"How can this be called superstition? Throughout recorded history, every time such a celestial phenomenon has occurred, either a monarch has died suddenly, a minister has died violently, or even the world has descended into chaos and rivers of blood have flowed." Qiao Xueying was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with his dismissive attitude, thinking that everyone in this world should know this, so why is this guy completely indifferent?
Zuan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Do you think this Heavenly Seal could be related to this Mars Guarding the Heart?"
Qiao Xueying's expression changed: "I can only hope that's not the case, otherwise we might be in danger."
As she was talking, she suddenly noticed that Zu An's face had brightened up a bit. Just as she was wondering about it, she noticed that he was looking up at the sky, so she quickly looked up at the sky as well.
Suddenly, the once pitch-black sky turned as bright as day, as a huge burning fireball descended from the sky.
"A meteorite from outer space!" Qiao Xueying's expression changed.
"You guys actually know about meteorites?" Zuan couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Nonsense, don't you know that high-level fire and earth cultivators have a forbidden spell that can summon meteorites from outer space?" Qiao Xueying thought he was making a fuss over nothing.
Watching the fireball streak across the sky, growing larger and larger until the flames on its surface were visible to the naked eye, Zuan muttered to himself, "Where do you think this meteorite will land? It can't be so unlucky as to fall right here, can it?"
As soon as it finished speaking, the huge meteorite suddenly burst open, splitting into countless small fireballs. This explosion seemed to have affected their flight trajectory, causing them to deviate slightly from their previous course and fall directly in the direction of the two people.
"You jinx!" Qiao Xueying was speechless, grabbed him and ran away.
The rain of fire initially seemed far away, but it fell at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of us in just a few breaths.
Qiao Xueying's expression changed drastically. This naturally formed meteorite fire rain was definitely much more powerful than the forbidden spells cast by cultivators. It looked like only a small cluster in the sky, but when it got closer, she realized that the fire rain covered a wide area. There was no way to escape their attack range in such a short time.
At first, Qiao Xueying pulled Zu An along, but later it was Zu An who pulled her along.
Zaun used his Sunflower Illusion technique to weave through the rain of fire. Each of these flames was as powerful as a missile from his previous life. In fact, with his ghostly movements, it wasn't difficult for him to avoid being hit head-on. However, the huge shockwaves and intense heat generated by each flame hitting the ground were extremely dangerous. In addition, the surrounding oxygen was quickly burned away.
If he were still an ordinary person, a ball of fire landing near him might have killed him. Fortunately, his physical abilities are now far superior to those of his previous life, and he managed to withstand several waves of impact.
However, he had no idea when this rain of fire would end. After being hit by several shockwaves, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, and the air he was breathing in was scorching hot, making his lungs feel like they were about to explode.
Just then, Qiao Xueying flipped her wrist, and countless green leaves shielded the two of them, absorbing the shockwaves from the surrounding explosions.
"I feel like the wisest decision I made today was bringing you in. I never expected you to be so useful," Zuan said sincerely, looking at the girl in front of him.
"Hmph, the worst decision I made today was coming in with you. I've really lost out," Qiao Xueying snorted resentfully.
Suddenly, another loud bang came, and Qiao Xueying groaned as she fell uncontrollably into his arms. The green leaf shield around her also showed signs of being shattered, but she quickly circulated her Yuan Power to stabilize the shield.
Noticing a trickle of blood seeping from her lips, Zuan hurriedly said, "Get closer to me, and don't make your shield so big. It will save you a lot of effort."
"No way." Qiao Xueying even took a step back, deliberately making the shield even bigger.
"Are all women such impulsive and irrational creatures?" Zuan was very puzzled, but as a man, he had to be decisive at this time. He reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms and pressing them tightly together. This way, the area of the shield she maintained would be much smaller.
"What are you doing!" Qiao Xueying struggled instinctively.
Zuan held her struggling arm tightly and said irritably, "Why are you reacting so strongly? It's not like we haven't kissed and hugged before. The Heavenly Seal is definitely more dangerous than before. Wouldn't it be better to save your energy for dealing with the crisis later?"
Qiao Xueying knew that what he said was true. After hesitating for a while, she ultimately did not refute him and silently shrank the green shield around her.
They didn't know how much time had passed when the two emerged from their hiding place to find the surroundings devastated. The village was engulfed in flames, and everywhere they looked, there were people fighting the fire and treating the wounded, and cries could be heard everywhere.
Zaun fell silent. Although the fire rain was powerful, it was not enough to live up to the name of the Heavenly Seal. Could it be that something else had happened?
