91: Chapter 91: The Spirit of Earth Fire

It resembled a chicken, but its body was several times larger than an ordinary chicken, and its feathers were like burning flames, with golden light flowing.

There were three long feathers at its tail, each carrying colorful flowing light.

On top of its head was a tuft of silly hair, trembling rhythmically, looking somewhat... adorably silly?

Yet those eyes were like two tiny suns, emitting a soul-stirring radiance.

"This is..." Someone gasped, "An ancient Divine Beast, Golden Crow?!"

"That's not right!" Su Ruotong stared at the spirit entity for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke, "This is not a Golden Crow!"

Everyone looked at her.

Su Ruotong was a Disciple of Jade Maiden Palace Dan Peak, dealing with Alchemy year-round, and her understanding of flames and spiritual objects far exceeded ordinary people.

She stared at that spirit entity and slowly said: "This is... Earth Fire Spirit!"

"Earth Fire Spirit?" Ye Qingcen was puzzled.

Su Ruotong quickly explained: "The earth fire used for Alchemy absorbs medicinal Qi and medicinal power day after day and year after year. Over time, if it develops spiritual awareness, it will transform into this kind of spirit entity! The flames on its body are the fire of the earth's core; the medicinal fragrance it emits is proof of having absorbed countless Medicinal Pills!"

Speaking of this, she looked at those Spirit Medicines, as well as the entire medicinal garden, and she vaguely understood why no Spirit Medicines could be seen here.

The Spirit Medicines here were probably already completely absorbed by this Earth Fire Spirit!

As for the remaining few Spirit Medicines over ten thousand years old, either they grew automatically from Spirit Medicine seeds later on, or these Spirit Medicines were not favored by this Earth Fire Spirit to swallow.

Moreover, among them, those few Phoenix tail grasses belonged to fire-attribute Spirit Medicines. Reaching over ten thousand years, they could already compare with spiritual objects. Didn't you see that Fire Spirit just came out of that hundred-thousand-year-old Phoenix tail grass.

It... was probably treating that Phoenix tail grass as its dwelling place.

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, and at this moment, they also smelled a rich medicinal fragrance... Indeed!

On that spirit entity's body, there was indeed a trace of medicinal fragrance, mixed with the scorching aura of flames.

"Care what kind of spirit it is!" Jing Country's Late Foundation Establishment Stage sneered, "A Peak Foundation Establishment spirit entity, with so many of us, are we still afraid of it?"

Before his voice fell!

"Chiu——!"

That spirit entity emitted a sharp cry, like a Phoenix crying through the Nine Heavens!

Spreading its wings, it transformed into a golden flowing light, rushing towards everyone once again!

This time, the speed was faster, and the momentum was fiercer!

"Attack!"

Jing Country's Late Foundation Establishment Stage took the lead, sacrificing a High Grade Spiritual Artifact long sword, sword radiance flashing, directly stabbing at the spirit entity!

His two companions also attacked at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, sealing off the spirit entity's retreat route!

Yinluo Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivator had black mist rolling around his body, and with a palm strike, he carried a thick bloody Evil Qi!

Su Ruotong gritted her teeth, shouting to Ye Qingcen and the two Junior Sisters: "Attack together! Otherwise we will all die!"

Her long sword was unsheathed, sword light like a rainbow, and she also joined the battle group!

Ye Qingcen followed closely behind. Although she was injured, her sword momentum remained fierce!

Although those two Jade Maiden Palace Qi Refining Disciples were scared, they also knew that not fighting desperately meant death, so they gritted their teeth and urged their Magical Artifacts to assist from the side!

For a time, sword lights and blade shadows, Spells roaring, surrounded that spirit entity tightly!

But that spirit entity's speed was shockingly fast!

Like a golden lightning bolt, it fluttered up and down in the air, dodging attacks perfectly every time.

Occasionally counterattacking, a mouthful of golden flames spewed out, forcing everyone to dodge in a sorry state.

"Ah——!"

With a miserable cry, a Jing Country Middle Stage Cultivator failed to dodge in time, his arm was burned by the golden flame, and his entire arm instantly turned charred black! He retreated screaming, not daring to step forward ever again.

"Dammit! This thing is too fast!" Jing Country's Late Foundation Establishment Stage roared.

Yinluo Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivator seized the opportunity to go behind the spirit entity and struck its back with a palm!

Puff!

The spirit entity's figure swayed, but with a backhand claw, it directly left three blood marks on his chest! The wound was so deep that bones were visible, and blood sprayed wildly!

"Hiss——!" Yinluo Sect's Cultivator gasped, staggering back.

Su Ruotong and Ye Qingcen joined forces, their sword lights intertwining into a net, finally forcing the spirit entity to reveal a flaw!

"Right now!" Su Ruotong shouted delicately, stabbing her sword towards the spirit entity's abdomen!

The spirit entity suddenly turned around and spewed a mouthful of golden flames at Su Ruotong!

Su Ruotong's expression changed drastically, desperately circulating her Qi to protect her body——

Boom!

The flame crashed onto the protective spiritual light, and Su Ruotong was blasted flying, vomiting blood, and falling to the ground!

"Senior Sister!" Ye Qingcen exclaimed, wanting to rescue her, but was forced back by a claw of the spirit entity!

Those two Jade Maiden Palace Qi Refining Disciples were even more frightened and turned to run, but were overtaken by a stream of flames from the spirit entity.

Although they tried their best and urged their Qi to protect their bodies, they still both screamed miserably, blown away by the powerful recoil force, their clothes burned to tatters by the scorching flames.

In the blink of an eye, of the seven people surrounding the attack, five were heavily injured, leaving only Jing Country's Late Foundation Establishment Stage and Yinluo Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivator still struggling to support themselves!

Xiao Yuan pulled Su Li, retreating far to the side.

Su Li anxiously asked: "Are we not going to help?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, his gaze calm: "Let's watch first, no rush!"

He had no interest in accompanying these people to fight to the death; it would be best if both sides perished together. Of course, he did not want Su Ruotong and Ye Qingcen to get into trouble.

However, even so, he would not help the Cultivators of Jing Country and Yinluo Sect, waiting for them to fight to the death to solve that spirit entity.

I'm afraid those few people would turn around and deal with him.

Not to mention, that spirit entity caused a tremor in the creation cauldron, although it was not the suction force generated previously.

But this kind of tremor made him discover a problem, which was that under every vibration of the creation cauldron, that Golden Crow-like spirit entity's sun-like eyes seemed to surge with intense dread.

He had a guess that as long as he sacrificed the creation cauldron, he could definitely easily suppress that spirit entity. But why should he expose his trump card for those people!

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, Jing Country's Late Foundation Establishment Stage had been driven to a desperate situation.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out a blood-colored Medicinal Pill from his embrace, and stuffed it into his mouth!

Instantly, the Qi on his body surged violently, unexpectedly temporarily boosting to Peak Foundation Establishment!

"Die for me!"

With a single sword slash, his sword radiance surged by three Zhang, directly hacking towards the spirit entity!

The spirit entity shrieked, its figure turning into a golden light, crashing forcefully into that sword radiance!

Boom——!

An earth-shattering loud sound!

The sword radiance shattered, the spirit entity flew backwards, and the golden light on its body dimmed by a few fractions.

But Jing Country's Late Foundation Establishment Stage also spat out a mouthful of blood, the long sword in his hand shattered inch by inch, and his whole body collapsed languidly on the ground.

"Quick... quickly kill it..." he shouted weakly.

But no one could move anymore.

Yinluo Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivator collapsed to the ground with heavy injuries, and Su Ruotong and Ye Qingcen couldn't get up either.

The spirit entity slowly flew up. Although the golden light on its body was dim, those eyes were still burning hot.

It scanned the battlefield in a circle, and finally, its gaze landed on Xiao Yuan's body.

"Chiu?"

It tilted its head, the silly hair on top shaking back and forth, a trace of hesitation flashing in its eyes.
