Chapter 86: Flame Mountain (3rd Update)

————I have fulfilled my promise and made up for it. The update tomorrow morning should be at noon.

When Shi Xuan woke up from his coma, he felt sore all over. He didn't know how many times he was tossed around by the sea water and hit the rocks. Fortunately, he used the Golden Dragon Armor Spell in time and finally survived.

He just took a breath, dry, hot, and mixed with the smell, which almost destroyed Shi Xuan's sense of smell.

Looking around carefully, Shi Xuan found that he was washed to an unknown place by the sea water. This is a long corridor, but whether it is the mountain walls on both sides of the corridor, or the cave ceiling above, or even the stone road where he is lying, they are all burning. Fortunately, the clothes of the outer disciples of Penglai Sect have the initial function of avoiding fire and water, and this is just an ordinary flame, so Shi Xuan did not become a charred corpse in his coma.

The other end of the tunnel was blocked by collapsed rocks. Shi Xuan tried to chop it with the Wanxiang Wuying Sword, but only a small white mark was left. It seems that the rocks here have been calcined for many years and have long become an extremely hard unknown material.

Shi Xuan carefully picked up a few pieces of such rocks, used magic to turn them into a thick layer of soil, and then put them in his spare storage bag. After going out, he asked someone to see what material this was.

Since there was only one way, Shi Xuan could only move forward.

After recovering his energy, he cast some protective spells on himself and used the Golden Dragon Armor Spell. Then Shi Xuan took out the Soul-Bewitching Banner, and black light fell down, and then he slowly walked to the other side of the tunnel.

After leaving this tunnel, there is another tunnel. These tunnels do not seem to be naturally formed. They should be relics somewhere, right? But this corridor is very wide and high, more than ten times the normal width. Whose ruins could it be?

In this maze-like corridor, Shi Xuan walked and stopped, but could not find the way out. He wanted to judge based on the idea that which side was hotter was the core and the other side was the way out, but Shi Xuan found that the front, back, left and right were equally hot.

Suddenly, when Shi Xuan entered a corridor not far away, several birds made of flames flew out of the flames on both sides of the corridor and pounced on Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan waved the Soul-Bewitching Banner, and the black light brushed towards the birds, but as soon as it brushed against these birds, the black light began to sizzle, like heavy snow encountering the scorching sun, and then faded away.

After finally killing these flame birds, they just turned into flames and slowly extinguished, leaving nothing behind.

It seems that the power of the Soul-Bewitching Banner, a magical weapon, is greatly reduced in this extremely hot and yang environment. It was extremely difficult to deal with a few birds just now. Shi Xuan had no choice but to take out the Wanxiang Wuying Sword. It would be better to use it later. As for water and ice spells, Shi Xuan did not want to use them for the time being. Under the premise of maintaining energy to the maximum extent, the use of magic tools would consume much less.

After a while, those flame birds came back again, one after another, and rushed towards Shi Xuan without fear of life and death. Shi Xuan pointed his hand, and the Wanxiang Wuying Sword turned into a clear light and flew towards these birds. When it was about to fly, Shi Xuan pinched the sword formula, and the sword light of the Wanxiang Wuying Sword turned into a huge column of clear light, blowing towards the birds like a gust of wind. It was the Kuangfeng Sword among the six swords of Zhanfeng.

The gust of wind blew, leaving only a blank space on the ground. Those flame birds had been destroyed by the sword light in the gust of wind. Shi Xuan nodded secretly. The gust of wind, hurricane, and whirlwind in the six swords of Zhanfeng were the nemesis of these flame birds. Of course, if they were stronger, it would not be the wind blowing out the fire, but the wind helping the fire.

Shi Xuan had just put his mind at ease when he saw hundreds of fire birds flying out of the tunnel. His face froze, and he commanded the Wanxiang Wuying Sword to turn into a whirlwind, then retreated while fighting, retreating to the depths of the tunnel behind.

When these hundreds of fire birds were killed and there were no more fire birds chasing him, Shi Xuan saw two fire giants walking out of the two sides of the tunnel, rushing towards him with ferocious faces.

This fire giant not only looked tall, but also used magic halfway through the rush, and fireballs flew fiercely towards Shi Xuan. Fortunately, Shi Xuan was focused and used Xiaoyou Qingfeng Dun to escape forward for a distance, and then he avoided the violent explosion of these fireballs.

The sword light fanned, turning into hurricanes, attacking the two fire giants, but the fire giants were not afraid at all, and let the sword light split their bodies in half, but the flames on their bodies became more blazing under the wind, and then they turned into four fire giants chasing Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan escaped a short distance again, avoiding the attack of the fireball, and then the sword light condensed, silently, passing through the smoke of the explosion, and flew in front of the four fire giants, and then a clear light flashed from left to right, and those fire giants were broken into two pieces, and the flames at the broken parts were quickly extinguished as if they had encountered natural enemies. Finally, the four fire giants turned into four groups of cold stones, and there was no movement. This was the Cold Wind Sword.

Before Shi Xuan had time to be happy, several more fire giants and hundreds of fire birds rushed out from the opposite side. Although they were very low in intelligence and did not know how to dodge, they were also very terrifying when their numbers increased.

Shi Xuan did not dare to fight for a long time, and used the Xiaoyou Qingfeng escape, turning into a wisp of breeze, and driving the sword light to escape.

Along the way, fire giants and fire birds appeared in endlessly, and Shi Xuan could only escape to where there were fewer monsters. Unknowingly, Shi Xuan escaped into a huge and simple hall.

Those fire giants and fire birds seemed to be afraid of certain things in this hall. They were blocking the corridor and dared not come in. This allowed Shi Xuan to finally catch his breath for a while. A cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage could not fight for long.

Shi Xuan carefully observed the dilapidated hall. It was several miles in circumference. It was simple and solemn, but there was nothing inside, leaving only a few empty giant pillars standing there.

After walking around the main hall, there were four exits and one downward corridor. Shi Xuan felt extremely hot just by standing in front of the corridor. The fire-preventing magic fixed on the Taoist robe could not even weaken it at all. You can imagine how hot it was down there.

When there was still a choice, Shi Xuan naturally did not dare to explore the downward tunnel, but Shi Xuan tried the other three exits, but was forced back by countless flame giants and flame birds.

After crossing his legs to regain his energy, Shi Xuan checked the main hall again, hoping to find secret doors, secret passages, etc., but unfortunately there was no harvest. However, the murals painted on the walls of the main hall gave Shi Xuan some guesses about this place.

Those murals are full of huge birds, with chicken heads, swallow jaws, snake necks and fish tails, wearing red wings, flying into the sky from the flames. It can be seen from the appearance that these are the sacred birds of the Suzaku, exactly the same as the descriptions in Taoist books.

Considering that the Flame Sea and the Flame Islands were once the residence of the Suzaku Clan, this should be the Flame God Mountain where the Suzaku Clan lived. It was buried deep under the sea for countless thousands of years.

However, guessing that this place did not help Shi Xuan get out of trouble. He only brought a few days of dry food with him, and there were flaming giants and others blocking the road outside. Do you want to die here until the sect comes to rescue? If this flaming sacred mountain is located in In the secret place of the time and space storm, even if you wait for death, you may not be able to wait for the sect to find you.

It was Shi Xuan's habit not to place his hopes on others, so he could only take the risk to explore the downward tunnel.

After casting a lot of magic protection on himself, and then using the black light of the Ecstasy Flag to protect himself, Shi Xuan walked down the corridor with the Omniverse Shadowless Sword in hand.

The corridor was very quiet. Shi Xuan could hear his own footsteps every time he took a step. It became hotter and hotter as he went down, and the black light even began to melt.

After walking around for several times, Shi Xuan finally saw a gate in front of him, but it was even hotter here. The black light had shrunk to the point where it was almost invisible, and the corners of Shi Xuan's Taoist robe were also rolled up by the heat.

Seeing that the Ecstasy Banner was useless in this environment, Shi Xuan had no choice but to put it away and move forward simply relying on the protection of the Golden Dragon Armor Curse and other spells.

After exiting the gate, I saw a large lake of flames in front of me, with nearly purple-blue magma and flames rolling in it. This was no ordinary flame. According to the color of these flames, it is consistent with the fact that this is the Suzaku ruins. Judging, this should be the famous Nanming Lihuo.

Nanming Lihuo was domineering but restrained. Therefore, starting from the gate and on the way to the Lake of Fire, the air did not become hotter. Otherwise, Shi Xuan could only retreat. Especially like this, the layers of protective spells on his body gradually melted away. , only the Golden Dragon Armor Curse is struggling to support it.

When he reached the lake of flames, Shi Xuan's heart sank. There was already a monk in white sitting cross-legged by the lake, carefully absorbing the Nanming Lihuo and combining it with his own fiery red true energy.

Sensing someone approaching, the white-clothed monk immediately stopped absorbing Nan Ming Lihuo's spell, stood up and turned around in one breath, surrounded by flame-like Qi. But when he saw clearly that the person opposite was Shi Xuan, he immediately burst out laughing: "Haha, Junior Brother Shi, we are really destined." This monk in white was none other than Meng Yuchang.

Facing a monk in the out-of-body stage, Meng Yuchang didn't care at all and continued to smile arrogantly: "Junior Brother Tuo Shi, it's really your great blessing. Otherwise, how could you go to this Suzaku ruins and let me discover this Nanming... Li Huo, the power of my Flame Dragon Divine Fire Qi will be greatly increased from now on, and it will be ranked first among the Qi in the entire Qi Entrainment Period."

Shi Xuan didn't answer, and a ray of clear light suddenly came to Meng Yuchang's side and stabbed his vital part. Meng Yuchang didn't expect that Shi Xuan's sword light was so powerful, and he suffered from Shi Xuan's sword all his life. But Meng Yuchang's zhenqi coiled like a fire dragon easily blocked Shi Xuan's sword.

"Hmph, how can you, a monk in the out-of-body stage, know the secret of true energy? Even if I stand here and you attack me, you can't break my true energy." Meng Yuchang looked at Shi Xuan with disdain. At the same time, with a move of his hand, a stream of true energy turned into a fire dragon and rushed towards Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan used Qingfeng Escape, but the fire dragon followed him like a shadow, and his speed was extremely fast. Before he could avoid it, Shi Xuan was hit in the back by the fire dragon. The Golden Dragon Armor Curse blocked most of the power, but Shi Xuan was still injured. It was so severe that his back was completely burned, and the meridians inside were also damaged. He lay there unable to move.

Meng Yuchang became more and more happy, laughed, and then walked towards Shi Xuan: "Junior Brother Shi, I will throw you alive into the Nanmingli Fire Lake and let me see how many breaths you can survive."
