The other several hundred people stood on top of the other icicles, watching the discord between their fellow disciples. Most of them frowned, afraid that something would go wrong with the mission.
Less than fifteen minutes later, Wu Ying suddenly paled and cried out, "A huge amount of energy is coming from underground! My ice formation can't hold it any longer!"
Everyone could feel the tremors coming from underground. Large swaths of ice were crumbling, and the icicles were melting. Some even shattered.
Weishengyi's pupils constricted, and his body began to exude a baleful aura. He coldly said, "The earth fire has been activated. Let's send that beast to the afterlife a moment earlier!"
Rumble! Rumble!
Large swaths of ice shattered, and the seawater boiled as immense heat came from below. The entire surface of the sea quickly turned crimson.
Wu Ying grunted and hurriedly retracted the array to protect her mind.
If she had been a moment slower, she might have been injured by the earth fire. Her hand seals changed, and she rose into the air, flying high into the sky. The icicles beneath her instantly crumbled and evaporated into steam.
Rumble!
The surface of the sea exploded, and a massive flame rose up like the sun, illuminating the world as bright as day.
The several hundred martial artists were extremely nervous as they scattered in the air.
But it was too late. The Earth Fire spewed out and swallowed everyone in an instant.
However, none of them were injured. They used their True Essence to protect their bodies, making it difficult for the earth fire to harm them. It was just that their True Essence was being consumed rather quickly.
Weishengyi stood in the flames, not moving at all. All he did was coldly stare down below. Suddenly, his eyes shone with cold light as he shouted, "The beast is here! Attack!"
"Die!"
Clang!
The word 'die' struck at almost the same time as the sword sound, and a massive white chain cleaved apart the earth fire.
A shadow flickered in the flames, and then a red dace appeared. It opened its mouth and spewed fire.
Bang!
The flames and sword light clashed, creating a massive explosion of light.
Weishengyi's expression was extremely unsightly.
The earth fire was extremely fierce, completely devouring Divine Sense and even blocking one's vision. Meanwhile, the fire dace was like a ball of flame, hiding in the eruption of earth fire. It was simply undetectable.
Wei Shengyi was enraged. He shouted at the crowd, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and kill that Fire Dace! "
Everyone braced themselves and pretended to attack, but in their hearts, they were furious. "If you can't find it yourself, how are we supposed to find it?"
"Ah!" Suddenly, a martial artist let out a blood-curdling scream, and suddenly disappeared in the flames. Only the shadow of a huge dace flashed by.
The faces of the surrounding people turned pale, knowing that they were eaten by the Fire Dace.
But in this continuous eruption of underground fire, where could they find the Fire Dace that had almost merged with the flames?
Yan Xue said in shock, "Big senior brother, we can't go on like this. Unless the Earth Fire is suppressed first, it is impossible to kill the Fire Dace. "
Kui Ying also said, "Why don't we leave first and come back to deal with that bastard after the eruption is over? At that time, it will have nowhere to go. "
Weishengyi's face darkened. "Of course I know we can wait, but do we have the time to do so? If the mission is not completed on time, the consequences are not something we can bear! "
At that moment, a few more martial artists were eaten by the Fire Dace. But no one saw the Fire Dace's shadow. A huge panic spread in the underground fire. Some martial artists secretly fled far away, clearly scared out of their wits.
Weishengyi was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He said hatefully, "Retreat first!"
He was also a person who was decisive in killing and punishing, a person who made prompt decisions. Knowing that it was meaningless to drag this out and would only increase the number of casualties, he decided to give up and think of a solution later.
At that moment, a huge shadow suddenly stood between the sea and the sky, slowly approaching the underground fire.
Everyone sensed it and turned to look.
Through the flames, they saw a huge sea monkey. It was bending down and reaching its hands into the fire. Before anyone could react, the sea monkey roared and tore the flames apart with its hands!
"Boom!"
A huge chasm was torn open in the spreading sea of fire!
"Sea monkey … this sea monkey … could it be …" Wu Ying stood in the fire in a daze. Looking at the sea monkey's appearance, it constantly overlapped with the figure in her mind.
She suddenly sensed that Weishengyi's sword-wielding hand shook. His face was overflowing with killing intent. She hurriedly shouted, "Eldest Senior Brother, don't attack!"
Weishengyi's arm trembled. He was about to slash out when he stopped. He frowned, revealing a puzzled expression.
At that moment, the sea monkey's eyes flashed with a golden light. It reached out with its palm, grabbed the fire, and raised it high.
The sea monkey's huge furry hand grabbed a ball of flame and struggled violently.
What kind of flame was that? It was the Fire Dace!
The Fire Dace's cultivation was at the early stage of the Celestial Phase. The Sea Monkey couldn't hold on any longer. It suddenly leaned back and threw it out like a baseball.
A red light flashed in the air and fell into the distant sea. Where the Fire Dace landed, the seawater emitted sizzling sounds as large amounts of bubbles and white smoke surged.
Weishengyi's pupils shrank as he said in joy, "Quickly stop that Fire Dace. Don't let it return to the earth fire!"
When his voice fell, he was already a thousand feet away. Like a sword beam, he shot towards the Fire Dace.
All the warriors understood and hurriedly chased after him.
Wu Ying was extremely excited. Looking at the indomitable sea monkey, she couldn't stop crying.
Sure enough, when the sea monkey changed, she saw a familiar figure.
Wu Ying couldn't help but sob, "You're not dead yet! I knew you wouldn't die. "
Yang Qingxuan came out of the fire and said, "I was worried that something had happened to you. It's good that you're fine." He gently stroked Wu Ying's hair and smiled.
Wu Ying's nose turned sour, and she cried even harder.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Now is not the time to reminisce. That Fire Dace is very strong. Let's solve the problem in front of us first."
The two turned into streaks of light and flew out of the earth fire. An extremely strong energy ripple caused a huge wave to surge out, assaulting his face.
Then, the sea quietened down.
The Fire Dace was already dead in the sea. Its body was pierced through by Weishengyi's sword.
Weishengyi kept the carcass in his storage item. After all, it was an extremely rare material. It was so rare that it was priceless.
Yang Qingxuan was secretly shocked. He was wary of Weishengyi. He had come into contact with the Fire Dace before. It was in the early stage of the Celestial Realm. Furthermore, it was in the sea. Even an Emperor celestial late stage martial artist might not be able to kill it.
Yang Qingxuan thought to himself, 'Could this person be an Emperor celestial full circle martial artist?'
In the blink of an eye, Weishengyi was in front of him. A pair of cold eyes stared at him. After sizing him up, he nodded and said, "You're not bad."
Kui Ying hurried over and introduced, "Senior brother, this is Yang Qingxuan!"
