Chapter 114
The logic of this sentence was clearly flawed, appearing somewhat sophistical.
But it truly struck the pain in the depths of Bai Yifei's heart.
He prided himself on being omnipotent and mastering everything, yet in the end, he could not cure the poison; he had never spoken of this feeling of distress to anyone.
One must know that gu and poison were things he was extremely proficient in.
Honglian, standing behind Bai Yifei, clearly felt a bone-chilling coldness released from Bai Yifei's body, which made her unable to stop herself from shivering several times.
Tian Ze, who was lying humiliated on the ground, also curled the corner of his mouth into a strange smile.
Although he did not know why Bai Yifei was affected by such mockery, Su Xuan's words had indeed enraged Bai Yifei.
Regarding the battle between Bai Yifei and Su Xuan, Tian Ze could not help but feel some anticipation.
Although Bai Yifei was strong, Su Xuan's strength, to Tian Ze, far surpassed that of Bai Yifei.
Two enemies he did not like running into each other was something he could only wish for.
"Young Master Han, although I do not know why you would stand with this monster who murdered the King, I am still willing to give you a chance. If you choose to leave now, I can choose not to pursue this matter; otherwise, even if you are a prince, you will not escape the charge of conspiring with a monster!"
Han Fei's expression changed slightly; although Bai Yifei had given him a way out, he still did not leave immediately. He looked at Bai Yifei and said: "I came here to rescue Honglian!"
"As for the matter of my father, there is no need to trouble the Blood-Clad Marquis with the truth; I will find it out myself!"
"Is that so!"
Bai Yifei sighed and did not say anything more.
Previously, he had drawn one sword to break the door of the cell imprisoning Honglian, and now, the other sword was also drawn by him.
His figure flickered, and amidst the permeating cold air, two swords, one red and one white, slashed through the air toward Su Xuan.
Zinu and Yan Lingji retreated simultaneously, and Wei Zhuang also pulled Han Fei aside to retreat.
This corridor was only so large.
If they continued to stay by Su Xuan's side, no one could say for sure if they would be caught in the crossfire of the battle between Su Xuan and the Blood-Clad Marquis.
As for whether Su Xuan could handle the Blood-Clad Marquis's attack?
Having witnessed with their own eyes Su Xuan using a flying sword to slaughter the Baijia Army, Wei Zhuang, Zinu, Han Fei, and the others did not doubt this in the slightest.
"With the Blood-Clad Marquis attacking so impatiently, may I understand it as the Blood-Clad Marquis being shamed into anger?"
Su Xuan raised the Shark Tooth in his hand, blocking the Blood-Clad Marquis's twin swords just right.
Bai Yifei's voice rang out, "You colluded with Tian Ze to murder the King, and when you were at the Palace, in front of the Grand General, you escaped with the Baiyue monster woman. Now that I have run into you, I obviously cannot let you escape again!"
"So that's how it is!"
Su Xuan nodded perfunctorily, his mouth suddenly opening, and a ball of flame was instantly released.
As the flame appeared, a terrifying high temperature instantly filled the corridor, dispelling the coldness within and simultaneously melting the frost permeating around Bai Yifei.
This was because after his twin swords were blocked by Su Xuan's Shark Tooth, Bai Yifei had secretly channeled his internal energy to unleash his unique "Cold Art."
Bai Yifei pulled back to avoid the direct force of the flames, and an expression of surprise inevitably appeared on his face.
Although it was his first meeting with Su Xuan.
He was definitely not unfamiliar with Su Xuan; it could be said that he knew every method Su Xuan had displayed since he appeared in the State of Han.
Summoning wind and rain, refining elixirs and medicine, calling gods and ghosts, and in the battle with Yan Lingji, he had shown the ability to swallow flames and not fear them... but being able to not fear flames did not mean one could control them.
"You really do... surprise me!"
Bai Yifei's low voice rang out.
"If you like being surprised so much, then I advise you to get enough of it at once, because you won't have the chance to be surprised for much longer."
Su Xuan's voice rang out, and he spat out another burst of flame.
The Art of Spitting Flame could not only swallow flames but also spit them out; this was a fire-control technique. Even though Su Xuan's technique had only just reached minor success, the flames he spat out were not comparable to ordinary fire.
How does one see the difference between it and ordinary fire?
The biggest difference is that its temperature is much higher.
Yan Lingji, as the only fire-based spell controller on the scene, noticed this immediately.
If Su Xuan had mastered this fire-control technique, it was no wonder he could easily defeat her that day.
After a burst of flame was spat out by Su Xuan, a wild wind arose, fueling the fire's momentum. A sword flew out from Su Xuan's hand, and the sword light, following the wild wind and rolling with the flames, instantly headed toward Bai Yifei at the other end of the corridor.
