At that moment, the atmosphere turned tense. The red-dressed girl was isolated and helpless. Losing her sect's Extreme Frost-ice Flame was a serious crime to begin with. She could only pin her hopes on Skyfire Sacred Hands.
Skyfire Sacred Hands looked at Yi Yun and said coldly, "Yue'er lost to you because her skills were inferior. But don't you think you are being too shameless by bullying the weak? Also, you have devoured my Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect's Extreme Frost-ice Flame. Such a flame is unique to my Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect. It's best you hand it over immediately or not only will I not spare you, my Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect will also pursue you! "
Skyfire Sacred Hands's voice was filled with killing intent, but Yi Yun thought nothing of it. "Shameless? A foolish woman that came in front of me asking for a beating naturally deserves a slap. I was already being merciful by not crippling her dantian. "
Although Yi Yun thought nothing of the Extreme Frost-ice Flame, he had already devoured it. It had already become a part of the Heretical God Fire Seed, so how could he return it?
"You are courting death!" Skyfire Sacred Hands was incensed as he suddenly took a step forward. His eyes burned with a fiery glow as two dazzling flames transformed into two fire pythons that surged at Yi Yun!
This was his intrinsic flame, named the Soaring Serpent Skyfire. It was the manifestation of a fire essence that had been nurtured for millions of years in a land of scorching heat. It had taken the form of a Soaring Serpent and was captured by Skyfire Sacred Hands's master. He refined it into his eyes, and the reason why he was known as Skyfire Sacred Hands was because his eyes were fused with such a fire essence.
And the rarest thing was that the Soaring Serpents Skyfire Sacred Hands had fused with were a pair. The scorching land had given birth to two Soaring Serpents of the same origin. The two complemented each other, greatly increasing their strength!
When Skyfire Sacred Hands saw Yi Yun's flame, he sensed its strangeness. However, he had a Skyfire, a supreme-grade flame. It had always been successful, so why should he be afraid?
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Since you refuse to return it, I can only take it back myself, "rebuked Skyfire Sacred Hands angrily.
The two Soaring Serpents charged at Yi Yun aggressively, hoping to burn Yi Yun to death.
Upon seeing the two Soaring Serpents, everyone held their breaths. Skyfire Sacred Hands was famous because of the Soaring Serpent Skyfire in his eyes. Now, Skyfire Sacred Hands was using the Soaring Serpent Skyfire against his enemy.
"Yi Yun!" City Lord Qin's Yuan Qi voice transmission rang in Yi Yun's ears. He was worried for Yi Yun and was about to take action, but at that moment, Yi Yun had already gently sent the black flame in his hand forward. "Go!"
The Heretical God Fire Seed was connected to Yi Yun's soul. The fire was equivalent to a part of him, allowing him to control it as he pleased.
As Yi Yun sent the Heretical God Fire Seed forward, the Heretical God Fire Seed suddenly transformed into a raging blackish-gray flame. Despite the heatwave inundating them, it gave them a chilling feeling. It was as though the flame came from the deepest abyss.
The gray flame blocked the two Soaring Serpents. Skyfire Sacred Hands sneered when he saw this. The two Soaring Serpents had been refined by Skyfire Sacred Hands for two thousand years. Their strength had increased along with Skyfire Sacred Hands's growth. Over the years, Skyfire Sacred Hands had gathered countless fire spirits and spirit flames for the Soaring Serpent Skyfire to consume. Although Yi Yun's flame was strange, he believed that with his years of fire-controlling techniques, he would definitely be able to subdue and devour it. As such, his Soaring Serpent Skyfire's strength would greatly increase! Perhaps, his fire spirit's quality would increase as a result.
With a thought from Skyfire Sacred Hands, the Soaring Serpents immediately expanded in size. With a roar, they opened their mouths wide and swallowed the black flames.
The Heretical God Fire Seed flew into the Soaring Serpents' bodies as the two serpents constantly devoured the black flames. The violent flames made the people around the platform involuntarily retreat.
When Yi Yun saw this scene, a sneer flashed in his eyes.
"To think that these two tiny serpents would dare devour my fire. Aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach!?"
Back when the divine alchemist obtained the Heretical God Fire Seed, he had once obtained the Celestial Empyrean Cleansing Flame, which was ranked third in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. He wanted to use it to fuse with the Heretical God Fire Seed, but in the end, the Celestial Empyrean Cleansing Flame was devoured by the Heretical God Fire Seed.
It was a joke to think that a mere Soaring Serpent Skyfire could devour the Heretical God Fire Seed.
And at that moment, the Soaring Serpents had already devoured large amounts of the black flames. Skyfire Sacred Hands was fully focused on controlling the Soaring Serpents, but to his surprise, he sensed that Yi Yun had given up resisting. He did not exert much control over the black flames and instead allowed the Soaring Serpents to devour his flames.
Once the flames were devoured, they would naturally become a part of the Soaring Serpents.
But at that moment, the Soaring Serpents suddenly stopped devouring and began to writhe.
Skyfire Sacred Hands was taken aback before his expression changed drastically.
He sensed that the gray flames that had been devoured by the Soaring Serpents did not fuse with them. Instead, they gathered within the Soaring Serpents and began devouring them instead!
"What … What's going on?" Skyfire Sacred Hands hurriedly retracted all his flames in an attempt to expel the gray flames. However, the gray flames that had been devoured were like maggots in one's bones. It was easy to invite them in but difficult to send them away.
Seeing the Soaring Serpents constantly being devoured, Skyfire Sacred Hands's eyes turned bloodshot. The two Soaring Serpents could be said to be the foundation of his existence. How could he fail to devour a tiny flame plume in front of everyone? Instead, he was being devoured!
But no matter how Skyfire Sacred Hands tried to control the two Soaring Serpents, the two Soaring Serpents rapidly weakened.
As the Soaring Serpents were almost completely replaced by the gray flames, Skyfire Sacred Hands felt a stabbing pain in his eyes.
It was severed!
The Skyfire that he had nurtured for more than two thousand years had been devoured by the strange flame!
At that moment, the gray flames had transformed back into a tiny flame plume and flew back into Yi Yun's palm. As for the two Soaring Serpents that were baring their fangs, they had vanished into thin air.
Everyone looked at the flame with a completely different expression. The flame did not seem to have changed much despite devouring the two Soaring Serpents. They never expected that Skyfire Sacred Hands's attack would result in such an outcome.
The red-dressed girl was stunned as well. Her Extreme Frost-ice Flame had been devoured. It was only a child flame after all. However, her martial uncle had sacrificed his Skyfire Soaring Serpent in order to help her snatch the Extreme Frost-ice Flame back.
"Are you guys trying to save your grandpa?" Yi Yun found it amusing. If Skyfire Sacred Hands were to fight him head-on, he would only be able to fend him off. He never expected Skyfire Sacred Hands to use the Soaring Serpent Skyfire to devour the Heretical God Fire Seed. That was truly courting death.
"Skyfire Sacred Hands — Oh, that's not right. You no longer have a Skyfire. Your medical skills are clearly lacking, so you can no longer be called sacred hands. Then, what should I call you? "Yi Yun said happily. The Soaring Serpents were incomparable to the wisp of Extreme Frost-ice Flame's child flame. After devouring the Soaring Serpent, the Heretical God Fire Seed was like it had eaten a great tonic.
It was also greatly beneficial to the slumbering Ling Xie'er.
Yi Yun had come to the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet to first obtain the treasures prepared by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. Then, he had obtained the Skyfire Soaring Serpent. His harvest was truly bountiful.
