Chapter 225: Lingering Thoughts of an Ancient Powerhouse

"Be careful!"

Lu Xun was wondering why Fu Xue suddenly felt shy.

The evil spirit outside stirred again.

They saw it violently revolve around the two of them.

This rotation was not horizontal, but a full-body rotation.

It was like a ball, enclosing Lu Xun and Fu Xue inside.

Now, the entire ball spun at high speed.

"This guy is up to something again; I don't know if the Immobilization Spell will work on him."

Lu Xun decided to take the initiative.

We cannot let this evil spirit keep attacking.

"Although Southern Ming Separation Fire is not my innate spirit fire, if I nourish it with Chaotic Power, its power will greatly increase; as long as it burns his true form, I fear no matter how strong he is."

Lu Xun decided to use the Immobilization Spell.

The evil spirit outside is indeed strong; if it were replaced by a star-space alien or an alien of equal strength, Lu Xun and Fu Xue together could not defeat it.

But who let Southern Ming Separation Fire be its bane?

These evil spirits also don't have as many trump cards as alien powerhouses.

Lu Xun only needs to let Southern Ming Separation Fire burn its body; even if it tries to survive by severing a limb, it still has to shed a layer of skin.

The danger to the two of them was naturally resolved.

"Teacher, this is the Fire Control Technique; later you control a cluster of Southern Ming Separation Fire to attack another direction."

To be safe, Lu Xun told Fu Xue a subordinate version of the Fire Control Technique.

This allowed Fu Xue to temporarily control Southern Ming Separation Fire.

"Good."

Fu Xue sent a mental transmission.

"Let's begin."

After everything was ready, Lu Xun, without sparing consumption, released a large amount of Chaotic Power.

"Boom!"

The flames of Southern Ming Separation Fire surged.

Immediately afterward, Lu Xun directly used the Immobilization Spell.

As soon as the Immobilization Spell was cast, the evil spirit that had been spinning at high speed was immediately stunned.

The Immobilization Spell still worked on it.

"Now!"

Lu Xun moved.

Fu Xue also moved at the same time.

Each carrying a large cluster of Southern Ming Separation Fire, they rushed to the evil spirit's side.

"Boom~"

Southern Ming Separation Fire burned intensely, instantly igniting the evil spirit.

At the same moment the evil spirit was burned by Southern Ming Separation Fire, the Immobilization Spell wore off.

The evil spirit let out a silent howl, quickly dispersing in an attempt to flee.

Southern Ming Separation Fire burned it so painfully.

"Want to escape?"

Lu Xun went all out, continually creating obstacles for the evil spirit.

Fu Xue likewise went all out, activating an ice-based martial technique, relying on her innate flame to block part of the evil spirit.

"Boom~"

Southern Ming Separation Fire spread rapidly; wherever it reached, the evil spirit could not block it.

"How to block?"

It's like gasoline after it ignites; the gasoline itself has no way to block the flames, not even if poured into water.

This evil spirit is truly strong; precisely because of its strength, after being burned away, Southern Ming Separation Fire is like continually consuming a potent tonic, burning even more fiercely.

"As expected, it resorts to severing a limb to survive."

Seeing that escape was impossible and it couldn't rush out quickly, the evil spirit directly split into several parts.

This was to abandon the burning parts and preserve its strength.

After splitting into several parts, four parts rushed outward, while the other two respectively attacked Lu Xun and Fu Xue.

This guy is indeed clever.

Seeing the evil spirit charge, Lu Xun neither dodged nor avoided; upon its approach, his body suddenly ignited with Phoenix True Flame.

Although Phoenix True Flame is not a bane of evil spirits like Southern Ming Separation Fire, it poses a great threat to them as well.

Especially after this evil spirit split into several parts, each part's strength greatly diminished.

The evil spirit was directly burned to the point of incapacity.

With a flick of his hands, Lu Xun attracted Southern Ming Separation Fire and gave it a swift end.

"It still escaped with two parts, but the gain is sufficient."

After a dozen or so minutes, the battle ended.

The evil spirit's strategy of severing a limb to survive succeeded; it escaped with two parts, while the rest were entirely consumed by Southern Ming Separation Fire.

Thus, Southern Ming Separation Fire became even more terrifying.

The soul relics of this evil spirit were also divided into several.

Each soul relic is not small in size.

This shows its great strength.

This battle was still rather dangerous.

If not for the Southern Ming Separation Fire, Fu Xue and Lu Xun would definitely not be a match for it.

Even if Fu Yue were called over, it would likely only protect the two as they retreat.

This evil spirit is hard to kill.

Fortunately, the Southern Ming Separation Fire is a natural counter to them.

"Huh?"

Just as Lu Xun was about to gather all the soul relics, a human figure suddenly appeared on one of them.

As soon as the figure appeared, it quickly grew to about Lu Xun's height.

It merely looked somewhat transparent.

Upon looking, Lu Xun saw that the figure resembled a human in some ways, yet also had some differences.

It could be considered a humanoid.

He looked quite old, dressed in an ancient robe, with a uniquely shaped sword on his back.

After appearing, he stood there blankly, his gaze dull, like a wooden puppet.

"Teacher, what's going on with this person?"

Lu Xun observed for a while, saw that the person had no other movement, then asked Fu Xue.

Fu Xue was also observing this transparent person.

"He should be a remnant thought of an ancient expert; previously, due to contamination, he combined with some other thoughts to form that evil spirit, and after being burned by the Southern Ming Separation Fire, he regained clarity."

Fu Xue said.

A remnant thought of an ancient expert?

To be able to remain after being burned by the Southern Ming Separation Fire, this remnant thought suggests the ancient expert himself must have been quite strong.

I don't know if this remnant thought still has consciousness or remembers anything.

"Hey?"

Lu Xun reached out and waved his hand in front of the person's eyes.

The remnant thought had no reaction.

Lu Xun thought for a moment, took out a soul relic, drew out its soul power, turned it into threads, and guided it into the remnant thought's body.

This move had an effect.

The soul power of the soul relic was absorbed by the remnant thought.

This ancient remnant thought began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Doing this is actually somewhat wasteful.

Because soul relics are too precious.

However, after a few days, Lu Xun had killed many evil spirits with the Southern Ming Separation Fire, and he had many soul relics in hand.

Lu Xun wanted to try to strengthen this remnant thought, and then learn some information from its mouth.

For example, about this ancient battlefield.

Even if this information is useless to Lan Xing, satisfying Lu Xun's curiosity is also good.

There are too many secrets in the starry sky.

Lu Xun slightly went to investigate these secrets; wasting a bit of soul relic is fine.

Meanwhile, Fu Xue did not stop him.

After using up about half of the soul relics, Lu Xun stopped.

At this point, the ancient remnant thought looked quite solid.

To the naked eye, it even felt like a real person.

But the other party still stood there blankly, motionless.

Lu Xun waved his hand again in front of him.

"Hey?"

While shouting, Lu Xun used his heart link to try to sense the other's condition.

"Run."

Suddenly.

The ancient remnant thought spoke.

What it said was not words, but a soul fluctuation.

"Run?"

Before Lu Xun could react, he saw that person's face turn pale.

The face was deathly white, the lips trembling, the eyes wide open, full of fear that could not be hidden.

It was as if he had seen a ghost alive.

"Run quickly, He is about to awaken; if you don't run now, you won't be able to escape!"

The ancient remnant thought cried out urgently.
