869. At one's wit's end
The crimson fire lotus, a phantom of karmic fire, continued to expand, enveloping this area. The magnificent crimson lotus pointed directly at the abandoned infant Tang.
Fire Child's attack, which showed no mercy, was equally terrifying in power!
Tang Qiying was extremely annoyed at the sight. As he had expected, even if Hunya and Hunyu could not kill Huo Zhi and the other two, they should at least restrain them and kill them one by one after he arrived.
As a result, Huo Zhi appeared right here, alive and well, in a shorter time than when he fought Xiao Yan. Moreover, Huo Zhi was clearly not exhausted in this state, and he definitely couldn't fight against him right now.
He is now truly in a desperate situation.
The fire lotus surrounding Huo Zhi was already at its peak, and then slowly enveloped Tang Qiying's location. Although the speed was not fast, the pressure of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire was enough to suffocate anyone. Tang Qiying watched helplessly as the Crimson Lotus approached; if he were to be struck, he might truly be doomed.
"No... I can't die here! I still have a chance!" The desperate situation of being on the verge of death prompted Tang Qiying to grasp her last hope.
Tang Qiying's bloodshot eyes were fixed on the black flame that had been constantly circling around him, his lifeline. It was this flame that had absorbed the most deadly destructive energy during the cataclysmic explosion of the Five-Colored Fire Lotus, saving his life.
The fire spirit came fiercely, but Tang Qiying never fell into despair, mainly because of the black flame that had been circling around her during her escape.
With this Void Devouring Flame, I have hope of turning the tide!
"If it saved me once, it can definitely save me again!"
Seeing this, Tang Qiying also stretched out his hands, transmitting his thoughts to the Void Devouring Flame that was constantly swirling around him: "Go, devour it!"
however!
His response was only a cold, deathly silence.
As his thoughts reached Hei Yan, something happened that made Tang Qiying tremble all over—Hei Yan remained in place, only slightly fluctuating because of Tang Qiying's command. It still stood calmly by Tang Qiying's side, showing no sign of obeying his orders and rushing forward.
"What's going on?! Why isn't it moving?!" Tang Qiying was also sweating profusely. This black flame was his only hope in this desperate situation. But no matter how hard he tried, his efforts were ultimately futile.
However, Huo Zhi's fire lotus did not give Tang Qiying any time to think. The intense heat had already broken through the black flames' protection, directly scorching Tang Qiying's body, making it even more charred.
However, Tang Qiying's black Void Devouring Flame sub-fire once again provided a defense, but it seemed to last only two or three breaths before being directly shattered by the impact of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
"Ughhhhhh—!"
With a deafening crash, crimson flames flew everywhere, and Tang Qiying's forcibly raised aura was once again severely suppressed. His entire body was blasted away again, and by this time, most of his body had turned into charcoal, barely recognizable as human, with hardly any good pieces of flesh left.
The once handsome face of Huo Xuan is now nothing but hideous scorch marks and deep, bone-revealing cracks, making him look like a grotesque ghost.
Huo Zhi and Xiao Yan landed together, looking at Tang Qiying, whom they had severely injured, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.
On one hand, her plan with Xiao Yan was successfully executed, and the seriously injured Tang Qiying was now in her hands. She was now truly able to avenge her brother.
However, on the other hand, her gentle and handsome older brother, who had been with her for many years, was now reduced to this body. Even so, he had been ruined by Tang Qiying and was now in this state. Huo Zhi felt very distressed.
"That bastard is unforgivable!" The more Huo Zhi thought about Huo Xuan, the more her anger rose. Red light gathered in her palm, and the crimson lotus karmic fire in her hand condensed into a blood-red blade.
Tang Qiying was already severely injured in her duel with Xiao Yan, and was further injured by her own attack just now. Now is the best opportunity to kill this person.
"Xiao Yan, is there anything else you want to do?" Huo Zhi finally asked Xiao Yan for his opinion.
After all, the main reason he was able to kill Tang Qiying was because Xiao Yan had driven him to this desperate situation.
Xiao Yan shook his head without hesitation: "This guy is incredibly tough, and he's cunning. We absolutely cannot give him any chance to breathe!"
Back in the Sound Valley, Xiao Yan thought Tang Qiying would never survive, so he didn't investigate further afterward, which led to the guy being resurrected.
"Alright!" Huo Zhi appeared directly at the area where Tang Qiying had fallen, along with Xiao Yan. Crimson flames rose around her, making her appear like a goddess of vengeance.
Huo Zhi looked down at the body, whose twitching had become barely perceptible. Her gaze swept over the grotesque, charred face; Tang Qiying had clearly been severely injured again in the previous attack and was no longer capable of any further movement. But the more she looked at Huo Xuan's body, the more uncontrollable her rage became.
Huo Zhi raised her arm high, and without hesitation, she wielded the flaming blade in her hand, ready to chop down on Tang Qiying's head. But the next moment, Huo Zhi's arm abruptly stopped in mid-air!
The blade, burning with crimson flames, stopped just before Tang Qiying's neck.
The reason she stopped was because Huo Zhi clearly saw that the fierce and emotionless look in Tang Qiying's eyes had disappeared, and when she opened them again, they were replaced by a look that was familiar to her.
Fire!
My brother Huo Xuan has returned again?
"Brother Xuan?! Is that you?" Huo Zhi exclaimed in disbelief.
The hovering fiery blade couldn't bring itself to strike because the aura belonging to Tang Qiying within the body before her had vanished. It had reverted to the familiar aura of her cousin, Huo Xuan.
Having spent so much time together, Huo Zhi was extremely familiar with Huo Xuan's aura.
"How could this be?" Huo Zhi's original determination to kill Huo Xuan wavered.
Huo Zhi immediately had other thoughts in her mind. At this moment, Huo Xuan reappeared. Could it be that Tang Qiying gave up resistance at the last moment, or that Tang Qiying had been seriously injured and lost consciousness in the previous battle? Did she still have a chance to save her brother?
Xiao Yan is right beside him, and he can even refine ninth-grade pills. Could Xiao Yan save his brother?
Is it still not too late for everything?
