71: Beautiful lotus

"Buddha's Angry Flame Lotus?"

Abbess Miejue's brows were tightly furrowed, and her already sharp old face was filled with confusion and impatience.

What is that?

She had never heard of it!

She had roamed the Jianghu for decades, what divine skills and unique martial arts had she not seen? What strange weapons had she not heard of?

This boy, on the verge of death, still dared to act mysterious here?!

"Hmph! Playing tricks!"

Abbess Miejue's patience, in the face of endless greed, had long been exhausted.

She was too lazy to speak any more nonsense, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent!

"This old nun will first capture you, this Devil Head, then study your evil methods!"

Clang!

The air throughout the Emei Golden Summit seemed to be sucked out and solidified in that instant!

The Heaven Sword in her hand, gleaming with cold light, let out a clear sword cry, transforming into a shocking rainbow of death.

However, facing this thunderous strike that was enough to make heaven and earth change color.

Xiao Huohuo didn't even lift his eyelids.

He just casually glanced at Master Abbess Jingxuan, the current Sect Head of the Emei Sect, not far away, and a playful smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey."

His voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears.

"That..."

"I'm kindly reminding you to quickly take your Emei Sect people and scram, the further you run, the better."

"If you all die later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

How arrogant! How presumptuous!

Master Abbess Jingxuan wanted to ask more when she heard this.

But the next moment, she could no longer ask.

Because she saw it.

Above Xiao Huohuo's palm, a lotus flower, about the size of a palm, formed by the intertwining, spiraling, and condensing of two bizarre flames, one blue and one red, was slowly rotating.

That lotus was intoxicatingly beautiful.

Yet it also emitted an aura of destruction that was enough to make all things wither and even the Divine Soul tremble!

"Buzz—!"

The moment that blue and red flame lotus appeared, Master Abbess Jingxuan felt as if her heart was tightly gripped by an invisible large hand and fiercely squeezed!

An indescribable palpitation surged wildly from the depths of her Soul!

That was not an illusion!

That was... a premonition of death!

"Quick!"

Master Abbess Jingxuan's reaction was extremely fast!

She didn't even have time to think; the bone-deep sense of crisis had already made her make the most instinctive judgment!

"All Emei Disciples, listen to my command!"

"Quickly descend the mountain! Run as far as you can! Don't look back!"

She let out an extremely terrified scream, her voice already distorted!

Before her words finished, her figure swayed, and she had already appeared beside the heavily injured and unconscious Cloud Mirage, embracing her. Without thinking, she unleashed her light-body skill to the extreme, transforming into an afterimage, rushing down the mountain like crazy!

Her speed was faster than a fleeing rabbit!

The rest of the Emei Disciples, although they still hadn't figured out the situation, seeing their own Sect Head so frightened, how could they dare to hesitate for a moment?

One by one, their faces turned pale, scrambling, screaming, crying, following like a flock of frightened quails, desperately running down the mountain.

The entire Emei Golden Summit instantly turned into a chaotic mess!

"A bunch of idiots!"

Abbess Miejue was so angry that she almost cursed out loud on the spot when she saw this.

Although she also felt a trace of heat and palpitation from that bizarre flame lotus.

But, greed!

The endless greed for that unknown evil method and divine means had completely swallowed her last shred of sanity!

In her opinion, this was nothing more than Xiao Huohuo's bluffing trick!

"Boy! Die!"

She no longer hesitated in the slightest. Her Heavenly Human Realm Middle Stage cultivation was pushed to the extreme, and the Heaven Sword in her hand transformed into a Sword Qi that tore through the sky, intending to slice Xiao Huohuo, along with the "flashy" lotus in his hand, into pieces!

Looking at Abbess Miejue, who was charging forward like a mad demon, fearless of death.

Xiao Huohuo's face finally showed a hint of pity.

"Alas."

He let out a soft sigh.

"Since you want to die so much..."

"Then, I shall grant your wish."

He bent his finger and gently flicked the blue and red flame lotus slowly rotating in his palm.

"Go."

"Buddha's Angry Flame Lotus."

The flame lotus left his hand and grew with the wind!

Initially, it was only the size of a palm.

But the next instant, it had already transformed into a millstone!

Another instant, it was as huge as a house!

It floated unhurriedly, carrying a terrifying pressure capable of incinerating all things, towards Abbess Miejue, who was approaching with an unparalleled sword momentum.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Space seemed to be twisted inch by inch under the pressure of this lotus flower.

On Abbess Miejue's old face, which was covered with greed and ferocity, finally, an extreme fear and... despair appeared, which she had never experienced in her entire life!

She wanted to retreat!

She wanted to escape!

But her body seemed to be firmly bound by an irresistible mighty force; even moving a little finger became a luxury!

She could only watch helplessly as that lotus of death grew larger and larger in her pupils...

The next instant.

There was no sound.

Or rather, when the sound reached its extreme, it became absolute silence.

An indescribably huge mushroom cloud rose explosively from the Emei Golden Summit!

A world-destroying shockwave swept in all directions!

The entire Mount Emei trembled and groaned violently under this power!

Light!

Endless white light!

Heat!

Terrifying high temperatures capable of instantly vaporizing steel!

When the light and heat slowly dissipated.

The Emei Golden Summit... was gone.

That female Daoist sect that had stood for nearly a thousand years, along with all the palaces, pavilions, and archways on it...

All of them were cleanly and completely wiped away from the mountain body!

Leaving behind only a terrifyingly huge depression with edges as smooth as a mirror!

As if it had never existed.

As for Abbess Miejue, who had once awed the Jianghu for decades... she evaporated on the spot.

Down the mountain.

Master Abbess Jingxuan, who had already escaped, felt the world-destroying fluctuations behind her and the terrifying mushroom cloud soaring into the sky. She could no longer support herself, her legs went soft, and she collapsed to the ground.

She stared blankly back at Mount Emei, which had become "bald."
