The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 32 - Earth Heart Li Fire

Zhao Jiuge ignored him and put on a cold face. When Su Su saw this, he gritted his teeth in anger. He wanted to use some strength and pinch that face.

Zhao Jiuge endured the discomfort in his body and used the remaining bit of spirit power. A golden light covered his body and illuminated the night, allowing him to see the unmarked grave clearly.

Bang, bang, bang...

The green spirit light and the dazzling golden light collided. After colliding, spirit power spread out, creating a terrifying scene in the sky above the unmarked grave.

Strong ripples spread out and hit all the coffin caps within range, causing knocking sounds to reverberate. All the coffins around the area shook and the ground trembled. If one looked closely, a wisp of gray smoke filled the air and all the grass in the area withered after the collision.

After a few collisions of spirit power, sweat started dripping from Zhao Jiuge's face and his face turned pale. His old injuries, new wounds, and fatigue from using too much spirit power made him feel weak. Zhao Jiuge felt like he could not breathe.

The skinny man's eyes were filled with excitement. He looked at Zhao Jiuge's helpless expression and licked his lips as if he could already taste the delicious food in his mouth. The closer the prey is captured, the more excited he is. He felt like they had been entangled for too long and he became a little impatient.

His right hand grabbed the small bell on his waist. It was the size of his palm and was brass-colored. There were two blackish brown runes that were parallel to each other in the middle of the bell. The whole bell gave off a strange feeling.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding...

A crisp sound echoed, and waves of gray ripples resounded in the sky. It sounds good at first, but soon after, a severe headache strikes, as if your skull was pierced with a needle.

Zhao Jiuge's already pale face became painful as if he was about to collapse. However, Su Su stood there as if nothing had happened and quietly observed the situation. The sound of a crisp bell resounded in the night sky.

Creese, crackle, crackle...

The hundreds of red coffins around him that were placed in a pattern all started to tremble and suddenly erupted. The decaying coffins all broke apart and debris scattered to the ground, mixing with the ground. An even stronger smell of decay appeared.

After smelling the pungent smell of the rotting corpse, Su Su who was originally calm suddenly became startled and the smile on her face disappeared. The difference was so great, it was as if he had become a different person. This was the first time Zhao Jiuge had seen Su Su with an uncertain expression.

Zhao Jiuge saw all the movements around them as the hundreds of coffins trembled violently. The coffin lid broke, exposing the rotting corpse inside. Some of the corpses were all dried up without a trace of blood, while some of the corpses still had rotting flesh. It is not known how long they have been there. Just looking at them will make you want to vomit. Zhao Jiuge cursed the thin man in his mind while trying to think of a way to deal with this situation. 

Zhao Jiuge suddenly realized that when the ripples from the bell reached the corpse, many of the corpses in the coffin began to move. He's really dumbfounded. In Zhao Jiuge's mind, he thought that the most amazing thing he had ever seen in his life was when he saw Bo Re slicing a flood dragon. He always fantasized about how one day he would fly across the world with a flying sword and correct all the wrongs in the world.

He raised his sword, pointed down, and smiled.

There was probably nothing more amazing than this in the cultivation world. However, today, meeting the skinny man told him how mysterious and strange that cultivation was, and this also sounded the alarm in his heart.

The movements around them became increasingly violent, causing extreme discomfort. Although Zhao Jiuge was stupid, he knew the danger. He no longer bothered to keep his pride as a man before Su Su and quickly took out the Li Fire Flag he had obtained in Dong Yang City.

He held the flag in his right hand, and the Fire Flag Li fluttered in the wind created by this uncomfortable atmosphere. At this moment, the skinny man was singing while shaking the brass bell. Ripples echoed in the air as if it was water, and the ripples of spirit power created by the bell gave off a cold aura.

Zhao Jiuge saw this in horror as his heart pounded nonstop. He raised his right hand and injected spirit power into the Fire Flag of Li. A flash of silver light appeared on the surface of the flag and then there was nothing.

Zhao Jiuge was dumbfounded as he stared at the Fire Flag Li in his hand, while the movements of the skinny man became even more intense. Su Su looked at Zhao Jiuge's dumbfounded gaze and could not help but roll his eyes. He put his right hand over his head and inevitably said, “You are really stupid. A precious treasure is different from a magical treasure. Hurry up, take control of your mind and use your spirit power. Otherwise, even if you obtain a heavenly Treasure in the future, you will still not be able to use it. You're a fool."

There was no time to feel embarrassed, so he quickly followed Su Su's instructions. He calmed his mind and injected his spirit power into the Fire Flag of Li. Then he controlled his thoughts and carefully entered the Li Fire Flag.

A hot aura suddenly appeared. It turned out that the Li Fire Flag was refined from the clumps of Li Fire found deep within the volcano. It also consisted of Black Gold, Heavenly Sutra, and other materials to seal the Li Flame within the pocket space inside the flag. When facing your enemy, you only need to control it with your mind with the help of Spirit Power.

The mysteries of nature not only amazed people, but also made them feel so small. Nothing stays the same. No matter how beautiful something is, it will eventually grow old. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will eventually wither. Only by becoming immortal could one exist for as long as the world. However, the path to immortality was filled with danger, and it was a difficult path to travel, but cultivating was already heaven-defying.

There is no shortage of dangerous and strange places in the world. There were many strange things between mountains and rivers, so things like veins, earth flames, cold springs, and such would appear based on the prosperity of the land. Some of the things produced were equal to strong cultivators.

That was why when one walked on the thin ice that was the path of cultivation, it was inevitable to feel love and fear. They were happy that the world was filled with various treasures and strange things that could strengthen their cultivation. They were afraid that the path of cultivation was difficult, that every step was life and death and had to be passed carefully.

Hissing, hissing... Sizzling...

When the Fire Li inside the flag was released, the spirit power in the air became distorted. The fire was entangled with gray smoke and the gray smoke burned out. His voice was like when Zhao Jiuge was playing firecrackers during the new year, or when he was helping his grandfather take care of the stove.

The mass of Li Fire was several meters high. The bottom is yellow and white, while the top is orange. Because of the night wind, it was as if some fire snakes were dancing. It also brought warmth to the miserable atmosphere. The light made Zhao Jiuge's nervous heart feel warm and relaxed.

The skinny man with the brass-colored bell was extremely calm, as if everything was within his control. When he saw the fire suddenly appear, he was shocked and his heart lost a beat or two. He quickly raised the bell above his head and started ringing.

The skinny man cultivated a twisted and evil path, so he was naturally afraid of Li Fire and the Thunder Gang. Since ancient times, evil was suppressed, and Li Fire and Thunder Gang were made by heaven to punish them. When fighting evil, their strength would increase by several folds.

With the urging of the brass bell, the ring of the nearby red coffin exploded and the rotting corpse inside completely stood up. They staggered towards Zhao Jiuge and Su Su.

These decomposing bodies all had gray or dark green smoke around their bodies. Zhao Jiuge knew that the smoke was poisonous, so how could he let the corpses get close? Not to mention this is only the closest — there are still hundreds of coffins left.

Zhao Jiuge no longer hesitated and waved the Fire Flag of Li. His mind controlled Fire Li to fly forward and surround these dozen corpses.
