Chapter 47: Nan Ming Leaves the Fire

  The white light dissipated, and in the transmission array, there was only one person left.

  Sword eyebrows and star eyes, white clothes like snow, a sword casually hung at the waist, an ancient and simple sword.

  The sword may be ancient, but no one dares to ignore this sword, and even less dare to ignore its master. Those who know the sword all know that three years ago, it was stained with the blood of thousands of people from Qinghu's eighteen strongholds. The sword's master single-handedly killed thousands of people from Qinghu's eighteen strongholds, simply because a certain stronghold owner had mocked this sword a few times.

  This sword is called Dust, although this sword is as inconspicuous as the dust in the mortal world, but it is one of the three great divine swords of Divine Sword Mountain Villa. The owner of Divine Sword Dust is actually the master of Divine Sword Mountain Villa, Dust.

  The village head slowly walked out step by step, and upon seeing so many people gathered here, he was also taken aback.

  "Ling brother, Zhang brother, Hong brother, you're all here! I thought I'd be the first to arrive at this third level, looks like I miscalculated!" Seeing Ling Luo Ye and the other two familiar faces, Zhuang Luo Chen smiled slightly and walked up to them.

  "We were just lucky! We just arrived here, but we're blocked by this flame!" Hong Fei smiled wryly and pointed at the fire pillar that was spewing flames from time to time, saying to Zhuang Lüchen.

  Zhuang Luo Chen slowly walked forward, still several zhang away from the flame pillar. Zhuang Luo Chen suddenly felt wave after wave of heat rushing towards him, and the temperature seemed to rise sharply. Large beads of sweat flowed all over his body, and Zhuang Luo Chen quickly mobilized his true energy to protect himself.

  He rummaged through his chest for a while, and then Zong Lao Chen took out a black iron block and threw it into the flames. The black iron block rolled slightly in the flames and quickly turned into molten iron, disappearing instantly.

  Zhuang Luo's face changed greatly, and he hastily retreated back to his original position.

  "What's going on? Brother Zhuang, do you know what kind of fire that is? Is there any way to deal with this flame!" Zhang Ba rushed forward to ask as soon as he saw Zhuang Luodichen return.

  Zhuang Luo shook his head and then nodded, his face looking unpleasant.

  "Zhuang brother! Just say what you want to say, don't be mysterious. You're nodding and shaking your head at the same time, what do you mean?" Hong Fei furrowed his brow and said.

  "I really know what that fire is! But there's no way to deal with it!" Zhuang Luo Chen sighed, saying weakly.

  "What's on fire? Let's hear it out, with so many of us here, maybe someone knows the way to restrain it!" said Mu Yi.

  Zhuang Luo looked at Mu Yi with a glance, shook his head and said: "As everyone knows, my Shén Jiàn Mountain Villa is famous for its swordsmanship. Similarly, the sword-casting technique of my Shén Jiàn Mountain Villa can be said to be unparalleled in the world. Just now, what I threw into that flame was our villa's secret refined hundred-refined iron. In this vast world, there is only one kind of fire that can refine this hundred-refined iron so quickly..."

  "What's on fire?" Before Zhuang Lu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Ba in a state of urgency.

  "Southern Ming, separate from fire!"

  "What? Nanming is leaving the fire!"

  Although everyone had already mentally prepared themselves, they were still startled by the words "Nan Ming Li Huo".

  "Not bad! If I'm not mistaken, this flame is the Nanming Li Huo, the legendary heavenly fire of utmost yang!" Zhuang Luo dust nodded and said: "As for this Nanming Li Huo, Zhuang has never heard of anything that can restrain it. Does anyone know?"

  The fallen feathers, the soaring swan, Zhang Ba, you take a look at me, I take a look at you, both shook our heads.

  Zhuang Luodun smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I knew it was pointless to ask. What can possibly counter something of legend? It seems we can only be trapped in this sea of flames!"

  "Zhuang brother, actually you don't have to be so disheartened. Although we can't find a way to counter Nan Ming's Li Huo, it's not like we can't avoid him, right? Ling brothers, what do you think?" Hong Fei slowly walked up to Zhuang Luo Chen's side and gently patted his shoulder to comfort him.

  "Brother Ling! Can you find a way to avoid this Southern Ming's Li Huo?" Zhuang Luo Chen's eyes lit up involuntarily, and he turned his head to look at Ling Luo Yu.

  "Not bad, just give me a little time! I'll definitely be able to find that method!" Looking at Zhuang Luo Chen's expectant eyes, Ling Luo Yu thought for a moment and nodded in affirmation.

  "That's great! That's great! Old Man Ling, then hurry up and start!" The surprise of being reborn at the brink of death had apparently left Zong Luo dust somewhat incoherent, even calling out to Old Man Ling.

  Ling Luo's feathers fluttered slightly as she smiled faintly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to carefully observe and calculate.

  Although previously, Ling Luoyu had already calculated the rules of Nanming Li Huo's explosion to be more or less clear, now that there was time, Ling naturally hoped to calculate it even more meticulously. Because in this Nanming Li Huo, a slight carelessness could result in losing one's life; having a firmer grasp would also bring a greater hope for survival!

  One o'clock, two o'clock...

  One time, two times...

  Five periods of time had passed, and Ling Luo Yu was still motionless, even her eyes were slightly closed.

  "Hong brother, Zhuang brother. Can Ling Luoyu really calculate the rule of the Southern Ming's fire explosion? It's been a whole five hours already, how can he still be completely motionless!" Zhang Boming had obviously become somewhat impatient after waiting for Ling Luoyu for so long.

  Hong Fei furrowed his brow and said, "Looking at Brother Ling, he doesn't seem like a boastful person, I believe he won't speak nonsense. If he says it can be calculated, then it definitely can be calculated!"

  "Not bad, I also believe that Ling brother will definitely be able to do it!" Zhuang Luo Chen also echoed in agreement.

  "Ling Gongzi, you've finally woken up! Ling Gongzi has woken up......" Suddenly, Mu Yi's rough voice rang out, and the three of them quickly looked in the direction where Ling Luoyu was, only to see that Ling Luoyu, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly stood up with a tired expression on his face.

  "Brother Ling, how's the calculation going? Is there any progress?" Three voices rang out almost simultaneously.

  Ling Luo's feathers fluttered slightly as she smiled faintly and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you; it seems the calculations were roughly correct!"

  After a pause, Ling Luoyu continued: "I don't know if everyone has noticed that every thirty-seven times the flames erupt, one of the five fire pillars will erupt particularly violently! Moreover, after that eruption, the other four fire pillars' flame eruptions will be slightly delayed, and there won't be two consecutive eruptions. That's our only chance at survival."

  Everyone watched those few pillars of fire for half a day and finally nodded in unison.

  "Not bad, if it wasn't for Ling Gongzi's discovery, we really wouldn't have been able to find out about this tiny difference! Although it's just a tiny bit of buffer time, it's already enough for us!" Hong Fei said first.

  "Haha, since that's the case, Zhang will take a step ahead!" Zhang Ba let out a loud laugh and quickly found an opening to dash through. In no time, he had already passed through the passage and disappeared into the dark cave at the end of it.

  Ling Luo's bitter smile faded as he turned to Hong Fei and Zhuang Luo Chen, saying: "Among these people, the two of you have the deepest skills. I hope you can lend me a hand and help me get through this pass!"

  "We were able to get through this pass, and it's mostly thanks to your efforts, Ling brother. Helping you cross is a matter of course!" Hong Fei and Zhuang Luo dust exchanged a smile, nodding their heads in satisfaction.
