Chapter 63 - Thunderflame Gale Array (1/2)
Whoosh!
Beneath the shade of the forest, a gray figure flitted by. The moment a spiritual beast saw him, it would jump on him with greedy eyes.
But the beast would ultimately fall to the ground lifeless with an extra fist imprint on its chest.
The seventh elder’s eyes turned darker, but his speed remained the same. Unlike Zhuo Fan, his flight attracted no little amount of trouble.
Yet this only left a trail of 3rd level spiritual beasts corpses behind. He was lucky enough that he did not meet a 4th level spiritual beast, or it would have been a slightly different outcome.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, he landed in an open area. He checked for tracks, making sure nothing escaped his sight.
“He-he-he, three little brats. Want to run?” The seventh elder sneered. He stood upright and scrutinized his surroundings with a cold eye, “Will you come out yourselves, or shall I drag you out?”
His yell bathed the trees in killing intent and scared off nearby spiritual beasts.
“Ha-ha-ha, I see the seventh elder is not without his reputation. No wonder you are called Insidious Demon, finding how many we are just from a few faint signs. I am in awe!”
Zhuo Fan’s laughter resounded through the air. The seventh elder frowned and paid closer attention, “Kid, you have just entered the 6th layer of Qi Condensation.”
“Good ears!”
The hidden Zhuo Fan felt his heart go cold. This elder was shrewder then he’d thought, a hard opponent, but he still kept his cool.
“Seventh elder must be tired after such a long chase. And fighting here will attract 4th level spiritual beasts. It will be quite an annoyance to you. What if we strike a deal?”
“Which is?” The seventh elder snorted and his cold eyes flitted around the area.
Zhuo Fan smiled, “Seventh elder chased us for so long all for the Diamond Sand. If we give you half, are you willing to let us go?”
“You must be joking. The Diamond Sand was mine to begin with. You want to bargain with what you stole from me?” The seventh elder laughed while being shrouded in thick killing intent, “I will not only get my Diamond Sand but wring the life out of you brats!”
Then the elder rushed towards a lush tree. He struck it with his palm and made it explode, to reveal Zhuo Fan sitting on the rock behind it.
“He-he-he, brat, you knew of my sharp hearing yet still talked about conditions with me!”
The seventh elder went for another palm attack, this time targetting Zhuo Fan. But the latter was calm as ever, he even smiled, “He-he-he, I’ve never been afraid of revealing myself from the start!”
Zhuo Fan’s hand shifted and…
Boom!
With a loud noise, from behind Zhuo Fan, a towering flame rose 50 meters high. And with a bird cry, it took the shape of a phoenix.
It spread its wings and launched two fire pillars at seventh elder!
“Array?”
The elder was startled as he didn’t foresee the weak brat would know about arrays. From the look of its power, it had to be in 5th-grade.
No longer careless, he struck the pillars with his palms.
Boom!
Raging flames exploded and the elder was thrown back with burned palms.
Looking up, the elder’s carefree eyes from before, sported a hint of severity now.
“I took you lightly.” The seventh elder squinted, “Never imagining a 6th layer of Qi Condensation youth was a 5th-grade array master. Too bad it won’t be enough to beat me!”
The seventh elder soared and made a sign.
A fiendish demonic shadow rose behind him from the twisting black tendrils of energy. Wails echoed around him and made the temperature drop.
Zhuo Fan’s eyes squinted and his tone lowered, “Such a malevolent demonic method, is this from Hell Valley’s inheritance?”
“He-he-he, why do the dead need to know so much?”
The seventh elder cackled and pointed. The demonic shadow rushed at Zhuo Fan with a shriek. Zhuo Fan responded with a hand sign.
The fire phoenix cried and spat flames.
Bam!
Flames and shadow collided in an anticlimactic way. When the fire touched the demon, hissing was heard as if it was met with ice.
The seventh elder looked proud of this while Zhuo Fan squinted, “Ning’er, now!”
A faint cry echoed and from another side not far from Zhuo Fan, a fierce gale hammered through the woods and exposed Xue Ningxiang sitting on a stone.
