Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 321 Flaming Eyebrow Tail

Cheng Huoxiao sent Lin Ping out of the Liancheng Illusion, just as the Luoyan Sect and the Martial Arts Platform had agreed.

The thick barrier of light allowed entry but not exit after the trial began.

As Cheng Huoxiao watched Lin Ping walk out, he naturally noticed the astonishment on Xing Ye's face on the other side of the light screen.

Lin Ping was able to walk directly, and he walked steadily, nimbly, and with great vigor.

This doesn't feel like treatment; it feels more like getting a new pair of legs.

Cheng Huoxiao had always felt that there was something strange about this. Considering the name "Illusion" in Liancheng Illusion, he also wondered if it was some kind of illusion.

However, even after leaving the barrier, Lin Ping's legs remained intact, and he could walk freely.

He's really better.

His father, Cheng Ming, secretly gave him a thumbs-up, which Cheng Huoxiao noticed but didn't pay much attention to.

Xing Ye, however, withdrew his gaze from Lin Ping and nodded meaningfully at Cheng Huoxiao.

Cheng Huoxiao understood his meaning, nodded in agreement through the light screen, and then returned alone again, rushing towards the depths of the fire vein.

To his surprise, he met Master Zongheng of Yunhu Mountain again in a relatively peripheral area.

Master Zong seemed to have no intention of turning inward, but at the same time he did not have any intention of leaving immediately. When Cheng Huoxiao saw him, the master was packing up the dry food he had just eaten, patting his clothes, and getting up as if he was going to practice his boxing for a while.

Cheng Huoxiao had also witnessed the earth-shaking roar that erupted from the fire vein earlier. Among the cultivators who entered the illusion this time, it seemed that only Zong Heng could achieve such power.

It's best not to mess with such a monster.

He sped forward, continuing to venture deeper into the area.

Although he had promised Xing Ye that he would help him kill the Tongxuan of the Changjing Sect, the fire vein was so vast that the chances of not encountering him were very high. Cheng Huoxiao only focused on going inward, killing those he encountered and not forcing it if he didn't.

Running at full speed requires the support of spiritual energy. Although the Opening Mansion Realm has a spiritual mansion that is constantly regenerating, the circulation of spiritual energy also takes time. If the intake is insufficient to cover the output, the consumption will be enormous.

In the outside world, with other cultivators eyeing him covetously, Cheng Huoxiao really wouldn't dare to squander his spiritual power so recklessly.

However, this is the Liancheng Fire Vein, where the rich fire-elemental spiritual energy is extremely compatible with his Luoyan Sect cultivation. Although it cannot directly replenish his own power, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort by using his cultivation in this environment.

Apart from Zong Heng, Cheng Huoxiao believed that no one in this illusion could be his match.

Soon, he returned to the vicinity of the fire pool where he had previously treated Lin Ping's injuries.

He didn't stop, he continued forward.

Wide cracks began to appear on the scorched earth, from which thick, dark brown magma flowed ceaselessly.

The burning sensation had become a distinct pain, and the environment smelled burnt, with a slightly pungent, acidic odor.

As far as the eye can see, there is very little smoke rising from the Liancheng Fire Vein. Instead, from the rolling red magma, ghostly blue flames occasionally burst forth.

Cheng Huoxiao, with his sharp eyes, spotted a piece of exposed golden-red ore in a lava river.

A piece of blazing sun-black gold!
He swallowed hard. Such a treasure would require considerable effort for his father, Cheng Ming, to obtain, given his status within the sect. Yet here in the Liancheng Fire Vein, it was exposed and left to be taken by anyone.

Young people are mostly impatient, but after hesitating for a moment, Cheng Huoxiao still managed to turn his gaze away with difficulty.

Although the Blazing Sun Profound Gold is rare, it can still be seen in some places. Coming to the Liancheng Fire Vein is not easy, and Cheng Huoxiao doesn't have any special storage methods, so he focuses his attention on more important opportunities.

At its core, the ancestral land of the Nine Provinces Fire Veins is the true treasure for a cultivator like him who manifests the form of fire.

Even if you only stay nearby for a few days to meditate and practice, you will benefit greatly.

Of course, on the other hand, the time-consuming mining and difficulty in carrying the Blazing Sun Profound Gold were also reasons. Not long after, Cheng Huoxiao saw another skeleton and picked up two demon crystals from it. He felt that it was no big deal.

The deeper you go into the Liancheng Fire Vein, the more dangerous it becomes. In addition to the intense heat making it difficult to survive, the monsters that roam here are also becoming increasingly ferocious.

Cheng Huoxiao even encountered a Flame Turtle comparable to the Transformation Realm.

Fortunately, his fire elemental power was like a fish in water, allowing him to carefully dodge and avoid alerting the other party.

As they delved deeper, Cheng Huoxiao felt a surge of secret joy, but he couldn't help but think of Xing Ye.

The young man that Lord Xing wanted to kill was only at the Tongxuan cultivation level. This place is so deep that he probably can't even get in. It seems that I won't be able to get this reward from the court.

Just as he was sighing with regret, a figure gradually emerged from the lava river not far ahead.

The man stepped on two black mud pedals, speeding through the lava. The astonishing heat waves slapped against his protective aura, eliciting layers of shimmering light.

Those clothes... belong to a young master from the Long Whale Sect!

"He does indeed have some skill." Cheng Huoxiao, instead of being surprised, was delighted. He quickly took a few steps forward and shouted sharply, "Boy, turn around and see who I am?!"

Above the lava, a pair of pedals propelled fire and waves, and with each twist of the body, large plumes of lava splashed up.

Turning around, there it was, Pei Xia, wearing an iron mask.

Cheng Huoxiao reached into his lower back, gripped his magical weapon, and with a "whoosh," pulled out a long, soft-bone whip. He unleashed his spiritual power, and it swept towards Pei Xia like a fiery serpent.

Pei Xia seemed to have no time to react. She was still standing on the lava and had no way to dodge. In her haste, she actually reached out to grab the fire snake.

A ferocious glint flashed in Cheng Huoxiao's eyes.

This magical artifact is called "Flame Eyebrow Tail," a Xuanbao-grade item. It was given to Cheng Huoxiao by his father, Cheng Ming, when he was six years old, and he had already mastered it to an extraordinary level since childhood.

Pei Xia tried to grasp the fire snake, but couldn't hold onto it at all. The soft-bone whip seemed to be alive, quickly wrapping around Pei Xia's arm.

Cheng Huoxiao unleashed his full power of fire magic, having mastered it to perfection. The azure spiritual flames instantly tore apart Pei Xia's Changjing Sect elder's robe on her right arm.

The flesh and blood seemed to begin screaming tragically amidst the clear flames!

Haha, it came so easily, I'm getting a good deal from both sides!
After leaving the illusion and returning to the Falling Flame Sect, I will be able to go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Transformation Realm within two or three years...

He looked at Pei Xia with a sinister grin: "Kid, I'll give you a quick death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue fire snake suddenly tightened, its force so intense that it seemed to seep into Pei Xia's flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood on Pei Xia's right arm seemed to be truly melted by the flames, and the flesh and bones tightly bound by the cartilaginous whip suddenly softened.

Before Cheng Huoxiao could react, his magical artifact had completely merged into Pei Xia's arm... No, it was more like...

It was swallowed up!
The azure flame vanished in an instant, replaced by a blood-red fire with an eerie, viscous texture, which began to rush swiftly toward Cheng Huoxiao along the long magical artifact!

Cheng Huoxiao didn't know what had happened, but his combat instincts, honed over many years, made him subconsciously release his magical artifact and retreat with all his might.

Fortunately, he withdrew in time, and only a tiny drop of the strange, viscous, crimson flame landed on his sleeve.

Just as he was panting with surprise and uncertainty.

The tiny spark of blood on the sleeve began to flicker and rise in the scorching wind.

In the blink of an eye, the blood-red monster soared into the sky, transforming into a Blood Flame Demon God tens of feet tall, looking down at Cheng Huoxiao!
Cheng Huo Xiaosheng is a fire elementalist and cultivates this lineage. The so-called raging flames should be the closest and most familiar existence to him.

However, at this moment, the overwhelming blood and fire before him made him feel a sense of unfamiliarity and fear from the bottom of his heart.

“I…” he opened his mouth.

The blood-fire also opened its mouth, and a shadow tens of feet high crashed down, engulfing him completely!
A few breaths later, the fierce flames faded, and the scorched earth was empty.

Pei Xia stood silently on the lava, her feet resting on two pieces of black gold, her face beneath the iron mask expressionless.

He glanced down at the magical artifact still embedded in his arm, opened his mouth, grabbed the handle of the whip, and, shaking his head, dragged the long "flaming eyebrow tail" out of his arm.

He casually made a loop and clipped the magic weapon to his lower back.

……

Pei Xia helped Ye Baicha tidy up her posture a little, trying to make her look less like she had just been killed.

Fortunately, the Taoist robe from Yunhu Mountain that she was wearing was mostly intact—don't get me wrong, Pei Xia wasn't interested in whether she was wearing clothes or not.

However, judging from Zong Heng's departure earlier, he probably wouldn't return. Without anyone pointing the finger at him, Ye Baicha, as the Opening Realm expert of Yunhu Mountain, still wielded considerable influence.

If you encounter cultivators from other sects, you can help them without even having to lift a finger.

"If you had a handy weapon, it would be easier to strike a pose that would be more intimidating." Ye Baicha blinked and looked at Pei Xia questioningly.

Pei Xia thought she was right.

So he reached down and touched his lower back.

He had a long, soft whip tucked into his lower back.

Cartilage...whip?

Pei Xia stared at the object in her hand, then suddenly paused.

“Uh, Flame Eyebrow Tail, Mysterious Treasure,” he said, handing it to Ye Baicha, “Take this, it’s easy to use.”
