NOVEL NEXT Chapter 753 Scare Away!
Qingcheng.
At a height of one meter seventy, her tall and slender figure was voluptuous, and every movement exuded an oppressive noble aura. Coupled with her near-perfect physique, she carried a unique charm, akin to a queen reigning supreme over all beneath the heavens.
This kind of beauty was as luxurious as peonies and as aloof as Tianshan's snow lotuses, with the fragrance of wildflowers in spring.
It also instilled a kind of reverence in people, a "behold but don't touch" awe.
The view revealed as such a revered beauty bent over was even more blood-stirring.
Had it not been for the healing with Dragon Saliva, Qin Feng would never have imagined he would have had "intimate" contact with such a beauty in this lifetime...
At this moment.
Chaos had erupted outside!
After probing an attack for half an hour, the people from the Supreme Sect, seeing that Palace Master Qingcheng had yet to emerge, deduced that she was gravely injured and unable to activate the Red Fire Sky Formation, thus began their full assault!
Thirty thousand men, charging over from the seven great valleys, fought their way to the plaza in front of Red Fire Peak!
The forces of Red Fire Palace were also forced to retreat continuously.
"Hmph! So we've been deceived for so long!" Sect Master Huntian Wu, riding a giant black panther, said, "Then let us level the Red Fire Palace!"
"Kill —!!"
Thirty thousand men charged towards Red Fire Palace.
"It's over, all is lost..."
The people of the Red Fire Palace each fell into despair.
At that moment.
A huge ball of fire suddenly burst forth from inside the palace!
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was indeed Qingcheng!
Qingcheng, at this moment, was ablaze with red fire, holding a Red Tassel Spear, standing in front, facing the thirty thousand enemies, she shouted: "Who dares to step forward even half a step!!"
As the words fell.
Silence descended upon the entire scene!
Everyone was intimidated by her momentum and momentarily at a loss.
"Fantastic!"
The people of Red Fire Palace, from despair to salvation, cried tears of joy.
"It seems that the kid's Blood Bodhi worked wonders, this is great!" The few women who had initially stopped Qin Feng exclaimed excitedly.
At this moment.
Supreme Sect Master Huntian Wu, seeing Qingcheng emerge once more and in very good spirits, couldn't help but frown and stepped forward to ask: "You're not injured?"
"Hmph! I've been waiting for you a long time!"
Qingcheng replied coldly.
Simultaneously.
She thrust her spear into the ground and then her hands began to form Hand Formations.
As she quickly sealed the hand movements.
The flames burning on her body grew more and more intense!
The ground around her also spontaneously ignited.
"Not good!"
One of the elders from the Supreme Sect shouted, "She's setting up the 'Red Fire Sky Formation'; clearly, she has tricked us all here!"
Hearing this.
Huntian Wu's expression also shook, and he immediately yelled to his people behind him: "Retreat——!!!!"
As the words were spoken.
Thirty thousand men quickly retreated like a receding tide.
When Qin Feng came out.
The people from the Supreme Sect had already completely withdrawn.
"What happened?"
This left him utterly perplexed.
The Supreme Sect had pushed all the way here, and with the number and strength vastly overpowering Red Fire Palace, why did they suddenly flee?
Just because Qingcheng showed up?
"Ptui——!"
Qingcheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
She had just been healed by Qin Feng with "Dragon Saliva," and before she had recovered enough to mobilize her inner strength, she forcefully created the handprint for the Red Fire Sky Formation, causing her Dantian's Qi Sea to be unable to withstand.
People hurriedly helped her into the room.
On the other side.
They kept retreating until they reached behind the canyon, receding a good hundred miles before the people from Supreme Sect stopped.
"That was close! We almost fell for that old lady's trick!" one of them gasped for breath.
"Yeah! The Red Fire Sky Formation is no joke; once it's activated, even with god-like powers, we couldn't escape from here."
"But why do I feel like we've been had?" another said with furrowed brows.
"..."
Everyone turned to look at him.
Thoughtfully, he said, "I've heard that the scope of the Red Fire Sky Formation covers the seven peaks around the Red Fire Palace. All of us had already entered and were within the range of the formation. She had no reason not to activate the formation and burn us to death."
As he put it that way, everyone felt there might be some truth to it.
"Could she be trying to scare us?" another person suggested.
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt too embarrassed.
The very thought that men of thirty-seven feet tall were frightened off by a woman was indeed a dent in their dignity.
"Let's go back and fight! I will tear her to pieces!!"
Sect Master Huntianwu shouted angrily.
But he was quickly stopped by the person who had suggested they might have been scared off, who said with a bitter face: "Sect Master, definitely not! We're only speculating that she's bluffing. What if our analysis is wrong? What if she really can activate the Red Fire Sky Formation? Then everything is over!"
"Right, right, be cautious, Sect Master!"
"..."
The others also started advising.
Huntianwu was also in a dilemma, uncertain of what to do.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed!
A man in a black robe appeared before them, knelt on one knee, and said, "Sect Master, I have returned! I have borrowed the Wavewater Jade from White Jade Manor in the Northwest Tian Mountain!"
"Really?! That's great!!"
Huntianwu exclaimed excitedly.
Upon hearing this, everyone else was also overjoyed.
Previously, the Supreme Sect had been researching how to counter the Red Fire Sky Formation and concluded that using the Wavewater Jade of White Jade Manor could suppress it!
Water conquers fire.
Although Red Fire was no ordinary flame, being a form of fire refined from spiritual energy, the water from the Wavewater Jade was also no ordinary water.
It was said to be refined from the water of the Heavenly Mountain Little Heavenly Pond by White Jade Manor.
The water it contained was phenomenal, beyond ordinary water.
Perfect for restraining the Red Fire Sky Formation!
Only, the black-robed person was sent out a long time ago and had not returned, so they felt that White Jade Manor was unwilling to lend it.
Understandably.
Qinling and Northwest Tian Mountain are two different holy lands with little interaction on a regular day. For such a supreme treasure, how could they just lend it to others?
So they gradually began to abandon this idea, instead planning to severely wound Palace Master Qingcheng. As long as Qingcheng was injured, she would not have the power to activate the formation. Formations of the Red Fire Sky Formation's level generally require profound inner strength to initiate.
Unfortunately.
They now had no idea if Qingcheng was injured or not.
"Great! With it, we can surely take down the Red Fire Palace!" Huntianwu said with an excited gaze, "By the way, why did White Jade Manor agree to lend us the Wavewater Jade?"
The man in the black robe replied, "Because they heard we are about to become the top power in Qinling, and the situation in Northwest Tian Mountain has been at a stalemate—to last for a while. So they lent us the jade pendant, hoping that after our success, we can go to Tian Mountain to give them a hand."
"I see!"
Huntianwu nodded and looked up with a laugh, "Anyway, let's take down the Red Fire Palace first! Inform everyone, we start the battle at dawn tomorrow! Tonight, I will study the Wavewater Jade myself!"
"Yes—!!"
Everyone responded to the order.
At this moment.
A bird on the nearby treetop blinked and then, flapping its wings, flew towards the Red Fire Palace...
