With a *huala*.
The Blood Demon threw the flame into the air.
The flame actually stopped mid-air, then split into more than a dozen small flames.
At the same time.
A powerful heatwave struck.
The Miao experts nearby had their hair instantly singed.
The damp earth in the courtyard instantly dried out and cracked.
The might of the Evil Fire was terrifying!
Ji Xueyun, Yan Zhiyun, and the other four women immediately retreated dozens of steps, away from the center of the flames, and the scorching sensation subsided considerably.
But everyone kept their eyes fixed on the center, daring not to be careless.
The Blood Demon was very pleased.
He grinned, and the dozen or so flames circled for a moment, forming a long dragon of fire that lunged towards Bai Zihe with the power to destroy everything.
"Little Junior Brother, be careful!"
Yan Zhiyun couldn't help but remind him.
Bai Zihe stood there, showing no intention of dodging.
This made the women's hearts leap into their throats.
The Blood Demon's lips curled into a ferocious grin.
"Is he scared senseless?"
But what Bai Zihe did next left everyone present stunned.
He suddenly turned towards the dozen or so high-speed approaching flames, opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath.
*Hiss—*
All the flames were sucked into his mouth, without exception.
What kind of move was this?
Everyone was so shocked that for a moment they forgot to blink, forgot to breathe, forgot everything!
"Arrogant!"
The Blood Demon was the first to react after the initial shock.
He stared at Bai Zihe with amusement, and taunted, "Bai Zihe, should I call you overconfident, or foolish?"
"This Evil Fire..."
"Comes from the depths of an ancient tomb and has existed for over a hundred years, never diminishing."
"When I first discovered it, it burned two Grandmaster-level elders of my Bloodthirsty Sect to death before I managed to secure it."
"After so many years, I can barely wield it."
"And you swallow it into your belly..."
He paused briefly, then shook his head and sighed.
He looked at Bai Zihe as if he were looking at someone about to die, filled with pity.
"In a moment, you will be burned to ashes by it, and disappear from this world, leaving not a trace of your bones!"
"Not only that..."
"Even after you die, your three souls and seven spirits will suffer the torment of being burned day and night."
"Hahaha—"
He burst into laughter.
Laughing heartily, laughing wildly.
When Ji Xueyun, Yan Zhiyun, and the others heard this, they immediately became nervous.
Bai Zihe, however, gave a mysterious smile, "Is it that serious? I don't quite believe it..."
"I feel like this thing is quite tasty."
"Burp—"
As he spoke, he let out a long burp.
The five women were bewildered, but the Blood Demon's face changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft—"
"You, you..."
His face turned pale with rage and shock, pointing at Bai Zihe, "You actually devoured the essence of the Evil Fire, this, this, this..."
Indeed.
The flames had been refined by the Blood Demon and were inextricably linked to him.
When Bai Zihe had just swallowed its essence, the Blood Demon was naturally instantly heavily injured.
Bai Zihe chuckled, his words driving the Blood Demon to madness, "Is there any more? I must say, it's quite fragrant to eat."
Quite fragrant?
Does he think this is a delicacy?
The Blood Demon was so angry that his face turned green.
He had lost his Evil Fire and was being mocked by Bai Zihe like this, and he could no longer bear it. He stomped on the ground with both legs and leaped into the air, attacking Bai Zihe like Mount Tai pressing down.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
The aura of a Grandmaster was fully released, resolute and determined.
When a Grandmaster is enraged, the earth shakes and the mountains tremble!
The entire courtyard was swept by a strong wind, carrying wisps of foul air, rushing towards Bai Zihe.
"Fight?"
"Do you even qualify?"
Bai Zihe's cold eyes flashed with mockery.
The next moment, facing the Blood Demon, who was approaching with boundless momentum and was now right in front of him, he gently exhaled.
Everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what he intended to do.
Only the Blood Demon.
He felt the chilling killing intent in that breath and his face changed drastically.
As expected, after the breath was expelled, it suddenly condensed into a small sword qi and shot towards the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon dared not be careless.
He gathered all his inner energy and channeled it into his hands, smashing towards this seemingly light and floating sword qi.
But the next second, his palm was easily pierced by the sword qi.
The sword qi, without losing any speed, shattered the Blood Demon's heart.
Instantly, his chest exploded.
The Blood Demon crashed to the ground, gasping out a few words with difficulty, "Exhaling to form a sword, you are... a high-level Grandmaster—"
With that, he died on the spot.
Silence.
The entire Su family courtyard was deathly silent, not a single sound.
Su Keduo had never imagined.
That Bai Zihe was so powerful, that even the Blood Demon was no match for him, and he had called him a high-level Grandmaster.
Now, Su Keduo was starting to get restless.
The methods of a high-level Grandmaster were probably not much different from the Evil King, making it easy for him to wish for death but unable to die.
Su Keduo's eyes flickered as he began to consider his options.
"Su Keduo."
Bai Zihe's gaze was sharp as he looked directly at him, his expression indifferent, "Will anyone come to save you this time?"
Su Keduo's face turned cold.
Even the Blood Demon was dead, and even if someone came to save him, they would likely be the ones sent to their deaths.
"I'll give you another chance."
"Think carefully before you answer."
If possible, Bai Zihe still wanted to know information about the Gu King.
Killing Su Keduo would be of no benefit to him.
Su Keduo pondered for a moment, then finally spoke, "Bai Zihe, whether you believe me or not, I must say, I do not know where the Gu King is."
Seeing his defiance, Bai Zihe's face instantly darkened.
Su Keduo quickly added, "But the Evil King knows."
"The Evil King definitely knows where the Gu King is!"
The Evil King?
Bai Zihe narrowed his eyes.
Su Keduo explained, "In fact, the Evil King had already taken control of the Gu King long ago. He is the true ruler of Miao Jiang now."
"Only he knows the whereabouts of the Gu King."
Hearing him say this, Bai Zihe believed him to some extent, and thus asked, "Where is the Evil King?"
Su Keduo dared not hide anything and quickly replied, "In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in Tongtian Tower, which is the tallest and most magnificent pavilion."
Hundred Thousand Mountains, Tongtian Tower.
Bai Zihe got his answer and walked out with the five women.
At the doorway, Bai Zihe paused slightly and said indifferently, "I hope you haven't lied to me."
"Otherwise..."
"You will die a terrible death."
With that, he led the group out of the Su family to make further arrangements.
In the courtyard, Su Keduo was already sweating profusely.
This experience of repeatedly dancing on the brink of death was too terrifying.
But before Su Keduo could breathe a sigh of relief.
A dark figure appeared behind him like a ghost, raised the dagger in his hand, and without hesitation, plunged it into Su Keduo's back.
Blood gushed out.
Su Keduo slowly fell to the ground.
As his fading pupils saw the assailant, his mouth opened, but he could not say anything before he died.
The dark figure kicked his corpse.
"Those who betray the Evil King die!"
