Chapter 1148: Corpse Candle
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Li did not even try to move away from the many burning lotus lanterns. He wanted to test the strength of the Relic armor. If the armor could not stand the regular blaze, how could Lu Li continue his fight with Blazing Huo who could control three other kinds of strange fire?
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The pyro lotuses smashed into Lu Li and then burst into fire blossoms. Lu Li was immersed in a world of fire.
“Li-er!”
In the distance, Lu Renhuang shouted in fear. He was burnt in many places. The burn on his arm was from this pyro lotus. He did not want to see Lu Li being burnt alive.
But the next second, Lu Renhuang’s eyes glowed. Lu Li was standing in the middle of the blaze, unharmed. His face wasn’t even blackened from the smoke. He stood inside the blaze, relaxed, like a god.
“Impressive!”
Blazing Huo nodded to himself. The Relic armor was extraordinary. If Lu Li had been wearing a Quasi Relic armor, when he was seized by the flames, he would be in a miserable state, if not burnt to death.
However, now, it was as if Lu Li were strolling idly in his courtyard, not in the middle of flames. The Relic armor had isolated the fire. Not even the high temperature could reach inside.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li flew head-on toward the thousands of pyro lotuses. The counterattack had commenced. He wielded the Relic armor and used the Slayer’s move.
“Swish~”
The wind blew and clouds moved in an instant. The temperature changed. Xuan Qi swarmed out from all sides to entrap Blazing Huo.
A blood-red ray of sword light dashed out from the black Relic armor, tearing apart the sky, reaching for Blazing Huo.
“What...”
The Slayer’s move shocked Lu Renhuang and Blazing Huo. Even civilians that had never experienced cultivation could tell the might of the move. As the sword whooshed down, the view changed. The natural force was leveraged. The Slayer’s move was more powerful than any Profound Meanings that were used as of the moment.
“Fire Shield!”
Blazing Huo deserved to be the No. 2 among the Purgatory’s Top 10. Though physically, he could not move, at this critical juncture, balls of black flames burst out from his body. The black flames intertwined together and formed something like a cocoon, quite substantial.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The blood-red ray of sword light was smashed into the shield formed by black flames, and the shield began to crack layer after layer.
What surprised Lu Li was that in one instant, over a dozen layers of flames had come together. At the moment, more black flames were swarming out from Blazing Huo to strengthen the shield.
Eventually, all layers of flames were pierced through. Blazing Huo was smashed away. His chest was covered in blood. However, Lu Li checked with psychic power and noticed that Blazing Huo did not sustain any serious injury. Only his skin was cracked. Not even his bones were fractured.
“This is very good!”
Blazing Huo took some healing pellets. He grinned a ghastly grin. Looking at Lu Li, he said, “Lu Li, I admit that you are strong. Now, you have earned the right to witness my strongest means.”
That strange black flames should be one of the three unique kinds of fire Blazing Huo collected. Needless to say, Blazing Huo was about to put the other two sorts of fire into use.
Lu Li frowned but did not resort to immediate actions. Instead, he flew to Lu Renhuang and shouted, “Father, do not reject!”
After he came to Lu Renhuang, the Wicked Bead began to glow. Lu Renhuang didn’t want to go inside, but Lu Li was determined. Upon second thought, Lu Renhuang did not resist.
As Lu Renhuang was put inside, Lu Li was fearless. He believed that no matter how strong Blazing Huo’s fire was, it would never burn him alive when he had the Relic armor on.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li flew over, ready to use another round of the Slayer’s move. He wanted to find out how many more black flames could be generated.
“Shower of Fire!”
Blazing Huo was one step ahead of Lu Li. The former waved his hands. The element of fire in nature around him was gathered by him and converged in the sky. Then, huge balls of fire came into being and began to fall down from the sky, like meteor rocks.
It was getting darker. The rain of fire lit up half of the sky. Even those thousands of miles away could see the glaring light there.
“Swish, swish~”
Countless balls of fire dropped to the ground rapidly, covering an area with a radius of over a mile around Lu Li. Those balls of fire smashed into the ground. A blazing fire broke out. Soon, the area turned into a sea of fire, a hell.
“Hmm!”
Lu Li snorted. That sea of fire only came into being because of the Profound Meaning. The sea of fire only looked intimidating. As a matter of fact, it was not entirely powerful. It would be of more use to deal with a large army but not so much when Lu Li was the target. The sea of fire’s force was even weaker than the pyro lotus.
“Swish~”
Lu Li used the Slayer’s move again. Xuan Qi was moving around. Once again, Blazing Huo was contained. Balls of fire stopped coming into being. The remaining ones in the sky were still raining down. When the last ones dropped, it became dim again.
“Wait—”
A warning sign rose in Lu Li’s mind. He threw a look to the sky, and the Wicked Bead began to glow. He vanished in the air and entered the Wicked Bead instantly.
The balls of fire in the air contained smaller masses of flames which were white and looked like baby’s faces. The small masses of flames were so hot in temperature that they twisted the air around.
Blazing Huo was smart. He released countless balls of fire to hide the Corpse Candle inside the regular fire. If Lu Li had been ignorant, he would have been struck by the Corpse Candle.
Even though he had a Relic armor on, the Deaf Taoist had mentioned that this type of flames was horrifying. If he were severely injured by the fire, Lu Li might lose his life.
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li did not stay still when he was inside the Wicked Bead. The Wicked Bead glared as it dashed toward Blazing Huo.
The Wicked Bead moved fast. However, it was still too late. Two small masses of Corpse Candle hit the Wicked Bead. It appeared that the masses of fire were intelligent. They clung to the Wicked Bead, burning it.
“Such horrifying fire!”
Lu Li sensed the consumption of energy and was stunned. The two small masses of flames were not weaker than the most powerful attacks from the Deaf Taoist.
What was more, Corpse Candle’s attack was never stopping. By this account, the Corpse Candle could be as powerful as 10 Deaf Taoist combined...
It was fortunate that the Wicked Bead had been absorbing energy during the past few years. Before he set off, the Wicked Bead’s energy had almost restored. It was not easy to crack it.
“Bang!”
Blazing Huo was knocked away. Once again, he used the black flames to form a shield to fend off most parts of the blood-red ray of sword light.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li used the Wicked Bead to smash away Blazing Huo forcefully. Blazing Huo was worried that Lu Li would come at him at any time so he had to keep on generating black flames to protect himself.
After two rounds, the Corpse Candle clung to the Wicked Bead since it had run out of energy. Lu Li said coldly, “Blazing Huo, how much more of the Corpse Candle and black flames do you have? There is no end to my Slayer’s move. How about we fight for dozens of days and see who is going to lose his life first?”
