“You don’t know the difference between life and death!”
A cold light flashed across Lu Ming’s eyes. He quickly struck out a palm and collided with Yan Mulan’s flames.
“Rumble!” A terrifying sound was heard. The destructive force spread in the void. Yan Mulan’s body was sent flying by the collision and almost fell into the pond.
On the other side, the palm imprint that Lu Ming released did not stop. It continued to grab Xue Yu’s body.
A terrifying destructive power flowed on the palm imprint. Its size became huge, covering the entire space!
However, just as the huge palm was about to grab Xue Yu’s body, a terrifying flame arrow whizzed over. The terrifying flame power flowing on it was many times more powerful than the offensive power that Yan Mulan had released previously.
Lu Ming’s eyes focused when he sensed the terrifying destructive power of the flame arrow. He knew that Yan Mulan had used an extremely powerful fire-attribute combat skill to deal with him.
Although he thought that he was powerful and his combat strength was unparalleled, he had no choice but to dodge such a terrifying attack.
Lu Ming retracted his palm and quickly dodged to the side.
“Let’s go!”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Mulan said to Xue Yu anxiously.
Xue Yu, who was saved, felt Lu Ming’s terrifying strength. The two girls looked at each other and quickly ran toward the Pool’s center.
“Where are you going?!”
A cold light burst out from Lu Ming’s eyes and he quickly chased after them.
“Swoosh!”
Seeing Lu Ming chasing after her, Yan Mulan used the flaming crossbow in her hand to shoot out another flame arrow, which made an ear-piercing sound of breaking wind.
Lu Ming dodged the attack of the flame arrow, so the speed of his chase naturally slowed down a little.
“Senior Sister, what should we do?”
An anxious look appeared on Yan Mulan’s pretty face. Her Fire Crossbow could only produce five flame arrows a day. She had already used up two of them and was left with only three flame arrows. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
The Fire Crossbow in her hand was a Top Grade Soulbound Weapon that her master gave her.
It was very difficult for an Early Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior to dodge the attack of the flame arrow, but such a powerful weapon was unable to hurt Lu Ming. It could be seen how powerful Lu Ming was.
“We’ll talk about that after reaching the central zone of the Pool!”
Xue Yu’s face was also filled with anxiety. When she said these words, she was also uncertain in her heart.
The two girls quickly flew towards the central part of the pool, and soon arrived in the sky above Ye Xiao’s head.
At this moment, Lu Ming had caught up with them. Without saying a word, he unleashed an incomparably terrifying palm strike.
The two girls combined their attacks and unleashed an ice and fire elemental attack. It collided with Lu Ming’s huge ice palm attack, creating a terrifying shockwave. The two girls were forced back by the force of the collision, and blood flowed out from the corner of their mouths.
Lu Ming’s strength was simply too powerful. In front of Lu Ming, both of them felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts. Even if they joined forces and unleashed all of their strength, they would still die in front of Lu Ming!
“You won’t be able to escape anymore. Surrender now!”
A cold smile emerged on Lu Ming’s face as he slowly approached the two girls.
“Lu Ming, you better not be so arrogant. My friend is cultivating here. If you infuriate him, you will suffer greatly!”
Yan Mulan’s face was filled with fear when she saw Lu Ming approaching her.
She couldn’t help but look at Ye Xiao. In a moment of desperation, Yan Mulan actually called Ye Xiao her friend and tried to use him as a shield for the two of them.
“A friend?”
After hearing Yan Mulan’s words, a disdainful smile appeared on Lu Ming’s face. His gaze fell on Ye Xiao, who was in the Water Pond.
“Is this your friend? I don’t seem to have noticed anything special about him. Furthermore, his cultivation base is only in the Chaos Dust Realm. Don’t tell me you think he can pose a threat to me, a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior?”
Lu Ming said sarcastically. When he saw that Ye Xiao’s cultivation base was only at the Chaos Dust Realm, he could only sneer in his heart, thinking that Yan Mulan was stalling for time.
“You will only know if he can be a threat to you or not after trying it out.”
Yan Mulan’s eyes sparkled. She knew that what she did was a bit immoral, but in order to avoid Lu Ming’s threat, she could not think of another way.
She knew that Ye Xiao was very strong. Although he could not be compared with Lu Ming, with their help, the three of them might be able to defeat Lu Ming.
“Although too young, he is still just a Chaos Dust Realm warrior. I can kill him with a single strike. At that time, both of you will have to serve me in bed!”
Lu Ming said coldly, and then, he started moving toward Ye Xiao. At the same time, a huge ice palm struck out, aiming at Ye Xiao’s body!
“Boom!”
In the next moment, a terrifying vibration was heard. Lu Ming’s huge ice palm struck Ye Xiao’s body. The destructive force kept moving on the surface of Ye Xiao’s body, but it was all blocked by a fiery red barrier surrounding Ye Xiao’s body that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Universe Essence Flame: Fourth Form, Flame Energy Barrier!”
Yes, this was the fourth form of the Universe Essence Flame Technique that Ye Xiao had created.
The Universe Essence Flame Technique had a total of nine forms. The first form was Flame Armor, the second form was Flame Aura, the third form was Flame Fist, and the fourth form was Flame Energy Barrier.
As for the rest of the five forms, Ye Xiao had yet to use them.
Ye Xiao was prepared beforehand starting to cultivate. Because this was a secret realm and this pond was in the open, he knew someone might come to disturb him. At that time, if he was still cultivating, he might suffer backlash that will cause severe injuries.
Thus, he first activated the Flame Energy Barrier that could save him from outside troubles before starting to cultivate.
Indeed, his choice was right. This indeed saved him at a critical moment.
Seeing his attack being blocked, Lu Ming’s eyes slightly focused. He felt that his arm was numb. His facial expression changed, as if he had never thought that Ye Xiao to lay down a card beforehand.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao furrowed his brows. He immediately woke up when he sensed that someone had attacked him but was blocked by the Flame Energy Barrier.
His eyes were sharp, and there was a powerful force lingering around his body. It was a marvelous sight to behold.
Ye Xiao fixed his eyes on Lu Ming, and a cold light shot out from his pupils. He said, “Who are you? Why did you sneak attack me while I was cultivating?”
“He is the Lu Ming of the Blood Shadow Tower. He is very strong. You have to be careful!”
Yan Mulan reminded Ye Xiao. If Ye Xiao was accidentally killed by Lu Ming, then both of them would have no chance of surviving.
Ye Xiao’s eyes fell on Yan Mulan with a cold look.
Although he has no idea what was going on, he could still guess that these two women might be using him as a shield to save themselves.
“You are these two girls’ friend, right? Your defense is not bad. However, don’t think that just a simple Flame Energy Barrier is good enough to fight against me.”
Lu Ming’s cold eyes swept across Ye Xiao’s body and spoke proudly. “Now, I will give you a chance to kill yourself. Otherwise, if I take action, even your corpse might not be left behind.”
Lu Ming’s voice was powerful, and he demanded Ye Xiao to kill himself.
What kind of status Lu Ming has? He was used to being arrogant. He, Lu Ming, had never met anyone below the Chaos Spirit Realm warrior who could fight against him on equal terms, let alone Ye Xiao, who was only a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
“Kill myself? Are you sure?”
Ye Xiao looked at Lu Ming with a mocking look. His eyes were also filled with pride. Currently, Ye Xiao’s cultivation base had already reached the peak of Chaos Spirit Realm. Not to mention, his very own strength was incredibly terrifying. How could he be afraid of Lu Ming?
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to?”
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, as if he could sense Ye Xiao’s pride, and asked.
