As Xiao Xue waved her hand and slashed out Sword Qi at the spirit cat, the Fire Spirit spat out a mouthful of green flame, easily blocking the two strands of Sword Qi.
It looked up in Xiao Xue's direction, its eyes a solid green without pupils.
But meeting those eerie green eyes, Xiao Xue felt as if she were being preyed upon.
This Fire Spirit of the Netherworld Poison Flame had set its sights on the Bone Chilling Flame and the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire within Xiao Xue!
Although, strictly speaking, the ranking of the Bone Chilling Flame was significantly higher than that of the Netherworld Poison Flame.
However, the current Netherworld Poison Flame already possessed the strength of a Six-Star Dou Zong.
Meanwhile, the current Bone Chilling Flame was estimated to be only at the Peak Dou Zong level and lacked intelligence.
If it were to be swallowed or refined, it could only rely on instinct to resist.
Therefore, after swallowing the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire first, the success rate for the Netherworld Poison Flame to consume the Bone Chilling Flame would be extremely high!
And if it could successfully devour two Heavenly Flames, this Nether Spirit Cat might even step into the Dou Venerate Realm!
This Fire Spirit was very covetous of the Heavenly Flames on Xiao Xue's person.
It let out a low growl, instantly generating a sea of fire that filled the sky, and the surrounding temperature rose to a terrifying level in an instant.
A Heavenly Flame Fire Spirit of the Six-Star Dou Zong level—the sea of fire it released could probably burn a Dou Zong to death with its high temperature alone!
Whoosh!
A pair of massive, forest-white bone wings appeared behind Xiao Xue, and the temperature of the entire space dropped instantly.
The Bone Chilling Flame was clearly a flame, yet it could release an ultimate chill, which was extremely eerie.
Xiao Xue knew well that this Fire Spirit had not used its full strength just now.
Although the Fire Spirit was a Six-Star Dou Zong, with Ahri being a Four-Star and Medusa a Three-Star Dou Zong, it wasn't an impossible fight.
In fact, as long as they cooperated well, their side's chances of winning were not low.
After all, Medusa was no ordinary Three-Star Dou Zong.
As a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python with a Heavenly Flame Serpent Body, leaping one or two stars to kill an enemy was usually no problem.
And Ahri, at the Four-Star Early Stage, could also burst forth with Five-Star combat power for a short time.
With her added to the mix, the three of them fighting one Fire Spirit shouldn't result in a failure.
But before Medusa finished off the fire slave, she and Ahri would have to face this Fire Spirit alone.
This thing could kill in an instant!
If nothing else, having Dou Zong-level toxins enter her body would be more than enough to give her a hard time!
Even with a Heavenly Flame protecting her body, it wouldn't be very effective!
Therefore, without hesitation, Xiao Xue called out to Ahri in her heart, requesting her to take over the fight.
In the next moment, strands of pink flame attached themselves to the forest-white bone wings on Xiao Xue's back.
Ahri used her Soul Power of the Spirit Realm to control two types of Heavenly Flames simultaneously.
At this moment, facing the Fire Spirit, Xiao Xue seemed to have grown wings of ice and fire.
Xiao Xue flapped her fiery wings and dove straight toward the Fire Spirit.
The Fire Spirit gave a strange cry, and poisonous stingers condensed out of thin air, filling the sky.
Furthermore, they were infused with eerie green light and fire.
Facing the overwhelming onslaught of poisonous stingers, Xiao Xue had no intention of dodging.
The Dou Qi in her body surged in an instant, and the Bone Chilling Flame was immediately pushed to its limit.
The Netherworld Poison Flame wanted to swallow her Bone Chilling Flame, but she could also use the Bone Chilling Flame to swallow the power of the Netherworld Poison Flame and make it her own.
As long as they were Heavenly Flames, they could devour each other!
Xiao Xue's seemingly smooth and delicate skin actually withstood the invasion of the sky-filling spikes by force.
She was unharmed, but the hairband that tied her long black hair into a high ponytail was severed by the spikes, causing her long hair to fall naturally.
A few strands of hair fluttered in front of her face; her temperament did not become more feminine because of this, but instead appeared even more valiant.
Holding a fire sword, Xiao Xue stared directly at the Fire Spirit below, a rich dark gold color condensing in her eyes.
"Find the right moment; there's only one chance!"
On the other side, the battle between Medusa and the fire slave was a completely one-sided affair, with Medusa holding an absolute advantage.
Although the fire slave's strength had also reached three-star, nearing Four-Star Dou Zong, its attack power was not particularly strong.
A thing like a Puppet only has an outstanding effect against someone weaker than itself.
It's like two Mortals competing in martial arts, both holding swords and both being made of flesh and blood.
But a true expert can mince you into meat paste while remaining unscathed.
The gap in strength between Medusa and the fire slave was far too obvious; the fire slave could only barely parry now.
It was only because her body was at the Dou Venerate level and had been significantly strengthened by the Netherworld Poison Flame.
If her body's strength were only at the Dou Zong level, she would have been dismantled by Medusa long ago.
After listening to Xiao Xue's suggestion, Medusa decisively gave up the sword and turned to using a long spear.
Her spear technique only advanced, never retreated!
Powerful output, in many cases, is equivalent to another form of defense!
—Just charge in and be done with it!
Why bother with defense? Once everyone is killed, who can strike me?
For a spear user, what's needed is this kind of momentum to pierce through to the end!
As her spear light swept past, the fire slave was completely unable to avoid it.
"Boom—"
The fire slave threw out a wall of fire, but it was directly torn apart by Medusa's spear light.
This spear strike landed solidly on the fire slave's left arm, causing it to become a bloody mess and leak pitch-black blood.
The blood dripped onto the ground, actually causing the soil to catch fire.
High in the sky, after swinging her spear, Medusa disappeared once more.
When she reappeared, she was unexpectedly less than ten meters behind the fire slave.
Although this fire slave had been refined by the Netherworld Poison Flame, she was not a Puppet that had completely lost consciousness.
Or rather, because the Netherworld Poison Flame had birthed a Fire Spirit, she also possessed some level of intelligence.
—She had a brain, but not much of one.
The fire slave had been trying to pull away from Medusa, but its retreat simply couldn't keep up with the other's advance.
As Medusa's next spear thrust went out, one side of the fire slave's cheek was sliced by the spear force, revealing the white bone beneath.
The wound at this location pierced through half of the fire slave's face!
Her originally exquisite and charming face instantly became hideous and ugly.
Pitch-black blood seeped from the wound, making this expressionless face look completely gruesome.
If her reaction had been even a fraction slower, her entire head might have exploded like a watermelon.
Without stopping for a moment, Medusa raised the long spear in her hand over her head and smashed it down fiercely!
———
Compared to the one-sided situation on Medusa's side, the battle on Xiao Xue's end was much more intense.
Person and cat fought back and forth.
With the support of two types of Heavenly Flames and her massive Soul Power, Xiao Xue barely managed a draw against the Fire Spirit of the Netherworld Poison Flame.
After another brief exchange, Xiao Xue pulled back, and the Fire Spirit also stared at her warily, not moving rashly.
Clearly, it also realized that the "food" before it was somewhat difficult to deal with.
After confronting each other for a long time, the hot-tempered Fire Spirit was the first to make a move.
Obviously, this Nether Spirit Cat was currently experiencing an explosion of appetite.
It wouldn't hold back just because the person in front of it had Charm 10 and was covered in thorns.
Therefore, after several failed attempts, this little cat was likely about to go all out.
Facing this cultivator who was like food in its eyes, the fire on the spirit cat's body surged, and it proactively moved forward.
The eerie green flames around its body directly blocked the moonlight in the sky.
"Finally couldn't hold back anymore..."
Xiao Xue took out several detoxification pills and tossed them all into her mouth, letting the Bone Chilling Flame move on its own to refine the medicinal power.
She herself did not dodge or avoid it, meeting the Fire Spirit head-on.
The spirit cat leaped upward, while Xiao Xue dove downward.
During this process, Xiao Xue switched from holding the sword with one hand to both hands.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Xue's jumping slash caused surging Sword Qi and Sword Intent to trace an astonishing arc through the dark night.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she rarely exuded the high-spiritedness and recklessness of a youth.
The Heavenly Flame longsword and the spirit cat's massive fiery claws clashed, and the violent aftershocks caused Xiao Xue's skin to split open in an instant.
The webs between her thumbs and index fingers on both hands split directly, turning into a bloody mess.
A bloodstain also appeared on her perfect face.
This bloodstain did not carry any sense of tragic beauty; on the contrary, it added a touch of determination.
"Now is the time!"
In an instant, Xiao Xue retracted the Heavenly Flame longsword and took out from her storage ring a... frozen eyeball!
