Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 391 Flame Duel
Yan Ze and Su Yu, who were further away, immediately retreated when assaulted by this terrifying temperature. Originally, the two had intended to come up to support Mo Wuji, but now they realized that even getting close was difficult.
Mo Wuji directly blasted out a web of lightning, which immediately enveloped the futon.
In just the time it took to breathe, after a series of crackling sounds, Mo Wuji's web of lightning was completely incinerated by the futon's heat.
Mo Wuji guessed that Cang Jue's means of massacring the city must be this futon. The futon possessed a kind of flame that he simply couldn't discern, and this flame was extremely powerful.
It absolutely couldn't be allowed to continue expanding. Who knew what extent this futon could eventually reach? Once the flames spread to Fengxiao City, even if he were here, it would be useless.
The Tianji Pole swept out, transforming into boundless pole shadows and bombarding the futon.
"Boom!" The Tianji Pole struck the futon, which was already dozens of feet in diameter. Instead of breaking it apart, it splashed up a sky full of formless flames. The scorching heat swept over, directly singeing Mo Wuji's hair.
Seemingly due to the power of Mo Wuji's strike, the flame futon stopped expanding and instead curved downwards, forming a space.
The direction of the space's extension seemed to want to engulf Mo Wuji, and the temperature within the space became even more terrifying than before.
"A mere Human Immortal dares to fight me?" Cang Jue sneered, raising his hand and striking the futon several times.
Several fiery red rays shot out from the futon, directly blasting towards Mo Wuji.
The temperature of the futon space was incredibly high. Even though Mo Wuji had experienced the test of the Azure Lux Flame, he felt a burning sensation all over his body, and even his Yuan energy shield couldn't block it. Once his Yuan energy shield was burned away by the flame space of the futon, his clothes and skin would be quickly charred.
Mo Wuji gasped in cold air. He hadn't been careless in being enveloped by the futon. It was because this flame futon was too bizarre, and its power was simply terrifying.
Mo Wuji tried to teleport using spatial movement, but he found that this flame space seemed to have a unique set of rules that restricted him. Each time he teleported, it felt like taking a difficult small step.
Several rays shot towards him were narrowly dodged by Mo Wuji, while Cang Jue outside the flame futon continued to strike the futon ferociously.
More and more rays shot over, and the temperature within the flame futon grew higher and higher, making it increasingly difficult for Mo Wuji to move. Finally, one ray grazed past Mo Wuji's waist. Mo Wuji only felt a burst of burning pain, and the blood that splattered was quickly incinerated into nothingness by the heat within the flame futon.
Mo Wuji took a breath. He had never seen such a powerful magic treasure. This treasure even left him with only the option of being beaten, unable to even directly confront Cang Jue.
"Crack!" The flame futon finally closed the flame space, directly locking Mo Wuji inside.
At this moment, Mo Wuji actually calmed down. He knew that his combat experience was still lacking, which was why he had fallen into this predicament. He was certain that the Cang Jue before him was far inferior to Zhu Qu, and his current strength was more than ten times stronger than when he had faced Zhu Qu.
But now he had no chance to directly confront Cang Jue and was restrained beneath Cang Jue's flame futon. If his combat experience had been more abundant, he would have definitely attacked Cang Jue in the first instance, instead of attacking the flame futon.
Mo Wuji raised his hand and blasted out several more lightning swords. These lightning swords only caused the flame futon to tremble slightly, but they couldn't tear it apart.
After trying several times and being struck by the rays twice more, Mo Wuji completely gave up on the idea of tearing apart the flame futon space.
The Azure Lux Flame directly formed a new shield outside his protective Yuan energy wall. Since it was a flame, he would first use flame to block this flame space, and then think of a way out.
Cang Jue didn't pay any attention to the Azure Lux Flame shield that Mo Wuji had summoned. He continued to raise his hand and strike the flame futon, sending increasingly dense rays towards Mo Wuji in the flame space.
Cang Jue had been through countless battles and had more experience than Mo Wuji. Although he looked down on Mo Wuji, he wasn't careless. Since Mo Wuji could kill Bao Lie and Hui Wei'er, and even become the Star Lord of the Star Emperor Mountain, he naturally had some ability.
Now that he only needed to kill Mo Wuji, there would be no more obstacles to his slaughter of the city. He also believed that even without using his flame futon, killing Mo Wuji would be as easy as turning his hand. Since he could kill Mo Wuji more securely, why would he fight Mo Wuji head-on?
"Boom boom boom boom..." The continuous rays struck Mo Wuji's Azure Lux Flame shield, splashing up large swaths of flame light in the space of the flame futon. Then, these splashed flames, like drops of water meeting a sponge, all seeped into the Azure Lux Flame shield and disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't even used much Yuan energy, and these rays had been swallowed up by his Azure Lux Flame shield.
When Mo Wuji initially summoned the Azure Lux Flame, he only wanted to temporarily block the opponent's flame futon, and then think of a way out. But now he discovered that his Azure Lux Flame seemed to restrain the flames within the flame futon, so Mo Wuji wouldn't be polite. He directly drove the Azure Lux Flame to permeate outwards, starting to refine the flame space that the flame futon had extended.
In just a dozen breaths of time, Mo Wuji knew that he had guessed correctly. After absorbing the scorching rays and heat from the flame futon, the strength of the Azure Lux Flame seemed to be constantly increasing.
Not only that, but as the Azure Lux Flame absorbed, the flame space supported by the flame futon also slowly weakened and shrunk.
Mo Wuji could discover it, and Cang Jue could naturally discover it as well. His flame futon was his greatest trump card. The reason why he had taken out the flame futon as soon as he encountered Mo Wuji today was because Mo Wuji had killed Bao Lie, killed the White-Eyed Wolf, and killed millions of Starry Sky Beasts from Wolf King Mountain. His hatred for Mo Wuji was almost at its peak.
Cang Jue, who was born burly and ugly, was actually an extremely rational fellow. The more he hated Mo Wuji, the more cautious he became. This caution made him use his strongest move as soon as he attacked, wanting to first control Mo Wuji, and then slowly vent his hatred.
But now he hadn't controlled Mo Wuji, and his trump card seemed to be controlled by Mo Wuji. How could this be allowed?
Cang Jue immediately wanted to retrieve the flame futon, but he soon discovered that his flame futon was now locked by another kind of flame, and the essence of the flame was constantly being absorbed by Mo Wuji's flame. With each passing moment, Mo Wuji's flame strengthened by one point, while his flame futon seemed to weaken by one point.
At this point, Cang Jue could no longer afford to be cautious. He stepped into the space of the flame futon, and the Six Cloud Whip in his hand howled as it lashed out towards Mo Wuji.
The vast expanse of the Six Cloud Whip howled as it came, as if Mo Wuji was in the midst of a fierce battlefield. His fighting will seemed to be crushed by the killing intent on this battlefield.
The Brahma Pole shadows also blasted out with the Tianji Pole at this moment, and the overwhelming Yuan energy exploded in the flame space.
When the Yuan energy collided, it was like a heavy hammer striking Mo Wuji's chest. Mo Wuji could even clearly hear the pain of his skin being torn by the opponent's Yuan energy.
Compared to Mo Wuji, Cang Jue was even more shocked and enraged. Mo Wuji had a kind of flame that could restrain his flame futon, which had already shocked him to the extreme. Now, Mo Wuji, a mere Human Immortal, could actually contend with his Yuan energy? He was a ninth-level demon beast! Even if it was the early stage of the ninth level, it was still the ninth level.
Mo Wuji was not afraid at all. After just one exchange, he was very clear that Cang Jue was simply not as good as Zhu Qu, and not only was he not as good, but the two were far apart.
Before Cang Jue could attack again, Mo Wuji stepped out into the void and shot several lightning swords towards Cang Jue, followed by a spatial imprisonment. With the intervention of the Azure Lux Flame, the space in the flame futon was no longer under Cang Jue's control.
From the time he met Cang Jue until now, Cang Jue had been the one in control, and he had been passively fighting. Now it was his turn to attack.
Cang Jue groaned, and the Six Cloud Whip once again transformed into a ball of white light, and the lightning sword bombarded the white light, splashing up endless white light and blue shimmering lightning.
In that instant, Cang Jue felt that something was wrong. Mo Wuji's lightning sword was indeed strong, but it posed no threat to him at all. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji finally had a chance to attack, and he wouldn't waste the opportunity like this.
There must be a problem. Thinking of this, Cang Jue poured even more Yuan energy into the Six Cloud Whip, and the Six Cloud Whip was about to change in an instant.
At the same time, Cang Jue felt a slight stagnation around him. The space no longer seemed to be the same as before. In this interval of time, he couldn't even sense Mo Wuji's location.
Not good. Just as Cang Jue thought of this, a deathly aura surged into his mind.
At this time, Cang Jue could no longer care about continuing to attack Mo Wuji. His entire body twisted frantically, wanting to leave the spot in this instant.
"Puff!" An iron pole struck Cang Jue's neck, and a tearing pain came. Cang Jue didn't even care about the flame futon and turned to leave.
Spatial imprisonment and the next strike in the Brahma Pole shadows had already become Mo Wuji's killing moves, but he didn't expect Cang Jue to dodge the vital point.
In an instant, Cang Jue had already reached dozens of feet away.
If it were someone else, Cang Jue might have just walked away like this. But he was facing Mo Wuji, and dozens of feet were no distance at all with spatial movement.
"Boom!" Before Cang Jue could teleport away again, Mo Wuji blasted out a punch from behind Cang Jue.
"Bang!" Cang Jue was focused on leaving and couldn't have imagined that Mo Wuji would suddenly appear beside him. His nearly ten-foot tall body was like a ball that was directly blasted away by Mo Wuji.
Yan Ze and Su Yu, who were terrified in the distance, had retreated to the edge of Fengxiao City. They couldn't intervene in the power of Cang Jue and Mo Wuji's fight. They didn't know who had the upper hand or the lower hand under that flame futon.
At this moment, they saw Cang Jue suddenly fly up, and a fist-sized blood hole appeared in the center of Cang Jue's back.
