Chapter 407

Zhang Xiaohua waved her right hand and a light red object shot towards the old man like an arrow.

The old man had already raised his vigilance by a hundred times. He was afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would use some unexpected method. Although the short sword in his hand was aimed at Zhang Xiaohua, he did not use all of his strength. He was just waiting to see how Zhang Xiaohua would react.

At this moment, when he saw that Zhang Xiaohua actually chose to throw a hidden weapon, he could not help but laugh in his heart: "This youngster is still inexperienced."

Although the hidden weapon emitted a light red color under the light, it must be a highly toxic item. The old man naturally could not let it get close to him. The short sword that was aimed at Zhang Xiaohua was slightly deflected and directly hit towards the light. In the blink of an eye, it hit the hidden weapon that was flying towards him.

The old man felt the short sword sink and an abundant force hit the short sword. The short sword in his hand could not help but tilt to the side. The old man was astonished: "The force contained in this hidden weapon is too frightening."

Just as he thought about it, he heard a "kacha" sound in his ears. The concealed weapon that came into contact with the dagger actually broke apart. At this moment, the old man finally saw the concealed weapon that was blocked in front of his chest by his dagger and was breaking apart.

"Jade talisman!?" The old man exclaimed and his eyes immediately narrowed.

At this moment, a ball of fire the size of a wicker basket suddenly appeared from the broken jade talisman. Although the jade talisman was blocked by the short sword, the ball of fire followed the inertia and quickly flew towards the old man's chest.

Although the ball of fire was small, in the old man's heart, it might not be able to hurt him. However, it was not good to attract fire to himself. Therefore, the old man raised his left hand and held Zhang Xiaohua's short sword in his hand and slashed towards the ball of fire. However, the short sword slashed through the air and could not stop the ball of fire at all. The old man had no choice but to use his inner energy and covered the ball of fire with his right sleeve, wanting to extinguish the ball of fire.

Unfortunately, things went far beyond his expectations. Although the inner energy in his right hand was surging, if it was a normal flame, it would have been extinguished long ago. However, this wicker basket of fire with inner energy seemed to have added fuel to it. It suddenly increased in size and immediately lit the old man's sleeve on fire. Then, it burned the old man's right hand.

A piercing pain came from his right hand and he almost lost his grip on the short sword. The old man did not dare to be negligent. He clenched his teeth and tried to use his inner energy to control the short sword. At the same time, he quickly used his left hand to slap the flame on his right sleeve.

It would have been better if he did not slap it..............

..... it was his left hand.....

A flame also ignited in his left hand.

The short sword in the old man's hand was also burning.

That old man's eyes flashed with fear and he no longer cared about the short sword and small sword in his hands. He kept slapping left and right in an attempt to extinguish the strange flame. Only to hear a clanging sound. The old man's short sword was burning and fell to the ground. Zhang Xiaohua's small sword was still jet black in colour. It fell from the old man's hand and just as it was out of the old man's control, it seemed to have a life of its own. It raised the tip of the sword and flew towards Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to catch it and casually held it in her hand. She stood not too far away with her eyes sparkling. No one knew what she was thinking!

Just as the small sword flew back to Zhang Xiaohua's hand, there was a new change on the old man's side.

The bronze masked old man was also an ambitious and ruthless person. When he saw that his hands were on fire and he was unable to extinguish the flame and that the flame was burning up his arms, he could not help but have the idea of sacrificing the rook to save the king. But when he looked down at the ground, the small sword that had just fallen to the ground had been burnt by the flame until only a short sword tip was left. Even the ground had been burnt into a small pit.

This fire, what kind of fire was it?

"True Samadhi Fire?" The old man's mind immediately flashed with a popular name from the legends of the past.

Since the small sword was gone, the old man's eyes flashed with a look of desperation. He raised his left hand and was about to land it on his right arm when he lost all feeling in his left hand!

At this moment, both of the old man's hands had been burnt off!

Even if the old man wanted to sacrifice both of his arms to save his own life, that was an extravagant hope.

Seeing that the flame had already reached his shoulders, the incomparable pain caused the old man to howl like a wild beast. The eyes under the bronze mask shot out a maniacal light. The old man exerted strength in his feet and suddenly pounced towards Zhang Xiaohua who was not too far away.

It seemed that he had not given up and wanted to pass the flame onto Zhang Xiaohua's body.

How could Zhang Xiaohua let him have his way? Seeing the old man pouncing towards her, she immediately used the Ethereal Steps and skimmed towards the corner of the hall. Nonsense, even if she was not afraid of the flame, there was no need to let the old man get close to her right?

Moreover, this hall was filled with innocent girls. If they were to be burnt by the flame, it would not be good. Taking advantage of the fact that the old man had not come to his senses, it would be better to lead him far away.

The old man was also blinded by hatred as he blindly chased after Zhang Xiaohua.

But by the time he reached the corner of the hall, the flame on the old man's body had already reached his chest and face. The bronze mask on his head had also begun to show signs of melting.

At this moment, the heart tearing pain had already caused the old man's mind to be in a mess. How could he still remember to chase after his enemy. He was in so much pain that he laid on the ground and rolled left and right.

A tragic cry resounded throughout the entire underground hall!

It was so tragic that it was unbearable to look at.

"Ai."

Zhang Xiaohua let out a soft sigh as her hands formed a seal. The small sword flew out like a spirit snake and pounced towards the old man who was rolling left and right on the ground. It really bit into the vital part of his throat which was already on fire. The old man's miserable cries immediately came to an abrupt end. Only his body still rolled a few times due to inertia before coming to a stop.

In the end, Zhang Xiaohua was unable to harden her heart and let the old man who treated the lives of seventy-seven girls as grass suffer the fate of being burned to death by the raging fire.

Keeping the small sword, Zhang Xiaohua formed a seal in her hands and then waved her hand. True Qi came out of her body and pounced on the raging flames. The old man was unable to extinguish the flames no matter what and as if it had met its nemesis, it immediately dissipated, leaving behind only black smoke and an unpleasant smell.

Looking at the burnt old man's corpse on the ground, Zhang Xiaohua stood there for a long time. She really did not expect that the flame of this jade talisman would be so powerful. She couldn't help but feel that it was not appropriate to give her family so many weapons that could not be blocked by human strength.

However, immediately, there was a sneer in her heart. Today's ending, she was able to survive all because of this jade talisman. Otherwise, she really didn't know what would happen to her. Maybe she would be worse than this old man. Her family had a sense of propriety. She had to believe that they would not act recklessly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua released her Divine Thought again. The movement in the underground hall was so big just now. She didn't know if it had alarmed the people on the ground.

Fortunately, the outside was as quiet as usual, and there was nothing wrong. Even that so-called Steward Gao was nowhere to be found. Presumably, when the old man discovered that the underground array had been activated, he had already been sent out by the old man.

Withdrawing her Divine Thought, Zhang Xiaohua walked to the front of the old man's corpse and turned the old man's corpse over. She wanted to see his real face. Unfortunately, the bronze mask had been burned together with the old man's head. It could no longer be separated. Zhang Xiaohua had to give up this unrealistic idea.

Looking at the old man's corpse, Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while. She made a gesture again, and a bean-sized flame appeared. She threw it on the old man's corpse, and the corpse burned again.

Earth to earth, dust to dust. Perhaps turning into dust was the best way to go.

Not long after, the mysterious old man was burned into nothingness. There was not even a trace of him left. In the original position of the corpse, a palm-sized token was revealed. The flame burned on the token for a while, but it could not burn it at all. Then in the windless hall, it burned for a while and went out.

Like a deceased person, it dissipated between heaven and earth.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned. She walked up and raised her hand to pick up the token.

This was a token that was neither gold nor jade. It was engraved with countless esoteric patterns. Her Divine Thought penetrated it, but she did not find anything unusual. However, since the flame could not burn it, and it was on the token owner's body, it must not be an ordinary thing. Zhang Xiaohua did not hesitate and put it in her arms. The treasures in heaven and earth were only owned by the virtuous. Zhang Xiaohua's morality was a hundred times stronger than the mysterious old man's. It was only right that Zhang Xiaohua took it.

The battle in the underground hall was the most dangerous battle Zhang Xiaohua had ever had since she started practicing the Way of Immortality. Although her life was not in danger, she had encountered the most difficult choice. Fortunately, the incomparably brave Zhang Xiaohua used her own heart to overcome the difficulty. She used her daily accumulation to eliminate the opponent that made her scratch her head.

From this battle, Zhang Xiaohua had two most basic gains. One was that the Way of Immortality had its own offensive and defensive methods. If she blindly used the martial arts method, she would only be using her own weak points against the enemy's strong points. If she encountered the same opponent in the future, it would be better to use the Way of Immortality to resolve it. And related to this, she had to find the Way of Immortality's offensive methods and cultivate it herself. Two was that the Way of Immortality's martial arts was a delicious cake that the entire Jianghu coveted. When she roamed the Jianghu in the future, she must pay more attention. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she absolutely could not let others know that she was the Way of Immortality's inheritor. On the other hand, if the enemy knew about her situation, then she only had one way to go, and that was to silence them!

Of course, through this battle, Zhang Xiaohua also had a clear understanding of her own martial arts. This mysterious old man should be the leader of this gang or something. He could be considered a high-ranking leader, and should be a somewhat famous figure in the Jianghu. Since she could fight him to a standstill with just her flying sword, she should be able to join the ranks of the so-called experts in the Jianghu.

Moreover, she had the Earth Escape. Even if she encountered a truly top-notch expert, if she could not win, she could still run. Of course, at that time, she would have to risk revealing her trump card as a Way of Immortality's Qi Practitioner.
