Chapter 1283: Fire Fox Fan, Nine Fire Fox Method

The scarlet vertical pupils were eerie yet filled with explosive light.

The fire‑red body, like a hillside, opened its fang‑filled mouth toward the three of them, spitting flames that formed a fireball condensed with countless Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flames, which was no less impressive than its own body.

The massive fireball was hurled at the crowd, and this variation made everyone stare at that body; Tianhu'er shouted, "Dodge, all dodge, don't collide head‑on."

After saying that, she immediately dodged, but if she were hit by that massive fireball, her soul would also turn to ash.

Hu Jiuwei, the moment she heard that, had no time to scold, turned and left, pulling Chen Chuyang along, but found Chen Chuyang standing still in place, motionless, which puzzled her.

"Husband, quickly dodge."

Chen Chuyang smiled at her, waved a hand, sending her away; Hu Jiuwei then vanished from sight, reappeared beside Tianhu'er so quickly that even Tianhu'er didn't have time to react.

Tianhu'er steadied her soul, caught Hu Jiuwei, and looked toward Chen Chuyang's location; the massive fireball arrived before Chen Chuyang, a cyan‑red sphere flashing two lights, the terrifying Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame annihilating everything, her soul power trembled, and her entire soul seemed to be eroding.

Tianhu'er immediately steadied her soul and shouted, "Chen Chuyang, dodge, don't act recklessly."

However, by the time her voice rang out, Chen Chuyang had already touched the massive fireball; in that instant, the fireball began to shrink and then vanished before their eyes.

Tianhu'er stared dumbfounded at the scene, the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame had been swallowed.

The person opened his mouth and swallowed the fire the size of a hillside in one gulp, ingesting it all; he did not explode, his soul did not vanish, and he remained standing in place.

"Ate it all?"

"This is Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame; even a Dao Realm wouldn't dare touch it, and he swallowed it all? So much Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame, swallowed?"

"Glug."

Tianhu'er choked a few times, unable to believe it, wiped her eyes repeatedly, yet still could not accept it.

Time passed bit by bit, a quarter of an hour elapsed.

The scene was still silent enough to hear a needle fall; Hu Jiuwei stared at it and, unable to help but doubt, asked, "Tianhu'er, are you exaggerating the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame?"

Tianhu'er heard this, her dull eyes looking over, and said bitterly, "The Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame is one of the Fox Clan's strongest flames, burning souls, a soul's nemesis; after all these years, only Fire Fox managed to fuse it successfully, refining it into his own flame."

"Fire Fox's current status is all thanks to the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame; do you think this flame could be weak?"

Hu Jiuwei pointed at Chen Chuyang and asked, "Then why does husband have no trouble at all?"

"..." Tianhu'er gave a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.

Fire Fox's mood matched Tianhu'er's, staring at the distant figure with shock.

She was stunned for a long time before reacting, gazing at the man before her, dazed.

"He swallowed the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame?"

"So much Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame, even confronting a Dao Realm directly would be a bitter defeat."

"This kid is just …"

Suddenly, Fire Fox was stunned; she realized she could not see through this man's cultivation and strength, never having discerned it from start to finish.

He seemed like an ordinary person, yet also seemed very weak.

He was unremarkable, so she initially didn't pay him any heed, even Hu Jiuwei's threats were higher than Chen Chuyang's; yet this man … swallowed so much Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame.

Even with a foggy mind, Fire Fox knew this man was not simple, not to be trifled with.

"This person is very dangerous."

At that moment, she understood why Tianhu'er sought to cooperate with him, and compromised.

"Who exactly are you?" Fire Fox squinted, asking Chen Chuyang's identity.

His threatening aura rose, making Fire Fox uneasy; that feeling was unprecedented, even Tianhu'er had never made her so wary.

"Hic."

Chen Chuyang opened his mouth, let out a full burp, and expelled a stream of black vapor.

He licked his lips, grinned with clenched teeth: "Tastes good, Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame, a fine flame, stronger than I imagined, good, good."

That flame was swallowed by him, more precisely by Pill Fire, becoming part of Pill Fire.

After Pill Fire fused with the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame, it grew even stronger.

In recent years, Chen Chuyang's Pill Fire has fused with many flames, mostly beast fire, also a good amount of earth fire; over at Tianwai, Huang Yan sent many flames, all of which Chen Chuyang merged into Pill Fire, becoming part of Pill Fire.

So far, Chen Chuyang's Pill Fire has fused with fewer than a hundred, but dozens of flames; the sheer number and variety are such that even he has forgotten some names, all being beast‑spirit flames of considerable rank.

After merging with the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame, Pill Fire was elevated again.

Its power increased by about one percent, a very good flame, of high rank.

Chen Chuyang still wanted more Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame; the Fire Fox before him was a good person with plenty of it, and Chen Chuyang set his sights on it.

All of it is his.

"Who exactly are you?" Fire Fox lowered his voice, asking angrily.

Chen Chuyang did not answer her, but stared at the flames on her, smiling: "Your flames are fine, how will you give them to me?"

Fire Fox: "..."

Tianhu'er: "..."

Hu Jiuwei let out a sputtering laugh: "Sput, husband is still so mischievous."

This scene, how familiar, how funny.

Husband remains the same, unchanged, and now Hu Jiuwei feels relieved.

Husband's demeanor shows he has no issue, doesn't regard Fire Fox, and those flames are not feared by him.

"Has he always been like this?" Tianhu'er asked, turning her head.

Hu Jiuwei nodded: "Yes, in husband's eyes, nothing can threaten him."

"No matter how strong the Nine‑Tail Azure Spirit Flame is, it's just husband's food; Tianhu'er, are you sure you didn't conspire with that woman against us?"

Hu Jiuwei immediately put distance between them, warning Tianhu'er, completely forgetting the gratitude Tianhu'er had just shown.

Tianhu'er, unable to laugh or cry, explained: "Hu Jiuwei, do you still not know who I am? Don't be fooled by that vile woman Fire Fox; she excels at confusing hearts, making you unknowingly believe her lies."

Hu Jiuwei still wore a wary expression, not believing Tianhu'er's explanation.

Tianhu'er was about to continue explaining when the fire fox showed new movement.

Only seeing the fire fox control nine tails standing upright, on the tails condensed nine clusters of flame, which turned into nine flame foxes, the foxes seeming to come alive as they attacked Chen Chuyang.

Each fox had its own consciousness, and these flames seemed to have come alive.

Moreover, a fan appeared in the fire fox's hand, merely an illusion, a fan condensed of flame, with intricate patterns etched upon it.

It seemed to be the pattern of a fox.
