Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: Cremation by Spiritual Fire
"Elder Fang, should we inform City Lord Hua about this matter?"
Leng Rui snapped out of his stunned state and asked Fang Bai in a low voice after a moment.
Fang Bai replied with a question, "What do you think?"
Leng Rui thought for a while, hesitated a bit, and then said, "I think... it might be better not to tell."
Fang Bai smiled and asked, "Why?"
Leng Rui said, "Because the more people know, the more complicated things might become, which could lead to more trouble."
Fang Bai laughed, "You’re a smart man! Then, from now on, let’s bury this matter deep in our hearts altogether!"
After speaking, he grabbed the space rings of Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua from the void, then flicked his fingers, and two flames fell onto the corpses of Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua.
The two flames were only the size of fingertips, but once they appeared, the temperature within a hundred-meter radius suddenly rose, and the air seemed about to ignite.
Leng Rui, being a five-layer Thunder Tribulation expert, nevertheless had to form a defense qi shield around himself to resist the impact of the high temperature.
The two flames touched Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua’s bodies, and immediately ignited, turning into two wisps of smoke and dust in just a few breaths before dispersing with the night wind.
On the scene, not a trace of Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua’s aura could be sensed anymore, as if they had never been here.
"Those two flames can release such formidable fire power... Could it be the legendary spiritual fire with supreme might?"
Leng Rui watched Fang Bai put away the two differently colored flames, the surrounding temperature returning to normal, and could not help but be secretly shocked.
Legend says that spiritual fire is the most destructive flame with the greatest power in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, second only to the immortal fire of the Immortal Realm.
When the spiritual fire appears, the land for a thousand miles turns red.
Due to its extreme temperature and destructive power, ordinary martial artists dare not approach, and subduing it is as difficult as reaching for the heavens.
Leng Rui couldn’t imagine how Fang Bai, with only a three-layer Thunder Tribulation cultivation, could have suppressed the spiritual fire and made it his own to use it.
Of course, such questions, if Fang Bai didn’t voluntarily reveal, Leng Rui wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask.
"This disciple thanks Elder Fang for the life-saving grace!"
Leng Rui was ambushed by Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua’s joint attack, saved by Fang Bai, and thus experienced a narrow escape from death. He was immensely grateful to Fang Bai, bowing deeply to show his gratitude.
Fang Bai waved it off and said, "We belong to the same sect, no need for thanks."
He paused, then flicked the space rings taken from Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua toward Leng Rui, saying, "There are quite a lot of cultivation resources inside, take them. This matter is done, I’ll take my leave first!"
"This disciple respectfully sees Elder Fang off!"
Leng Rui caught the space rings that Fang Bai flicked over, watching Fang Bai ride a spiritual artifact to fly into the sky, becoming a streak of light that disappeared.
"This Tong Mengjiao truly deserves to be Tong Shun’s beloved daughter, the cultivation resources stored in her space ring are even far more than Feng Zihua’s!"
Leng Rui withdrew his gaze, and using his divine sense, noticed the huge amount of cultivation resources in the space rings of Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua, more than enough for him for years of cultivation, causing him to be delighted.
"Elder Fang easily slew Tong Mengjiao and Feng Zihua, his combat power is at least equivalent to the sixth layer of Thunder Tribulation. If not seen with my own eyes, it’s hard to believe that he’s so young yet possesses such formidable strength!"
Leng Rui originally respected Fang Bai, but after tonight’s battle, he was in awe and respect.
What made him even happier was that after tonight’s battle, he and Fang Bai now had a bond of fighting side by side.
And with this bond, it would be more convenient for him to ask Fang Bai for spirit pill refinement in the future compared to others.
......
After separating from Leng Rui, Fang Bai did not return to Alchemy Immortal City but went straight to the valley where Hu Yichen’s family used to live.
Fang Bai came to the valley at this moment naturally for the Bluewater Cold Pond.
In the night, the spiritual energy mist over the surface of the Bluewater Cold Pond seemed even denser, almost solid.
The chill released by the spiritual energy was also more terrifying.
A spirit beast rushed out from somewhere, rushing toward the Bluewater Cold Pond, lowering its head, intending to drink the pond water to quench its thirst.
However, just as it touched the pond water with its mouth, an extremely cold and chilling aura quickly spread from its mouth throughout its body.
The strength of that spirit beast was comparable to a human three-layer Thunder Tribulation expert, yet under the enveloping cold aura, it was unable to move, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer of ice covered its body surface.
In the next moment, the spirit beast lost its vitality.
"Crack!"
A gust of night wind blew, followed by the sound of a crack; the ice-sealed spirit beast suddenly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
What seemed to be the ordinary Bluewater Cold Pond had instantly claimed the life of a powerful spirit beast.
"Amazing!"
Fang Bai landed in the valley right after the spirit beast perished.
He slowly advanced, passing by the shattered spirit beast’s body, stopping three feet away from the edge of the Bluewater Cold Pond.
For any other expert of similar realm, standing here would already be unbearable due to the extreme cold and would have to retreat.
Though Fang Bai resisted the encroaching cold due to his strong body, he also felt as if he was in an ice cave, his whole body ice-cold.
Even in the deep night, the water of the Bluewater Cold Pond looked as green as jade, stunningly beautiful.
Fang Bai knew this beautiful-looking pond water was like the gates of hell; if an ordinary Thunder Tribulation expert entered, the result would be like the shattered spirit beast, losing life and even the body.
"Perhaps, by using this pond water, I can further increase my strength."
Fang Bai took a deep breath and stepped forward.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
With each step Fang Bai took forward, the bone-chilling cold intensified, and a layer of frost had formed on his hair and eyebrows.
"Phew!"
Fang Bai took a deep breath and boldly stepped forward with the fourth step.
In this step, one of Fang Bai’s feet stepped into the Bluewater Cold Pond.
The pond water covered Fang Bai’s ankle, and a thin layer of ice began to spread visible to the naked eye from his ankle, seemingly about to freeze his entire leg.
Fang Bai circulated the Water Element Art, and the Water Spirit Qi in his Qi Sea began to flow furiously through his meridians, blood vessels, muscles, bones, and his whole body.
The Water Spirit Qi in Fang Bai’s Qi Sea was purer and more concentrated than the Water Spirit Qi in the Bluewater Cold Pond, yet his Water Spirit Qi flowed like a hot spring, making his body extremely comfortable.
However, the Water Spirit Qi of the Bluewater Cold Pond was so cold and chilling that it was unbearable.
Nevertheless, Fang Bai’s Water Spirit Qi and the Bluewater Cold Pond’s Water Spirit Qi belonged to the same kind, which greatly neutralized the pond water’s coldness.
