Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

When Tang Qiying sensed the blood-red light, he understood: it was the Fire Child of the Yan Clan!

She is the woman who should have been entangled by Soul Cliff or Soul Jade, and should never have appeared here!

"Damn it! Those two Soul Clan trash!" Tang Qiying cursed inwardly, almost vomiting blood. He had just withstood the devastating impact of the Five-Colored Fire Lotus, his soul was torn apart by the Hidden Shadow Needles, his body was riddled with holes, and his battle qi was already exhausted, only being kept upright by that black flame. Let alone a Fire Child in perfect condition, even a random peak Dou Zun could pose a fatal threat to him at this moment!

He had failed to kill her in their one-on-one duel for various reasons, but now he had to face this big problem.

Then Tang Qiying's actions were quite simple. He immediately forced the remaining fighting spirit in his body to fly in another direction. He wanted to run away!

No matter how deep the obsession with revenge, it can't compare to the instinct for survival.

During his previous exchange with Xiao Yan, he had been doing his utmost to recover his Dou Qi. Because his condition was so poor, a hasty attack would be unwise, so he had originally planned to recover further before making a move against Xiao Yan. However, given the current life-or-death situation, Tang Qiying couldn't afford to force a powerful attack that would result in a greater backlash; he had to escape at all costs. He relentlessly extracted every last drop of Dou Qi from his body.

"Those two idiots, how could they let this guy run here?" Tang Qiying was still angry as he ran, and he couldn't help but think that if he saw those two Soul Clan guys again, he would definitely make them pay!

"Tang Qiying, you still want to leave?" Xiao Yan was also greatly exhausted, and the backlash from the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations was already causing him weakness. However, Xiao Yan mustered his strength and chased after Tang Qiying, wanting to bite him down first.

He wasn't in good condition, but he couldn't let Tang Qiying leave like that!

"You think you've calculated everything, but you've still overlooked many things." Xiao Yan sneered as he watched Tang Qiying's retreating figure, then transmitted his voice to Tang Qiying's ear.

"You underestimated my strength from beginning to end. The information you have is still about my strength in the ancient clan. You didn't expect that my strength has improved again after this period of hard training, did you?"

"You underestimate the strength of my two companions. Those two from the Soul Clan can't stop them, and Huo Zhi will definitely avenge her blood feud herself!"

"What you don't know is that I, Xiao Yan, am not some lone wolf. I am also a descendant of the Dou Di, and this Heavenly Tomb is protected by my ancestor, Xiao Xuan. This Heavenly Tomb is my home ground, Xiao Yan's home ground!"

Xiao Yan wasn't lying. The reason Huo Zhi arrived here so quickly was part of their plan from the beginning. The three split up mainly because Huo Zhi and Lei Jingxiao wanted to find a reinforcement they could get in the Heavenly Tomb—the energy body Feng Qiu.

Because of his previous help to himself and Huo Zhi, Xiao Yan deliberately spared Feng Qiu's life. Although a late-stage Half-Saint energy body is not directly equivalent to a late-stage Half-Saint powerhouse, the sudden addition of such an energy body to a battle involving four Half-Saints would definitely have a remarkable effect.

In the early stages of the battle, Xiao Yan deliberately stalled and prolonged the fight with Tang Qiying, only unleashing his full power once the situation began to spiral out of control. Ultimately, Huo Zhi did not disappoint Xiao Yan; she arrived before Tang Qiying had fully recovered.

Now, as long as she and Xiao Yan work together to stop Tang Qiying, their plan will be a complete success!

"Killing you in this Heavenly Tomb will be as easy as turning my hand!" Xiao Yan transmitted his voice as he pursued, partly because of the anger he was holding in, and partly because he hoped to provoke Tang Qiying in this way.

While cursing inwardly, Tang Qiying continued to run forward without stopping for a moment. He was very good at provoking others, so he would never let Xiao Yan's taunts affect his speed.

He desperately urged his battle qi, even at the cost of pushing his body to its limits and burning the last of his power, because surviving was the most important thing!

However, Xiao Yan and Tang Qiying have both exhausted their fighting spirit to less than one-tenth of their original strength. The one who is truly in good condition is Huo Zhi!

Huo Zhi, riding the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, caught up with Xiao Yan in an instant.

"Xiao Yan, give me your hand!"

Then Xiao Yan extended his right hand, and Huo Zhi's fair and strong hand instantly grasped his wrist. The movements were extremely synchronized, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times in advance.

Xiao Yan's Dou Qi surged within his body, then flowed through their tightly intertwined arms. With a thought, Xiao Yan relinquished control of the three strange flames within him—the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, and the Sea Heart Flame—to the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies deep within his soul.

Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Battle Qi Connection Successfully Completed!

Although Xiao Yan has exhausted most of his Dou Qi, the combination of the two Crimson Lotus Karmic Flames still provides Huo Zhi with a significant boost. The resonance between the two flames of the same origin further enhances Huo Zhi's original aura.

Then, Huo Zhi's jade hand reached out from afar, aiming at Tang Qiying's back as he fled in panic. The Crimson Lotus Flame swirled and danced in her palm, and petals of the fiery lotus transformed into streams of blood-red light, flying out at an illogical speed. As they approached Tang Qiying, the fiery lotus petals also transformed into streaks of red flame.

"Ten Directions Flame Binding!"

The crimson flames, like a net stretching across the sky, directly entangled Tang Qiying's waist and limbs. These flames, formed from the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, were extremely tough and flowed with incredibly scorching energy, their sole purpose being to stop Tang Qiying first.

Tang Qiying was both shocked and furious as she looked at the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. With her last bit of strength, she forcibly summoned the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, and the power of annihilation forcefully broke through the fire line.

That was only a short while, but for Huo Zhi, that was enough time.

Huo Zhimei's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she waved her jade hand again, her fingers pointing like a sword.

A condensed crimson sword shadow, carrying the momentum to tear through space, shot straight at Tang Qiying's back.

The speed of this move was too fast, and Tang Qiying had no time to make any extra defenses. She could only raise her hand and release some of her soul bodies to self-destruct.

bang bang bang-

The sounds of soul entities self-destructing rose and fell, and powerful soul shockwaves mixed with black mist spread out. The soul entities self-destructed recklessly to block Tang Qiying and the sword shadow, but these could not stop Huo Zhi's deliberate sword strike.

The sword strike was swift and clean, slicing through all the blocking soul forces, and finally, with undiminished sharpness, it pierced directly into Tang Qiying's body.

The sword shadow pierced through half of Tang Qiying's body, and Tang Qiying was cut down from mid-air by Huo Zhi. Huo Zhi looked at the figure she had destroyed, flames swirling around her, but her tone was icy cold: "You beast, you forcibly possessed my brother's body, today I will personally avenge my brother!"
