Chapter 45: The Blazing Fire of the Separate Courtyard

  The night is getting darker, but even the darkest night can't stop that crimson color.

  Here is a separate courtyard, the mountain rocks and land in the courtyard are all crimson, making people feel that this courtyard seems to be hiding an unparalleled killing intent.

  There are dozens of fire pillars densely packed in the courtyard, distributed in every corner, with flames spewing out from the ground into the air, varying in size and height, but their shapes are completely consistent.

  The top of the fire column burst outward in all directions, but saw a brilliant light, stars flying and throwing, like a silver flower of a fire tree, really beautiful and unparalleled.

  In the center of the other courtyard was a teleportation array, one that looked exactly like the one in the bamboo forest.

  Suddenly, the teleportation array flashed a white light, and in this thick night color, the white light was so dazzling.

  As the white light gradually dissipated, four figures slowly began to emerge, which were exactly Ling Luo Yu and others who had just come down from the second floor.

  "Ling Gongzi, why not wait a few more days until Chen Kong arrives and we can come down together? Isn't it good to spend every day drinking and eating meat up there? Why the hurry to come down?" Mu Yi complained, scanning the sea of flames around them.

  Qin Ling'er gave Mu Yi a white eye and said, "I'm telling you, Brother Mu, just look at yourself. All day long, all you know is eating and drinking. In the Emerald Bamboo Forest of Chen Kong, in just over ten or twenty days, you've already gained weight around your waist. If you stay there any longer, I don't even know if you'll still be able to wield a sword!"

  Mo Yi burst out laughing and said, "In the jianghu, one's life is on the edge of a knife. When you should be enjoying yourself, you must do so to the fullest. Who knows when you might accidentally lose your life? Wouldn't that be a great loss?! Besides, the more meat I eat and the more wine I drink, the greater my abilities become! Look at my fist, look at my arm!"

  Mo Yi rolled up his sleeves, revealing his large fists and bulging arms.

  "Lazy to talk to you!" Qin Ling'er smiled and looked at the scene in front of her.

  Next to the transmission array, there is only one road. Except for this road, other places are basically filled with flames that keep spewing out. Even on this road, it's still not safe because you have to pass through several fire pillars halfway, although they're not as dense as in other parts of the courtyard, but also occasionally some flames will spew out.

  "Let me try and see just how powerful this flame is!" said Han Xiao, cold as ice.

  Han Xiao's hands shook, and two flying knives and a butterfly dart appeared in his hand. No one had ever known where Han Xiao hid his hidden weapons, nor did anyone know how many he had. Even after entering the tomb of Tongxian for some time and going through several battles, Han Xiao's hidden weapons continued to emerge endlessly. In fact, no one had ever seen him retrieve any of the hidden weapons he had sent out.

  Han Xiao's hand flicked lightly, and two flying knives shot rapidly towards the location of the fire pillar.

  On this channel, there are five fire pillars, uneven and staggered, intersecting with each other, and every few zhang distance will have a fire pillar standing there.

  Han Xiao's hidden weapon flew at an extremely fast speed, the first flame pillar, the hidden weapon pierced through it, nothing happened, the second flame pillar, also pierced through, still nothing happened...

  "It seems that as long as the speed is fast enough, it's not difficult to pass through these flames!" Han Xiao smiled lightly and was just about to feel relieved.

  Article 3... Article 4...

  It was almost there, and the hidden weapon was about to pass through the last flame column. Even sharp-eyed Han Xiao had already seen the dark opening behind the torches.

  At this moment, a sudden change occurred. The fifth pillar of fire suddenly emitted a wave of heat, causing the three hidden weapons to be blown away, swaying and fluttering in mid-air. Following closely behind the heat, several clusters of fierce flames burst out, and at the instant they burst out, these clusters of flames exploded violently in all directions. The entire area within a radius of several meters around the torch was enveloped by the flames.

  And those two flying knives, one butterfly dart was struck by the flames and instantly melted the three hidden weapons into a ball of molten iron, which was then incinerated completely.

  "What a terrifying flame! If you get even a thread of this flame on you, you're definitely dead!" The three exchanged a glance, and their hearts were chilled to the core.

  "I told you so, it's better to wait for Brother Chen to come and go down together. He must know how to get through here!" Mu Yi shouted again after witnessing the horror of the flames.

  But Mu Yi's words did not win over a single person, instead they earned him three disdainful glances.

  Ling Luo's feathers rustled softly as she let out a sigh, saying: "Mu brother, who is Chen Kong? I believe you're also aware that he doesn't belong to the same world as us. If we have to rely on Chen Kong for everything, even if we safely pass through this Heavenly Tomb, we'll probably still be looked down upon by him!"

  "Yes! Although Brother Chen doesn't say anything, who knows what he's thinking in his heart!" Han Xiao also nodded in agreement.

  Qin Ling'er also nodded, saying: "I admit that I have a good impression of Chen Kong, maybe it can be said that I like him! But in this Tongxian's tomb, I absolutely will not completely rely on him. To survive, I must also live with dignity!"

  "You all are right, I'm the only one who's wrong!" Mu Yi took out a bottle of wine from his bosom and gulped it down mouthful by mouthful, no longer speaking.

  "Ah!" With a sigh, Ling Luoyu also stopped speaking and quietly observed the pillar of fire.

  Han Xiao took out a hidden weapon and tried several times, but unfortunately, he was unable to pass through safely. Sometimes he was hit by the flames spewed out by the first pillar of fire, sometimes by the third one, as if the eruption of the pillars of fire had no discernible pattern.

  The flames spewed out by this pillar of fire reached a height of several zhang, and the area where the flames were spewing was also extremely vast. How could one possibly get through? There must be some sort of pattern to the timing and intervals of the flames' ejection.

  He stared intently at the raging flames, calculating their intermittent cycles and intervals. This required precise calculations, as water and fire were merciless, and he hoped to avoid unnecessary harm.

  As flames spewed out one after another, Ling Luo Yu seemed to have grasped something!

  Not bad, it should be like this! Ling Luo's eyes suddenly opened wide.
