In the black fire, Lu Zhenyang's body was just a shadow. His real body hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't stop the fatty and I from attacking him. He could only watch helplessly. The anger in his eyes behind the mask became more intense.
Although Lu Zhenyang could not stop it, the black fire around him was not ordinary either. After the Xuanyuan Sword pierced into it, not only did it not destroy it in one go, but it seemed to have fallen into a mass of mud, and it instantly stopped and was in a stalemate.
At the same time, the black fire expanded a bit. It didn't retreat, but advanced instead. The raging flames rolled towards the Xuan Yuan Sword, directly wrapping it up.
The Xuan Yuan Sword was an ancient divine item, so it naturally wasn't afraid of the black fire's corrosion. However, it was my True Essence that activated the Xuan Yuan Sword, so it couldn't withstand the corrosion of the black fire. Almost in an instant, it melted by half, and the mysterious power of the black fire affected my body through the corrosion of my True Essence. In an instant, I felt as if I had been thrown into an extremely corrosive solution. Stinging pain seeped into my body from every pore.
After a while, the black fire completely covered the Xuan Yuan Sword, directly cutting off the connection between me and the Xuan Yuan Sword. I couldn't sense the Xuan Yuan Sword within my divine sense.
The Xuan Yuan Sword was a divine item. After it had recognized its master, there was almost no possibility of it being taken away. So I didn't panic. I endured the pain in my body and constantly swept my divine sense, searching for traces of the Xuan Yuan Sword.
After a while, the Xuan Yuan Sword reappeared in my divine sense. Although it was covered by the black fire and couldn't be seen with the naked eye, I could see it very clearly with my divine sense.
At this moment, the Xuan Yuan Sword floated motionlessly in the huge black fire. However, there were countless small sword lights appearing around it. After each sword light appeared, it directly shot into the black fire and destroyed a small part of it. The entire area around the Xuan Yuan Sword had been cleared out.
At this moment, the black fire still looked very big, but in reality, a large part of it had been hollowed out.
Just as I thought, the Xuan Yuan Sword could indeed restrain this item.
No matter how magical Lu Zhenyang's teleportation power was, as long as the black fire was cleared out, Lu Zhenyang wouldn't be able to use this teleportation power to chase after me.
The Xuan Yuan Sword was very effective against the black fire, but it was a pity that I didn't have enough True Essence to activate it. After clearing out a hole in the fire, there was no more power.
Fortunately, the power of the fatty's Yellow River of Nine Bends Formation had also caught up at this time. The gust of wind that carried the yellow sand was not like the Xuanyuan Sword, which directly pierced into the black fire. Instead, it circled around the black fire and directly wrapped it up.
Even though the fatty's cultivation wasn't high, the Nine Bends Yellow River of Formation, the formation, the formation, the formation, was extremely powerful. The formation. After the formation wrapped the formation, the formation, the black fire, the formation and the formation.
After a moment, Liu Ruxu finally arrived in front of the Black Fire. She stopped and stared at the Black Fire for a moment. She didn't use a spell or a magic artifact. Instead, she reached her hand into the Black Fire.
I still didn't know what the black fire was, nor did I know how dangerous it was. Seeing Liu Ruxu's action, I couldn't help but worry.
However, Liu Ruxu didn't seem to care. After he reached his hand into the black fire, he closed his eyes. Soon, I saw the black fire move along his arm and gradually spread up to his body.
When I saw this, I instinctively thought that the black fire was attacking Liu Ruxu, just like how it had attacked the Xuan Yuan Sword. However, I soon found that the situation was different. The black fire spread to Liu Ruxu's arm and became fainter. When it reached his shoulder, it disappeared completely.
I then realized that Liu Ruxu was absorbing the black fire!
With the Xuan Yuan Sword, the Nine Yellow River Formation, and Liu Ruxu's ability to absorb the black fire, no matter how magical it was, it couldn't endure for long.
That was indeed the case. In just a moment, the black fire, which was originally as tall as two people, had shrunk to nearly half its original size, and the hole made by the Xuanyuan Sword was a bit larger. As long as the external melting came into contact with the hole inside, the black fire would instantly dissipate!
I roused my spirit and lifted my head to look at Lu Zhenyang's afterimage. At this moment, his figure was so faint that I couldn't see it anymore. Only his upper body and head were left. His two legs couldn't be seen.
However, beyond my expectation, the anger in his eyes had disappeared. What replaced it was a playful look. He didn't pay attention to the black fire and just looked at me from a distance.
I didn't know why, but when I met his eyes, the excitement in my heart disappeared. What replaced it was a thick sense of anxiety.
Before I could understand what was going on, Lu Zhenyang's afterimage moved. He shook his body twice and lifted his feet. He directly walked out of the black fire!
I was stunned and then realized that Lu Zhenyang wasn't an afterimage. When the black fire was about to vanish, he finished the teleportation process and appeared in front of us!
The situation was originally good, but after Lu Zhenyang took that step, the tables were turned.
At this moment, the True Essence in my body was used up. The fatty was using all his strength to activate the Nine Yellow River Formation to fight against the black fire. Only Liu Ruxu's situation was unknown. Even if his cultivation wasn't used up, in terms of power, he couldn't be Lu Zhenyang's opponent...
What should I do?
I braced myself and didn't use the Xuan Yuan Sword to deal with the black fire. I waved my hand and retrieved the Xuan Yuan Sword.
After I retrieved the Xuan Yuan Sword, the remaining True Essence on it flowed back into my body. My dantian wasn't dry anymore.
However, when my True Essence was full, I still wasn't Lu Zhenyang's opponent. How could this weak True Essence support me to deal with Lu Zhenyang?
Despair surged in my heart, but I still used the remaining True Essence and took out the Xuan Yuan Sword. I took the initiative to attack Lu Zhenyang.
Lu Zhenyang looked at me from a distance. It was obvious that he saw through my current state. The playful look in his eyes became thicker. There was even a hint of mockery. Facing the Xuan Yuan Sword, he didn't take out any magic tools. He just lightly waved his sleeves and a surge of True Essence exploded. The Xuan Yuan Sword turned around and flew back to me. It couldn't even get close to him.
After forcing the Xuan Yuan Sword back, Lu Zhenyang stood in midair and leisurely walked towards me.
His steps looked slow, but in reality, he was extremely fast. Almost at the same time that the Xuan Yuan Sword returned, he appeared in front of me. He looked at me with a pair of cold eyes and said, "You and I have an irreconcilable grudge. This time, I gave up everything in exchange for you to help me. I was naive, but I can't blame you for going back on your word … However, since you went back on your word, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."
He didn't ask me about the Chi You inheritance. After saying that, he raised his right hand and the Chi You battle axe appeared in his hand.
Lu Zhenyang coldly looked at me and the Chi You battle axe in his hand chopped down!
Even if I was at my peak, I wouldn't be able to withstand Lu Zhenyang's furious attack, let alone now.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind. However, under the absolute suppression of power, I couldn't do anything. I could only watch as the blood-red axe approached me.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, my body was suddenly hit. I immediately heard the fatty's voice.
"Third Baby, get out of the way!"
Following this voice, before I could react, my body was knocked to the side, while the fatty appeared where I was previously.
He didn't make any movements and only lifted his head to stare at the blood-red axe. In his eyes, the sun and moon appeared.
Lu Zhenyang didn't know what kind of mystique the fatty was using, but his cultivation was far inferior to Lu Zhenyang's. The Chiyou Battle Axe wasn't obstructed at all. It still maintained its lightning speed and chopped down at the fatty's head.
Just as the blade of the axe was about to touch Fatty's body, a mass of greyish black light suddenly appeared. Then, Fatty's figure disappeared, and that mass of greyish black light replaced Fatty's body, fiercely colliding with the Chiyou Axe.
