Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2271: Demon Crystal and Demon Flame

Chapter 2271: Chapter 2271: Demon Crystal and Demon Flame

"Six-four split? Us six, you four? In that case... we might consider it..."

Fang Bai stroked his chin, pondering.

The immortal was momentarily stunned, then smiled wryly, "Immortal friend, you said it backwards..."

Fang Bai said with a sudden realization, "Oh... so in that case, we can’t reach an agreement and will just have to go our separate ways!"

The immortal saw that Fang Bai had no intention of collaborating with them, showing a trace of regret in his expression, and sighed, "In that case... farewell!"

He waved his hand, leading the four immortals by his side past Fang Bai and into the Demon Flame Crystal Sea ahead.

"Six-four split... actually, they got a great deal! How could they pass up such a good thing?"

Fang Bai murmured, watching the backs of the immortal team.

Qingyun Immortal Venerable nodded in agreement, "Those immortals... a bit foolish!"

In Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s view, Fang Bai’s combat power was comparable to a Fourth Grade Immortal King Realm expert, aided by a Single-Horned Dragon Horse of similar strength. Such a combination was countless times stronger than that team of immortals. In the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, they wouldn’t say invincible, but obtaining some cultivation resources should be easy. If those five immortals had agreed, it would have been a bargain for them.

While talking, more groups of immortals flew over the deep rift, charging into the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, their figures vanishing swiftly.

"Let’s go!"

Fang Bai said softly, his figure turning into a stream of light, skimming the ground as he sped forward.

Qingyun Immortal Venerable hurried to follow closely behind him.

The Demon Flame Crystal Sea stretched a hundred thousand miles, the sky a murky yellow, black soil covering the ground, the air filled with a sharp, bloody smell. The intense oppressive air seemed to have a life of its own, surging towards any immortal entering the Demon Flame Crystal Sea, trying to penetrate the defense qi shield their bodies formed and invade them.

However, all immortals coming to train in the Demon Flame Crystal Sea knew the dangers within, remaining on high alert, making it difficult for the evil qi to confuse their minds successfully.

Low success doesn’t mean none.

Fang Bai and Qingyun Immortal Venerable had barely entered a hundred miles into the Demon Flame Crystal Sea when they heard a harsh and terrifying shout. Looking intently, it was a Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm immortal with evil qi entering his body, losing self-awareness, trapped in a terrifying illusion, wildly swinging a blade-shaped immortal artifact at the void in a frenzy.

The other immortals accompanying him had already distanced themselves, watching their deranged companion from afar with remorseful shakes of their heads, though one tried to gather immortal qi and shouted, hoping to wake him from the illusion, but it was all in vain.

"That immortal is done for..."

As soon as Fang Bai’s words fell, the immortal shouted, "Ah," and with a backward slash, cut his neck, body and head separating, blood gushing like a spring, ending his life.

"This evil qi is so formidable!"

It took only a dozen breaths from the time that immortal fell into the illusion until his demise. It was Qingyun Immortal Venerable’s first time witnessing such a situation, inducing some fear in him, reminding him to be extremely cautious, knowing that immortal’s cultivation level was similar to his own.

Yet, other immortals seemed accustomed to such events, showing more regret than fear on their faces.

"Did you see that? That is a demon crystal."

After traveling several more miles, Fang Bai pointed to a black column and said to Qingyun Immortal Venerable.

The black column was made up of fist-sized black crystals stacked together, almost as if it had grown from the ground. Each one was about a foot high, emitting wisps of qi that contained not only evil qi but also immortal qi.

And around the black column were flickering yellowish flames, shifting uncertainly like Nether flames.

"That is the demon flame. It may not look threatening, but when you come into contact with it, you’ll understand its danger! So, stay by my side and don’t randomly snatch demon crystals!"

Fang Bai said solemnly.

"Understood."

Even someone as strong as Fang Bai considered it dangerous, so Qingyun Immortal Venerable wouldn’t dare risk snatching demon crystals.

Immortals may live for thousands of years, but life is singular, and he didn’t want to gamble with his own life.

Additionally, his sister Qingfeng Fairy’s whereabouts and condition were unknown. Having come here with great difficulty, he was determined to find her alive or recover her remains.

As they traveled further, the sight of demon crystals increased, as did the groups of immortals circling the columns, contemplating how to avoid the terrifying demon flames and obtain the crystals.

Fang Bai’s primary purpose in bringing Qingyun Immortal Venerable was to help him find his sister rather than seeking opportunities.

So, although they saw demon crystals along the way, within easy reach, they didn’t stop.

In the hundred-thousand-mile Demon Flame Crystal Sea, flying was restricted, and Divine Sense was limited. Searching for an immortal was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Nevertheless, Fang Bai and Qingyun Immortal Venerable tried to extend their Divine Sense to detect possible information.

"Ah!"

As they passed through a stone forest made of demon crystals, a scream echoed.

Qingyun Immortal Venerable turned to see a First Grade Immortal King Realm expert, eager to snatch a demon crystal, flashing like lightning, darting through several clusters of demon flames, reaching a demon crystal column, and striking it with a "snap," shattering the column, intending to store it in his Space Immortal Ring.

Just then, a cluster of demon flames moved with no wind, silently drifting to his side, easily breaking through his immortal domain’s defense and landing on his left arm.

The First Grade Immortal King Realm expert, with a body too strong for ordinary immortal artifacts to harm, saw his left arm corrode quickly, smoke rising with a sizzle, exposing eerie white bones in the blink of an eye.

Realizing that if he didn’t sever his left arm in time, the demon flame would consume his entire body, turning him into bones.

He no longer cared about the demon crystal on the ground, gritted his teeth, wielded his sword, and severed his arm at the shoulder, fleeing far away, not daring to approach the demon crystal column again.

The damage the demon flame inflicted on immortals was severe. After losing an arm, the First Grade Immortal King Realm expert found that consuming a normal Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill was unlikely to regenerate the limb. Even if regenerated, recovering his original battle strength would take a long time.

Failing to obtain a demon crystal and losing an arm, the trip was indeed a loss for the First Grade Immortal King Realm expert.
