Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Golden Flame Sacred Fire
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi glanced at the nearby demon hunting team and frowned.
"One at the Sixth Layer of the Saint King Realm, two at the Fifth Layer of the Saint King Realm, plus a group from the Heavenly Extreme Realm."
"They dare provoke the Golden Flame Holy Python?"
Xiao Yi muttered to himself, shook his head, and waved his hand.
The demon hunting team hadn’t yet reacted, but they were already flung out of the flame barrier.
Outside the barrier, the group of Demon Hunters looked horrified.
"This person is incredibly powerful, able to fling our Holy Blade Demon Hunting Team out of the barrier without any resistance?"
A few Demon Hunters expressed their shock.
"However, the Golden Flame Holy Python is a peak demon beast of the Saint King Realm, can he handle it alone?"
"We might as well stay inside and slay it together."
The middle-aged man shook his head upon hearing this, "This Purple Flame Yi Xiao is a martial artist who rose to fame in our Four-direction Domain half a year ago."
"Since his rise to fame, he has never been defeated."
"There’s even a rumor that he has ventured through all the dangerous places and all the demon beast forests in the Four-direction Domain."
"In just half a year, he has completed almost all the top tasks and high-reward missions from the Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, and Medicine Venerate Hall, the Three Halls."
"His strength is far beyond our imagination."
"As for slaying it together?" The middle-aged man sneered, "Since this Purple Flame Yi Xiao became famous, he has always been solitary, and no one can partner with him."
"Why?" asked a nearby Demon Hunter.
"I don’t know." The middle-aged man shook his head, "Perhaps it’s his nature to be solitary."
"Or maybe, the dangerous places he ventures into are extremely perilous, and no one can accompany him."
...
Inside the barrier.
Xiao Yi coldly watched the giant creature in front of him.
Boom... A surge of purple flames gathered in his hand.
The Golden Flame Holy Python’s huge head, with its cold snake eyes, showed a hint of fear as it looked at the purple flames.
It couldn’t remember how many times it had been defeated under these purple flames, or how many times it had escaped with severe injuries.
Thud... The massive snake tail slammed heavily on the ground.
The enormous body suddenly lunged at Xiao Yi.
Though feeling afraid, it ultimately was a demon beast, full of ferocity.
Bang... The giant snake tail came crashing down.
Xiao Yi punched out.
Boom... A loud explosion sounded.
Xiao Yi was directly sent flying several steps back, looking at his arm, there was a noticeable white mark, extremely conspicuous.
The strength of the Golden Flame Holy Python was indeed immense.
Roar... A surge of golden flames erupted forth.
This time, Xiao Yi neither dodged nor evaded.
In an instant, the golden flames engulfed Xiao Yi.
With Xiao Yi at the center, the surrounding ground was all turned into scorched earth under the high-temperature flames.
The cold eyes of the Golden Flame Holy Python revealed a trace of pride.
However, this trace of pride quickly turned into terror.
Because the golden flames suddenly dissipated, revealing Xiao Yi intact inside.
"The power of the Golden Flame Sacred Fire is indeed impressive," Xiao Yi sneered coldly.
Whoosh... The Golden Flame Holy Python suddenly lost its will to fight, turned around, and fled.
The greatest power of the Golden Flame Holy Python came from its enormous strength and its control over terrifying flames.
But these two methods were utterly ineffective against Xiao Yi.
Naturally, it lost its will to fight.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "I thought I could practice some moves, but never mind."
Whoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure suddenly disappeared from his spot.
Ahead, the Golden Flame Holy Python was fleeing at a very high speed.
However, the surrounding area was already enveloped by a flame barrier, so Xiao Yi wasn’t worried.
Xiao Yi’s fingertips gathered, and a stream of purple flame breath shot out abruptly.
Bang... The purple flame breath penetrated directly through the body of the Golden Flame Holy Python and then heavily slammed onto the ground, causing a loud explosion.
The enormous body of the Golden Flame Holy Python collapsed onto the ground.
Xiao Yi instantly caught up, standing coldly before the massive head, "Vile creature, this time you won’t escape."
Hiss... The Golden Flame Holy Python flicked its golden tongue as its gigantic head lunged at Xiao Yi.
Compared to the towering body of the Golden Flame Holy Python, Xiao Yi’s small stature was negligible.
Xiao Yi neither dodged nor evaded.
In the eyes of the Golden Flame Holy Python, there was a cold glint, confident that if it could swallow this human being before it into its belly, the golden flames within would surely incinerate this human into charcoal.
"Humph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.
Just as the giant head was about to devour him, his hand moved.
"Furious Flame... Finger." Xiao Yi shouted coldly, his figure moving at the same instant.
His body and hands moved like a series of phantoms, mysteriously.
A breath later, the phantoms all dissipated.
Only the fingertip remained, pressed against the massive head of the Golden Flame Holy Python.
With just this seemingly gentle press, the entire Golden Flame Holy Python instantly froze.
Xiao Yi indifferently withdrew his fingertip.
As his fingertip withdrew, the massive body of the Golden Flame Holy Python flickered with flame lights.
The lights, either purple and profound, green and fierce, or golden and violent...
Over eighty beams of flame lights erupted on the Golden Flame Holy Python’s body.
Beams of light burst from within, like flaming swords piercing through its body.
With the disappearance of the lights, the enormous body of the Golden Flame Holy Python collapsed with no sign of life left.
"Hoo." Xiao Yi lightly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face then filled with joy.
"Absorb." Xiao Yi walked to the front of the Golden Flame Holy Python’s corpse, waved his big hand.
Streams of golden blood surged forth from the body, then were quickly absorbed by Xiao Yi.
He had chased this Golden Flame Holy Python across eighteen dangerous places, all for this golden blood.
The Golden Flame Holy Python, ranked among the peak demon beasts of the Saint King Realm, was also an extremely rare creature.
As for Xiao Yi, he had roamed the Four-direction Domain for half a year, traversed countless perilous places, and had only encountered one Golden Flame Holy Python—this one before him.
The strength of the Golden Flame Holy Python resided in this golden blood.
Or more accurately, it came from the Golden Flames.
The Golden Flames were originally an extremely fierce fire; yet, they were controlled by the Golden Flame Holy Python of demon beasts.
It must be known that pythons are cold-blooded demon beasts, their entire being frigid, with a temperament equally cold.
Heat and cold, two entirely distinct breaths and attributes appeared in one demon beast.
It was this cold attribute that harmonized the fierce attribute of the Golden Flames.
Under the combination of both, a new flame was born, called the Golden Flame Sacred Fire.
Both the Golden Flames and the Golden Flame Sacred Fire are considered first-class flames, and extremely rare.
The Golden Flames are even hailed as the strongest among first-class flames, with exceptionally fierce power.
As for the Golden Flame Sacred Fire...
An hour later, after Xiao Yi had absorbed all the golden blood.
The Fire Control Beast Martial Soul within him noticeably gained new power.
Boom... A surge of golden flames gathered in Xiao Yi’s hand.
The flame, extremely calm, was extremely quiet.
Xiao Yi gently gathered a stream of sword qi, slashing his arm to create a wound.
Blood flowed immediately from his arm.
"Go." At this time, Xiao Yi uttered in a low voice, and the golden flame covered the wound on his arm.
Whoosh... Almost the instant the golden flame swept over, the wound healed instantly.
