Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 78: The Eerie Fire Specter! The Great Revered One’s Second Divine Possession!_1
"Fan... Fan Taoist Friend? You... How come you’re with this Yin Envoy gentleman?"
Chong Hengzi felt his brain wasn’t quite up to snuff.
If he remembered correctly, this should be Fan Taoist Friend’s first visit to Yinghe Prefecture, right? Then how did Fan Taoist Friend come to be involved with a Yin Envoy of Yinghe Prefecture?
And it seemed like this Yin Envoy gentleman held Fan Taoist Friend in...
High regard?!
This...
What could be the reason for this?
Chong Hengzi couldn’t figure it out!
"Ran into [him/her] on the road," Fan Wu answered casually: "I asked [him/her] to show me the way, and [he/she] brought me here. The Yin Envoys of Yinghe Prefecture are quite warm-hearted."
Yin... Yin Envoy, warm-hearted? Can these two words really go together?
Aren’t Yin Envoys notoriously arrogant and incredibly strange in their behavior?
Moreover, when he, Chong Hengzi, just asked this Yin Envoy a question, the response also confirmed that the other party was just like the rumors had said.
So.
Are you serious about Yin Envoys being warm-hearted?!
Chong Hengzi blankly looked toward the Yin Envoy.
Huang San forced a smile, but since he was holding an umbrella and wearing a bamboo hat, his face was concealed: "The Taoist Priest is correct, I... I am indeed quite warm-hearted."
Then, Huang San decided to ignore the old Taoist Priest and continued rushing towards the direction of the great jail.
He was very anxious at this moment and did not want to get entangled with a weak old Taoist Priest.
It didn’t take long.
The great jail.
Arrived.
"This..." The blazing inferno made Huang San, as a Yin Envoy, hesitant to get too close, because fire is the most ’yang’ and firm of elements, while he was the most ’yin’ and evil of Yin Envoys.
However, even from a distance, he could tell that the City God jail was completely gone.
From inside and out, it had collapsed into ruins and was bathed in a sea of flames!
"How could this be..." Huang San murmured in shock.
"If the City Lord God finds out upon returning to the mortal world that all the strange creatures held in custody have escaped..."
He suddenly shivered!
That would mean...
They, the Yin Envoys patrolling Yinghe Prefecture tonight, would be the first to face the City God’s questioning!
Suddenly.
Huang San noticed someone passing by him, walking towards the roaring flames ahead.
That person was Fan Wu!
"Taoist Fan Friend, the flames ahead are ferocious; getting too close might get you burnt!" Chong Hengzi saw what Fan Wu was doing and kindly warned.
"No worries," Fan Wu’s voice drifted softly: "I saw an interesting creature, I’ll be right back."
"Ah?"
Creature?
Both Chong Hengzi and the Yin Envoy Huang San couldn’t comprehend what Fan Wu was talking about. The City God jail had already collapsed to this extent, and was even engulfed in fierce flames...
In such a scenario, where would any creatures be?
How come they didn’t see any?
Unable to restrain himself, Chong Hengzi furrowed his brows. His eyes were naturally gifted with the ability to see both yin and yang, but he had not seen anything in the sea of fire... Hmm?
He froze for a second.
Because in a fleeting moment, Chong Hengzi saw a streak of evil energy flash through the flames!
Impossible!
With such raging flames, what creature’s evil energy could wander within them without being consumed and incinerated by the fire?
Yin Envoy Huang San narrowed his eyes; he too felt something was off at that moment.
But the flames were too disruptive for him to observe much.
However, just sensing something amiss was enough.
"There’s something inside!" Huang San declared with an extremely troubled look: "Damn it! This fire is not simple!!"
As opposed to a bewildered Chong Hengzi and a half-informed Yin Envoy Huang San,
Fan Wu naturally knew more than both of them.
Unavoidable.
That shining item attribute indicator was truly hard for him to ignore.
Yes!
In the midst of the raging fires before him, Fan Wu had discovered an attribute information!
Inside the fire.
There was a creature!
[A monster born from the spirits of hundreds who died in a mountain fire—Life: 2600—Power: 30—Skills: Control over fierce flames, soul-burning fire, yin fire doppelganger...]
Fan Wu’s eyes accurately locked onto this constantly darting attribute information.
He saw a cluster of ghastly fire different from the rest of the fierce flames.
He continued to weave through the sea of fire.
"An exaggerated ’Life’ attribute, but the ’Power’ attribute seems quite weak. It looks... similar to the zombie in Nie Family Village. One is a zombie, the other is a strange specter."
Fan Wu slipped off his Daoist Robe and gripped the Demon-slaying Sword in his hand, standing bare-chested.
Gazing at the expanse of the fiery sea ahead of him.
A grin spread across his face.
His figure plunged into it!
This scene.
Was witnessed by Chong Hengzi and the Yin Envoy Huang San from behind, whether it was Chong Hengzi, the Tianfu Mountain Master, or Huang San, the Yinghe Prefecture City Yin Envoy, they were both dumbfounded by Fan Wu’s recklessness!
As Fan Wu’s figure was engulfed by the sea of fire, Huang San murmured in shock, "Does this guy not fear death?"
Chong Hengzi didn’t know how to respond to the esteemed Yin Envoy’s words. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Because...
The same question was arising in his own mind.
Does fellow Daoist Fan not fear death?
...
Amidst the ruins of the sea of fire.
The scorching heat twisted the air, and the thick smoke was enough to choke and render breathless.
But Fan Wu didn’t seem to be too bothered, occasionally feeling a mild warmth when flames brushed against his skin.
That was all.
The smoky dust from the burnt buildings dispersed upon touching Fan Wu’s skin, as if repelled by some invisible force.
Fan Wu’s skin didn’t darken.
The color it had before he entered was the same color it retained.
He kicked a burning beam in half and stepped forcefully into the deeper parts of the fiery sea.
His acute senses perceived.
A malicious presence attacking!
A bizarre entity...
Had set its sights on him!
Fan Wu grinned, "Is it you who’s targeted me, or is it I who’s targeted you?"
His gaze locked onto something directly ahead.
There was a strange, ghostly fire that lacked a definite form but possessed consciousness, with an incredibly unique bodily structure.
The form of this ghostly fire differed from that of ordinary flames, making its abnormality easily noticeable.
Of course.
It was mainly because of the lines of attribute information on top of the opponent’s head, which were difficult to ignore.
The strange ghostly fire seemed not to expect that someone would dare to breach the tumultuous sea of fire.
Its aura clung fiercely to Fan Wu.
It felt.
This person.
Looked familiar.
Suddenly!
The bizarre ghostly fire seemed to recall something and experienced an intense emotional fluctuation, causing its body to undergo a series of transformations.
The ferocity of the surrounding flames... seemed to intensify along with its emotional shift!
Fan Wu noticed the peculiar state of this creature. This ghostly fire shivered violently, its aura became extremely unstable, and it carried an intense sense of foreboding and oddity.
But this unstable change lasted for barely a breath before it settled down.
After that.
A voice as if emanating from the deepest part of the soul.
At this moment...
Suddenly sounded!
"Fan Wu!!!"
The strange ghostly fire rapidly transformed into a sinister fire statue, standing over two zhang tall, equivalent to a two-story building, resembling a small giant made of flame.
It sat cross-legged like a temple Buddha, its seat resembling a golden lotus cushion; on which faintly appeared an array of bizarre talismanic scripts and a continuously rotating Bagua Yin Yang Fish Diagram.
Its body, unlike that of a human’s, appeared as though it was constructed of fiery tumors.
Six fiery arms extended from both sides of its body.
Each arm wielded a different weapon.
A face all too familiar to Fan Wu also materialized from the strange ghostly fire.
The attribute information above the head of the ghostly fire...
Underwent an earth-shattering change!
[Specter formed from hundreds of angry spirits who died in the mountain fire (Great Venerator’s Descent) — Life: 4000 — Power: 50 — Skills: Controlling fierce flames, Eroding souls, The great power of the Great Venerator’s Descent...]
