Jiuxian felt the scorching heat in the air, and the ice in his eyes almost solidified into a tangible form.
"It's not certain who will die first."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his movements were so fast that only a blur could be seen as he crashed into the wall, which was now unrecognizable, with invisible pressure.
Hearing the increasingly intense sounds of attack coming from the wall, the bearded man panicked: "Quick, quick, pour in some more oil and add some firewood."
With each command he gave, the surrounding fire grew larger and larger, turning half the sky above the mountain stronghold red.
What the bearded man didn't notice was that as the temperature rose, the surface of the black iron began to soften and showed signs of melting.
By the time he realized something was wrong, the bulge that had been hit had already been cut open.
The bearded man thought to himself, "It's over," and decided to go all out: "Quick, pour oil into them and burn them to death."
Inside, Loxi was already struggling to control the surrounding air temperature while smashing the wall.
As soon as the oil was poured in, a fire broke out instantly, singeing the hair on his forehead and emitting a pungent, acrid smell.
"You bastard, you're dead."
Luo Xi gave Jiu Xian a wink, and the two of them attacked simultaneously, their powerful forces slamming into the wall in an instant.
"coax--"
It blew open a huge hole in an instant.
As the hole opened, the two rushed out with lightning speed, staring at the bearded man with grim expressions.
The bearded man looked at the two people, who were still alive despite being charred black by the fire, and swallowed hard.
"My two esteemed heroes, would you believe me if I said this was a misunderstanding?"
Luo Xi opened her small mouth, which was billowing black smoke, revealing a set of white teeth: "What do you think? Idiot!"
She glanced at the trembling bearded man and his henchmen, then unleashed a powerful attack.
Nine Strings was even more direct. He started killing as soon as he was released from the cage. In the short time that Luo Xi and the bearded man were talking, several corpses were already lying around him.
Moreover, their deaths were all gruesome, showing that he was extremely angry.
The bearded man stared at the two men who looked like demons, and at the henchmen who were dying one after another while taking the blows for him, his face turning pale.
"Hold on, everyone! Hold on!"
He yelled at his henchmen while he and his strategist kept retreating, preparing to sneak away.
Loxi wasn't about to give him that chance. He lightly pushed off the ground with his toes, leaping over the henchmen and floating right up to the bearded man.
Then he unleashed a spatial energy attack at him.
The bearded man panicked and instinctively pulled the strategist next to him to shield him.
"Bang!" A sound rang out.
The strategist's chest was a bloody mess, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief: "You, you..."
He only managed to utter two words before he died.
Loxi watched all this indifferently, unleashing several spatial abilities in succession, all aimed at the bearded man's limbs.
The bearded man, relying on his superior leg skills, dodged left and right. Although he was forced into a somewhat disheveled state, he was not seriously injured.
"Damn it! If you've got the guts, let's fight in close combat. You're running all that way and using your internal energy to attack people from a distance. What kind of hero are you?" he roared angrily.
Hero? Loxi glanced at him: "When you burned us, why didn't you remember that word?"
Her hands moved faster and faster, giving the bearded man no chance to catch his breath.
A short while later, the bearded man exhausted his physical and internal strength and had nowhere to avoid it. He felt a chill in his limbs, followed by waves of intense pain entering his brain.
"ah--"
"You bitch!"
He fell to the ground like a dead dog, his whole body soaked in bright red blood, his face contorted in pain.
Loxi walked up to the bearded man step by step: "Tell me, who gave you permission to do this?"
Both poison from a poison doctor and a cage made of black iron—what a grand scheme!
Seeing no hope of survival, the bearded man became even more defiant: "It was your grandpa who did it, you bitch, you dare kill me?"
He has now lost all four limbs, is numb with pain, and only wishes for a quick death.
"Fine! You're a real man. Let me see how long you can keep up this stubbornness." Luo Xi manipulated the spatial blade, and with a "whoosh," a chunk of flesh disappeared from the bearded man's cheek.
"Ah—, you bitch, it was your grandpa who did it! If you have the guts, kill me..."
Honestly, Luo Xi doesn't understand this person at all. You're in such a state, yet your master refuses to come out and help you. Why do you keep it a secret for him?
No matter what, she had to find out who was behind this today; otherwise, how could she justify the suffering she and Jiu Xian had endured?
In an instant, the spatial blades materialized and flew towards the bearded man in countless numbers, instantly covering the entire area with a layer of red mist.
Even Jiu Xian, who had just finished dealing with the others, couldn't help but twitch his brow at this scene.
At this point, the bearded man finally couldn't take it anymore: "Heroine...stop! I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"It was Erlang Shenjun who made me do this. Who told you to offend him? He's not someone to be trifled with, hahaha. Just you wait and see, he'll avenge me. You'll all die a horrible death, a horrible death."
He was laughing hysterically as he spoke, and he was already somewhat incoherent.
It was him!
Luo Xi thought it was Judas, but it seems he underestimated the charlatan.
You won't see whether I live or die, but you'll die soon.
Loshi grabbed the bearded man's hair, lifted his body, which was as big as a gas cylinder, and threw him forcefully into the blazing fire: "You like playing with fire, don't you? Then go ahead and have some fun."
She has always been a considerate person.
"No—" Although the bearded man was determined to die, he did not want to be burned alive.
