Chapter 508: Killing the Fire Demon

The scar-faced man laughed coldly and slapped him, twisting the team leader’s head to face the back.

“Fool! Everyone who has seen me must die. There is no point in you saying anything!”

“Quick! Run!”

The remaining people panicked and fled in all directions.

The scar-faced man laughed. “You think you can run?”

The scar-faced man quickly formed hand seals. When the final hand seal was completed, he smashed his palm against the scarlet sea.

Ten wooden coffins rose up from the scarlet sea and formed a circle. The lids opened. Ten Demonic Corpses came out and chased the remaining people.

The scar-faced man ignored the cultivators crying out miserably as he looked into the distance. He had a frustrated expression as he said, “I let that brat escape again. I really don’t know when I can catch him.”

In the following days, Xiao Chen literally searched through the entire periphery. Furthermore, he did not do it just once.

Eventually, Xiao Chen’s efforts came to fruition. He found a Fire Demon. It was completely fiery red and had a flame burning on its head.

By the time Xiao Chen rushed over, the low-ranked Fire Demon was dealing with the aftermath of a battle. Several human corpses floated on the surface of the scarlet sea.

The Fire Demon had dug out the hearts of the corpses; it looked very cruel. Currently, it was kneeling on the water and dissecting a female corpse.

Xiao Chen’s gaze turned cold. No matter how malicious the human heart was, humans would never do such cruel things. However, the demons treated the humans as food, doing such atrocities without any misgivings.

The Fire Demon wiped off the blood on its lips as it got up to look at Xiao Chen. It laughed in the odd signature fas.h.i.+on of the Demons and said, “It has been a long time since a human has come over to me on his own initiative to seek trouble. Don’t you know that the Fire Demon race is the Demon race with the strongest offensive power?”

This was clear from the corpses floating on the sea. This Fire Demon had easily slaughtered an entire team of people on its own. Even if the Demon had not mentioned it, Xiao Chen could have guessed.

The Fire Demon stared at Xiao Chen. As the Fire Demon stared, it felt like there was something stirring up the air.

Something felt wrong, so Xiao Chen started to burn the fierce purple flame in his right eye. The flames released by the Fire Demon should be Yin-attributed flames, so the Purple Thunder True Fire should have a mutually suppressive effect on them.

“Ga! Ga! The staring contest is over. Human, it is time to die!”

The Fire Demon laughed in its odd manner and all the fire-attributed Spiritual Energy nearby suddenly gathered together. Countless sparks converged around Xiao Chen.

“Boom!”

Instantly, Xiao Chen’s body burned with a fierce flame. The fire started from the scarlet sea under him and engulfed him completely.

Fire-attributed Spiritual Energy could be found everywhere. As long as there was air, there would be fire-attributed Spiritual Energy. This attack could not be avoided within the visual range of the Fire Demon.

Xiao Chen had been staring at the Fire Demon. He had already sensed the strange movement of the fire-attributed Spiritual Energy.

However, Xiao Chen had not expected the Fire Demon’s attack to be so strange. There was no way to dodge. No matter how one moved in the air, it was unavoidable.

This was because the Fire Demon already controlled all the fire-attributed Spiritual Energy in the air. No matter where one went, one would still be in the air.

Unless one could hide in the void and not have air around at all, one could not avoid the attack.

An Essence s.h.i.+eld separated Xiao Chen from the flames, but the flames burned the s.h.i.+eld incessantly.

Xiao Chen continuously expended Essence; he had to ensure a constant supply of Essence. Otherwise, when the flames made it to his body, he would be burned to ash, even if he had an iron body.

“Boom!”

The situation was dire. Under the Fire Demon’s control, the surrounding fire-attributed Spiritual Energy kept gathering around Xiao Chen.

In seven or eight minutes, Xiao Chen already exhausted one third of his Essence. However, the Fire Demon had an unlimited supply of fire-attributed Spiritual Energy.

As for Xiao Chen, no matter how much Essence he had, he would eventually run out.

That Fire Demon was very patient. It revealed a cruel smile on its face as the flame on its head danced around. If one looked carefully, one would notice that the flame on its head was slowly shrinking.

The Fire Demon used its eyes to control the fire-attributed Spiritual Energy, gathering it in a leisurely manner around Xiao Chen. The Fire Demon had already decided to exhaust Xiao Chen to death.

The flames shone through the Essence s.h.i.+eld, lighting up Xiao Chen’s delicate face. His eyes looked very deep and unfathomable.

The surrounding scarlet sea churned. Under the high temperature, scarlet steam rose continuously from it, wafting to the sky.

Xiao Chen did not panic. If he really wanted to leave, he still had a Divine Weapon in his Universe Ring that he could use to turn the tables.

However, things had not escalated to that point yet. Xiao Chen poked the Essence s.h.i.+eld with his finger and opened a small hole. A clump of flames immediately came in.

Then, Xiao Chen mended the hole and controlled the flame to rest on his palm. He brought it to his eyes to observe it carefully.

As the flame danced on Xiao Chen’s palm, he could feel a chilly sensation spreading from it. He pondered this:

The fire-attributed energy of the natural world is not separated into Yin or Yang. It is the purest primordial flame. It only changed attributes as a result of the user.

The flames of the Fire Demon are Yin-attributed flames. It changed the attribute of the flames as it controlled them, turning them into Yin-attributed flames.

Furthermore, there is so much of the flames. This plenitude resulted in the level of this Yin-attributed flame being very low. It is even weaker than the Holy Fire Manor’s Extremely Yin Flame.

Compared to the Lunar True Flame in my sea of consciousness, it is not even worth mentioning. Xiao Chen casually extinguished the flame with a thought. He already had an idea of how to deal with this.
