Inside the sword disk.

Chi Lian stared at me with sincere eyes and asked, "Why are you all looking at me? Is there something wrong with my mortal fire?"

"Uh... no problem."

Everyone quickly looked away.

It’s not that they were making a fuss, but they didn’t expect that someone as weak as Chi Lian could actually appear in the sword-fighting conference!

Jiang Deng was much calmer than the others and praised sincerely: "No problem, it's just that your fire is quite special."

“That’s it!”

Chi Lian was not embarrassed at all, but instead accepted Jiang Deng's praise very proudly.

"cough!"

Pei Ranzhi coughed lightly, "In another quarter of an hour, the fire caused by the Flame Sword Intent will become even stronger. We should hurry in and get the Sword Intent."

"That's exactly what I meant."

The next moment, the five of them stepped into the sea of ​​fire at the same time, and were engulfed by the raging flames in an instant!

Logically speaking, as long as the quality of their own strange fire is relatively high, the surrounding sea of ​​fire will not harm them.

It’s a pity... the flame sword intent is too strong!

"Oh, it's so hot!"

Pei Huan held on for only a few breaths before he hurriedly ran out of the sea of ​​fire.

At this time, the strange fire on his body had been extinguished. Although he came out in time, there were still several big holes burned on his spiritual clothes, and his hair looked like it had been bitten by a dog. He looked quite miserable.

Turning his head, Pei Huan looked at the sea of ​​fire behind him, and found that no one else came out except him!

"W-what's going on?"

Pei Huan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He expected that the ghost cultivator with unfathomable strength could hold on, and he also expected that the female cultivator named Jiang Deng who possessed the heavenly grade strange fire could hold on.

But! How did that big and strong female cultivator who didn't even have the strange fire hold on and not come out?

Could it be that... the other party was burned to death the first moment he entered the sea of ​​fire?

"Hehe! Serves her right! It's her fault for being so close to Jiang Deng!"

Pei Huan gloated, feeling very happy when he thought about seeing Jiang Deng's sad face later.

In the sea of ​​fire.

Jiang Deng didn't know that someone outside was still watching over her. The moment she stepped into the sea of ​​fire, she felt waves of burning and stinging!

The flames driven by the flaming sword intent were so strong that they seemed to melt her body and soul together.

"Eight gates open!"

Jiang Deng quickly activated the "Eight Gates Kung Fu", wanting to use the flames ignited by the flaming sword intent to temper his physical strength.

Although her own Qingyu Strange Fire was a top-grade Heavenly Strange Fire, the further she went in and the closer she got to the Flame Sword Intent, the more exhausting it became.

Therefore, Jiang Deng had to use a little Qingluan True Flame to resist the attack of the sea of ​​fire, and finally approached the flame sword intent safely.

"call!"

Looking at the flaming sword intent so close in front of him, Jiang Deng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, only half a quarter of an hour later, the Hongmeng Spring Water in her body was finally refined by another 10%, and now her physical strength has increased to that of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

As long as she can get this flaming sword intent and absorb it with the destructive sword intent, her strength will become even stronger!

Thinking of this, Jiang Deng gritted his teeth, strode forward, and was about to reach out to grab the hilt of the Flame Sword!

At the same time, a bony hand reached out from the opposite side and grabbed the hilt of the sword!

Following the hand, a ball of black flame came into view. The person surrounded by the black flame was none other than Xiao Chen, known as the Ghost Emperor!

Jiang Deng and Xiao Chen grasped the hilt of the sword almost at the same time, neither of them willing to let go.

“Let go!”

Jiang Deng said with an unhappy look on his face.

It’s bad enough that this person harasses her all the time, but now he’s trying to steal her things. Isn’t that annoying!

Xiao Chen had a hint of a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, why don't you let go?"

"How about this," Jiang Deng said in a negotiating tone, "I'll count to one, two, three, and we'll both let go at the same time, how about that?"

"That's a good suggestion."

"good!"

Jiang Deng nodded and began to count down, "One, two, three!"

After he finished speaking, both of their hands were still firmly on the hilt of the sword, as if welded to it, and neither of them let go.

“…”

A drop of sweat slid down Jiang Deng's forehead.

Wow, she didn’t expect that the thick-skinnedness that she had always been proud of would meet a strong rival today!

Xiao Chen's eyes were full of meaning as he said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I advise you to let go."

Jiang Deng said angrily, "Why should I let go? Why don't you let go?"

"Heh," Xiao Chen chuckled, but his voice was devoid of a trace of laughter. "If you had stayed here any longer, I'm afraid that pretty boy who was flirting with you before would have died."

Jiang Deng was completely confused. "What pretty boy?"

When did she start flirting with that pretty boy? How come she didn't know?

"A month ago, when we met by chance on the mountaintop, weren't you curious about what I did to the sword disk?"

Xiao Chen knew what was happening inside the sea of ​​fire. Those outside the Sword Disc couldn't see clearly, so he stopped hiding and said bluntly, "I didn't damage the Sword Disc. I simply opened up a new area inside. Anyone without sword intent will be matched there. My nine ghost cultivators are among them."

"As for that man named Chengfeng, I've tested him before. He's not a sword cultivator, so naturally, he doesn't have sword intent in his body. Calculating the time, he's been in the sword disk for a long time. I guess he must have died there long ago, right? Haha!"

There was a glint of excitement in Xiao Chen's eyes.

Originally, he planned to let his nine men hold back the third senior brother, but now he uses these people to get rid of them. The wild man who is hooking up with the master is not bad either!

Hearing this, Jiang Deng leaned forward and grabbed Xiao Chen's collar with his free hand, angrily saying, "What did you do to Chengfeng!"

"Riding the wind?"

Xiao Chen sneered and looked up at Jiang Deng, "You called him so affectionately, it really makes me jealous."

Jiang Deng: "...Aren't you also yelling "Ride the wind, ride the wind"? Why am I special?"

"Of course," Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Any man you mention deserves to die!"

"Chen Xiao?"

Jiang Deng tentatively called out Xiao Chen's alias, "I called your name, you deserve to die."

Xiao Chen: "...Except me."

Jiang Deng ignored Xiao Chen and calmed down a little.

Chengfeng's strength is not weak. No matter how strong the nine ghost cultivators are, they should not die so easily at his hands.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I forgot to tell you that the sword disk will limit the cultivator's cultivation level. The highest level cannot exceed the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Coincidentally, my nine ghost cultivators are all at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Xiao Chen added with a smile, "One against nine, Chengfeng will definitely die today!"
