Ye Qing and several others had already rushed to the entrance of the cave. At the cave's entrance, everyone hesitated slightly. After all, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was inside the cave, and rushing in blindly would be extrely dangerous.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Ye Qing knew what they were thinking. He imdiately opened an oil can he had with him and poured gasoline all over the ground outside.
"Zi Yu, watch carefully!" Ye Qing transmitted his voice to Huangfu Ziyu. "When we co out, light the fire imdiately—not a second too soon or too late!"
Huangfu Ziyu's eyes flashed with a hint of pain. She was very reluctant to let Ye Qing take such a risk. However, she finally nodded because she knew that with Broom Star inside, Ye Qing would inevitably have to go in.
Taking a deep breath, he exchanged a glance with the others and they simultaneously rushed into the cave.
The cave was not deep, only a dozen ters. However, it had a bend inside, so it wasn't until they passed this bend that they could see the situation inside the cave clearly.
At the end of the cave, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was covered in purple flas, now reduced by seventy to eighty percent, with less than twenty percent left burning on its body. Its hands were reaching out towards the top of Broom Star's head, the purple fla forming a column that transferred to Broom Star's body. At this ti, Broom Star was enveloped completely in purple flas, burning intensely.
Broom Star sat cross-legged in the flas, and the purple flas around him resembled one purple lotus after another, wrapping around him. In the midst of the burning flas, Broom Star did not seem to feel any pain. Instead, his face appeared serene like water, sitting cross-legged with a face full of wisdom, like an enlightened monk.
Seeing Broom Star like this, everyone was clearly taken aback. Especially the Wolf Monk, who was utterly stunned; Broom Star's appearance was truly beyond his expectations.
As everyone rushed into the cave, it seed as if the Corpse Ghost Dragon was completely unaware, still striving to transfer the purple flas from its body to Broom Star's. Behind it, Shen Qianyue, Luan Ping, and others were almost pressed against the wall, none daring to move an inch forward. They had called out to the Corpse Ghost Dragon several tis just now without waking it and had no idea what was happening, so they could only hide in the back.
Despite seeing Broom Star's calm deanor, Ye Qing was enraged. Broom Star was just a child, and the Corpse Ghost Dragon dared to burn him with this fire; such a cri was simply heinous!
"Corpse Ghost Dragon, you deserve to die!" Ye Qing roared angrily, took a step forward, and struck towards the Corpse Ghost Dragon.
The Corpse Ghost Dragon seed to be in a ditative trance, neither dodging nor evading, and it took Ye Qing's strike head-on. However, with the Corpse Ghost Dragon's Human-shaped Gu body, not even Ye Qing, nor Shen Tianjun's group, could harm it in the slightest. But Ye Qing, having rushed too close, was burned by the Purple Lotus Karma Fire, wrenching his face in pain; the burning pain from the Purple Lotus Karma Fire was unbearable.
Feeling this pain made Ye Qing even more worried about Broom Star. If he, an adult, couldn't endure this pain, how could Broom Star, in the midst of it, possibly bear it?
After a couple more punches, the Corpse Ghost Dragon still showed no reaction. At this point, Shen Tianjun and several others had already rushed up, hurriedly stopping Ye Qing.
"His body has beco a Human-shaped Gu, and without a few key Fad Instrunts, he can't be hard!" Shen Tianjun pulled Ye Qing back and said in a somber tone, "We can't kill him; let's rescue the child before he wakes up!"
Ye Qing finally ca to his senses. Looking at Broom Star, whose body was covered in Purple Lotus Karma Fire, he gritted his teeth, suddenly removing his coat and throwing it directly over Broom Star. Initially, he wanted to use the coat to extinguish the flas, but when the coat covered Broom Star, the flas passed right through without damaging the coat at all, and the flas remained unchanged, which left Ye Qing sowhat astonished.
"What's going on?" Ye Qing asked in surprise.
"The Purple Lotus Karma Fire probably has no physical form." Shen Tianjun said in a low voice, "Otherwise, why haven't the flas on the Corpse Ghost Dragon been extinguished after so long?"
Ye Qing looked at the Corpse Ghost Dragon, then at Broom Star, clenched his teeth, took out Silver Silkworm Thread from his body, wrapped it around Broom Star, and forcefully pulled him to his side. As Broom Star was pulled closer, the Purple Lotus Karma Fire also drew nearer to Ye Qing, causing him to stifle a groan from the burning pain.
"Ye Qing, don't bring him near you; the Purple Lotus Karma Fire will burn you!" Helian Tiehua urgently cautioned, having been burned by the Purple Lotus Karma Fire before and knowing well its power.
Shen Tianjun walked past Ye Qing, originally intending to take the opportunity to kill Shen Qianyue and Luan Ping behind him. Who knew, just as he took a step forward, the ever-still Corpse Ghost Dragon suddenly opened its eyes and roared, "Who dares to ruin my plans!"
The crowd originally thought the Corpse Ghost Dragon could no longer perceive external happenings, so they dared to act boldly inside. Unexpectedly, when the Corpse Ghost Dragon suddenly woke up, it startled everyone.
"Run!" Ning Qianshu, standing at the back, shouted, turning around to run first.
Naturally, the others dared not linger either, and they all turned and fled, sprinting madly out of the cave. Fortunately, although the Corpse Ghost Dragon woke up, it did not imdiately attack, so everyone was not held there.
Ye Qing used the Silver Silkworm Thread to pull Broom Star as he ran out. However, after a few steps, he felt it was too slow. Seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon moving from behind, he gritted his teeth, rushed forward, and picked up Broom Star to run straight out.
Helian Tiehua, watching from the side, widened his eyes in astonishnt, "Ye Qing, you..."
Helian Tiehua has tasted the pain of being burned by the Purple Lotus Karma Fire, so he knows how intense it is. But now, Ye Qing holds Broom Star, engulfed in Purple Lotus Karma Fire, in his arms. This is the closest contact with the Purple Lotus Karma Fire. Who could withstand such pain? Is Ye Qing really going all out?
After picking up Broom Star, Ye Qing felt as if his body no longer belonged to him. Every nerve of pain in his body was stimulated. The piercing pain made Ye Qing couldn't help but scream loudly, the sound was tragic, like a trapped beast. However, he never let go, holding Broom Star tightly, running out of the cave.
At this mont, the Corpse Ghost Dragon behind them finally woke up completely, accelerated towards the cave entrance, and roared, "Can you run away?"
Ye Qing rushed out of the cave holding Broom Star, with Shen Tianjun, Helian Tiehua, and the masked elder backing him up from behind. Seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon chasing, Shen Tianjun and the masked elder once again joined forces, casting a Karmic Retribution, an endless cycle, enveloping the Corpse Ghost Dragon midair.
"Petty trick!" the Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted angrily, without dodging, charged straight up, getting enveloped by the force. However, it only trapped him for less than two seconds before he broke free and charged towards the cave entrance again.
By this ti, Shen Tianjun and others had also rushed out of the cave. Seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon breaking free so quickly, both Shen Tianjun and the masked elder changed their expressions. They knew the power of this move well, but the Corpse Ghost Dragon's strength was truly too formidable?
Just as the Corpse Ghost Dragon was about to charge out of the cave entrance, a fla suddenly swept over from the side, landing on the ground at the cave entrance. When Ye Qing arrived earlier, he had sprinkled gasoline on the ground. As the fla hit the ground, the gasoline ignited with a blast, forming a wall of fire at the cave entrance, blocking the Corpse Ghost Dragon inside.
"Hmph, my human-shaped Gu is impervious to swords, guns, and fire, and a wall of fire still intends to trap ?" the Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted, swiftly charging towards this side.
"Purple Lotus Flower!" Ye Qing shouted, suddenly scattering a handful of powder onto the flas, instantly turning the fire purple.
Seeing this purple fla, the Corpse Ghost Dragon seed to have seen a ghost, imdiately turning around and retreating, not daring to approach the purple flas a bit. Because this purple fire appeared identical to the Purple Lotus Karma Fire that had once burned him. He had suffered greatly before due to the Purple Lotus Karma Fire and avoided it like the plague. Now seeing the purple fire again, his first thought was to turn and flee.
However, after taking just two steps, the Corpse Ghost Dragon stopped. Turning his head, he looked at the purple flas in confusion and suddenly shouted, "Ye Qing, do you think you can scare just by conjuring so purple flas? How rare is the Purple Lotus Flower; An Shiping sohow managed to get so, but I don't believe you could obtain it!"
"If you don't believe it, why not co and try!" Ye Qing shouted from outside, "If you don't dare to charge out, then we'll leave now!"
The Corpse Ghost Dragon stared at the purple flas for a long ti, ultimately daring not to approach. Having been burned by the Purple Lotus Karma Fire for such a long ti, he was unwilling to touch it again. Although he suspected the flas were fake, he dared not to try it rashly. After much difficulty removing nearly ninety percent of the Purple Lotus Karma Fire from himself, if the fire were to burn him again, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
"Hmph, why should I rush out and try? Even if it is the real Purple Lotus Karma Fire, if it doesn't reach people, it won't last long," the Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted. "Once the flas burn out, I can still walk out. Once I do, I will definitely personally kill you!"
No one answered from outside; everyone had already left with Broom Star, not one dared to linger. In fact, as the Corpse Ghost Dragon suspected, the Purple Lotus Karma Fire was indeed fake. They rely used this fake Purple Lotus Karma Fire to deceive the Corpse Ghost Dragon. This thing certainly couldn't stop him. However, holding him off for a while with the fake Purple Lotus Karma Fire was enough for them to get down the mountain and drive away.
