"Martial uncle, due to our panic earlier, we've made a mess of this place. We can't tell which direction that bastard Ling Dong fled in!" In the ruins of the underground palace, Gong Zhi, who was walking on the left, said helplessly after a careful inspection.
"Search carefully. Use your soul to sense even the slightest difference. We have to find Ling Dong and kill him first. This kid seems to have a lot of secrets on him. Oh, right, remember to search his soul after you kill him!" Zou Qinghao frowned when he heard Gong Zhi's reply. His eyes shone brightly as he began to search carefully again.
On their way back, they encountered a few waves of one or two extremely oppressive frost spirits. Kong Da and the others had to expend quite a bit of effort to deal with them, and only then did they manage to find their way here.
"That's right. Ling Dong has a lot of secrets on him. From what we've seen of his battle prowess, this kid's potential is limitless. We have to kill him now, or there'll be great trouble in the future!" Kong Da sighed emotionally.
"A great calamity has arrived …" Suddenly, a strange and stern voice sounded faintly in everyone's ears, causing Kong Da, Zou Qinghao, and Gong Zhi to be shocked at the same time.
"Who's there?" The three of them roared at almost the same time.
"Martial uncle, there's someone there!" Gong Zhi, who was on the left, pointed at the shadow of a broken pillar and exclaimed in shock. Kong Da and Zou Qinghao instantly focused their attention there.
Zou Qinghao was unafraid. With a wave of his hand, he sent an astral blade towards the shadow, testing it out.
Just as Zou Qinghao was testing it out, Kong Da's face filled with shock. "Ling Dong? You actually dared to walk right into a trap? "
Gong Zhi was also very surprised when he heard his martial uncle's judgement. He stared at the figure in the shadow with some surprise.
With a flash, the figure avoided Zou Qinghao's astral blade and suddenly appeared before Kong Da, Zou Qinghao, and the others. "Who's walking right into a trap? That's not certain yet!" said Ling Dong sinisterly as he revealed himself.
"Ling Dong, it really is you?" Gong Zhi involuntarily took a few steps back when he saw Ling Dong, who had suddenly appeared to seek his own death. The anger and courage that he had felt earlier, when he wanted to chop Ling Dong into eight pieces, had completely disappeared at this moment. Not even a trace remained.
Ling Dong's previous display of strength had planted a seed of fear in Gong Zhi's heart.
"Shameless boasting! Aren't you afraid that the wind will cut your tongue if you brag too much? Take one of my moves first! " Zou Qinghao's confidence was much stronger than Gong Zhi's. Without saying a word, his Divine Sense moved and a round ball of spikes flew out from the top of his head. With a strange whistling sound, it blasted towards Ling Dong.
At the same time, Zou Qinghao suddenly pursed his lips and let out a shrill whistle. In the twisting sound, streaks of golden light shot towards Ling Dong like ten thousand arrows. Above each streak of golden light, a faint shadow of Zou Qinghao appeared faintly.
Zou Qinghao was indeed one of the Four Heavenly Heroes. Although he looked down on Ling Dong verbally, those who were familiar with him, such as Kong Da and Gong Zhi, knew that Zou Qinghao had already regarded Ling Dong as his most dangerous opponent. He had used his most powerful killing move from the start.
In particular, the Soul Secret Skill of Ten Thousand Soul Arrows, which resembled ten thousand arrows, was Zou Qinghao's trump card. He would not use it unless he was facing a strong opponent!
Seeing Zou Qinghao's double attack, Kong Da even smiled approvingly. What he admired most was Zou Qinghao's calmness and attitude of not underestimating his opponent.
"Insignificant skill!" Seeing such an attack, Ling Dong's lips moved slightly, but he spat out four words that made Kong Da frown and Gong Zhi jump to his feet.
"Pooh! Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, take it first and then …" Out of a certain mentality, Gong Zhi spat fiercely at Ling Dong. But before he finished speaking, his cursing at Ling Dong stopped abruptly!
Although Zou Qinghao's Ten Thousand Soul Arrows and the round spiky ball came one after the other, they arrived at Ling Dong's head at the same time. Just as Ling Dong's head was about to collapse, a circle of annoying red brilliance suddenly emerged from Ling Dong's head. Not only did it block all of Zou Qinghao's Ten Thousand Soul Arrows, but the circle of red brilliance did not seem to be damaged in the slightest!
When Ling Dong blocked Zou Qinghao's Ten Thousand Soul Arrows, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain. To be honest, if Zou Qinghao had used other attacks, Ling Dong might have been afraid. But Zou Qinghao's Soul Attack in front of Ling Dong was like a thief meeting a thief's ancestor. It was useless!
Ling Dong easily blocked Zou Qinghao's Ten Thousand Soul Arrows. Kong Da immediately reacted and secretly scolded Zou Qinghao for being foolish. He had already seen the terrifying Soul Cultivation of Ling Dong in the Scarlet Soul Realm!
But before Kong Da could finish his remorse, Kong Da and Gong Zhi's faces suddenly became abnormally frightened, and their eyes widened to the extreme.
"Be careful, Qinghao!" Kong Da shouted the moment the accident happened. Almost instinctively, Kong Da stretched out his right arm, and a golden hand of Aura Qi broke out of his body and grabbed at Zou Qinghao.
"Heh, too late!" Ling Dong's sneer sounded at the right time. A red spirit light and a red fire snake quickly attacked Zou Qinghao, who was vomiting blood.
The reason why Zou Qinghao vomited blood was very simple. His Precious Weapon of Heaven and Earth had been destroyed. It was directly burned to ashes by a wisp of flame that Ling Dong had shot out with a flick of his finger.
The flame that Ling Dong had flicked out was the Innate Spirit Fire that Ling Dong had just refined. Its power was at least two or three times that of an acquired Spirit Fire. Moreover, according to Ling Dong's understanding of the Laws of Fire, Innate Spirit Fire was not simply two or three times more powerful than acquired Spirit Fire!
Ling Dong's Precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth, the Black Sword, had only been severely damaged by Kong Da, but it was enough to make Ling Dong vomit blood. Now, Ling Dong had directly turned Zou Qinghao's Precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth into nothingness. It would be strange if Zou Qinghao didn't vomit blood and be seriously injured.
Ling Dong had no intention of holding back at all. After successfully condensing the Seed of Innate Spiritual Fire, he released his Spirit to search for the location of these people from the Dongluo Sect. Now that he had taken the initiative to come here, he wanted to kill these people from the Dongluo Sect and vent his anger. Previously, Ling Dong had been beaten up badly. Of course, Ling Dong also had other motives.
Therefore, after destroying Zou Qinghao's Precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth, Ling Dong once again flicked out a fire serpent. This fire serpent was formed purely from Innate Spirit Fire and possessed boundless power.
It had to be said that Kong Da's reaction was not slow. The moment he discovered that Ling Dong had flicked out the flames, he realized that the power of Ling Dong's flames had suddenly become extremely terrifying. He instinctively went to save Zou Qinghao.
However, just as Ling Dong had said, it was too late, too late. It wasn't that Kong Da's rescue was slower than Ling Dong's attack, but that he was too slow compared to the power of Ling Dong's fire.
Ling Dong's Spiritexterminating Awl had caused Zou Qinghao's Spirit to be temporarily slowed down. However, this short delay was enough for the fire serpent formed purely from Innate Spirit Fire that Ling Dong flicked out to wrap around Zou Qinghao's body.
It was also at this moment that Kong Da's instinctive rescue hand arrived and reached for Zou Qinghao's back. He stretched out his five fingers and grabbed Zou Qinghao's back in an attempt to save Zou Qinghao.
However, Kong Da's Golden Dipper Hand grabbed empty air. Or rather, it was only able to grab a few specks of dust. Zou Qinghao's physical body was instantly incinerated into black ashes.
The fire serpent formed purely from Innate Spirit Fire was too terrifying. The moment it wrapped around Zou Qinghao's body, it instantly turned the peak Ninth Level Star Transformation Zou Qinghao's physical body into ashes.
"Ah …" After his physical body disappeared, Zou Qinghao's Star Soul was stunned for a moment before he realized that his physical body had disappeared. He suddenly let out a mournful and terrifying scream.
Zou Qinghao's somewhat hazy expression on his Star Soul was filled with confusion and pain. Zou Qinghao couldn't understand how his physical body had been incinerated in an instant. How could this be possible?
However, even though his physical body had been destroyed, Zou Qinghao's nightmare was far from over. After his Star Transformation Stage Star Soul lost the support of his physical body, it started to tremble at a specific frequency. If he couldn't find a physical body to possess before his Star Soul disintegrated and his Spirit dissipated, Zou Qinghao would completely disappear from this world.
However, that was under the condition that there was no external interference.
Almost at the same time that Zou Qinghao's Star Soul screamed, Ling Dong's Spirit Extermination Awl landed on Zou Qinghao's defenseless Star Soul. Not only did it consume a portion of his Spirit Strength, but it also caused the faint crack on his Star Soul to widen abruptly. It was like a cracked porcelain.
"This … this … what kind of flame is this? How can it be so terrifying?" Kong Da didn't have time to care about Zou Qinghao's life or death. Zou Qinghao, who had lost his physical body at the Star Transformation Stage, had already lost his value in the sect. Even if his Spirit Extermination Awl succeeded in possessing his physical body, his aptitude and cultivation would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, Kong Da had already realized the terror of the flame that Ling Dong had flicked out. He had already started to consider his own safety.
"What flame? This is a flame that will take your life!" After killing Zou Qinghao with a flick of his finger, Ling Dong didn't stop at all. His fingers flicked continuously, and eight flame snakes flew out in a row, wrapping around Gong Zhi and Ye Da from different directions.
If someone were to observe carefully at this moment, they would discover that Ling Dong flicked the flame snakes that flew towards Gong Zhi with ease. It was almost done with a wave of his hand. However, the flame snakes that flew towards Kong Da were extremely strenuous. There was an obvious gap between each flick of his finger. Moreover, the color of the flames was slightly different.
Of course, only Ling Dong knew the specific difference.
In Ling Dong's opinion, Gong Zhi, who was at the Seventh Level Star Transformation Stage, wasn't worth Ling Dong using his precious Innate Spiritual Fire. Acquired Spiritual Fire was enough. However, the flame snakes that flew towards Kong Da were 100% Innate Spiritual Fire.
Although the power of Innate Spiritual Fire was terrifying, Ling Dong had just condensed the Seed of Innate Spiritual Fire. Ling Dong's red Astral Soul, which contained the Seed of Innate Spiritual Fire, could only release ten Innate Spiritual Fires at its peak. The rest were Acquired Spiritual Fires.
However, as long as Ling Dong continued to practice, the Acquired Spiritual Fire in his red Astral Soul would gradually transform into Innate Spiritual Fire. When all the flames in his red Astral Soul transformed into Innate Spiritual Fire, it was time for Ling Dong to break through the last step of condensing the Scarlet Purple Flame.
Gong Zhi, who didn't know the inside story, was almost scared out of his wits when he saw the flame that had just killed his Eldest Senior Brother rushing towards him. He didn't even have the slightest thought of taking revenge on Ling Dong by cutting him into pieces. He just desperately stimulated the Gang Qi in his body and tried to escape at the same time!
However, how could Ling Dong allow Gong Zhi to escape?
The Spirit Extermination Awl was already there. In his panic, Gong Zhi was hit head-on by the Spirit Extermination Awl. He was surrounded by four Acquired Spiritual Fires. Furthermore, the power of Ling Dong's Acquired Spiritual Fires had increased due to his increased comprehension of the Laws of Fire.
How could Gong Zhi's physical body be spared?
"Save me, Martial Uncle, quickly save me!" Gong Zhi, who only had his Astral Soul left, was terrified and begging Kong Da for help. However, Kong Da was facing the attack of four Innate Spiritual Fires. How could he have the chance to help him?
What made Ling Dong's jaw drop was that when Gong Zhi, who only had his Astral Soul left, saw Ling Dong turn to look at him again, he actually begged, "Spare me, Lord Ling. This little one has eyes but failed to recognize an expert. I have offended you previously. Please spare me this time!"
With regards to Gong Zhi's pleas, Ling Dong didn't pay any attention to them. His eyes flashed with a fierce light and with a flick of his spiritual sense, numerous scarlet lights blasted towards Zou Qinghao's Astral Souls and Gong Zhi's Astral Souls, directly blasting them into the most primitive form of Heaven and Earth Energy.
Ling Dong's target this time was Kong Da, the big fish. Ling Dong didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for himself!
"Ling Dong, you actually dared to kill a disciple of my Dongluo Sect and didn't even spare his Astral Soul. My Dongluo Sect will definitely not let you off in the future!" Kong Da, who had just consumed two Innate Spiritual Fires that Ling Dong had flicked out in a flurry, and was entangled with the other two Innate Spiritual Fires.
"In the future? Do you still have a future?" Ling Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and said confidently.
Now that he had killed Gong Zhi and Zou Qinghao, it was time for Ling Dong to deal with Kong Da. Moreover, Kong Da was very important in Ling Dong's plan.
The moment he finished speaking, Ling Dong's eyes turned cold. His Spirit condensed and fell on the red Astral Soul. As his Spirit was greatly shaken, he activated the last remaining Innate Spiritual Fire Seed in the red Astral Soul. In an instant, it was activated by Ling Dong's Spirit and turned into four fire snakes that attacked Kong Da once again!
At the same time, Ling Dong's Spirit's eyes suddenly opened in anger. The Soul Arousing Secret Art of the Black Sky Divine Prohibition was activated. Within a breath, he blasted out six Spirit Extinguishing Awls to attack Kong Da. He intended to use this as a coordination to make the Innate Spiritual Fire succeed!
"Ah?" At the same time, Kong Da, who saw Ling Dong flicking out one Innate Spiritual Fire after another, was greatly shocked. When he saw Ling Dong flicking out another four Innate Spiritual Fires, he was extremely shocked.
Previously, he had used up all his strength to use up the two Innate Spiritual Fires. Now, he had to use four more. If this thing was endless, then no matter how strong Kong Da was, he would not be able to escape the same fate as Zou Yinghao — burned into ashes!
After judging this outcome, Kong Da, who had been through many battles, made the most correct decision in an instant. "Run!"
"Overlapping Shadows Whip, escape for me!" He directly bit the tip of his tongue and madly activated his Astral Soul. In the most tragic way, Kong Da launched his unique Secret Art of Escape.
This was the unique ability of his whip-shaped Precious Weapon of Heaven and Earth. In the past 100 years, Kong Da had used the Overlapping Shadows Whip's Secret Art of Escape three times to save his life.
In Kong Da's opinion, he was not surprised this time!
Kong Da wielded the Overlapping Shadows Godly Whip at an extremely fast speed. When Ling Dong's innate spirit fire reached him, the Overlapping Shadows Godly Soul had already shrouded Kong Da, and at the same time, the tail of the Overlapping Shadows Godly Whip shone with a terrifying light!
At this time, Kong Da finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he used the Overlapping Shadows Whip's Secret Art of Escape, he would be completely safe!
However, just when Kong Da thought that he was safe and could escape with his life, Ling Dong's face revealed an unfathomable smile. "Want to escape? No way!"
