Chapter 1748: Fellow Daoist Killed Well

Seeing this scene, Lie Tianqiong could no longer control his anger. His hands formed various mysterious seals in the air, and the heaven-topping sea of fire suddenly descended.

"Humble ants, today I will make you die without a burial place!"

Boom!

The scorching sea of fire was like a true ocean, covering the sky and sun, descending toward Xu Que and the others.

Er Gouzi immediately screamed: "My roasted chicken wings! They're all burnt! Burnt!"

Elder Chen also became a bit panicked: "Fellow Daoist, hurry up and prepare for battle! This 'Melting Heaven and Fusing Earth' is not easy to deal with!"

Xu Que then threw Er Gouzi behind him, stood up, and stretched: "Phew... just a sea of fire, what's so hard to deal with."

His own flames were fused from countless strange fires; what could a mere ordinary sea of fire do to him?

Just as he was about to make a move, a fierce firelight suddenly surged from Xu Que's body, turning into a small flame, floating in the air, dancing violently up and down.

"Eh, what is this?" Xu Que was stunned; he didn't have this kind of flame on his body.

The flame danced up and down twice, then suddenly flew out, flying toward that sea of fire.

Xu Que felt an emotion of anger from the small flame.

It was the anger of a superior being offended by an inferior being.

"Ding, detected the Fire God's anger. Mortal flames dare to show off in front of a deity. The Fire God's will will automatically counterattack, letting mortals understand what true fire is!"

Xu Que was immediately shocked: "The Fire God is actually helping me?"

"Ding, this counterattack is not the Fire God's active behavior, but a passive reaction of the will attached to the Fire God's curse. The Fire God does not allow those cursed by him to die under inferior flames."

Xu Que suddenly realized; this was probably the legendary persistence of "You can only be killed by me, no one else can kill you."

He didn't expect the Fire God to be such a stylish guy; it was truly impressive.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped his steps, stood in place, and quietly watched the massive sea of fire in the air.

Elder Chen had originally felt relieved when he saw him start to act, but now seeing him stop again, he was scared out of his wits by the small flame.

"Fellow Daoist! Don't joke around at a time like this! If this move falls, we will really die without a burial place!" Elder Chen said in terror.

He had seen with his own eyes how Lie Tianqiong had personally unleashed this move back then and melted an opponent of the same realm into slag.

Lie Tianqiong saw this scene and laughed wildly and arrogantly: "Stupid! It seems you have been scared out of your wits by this seat, actually hoping that such a small flame can defeat this seat! Wait until this seat melts you into slag, then I will tell you how idiotic this behavior is!"

Xu Que shook his head, suddenly lit a cigarette, took a light puff, then exhaled. The faint smoke brushed past his black lenses, appearing calm and confident.

He said indifferently: "This kind of small scene doesn't even require me to do it myself; it can be settled with just a snap of the fingers."

Elder Chen was already numb, thinking, *You really can brag... *

However, Xu Que really did raise his right hand in front of him and snapped his fingers lightly.

The sound of the snap wasn't loud, and only Elder Chen standing beside him could hear it.

But just after such a snap, that small flame that had rushed into the sea of fire suddenly bloomed with peerless firelight, and then a violent wind emanated from the flame, instantly sweeping across the entire sky.

Then, Lie Tianqiong discovered that the sea of fire had lost control.

No matter how hard he tried, driving it with his divine sense, the entire sea of fire was not within his perception range, as if it weren't a move he had unleashed at all.

"This, how is this possible?" Even though he was in the center of the sea of fire and hadn't sweated, a drop of sweat finally fell from his forehead at this moment.

That fierce gale wrapped around the entire sky, completely enveloping the sea of fire within it.

Subsequently, these winds became like substance and began to shrink crazily. The entire sea of fire also slowly shrank along with it, from initially covering the sky and sun, gradually turning into the size of a lake, then into a small pond, and finally condensing into the size of a water droplet.

Then, only a "pop" sound was heard, and the water droplet condensed from the flames merged into the small flame, like a stream entering the river and sea, silent and soundless.

The entire process only took a few breaths of time.

Elder Chen felt as if he were dreaming; clearly, that terrifying power was right in front of him, yet it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

If it weren't for Xu Que beside him and the roasted chicken wings in the distance still reminding him that everything he had just experienced was real, he would have felt he was truly living in a dream.

Besides him, the most shocked was Lie Tianqiong.

He was already stunned on the spot, blankly looking at the empty sky, trying to find a trace of evidence that the sea of fire had once existed.

None.

He couldn't find anything.

You must know, the sea of fire from this move didn't come from nothing, but required him to collect flames from all over, constantly melting them, and then summoning them to kill enemies during battle.

To condense this sea of fire, he had searched almost the entire Immortal Cloud Continent, not knowing how many dangers he had experienced, only then collecting enough powerful flames to condense the sea of fire.

It was precisely by relying on this sea of fire that he had sat on the position of Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Gate.

Relying on this sea of fire, he had led the Blazing Sun Gate to become a leader among third-grade sects, and it looked like he was about to lead the entire sect to become a second-grade sect, completing an unprecedented glorious feat for the Blazing Sun Gate.

As long as he could complete all this, his name would surely be praised by countless members of the Blazing Sun Gate, and for thousands upon thousands of years to come, people would remember the name Lie Tianqiong.

It was he who led the sect to stand at a brand-new height!

But now, everything was gone.

A second-grade sect, leaving a name for eternity, and even losing the sea of fire, he had no way to break through to the half-step Immortal Emperor Realm.

Half of his cultivation was in the sea of fire; the sea of fire was equivalent to half of him.

Without the sea of fire, it would be good enough if he could maintain the cultivation of the peak Immortal Venerable Realm.

"This... how is this possible?" Lie Tianqiong was silent for a long time before spitting out these words with difficulty.

That small flame seemed dissatisfied with the sea of fire, swayed back to Xu Que's side, and with a "pop", merged into his brow, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Que sensed it and confirmed that this small flame was a purely will-based thing, only then feeling relieved. He looked at Lie Tianqiong and smiled indifferently: "It seems Sect Master Lie is very dissatisfied with me killing your son, actually using such a large sea of fire to welcome me?"

Lie Tianqiong's face was gloomy, staring silently at Xu Que, his body trembling uncontrollably.

A moment later, his face flushed red, and he suddenly roared: "That damned rebellious son, this seat had long wanted to destroy my relatives for the sake of justice! Fellow Daoist removing a heart disease for me, this seat is extremely grateful!"

Elder Chen's body swayed, almost falling to the ground, his heart filled with sincere admiration.

Why else would people say he's a Sect Master...

This ability to steer with the wind, he couldn't even catch up to it even if he whipped his horse!
