All of a sudden, Ji Bo Wen roared. “Jun Mo Xie, come out! Come out for this daddy! If you’re a man, roll out here for this daddy! You spineless bastard, only knowing how to use underhanded methods!”
As a Saint Monarch, when had Ji Bo Wen ever lost himself like this before? But this time, he couldn’t endure no matter what!
When he happened to look down, he discovered the strange situation in the pit. Originally, Xia Chang Tian and him had the same thought: No matter how many strange tricks you have, you can’t threaten us. Even the weakest among our experts are at the Saint level of cultivation; how can they be burned to death by a bunch of fire? That would be the greatest joke in the world!
Even if you can conjure more water, what of it? At best, you can suppress them for a moment. They won’t die. Can you maintain it for a long time? The moment the water’s force slows down, everyone would be able to charge out in an instant! At that time, their strength will still be completely unaffected! With just you alone, even if you have more magical abilities, could it be that you can take on all 47 people at once?
Not to mention a mere Jun Mo Xie, even Gu Han would not be able to do that!
But in that brief moment that he looked down, he discovered that the water had already stopped, but no one had come out. When he looked closer, he received the greater shock!
Xuan Ice! It was all Xuan Ice!
How did Xuan Ice appear in a place like this? One had to know, the volcanoes were still erupting in the background, and the temperature was so suffocating that it threatened to bake people alive. But Xuan Ice actually appeared here? Ji Bo Wen could scarcely believe his eyes. But when he looked harder again, he couldn’t help but exclaim with shock!
In just the mere blink of an eye, the Xuan Ice had turned into Essence of Ice!
Facing this unimaginable miracle, Ji Bo Wen only had one thought—finished!
Those 40 people down there were basically finished already! Unless Jun Mo Xie suddenly had a change of heart and released them, it was likely that only a few people would be able to come out alive from that pit!
The moment they were trapped in the Essence of Ice, they were already most likely doomed! To be frozen together with their brothers beside them, no one would dare to move even a finger!
Any rash movements would cause the damage to spread to their own brothers!
Right now, the Essence of Ice had already solidified, and there were no dangers for the moment. But any sudden movements or outside energy would cause the ice to shatter, and countless ice shards as sharp as divine swords would instantly tear everyone apart!
If everyone wrapped their Xuan Qi around themselves, they might be able to shatter a portion of the Essence of Ice, but there was no way they could break it completely at once! And those shattered Essence of Ice would not just disappear. They would turn into tiny lethal weapons with insane killing threat!
Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen both turned pale at the same time!
They finally understood Jun Mo Xie’s sinister intentions!
And also just how terrible his retribution was!
His voice reverberated through the air, but Jun Mo Xie didn’t make any form of reply.
But at this time, the Flame of Primal Chaos had already begun to fall. Although it was slow, it did not deviate from its path.
In truth, this slow descent was that most agonizing part, far more cruel than a swift chop to the neck with a knife!
Right now, Xia Chang Tian once again had an ominous feeling.
An extremely ominous feeling!
The black flames that were only several chi above his head now, actually brought him an indescribable ominous feeling of death! As a powerful Saint Monarch, it had already been an extremely long time since he’d felt such a thing!
With a loud clang, he unsheathed his sword and swung it upwards, infusing his strongest Xuan Qi and blasting it out. The sword ray instantly extended to three zhang , sweeping right towards the Flame of Primal Chaos!
The ball of flame continued falling slowly and such a powerful sword Qi that could even tear the air apart did not manage to affect the Flame of Primal Chaos! Its speed was unchanged, and it continued drifting down in a straight line.
Xia Chang Tian’s eyes shrank, and all the hairs on his body stood up on its ends!
What the hell is this thing?
Even if that sword slice of his wouldn’t be able to slice a small mountain cleanly into two, it would still be able to take off a huge chunk from that mountain! But that strange little ball of black flame actually was not affected at all?
That… that is too scary!
The ball of flame continued to fall, coming nearer and nearer…
Xia Chang Tian gritted his teeth and once again tightened his grip around his sword. Then, he slowly approached the flame.
High in the air, the sharp cry of a sword rang out.
If one listened closely, it wouldn’t be hard to hear the thick tone of mockery.
The only sword that could behave in such a human-like manner was the Blood of Yellow Flame. This old master flew through the air, appearing extremely lively and excited.
The meaning of that sword cry was very simple: Are you an idiot? Didn’t you see that even this old master needs to stay far away from that flame? And you even went to touch it with your sword? Truly not knowing the meaning of death. This old master feels sorry for your sword ah…
Xia Chang Tian’s sword came into contact with the Flame of Primal Chaos and actually did not meet with any resistance at all.
Seeing this, Xia Chang Tian loosed a breath of relief. Infusing a wisp of Xuan Qi, he moved to dispel this ball of fire!
But as he did that, he realized that the ball of flame was still burning slowly around the sword, not having any changes at all.
The thing that’d truly changed was that sword…
The sword…
All of a sudden, Xia Chang Tian shivered, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!
That was a sword that had accompanied him for nearly 4,000 years! But now… it’d actually become shorter!
What is going on? Why did it lose a section of blade?!
The Flame of Primal Chaos continued to burn slowly and gracefully, travelling along the blade. Nothing changed from the places that it passed; there was no smoke, and no burnt marks. Nothing… there were absolutely nothing!
The only thing that changed was that the sword had already shortened to half its original length!
The sword hadn’t disappeared… it’d been burned off! In just a short moment of touching the flame, half of it had already been burned off?!
“What the hell is this thing!” Cold sweat instantly appeared all over Xia Chang Tian’s body as he looked at the sword that’d almost burned to the hilt. Coming to his senses, he hurriedly flung the sword away as if it were a cursed item.
Ji Bo Wen also tried similar methods to stop the Flame of Primal Chaos, but was also met with the same situation. The sword that had accompanied him was similarly destroyed just like that. Noticing each other’s panicked expression, a look of extreme fear began to appear in their eyes.
The two of them had guarded the battlefield for over 3,000 years now, and no matter what hardships they faced or how many strange races experts were standing before them, they had never felt a single bit of fear before. But in this moment, the two of them were actually filled with terror!
But the Flame of Primal Chaos did not care if they were scared or not. At this time, it’d already arrived right above their heads!
Shrieking with fright, the two instantly dove downwards, unleashing all their strength as Saint Monarchs. With a speed that far surpassed their normal standards, they instantly sped out of the hundred zhang area, appearing outside of the range of the Flame of Primal Chaos.
As they watched the flames falling steadily into the mouth of the pit, the two’s faces were the same color as dead ashes!
Because one thing was certain now. The 40 brothers down there in the pit were truly going to be in danger. This was something that none of them could do anything about!
“This thing is called the Flame of Primal Chaos. The two of you probably haven’t seen it before?” Jun Mo Xie’s voice drifted over in an illusory manner, sounding somewhat lethargic. Coughing lightly, he continued. “The Flame of Primal Chaos is somewhat different from other fires in that it exists apart from the five elements and isn’t countered by them. In other words, water would burn if it comes into contact with it, and so would wood, metal, etc… In this world, there isn’t anything the Flame of Primal Chaos cannot burn. That naturally includes the human body. Even things like Xuan Qi and souls are not an exception. This should be a rather accurate description, because I’ve yet to find anything that cannot be burned by it yet!”
Jun Mo Xie explained patiently in great detail.
The moment those words came out, the seven great experts that heard it instantly turned pale as they looked towards the pit with fear and anxiousness!
Gu Han, Mo Wu Dao, and the rest who were watching the battle from a distance, also sighed with great sorrow. Everyone’s eyes were trembling, and their faces were white!
“Jun Mo Xie you bastard, where are you? Come out! Come out this instant for me!” Xia Chang Tian roared with rage. All the proud demeanor of a Saint Monarch expert had already disappeared without a trace long ago, and he only sounded hysterical!
“Jun Mo Xie, quickly dismiss that fire and let my brothers out!” Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen hollered, their voices filled with extreme panic!
At this moment, the two of them could be said to be akin to pigs being dangled above a boiling pot of oil!
These experts were all brothers who’d known each other for an extremely long time. Even the shortest time was a few hundred years!
There were even some who’d been brothers for thousands of years, braving blood and fire together! Seeing them falling into such a predicament, their hearts winced with pain to the point where even their souls trembled!
“Is it very painful? To only be able to watch by the side while your brothers are in danger and facing death? Does it feel good? Is it very enjoyable?”
A white shadow flashed as Jun Mo Xie’s figure finally appeared in the sky, looking emotionlessly at Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen with his cold eyes.
