"What a foolish human. They've put on such a great show. If they can't even seal off the region, Gongyuan would have fled a long time ago, alright?"
Li Qingshan shook his head and sighed. Great Shifting talismans were precious, but he did not lack them. However, Yin Qing in the Asura Field had already told him that the surrounding space had been disturbed by a great power. Even if she used a spatial movement technique, she might not necessarily be able to escape. If a layman tried to rush out with a talisman, he would be courting death.
Gongyuan glanced back and shot a glance at Li Qingshan. "I don't know if you're really that bold, or if there's something wrong with your head. Do you really think the fire devourers will spare you out of the kindness of their hearts?"
"Heh, I'm not that naive. They can spare anyone, but not me. I'm guessing I'm their third target after you and fellow Ji, right, Fire Devouring Kings?" Li Qingshan asked loudly.
"Yes, but you're wrong about something."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"You're their second target!" Zhu Yan said, "You managed to escape last time, but you're dead for sure this time!"
That took everyone by surprise. They all looked at Li Qingshan. The fire devourers had actually treated him as an enemy only second to the Merfolk Queen, even ranking above a great cultivator like Ji Changfeng. Just what had he done to the fire devourers?
In the beginning, Zhu Yan did not take Li Qingshan too seriously. He had merely chased away a foolish mortal with delusions of his own accord. However, after Li Qingshan destroyed the entire Myriad Poison cult and killed a hundred thousand Bone Eating shamans, Zhu Yan no longer dared to think like that anymore. He had not undergone the third heavenly tribulation, yet he was already so vicious. If he really did undergo the third heavenly tribulation, then what would happen to him? With his age, that was basically a given. Compared to Ji Changfeng who was nearing the end of his lifespan, he was a truly terrifying threat. He had to be nipped in the bud.
Gongyuan suddenly found Li Qingshan to be much more pleasing to the eye. Compared to Ji Changfeng, that overcautious old man who only wanted to maintain a neutral position, this was called having a firm stance and soaring ambitions. Of course, it would be even better if he managed to kill a Fire Devouring King.
Li Qingshan laughed heartily. "Zhu Yan, I didn't expect you to have such good eyesight. However, it's still unknown who will live and who will die! Fire Devouring Queen, what did I say? I have grievances with the fire devourers. You should be glad you didn't fall out with me in the Feilian hall right now! "
"Hmph, then why aren't you joining hands with us to fight against the enemy?"
Gongyuan's voice softened. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At this juncture of life and death, that little conflict of the past was nothing.
"Sure!" Li Qingshan flew to the peak of the mountain and transmitted his voice: "However, I have a small condition. I heard that you have a 'Heart of the Abyss', if you give it to me, I will help you escape. How about it?"
"How did you know?" Gongyuan's expression changed slightly. Very few people cultivated All Water to Ruin's End.
Even among the Merfolk, there aren't a lot of people who know about the Heart of the Abyss, so how does a kid from the Green province know so much? An idea flashed through her head. "You know that wretched spawn?"
"Don't worry about how I know. All I'm asking is whether you're going to give it to me or not," said Li Qingshan.
"Don't even think about it!" Gongyuan was infuriated by Li Qingshan's actions of "taking advantage of the situation". She tossed aside the sliver of good impression she had just developed.
"That's up to you, but I'd advise you to consider the bigger picture."
Li Qingshan returned to his original position and stood with his hands behind his back, continuing to watch the show. The current situation was indeed dangerous, but after considering it calmly, he discovered that the danger was not fatal. Instead, it was an opportunity.
If the three Fire Devouring Kings had come for him, then he would truly be in life-threatening danger. The danger was no less than when he faced the Dragon King Of The Sea. However, their primary target was still Gongyuan at the end of the day, and he did not believe he was second. Once Ji Changfeng escaped, they would truly become sworn enemies. The significance of killing Gongyuan on Fire Melt mountain would diminish drastically.
With the two of them at the front, he was confident that escaping would not be a problem. The Phoenix's Nirvāṇa was enough to withstand a fatal attack, and his Tremors of the Ox Demon was enough to blast through the seal of the domain. As long as he left Giant Ship island and directly used a Great Shifting talisman to flee, it would be impossible for the fire devourers to split up and chase after him. Perhaps he could even do something while Fire Melt mountain was empty.
Gongyuan's expression stiffened. If it were not for the fact that a powerful enemy was right beside her, she basically could not help but kill Li Qingshan. She became doubtful again, Don't tell me he really has a way to escape? That's impossible. The three Divine Fire Seals have already turned Giant Ship island into a domain of fire. Even I can't think of a good way to escape.
Their communication through soul sense only happened in a split second. They did not waste a single second.
Main-mast mountain trembled gently. Scorching lava surged at the foot of the mountain as the flames blazed fiercely. The protective formation gave off waves of light to defend, but after losing its foundation, it rapidly dimmed.
"You're about to die, yet you're still so stubborn! Alright, I'll make you die together and send you to the afterlife together! "
Zhu Zai snorted coldly. The "Fire Tablet of Earth" produced a ring of flames. The flames on Giant Ship island all surged towards Main-mast mountain. In a single moment, it actually enveloped the entire mountain, turning it into a "mountain of flames".
Ji Changfeng no longer cared about waving the Feilian flag. He focused on controlling the protective formation. Even his hair and beard were dyed red by the firelight. He roared out, "Fellow Ye, what are you hesitating for?"
Ye Duanhai remained motionless the entire time. In terms of direct battle prowess, it was very likely for him to be the strongest on the island as a great sword cultivator.
"Pavilion master Ye, we fire devourers have clear boundaries. You should leave with your disciple! However, you should reconsider his majesty's invitation, or the flames of the Cloud Sail sect might even reach the South Sea Sword pavilion in the future! "
Zhu Yan said right afterwards. This was both an order from the King of Southern Yue, as well as a concern for Ye Duanhai's strength. Their primary objective this time was still to kill Gongyuan. If the enemy gained another great sword cultivator, it would add a lot of variables, so they might as well just let him go.
"Feel free to come."
A sliver of cold light flashed through Ye Duanhai's eyes. He understood that the fire devourers had purposefully mentioned the King of Southern Yue to draw their hatred. He had never planned on getting involved in this mess in the first place, or he would have taken action a long time ago. Right when he was about to leave with his disciple, he glanced at Li Qingshan again. He had agreed to help Li Qingshan once, and right now, it seemed like Li Qingshan needed help the most.
If Li Qingshan spoke up, he would truly be troubled. He had some confidence in escaping after a great battle against the fire devourers, but his disciples would probably all die here. He secretly made up his mind to never bring so many people with him again in the future. As a swordsman, he had to do things alone, without any ties or ties.
"Pavilion master Ye, there's no need to look at me. You can go! Three measly fire devourers aren't enough to take my life. You can take Yu Wufeng with you too. Go back and cultivate properly. Once you've made up your mind to undergo the tribulation, I'll remove the blood oath. "
Li Qingshan waved his hand in an unconcerned manner. He could not waste this opportunity he had obtained after so much difficulty here.
"Fellow Li, aren't you cutting off your own path of survival?!" Ji Changfeng panicked, and Gongyuan also hated Li Qingshan so much that she ground her teeth. Like that, the situation became a little more dangerous. They had basically lost their final chance of survival.
"There's no need to look at me. They have no grievances with the fire devourers, so they never planned on fighting in the first place. Do you really think you can beg someone else for your own path of survival? There's only a battle! "Li Qingshan said.
"What a King of Savages. I, Ye Duanhai, will remember this!"
Ye Duanhai clasped his hands towards Li Qingshan, showing a hint of respect. With his disciples, he fell into a sword formation and rushed out of Main-mast mountain. Sure enough, the fire devourers opened up a path. The sea of fire parted, allowing Ye Duanhai to dive into the ocean. He vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Wait, we have no grievances with the fire devourers either. Don't fire devourers draw a clear line between love and hate? Please spare our lives! "" Yeah, yeah. I've always hated Merfolk. I have no intention of becoming enemies with Fire Melt mountain. "
The cultivators of the South sea called out loudly, solemnly swearing to sever their ties with the Cloud Sail sect and the Merfolk of the South sea.
Zhu Fen said, "Hah, do you know what fire devourers hate the most? Weaklings! Because you're too weak, you're all going to die today! "
The cultivators of the South sea cursed aloud, but it only made Zhu Fen laugh madly. He said to Zhu Yan, "King Yan, it's about time. It's time for you to take action!"
"I've been running out of patience a long time ago!"
Zhu Yan raised the Fire Tablet of Man high into the air. Zhu Fen and Zhu Zai's powers gathered on him alone, and the Fire Tablet of Man blazed with flames.
"Fire of Man, Descent of the Fire God! All of you can die! "
The flames that burned through Main-mast mountain suddenly swept up and gathered together.
With a loud dragon's roar, a fire dragon whistled out of the sea of fire. It was complete with scales and claws, and its claws and teeth were distinct. It swung its tail viciously against the formation, and the light flickered.
"That's it?" Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow. Compared to the flames of heaven and the flames of earth, the "Fire of Man" was a little too weak. The fire dragon possessed the strength of a regular Daemon King, but that was all there was to it. And it even said something like "all of you can die!"
Gongyuan suddenly communicated with Li Qingshan in a hurry, "If you can help me break free from here, I'll lend you the Heart of the Abyss for a year!"
"I'll lend you the Heart of the Abyss for a year!"
"Ten years!"
"Three years!"
"Five years!"
"Alright!"
As if she was extremely worried, Gongyuan agreed to Li Qingshan's request very soon. In that short moment of communication, another dragon's roar rang out. The two dragons swam about, and Gongyuan's expression became sterner and sterner. Suddenly, the backs of the two dragons bent down, and a pair of huge feet condensed from flames stood on the dragons. Gazing up along the feet, a colossal figure flickered in and out of the sea of fire, gradually taking shape.
It was a giant god of fire that stood on two dragons. Its well-defined body was like a mountain, and it radiated with a primitive, savage aura. Its face was distorted and indistinct in the flames, but every single cultivator felt an unprecedented pressure. They were all shocked.
Li Qingshan frowned. He basically felt like he was facing the Dragon King Of The Sea, and compared to the Dragon King Of The Sea's unpredictability, this giant god of fire that radiated with a violent aura was without a doubt more offensive. Once it struck, it would definitely be earth-shattering. None of the people present would be able to face it head-on.
The three Fire Devouring Kings in the air were all excited. Holding the Divine Fire tablets with both hands, they bowed towards the giant god of fire from afar.
"Burn everything, great god Zhurong!"
