263: Four-color fire lotus, explodes!

Elder Lian used blood to outline a mysterious rune.

This rune hung above Lin Xiu’s head, emitting a circle of light that enveloped him.

The light carried a strange energy, and Lin Xiu could feel it scanning his body.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu did not stop it; instead, he completely revealed the demon core.

When that circle of energy touched the aura of the demon core, it immediately stopped.

On the rune, a red light surged.

“There really is one! It’s actually a demon core from my clan!”

Elder Lian roared in anger.

It was at this moment that Venerable Skyfire’s aura surged, erupting like a volcano, blasting towards this Elder.

Lin Xiu also launched the attack he had long prepared.

This scene happened so quickly that everyone, even Venerable Feng, didn't react in time.

The previous second, he was still telling Yao Chen that Lin Xiu was so confident, he surely wasn't suspicious.

As a result, the next second, not only did Lin Xiu possess a demon core from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, he even made a move against an Elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Moreover, Yao Tianhuo attacked from the side.

Clearly, this was a premeditated action!

Connecting this to how the other party clearly intended to leave earlier but suddenly sensed the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan’s aura, Venerable Feng immediately guessed that Lin Xiu had even deliberately lured the other party to stay.

Clang!

A dull hum echoed between heaven and earth.

After the dense energy dissipated, a massive bell statue was revealed.

“You possess my clan’s demon core and even attacked me! I now have ample evidence to suspect you; that demon core must have been obtained by killing someone from my clan!”

An angry growl emanated from inside the bell statue, and from the tone, one could imagine Elder Lian’s exasperated appearance within.

He never expected that this young man not only showed no reverence for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan but also set his sights on him.

If not for the demon phoenix bell, he would definitely have been severely injured by that blow!

“Venerable Feng, let’s attack together and kill him!”

Lin Xiu completely ignored him and instead called out to Venerable Feng to join him.

However, Venerable Feng shook his head slightly, made no move, and said nothing.

Offending the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan carried too great consequences. Although he wanted to drink and chat with his old friend, after waiting so many years, waiting a bit longer didn't seem so difficult.

“Hahaha, young man, you know absolutely nothing about the words 'Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan'!”

Elder Lian’s figure emerged from the bell statue, first cupping his hands towards Venerable Feng.

If Venerable Feng had joined, with the demon phoenix bell, he would certainly be fine, but it would undoubtedly be much more troublesome.

“You, a Dou Zun, are actually fighting for a Dou Zong. You will pay the price for your decision!”

He looked at Yao Tianhuo, his killing intent chilling.

“Hmph, do you really think of yourself as a descendant of a Dou Di? You feathered mongrel.”

Since he had already offended them, Yao Tianhuo didn't hold back, saying whatever he wanted. So what if they were the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan? In his era, it wasn't their turn to rule.

“How dare you!”

Elder Lian seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, his figure flashing as he pounced towards Yao Tianhuo.

Bang!

As soon as they clashed, Yao Tianhuo’s figure was sent flying.

Their strengths were clearly not on the same level; Yao Tianhuo had not yet fully recovered to his peak.

Moreover, he had just gone through a battle.

“So he’s just a blustering fellow.”

Elder Lian snorted coldly, his colorful wings spreading out again as he continued his attack.

Lin Xiu hadn't expected Venerable Feng to refuse and stood stunned for a moment.

Alas, he was not Xiao Yan after all, not Yao Chen's Disciple.

If it were Xiao Yan being pressured today, Lin Xiu believed Venerable Feng would definitely not stand by and watch.

He miscalculated. There was a gap between Venerable Skyfire and him; losing was only a matter of time if they continued fighting. He had to do something.

Lin Xiu decided to activate other plans; he always acted with confidence.

Since Venerable Feng wouldn't help, then... his gaze swept towards Feng Qing'er in the distance.

Seeing Lin Xiu look at her, Feng Qing'er’s delicate body trembled. Knowing the gap between her own strength and Lin Xiu’s, she immediately raised the demon phoenix bell, concealing herself within it.

Although the demon phoenix bell couldn't block Lin Xiu, it could at least hold him for a moment, giving Elder Lian time to save her.

It was precisely because she had previously used the Han Family members to restrain Lin Xiu that she immediately guessed Lin Xiu’s thoughts.

“This woman has gotten smarter.”

Lin Xiu pursed his lips, feeling a bit helpless. Then he would switch to another plan.

“Senior, I can’t help.”

Xiao Yan saw Lin Xiu’s figure appear beside him, and after a moment of stunned, he quickly waved his hand.

Venerable Feng stared at Lin Xiu, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the air around him seemed to solidify.

Clearly, as soon as Lin Xiu entertained the thought of using Xiao Yan to threaten him, he would immediately make a move.

Venerable Feng was full of confidence in his own strength, believing that even if Lin Xiu was beside Xiao Yan, he could react and counter him.

“Don’t be nervous, lend me your Azure Lotus Core Flame.”

Lin Xiu chuckled.

“Senior, what do you need a strange flame for?”

Xiao Yan was puzzled but still honestly took out the Azure Lotus Core Flame.

Whether it was at the bottom of the Academy's Qi Refining Tower or the Yunlan Sect, his senior had helped him a lot; he definitely couldn't refuse this favor.

“Your Fire Lotus seems very powerful. If four different flames are fused, do you think it can blow him up?”

Lin Xiu asked with a smile.

“You want to use the Furious Buddha Lotus Flame? Senior, this is very dangerous, and with four different flames, don’t mess around.”

Xiao Yan’s heart tightened. That was something he had stumbled upon himself; every time he released it, he felt uncertain, let alone a combination of four different flames.

“Your Azure Lotus Core Flame is quite obedient.”

Lin Xiu smiled at him, his figure flashing, pulling away from Venerable Feng and the Han Family members.

Subsequently, four different colored strange flames appeared in his hand.

The flames flickered, and upon contact with each other, they burst forth with intense energy, expressing resistance towards Lin Xiu.

“Behave!”

Lin Xiu’s Soul Power surged, forcibly fusing the four flames. His Spirit Realm Soul sensed the only point of balance within.

He had to maintain the four powers at an equal level to ensure the stability of the Fire Lotus.

However, each strange flame had a different intensity, so the concentration of flames mixed in the Fire Lotus also differed.

Lin Xiu took some effort, using his own Fire Spirit and the help of the Flame Soul Separation Technique, to successfully condense the flames.

A flaming lotus, a mixture of silver, green, and blue, quietly floated in Lin Xiu’s palm.

The lotus slowly rotated, and cracks appeared in the surrounding space as it collapsed.

“Venerable Skyfire, hold him off for a bit.”

Yao Tianhuo was being suppressed when Lin Xiu’s voice suddenly rang in his ears. He didn't ask for any reason but unconditionally trusted Lin Xiu’s words.

For a moment, Yao Tianhuo used all his means, and Elder Lian had to take some precautions, his speed immediately slowing down.

Just then, Elder Lian’s eyelids twitched violently, and a sudden bad premonition arose in his heart.

In his peripheral vision, Lin Xiu’s figure appeared.

This young man... Elder Lian showed surprise, not expecting Lin Xiu to dare participate in a Dou Zun’s battle; his courage was truly astonishing.

Then, a flaming lotus, held by Lin Xiu, entered his line of sight.

“Not good!”

An extremely dense aura of death rushed towards him, and Elder Lian’s pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he raised the demon phoenix bell.

But how could Lin Xiu give him this chance?

As soon as he made eye contact with Elder Lian, his lips parted, and he uttered a single word, “Explode!”

Throwing the Fire Lotus towards the opponent, Lin Xiu pulled Yao Tianhuo away, executing the Earth Rank Intermediate Fighting Skill, Six Thousand Thunder Movements, to its limit at this moment.
