Chapter 266: Demon Fire Shows Its Power

"Retreat, everyone retreat back to the grand array!" Lu Lu Tianmeng, seeing the cyan flames on those giant flags becoming thicker and thicker, shouted in anxiety, and took the lead in pulling his body back, fleeing toward the grand array behind.

The cultivators beside him heard this and immediately followed this leader to retreat without hesitation.

Xuan Le saw this scene and gave the order to retreat without the slightest hesitation.

But the cultivators on Han Li's side, except for a small portion who had the upper hand and could withdraw at any time, the others were unexpectedly entangled by their opponents and simply couldn't escape. Han Li's opponent also launched an offensive desperately, trying to contain Han Li.

But Han Li sneered, withdrew his other magic tools, and summoned the White Scale Shield, hard-blocking the other party's offensive and returning to the array nimbly. This left the Heaven Evil Sect cultivator with no choice but to stop his footsteps outside the array with a sullen expression.

Xuan Le saw that more than half of his team were still trapped outside the array and were fighting even more fiercely, knowing that it was not good. He wanted to go out with other cultivators to assist, but his body had just moved when he was pulled back by Lu Lu Tianmeng.

"It's already too late! The Cyan Yang Demon Fire has already been summoned by the other party!" Lu Lu Tianmeng shook his head with a pale face and said.

The other cultivators who also heard this also noticed that the cyan flames at the tips of the giant flags of those red-clothed people had already shot out cyan flames as thick as arms. More than ten strands of cyan flames rushing into the sky gathered into a huge cyan flame ball several feet in diameter, floating lightly in the air and swaying, extremely eye-catching.

"This?"

Xuan Le was stunned, and then wanted to say something. But the subsequent actions of those red-clothed people made his face look extremely ugly.

Those red-clothed people pointed the tips of their flags toward the Seven Sects' cultivators who were still entangled outside the array, and immediately, the huge fireball made a muffled "pu" sound, transforming into more than ten small fireballs several feet long, rushing straight toward these cultivators.

These cyan fireballs were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they flew to the front of the Seven Sects' cultivators.

These people naturally discovered the change in the giant fireball early, and most of them didn't hesitate to use various magic treasures to meet the cyan fireballs, and a very small number used some talismans for Daoist attacks, all trying to shoot down this object.

It was a pity that this cyan flame, since it was called "Cyan Yang Demon Fire," was truly terrifying enough!

Regardless of the attacks of magic treasures or Daoist techniques, upon contact with the cyan fireball, they were all silently dissolved into nothingness.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, these cultivators' faces turned as pale as snow!

Before they could think carefully, more than ten fireballs smashed onto them simultaneously, and their external protective shields and protective spells were extinguished upon contact. The people were instantly reduced to nothingness under the demon fire, leaving no trace in this world.

The remaining cultivators who had not yet been attacked saw this terrifying scene, and there was not the slightest hesitation! Risking being given a heavy blow by the Heavenly Evil Sect cultivators opposite or simply abandoning the magic treasures they were entangled with, they fled toward the grand array.

But in this way, two or three people panicked and died directly under the other party's magic treasures.

In this way, the Seven Sects' side and the other party had just come into contact, and they had already lost nearly ten Qi Condensation disciples and one Foundation Establishment cultivator, which could be described as a heavy loss!

However, the power of the Cyan Yang Demon Fire was not just this!

Under the control of the red-clothed people, these cyan fireballs combined into a whole again, and subsequently transformed into a wave of cyan flames, rushing straight toward the Four Evils Array.

This made everyone hiding in the array change their expressions drastically, and a feeling of panic spread to all the cultivators.

Xuan Le saw this, furrowed his brows tightly, and asked Lu Lu Tianmeng directly:

"Brother Lu, what is going on with this cyan flame? How could Foundation Establishment cultivators release such terrifying true fire? The restrictions of this grand array should be able to block the impact of this fire, right?"

Lu Lu Tianmeng heard this series of questions and couldn't help but smile bitterly. But seeing that other cultivators were all staring at him intently, he had no choice but to explain helplessly:

"I will not hide it from you fellow Daoists, I only occasionally witnessed the terror of this Cyan Yang Demon Fire when I was fighting at the border! As for whether it can break the Four Evils Array, I really cannot speculate! However, I later heard some seniors mention that this kind of demon fire cannot be released casually. It not only requires these Frenzied Flame Cultivators to practice this Cyan Yang Demon Fire Art, but every release is at the cost of their own cultivation base being lowered. That is why it is so difficult to block!"

Lu Lu Tianmeng's words made the cultivators look at each other, revealing a look of depression!

At this time, that wave of cyan flames finally collided with the Four Evils restrictions of the grand array, emitting a low explosion sound, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Only to see that the cyan wave kept hitting the Four Evils light curtain wave after wave, causing the light curtain to sway non-stop, but it finally blocked this terrifying demon flame, which made the Seven Sects' cultivators in the array breathe a sigh of relief.

But Han Li and others didn't have a relaxed time for long before they became worried again.

Because as time passed bit by bit, the Four Evils light curtain had gradually dimmed under the repeated washing of the cyan flames, which was clearly a sign that the grand array was about to be broken. And although those red-clothed people were also sweating profusely while waving the giant flags, it was absolutely no problem to support it for another half an hour or so.

This made all the cultivators in the array rack their brains, trying to think of a strategy to retreat or escape.

According to the situation of other spirit mines being attacked, although the Seven Sects' cultivators who fell into the hands of the demonic path were not killed immediately, they would also be immediately transported to the enemy's rear. No one knew how the demonic path people would treat them after they became prisoners?

But the Seven Sects and the six demonic sects had fought until now, and it could be described as a sea of hatred! How could they treat the other party's prisoners favorably? Especially since the other party was particularly good at the vicious means of extracting souls and refining spirits, which made the Seven Sects' cultivators even more uneasy!

Therefore, no one mentioned surrender unless it was a last resort.

"I know an underground passage that can lead directly to several dozen miles away, which should be enough for us to escape!" The old man Yu Xing, who had been stationed here for more than ten years, suddenly said with a calm expression.

These words were like a giant rock stirring up a thousand layers of waves, immediately making the cultivators surprised, but subsequently, they became excited.

"Brother Yu, is it true?"

"That's great, this way we can escape!"

"We are saved!"

The originally uneasy Seven Sects' cultivators, in the blink of an eye, had life on their faces, overjoyed!

Han Li was also pleasantly surprised. After all, he also had no way to deal with those cyan demon flames, and even if he wanted to fight to the death, he had no way to fight.

Xuan Le and Lu Lu Tianmeng, who suppressed the excitement in their hearts, confirmed the authenticity of the underground passage from Yu Xing's mouth again, and then gave the order to retreat without hesitation!

As for the spirit stone mine, there was no need to worry. The other party would at most thoroughly destroy the entrance, making this mineral source unable to restore spirit stone supply in a short time. The spirit stones contained in the mine could not be taken away by the demonic path people at all. Even the ordinary people who mined, the two sides of the battle generally would not harm them!

Therefore, all they had to do was pat their butts and leave.

Just like this, Han Li and other fifty or so cultivators guarding the mine entered a certain underground tunnel of the spirit stone mine under Yu Xing's leadership. But just as they entered the underground, everyone felt the entire canyon tremble slightly.

"The Four Evils Array has been broken!" Xuan Le said this sentence expressionlessly.

Immediately, the footsteps of the cultivators became much faster.

In the tunnel, it was illuminated by the moonstones in the hands of the cultivators. And from the pitted walls around the tunnel, it could be seen that this tunnel was completely dug out by manpower, which made the cultivators feel somewhat surprised.

According to Yu Xing's introduction, this tunnel was originally an extremely long spirit stone branch, so it was dug out into such a long underground tunnel by people who collected spirit stones, and it directly connected to the exit at the other end.

It was fortunate that this tunnel was too long, and Yu Xing remembered it clearly. Otherwise, there would really be no way to escape today!

These words made the other cultivators nod in agreement.

But just at this moment, the tunnel suddenly shook violently, and in a few huge sounds, it actually collapsed bit by bit.

In the horrified eyes of the cultivators, countless mud and giant rocks directly buried everyone underneath, and the entire underground world became pitch black again.

Several hours later, a giant hole broke out on the wall of a natural limestone cave in the underground world, and then a lizard-like puppet beast rushed out from the hole, poked its head out to look around, and then jumped into the hole again.

After the time it takes to eat a meal, the lizard mechanism beast rushed out from the hole in the wall again, only this time, a person followed closely behind, and it was Han Li, who had survived the collapse.

Han Li stood up, looked at the surrounding environment, and a look of celebration for surviving a disaster appeared on his face!
