"But there's no need for a fight." The old man in black said lightly. He raised his left arm, and a pale and slender palm stretched out from under the wide black sleeves. His palm slowly turned, and a flame only the size of a fist appeared silently, burning quietly in his palm.
This is a cluster of blue flames, and among the mysterious fires, blue mysterious fire is only a relatively low-level flame, belonging to the mysterious fire of the following realms. Above the Earthly Profound Realm, the burning ones are all purple mysterious fires. In other words, the blue mysterious fire, let alone these powerful emperors, is impossible to cause harm to a mysterious practitioner in the Heavenly Profound Realm.
But unlike the normal Xuan Fire, the blue color of this flame is a somewhat strange ice blue... close to the color of extremely dense ice power. What's even more strange is that no Xuan Power fluctuations can be felt from this ice-blue flame, as if this is not a Xuan Fire at all, but a very ordinary natural fire with no power that can only burn ordinary things.
“All you need to do is accept this little spark of my power, and I will leave immediately and never interfere with the affairs of your Sun Moon Divine Palace again. But if you cannot even accept this little spark of my power… you must leave immediately and never set foot here again!”
The ice-blue flame flickered slightly in the black-clothed old man's palm. His heavy voice remained calm, yet carried an immense pressure. His tone was not one of negotiation at all, but of command, which could not be questioned... In addition, the subtext of his words was clearly: You are not worthy enough to fight with me. You win if you can take on this little flame of mine!
To become an emperor is to be at the highest level in the world, to look down upon all living beings. How could one be despised like this? Ye Shi was furious and sneered, “Even the Phoenix God of the Phoenix Sect, who has the power of the gods, would never dare to despise the elders of the Sun Moon Palace. Your Excellency, are you not afraid of being blown away by the wind?”
"Hehe..." The old man in black smiled indifferently and said nothing more. Instead, he gently pushed his palm, and the ice-blue flame in his palm slowly flew out and flew towards Ye Shi's chest at a leisurely pace.
The stronger the profound power, the higher the law, and the more dense and powerful the power released. At the level of the Emperor, even the power of a finger snap will cause space to tremble and twist. However, this ball of ice-blue flame still had no profound power aura when it flew out. Wherever it went, there was no ripple or distortion in the space... Not to mention the space, even the surrounding natural elements did not have the slightest disorder...
When it was in the hands of the black-clothed old man, this ball of flame had no aura, which could be barely understood as being suppressed by his powerful profound power. However, now that it had flown out of his hands, it still had no aura of power at all... The only explanation was that this ball of flame had no laws at all, and was just the most ordinary fire!!
There is absolutely no other possibility!
Ye Shi's only trace of nervousness disappeared immediately. He was completely certain at this moment that this old man in black who appeared out of nowhere was just bluffing. His absurdly strong aura must have been created by some very special method to scare people... That's right! In this world, apart from the Phoenix God of the Phoenix Sect, there is no one who can defeat the Holy Emperor, the Sea Emperor, the Heavenly Monarch, and the Sword Master! They were almost bluffed!
Ye Shi's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he sneered. He was too lazy to circulate his mystical energy and slapped the oncoming ice-blue flame. When his palm touched the flame, he did not feel even the slightest burning sensation. The flame had completely disappeared from his sight, without any trace left.
“Hahahaha!” Ye Shi laughed wildly: “I thought he was some kind of expert, but it turns out he’s just a pretentious clown! Hahahaha, it’s really hilarious!” While laughing, he turned to Ye Xinghan: “Young Master, Ninth Elder, it seems that today we…”
When he said this, his voice suddenly stopped, because he suddenly discovered that Ye Xinghan, Ye Guying, Ye Juanyun, and Ye Xuran all had their eyes wide open with dilated pupils, as if they were looking at some extremely terrifying scene, and the fifteen guardians behind them... they all had deep fear on their faces, and the muscles on their faces, and even their whole bodies, were trembling... and the trembling became more and more violent as they moved farther away, and their open mouths seemed to be about to shout something, but they could not make any sound due to the extreme fear.
The whole world seemed to freeze completely. There was a brief silence, followed by Ye Guying's hoarse roar: "Your hand! Hand!!"
Ye Shi subconsciously turned his head to look at his palm... In an instant, his pupils dilated dozens of times, and his entire face turned pale in extreme fear.
Because when he raised his arm... he could no longer see his palm!!
His right hand...disappeared!!
A cluster of ice-blue flames was burning silently on his wrist where his hand had been lost... No! That was not burning, it was more accurately described as swallowing! Wherever the ice-blue flames reached, his arm disappeared inch by inch... In the blink of an eye, the flames spread to his elbow bone, and half of his arm also completely disappeared from his body.
During the entire process, there was no breath, no sound, and no pain or other sensations! There wasn't even a trace of burning... not even a trace of ash!
It was as if his arm was being ruthlessly swallowed by an invisible and terrifying black hole!
And what it devoured was the body of a powerful emperor! !
This was a terrifying scene that no one had ever seen or heard of, and it was completely beyond their cognition. Ye Shi's pupils dilated to the point of almost bursting, and the greatest fear of his life surged up in an instant, causing him to let out a hoarse and twisted scream, and all his profound energy flowed to his right arm like crazy, trying to suppress this terrifying "flame", but when his profound energy touched the ice-blue flame, it disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the ice-blue flame was not suppressed, and there was not even a trace of turbulence, and it continued to burn slowly, gradually approaching his shoulder...
There was no pain... not even a little pain, but watching his body disappear was a fear many times more terrifying than falling into hell. His whole body was trembling, and he let out a scream that became more and more shrill. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets in extreme fear, and the veins on his forehead bulged out like earthworms...
But no matter how he screamed and struggled, the flame that was as pure and beautiful as ice crystals but more terrifying than a demon was still burning quietly...
“Save…save me…”
clang!!
Ye Huoran grabbed a deep purple sword from the space ring. His body left a shadow and a purple sword arc passed through the air. He slashed at Ye Shi's shoulder and cut off his remaining arm that was stained with ice-blue flames!
However, before the people in the Sun Moon Temple could breathe a sigh of relief, they were horrified to find that Ye Shi’s severed arm had completely disappeared in the air, but the ice-blue flame still existed and dispersed in the air, dispersing into more than a dozen clusters... and all fell back on Ye Shi’s body.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen holes appeared on Ye Shi's arms, legs, chest, abdomen... and quickly enlarged as the flames spread, gradually leading Ye Shi's body to complete nothingness.
Ye Shi's scream of fear became even more shrill, his whole body twisted in convulsions, and his only remaining left arm frantically beat and tore at his body... But as soon as his left hand touched the ice-blue flame, it began to disappear quickly. His frantic struggle also made the ice-blue flame spread throughout his body even faster, leaving the body of this powerful emperor riddled with holes...
The weakest person from the Sun Moon Temple present was a Tyrant Emperor, and the strongest was close to the late Emperor. However, everyone had a look of deep fear on their faces, and the women of Bingyun were even more terrified... because they were seeing a scene so terrifying that they could not even comprehend it! At this moment, Ye Guying suddenly roared at Ye Xuran: "Xu Ran, quickly abandon your sword!!"
Ye Huoran was startled and subconsciously lowered his head, and was immediately frightened to death... The purple sword in his hand that had just cut off Ye Shi's shoulder was actually stained with a little ice-blue flame... Although it was only a little, it had made the entire tip of the sword completely disappear, and it was now spreading rapidly upwards.
Ye Huoran's hands were shaking and he almost lost his soul, but he did not throw the sword away immediately, because this purple sword was Ye Shi's personal sword. It had been with him for more than three hundred years and he regarded it as his life. But during his moment of hesitation, the ice-blue flame had already engulfed the sword and rushed straight into his palm.
Ye Guying rushed over and punched Ye Huoran's wrist fiercely. This sudden blow did not hold back and directly dislocated Ye Huoran's wrist, and the purple sword in his hand flew far away. Ye Guying stopped and growled: "Are you going to die?!"
Ye Huoran was sweating all over. If the flames had touched his palms, he would have suffered the same consequences as Ye Shi! He was terrified and said quickly, "Thank you...thank you for saving my life, Elder Nine."
At this time, Ye Shi could no longer make any sound. Most of his body had disappeared, and the remaining body could no longer be recognized as a human shape. It was disappearing even faster under the devouring of the ice-blue flames. The occasional twitching proved that this Elder Sun and Moon with the power of an emperor still had a trace of breath left. But soon, this last breath also disappeared completely... The entire body also completely disappeared there!
Not a trace of residue remains!
Looking at the place where Ye Shi disappeared, everyone was terrified and stunned, as if petrified and motionless. A gust of cold wind blew, and they all shivered. A chill that was a million times colder than the wind was madly running through their bodies... Their whole bodies were already soaked with cold sweat.
Young Master Sun and Moon, Elder Sun and Moon... were undoubtedly the top figures in the world, but at this moment, they were filled with fear... Even their shock was suppressed by the deep fear. This old man in black had an extremely powerful aura. They had expected that he might really have extremely powerful strength, but they had never expected that he would be so terrifying when he made a move!
A tiny spark caused a powerful emperor to disappear from the world without any resistance... The scene just now was more than terrifying... It was a kind of power that should not exist in the mortal world, but only in illusory myths and legends!
Moreover, this little flame was only casually ignited by the old man in black, without even a trace of disturbance in the mysterious energy.
“Alas…” The old man in black sighed softly, “I only wanted to punish him as a warning, but I never thought that an elder from a holy land would die directly from such a small spark. Has the profound way of the Profound Sky Continent actually declined to such an extent…”
The sigh of the old man in black was like disappointment and regret... He was saying that he only wanted to use this little flame to warn Yeshi, but he didn't expect that Yeshi, the elder of the holy land, would die without even the slightest resistance...
In other words... I knew you were weak, but I didn't expect you to be this weak!
“Since the killing vow has been broken… then all of you should stay here.” The old man in black sighed again and stretched out his pale palm. A cluster of ice-blue flames, exactly the same as before, ignited in his palm… and this cluster of ice-blue flames was more than twice as big as the previous one!!
It was still just ignited casually, without even a trace of the movement of profound power! It was as if this was just the ordinary power of this old man in black, a power that did not even require concentration.
Seeing this ball of ice-blue flame, the remaining three elders of Sun and Moon felt their hair stand on end instantly. Ye Xinghan even took several steps back. There was no trace of arrogance or pride on his face anymore, only white fear.
