354: Do you remember that I reminded you?

Instantly, a giant, paint black Medicine Cauldron appeared above her head.

"Fall!"

Yao Xingji pointed a finger at Huo Zhi.

Whoosh!

The Medicine Cauldron, easily over a dozen zhang in size, whistled out.

A large shadow covered them, and the petals of the Fire Lotus retracted into a bud shape.

"Pfft..."

Huo Zhi trembled violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The color of the Fire Lotus also faded slightly.

"Let's see how many hits you can take."

Yao Xingji once again commanded the Medicine Cauldron to smash down.

Huo Zhi actively distanced herself from him, but dragging her injured body, and still needing to maintain the Fire Lotus's defense, her speed simply couldn't be fully unleashed.

Furthermore, Huo Zhi didn't dare to use her full speed.

Moving at full speed within the Sky Tomb consumed a great deal of Qi, and without the Fire Lotus's defense, she believed she would quickly be killed by Yao Xingji.

After rushing out for over a hundred meters, the shadow above her head once again descended.

The Fire Lotus violently shook, falling to the ground along with Huo Zhi.

At this moment, Huo Zhi and Yao Xingji both looked in a certain direction.

At the edge of the sky, dense energy converged into a terrifying hurricane, sweeping rapidly towards them with a dreadful roar.

"It's actually the Sky Tomb's Great Storm! This is simply heaven helping me!"

Yao Xingji was stunned for a moment, then a look of intense joy appeared on his face.

In contrast, Huo Zhi's already pale face was now covered in despair.

The Sky Tomb's Great Storm was a natural disaster within the Sky Tomb, possessing immense power.

There were records from ancient clan members who had entered in the past.

Each time the Sky Tomb's Great Storm appeared, even a Peak Dou Zun caught within it would surely die.

Generally, such a storm would only appear once every many years, and could be avoided by promptly taking shelter.

"Huo Zhi, obediently hand over the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and I can give you a swift end."

Yao Xingji was confident of victory at this moment; once the Great Storm formed, its momentum was vast, and unless someone was insane, no one would dare to come this way.

He wasn't worried at all about Huo Xuan rushing over now.

However.

His smugness didn't last long.

Because Huo Zhi actually withdrew her Fire Lotus defense and rushed towards the Great Storm with all her might.

"Even if I die, I won't let you get the Red Lotus Karma Fire!"

Huo Zhi's expression was resolute.

"Damn it, if you want to die, don't drag me into it! Quickly hand over the Heavenly Flame!"

Yao Xingji was stunned for a moment before reacting, and also chased after her, "There's still time! As long as I kill her and take the Heavenly Flame before the storm gets too close, I can leave!"

In the Void Realm, two flames, one red and one black, trailed behind them, uncharacteristically shooting towards the Great Storm.

"Stop! I told you to stop!"

"Huo Zhi, we can renegotiate!"

"I won't kill you anymore, Huo Zhi, I apologize. I was blinded by greed before, I don't want your Heavenly Flame, please stop quickly."

Listening to the voice behind her, Huo Zhi didn't turn back, a sneer appearing on her pale face.

She wasn't a three-year-old child and wouldn't be deceived by such poor words.

If you want it so badly, then go into the Great Storm and get it yourself!

Perhaps realizing that words couldn't sway Huo Zhi's attitude, Yao Xingji's expression turned ferocious as he continuously launched attacks at Huo Zhi ahead.

However.

The closer they got to the Great Storm, the denser the energy became, and the stronger the pressure.

The obstacles Yao Xingji could create for Huo Zhi were few and far between, and the distance between them never closed.

The energy storm that filled the heavens and earth became increasingly clear, and the rumbling roar made their eardrums ache.

Wherever the storm passed, space completely collapsed, revealing a pitch-black scene, extremely terrifying and oppressive.

"If only I had known there were so few Sky Tomb energy bodies, I wouldn't have come in in the first place."

Although she had made the decision to die, when Huo Zhi truly faced death, she couldn't help but feel a hint of regret.

If not for the scarcity of energy bodies, she wouldn't have chased after them, thus falling into an ambush and getting injured, and wouldn't have been targeted by this beast, Yao Xingji.

"Red Lotus, are you also afraid of the Black Storm?"

Huo Zhi noticed the abnormality of the Heavenly Flame within her body and couldn't help but murmur.

At this moment, she could already feel a suction force emanating from the storm, pulling at her.

Huo Zhi, who was already at her limit, slowly closed her eyes and fell into a coma.

"Hmm? Her speed has slowed down!"

Yao Xingji felt the pulling force of the storm and was initially prepared to give up, but seeing Huo Zhi's figure floating like willow catkins ahead, he fell into hesitation once more.

"I'll risk it!"

Ultimately, the longing for the Heavenly Flame overcame his reason. He gritted his teeth and still rushed forward.

Huo Zhi's figure grew closer and closer, and the overwhelming storm became increasingly clear.

His face was stinging from the wind, and his eyes were somewhat difficult to open, requiring Dou Qi to cover them.

"Almost there, just a little more!"

Yao Xingji's eyes only held Huo Zhi's figure; thinking of soon possessing the Red Lotus Karma Fire, his body trembled with excitement.

"Hmm?"

Just then, an arm appeared without warning, and in front of Yao Xingji, pulled Huo Zhi away.

Yao Xingji was instantly dumbfounded.

How could this be?

This was the Sky Tomb's Great Storm, how could someone come out of it?

He looked up, fixed his gaze, and the pupils in his eyes instantly constricted to pinprick size, exclaiming in shock: "Lin Xiu?! How is it you?!"

Across from him, Lin Xiu appeared silently, his single hand supporting Huo Zhi's waist, standing firm and unmoving despite the raging Great Storm.

"We meet again."

Lin Xiu looked at him, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth, "Do you remember what I reminded you? It's normal for people to die in the Sky Tomb, so be careful."

"Lin Xiu! You can't kill me, I'm from the Yao Clan! If you touch me, my grandfather won't let you off! He's a Dou Sheng, and I have something he left behind..."

Yao Xingji's expression instantly changed from smugness to terror, his eyes trembling uncontrollably.

However.

He didn't even finish his sentence before he stopped.

The expression on his face also remained frozen in that moment of terror.

The fierce wind howled, and Yao Xingji's body was scattered like yellow sand.

The only things left were a flickering cluster of black flame and the naring clutched in Lin Xiu's hand.

Lin Xiu gestured with one hand in the Void Realm, then pointed at the Nine Nether Wind Flame, "Flame Soul Separation Technique!"

The flame shook violently, as if struggling.

But in the end, a wisp of light was separated from it by Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu opened his mouth and inhaled the flame, then flicked the light with a finger into the darkness deep within the storm behind him.

After he finished, he looked at Huo Zhi, whose head was slumped against his chest, and thought for two seconds.

"Heavenly Flame or ally, I'll still choose ally."

Lin Xiu exhaled, then quickly left the Great Storm's range with Huo Zhi... In front of the giant energy light curtain connecting heaven and earth, streaks of light shot from afar.

As these light figures approached, they successively revealed their forms.

"Big Brother Gu Qingyang, why aren't you going in? The energy storm is about to arrive."

Xun'er landed on the ground, her gaze falling upon a young man in a green robe.

Gu Qingyang first glanced at Xiao Yan beside Xun'er, then helplessly swept his gaze over the light curtain, "The light curtain has solidified. To enter the third layer, we must forcefully break through it."

He then looked at the two of them, "How have things been? Have you encountered any trouble recently?"

Xun'er shook her head, "Only one person from the Soul Clan came in. We met once, but after Xiao Yan Ge-ge and I repelled him, he hasn't shown up again..."

As she spoke, she and Xiao Yan shifted their gaze, and Gu Qingyang and the others also looked over.

A dark shadow darted, rapidly approaching, revealing Hun Li's figure.

"You still dare to show your face."

Xiao Yan's killing intent instantly flared, his gaze fixed on him.

If Gu Qingyang hadn't raised his arm to block him, he would have already made a move.

Gu Qingyang met Xiao Yan's gaze, "Breaking through the light curtain passage consumes a lot of energy. One more person means one more help. Otherwise, entering the third layer might make it difficult to deal with unexpected situations."
