1868 Take for One’s Own
A strange change happened!
As everything happened too suddenly, San San wasn’t prepared at all. When he reacted, that fire had already turned into a fire whip that clutched onto his wrist tightly. Following this, a great amount of force pulled him toward the barrier!
He couldn’t even gasp in shock as his entire person was rapidly dragged into that translucent barrier!
Chu Liuyue’s eyes narrowed. Without thinking, she immediately went forward!
!!
Almost at the same time, Rong Xiu followed her!
Coincidentally, two fires spiraled over at the same time!
The two fires clutched the duo’s bodies and later dragged them in as well!
The duo’s figures disappeared very quickly.
Ripples appeared on the barrier, and it rapidly returned to normal. It was as if nothing had happened.
All the spectators were stunned. W-what just happened?! The strange fire actually dragged those three people into the barrier forcefully?
Mo Yun immediately knitted his brows. He moved his feet and was about to go forward!
At the side, someone hurriedly advised, “Deputy Sect Master, do consider it again! That fire and barrier are very dangerous. You mustn’t go over hastily!”
It wasn’t like something similar did not happen previously. Some people tried to enter the barrier, but they were taken by the fire and were directly burned to death. This was also why so many people were watching, but nobody dared to go forward casually.
The previous bloody lesson happened right in front of the crowd’s eyes! The only difference was that these people were outside the barrier and were already burned to death by the fire, yet San San and the rest were brought into the barrier and disappeared without a trace.
Mo Yun stopped in his tracks, and conflict flashed across his eyes. He instinctively felt that something was amiss but wasn’t very certain of it, so he was rather hesitant.
“Deputy Sect Master, no matter what, Boss San is the owner of that small space. Since this fire came from the same source, perhaps… he has another way to protect his life inside!”
Seeing that he seemed to have faltered, the people below hurriedly advised him again.
Mo Yun thought for a moment and looked up again.
With this look, he realized that something was wrong.
The barrier was clearly translucent previously, but after San San and the rest were dragged in, they couldn’t see their figures at all! Even the scene inside had completely disappeared!
One had to know that they could previously see the peak of Blue Peak that was trapped inside!
At this point, the translucent barrier seemed to be covered by a faint layer of mist, covering everything inside!
Mo Yun’s face turned completely cold. “Continue waiting!”
…
It wasn’t only the people from the Black Sword Sect waiting. The surrounding crowd had also started their long and torturous wait.
As they couldn’t see what was going on inside, time passed in a very boring and torturous fashion.
If they personally saw San San and the rest dead, they wouldn’t have to continue thinking. However, the current situation was different.
After those people entered the barrier, the entire barrier changed significantly. One couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Mo Yun stared closely at it as low discussions sounded from the surroundings.
“…This fire is too strange, right?! It actually became like this?”
“I think it seems amiss as well… Could it be that Boss San did something to it?”
“I don’t think so, right? I saw that he was also attacked by the fire previously, and when he was dragged in, he was shocked. It did not seem fake.”
“Yeah! Didn’t they say that he had always been in the Black Sword Sect previously? In such a short amount of time, he can’t do anything either, right?”
Mo Yun stood with one hand behind his back as he gradually clenched his fist.
…
Chu Liuyue just felt that the burning fire trapped her tightly, and a squeezing force suddenly attacked her as if something was pressing on her.
Then, the heavy force disappeared. The tightness disappeared, and that fire flung her forward.
She rapidly reacted. Just as she was about to take action, an iron arm had already clutched her waist.
She felt secure.
The next moment, Rong Xiu had already landed smoothly on the ground while holding her.
Chu Liuyue looked up at her surroundings.
This was still Blue Peak, but… it seemed rather different from before.
“Master! Your Highness! Are you okay?!” San San couldn’t react in time and fell into the mud. However, he only suffered some abrasions and no major injuries.
Seeing that Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu had followed over, he hurriedly stood up and limped over.
Chu Liuyue shook her head. “It’s nothing. That fire has no intentions of harming anyone.”
Upon seeing that they were indeed fine, San San then relaxed. “Yeah! I don’t know what’s going on either…”
He loosened his wrist, and a faint red mark from the burn appeared on it.
To outsiders, the previous scene was shocking and dangerous. But in actual fact, the fire was controlled extremely well and didn’t actually hurt them.
San San was grateful and doubtful. He turned around to look. “How did you come in?”
Upon deeper thought, that fire seemed to have done it on purpose…
Chu Liuyue said, “Perhaps… it’s still because of you and your space…”
Before she finished her sentence, she suddenly paused as she knitted her brows and looked up.
The originally translucent barrier now presented itself in a pale white color. This color… seemed extremely similar to the one in the space…
“This fire is absorbing Heaven and Earth Force.”
...
Rong Xiu’s sentence caused Chu Liuyue and San San to be taken aback. “What?”
Chu Liuyue was filled with curiosity when she saw Rong Xiu staring at the burning fire not far away from the barrier.
There was a faint yet unignorable aura moving in the surroundings.
The invisible air currents seemed to surge toward that burning fire. Following that, the fire’s aura seemed to strengthen at an observable speed!
Chu Liuyue’s pupils narrowed. That fire is indeed absorbing Heaven and Earth Force and turning it into its own strength!
“How…” Chu Liuyue was very shocked. How did this happen? I can understand if it were cultivators or fiends swallowing the Heaven and Earth Force. Other than this, some precious herbs also need nourishment from the force to grow, so this is normal. But… I have never heard that there is a type of fire in this world that can absorb Heaven and Earth Force to use on its own!
