The immortal's body was not enough. Blazing Huo took out a stove and poured out flames to trap the immortal's body.
The immortal's body did not have a soul. All he knew was to dash around.
Lu Li could give commands remotely. However, a fight between powerful warriors could end in an instant. Sometimes, it would be too late for him to give commands.
If it were Lu Li or the Deaf Taoist, they would either break the flames or run away as soon as they saw the flames surrounding them.
Lu Li explained the situation. The Deaf Taoist had no other choice. He nodded to Lu Li. The Wicked Bead glowed and the Deaf Taoist came out.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Deaf Taoist bellowed into the sky. His robe was torn apart and he was growing taller and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. A tail grew out from his back. His face became ferocious as he turned into a human-shaped gorilla.
The huge stone pillar appeared in his hand. He roared and dashed forward. Soon, he arrived in front of Blazing Huo and smashed the pillar at Blazing Huo.
"Ha, ha!"
Blazing Huo was not surprised at all. He sneered and said, "Deaf Taoist, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Since you dare to come in, then stay here forever."
"Fire Shield!"
"Meteoric Flames!"
"Will-O '-the-wisps!"
Blazing Huo did not move. While he was using the Fire Shield, he was also using flames. Among the flames, there were many Corpse Flames.
At the same time, Blazing Huo used a special kind of fire that he did not use before.
His body glowed with a blue flame. The flame disappeared in the air as soon as it appeared. The next moment, it appeared near Blazing Huo. The flame was floating. It looked like the face of a ferocious ghost. It was very strange.
"Bang!"
The Deaf Taoist's stone column smashed into the flame. He was smashed away. Blood oozed out from his mouth. Clearly, he was injured.
"Ah ~"
The Deaf Taoist was in a worse state. Over a dozen balls of will-o '-the-wisps appeared around him, making him scream in pain.
The heavenly flames and the Nine Heavens Netherworld Flames that rained down from the sky were too dense. Jiang Yi's body was too big, and he could not dodge them all. Two balls of Nine Heavens Netherworld Flames landed on him, and his skin and muscles were being burned at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it were just flames, the Deaf Taoist might be hurt. What was worse — this was the Nightmare of Darkness.
The Deaf Taoist was so focused on getting rid of the flames that he forgot about the Nightmare of Dreams.
His eyes gradually became confused. In the end, he finally tore off a few pieces of flesh on his body and shook off the Nine Heaven Ghost Fire, but he seemed to have fallen into a dream prison.
His body involuntarily floated up into the air, and his face revealed a hideous expression of pain. His eyes were tightly shut, and not a single sound came out.
"Oh no!"
Lu Li's mind was weighed down. It was okay that the Deaf Taoist was in the Nightmare of Dreams. Given the Deaf Taoist's abilities, he could break free from the Nightmare of Dreams and wake up.
More importantly, Blazing Huo was eyeing the Deaf Taoist. At the moment, the Deaf Taoist was defenseless. If Blazing Huo released some Death Flames, the Deaf Taoist would be burned into ashes.
"Let's risk it!"
Lu Li clenched his teeth and chose to believe in the silver dragon mark.
He dashed out from the Wicked Bead and into the Nightmare of Dreams. He swung his Relic weapon and hacked at Blazing Huo who was about to attack the Deaf Taoist.
"Hahaha!"
Blazing Huo was not scared when Lu Li dashed in. Instead, he laughed.
Blazing Huo hoped that Lu Li would go into the Nightmare of Dreams. Blazing Huo believed that Lu Li's soul was at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm. Blazing Huo could not stand the power of the Nightmare of Dreams. Eventually, Lu Li would be imprisoned in the Nightmare of Dreams and die here.
"Swish!"
Blazing Huo was suppressed by the force in heaven and earth. In the end, he was smashed away by the blood-red ray of sword light.
Soon, Lu Li sensed a surge of mysterious energy surging toward his Soul Pond.
That was an indescribable force. It was not like a soul attack. Instead, it was more like a picture was emerging in his mind.
In that picture, he felt everything around him had disappeared. From the distance came some ghosts and phantoms, rushing toward him, trying to tear him into pieces.
"Piss off —"
He wanted to swing his Relic weapon to attack the phantoms, but he could not move his hands.
Many phantoms began to tear his body apart. He was in great pain, but he could not make any sound.
He realized that his body and soul were separated. He could not control his body, not even to move a finger.
It was a strange and horrifying feeling!
"Buzzing ~"
Finally, the silver dragon mark glowed and moved around in Lu Li's Soul Pond.
The strange energy in Lu Li's Soul Pond was consumed by the silver dragon. Lu Li felt his soul could control his body again. He opened his eyes in delight.
He opened his eyes, only to be horrified. He realized that his body was floating, just like the other bodies and corpses floating in the air.
If it were not for the silver dragon mark, he would not be able to wake up for the rest of his life.
"What?
How is that possible? "
Blazing Huo, who was flying over from the distance, saw that Lu Li opened his eyes. He was as if he had seen a ghost.
He clearly saw Lu Li floating up. Clearly, he was in the Nightmare of Dreams. How come Lu Li had woken up so soon?
This was just too unbelievable.
A genius could be very powerful at a young age, but it was impossible for his soul to be strengthened so quickly.
Even if he were to take the best elixirs every day, he was still too young. How strong could his soul be after decades?
How could he compare with those warriors that had lived for hundreds or thousands of years?
"Charge!"
Lu Li came back to his senses. Without any hesitation, he hacked at Blazing Huo again.
He could not let Blazing Huo get close. Otherwise, the Deaf Taoist would be burned alive and Lu Li would lose a great warrior.
"Boom!"
Blazing Huo was smashed away. He was having second thoughts.
He knew that this was the best time to kill the Deaf Taoist. However, Lu Li's move was too powerful. Blazing Huo did not have much Li Fire left. He could not hold on much longer.
"Run!"
In the end, Blazing Huo made up his mind and fled. He could not stay in the Nightmare of Dreams for long. Once he was trapped in the Nightmare of Dreams, he would die.
Now that the Deaf Taoist was in the Nightmare of Dreams, Lu Li could not track him down. If the Deaf Taoist did not wake up for several days, then Blazing Huo would have enough time to run away. By then, he could dissolve the mark in his body and Lu Li would not be able to find him.
Lu Li watched as Blazing Huo ran away. He could not go after Blazing Huo. If Blazing Huo teleported, not only would Lu Li not be able to catch up with Blazing Huo, Lu Li himself would be lost as well.
Lu Li had to wait for the Deaf Taoist to wake up. He believed that given the Deaf Taoist's abilities, he would wake up soon.
If …
If the Deaf Taoist did not wake up in a day or two, it would not be easy for Lu Li to hunt down Blazing Huo.
Lu Li fed the Deaf Taoist some healing pellets and then went back into the Wicked Bead. He left the Nightmare of Dreams and waited quietly.
Time moved on. Lu Li was getting more and more impatient. Six hours later, the Deaf Taoist finally roared into the sky and opened his eyes.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Deaf Taoist was furious. He kept roaring to vent his anger and depression.
Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead over and said coldly, "Stop howling. If you keep howling, Blazing Huo will be gone. Come back now and we will go after him."
