excitement, then vanished in the direction they had gone.
"Hu, finally a city."
After flying at full speed for more than an hour, Lin Feng spotted the cluster of buildings ahead and let out a small breath of relief.
Once inside the city, the group casually found an inn. They immediately began restoring the Dou Qi they had spent.
"Lin Feng, where do you plan to go next?"
After finishing her recovery, Feng Qing'er sat with him on the bed. She looked at her man and asked softly.
"I still have a score to settle with Di Gang City. After that, I'll head to the Central Region. Years ago I made an agreement with the Ye Clan, one of the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower, so I need to visit them. Then I'll go on to Holy Pill City. With so many high-level alchemists there, I can gain access to rarer ingredients and more advanced pill techniques."
Lin Feng laid out his plan. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "When the Pill Tower's Pill Gathering begins, I'll participate. Remember to come and cheer for your husband."
As he spoke, he pulled her soft, delicate body into his arms and teasingly pinched her fair chin. From her earlier words he'd sensed a hint of departure.
If he didn't take the chance to tease her now, who knew how long it would be before he could hold this beautiful body again.
"Mhm."
Feng Qing'er met his eyes, a trace of shyness in her gaze, and nodded lightly.
"By the way, earlier I sensed several different Heavenly Flames within you. Could it be you can keep multiple flames balanced inside your body?"
She recalled the green flame Lin Feng had displayed that split into several distinct Heavenly Flames and quickly asked.
"That's right."
Lin Feng nodded, then gently stroked her smooth purple hair. "The reason I can subdue so many flames is because of a unique cultivation technique. It lets me fuse various beast flames and Heavenly Flames into an entirely new fire. After the fusion, the new flame's power becomes even greater, and my combat strength rises accordingly."
Hearing this, Feng Qing'er said in wonder, "Looks like your adventures are no small thing. A technique that can devour and balance multiple beast flames and Heavenly Flames— even our Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan has never possessed such a thing."
