427: Turning host into guest

"Flame Soul Separation Technique!"

Lin Xiu pointed a finger, as if his words commanded the Dao.

Buzz!

The long halberd, formed by milky-white flames, suddenly stopped.

It was less than three fingers' distance from Lin Xiu.

Even if it moved a tiny bit further, the sharp Qi on the long halberd might pierce Lin Xiu's skin.

But...

The long halberd stopped!

Starting from its tip, the milky-white flames shattered inch by inch, and the long halberd transformed into streams of fiery liquid.

"How is this possible?!"

Pure Lotus Demon Fire's face showed a look of horror. He couldn't understand why his own flames wouldn't obey his control.

Without warning, an extreme sense of danger surged from the depths of his Soul.

Boom!

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire exploded, splitting into thousands of parts, like countless living fire snakes, darting erratically.

Some people were accidentally struck by the flames and were incinerated into nothingness before they could even scream.

At this moment, Soul Demon Elder, Yao Wangui, and others wore solemn expressions, their eyes covered with a layer of shock. When they looked at Lin Xiu, they felt as if a thick, mysterious veil enveloped him.

The anticipated scene of the Demon Fire defeating Lin Xiu simply didn't occur!

In fact, in just one exchange, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was actually scared away.

Such a thing, whether it was Gu Nanhai, Xiao Chen, or Xiao Xuan, left them dumbfounded, something they had never witnessed.

That was the Pure Lotus Demon Fire! Its Realm might be Six-star, approaching Seven-star Dou Saint.

Xiao Xuan felt that if he were to face the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, he would find it troublesome.

Because the deterrent power of an Otherworldly Flame was no joke.

But Lin Xiu only used one move!

"It really is that move!"

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, the master and disciple, showed nostalgic expressions in their eyes, subconsciously recalling their first encounter with Lin Xiu.

It seemed that time, they were competing for an auction item in the forest, and Yao Chen, not wanting to miss it, used the Bone Chilling Flame against Lin Xiu.

At that time, Lin Xiu's Realm was also weaker than his.

However, when the Bone Chilling Flame met Lin Xiu, it was as if it had met its nemesis, unable to unleash any power.

Countless fire snakes darted about, and everyone activated their Dou Qi for defense.

At this moment, one cluster of milky-white flames seemed somewhat different from the rest.

It appeared inconspicuous among the many flames, but if you truly cast your gaze upon it, you would feel that it was extraordinary.

"It's the Demon Fire Origin!"

Yao Wangui was first startled when he saw that cluster of flames approaching, then his face became excited. He quickly formed hand Seals, and then a ball of light carrying a Seal shot out.

The cluster of flames seemed to sense danger, twitched twice, stopped its forward momentum, and turned to flee.

But the light ball was very fast and enveloped it.

"It was captured so easily?"

Seeing the flames trapped, Yao Wangui felt like he was dreaming, it felt extremely unreal.

However, his movements were not slow at all; he prepared to collect the light ball.

"Get lost, you four-star Dou Saint trash!"

Suddenly, Soul Demon Elder's figure flashed out, raising a palm to strike Yao Wangui.

Boom!

Violent energy surged from his palm, forming substantial ripples that spread out.

"Medicinal God Cauldron!"

With a low shout, an ancient, large cauldron's phantom appeared on the surface of Yao Wangui's body.

Clang!

The energy struck the cauldron, and a crisp sound resonated. Yao Wangui was sent flying back a hundred meters, his eyes gloomy.

He wasn't injured, but the Demon Fire Origin had been snatched away.

"Young Clan Leader, hurry and leave!"

Soul Demon Elder flashed a hint of glee, glanced at the Demon Fire Origin in his hand, and shouted to Hun Feng.

"Do you truly think that you are the strongest here...?"

Soul Demon Elder suddenly heard a whisper from behind him and turned his head.

The black-robed man had appeared at some unknown time.

"Soul Demon!"

Countless black mists surged from Soul Demon Elder's body, converging into a silhouette resembling him. This figure then split into four.

"Mere parlor tricks."

Xiao Xuan said disdainfully, flicking his fingers a few times, and those black mist figures exploded one after another.

"Haha, you fell for it!"

In the distance, Soul Demon Elder's figure reappeared, a smug look on his face.

However, his laughter quickly stopped.

His gaze, which had been fixed on the Demon Fire Origin in the other party's hand, slowly retracted, falling to his own palm.

It was empty there.

"Damn it! Realm suppression is truly unbearable!"

Soul Demon Elder roared in a low voice. Space shifting silently for those above Six-star Dou Saint was simply impossible to guard against. A moment of inattention, and the opponent would take it.

"Lin Xiu, catch this."

Xiao Xuan tossed out the Demon Fire Origin.

Watching the Demon Fire Origin get closer and closer, Lin Xiu crossed his arms, staring coldly.

The next second, a scene that astonished Soul Demon Elder and Yao Wangui appeared.

Boom!

The so-called Seal directly exploded, and the Demon Fire Origin rushed out from within.

"It wasn't sealed? No, that's not right! It deliberately pretended to be sealed, wanting us to fight amongst ourselves!"

Yao Wangui's thoughts blurted out, and his face instantly turned pale.

Because he had just been thinking of secretly taking the Pure Lotus Demon Fire away.

If he had actually done that and hadn't been stopped by Soul Demon Elder, then he would probably be dead by now.

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire's Realm was definitely not something he could resist.

"It was a disguise..."

Soul Demon Elder froze for a moment. He hadn't expected it. He had originally thought that because Lin Xiu had injured the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, it had weakened, which was why it could be sealed by trash like the Yao Clan.

In the distance.

Xiao Xuan, who had thrown the Demon Fire, froze for a moment, a fierce light appearing in his eyes. It was a good thing he had thrown it to Lin Xiu; if he had thrown it to Xiao Yan or Xiao Chen, he would surely have harmed them.

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire transformed back into the white-robed man, his gaze gloomy, fixed on Lin Xiu.

He felt that the other party's gaze, when looking at him, was like looking at a clown.

All of his previous methods, the other party seemed to have known about them long ago.

This feeling made the Pure Lotus Demon Fire extremely uncomfortable. He was restricted everywhere, and the other party also had a mysterious method to restrain Otherworldly Flames.

"I thought this year would be the year of the greatest threat from the Demon Fire, but I didn't expect there to be so many talents."

A figure quietly emerged from the Void Realm.

It was a young child, sitting on the back of a green ox. He looked no different from a child, but his voice was old and deep.

"Old Monster, I knew you would be here. You finally decided to show yourself."

Soul Demon Elder's heart sank. The hand in his sleeve gently gripped a Jade Slip.

"If you didn't appear, I naturally wouldn't have come either."

The green ox herdboy glanced at him indifferently.

There were people from the Pill Tower present. Upon seeing the young child, they all spoke up, calling him Old Ancestor.

Lin Xiu observed the other party.

He could now refine Medicinal Pills of similar quality, but his Realm was definitely not as good as this Medicinal Pill in front of him.

"Everyone is here, are they? You want to Seal me, but have you ever considered that I was actually waiting for you all to appear?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire stood in the center, facing the figures standing around him, a twisted smile appearing on his face.

The green ox herdboy smiled faintly and shook his head, "Pure Lotus Demon Saint's methods are heaven-defying. We just need to stall until the Heaven and Earth Tides end, and then the Seal will naturally recover."

"Do you think I'll just wait quietly?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire sneered.

"Ahem, Ancestor of Pill Tower, you are mistaken. My goal is not to Seal the Demon Fire."

Lin Xiu's voice attracted everyone's attention. "I said I would eliminate the Demon Fire for the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and furthermore, I will refine it."

"Just you? Do you truly think I'm afraid of you?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire looked at Lin Xiu, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Heh heh, your so-called reliance, is it this, right?"

Lin Xiu retorted.

Everyone present was confused, only the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's eyelids twitched slightly, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Boom!

A loud noise suddenly came from space. A massive fire formation, tens of thousands of feet in size, slowly emerged from the Void Realm in the sky.

At the same time, below in the lava sea, a fire formation of the same size also slowly rose.

"Heaven Refining Ancient Formation?! Why? Who are you? Who exactly are you? How can you control the Heaven Refining Ancient Formation?"

When the Pure Lotus Demon Fire saw the two large formations appear, his eyes instantly became dull. After reacting, he completely went mad.

This was his last trump card!

How could someone else have used it first? It was simply an outrageous turn of events!
