Heavenly flame, Minghuang Jiuyou Fire! Even if it was one thousandth of its little spark, it was not something that a ?21??Yuanjing cultivator could subdue! Not to mention, this was just a temporary little spark that was "created" by trickery. Didn't you see that its vitality was almost exhausted as soon as it was born? Therefore, it was not something that could be cultivated at all!
"It's terrible!" Chu Tianxiao knew that he must not be careless, and he didn't even care about his unconscious hand. Instead, he used all his strength to activate the Heavenly Thunder Art, trying to destroy this "invader"!
However... It turns out that the Mingyuan Realm is nothing in front of the Heavenly Grade Flame! As soon as the flame entered his body, Chu Tianxiao felt like he had swallowed a burning charcoal. His entire body, limbs, and bones seemed to be burned. The flames flowed, and the destructive power was even greater than when he absorbed the Thunder Spirit before!
This time, Chu Tianxiao knew that it was impossible to subdue the spark, so he didn't hold any hope at all. Instead, he frantically urged the electric snakes transformed by the Heavenly Thunder Art to "put out the fire" everywhere, while also fighting a desperate battle with the flame!
But this battle was ten times more dangerous than the previous one, because before, the Heavenly Thunder Art could restrain and suppress the Thunder Spirit to some extent, but this time, it was really hard to say...
The uncontrollable flames began to spread everywhere. Chu Tianxiao's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body began to turn red and hot. He was like a big furnace, slowly "burning" his clothes into ashes, which were blown away by the strong wind...
If it was the previous fight between the Thunder Spirits, with the Heavenly Thunder Art, it could still be controlled, so the clothes could still be intact, but this time... the clothes can no longer be saved. 『
Chu Tianxiao only felt that he was fighting with the god of death, and the true essence of the Snow Mountain Qi Sea was constantly being burned - this was the characteristic of the Minghuang Nine Nether Fire, burning the true essence!
“Damn it! Am I going to be burned to death by a small spark in a small spark? That’s too cowardly!” Chu Tianxiao gritted his teeth fiercely, “Heavenly Sacrifice Thunder Art, isn’t it a Great Emperor-level secret technique? Give me some strength!”
I don’t know if God heard what Chu Tianxiao said, but at this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, and a trace of electric arc hit Chu Tianxiao’s lower abdomen!
Chu Tianxiao... was struck by lightning!
"Just in time!" If it was before, he might have had the leisure to sigh, but at this moment, he only had this thought!
“Let’s fight!”
And that lightning should have been a fatal blow, but at this moment it was continuously introduced by the Heavenly Thunder Art that was running wildly to the extreme, and became a powerful external aid - this naturally had its consequences, but that was something that could be resolved slowly!
Suddenly, something strange happened in the thunder cave!
There was a sound of greedy spitting, and then, lightning flashed, and countless thick electric arcs shot out from the lightning hole. In just an instant, the flame that was gradually turning into a human shape was shot into a sieve!
The flame gradually twisted and was finally cut off by the electric arc. After all, it was only one thousandth of the spark, and it couldn't hold on until now. In fact, rather than saying that it was killed directly by the "foreign aid" of lightning, it would be better to say that it just exhausted its already limited "vitality"...
Finally... the flame completely dissipated.
But... even Chu Tianxiao didn't notice that the arcs that cut off the flames and then returned to the lightning hole had a faint red tint, like blood...
Because he was completely exhausted at this moment. Although this fight was very short, its intensity was no less than the previous process of subduing the Thunder Spirit! At this moment, Chu Tianxiao felt extremely exhausted, and his body was also seriously injured and could not support it. Just when he was about to fall down, suddenly, a graceful figure appeared in front of him...
Then, before Chu Tianxiao could react, a sharp female scream came to his ears!
"ah!-"
In just a moment, Chu Tianxiao understood everything. His first thought was - "Brother has been seen naked, seen naked, seen naked..."
Then he tilted his head back and fainted.
…
…
When Chu Tianxiao woke up again, he found himself lying in the inn, wearing a large green robe that barely covered his body and vital parts. The Sumeru Ring and other things were still there... If he hadn't felt as if his limbs were about to fall apart when he moved... He might have really thought that everything that happened last night was just a dream.
"Strange... Who sent me here? I remember..." Chu Tianxiao recalled a little, and the last scene in his memory was that he "killed" the small spark, and then... It seemed that a woman approached, and after seeing that all his clothes were burned...
"Oh my god!" Chu Tianxiao thought of this and jumped up from the bed. He endured the severe pain and looked around quickly. The result was...
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! According to the script, there should be a note or something like that here at this time!"
"… Strange, there's no sign of anyone touching it, it's like… huh?"
Chu Tianxiao found it difficult to turn around, so he suddenly slapped his head, took out a piece of clothing from the Sumeru Ring and put it on. Then, he looked at the green robe he had taken off, tapping his chin and thinking.
This robe is suitable for both men and women. It is fluffy and wide, with tiny holes on it. When he sniffed it gently, he could still smell the faint fragrance of a woman. Although it was very faint, the smell immediately made Chu Tianxiao come to a conclusion - she must be a beautiful woman, with at least an 80% chance!
Then... Hey? This scent seems... a little familiar? Or maybe it's just that the woman used similar spices? But this scent doesn't seem to be caused by spices...
After thinking carefully for a moment, Chu Tianxiao slapped his forehead, took a recovery pill, sat cross-legged for a while, then pushed open the door and called down. Soon, a waiter came in with a flattering smile.
Chu Tianxiao questioned the guy about some things, then waved him off. After thinking for a while, although there were still some things he hadn't figured out, he had a rough idea of what was going on in his mind...
Last night, after he fell unconscious, the woman who was probably "passing by" did not stand by and watch him die, but put on this loose robe, brought him to this inn, and then... left him alone. As for the holes on the robe, they were obviously caused by burning, which should be the "masterpiece" of the heat of the fire in his body that had not completely dissipated at that time...
What puzzled Chu Tianxiao was that the waiter only remembered that a woman had carried him in on her back, but he had no memory of what she looked like, not even her height or her clothes. Chu Tianxiao knew that Shenzhou Haotu had several secret methods to do this, but they were not complete. The waiter really couldn't remember anything at all, but he remembered that she had carried him in on her back...
But no matter what, it was true that the woman had no ill will towards him. Chu Tianxiao was able to avoid the nightmare of being "watched" after dawn, thanks to her. This made Chu Tianxiao grateful, but...
"This script is wrong..."
Chu Tianxiao pressed his forehead and said, "It should be that I met an unconscious... naked girl, and then sent her to the inn, or transformed into a wolf, or guarded her all night like a gentleman... This is the right development! How could it be like this now..."
"Moreover, the woman didn't leave any notes, sound transmission notes, or any marks of her identity, let alone any traces of herself... It seems that after confirming that I was safe, she turned around and left, without even treating my injuries?"
"There are many strange things about this... Is it because he is in a hurry because of something he is busy with, or is it another kind of hurry..."
Chu Tianxiao always felt that this matter was not that simple. He even had an inexplicable premonition that this matter would affect his entire life... However, too little was known now and the information was seriously insufficient. Even if he was as smart as a demon, he couldn't cook without rice. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and gave up.
"Forget it. The most urgent thing is to compete with Chu He. No matter who that girl is, she has no ill intentions, and... she doesn't seem to want anything in return from me... Well, if we meet again in the future, I'll think about repaying her."
Chu Tianxiao thought about this and meditated quietly. After about half a day, he let out a long sigh and stood up.
"My true energy has recovered 50% to 60%, and my injuries have also improved a bit... Well, I'll go to Chen's Tavern to hand over the box, and then I should go back."
…
A few days later, at the Purple Robe Marquis’ Mansion.
"This is roughly what happened..."
Chu Tianxiao drank a sip of Butterfly Tea and embellished the story of everything that happened in the Desolate Mountains. He omitted some things that were inconvenient to talk about, such as Qin Yun, the old man, and Ning Linyun. He told Fan and Mu Liuling all the rest.
After these words were spoken, both of them were stunned. (To be continued.)8
