Chapter 343: The Divine Laws of Fire
Thirdly, he voluntarily appeared rather than launch sneak attack. Obviously, he was quite confident in dealing with them. On the other side, Taoist Xun Yuan and Taoist Yan Yang were seriously injured. It was obvious that they could not display their full strength. Moreover, they knew nothing of Minghe. However, Minghe had observed them for a period of time. He had a certain understanding of them. Thus, it was more disadvantageous to them.
Based on the three points, it made Taoist Jun Tian not want to have a long battle with Minghe. The Ominous Beasts of the Chaos led away might come back at any time. Once being ensued in a battle, they would find it hard to ensure safe get away. Hence, the best choice was to avoid fighting.
It was evident that his plan was going to fall through. Although the Origin of chaos was good, the place with something that made Rare Beast of Chaos impatient, was more attractive. Minghe would not miss it naturally. Looking at Taoist Juntian and other four taoists, Minghe stopped smiling. His killing intent was gradually exposed, aiming at the five people’s bare killing intent.
It was dangerous to battle with Rare Beast of Chaos, nevertheless, considering the tempting interests, Minghe was willing to take a risk. Looking at the vigilance of those five taoists, Minghe said coldly, "There are two choices for you. Runaway or die!" As he uttered the word ’die’, the surrounding Air of Chaos was rampant, as if it were frozen.
Upon hearing this, five of them turned pale. Such strong killing intent was rare in the world. To make matter worst, the killing intent had already been condensed, impacting the Chaos. Such a person would not be lenient. Since he wanted to snatch, he might not give up, even in the crisis of Ominous Beasts’ siege.
The five taoists were unwilling to give up the rewards which was in front of them. Having cultivated to a degree, they naturally had their own pride. If they withdrew without fighting, they would lose face, and their minds of Taoism would be overshadowed, which would be bad for their cultivation in the future.
Five of them glanced at each other, and a decision. They did not believe that they could not defeat Minghe if they teamed up. Taoist Jun Tian brandished his long sword and launched an attack. "Sharp Geng Metal, Matchless Sword Intent. Kill!" Taoist Jun Tian cultivated based on the Divine Law of Metal in the art of the five elements, so his swordsmanship was theatrical.
As Taoist Jun Tian started making a move, all Air of Geng Metal inside the Formation gathered together. They changed into countless Geng Metal Sword Aura and flew to Minghe. Minghe was impressed by this. Zhunti could also make such a move, but he was inferior to Taoist Jun Tian. Taoist Jun Tian specialized in the Divine Law of Metal and actualized Fruit of Origin with it. Therefore, the Sword Aura of Geng Metal condensed by Taoist Jun Tian was more powerful than Zhunti.
However, Minghe snorted lightly and punched fiercely. His fist was unusually powerful that all Air of Geng Metal dispersed. No matter how strong the Sword Aura was, he could dissolve it with a punch. After becoming Rakshasa, Minghe’s laws of martial arts had been simplified and regained natural state. He met all attacks with constant force.
Confronted with Minghe’s punch, Taoist Jun Tian looked solemn and waved his long sword to chop again. "Boom!" Taoist Jun Tian went backward a few steps, but Minghe’s attack was held back. Although he warded off Minghe’s attack, Taoist Jun Tian was not happy at all. "His punch was bewildering. This person must have terrifying strength."
When Taoist Jun Tian lost just by one move, Perfected Person Yan Yang had already been unable to contain himself any longer. He immediately made a move. Endless purple flames turned into Fire Dragons, covering the sky and rushed to Minghe. This time, Minghe was not interested in fighting back at all. Instead, he let himself be surrounded by the heavenly fire. Only a pale shadow of Minghe could be seen in the raging flames.
Taoist Yan Yang saw this and could not help but laugh. "Hahaha ...I’ll show you how amazing the Nine Concentration Flame is." He specialized in fire, and the Nine Concentration Flame was his best work. It was formed by the combination of Samadhi True Fire and Nanming Fire. Because it combined two characteristics of two different fire, the flame was more powerful.
Without waiting for Taoist Yan Yang to celebrate for a while, and Minghe’s voice sounded in the flame. "Nine Concentration Flame? Oh, I see. You’re awesome to combine Samadhi True Fire and Nanming Fire. But, you aren’t good enough." With this, the Nine Concentration Flame disappeared quickly. Finally, it changed into a fist-sized fireball in Minghe’s hand.
Minghe smiled at the sight of the fist-sized Nine Concentration Flame in his hand. He looked at Taoist Yan Yang and said, "I must admit that you’re really good at fire. My second disciple probably can’t surpass you before he actualizes. But your fire is still inferior to the heavenly fire of the Chaos. If it’s the heavenly fire, I might have been injured."
Upon hearing Minghe’s words, Taoist Yan Yang looked unwell. "What are you talking about? The second disciple can’t surpass me before he actualizes? Only the heavenly fire can injure you?" Taoist Yan Yang cursed in his heart. "The heavenly fire of the Chaos, it can’t be mastered by the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin."
Without noticing Taoist Yan Yang’s expression, Minghe looked at the Nine Concentration Flame in his hand, saying faintly, "Actually, there’s a room for improvement of your Nine Concentration Flame." Minghe was so casual that he still had a mind to predict Nine Concentration Flame when confronted with a formidable enemy. As a matter of fact, Minghe had not taken the five taoists to heart.
Although they were cultivators at Middle Stage of Origin, two of them were seriously injured. Among Minghe, Three Separations, and Puppet of Origin, there were two at Late Stage of Origin, three at Middle Stage of Origin, and one at Early Stage of Origin. They were strong enough to defeat the five people. Therefore, Minghe felt at ease in face of them. The more relaxed Minghe was, the more stressful the opponents were.
Their eyes were clouded with dread when they saw one more flame appeared in his hand. It was the Red Lotus Fire. The fire began to integrate with Nine Concentration Flame. The five people were surprising, especially Taoist Yan Yang. He was crazy about the divine laws of fire. The birth of Nine Concentration Flame had always been his pride. Now he saw his flame was not only controlled by another person but also integrated with a new flame. Undoubtedly, it was a great blow to him.
Seeing Red Lotus Fire blending with Nine Concentration Flame constantly, Taoist Jun Tian looked unwell and shouted loudly, "Let’s launch attacks together. We can’t let him succeed in blending." The flame had not yet taken shape, but the vital force it showed had made Taoist Jun Tian felt danger. The perfect blend would pose a huge threat to them.
When he saw the five taoists launching attacks together, Minghe heaved a sigh. "Hey! Why not wait for a while? It’s almost successful. Forget it. The perfect blend hasn’t yet finished, but it still can be used. What should I call you? Flame of Alienation. Hum, it’s a good name. I’ll use you guys to test the power of Flame of Alienation."
As Minghe waved his hands, the newly formed and unsteady Flame of Alienation suddenly changed into a claret-colored Fire Kylin. It jumped on Taoist Jun Tian. With an ear-splitting bellow, the Fire Kylin attacked Taoist Jun Tian and other four experts at Middle Stage of Origin, with the supreme might of Divine Beast, as if a real Fire Kylin came to earth.
Seeing the Fire Kylin rushing toward them, the five people were startled. The Laws of Martial Arts they displayed could not hurt the Fire Kylin formed by Flame of Alienation. Instead, they were burned. The Flame of Alienation was really unimaginably awesome. In such short time, Minghe could create a lethal weapon. The five people were suddenly enlightened that they underestimated Minghe’s strength.
Minghe grinned when he saw the prevailing Fire Kylin. The Nine Concentration Flame was formed by Samadhi True Fire and Nanming Fire through Two Forms of Ying and Yang. As for Minghe’s Flame of Alienation, Two Forms of Ying and Yang was replaced by Three Elements of Nature and Human Beings. Samadhi True Fire, Nanming Fire, and Red Lotus Fire were corresponding to Heaven, Earth, and Human Beings, thereby Flame of Alienation was created.
The power of the Flame of Alienation did not disappoint Minghe. However, he wondered if the Flame of Alienation would continue to develop, by adding a flame of the same grade with Red Lotus Fire, based on the process of Two forms, Three Elements, Four Signs, Five Elements, Six Directions, Seven Planets, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and Ten Directions. If it continued to develop in this manner, it would be terrifying.
Certainly, it was Minghe’s sudden impulse. He did not specialized in the Divine Laws of Fire. He would prefer to practice by himself rather than make a study of fire. When he saw the Fire Kylin suppress the five people for a while, his face did not light up. Although Flame of Alienation was powerful, the five taoists were masters of the Origin level. If they could not deal with the unstable Flame of Alienation, they would be better off dead.
Minghe did not value or seek fame. With power, we must pursue the tottering foe, and not ape Xiang Yu the conqueror seeking idle fame. Since having gained the upper hand, it was advisable to follow up a victory with hot pursuit. Minghe took out Taoist Seal and shouted, "Three Elements come into being after Flame of Alienation goes out." As Minghe threw his palms, the Fire Kylin began to boom and then changed into three Fire Kylins, corresponding to Heaven, Earth, and Human Beings. They attacked the five taoists.
The Formation of Three Elements were three Fire Kylins, which were respectively made up of Samadhi True Fire, Nanming Fire, and Red Lotus Fire. Although Fire Kylin’s fire died down, the five taoists were not happy. Seeing the formation was completed successfully, Minghe smiled and said, "Formation of Three Elements initiates and Flame of Alienation appears." The three Fire Kylins separately breathed out endless Samadhi True Fire, Nanming Fire, and Red Lotus Fire. In the Formation of Three Elements, fire started everywhere. In the end, all the fire integrated into Flame of Alienation. If things went on like this, the five people would probably be burned to death.
