All the demonic beasts fled. It was apparent that they had all sensed an extremely dangerous signal. A great demon was about to arrive.
At that moment, an extremely cold will shrouded the vast space. Ye Futian shuddered and felt cold all over. The dense forest below was covered in a layer of frost in an instant. It was frozen right there and then.
However, it was not over yet. In the next moment, another terrible heat came, turning from cold to heat. Large swathes of the dense forest withered and died.
The cold and the heat kept alternating. Ye Futian did not hesitate and continued to fly, preparing to leave this place and retreat the way he came.
Li Xuan had ulterior motives. He naturally wanted to get close to the others of Dali Dynasty by turning back.
Far away in the sky, a great demon of crimson red rushed forward. Everywhere it passed, not a blade of grass grew. Its breath alternated between cold and heat. When it exhaled, frost swept the sky and earth, and when it inhaled, it became extremely hot.
This great demon was hundreds of meters long. Its body was covered in hard scales. Its huge head was actually that of a human, with antennae.
It had a human head and a dragon's body. It was Zhuyin, also known as the Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon continued to move forward, chasing after Li Xuan.
There were saints among Li Xuan's group, and they led them forward. They were still chasing after Ye Futian. Even though Ye Futian traversed the sky, he was still unable to shake them off.
Saints were incredibly fast. Their bodies seemed to have melded with the world around them.
The Candle Dragon's body was incredibly fast as well. It continued to close the distance between it and Li Xuan's group. Naturally, it was also closing the distance between it and Ye Futian.
Whoosh … The Candle Dragon breathed, and the world was frozen. A cold will of the great path swept through the sky, and the air seemed to have been frozen. Ye Futian's speed was greatly affected. Sword will circled around him, and he streaked through the air, cutting through the frozen will. He continued to move forward, but his speed was not as fast as before.
"Brother Seventh Swordsman, hurry up." At that moment, Li Xuan and the others, who were traveling on divine implements, overtook Ye Futian and continued to move forward. Ye Futian's cold eyes swept over them, but he did not say anything. The sword will on his body grew stronger, howling madly, tearing through the frozen power that bound him as he moved forward.
Ye Futian tried to change his direction, going in a different direction from Li Xuan's, but the candle dragon was still staring at him, so he went straight ahead.
Before long, the torch dragon approached and closed its eyes. In that instant, the world turned dark and dark, turning into night in an instant.
The sky suddenly darkened, and Ye Futian seemed to have gone blind. He could not see anything and could only move forward instinctively. Not only that, but his Spiritual Energy was also greatly restricted, and he also fell into darkness.
He naturally knew that this was Torch Dragon's innate ability.
Within his Life Palace, the World Tree swayed gently. Wisps of aura emanated from it and enveloped his body, allowing him to perceive everything in the world. His eyes changed, and they seemed to contain a divine light that could see through the darkness. Even though he was still affected, he was no longer blind.
A strong sense of danger descended upon him as a chill enveloped his body. There was a terrifying pressure approaching him from behind as a gigantic claw smashed down on him. In front of the Zhulong's huge body, he was like an ant, appearing extremely tiny.
There were differences between saints, even if they were all on the same plane, and it was naturally the same for demonic beasts.
While this Demon Saint Candle Dragon was also at the first plane of Saint Plane, it was obviously stronger than the Demon Saints he had fought before.
The Swords of Kasyapa that had coalesced around Ye Futian swept out, shuttling through the air like bolts of lightning, whizzing past the Zhulong's claw and piercing towards his head.
The Zhulong glanced at Ye Futian with contempt and breathed out again. Frost covered the sky and the air, and the space was frozen. The Swords of Kasyapa that were shuttling through the air appeared and were covered in frost, frozen in place.
Ye Futian coalesced a huge Sword of Storm before him, and his body spun behind him. The claw descended and blasted the huge sword, sending Ye Futian's body flying.
He fell back thousands of meters and stood in the air. The Zhulong opened its eyes, causing the night to disappear, turning it into day.
"Senior, there is no enmity between us. Are you chasing the wrong person?" Ye Futian asked.
The candle dragon glanced at him coldly and continued forward. He opened his mouth wide and breathed. At that moment, the heavens and the earth were frozen. Ye Futian only felt that his body had been frozen into frost. The World Tree within him swayed, and the light of the sun emanated from his body. At that moment, his entire body was scorching hot. It was as if there were suns on his body, driving away the frost.
Around him, the dazzling screen of swords that tore through the air appeared again. He held the sword with both hands and walked in the air. The air trembled as he walked, and his aura surged. His entire person seemed to have become one with the Heavenly Path, melding into the sword.
Voom. His body, shrouded in the screen of swords, tore through the frozen will and rushed towards the Zhulong's body. The Zhulong's eyes closed again, and the sky and earth became dark again, but it did not affect Ye Futian's eyes at all. The sword tore through the air, rubbing against the Zhulong's claws, and sliced towards its head. However, the power of the Great Path of Cold and Heat was extremely strong.
The sword was unable to move forward, and the Zhulong's claws came down again. The sword was shattered, and Ye Futian was sent flying again. He grunted, and blood seeped from his mouth.
This time, he did not continue to retreat. He held the sword again and stared at the Zhulong.
At that moment, Li Xuan and the others were already far away. Cold murderous intent flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
No matter how strong Ye Futian was, when faced with the Demon Saint Zhulong, only death would await him.
Going alone?
In the West Mountain, even those at the first level of the Saint Plane would not dare to go alone, as they might run into Demon Saints.
Ye Futian had actually dared to go deep into the West Mountain alone, relying on his extraordinary combat ability.
Dying at the hands of the Great Demon Zhulong had nothing to do with him.
"Watch out. There are demonic beasts approaching." A voice was heard at that moment. Li Xu, Li Xuan's brother, frowned. He was a Saint, and he sensed a dangerous aura. There was very strong demonic aura coming from far away.
Li Xuan and his party stopped and saw powerful demonic aura coming from several directions.
They soon saw a Chiseltooth Demon Saint at the very front, with several Sage Plane demonic beasts in tow. However, there were fewer of them than when it fought Ye Futian back then.
The Chiseltooth Demon Saint's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Li Xuan and the others burst with powerful auras. They then looked in another direction and saw a demonic beast that looked like an ape all over its body. The flames seemed to have come from hell, and it carried a huge staff in its hand. It was a ferocious beast, Zhuyan.
There was an extremely ferocious snake demon in another direction, with nine heads.
Other than the Demon Saints, there were many Sage Plane demonic beasts there as well.
Li Xuan and the others instantly realized that they had been ambushed by demonic beasts, and it was not just one demonic beast. Their expressions became extremely grim.
Sacred golden dragons rose from the body of Li Xu, Li Xuan's brother, and shot into the sky. They then roared at the sky, causing the sky to shake. It seemed that they were sending a message far away.
Many looked up at the sky in the west mountain, and then headed in that direction. Someone had been ambushed.
"Retreat," Li Xu said. Li Xu said, and their bodies began to retreat to the rear. The demonic beasts rushed forward and rushed towards them.
The violent and ferocious Zhuyan descended with the flames of hell. Its staff came down, and it seemed as if the sky and earth were about to collapse. A Saint stepped forward, holding a divine implement in his hand, which burst with dazzling golden defensive patterns. A loud rumble was heard, and the air seemed to have cracked. Li Xuan and his party retreated quickly, and the demonic beasts all rushed at them, emanating intense murderous intent.
However, Li Xuan's party was actually very powerful. There were three Saints, all of whom were from the Prince Regent's Residence.
But even so, they still retreated all the way, focusing on defense. The situation before them was a bit tricky, and they were waiting for reinforcements to arrive before killing these beasts in one fell swoop.
After a short while, Li Xuan and his party actually retreated back to where Ye Futian and the candle dragon were fighting.
Moreover, at that moment, one man and one demonic beast were still locked in a stalemate. However, Ye Futian was already injured, but sword will still circled around him.
Li Xuan frowned. This candle dragon still had not been able to kill the Seventh Swordsman?
As for the Chiseltooth, the Nine-Headed Snake, and the other Medicine Saints, their murderous intent soared when they saw Ye Futian. Before, Ye Futian had killed their clansmen, but he had escaped.
Ye Futian naturally knew the murderous intent of these demonic beasts. In fact, these demonic beasts had been lured here by those Sage Plane demonic beasts that he had controlled.
Did Li Xuan and the others just want to leave him here?
The Demon Saints all charged towards Ye Futian with cold murderous intent, but because Li Xuan and his party were closer to those demonic beasts, it seemed as if they were also walking towards them.
"Brother Li Xuan, let's work together," Ye Futian said, and his body flashed towards Li Xuan and the others.
Since Li Xuan was going to call him Brother Seventh Swordsman, then he would not hold back.
However, at that moment, Ye Futian's heart was cold, and he was filled with murderous intent. He naturally noticed that there were three Saints in Li Xuan's lineup.
What did that mean?
They had enough power to deal with the candle dragon, but they lured it towards him, and then they fled on their own. Their purpose was self-evident.
That was a sure-kill situation. If he had been a little weaker, he would have died at the hands of the candle dragon.
If he had been killed by demonic beasts in the west mountain, it could only be said that he, the Seventh Swordsman, had been killed by his own arrogance and ignorance. It had nothing to do with Li Xuan.
Those Demon Saints had very strong murderous intent towards Ye Futian, and they charged at him at the same time. It seemed as if they were charging at Li Xuan's camp.
Suddenly, three Saint Plane cultivators attacked at the same time, blocking the attacks of the Demon Saints. The rest of the demonic beasts charged at them in a frenzy, and a terrible battle broke out in an instant.
As for the candle dragon, it did not act rashly, but stared coldly at Ye Futian.
At that moment, its huge body moved forward and continued to charge in Ye Futian's direction, as if it was determined to kill Ye Futian.
Ye Futian raised his eyebrows, and a thought flashed in his mind.
If it had been because Li Xuan and the others had fled, then the candle dragon would have been staring at him.
At that moment, he was with Li Xuan and the others, so why was the candle dragon still staring at him?
Perhaps it was more than just a diversion!
