Chapter 128: Tang Wu's Scheme - Ice Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Ling'er Surrounded! (Part 2)
"
The Ice Emperor warned, "I sense that several Great Abilities have arrived. From their auras, it seems half of them are here for the Foreign Flame."
"The remaining half are not alchemists or Artificers, and they aren't Fire Attribute Cultivators either. They must be those who wish to prevent the rise of the Embrace Moon Sect and want to kill the Heaven's Pride of the Embrace Moon Sect."
"Fortunately, none of them know about the Remnant Soul in Xiao Ling'er's body, so the difficulty in seizing the Remnant Soul shouldn't be too great."
"Therefore, your primary objective is to take the Remnant Soul."
"As for the Foreign Flame..."
"If it's within reach, go for it. If not, leave as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Master."
...
Boom!
Another surge of blue flames rose into the sky, carrying a chilling intent.
Numerous figures stood in the vicinity, their gazes fixed on the spectacle.
Xiao Ling'er stood at a distance, her eyes burning with anticipation.
"Teacher, this fire is definitely a Foreign Flame! The Foreign Flame within my body is resonating, and they all seem very active."
"Indeed, it's the Ice Spirit Cold Flame. But there are many powerful cultivators here, and not a few of them are eyeing us with ill intent. We'll likely face a fierce battle, so you must be cautious."
"I'll keep that in mind," Xiao Ling'er said, taking a deep breath to calm her excitement.
It was indeed the Ice Spirit Cold Flame.
But obtaining it would not be easy.
"Teacher, how are you feeling?"
Xiao Ling'er asked tentatively.
Although she had confidence in her abilities, in such a chaotic battle, it was hard to predict the outcome.
After all, there were several Great Abilities present!
"I'm feeling good," Medicine Elder smiled. "The battle last night didn't exhaust me much, so I can join the fight today."
"Unclaimed Foreign Flames are rare, and since we've encountered one, it's only natural for us, teacher and disciple, to give it our all. If we succeed, your strength will rise to a whole new level!"
"That would be best," Xiao Ling'er sighed in relief.
With the Medicine Elder in good condition and able to fight, she could give it her all!
...
"It's truly a Foreign Flame!"
"Such a chilling intent..."
"Could this be the Ice Spirit Cold Flame that once wreaked havoc in the hands of the Ice Emperor thousands of years ago?"
"It must be!"
"This flame had a notorious reputation back then. The Ice Emperor was a ruthless killer, and in the end, he was besieged by several Great Abilities who were enemies. It's said that a Ninth Realm cultivator took action in that battle, and even several Eighth Realm cultivators at the Fifth Level and above perished. The Ice Emperor also met his end in that fight."
"However, this is happening in the Southwest Region, and I never expected the Ice Spirit Cold Flame to appear here, eight thousand miles away from the Imperial Capital. It's quite strange."
"..."
Most Great Abilities traveled alone.
But other Fifth and Sixth Realm cultivators were in groups of two or three, and some even formed larger teams of over ten.
They stood nearby, observing the Foreign Flame with curiosity.
"The seal here should be about to break."
"With the appearance of the Foreign Flame, a fierce battle will erupt. We must be prepared."
"Alas, there are too few of us, only three. That bastard Zhou Tong is useless. It'll be difficult for us to obtain it."
"We have to try!"
"As the saying goes, fortune comes with risk..."
"The seal is broken!"
"Attack!"
...
Boom!!!
Blue flames erupted everywhere, accompanied by a muffled explosion. The ground ruptured, the seal shattered, and the blue flames surged forth like an erupting volcano, spreading in all directions without pause.
But these surging waves were not water; they were blue flames!
Wherever the blue flames passed, mountains, rivers, plants, and even insects and ants were instantly frozen.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area within several dozen li had turned into an 'Ice Field', freezing everything in its path.
The raging blue flames became even more ferocious.
It was as if they had been trapped for years and had suddenly broken free.
The flames devoured the surrounding spiritual energy, growing stronger, and continued to spread...
Many Fifth Realm cultivators paled in fear and retreated.
They couldn't withstand the flames; even if they didn't freeze to death, they didn't want to get injured.
The Sixth Realm cultivators, however, could withstand the flames and continued to approach.
"Amazing!"
An alchemist exclaimed, "An unclaimed Foreign Flame, dormant for who knows how many years, has accumulated such astonishing power! If I can comprehend this, my alchemy skills will reach new heights!"
"Hmph, this Ice Spirit Cold Flame will be mine!"
An artificer's hair stood on end as he approached, aided by the lifeforce of a certain demon beast.
"You want it? Unclaimed Foreign Flames belong to the capable!"
"Let's have a fight then. It's better to fight now than to hesitate later. Anyway, we're all going to fight." Someone suggested, "It's better than reaching the flame and then hesitating to act."
"After all, everyone knows that the first person to make a move will be besieged by the others!"
The game had begun.
It was a contest of strength and a psychological battle.
Xiao Ling'er also approached, but at a slow pace.
Although she could instantly close the distance, she didn't want to reveal herself.
At the same time, she marveled at the power of the unclaimed Foreign Flame.
In truth, Foreign Flames were inherently powerful.
The only reason they seemed weak in her hands was her lack of strength.
The Foreign Flame was a part of her, and the power it displayed depended on her own strength.
But...
She was only at the Fifth Realm.
So, she could only use a fraction of the Foreign Flame's power, unable to unleash its full might.
However...
It's almost here!
If I can obtain the Ice Spirit Cold Flame today and refine it, then after cultivating for some time and stepping into the Sixth Realm, I can at least unleash the full might of one type of Foreign Flame.
But if I want to bring out the strongest power of all my Foreign Flames simultaneously... I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I reach the Seventh Realm before I can achieve that.
...
Xiao Ling'er's speed wasn't fast, and her strength wasn't exceptional either. Aside from those who were already paying attention to her and wanted to put her to death, she didn't attract the suspicion or attention of others.
At this moment, in the very center, the Sixth Realm experts were on their guard, and they didn't have the mind to pay attention to how Xiao Ling'er was doing.
However, none of them wanted to make the first move.
Everyone knew that once the Ice Spirit Cold Flame was obtained, it would surely attract a siege from the others.
As they hesitated, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
"Hmm?"
Tang Wu?
Xiao Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly.
Tang Wu's speed was astonishing as he descended from the sky, and he coldly hummed, "I, Tang Wu of the Bright Moon Sect, have come to take the Ice Spirit Cold Flame. Don't make a mistake and stand in my way!"
He couldn't stay put.
The Ice Spirit Cold Flame was a bait to lure Xiao Ling'er and 'whitewash' her at the same time.
I can't let someone else take it!
Since Xiao Ling'er has already appeared, I must retrieve the Ice Spirit Cold Flame first to prevent it from being snatched away.
As for Xiao Ling'er...
Someone will make a move on her.
However...
He was thinking too beautifully.
Boom!
A figure descended even faster from the sky and landed before him, standing at the core of the Ice Spirit Cold Flame. At the same time, he spread out his large hand, and a mysterious and astonishing wave spread out.
He was forcibly suppressing it, trying to take away the Ice Spirit Cold Flame!
"Who are you?"
Tang Wu's expression changed.
This was a genuine powerful expert! But even if he was a powerful expert, would he not give face to the Bright Moon Sect? Tang Wu shouted sternly, "I am from the Bright Moon Sect..."
"Who the hell are you?"
The big man chuckled, "So what if you're from the Bright Moon Sect?"
"Even if a powerful expert from the Bright Moon Sect is here, it's still a matter of skill. A mere disciple like you dares to drive me away in the name of the Bright Moon Sect?"
"Exactly!" Another powerful expert appeared, joining the fray, "Or are you saying that a mere disciple from the Bright Moon Sect can represent the entire sect?"
"I'm just a loose cultivator. If the Bright Moon Sect publicly makes a statement, I would naturally avoid them. But you, a mere disciple, and a low-ranking one at that, are nothing but a stinking shrimp!"
"Hmph, no need to waste words. Today is destined to end badly. Since we've already made our move, let's all show ourselves. Whoever stands last, this Ice Spirit Cold Flame belongs to them!"
"Since that's the case..."
"Fight!"
One powerful expert after another appeared.
They didn't give Tang Wu any face and fought fiercely for the Ice Spirit Cold Flame.
Tang Wu couldn't stay still, nor could he retreat. He was so angry that his face turned dark, and he felt like he had lost all face.
His face didn't seem injured, but he felt like he had been slapped hundreds of times and kicked dozens of times.
The pain was unbearable.
The Sixth Realm experts who had rushed halfway were in an awkward situation.
For a moment, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
To retreat would be unwilling, but to advance would mean they couldn't win and might even be accidentally killed.
This...
What to do?
"As expected of the area near the Imperial Capital, in just one night, so many powerful experts and even powerful experts have gathered?"
Even with mental preparation, Xiao Ling'er was still surprised.
She watched as more than ten powerful experts clashed, causing the area to be turned upside down and space to be torn apart. She was surprised but also felt relieved.
"Fortunately, the news of the Foreign Flame in the Tomb of the Fire Devouring Daoist wasn't confirmed, and it was in a remote area of the Southwest Region. If it were near the Imperial Capital, I would never have been able to obtain the Unceasing Devouring Flame."
Even if I obtained it in the tomb, what then?
The Liu Family wouldn't have been able to protect it.
Regret!
However, she wasn't too worried at the moment.
"Although the experts here are several times stronger than those I faced initially, I've also become much stronger."
"They will definitely stand until the end. By then, even if they aren't all injured, they will have consumed a lot of energy. With my teacher's help, I might be able to obtain it."
"Now..."
"What they are wary of should be other Seventh Realm powerful experts, not a Fifth Realm girl like me."
Xiao Ling'er stopped walking and started watching the show.
Boom!
In that area, the powerful experts clashed, creating a shocking impact.
Tang Wu was blown away, feeling his internal organs churning, almost coughing up blood.
He dared not approach again, his face turning pale.
"You're all staring at my Ice Spirit Cold Flame?"
"I asked you to kill Xiao Ling'er, not to fight over the Foreign Flame!"
He was extremely resentful.
He couldn't accept that while he was being blown away, Xiao Ling'er was hiding safely in the distance. He gritted his teeth, raised his voice, and said sinisterly, "Hmph, so you powerful experts are just this much?
"Kid, don't think that just because we're fighting, we can't deal with you!"
"The Bright Moon Sect is nothing. If you continue to spout nonsense, I'll kill you myself!"
A powerful expert spoke.
"What, as a powerful expert, you want to deal with a junior like me? Is this bullying the weak?" Tang Wu sneered, "Or did I hit a sore spot, and you want to silence me?"
"We have no sore spots. Kid, if you can't give a proper explanation, you won't be leaving. You'll stay here forever."
Someone became angry.
A powerful expert was insulted, unless the opponent was also a powerful expert or stronger.
How dare you, a mere junior, speak so arrogantly!
"Nonsense!"
"Fine, then I'll be blunt. With so many of you Powerhouses gathered here, you only dare to snatch this unclaimed treasure, yet you ignore the other, stronger Foreign Flames."
"Even if its owner is just a Fifth Stage wild girl, and her background is only a mere third-rate sect, the Moonseizing Sect..."
"This, is it not just as simple as that?"
"If you have the ability."
His tone was even more mocking: "Why don't you go and take it then?"
"What?"
Everyone was astonished.
"Xiao Ling'er?"
The Powerhouses who were prepared to kill Xiao Ling'er along the way realized this.
The Fifth Stage wild girl from the Moonseizing Sect, who was present, was none other than Xiao Ling'er.
However, Xiao Ling'er had a Foreign Flame?
"Otherwise..."
Tang Wu coldly smiled, "Xiao Ling'er possesses Foreign Flames, and not just one kind. Each of them ranks higher than the Ice Spirit Cold Flame. Yet, you all stare at the Ice Spirit Cold Flame without letting go, and here you are, mocking a junior like me."
"I thought you were all so capable, but it turns out you only bully the weak and fear the strong. Are you afraid of provoking such a Talent?"
Tang Wu!!!
Xiao Ling'er's eyes narrowed slightly, her face filled with rage.
"This bastard is asking for death!"
Creating trouble and shifting the blame, he came well-prepared." Medicine Elder also grew furious, "Be careful!"
"Three Thousand Thunder Movement!"
Xiao Ling'er instantly shifted her position.
A flying sword, like lightning, pierced through the spot where she had just been standing, shattering her afterimage.
"..."
Xiao Ling'er's face darkened as she looked at the attacker.
He was a Sixth Level cultivator.
His face was filled with greed.
He dared not challenge the Seventh Level Powerhouses, but Xiao Ling'er, who had no notable background, was the perfect target—the best one!
Even if the information was false, there would be no repercussions for attacking her.
After all, the Moonseizing Sect was just a small sect at present.
They couldn't even protect themselves, so how could they retaliate?
Not just him, but others had also prepared to make their move, only to be preempted by his actions.
Some of the Seventh Level Powerhouses were also tempted, but seeing the Sixth Level cultivators take action, they decided to wait.
Why rush? Let them create chaos first.
They would first go for the Ice Spirit Cold Flame, and if it proved unattainable, they could intervene later.
These Sixth Level cultivators would surely cause some chaos.
They were in sync.
During such times, one move could trigger a chain reaction.
As long as no one took the lead, no one would dare to act.
"..."
Seeing everyone's intense gazes, Xiao Ling'er laughed in anger, "Tang Wu, you truly seek death with a purpose!"
"You want to kill me?"
Tang Wu spread his hands, "I'm just speaking the truth. Besides, I'm not the one attacking, why take it out on me?"
"In the end..."
"You should worry about yourself first."
"You're right."
"But a bunch of misfits, you think you can kill me?!"
Xiao Ling'er glared at the attacker, her peripheral vision sweeping over those who were surrounding her.
The Sixth Level cultivator, realizing he had become the target, immediately grew furious, but in his heart, he was overjoyed.
You, a Fifth Level fifth-tier little girl, dare to attack me?
This is like delivering yourself to my doorstep.
Your clone will temporarily hold them off for me.
Since it's come to this, I'll kill you, take everything, and immediately use Blood Escape, then employ all my means...
Even a Seventh Level powerhouse might not be able to catch up.
He hardened his resolve and immediately used his ultimate technique to try to kill Xiao Ling'er instantly!
As a Sixth Level third-tier cultivator, even if Xiao Ling'er used a secret technique to boost her cultivation, he had no fear. He aimed to finish her off with one strike.
But...
What awaited him was a finger entwined with Foreign Flame.
"Yellow Springs Finger!"
Xiao Ling'er whispered.
She never stopped pushing forward.
The Yellow Springs Finger, as recorded in the Fire Emperor's Scripture, has already been cultivated to success.
Their fists and fingers clashed.
There was still a huge gap in their cultivation levels.
Almost everyone thought Xiao Ling'er would instantly perish.
But the result surprised everyone.
Boom! The Sixth Level cultivator's face paled.
"You..."
He moved swiftly, sensing the danger, and cried out in pain as he shifted his body, avoiding the tragic outcome of having his chest pierced by that finger.
But the corrosive power of the 'Yellow Springs' continued to spread from the wound, and at the same time, the Unceasing Devouring Flame also enveloped him.
The corrosive power of 'Yellow Springs' was already hard to defend against.
The Unceasing Devouring Flame also went into a frenzy, devouring...
Combined, the power of the Unceasing Devouring Flame seemed to surge tenfold in an instant.
He was instantly sucked dry, turning into a 'human jerky', and then became 'fuel'.
Only the miserable screams remained, echoing in their ears.
Xiao Ling'er was quick to act, collecting his storage bag and the fallen treasures, then turning to look at the others, her killing intent boiling.
"My teacher once said."
"When fighting for your life, you must be quick and ruthless."
She muttered to herself, "If someone makes a move, you must crush them with overwhelming force to intimidate the weak."
