Lu Li did not intend to run away from the lotus lamps. He wanted to test the strength of the Relic armor.
How could he fight against Blazing Huo if he could not even protect himself from the regular flames?
Blazing Huo had three special kinds of flames.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The lotus lamps bumped into Lu Li and burst out like fireworks. Lu Li found himself in a world of fire.
"Li-er!"
In the distance, Lu Renhuang shouted in terror. Many parts of his body were burnt, and his arm was burnt off because of the Lotus Fire Lamp. He didn't want to see Lu Li burned alive.
The next moment, Lu Renhuang's eyes glowed. Lu Li was standing in the center of the flames, but he was fine.
His face was not even charred. He stood in the center of the flames, at ease, like a god of fire.
"Impressive!"
Blazing Huo nodded to himself. The Relic armor was extraordinary. If Lu Li were to wear a Quasi Relic armor and be enveloped by the flames, he would be in agony, if not burned to death.
Now, Lu Li was standing in the center of the flames as if he were taking a stroll in his backyard. The Relic armor must have isolated the flames. Not even the high temperature could seep in.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li flew toward the lotus lamps. He began to fight back. He swung the Relic weapon and used the Slayer's move.
"Swish ~"
In an instant, the wind and clouds were stirred up. Heaven and earth changed color. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth swarmed over from all sides and trapped Blazing Huo.
A ray of blood-red sword light whooshed out from the black Relic weapon, tearing apart the sky and toward Blazing Huo.
"What …"
As soon as the Slayer's move was used, both Lu Renhuang and Blazing Huo were taken aback. Even civilians who did not know cultivation could tell how powerful this move was.
As the sword moved, heaven and earth changed color. The force in heaven and earth was mobilized. This move was more powerful than any Profound Meaning.
"Fire Shield!"
Blazing Huo deserved to be ranked number two among the Purgatory's Top 10. He could not move, but at this critical moment, black flames burst out from his body.
The black flames intertwined with each other and formed something like a cocoon. It seemed to be a tangible object.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The blood-red blade-light whizzed out and slashed at the shield formed by the black flames. The flames exploded layer by layer.
What shocked Lu Li was that in an instant, there were more than a dozen layers of flames. More black flames were coming out from Blazing Huo's body to build shields of fire.
In the end, all the flames were split apart. Blazing Huo was sent flying. His chest was badly mutilated.
But when Lu Li checked with psychic power, he noticed that Blazing Huo was not seriously injured. His skin was cracked and not even his bones were hurt.
"Very good!"
Blazing Huo took some healing pellets and put on a creepy grin. Gazing at Lu Li from the distance, he said, "Lu Li, you are good. Now, you are qualified to see my most powerful means."
The strange black flame just now should be one of the three mystical fires that Blazing Huo had tamed. Now that Blazing Huo said this, it was obvious that he was going to use the other two mystical fires.
Lu Li frowned but he didn't attack at once. Instead, he flew toward Lu Renhuang and shouted, "Father, don't fight back!"
As Lu Li approached Lu Renhuang, the Wicked Bead glowed.
Lu Renhuang didn't want to go into the Wicked Bead but Lu Li was determined. Lu Renhuang gave up after some thoughts.
With Lu Renhuang in, Lu Li was fearless. No matter how strong Blazing Huo's flames were, could they really burn Lu Li who was wearing a Relic armor?
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li flew over, ready to use the Slayer's move at Blazing Huo again. He wanted to see how many black flames Blazing Huo had.
"Shower of Fire!"
Blazing Huo was one step ahead of Lu Li. He waved his hands and summoned elements of fire in heaven and earth and condensed them in the air.
Then, balls of flames came into being and fell down from the sky like shooting stars.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Fire rained down from the sky, lighting up half the sky. Even from thousands of miles away, one could see the light here.
"Swish, swish ~"
Countless balls of fire fell, covering an area with a radius of several miles around Lu Li.
Those balls of fire smashed onto the ground and burst into flames. Soon, the area became a sea of fire, like a prison of fire.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li snorted. The prison of fire was made of Profound Meanings. It might look scary but it was not powerful.
It might be useful against an army, but it was pointless against Lu Li. It was not as powerful as the lotus lantern.
"Swish ~"
Once again, Lu Li used the Slayer's move. Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was affected. Blazing Huo was suppressed again.
There were no more balls of fire in the sky. The remaining ones whooshed down. As the last wave of fireballs fell, the sky grew darker again.
"Something is not right —"
All of a sudden, Lu Li was alarmed. He looked into the sky at once.
The Wicked Bead in his hand glowed at once. Lu Li disappeared into the Wicked Bead.
Among the balls of fire in the sky, there were some small flames. Those flames were white and looked like the faces of babies.
The space around those small flames was twisted. It was evident how hot they were.
Blazing Huo was smart. He released many balls of fire and hid the Corpse Flame among the regular flames.
If Lu Li had been careless, he would have been hit by the Corpse Flame.
Though he had a Relic armor, the Deaf Taoist once said that the flames were horrifying. If Lu Li was seriously injured, he might lose his life here today.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead. He did not stop. The Wicked Bead glowed as he dashed toward Blazing Huo.
Fast as the Wicked Bead was, it was too late. Two small balls of Corpse Flame smashed into the Wicked Bead.
The flames seemed to have a mind of their own. They attached themselves to the Wicked Bead and kept on burning it.
"How powerful the flames are!"
Lu Li sensed the consumption of energy in the Wicked Bead. He was taken aback. The two small balls of flames were as powerful as the Deaf Taoist's most powerful strike.
Also, the Corpse Flame was a continuous attack. Its comprehensive power could be compared to 10 Deaf Taoist's joint attack …
Fortunately, the Wicked Bead had absorbed a lot of energy over the years. Before Lu Li set off, the Wicked Bead's energy had recovered to ninety percent. It was impossible to crack the Wicked Bead easily.
"Bang!"
Blazing Huo was smashed away. Then, he used the black flames to form a shield to protect himself from most of the blood-red ray of sword light.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li smashed the Wicked Bead at Blazing Huo. Blazing Huo was afraid that Lu Li would come out at any time. He had to use the black flames to protect himself.
