Chapter 140 Trying to Run Away? Too Late
Guan Xun casually tossed two charred, blackened figures forward, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Here are your two lackeys for you."
The corpse had barely left his hands when it was instantly engulfed by flames and burned to ashes.
Tai Shisu stood frozen in place. Despite being in a high-temperature space, he felt a chill run through him from head to toe, and his heart pounded like a drum.
"Oh, right, I won't show you the old man who ambushed me down there. After all, it's a pile of bloody flesh and blood, it's disgusting to look at." Guan Xun sneered, his words full of disdain.
"You...you...!" Tai Shi Su was so shocked and angry that his teeth chattered. He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed directly at Guan Xun: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
His chest heaved rapidly, and although he was refuting his words, his trembling chin revealed his true emotions.
The Second Elder's strength was similar to his, yet he was defeated by this woman!
He was all alone; how could he possibly defeat the man and beast before him?!
Tai Shi Su clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his panic. His gaze was filled with venomous hatred as he looked ahead. His voice was low and slow: "You have killed my elders time and time again and insulted my Holy Light Palace. You will not have a good end!"
"Fruit?" Guan Xun's eyes darted around, and he seemed to think about it seriously for a moment. "I don't really like eating fruit. If I pick a bad one, I'll just throw it away."
Her gaze shifted, and she stared intently at Taishi Su with interest, her tone languid: "But... it seems you have reinforcements?"
Upon hearing this, Taishi Su's face turned ashen, cold sweat soaking his back. The other party's ambiguous smile sent chills down his spine.
This woman... is too smart.
Seeing the figure rushing towards him, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately turned and fled.
They had originally planned to buy some time and wait for the Grand Elder to come to their aid, but it seems that they won't be able to wait that long.
Tai Shi Su's spiritual energy surged rapidly from the soles of his feet, attempting to accelerate his movement. However, the moment the spiritual energy appeared, the surrounding crimson flames erupted and rushed towards him.
His hair stood on end, but he couldn't care less about anything else. If he didn't mobilize his spiritual power, he wouldn't be able to distance himself from the people chasing him from behind. Right now, he could only try his best to evade the pursuit from all sides and hold out until the Grand Elder arrived!
However, he overlooked a fatal thing.
Chi Rong exhaled hot air, poked his head out, and with his crystal eyes slowly turning, he was already right in front of Tai Shi Su.
His cold and ruthless gaze sent chills down one's spine.
Before he could turn around and escape again, the sound of wind rushing past him made his heart leap into his throat.
"Trying to run now? Isn't it a bit too late?" Guan Xun, her dress swaying, stood on the crimson flames, looking at him with amusement.
With no way forward and no way back, Taishi Su's nostrils flared, and his breathing became rapid and unsteady.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes darting around, and said viciously, "When you travel the world, I advise you not to get too cocky! If you hadn't killed my children, I wouldn't have had to hold a grudge against you. Everything is because of you!"
"Oh?" Guan Xun's lips parted slightly as he stepped closer. "Don't you know what kind of people you have? Even if it was caused by me, what can you do to me?"
Tai Shisu shuddered, glancing to both sides out of the corner of his eye, and subtly shifted his position to the side: "Nonsense! Don't insult my children! Even if I can't do anything to you..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
He suddenly swayed his body, gritted his teeth, and flashed towards the tiny gap opened by the crimson fire!
After stepping halfway out of the gap, he turned his head to look back, his face filled with a chilling expression: "Bah! You two beasts! Just you wait, I'll skin you alive, tear you to pieces, and rip you to shreds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Su suddenly felt a shadow looming over the gap in front of him. His mind tightened instantly, and he stiffly turned his head.
A huge tail lashed down!
The giant tail brought with it a fierce and unparalleled gust of wind, and its speed was beyond the limits of human capability. Tai Shi Su had no time to defend or dodge, and blood gushed out from his skin.
He plummeted down like a kite with its string cut!
Just then, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from the outside, and the surrounding sea of fire began to sway slightly. The flames that were originally leaping outwards actually showed signs of rushing inwards.
"Turn off the fire!" Guan Xun's eyes sharpened instantly, and he immediately shouted in a low voice. He lowered his head and quickly locked his gaze on the falling person. Then, he swiftly jumped off the red flames!
The longsword instantly materialized in her palm. She narrowed her extremely cold and fierce black eyes, raised her hand, and slashed down at the withered arm that was reaching out from the sea of fire.
"Qiang!"
The withered hand that was trying to grab Taishi Su's body suddenly trembled, but there were no visible injuries, and it quickly withdrew.
Guan Xun casually grabbed Tai Shi Su by the hair and lifted him up. Then, he leaped onto the head that Chi Rong had just stretched out.
The crimson flames subsided, and the space once again regained its original brightness.
An old man in a gray robe with a long beard reaching his chest stood high in the sky.
His palm was resting on the elbow of his other hand, which was trembling slightly. When he looked up, his gaze suddenly turned icy cold.
Guan Xun lowered his eyes and sized him up.
Can one tread upon the void without any supporting elements...? It is the power of manipulation, the myriad phenomena.
She frowned, a hint of annoyance showing on her face.
The power of all things controls nature; as long as one's feet are on the wind, one can stand anywhere.
This old man was able to influence Chi Rong's Crimson Flame just now, so his divine soul power must be quite strong, and his cultivation level is not much different from hers.
The sword strike hadn't left a mark on him, and the sound of it hitting him was particularly strange.
Could it be that he has practiced some kind of physical cultivation technique?
Well, in any case, it would be quite troublesome if we clashed with his spiritual power.
However, as for the power of manipulation... well, the other party couldn't do anything to her at all.
"Put him down right now!" the old man shouted coldly, his murderous intent rising with each shout.
Guan Xun immediately felt the person in his hand seem to move slightly.
She withdrew her gaze, glanced at Taishi Su, who was no longer human, and disdainfully pulled him away. Then, she looked at the old man sideways and said indifferently, "You are his aid?"
The words had barely left his mouth when Guan Xun's tightly gripped hand suddenly and obediently loosened.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder's expression turned cold, and he immediately waved his hand, sending a whirlwind carrying hidden force rapidly sweeping towards Taishi Su.
Guan Xun's phoenix eyes snapped open, and a red light immediately flashed within them, directly causing the whirlwind to stop, and the air suspended in the entire space to suddenly freeze.
Even Chi Rong's eyelids drooped slightly.
Feeling his feet sway slightly, Guan Xun chuckled casually, "Looks like your training this time has been quite successful. Even you can't handle it?"
A chilling laugh reached his ears, and Chi Rong snapped back to reality, straightening his posture instantly: "Master, who can withstand your sudden, all-encompassing release... It's just much more powerful than before!"
It chuckled twice, not forgetting to flatter.
Guan Xun twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't say anything more. She had already tried it out earlier, and apart from the power of control, the attribute ability was also much stronger.
In the instant the air froze, the Grand Elder also stiffened, and his cloudy eyes began to lose focus.
The swirling wind that had been blowing stopped in time, leaving no chance to catch Taishi Su as he plummeted downwards.
With a loud bang, the surroundings instantly returned to normal, and black smoke billowed from the spot where the body had crashed, leaving only a skeleton being corroded by venom.
At this moment, the Grand Elder was convulsing and wildly striking at the air, still not regaining his senses.
Seeing that its master had landed on the stone, Chi Rong quickly shook its body and transformed back into its small form, perching on its master's shoulder.
"It seems this old man encountered a fierce battle in the illusion." It let out a "oh," watching the elder who was beating the air like a spectator.
Since his divine soul was not as powerful as his master's, nor was his strength far superior to his master's, he could not possibly break free from the illusion.
Guan Xun's eyes were indifferent as he surveyed the appalling surroundings, then suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, where's the little fish?"
