Ye Tian's heart jumped in alarm. The mont he saw the Paper Talisman in Murong Rufeng's hand, he shot to the side at top speed without the slightest hesitation. It was already too late to stop his opponent; all he could do was try to dodge.
Seeing Ye Tian dart to the side, Murong Rufeng laughed. "Ye Tian, still think you're going to survive this? You believe you can get away from my Bursting Fire Talisman unscathed? Dream on!
"The attack radius of this Bursting Fire Talisman is a hundred ters. The mont you stepped onto this Decisive Battlefield, your death was sealed. Did you really think I was begging for rcy? I was just biding my ti, waiting for you to lower your guard so I could land the killing blow.
Now, savor the feeling of being engulfed in flas! You want to kill ? You're not worthy."
Ye Tian's expression shifted. He knew how formidable the Bursting Fire Talisman was; if the War Dragon Remnant Soul hadn't protected him before, he would have died. 'But this ti,' he thought, 'the War Dragon Remnant Soul won't save again. And I don't want it to.'
He wanted to test the limits of his Divine Dragon Battle Body's Defense Power. He was confident he wouldn't die to this Bursting Fire Talisman.
Ye Tian rapidly circulated the Dragon Spiritual Power within his body. 'It's impossible to create an Energy Barrier. I'm not strong enough for that yet. My only hope is to use Sword Qi to disperse so of the flas when they hit .'
The Bursting Fire Talisman soared through the air, suddenly emitting a dazzling, fiery red light. The surrounding space began to warp violently. In the next instant, the talisman erupted into a raging inferno that surged toward Ye Tian.
Even if Ye Tian wanted to dodge now, he couldn't. It was as if his escape had been cut off from every direction; no matter where he moved, the flas would strike him.
Despite this, he remained perfectly calm. 'The more dangerous the situation, the calr I must be. Otherwise, I'm truly done for.'
At the last possible second, he slashed out with his Longsword, pouring all his strength into executing the Fifth Form of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.
A powerful stream of Sword Qi erupted from the Longsword, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently once more, as if it were about to shatter.
Now that he had broken through to the Second Vein Realm, the power of this attack was far greater than before. The Sword Qi shot toward the massive ball of fla.
The attack was quite effective, scattering the flas and reducing the inferno's size by nearly half. Nevertheless, the remaining fire still surged toward Ye Tian.
In the blink of an eye, it slamd into him, leaving him no room to dodge. A searing pain shot through Ye Tian's body.
The air filled with a CRACKLING sound, as if it were about to ignite. The temperature continued to climb, and the onlookers felt a scorching heatwave that forced them to back away.
"Brother Tian!" Ye Feifei shrieked the mont she saw Ye Tian engulfed in flas.
"Ye Tian!" Chu Hongyuan cried out, his heart clenching in terror. He knew all too well what the Bursting Fla could do—it was powerful enough to kill a Martial Artist of the Two Vein Realm. At his current Realm of One Vein Ninth Layer, Ye Tian was surely done for.
"Feifei, don't panic. Ye Tian will be fine," Qin Xiaowan said, comforting her. "My brother, Qin Lin, used a Bursting Fire Talisman on him before, and he ca out completely unhard. I'm sure he'll be okay this ti, too."
"Really? You're not just trying to make feel better?" Ye Feifei asked doubtfully. Still, she chose to believe Qin Xiaowan. After all, she had also been there at the Martial Arts Training Ground that day.
Her concern for Ye Tian's safety had caused the normally calm and collected girl to lose her composure.
Though excruciating pain wracked his body, Ye Tian remained calm. 'I have to get out of these flas,' he thought. But the fire seed to be clinging to him, making escape impossible.
At first, the flas were ferocious, and the pain was almost unbearable. But slowly, he realized the pain was fading. It seed he could now withstand the intense heat.
Ye Tian was ecstatic. 'This proves it,' he thought. 'My Divine Dragon Battle Body is working!' While it couldn't completely negate the fiery heat, it was enough to ensure his life was no longer in danger.
The crowd was stunned. They couldn't believe that the powerful Ye Tian would actually die to Murong Rufeng's Bursting Fire Talisman. It was such a pity. If anyone deserved to die, it was the despicable Murong Rufeng.
Worry was etched on Xiao Yaoyao's face. 'Ye Tian is the academy's most gifted student. If anything happens to him, Father will never forgive .'
She couldn't stop herself from wanting to rush onto the Decisive Battlefield to save him. But before she could move, Murong Rufeng's cousin spoke up. "Instructor Xiao, you're not planning to save that kid, are you? This is the Decisive Battlefield. You'd be breaking the rules."
His words left Xiao Yaoyao montarily at a loss. But thinking of Ye Tian's importance, she decided she had to save him, even if it ant breaking the rules.
"You have no right to question my actions!" she snapped, preparing to step onto the Decisive Battlefield.
But just then, Qin Xiaowan's voice reached her. "Instructor Xiao, Ye Tian will be fine. He's a monster; these flas can't hurt him. Just relax and watch!
Once the flas around him die down, it'll be that shaless Murong Rufeng's turn to die."
Xiao Yaoyao was startled. She shot a look at Qin Xiaowan. 'If she can say that so confidently, it must be true,' she reasoned. After all, both Qin Xiaowan and Ye Feifei were surprisingly calm.
The only explanation was that Ye Tian truly possessed so incredible ability. 'If his won aren't panicking, then there's no need for to, either.'
On the Decisive Battlefield, Murong Rufeng was roaring with laughter. Staring at the fla-shrouded figure of Ye Tian, he gloated, "You should feel honored to die by my hand! If you have to bla soone, bla yourself for crossing . Or better yet, bla yourself for having beauties like Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan.
You're not worthy! You're just a lowly ant! What right do you have to be with them!"
Ye Tian remained silent, focusing all his effort on circulating the Dragon Spiritual Power in his body. Only now was he truly experiencing the might of the Divine Dragon Battle Body.
He had been in the flas for so ti now, but aside from the initial burst of pain, they had done no further damage. It felt as if an invisible force was protecting him.
Ye Tian knew with certainty that it wasn't the War Dragon Remnant Soul helping him this ti. He was resisting with the full might of his own physical body. 'Maybe this is another way to increase my strength,' he mused. 'It's just a bit... unconventional and utterly insane.'
He could be incinerated at any mont, yet he was contemplating this. Perhaps only a genius like Ye Tian would have such an absurd idea...
