The purple fire flickered and emitted a dazzling light.
The farther down you go, the brighter the color of the flame becomes. Eventually, the surrounding flames become purple-black.
The color of the flame continued to deepen, and the surrounding temperature also began to rise at an extremely fast speed. In the end, the surrounding temperature was like an oven, causing Ye Feng's sweat to be completely evaporated before it even flowed out.
After diving for about half an hour, Ye Feng and Hei Lu arrived at an area less than a hundred meters from the bottom of the cave.
Before falling below, the two of them heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from below.
Due to the barrier of the flames, Ye Feng could not judge the number of fighters, but after hearing the sounds of gold and iron, Ye Feng's expression still froze.
"Quick, let's go down." Ye Feng shouted softly.
Seeing Ye Feng about to enter the bottom of the cave, a hint of fear flashed in Hei Lu's eyes.
"Boss, can you not let me go down?" Heilu said tremblingly.
Facing Heilu's request, Ye Feng shook his head firmly.
He gently touched the transformed arm guard of the Thousand Miles Ice Sword on his left hand and said firmly: "No!"
Ye Feng shook his palm, and released a ball of suction from his palm, firmly restraining Hei Lu's body.
He pulled Heilu and dived quickly, and soon arrived at an area less than ten meters away from the sound of fighting.
Through the purple-black flames, Ye Feng could already clearly see the situation on the ground.
He was surprised to find that at this moment, the people fighting below were actually Chen Nanzhu and Huo Mei, whom he had seen the illusion before.
The fire charm, whose body was completely covered in flames, was like an elf in the flames, exuding overwhelming arrogance.
As she moved her hands and feet, masses of dark brown energy continued to spurt out from her palms.
This energy is not flame energy, but it contains pressure that is not inferior to the strength of a ninth-level sword king.
Every time she waved her palm, the surrounding flames would be suppressed by this force and lowered by half a foot, making a beeping sound.
With Chen Nanzhu's strength, she shouldn't be Huo Mei's opponent, but at this moment she holds a lotus-shaped weapon in her hand that is as big as a basin.
This lotus-shaped weapon is born with strange energy.
Whenever he encounters the wind from Huo Mei's palm, a cyan shield will be released, surrounding Chen Nanzhu.
The sound of banging was endless, and dark-brown energy continued to pour on Chen Nanzhu's body like a dense shower.
Even though Huo Mei used all her power with each palm, Chen Nanzhu was unable to do anything against Chen Nanzhu who was protected by the cyan light shield. With every blow, he could only watch helplessly as the cyan shield blocked all its power and resolved it one by one.
The longer the fight went on, the more violent the fire charm became.
From time to time, she looked back at the spacious cave at the bottom of the cave and let out strange screams.
Suddenly, Huo Mei clasped her palms together, and a bright silver-white light beam shot out from the opposite palms.
As soon as this beam of light appeared, the surrounding flames were instantly suppressed to a height of less than half a meter.
When the flames were squeezed close to the surface by strong pressure, a silver-white lightsaber that was three meters long appeared in the center where Huo Mei's palms met.
There was a soft "hoo" sound, and the long sword in Huo Mei's hand struck the defensive light shield on Chen Nanzhu's body.
Countless ripples rippled across the surface of the solid mask, and the ripples continued to twist and expand rapidly. In the end, the entire mask was deflated by the silver-white lightsaber.
There was a muffled sound, and the light shield surrounding Chen Nanzhu's body shattered under the squeeze of force.
At the moment when the mask shattered, Chen Nanzhu's body flew out diagonally, until it hit the cliff, and then stopped.
A deep crater with a diameter of two meters and a depth of half a meter appeared on the cliff where Chen Nanzhu hit it.
Chen Nanzhu's body fell heavily to the ground, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from under his face covered with black gauze.
"Sword of light? This fire charm is actually a non-living substance transformed by the essence of light?" Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed as he looked at the long sword with dazzling light in the hand of the fire charm.
He knew about the Sword of Light when he accidentally heard Xiao Bai mention it during a conversation with Xiao Bai.
According to Xiao Bai, when he was traveling in the outside world, he once encountered a sword cultivator holding a sword of light.
With Xiao Bai's strength, which was close to that of the Sword Sect at that time, he was defeated without resisting even one of the opponent's moves.
The sword cultivator who mastered the Sword of Light cultivated the sword intention of Aurora. With the strength of the ninth-level sword emperor, he successfully condensed his own original sword through the sword intention he understood.
According to Xiao Bai, the sword cultivator who practices Aurora Sword Intent is definitely the strongest opponent he has ever encountered in his life.
If Xiao Bai hadn't acted according to the opportunity and jumped off the cliff without hesitation after his defeat, he would have been killed by the sword cultivator on the spot.
The silver light sword used by Huo Mei is very similar to the original sword of Aurora Sword Intent described by Xiao Bai.
It was through this long sword that Ye Feng suddenly understood what kind of material the fire charm was transformed from.
A sword cultivator who masters the Aurora Sword Intent will become extremely powerful, not to mention the spirits transformed by the essence of light.
No wonder Hei Lu said that a ninth-level sword king once died in the hands of Huo Ba. The female Huo Mei was so powerful, and the male Huo Ba was naturally stronger.
Chen Nanzhu was injured, but Ye Feng did not have any thoughts of treating her.
On the one hand, he still had a grudge against the Mirror Sword Sect in his heart. On the other hand, he did not believe that Chen Nanzhu would completely lose his ability to resist under a powerful attack by Huo Mei with only such means.
After glancing coldly at Chen Nanzhu who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, Ye Feng turned his head and looked at the particularly wide cave behind Huo Mei, which became hazy under the firelight.
Ye Feng's intuition told him that the cave was by no means simple. It should be the lair of the Flame King and the area where the fire in the center of the earth is stored.
Thinking of how Huo Mei always looked towards the cave during the battle, Ye Feng guessed that it was very likely that Huang Liang had entered the cave first.
After pondering for a while, Ye Feng winked at Hei Lu, quickly walked around behind Huo Mei, and slipped towards the entrance of the cave.
Just when he and Hei Lu were about to enter the cave, behind them, Huo Mei and Chen Nanzhu fought again.
Chen Nanzhu stood up from the ground, brandishing a lotus-shaped weapon, and rushed towards Huo Mei.
In the process of charging forward, the surface of the lotus-shaped weapon bloomed with cold light, forming needles that were sharper than the edge of a sword.
"Poof", the lotus-shaped zhenqi stabbed Huo Mei's body.
Just like when Ning Tao hit Hei Lu, the sword energy released by Chen Nanzhu failed to hurt Huo Mei's body. Instead, it only stayed on Huo Mei's torso for a moment before flying out through her body.
Chen Nanzhu, who was not in a hurry, staggered and fell forward. The moment her body appeared empty, the sword in Huo Mei's hand stabbed her chest hard.
With a "pop" sound, the Aurora sword penetrated Chen Nanzhu's chest.
Chen Nanzhu raised his head and looked at Huo Mei in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.
After Huo Mei pierced Chen Nanzhu's body with the Aurora sword, she didn't stop there. Instead, she waved her hand and grabbed Chen Nanzhu's face.
With a hissing sound, the veil on Chen Nanzhu's face was taken off.
Just after Chen Nanzhu's face was revealed in Huo Mei's eyes, Huo Mei let out bursts of shrill howls.
The howl of Huo Mei alarmed Ye Feng.
Looking back, his eyes focused on Chen Nanzhu's face, and Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed.
The woman wearing Chen Nanzhu's clothes and the black veil that Chen Nanzhu often used was actually not Chen Nanzhu, but Lian Qiao.
At this moment, Lian Qiao looked at Huo Mei, who was shouting crazily after realizing that she had been fooled. There was no fear in her eyes, but a look of indifference as if she was dead.
"It's too late. If I guessed correctly, the young lady and Huang Liang have already entered the bottom of the cave and started to take away the Earth's Core Fire. You never would have thought that the young lady who competed with you a few hours ago has already entered the cave just now.
We have entered the underground cave without anyone noticing." Lian Qiao said proudly, holding back the pain in her chest.
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Mei raised her palm again and hit Lian Qiao's head hard.
With this blow, Huo Mei struck out with hatred and used all her strength.
If her palms were struck hard, even the King of Heaven would not be able to save Lian Qiao.
Seeing Lian Qiao on the verge of despair, Ye Feng's heart suddenly trembled.
He could watch Chen Nanzhu die and remain indifferent, but he could not watch Lian Qiao, an innocent and kind-hearted little maid, die.
"Stop!" Ye Feng roared.
While shouting, he waved his left arm, activating the Thousand Miles Ice Sword and releasing super powerful sword energy.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the Qianli Frozen Sword was blocked by Huo Mei's palm in time.
When Huo Mei's palm collided with the Thousand Miles Frozen Sword, Ye Feng felt a huge force coming and his arms trembled, which prevented the Thousand Miles Frozen Sword from flying out.
Facing the glaring Huo Mei, Ye Feng showed a scornful smile on his face.
He stood in front of Lian Qiao with his sword and said coldly: "If you want to kill someone, you must get through me first!"
"Ouch..." Ye Feng suddenly stepped in, and Huo Mei's temper was completely ignited.
She opened her blue eyes and stared at Ye Feng fiercely. The Aurora Sword in her hand struck hard at Ye Feng's head.
In the void, the silver-white lightsaber turned into a silver waterfall with a width of more than ten meters.
Realizing that the Aurora Sword was swung away and the entire void was imprisoned, Ye Feng's expression became serious.
Just like Xiao Bai regards sword cultivators who practice Aurora Sword Intention as his lifelong enemy, at this moment, Ye Feng also regards Huo Mei as his life's greatest enemy.
Facing the lightsaber slashing down above his head, Ye Feng's heart surged with boundless pride.
He raised his sword and stabbed it boldly towards the sword light waterfall above his head.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the Thousand Miles Frozen Sword stabbed into the center of the silver light waterfall.
That is, at the moment when the sword edge plunged into the light waterfall, the falling light waterfall suddenly rolled up. When Ye Feng was unprepared, the Thousand Miles Frozen Sword flew out of his hand and flew into the mid-air.
"Go to hell, you despicable invaders who are plotting against the Fire in the Earth's Core." Huo Mei roared after knocking the sword out of Ye Feng's hand.
She didn't give Ye Feng a chance to breathe, and slashed hard at Ye Feng's skull with the Aurora Sword in her hand.
Behind Ye Feng, Lian Qiao, who was holding her chest, saw the long sword slashing down and let out bursts of exclamations.
She struggled hard, trying to help Ye Feng resist, but she was still unable to stand up because of her severe injuries.
Opposite Lian Qiao, Hei Lu, who was shrinking when he saw Huo Mei, wanted to kill Ye Feng with his sword. A strange smile appeared on his face transformed by mist.
From the bottom of his heart, he wished that Ye Feng would die. Seeing that Ye Feng had no way to escape and was bound to die, he almost felt happy in his heart.
