Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1586: Desolate Bone Gray Flame

Boom...

A ring of flames smashed heavily towards the enormous Fire Crow.

The instant the two touched, an earth-shattering explosion erupted.

The entire cave shook violently, as if the mountains were collapsing.

Both were formed of flames.

But the outcome of their fight was hard to foresee.

The blinding firelight almost instantly enveloped the entire cave.

Except for a few, almost no one could open their eyes under this scorching aura.

Only three pairs of eyes saw the outcome.

The Fire Teeth Sect Master, the elder, and Xiao Yi.

However, their expressions were different.

"To actually hold a tie with the Supreme Elder?" The Fire Teeth Sect Master showed a look of surprise.

"A tie?" The elder squinted his eyes.

"A tie?" Xiao Yi’s tone was slightly indifferent, as if he had expected it.

Indeed, the flame ring and the enormous Fire Crow were extinguished in a draw.

Seconds later, the blinding firelight vanished.

The martial artists and surrounding evil cultivators regained their sight.

At the high point of the cave wall, a massive hole had appeared, with light shining through from outside.

"Look, it’s the exit."

"Hurry, escape."

The martial artists instantly noticed the massive hole and hurriedly flew away controlling the air.

They had never intended to battle with these evil cultivators.

Getting involved in this fight was never their wish.

Naturally, with a huge gap blasted open in the cave wall, the martial artists swarmed to escape.

"Trying to escape?" The Fire Teeth Sect Master’s face turned cold.

Just as he was about to act, a cold aura locked onto him.

It was Xiao Yi who had locked onto him.

Xiao Yi’s cold gaze swept over the elder, the Fire Teeth Sect Master, and the remaining dozen or so evil cultivation elders.

The Fire Teeth Sect Master and the dozen or so evil cultivation elders immediately halted their actions.

"Chase them." The Fire Teeth Sect Master had no choice but to shout coldly.

The thousands of evil cultivators within the cave leaped into the air.

Xiao Yi glanced over but did not intervene to stop them.

Just as he locked onto the Fire Teeth Sect Master and others, he was also locked onto by their aura.

If either side struck first, it would be devastating for those ordinary martial artists.

If the Fire Teeth Sect Master and others took action, the thousands of martial artists would almost certainly be annihilated instantly.

Similarly, if Xiao Yi acted, those thousands of evil cultivators might not last long before being completely wiped out.

Neither side moved, not even the elder with 9993 arts.

At the moment the flame ring and the enormous Fire Crow dispersed at a tie, he already regarded Xiao Yi as an opponent on the same level.

Ten seconds later.

Once the last evil cultivator and Fire Teeth Territory martial artist exited through the huge hole in the cave wall, both parties’ auras erupted in an instant.

The elder’s withered but strong palm struck directly at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained fearless, the Star Illusion Gloves on his hand flashing with light, surrounded by five-colored flames, and punched out.

The Fire Teeth Sect Master and the dozen or so evil cultivation elders quickly flew towards the giant hole in the cave wall.

"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

At the cave wall, several towering flames converged, forcibly blocking the Fire Teeth Sect Master and others.

"Daring to be distracted while fighting me? Courting death." The elder sneered coldly, sending down a palm strike.

Xiao Yi hurriedly withdrew his hand, opening his fist to form a palm strike instead.

In his palm, the five-colored flames converged.

Clap... Clap...

The two palms clashed, each retreating over a dozen steps.

The series of actions unfolded almost instantaneously.

But the result was that neither could overpower the other.

"Desolate Bone Gray Flame." Suddenly, the elder blasted out with a palm, and an illusion formed behind him.

The illusion was an inexplicable skeleton radiating an ancient, awe-inspiring aura.

The elder’s palm blasted forward, and from within the illusion emerged a massive skeletal arm.

The skeletal giant hand was enveloped by a gray flame.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s face showed surprise; he immediately sensed a deadly threat from the skeletal giant hand.

"Furious Flame Finger." Xiao Yi pointed with a finger.

In front of the massive skeletal hand, Xiao Yi’s figure looked extremely small.

The skeletal hand could probably crush Xiao Yi with a simple grip.

But Xiao Yi’s seemingly ordinary point forcibly blocked the skeletal hand.

The gray flame within the skeletal hand contended endlessly with the wisp of fire at Xiao Yi’s fingertip.

Xiao Yi had heard of the Desolate Bone Gray Flame but did not know much about it.

This was a flame of the Evil Dao, a flame formed from bones, embodying the Dao, and condensing its aura.

To condense such a flame required extremely high proficiency from a martial artist.

Apart from having cultivation at least at the Supreme Level, mastering fire control techniques with an evil object as a medium was necessary to condense this flame.

Overall, even Xiao Yi was not very knowledgeable about this flame.

However, during the last month of eradicating evil cultivators and researching secret archives in the Asura Hall, he had learned a bit.

This flame of the Evil Dao was exceptionally strange yet extraordinarily powerful.

Of course, the fire at Xiao Yi’s fingertip was no ordinary flame either.

It was an attack powered by the fusion of thousands of Flame Martial Ways, representing Xiao Yi’s strongest Fire Control Skill attack at present.

The two remained at a stalemate.

But it was clear that neither was relaxed.

The elder, maintaining the illusion behind him, gradually turned pale.

And Xiao Yi, though wearing a mask which obscured his face, sweat droplets quietly formed on his forehead.

"Fire Teeth, go after those martial artists. Do not let a single one escape." The elder coldly ordered.

"Understood." The Fire Teeth Sect Master and the dozen or so evil cultivation elders rose into the air at once.

Xiao Yi squinted.

"Break."

Xiao Yi uttered lowly, forcibly stepping forward, and his fingertip trembled.

"Forcing through the Ancient Desolate Flames?" The elder’s face shifted slightly.

Boom... An explosive sound.

Xiao Yi’s fingertip instantly shattered the skeletal hand; the elder’s illusion behind him instantly dissipated, his face turned white, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Yi likewise suffered an internal backlash from his Primordial Power, a mouthful of blood spilling forth.

Ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yi flashed and chased out through the giant hole.

If he let the Fire Teeth Sect Master and others act wantonly, the thousands of ordinary martial artists would inevitably face massacre.

The elder didn’t pause for a second, his form flickering, directly pursuing Xiao Yi.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Two figures flew out from the giant hole.

It was Xiao Yi and that elder.

Xiao Yi glanced at the sky, suddenly realizing.

Outside was the top of the massive mountain of the Fire Teeth Sect.

Earlier, the cave must have been within the belly of the mountain.

The Fire Teeth Sect had indeed schemed well.

The sect was situated atop a mountain; yet, they had carved out the mountain’s interior, turning it into a clandestine branch for the evil cultivators.

No wonder, after all these years, no one had discovered that this was an evil cultivation branch.

"Boy, you can’t save them." The elder sneered coldly, not rushing to strike after flying out.

He indeed did not need to hurry.

This was the Fire Teeth Sect’s territory.

And the thousands of martial artists who had flown out earlier had not managed to leave the Fire Teeth Sect.

The entire Fire Teeth Mountain had long been shrouded by the vast Fire Crow Formation.

"You cannot break the Great Formation of my Fire Teeth Sect." The elder sneered.

Xiao Yi’s eyes were icy, his tone unchanged, "If I kill all of you, the formation will naturally break."

"Arrogant." The elder snorted coldly, striking once more.
