226: Chapter Fire Escape - Fire Kirin

Soon, Baili Ziyuan saw two figures rapidly approaching like phantoms on the rooftop. The figures were as swift as ghosts, arriving close by in the blink of an eye.

He didn't hide his figure but appeared directly in front of the two people.

The moment he appeared, the two people immediately stopped in their tracks.

"Who are you?" one of them asked, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a hint of vigilance.

The two had ugly faces and slanted eyes that made people feel uncomfortable, but at this moment, they were looking at Baili Ziyuan in front of them with extreme solemnity.

This was because the chilling aura emanating from Baili Ziyuan was like a malevolent spirit from Hell, sending shivers down one's spine.

This terrifying aura made them immediately realize that the person before them was by no means an ordinary character.

"Heh heh, naturally, I am the one who will kill you!"

Baili Ziyuan's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a cold smile, as if announcing the arrival of death.

Without any unnecessary words, the dark sickle in Baili Ziyuan's hand spun rapidly, flashing with cold light.

His entire being transformed into a black lightning bolt, lunging towards the two people at an astonishing speed.

"Arrogant fool!"

Seeing that Baili Ziyuan dared to look down on them like this, the two immediately became furious and also felt an unprecedented crisis.

They dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately launched their attack.

With a flick of their hands, hundreds of silver-white flying blades were shot out by them. Their speed was breathtaking, and one could only vaguely see a few white glints flashing through the air.

These flying blades were densely packed, forming a deadly net, not only attempting to block Baili Ziyuan's attack but also targeting all his vital points.

However, Baili Ziyuan was not afraid in the slightest. The sickle in his hand swung even faster, creating a black whirlwind that chopped down the flying blades one after another.

Baili Ziyuan's figure was nimble, like a ghost in the night, arriving close to the two people in the blink of an eye.

"Is this all you've got?"

Baili Ziyuan sneered, his voice carrying a hint of disdain. His speed suddenly increased, instantly closing in on one of the enemies like a ghost, the sickle drawing an arc of death across the night sky.

"No!"

Accompanied by an unwilling roar, the person's head instantly separated from their body, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

At the same time, a phantom god soul floated out from the severed neck, tightly hooked by that strange sickle.

The other enemy witnessed this scene and was terrified, his hair standing on end.

He hurriedly formed hand seals with his hands and muttered incantations. In the blink of an eye, he actually transformed into a wisp of green smoke and fled directly towards the distance.

However, how could Baili Ziyuan let him go so easily?

His figure began to blur, as if merging with the surrounding night.

In an instant, he had appeared behind the fleeing person like a ghost, the sickle in his hand silently held across the back of their neck.

"Dare to move another step, and I will kill you immediately!"

Baili Ziyuan's voice was bone-chillingly cold, as if from the Nine Nether Hells.

"Don't, don't kill me!"

His body began to tremble like chaff, his eyes filled with terror.

From their encounter to the fight, only a few seconds passed, and one was killed while the other was captured. The disparity in strength was self-evident.

"Whatever you want to know or do, this subordinate can help you. I only beg you not to kill me!"

The person's voice was full of pleading. Baili Ziyuan glanced at them with disdain and then asked sternly.

"Have you received any recent orders? Confess everything truthfully!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The person naturally dared not conceal anything and immediately told everything he knew.

"An order came from the Capital, telling us to guard strictly and to immediately report and contact the Capital if we encounter anything unusual.

It also said to completely repel the Sea Beasts within ten days and then use the strength of the entire country to clear out those so-called evil spirits."

"Heh heh, using the strength of the entire country? That's quite ambitious!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and swiped, and another phantom god soul was hooked out.

However, this god soul showed an extremely resentful expression, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, trying to grab at Baili Ziyuan.

However, on this sickle, he and the previous god soul were like eggplants hit by frost, not only powerless but also rapidly starting to fade.

Finally, they turned into two faint green lights that flew into his body, which made his aura a little more profound.

Baili Ziyuan showed a look of intoxication. After a moment, he opened his eyes, "If I had another seventy or eighty god souls like these, it should help me break through."

Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation in the sky. A colossal fire python suddenly condensed into form, appearing substantial, emitting scorching heat and a terrifying aura.

It coiled in the air, like a fierce beast ready to strike at any moment, and then pounced directly towards Baili Ziyuan below with the momentum of a fierce tiger descending a mountain.

At the same time, a voice full of brutality and evil rang out.

"Hmph, I didn't expect someone would dare to trespass on this Lord's territory. You're simply seeking death."

As the voice fell, a fat man with a face full of flesh stepped out from the void. He stared at Baili Ziyuan with disdain, his eyes glinting with brutal light.

However, facing the incoming fire python, Baili Ziyuan showed no fear.

He gripped the jet-black sickle tightly in his hand. A mysterious gray aura was wrapped around the blade, as if it possessed the power to devour everything.

Just as the fire python was about to get close, he swung the sickle, meeting the fire python directly with a fierce gust of wind.

"Boom!" The two collided, producing an earth-shattering roar.

The fire python was forcefully split into two sections, turning into countless sparks that scattered.

Baili Ziyuan, on the other hand, used the force of the rebound to retreat a few steps, creating distance and stabilizing his figure.

Seeing this, the fat man's expression changed slightly. He clearly hadn't expected Baili Ziyuan to break his attack so easily.

But he didn't stop there. With a wave of his hands, the power on his body completely erupted, causing the heavens and earth to tremble in an instant.

"Interesting, to be able to block this Lord's attack as a Martial Grandmaster. It seems you're not simple either."

A cautious glint flashed in the fat man's eyes, "Which of the Eight Great Families are you from?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Baili Ziyuan saw the person in the sky looking somewhat cautious and wary and immediately burst into laughter, "No need to worry, and no need to probe. This King is not one of you filthy Sakura Country people!"

"It seems you are the one causing trouble recently, the so-called Nether King!"

A sharp glint flashed in the fat man's eyes, "But that's fine too. It's perfect to capture you and go claim credit. It can be considered a double blessing, hahahahaha!"

The fat man said with a wild laugh, not concealing his disdain and greed towards Baili Ziyuan in the slightest.

"Fire Release - Fire Qilin!"

In an instant, flames surged in the void, and a massive Fire Qilin emerged. It opened its huge mouth and roared as it charged towards Baili Ziyuan.
