Chapter 267: Ye Lingyun's Ambush

Just at the moment Mu Lingxi's attack landed on the magma giant beast.

A cold, clear moon shadow appeared silently in mid-air.

"Moon Kill!"

Jiang Xuan pointed a finger at the moon shadow.

That blade-like moon shadow slashed down from the sky.

The cracks on the magma giant beast's head had not yet had time to repair when they suffered such a heavy blow, causing it to shatter by more than half instantly.

Large amounts of magma fell down, like a rain of magma.

"It worked!"

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi and Jiang Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

However, before the joy on their faces could fully unfold.

From the beast's head, which had shattered by more than half, strands of fiery red and viscous magma spread out, and in the blink of an eye, the missing parts of the head were replenished.

"Oh no!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan's heart sank.

This magma giant beast was clearly just an avatar.

Its core was very likely the Spirit Flame nurtured in this place.

Unless that Spirit Flame was broken or dragged out, this magma giant beast was equivalent to an immortal body and could not be defeated.

Originally, she had guessed that the Spirit Flame was inside the magma giant beast's head.

Now it seemed she had miscalculated.

The Spirit Flame likely did not have a fixed position within the magma giant beast's body, but could change its position at will!

At the same time.

Mu Lingxi's expression also became extremely grave.

After seeing the magma giant beast's head recover even after being shattered, the same guess arose in her heart.

It was just that.

This fire beast had a massive form and monstrous flame power within its body; trying to locate the position of the Spirit Flame inside it was almost impossible.

Roar~

Just at this moment, the magma giant beast suddenly roared loudly.

Seemingly completely enraged by the two's attacks, a flash of blue light flickered in its eyes.

The next moment.

Endless flames surged and expanded in all directions with it as the center.

The speed at which the flames spread was astonishing.

Before Mu Lingxi and Jiang Xuan could react, they were engulfed by the sea of fire.

Fortunately, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Xing Li, and Yang Wanxin were far enough away and dodged in time, only just managing to avoid the invasion of the sea of fire.

A moment later.

When the sea of fire faded.

Mu Lingxi and Jiang Xuan had long since been forced down to the ground.

There were no burns or scorch marks on their bodies.

But at this moment, their skin presented a strange pale blue color.

Bursts of terrifying high heat emanated from within their bodies, as if they had turned into two furnaces.

"This beast, it actually knows how to ambush!"

Jiang Xuan struggled to resist the erosion of the flames within her body, her expression turning ugly.

Who could have imagined that an avatar controlled by a Spirit Flame would actually know how to feign an attack.

The so-called sea of fire was merely a superficial attack.

Although powerful, it could not severely injure her and Mu Lingxi.

The true killing blow was actually the two wisps of pale blue flame hidden within the sea of fire.

While she and Mu Lingxi were exerting all their strength to resist the burning of the sea of fire, the two wisps of pale blue flame silently burned through their Spiritual Power defenses.

They burrowed into their bodies.

This was what caused the current scene.

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, a whistling sound arrived, and the sky darkened.

A giant magma claw swiped over.

The two suppressed the flames within their bodies while dodging to the side.

But the flames inside their bodies ultimately affected their speed.

Although they dodged the giant claw, they failed to dodge the gale around the claw.

They were sent flying far away.

"Good opportunity!"

Ye Lingyun and Qingcheng, hiding in the shadows, exchanged a glance and charged out simultaneously.

Ye Lingyun waved his palm, and a large blade formed from purple flames swept horizontally toward Mu Lingxi's Three Lives Body.

Mu Lingxi's expression tightened, and her three bodies simultaneously channeled their Domain Power.

The next moment, her three bodies vanished at the same time, and when they reappeared, they were already dozens of feet away.

They had narrowly avoided the attack of the flame blade.

However, using the Dao Domain to teleport requires consuming a large amount of Spiritual Power.

In that instant, her suppression of the flames within her body inevitably slackened for a moment.

Under the backlash of the flames, her Three Lives Body simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and her complexion turned pale.

While Ye Lingyun was attacking Mu Lingxi, Qingcheng's movements were not slow in the slightest.

She pointed a finger.

A jade-white long sword transformed into a white rainbow, appearing before Jiang Xuan in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth and threw out a paper talisman.

The moment the paper talisman collided with the Flying Sword, it instantly transformed into a golden bell.

Bang~

The golden bell shattered instantly.

Although the jade-white long sword was blocked, the sharp sword Qi still pierced through the golden bell and stabbed into Jiang Xuan's shoulder.

Amidst the splashing of blood, Jiang Xuan flew backward.

"It's you, Ye Lingyun!"

"You actually launched a sneak attack!"

"Despicable!"

Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Xing Li, and Yang Wanxin were all shocked when they saw this scene.

Ye Lingyun withdrew his gaze from Mu Lingxi, looked at the four of them, and sneered.

"Heh, despicable?"

"Compared to that fiend Wang Jianqiang, Ye is not worthy of those two words."

Wang Yu Yao frowned, her peripheral vision scanning the weakened Mu Lingxi and Jiang Xuan, who had just fallen to the ground after being wounded.

She forced herself to calm down.

"Ye Lingyun, you actually dare to appear here; aren't you afraid that my Senior Brother will kill you?"

"Wang Yu Yao, are you trying to scare Ye?"

Hearing Wang Yu Yao's words, Ye Lingyun sneered, "If Ye is not mistaken, Wang Jianqiang should not be here, right? Or perhaps, he is nearby but has been entangled and cannot get away."

"Otherwise, why would he watch you deal with this magma beast without making a move himself?"

Speaking of this, a cold murderous intent flashed across Ye Lingyun's face, "Furthermore, let alone that Wang Jianqiang is not here, even if he were, so what?"

"Could Ye be afraid of him?"

Hearing his words, mockery appeared on the faces of Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li simultaneously, "Not afraid? Then why did you suddenly flee when the Air Pavilion appeared before?"

Ye Lingyun frowned and said indifferently, "Ye simply suddenly remembered an urgent matter and left temporarily."

"You were lucky that you had already fled by the time Ye returned there."

"Otherwise, why would Ye have gone to such great lengths to track you to this place?"

"Ye appearing this time is to behead Wang Jianqiang, and also..."

"You blind, cheap women!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Lingyun suddenly struck out with a palm.

Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Xing Li, and Yang Wanxin all had their expressions tighten, and they all attacked together to defend.

However, they did not have Mu Lingxi's combat power after all.

They were not Ye Lingyun's match at the same level, let alone now that Ye Lingyun was at the Nascent Soul Early Stage?

Under the suppression of cultivation, the three had no power to resist at all.

They were directly struck, vomiting blood as they flew backward.

Ye Lingyun looked at Wang Yu Yao and Xing Li.

Then he looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Yang Wanxin, feeling increasingly unbalanced in his heart.

Another such beautiful female cultivator?

What right does that Wang Jianqiang have?

Finally, his gaze fixed on Su Yutong.

"Rest assured, Ye will not kill you now."

"That would be letting you off too easily."

"I want you to see with your own eyes Wang Jianqiang kneeling before me begging for mercy, and then being beheaded by me!"

"I want to~~~"

Whoosh~

Ye Lingyun had just been about to continue saying something.

A sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came from behind him.

"Daoist Friend Ye, watch out!"

At the same time, a voice entered his ears.

Ye Lingyun reacted instantly.

Following that, he discovered...

That magma beast had actually ignored Jiang Xuan and Mu Lingxi, who were closest to it.

Instead, it was charging toward the area where he was located.
