The corner of Gu Xuan's mouth curled into a faint smile.
On top of the golden radiance, a green radiance appeared on his body.
The green radiance soared into the sky!
Tree roots broke out of the ground around Gu Xuan and swept toward him.
The moment the countless roots came into contact with Gu Xuan, they began to absorb the water in a frenzy.
Not far away, a few old trees were like withered trees in spring, their branches and leaves flourishing at a speed visible to the naked eye. They became taller and straighter.
The water chains on Gu Xuan's body disappeared without a trace under the absorption of the roots.
"How is this possible?"
An old man exclaimed in surprise.
The Holy Elder's eyes were filled with shock.
"Wood Elemental Power. Water Elemental Power, Wood Elemental Power. You transferred the Water Elemental Power to the tree roots!
I didn't expect you to have mastered two Elemental Powers.
Metal Elemental Power and Wood Elemental Power. How did you do it? "
Even though he had seen Gu Xuan's extraordinary abilities, the Holy Elder had to admit that he had underestimated Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan looked at the old tree roots that were still dancing around him and said calmly, "You seem to have forgotten something.
"You seem to have forgotten one thing. Everyone in the Burning Sky Continent cultivates fire.
Therefore, the first thing I mastered should be the Fire Elemental Power! "
Gu Xuan snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air and floated toward the Holy Elder.
When the old tree roots sensed the ball of flame, they began to tremble.
Not far away, the few old trees that had just grown began to tremble as well.
They had no consciousness, but they could instinctively feel that the flame could easily destroy them.
The roots retreated into the ground and disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
The Holy Elder looked at the ball of flame flying toward him, and a sense of extreme danger rose in his heart.
Whoosh.
With a wave of his hand, a water screen appeared in front of him.
The Five Elements reinforced and restrained each other. Water Elemental Power countered Wood, but it countered Earth!
The Water Elemental Power was the natural nemesis of the Fire Elemental Power!
However, the moment the water screen was summoned, the sense of danger in the Holy Elder's heart did not lessen. Instead, it intensified.
This meant that there was only one possibility.
The flame was not restrained by the Water Elemental Power.
Gu Xuan extended his right hand and pointed his finger. A shocking chill immediately burst out from the flames.
This chilliness seemed to want to freeze this part of the world.
The water curtain froze into ice.
With a cracking sound, the ice shattered and fell to the ground.
Shock appeared in the eyes of the stooped core executives.
The Holy Elder felt that the flame in front of him was an unprecedentedly dangerous thing.
Her figure flashed and appeared several dozen feet away.
"The Sovereign Flame is the bane of all fire, the bane of all water, and the bane of all metal!"
The Holy Elder stared at Gu Xuan solemnly.
No matter how she guessed, she would never have guessed that the person before her possessed the Flame of the Nine Heavens Supreme!
If he possessed the Supreme Flame, then the Water Elemental Power that he had mastered would become a joke.
Unless one possessed the legendary Water of Utmost Water, there was no water that could compete against the Supreme Flame.
"You can actually tell that I'm using the Sovereign Flame. As expected of the Holy Elder.
So, you should now believe that I'm very sincere in making a deal with you.
After all, my supreme flame can completely suppress your water elemental power.
Before me, you have no chance of winning at all! "
Gu Xuan smiled faintly. His bearing was calm and composed, as if victory was already within his grasp.
The Holy Elder sneered coldly.
"I don't know whether you are sincere or not, but what I know is clearly more than you think.
For example, I know that your Sovereign Flame is currently unable to unleash its full might.
Your Spirit of the Flame has long fallen into a deep slumber in the Saint realm, right? "
Gu Xuan was taken aback. He didn't expect the Holy Elder to be able to guess this.
However, when he recalled that this was her home ground, Gu Xuan felt relieved.
There was probably no one who was more familiar with the mystical aspects of Saint 1-dan than the Holy Elder.
The Spirit of the Flame was in a deep slumber, and the various spiritual treasures couldn't be used. There was no reason for the Holy Elder to be unaware of this.
For a moment, Gu Xuan felt awkward for his carelessness. However, with his thick skin, this bit of awkwardness disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Holy Elder stared at Gu Xuan, as if she was contemplating something.
Seeing the Holy Elder's gaze, Gu Xuan was delighted.
There's a chance!
The Holy Elder was indeed in a dilemma.
Logically speaking, since Gu Xuan had killed so many people of the Saint Island, it wouldn't be too much for her to skin him alive.
However, the Holy Elder knew that with her current strength, it would be impossible for her to kill Gu Xuan, who possessed the Sovereign Flame, without paying a heavy price.
And the Holy Elder wasn't willing to pay such a price.
Rather than being unwilling, it was more accurate to say that she couldn't.
Or rather, she didn't dare to.
Once she was severely injured and her strength fell, it would be pointless to kill Gu Xuan because an even stronger enemy would appear.
That enemy would be even stronger and more evil than Gu Xuan.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in the Holy Elder's mind.
As soon as this thought appeared, it began to grow uncontrollably, and eventually, it wouldn't be able to be dispelled.
Gu Xuan stroked his chin as he pondered over the various possibilities in his mind.
It was at this moment that the Holy Elder seemed to have come to a decision.
"Since you are the one chosen by the Sovereign Flame, even if you aren't a good person, you definitely aren't an evil person either."
The Holy Elder said calmly.
Gu Xuan's lips quivered. Why did those words sound so wrong?
Was she praising him?
The Holy Elder continued, "So, perhaps we can really work together once."
The hunchbacked old men glanced at one another in confusion. What was the Holy Elder trying to do?
Work together? As the Holy Elder, how could she work together with an enemy like Gu Xuan?
Besides, the two of them were just fighting to the death a moment ago.
Yet, she was already prepared to work together?
Wasn't this situation changing too quickly? They couldn't even keep up with it.
Gu Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
"I have to say that the Holy Elder is both wise and beautiful.
Your decision is very wise. "
The Holy Elder sneered coldly.
"If you want to become the first on the Mortal Ranking and obtain the Heart of Heavens fragment, that's not a problem.
If you want to reach the Second Heaven of the Saint realm, that's also not a problem.
In fact, I can even tell you the shortcut to the Third Heaven of the Saint realm.
However, before that, you'd better listen to my conditions.
My conditions aren't easy. If you can't do it, don't agree so easily.
Because once you agree, you might very well die! "
Gu Xuan laughed heartily.
"The Holy Elder doesn't understand me at all.
