Chapter 1120 - 1119: Li Fire True Qi

Below Red Flame Mountain.

The world was shrouded in desolation, leaving only a solemn silence.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene, their faces pale, bodies trembling.

Total annihilation!

In merely half a day, the leaders of the Thirty-Six Sects who had come to besiege with overwhelming momentum—Ye Bozhong, Master Xingyue, Kou Pingtian, Ye Xuanji...

Which of them was not a figure standing at the summit of Southern Heaven?

Which one was not a Celestial Immortal Powerhouse!

Which one was not a supreme being whose words shaped reality!

But now.

All of them had fallen under this very sky, not only leaving no remains but even their souls were utterly obliterated. How could they not be shocked, not be terrified?

And Yi Tianli, as the sole survivor, trembled all over, his eyes filled with horror.

"You rallied the Thirty-Six Sects to besiege me, yet now they are all slain by my hand, leaving you as the last one standing..." Ye Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, staring with a half-smile.

With each sentence Ye Qingchen uttered, Yi Tianli's pupils shrank until they were almost as small as needle points. Finally, he sighed deeply:

"Mr. Ye, your strength is unparalleled, beyond imagination! To have besieged you is the greatest mistake of my life, but unfortunately, there is no remedy for regret in this world!"

"Enough with the nonsense, prepare to die!"

Ye Qingchen flicked his fingers.

"Want to kill me?"

Yi Tianli suddenly raised his head, amusement flashing in his eyes: "Ye the Demon, if you want to kill me, just try and chase me!"

He waved his hand.

Whoosh!

A streak of red darted abruptly, skimming past Ye Qingchen, swiftly crossing the sky. Ye Qingchen frowned, ready to act, but a scream suddenly echoed from behind.

"What?"

Ye Qingchen turned to see that red streak had sliced through space, directly embedding itself in Zhu Jin's brow.

The red streak vanished in a flash.

But then, dense red patterns appeared on Zhu Jin's white skin, rapidly spreading across her entire body like a spider web! She appeared eerie and terrifying.

Li Mo, beside her, was horrified, and utterly lost.

"Haha, Ye the Demon... everyone knows of your cold-blooded cruelty, but I know of your strong sense of duty and justice. I wonder what you'll do for a mere mortal?"

Yi Tianli laughed heartily, turning into a beam of light, fleeing quickly into the distance, leaving his thunderous voice echoing through the world, piercing all hearts:

"This woman is afflicted by my Li Fire True Qi!"

"This True Qi will relentlessly scorch her body; you have only seven days to save her, or her soul will disintegrate into ashes!"

Before his voice faded, he had already disappeared from everyone's view.

...

"Master, save me!"

Zhu Jin cried out miserably, collapsing to the ground.

She felt herself placed in a fiery furnace, as though every inch of her skin, every tendon and bone, were being roasted by raging flames.

"I..."

Li Mo felt helpless and wanted to cry.

This was a Celestial Immortal! What power did he have to save anyone? In the field, only Ye Qingchen could save her! But would he let a fleeing Celestial Immortal escape for the sake of a stranger?

As he contemplated this.

A shadow darted from afar, arriving quietly amidst the shocked gazes of countless people.

A deadly silence pervaded, only the sound of a needle could be heard.

The cyan light dissipated.

It was Ye Qingchen!

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye..."

The crowd scattered like a tidal wave, watching Ye Qingchen approach slowly, Li Mo was left stunned, unable to move. This demon had personally slain thirty-three Celestial Immortals, and his reputation alone sufficed to instill terror across the world.

Nearby Cyan Flame Sect disciples were even more frightened, especially Sun Hongtu whose face turned pale. Even the Sect Leader had fled in disgrace; what right did he have to face this demon at this moment, feeling like a beast was walking towards him.

But Ye Qingchen's eyes paid no heed to these ants, he walked forward.

Li Mo's mind was blank.

Until Ye Qingchen passed him by and reached Zhu Jin, he finally reacted, kneeling without hesitation, bowing his head like pounding garlic:

"Mr. Ye, please save Zhu Jin. I'm willing to exchange her life with my own!"

"I apologize for dragging you into this!"

Ye Qingchen didn't even glance at Li Mo, but looked at Zhu Jin with eyes full of remorse.

"Mr. Ye, quickly go after that villain, he's deliberately targeting me to hinder you..." Zhu Jin struggled to lift her head.

"I, Ye Qingchen, never implicate the innocent! Once I save you, I'll kill him!"

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, grabbing her hand almost at the same moment when a terrifying wave of heat, like an angry sea, a collapsing mountain, a tidal surge, instantly assaulted him.

Boom!

Ye Qingchen's vision blurred, in an instant he saw a peculiar scene:

In a desolate dark world, Zhu Jin was suspended in midair. A hideous fire dragon coiled around her, seemingly devouring her soul and life, gradually growing its own body!

"Roar!"

The fire dragon seemed to notice Ye Qingchen's intrusion, letting out a heaven-shocking roar.

It then opened its massive mouth, lunging to bite towards Ye Qingchen.

"Mere Flame True Qi, dare to act presumptuously before me?"

In the face of such a terrifying aura, Ye Qingchen remained fearless, waving his large hand directly. This was Zhu Jin's inner world, a virtual space. A giant hand emerged from the sky, crashing down in a swift motion.

"Roar!"

The fire dragon opened its mouth to bite, immediately swallowing half the giant hand, causing its already massive body to expand again.

"What?"

Seeing this, Ye Qingchen's pupils contracted, but his gaze turned cold, hesitating no longer, pushing True Qi and Qi Blood to the extreme, the missing half of the giant hand surged again. Suddenly grasping the fire dragon that was about to bite again, he slammed it heavily on the ground.

The fire dragon roared in anger, attempting to rise, but the hand descended again mercilessly, pressing heavily on the dragon.

No matter how the dragon struggled, roared, it couldn't escape. Then, he gathered it into a cage, firmly imprisoning it within.

"Buzz!"

When Ye Qingchen opened his eyes again, the previous illusion shattered, turning into nothingness. The sky and earth, vast and infinite, returned to his eyes like a tide.

"What formidable Li Fire True Qi, I was careless!"

Ye Qingchen's body swayed, a hint of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yet his face showed a trace of joy.

Under Li Mo's shocked gaze, Ye Qingchen slowly opened his right hand, and a tiny fire dragon the size of a loach was in his palm, precisely the Li Fire True Qi left by Yi Tianli in Zhu Jin!
