Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1578: Liao Ling’er’s Warning

Roar...

The flame demon beast roared angrily and immediately attacked the two people. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Xiao Yi did not take action, and instead took a step back.

Liao Ling’er, who was beside him, was first startled, then pouted.

Whoosh... A Wind Blade shot out from Liao Ling’er’s hand.

The demon beast was instantly torn apart and disappeared.

This demon beast was merely an illusion of flames, and its strength was only around the Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm.

Xiao Yi was too lazy to make a move.

Liao Ling’er’s cultivation, however, was at the Ninth Layer of Saint King Realm, so dealing with this flame demon beast was not difficult, it was even a one-hit kill.

Upon the flame demon beast’s disappearance, a pill appeared on the ground.

Liao Ling’er quickly stepped forward and picked it up, a look of delight on her face, "Not bad luck, it’s a King-grade Elixir."

Xiao Yi glanced at it.

Liao Ling’er quickly put it away, pouting, "Senior, since I killed the demon beast, this reward should belong to me."

Xiao Yi said nothing, merely moving forward indifferently.

It was just a King-grade Healing Elixir, the effect was good.

But Xiao Yi could tell at a glance that the pill was neither crude nor great, just a decent pill.

"Is this reward all there is within the Fire Teeth event?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Yes." Liao Ling’er nodded, "Upon entering the Fire Teeth Formation, various trials will be encountered randomly."

"Passing a trial immediately grants a reward."

"As for what the reward is, it all depends on one’s luck; pills, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, Divine Weapons, all are possible."

"Of course, the more difficult the trial, the better the reward will be."

"If one performs best within the Fire Teeth Formation, there will be extra ranking rewards from the Fire Teeth Sect after exiting."

Xiao Yi nodded.

This Fire Teeth event is indeed quite interesting, and the rewards are not low.

No wonder it attracts so many martial artists to participate.

The two continued walking within the flames, no, perhaps it is now a sea of fire.

Several minutes later.

From time to time, the two encountered flame illusions of demon beasts, but most were not very strong.

The strongest encountered was just a serpent-like demon beast at the Ninth Layer of Saint King Realm.

With Liao Ling’er’s strength, it took some effort but was resolved.

Ten minutes later.

The pair kept walking, encountering one flame demon beast after another, each killed.

After these flame demon beasts disappeared, a reward was left behind each time.

During this period, various King-grade Elixirs appeared, and two Holy-grade Techniques emerged, though only low-level ones.

Suddenly.

From within the sea of fire, a figure slowly walked out.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi glanced at it, softly hmming.

Liao Ling’er frowned, her face changing instantly upon seeing the figure clearly.

"It’s a Flame Puppet."

Yes, that figure was not a martial artist, just a flame puppet.

"Um, Senior." Liao Ling’er showed difficulty, "I truly can’t handle this thing."

Liao Ling’er looked toward Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded.

This flame puppet radiated the aura of Saint Emperor Realm.

"Senior, if we can’t win, we can flee; we don’t have to fight it head-on," Liao Ling’er quickly said.

Xiao Yi said nothing, just nodded.

Whoosh... at that moment, the flame puppet swiftly approached.

Liao Ling’er was startled.

Xiao Yi only slowly extended his hand.

Crack...

With a simple squeeze of the arm, without any other action from Xiao Yi, the entire flame puppet was instantly crushed apart.

It was merely a Saint Emperor Realm First Layer flame entity; Xiao Yi didn’t even need to use any Fire Control Technique, physical strength alone could smash it.

"So... so strong." Liao Ling’er beside him widened her eyes.

"Senior, you must be a Martial Arts Emperor at least above the Third Layer of Saint Emperor Realm."

Xiao Yi nodded but said nothing.

With the flame puppet’s disappearance, a dagger appeared on the ground.

Liao Ling’er leaned down to pick it up, her eyes lighting up, "It’s a Low Grade Holy Device."

"It’s yours," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

"Mine?" Liao Ling’er was stunned, then delighted, "Thank you, Senior."

Xiao Yi marched onward indifferently.

Behind him, a mysterious look flashed in Liao Ling’er’s eyes.

...

Inside the main hall of the Fire Teeth Sect.

The Sect Master looked at the endless sea of fire in front of him and smirked mockingly, "That bunch of fools, they’ve all gone in."

The dignity on the Fire Teeth Sect Master’s face had long disappeared.

Replaced by a sinister expression.

"It’s time to take care of our business." The Sect Master glanced at the elder beside him.

"Yes, Sect Master." The elder nodded, accepting the order and leaving.

...

In the sea of fire.

Xiao Yi and Liao Ling’er walked casually.

On the way, they occasionally saw other martial artists participating in the event shuttle through the flames.

However, they had no interaction with each other.

This is also one of the benefits of participating in the Fire Teeth event; participants do not need to fight one another.

Each martial artist just needs to handle the trials they meet.

At this moment, Xiao Yi crushed another demon beast.

"Senior, it’s a Peak King-grade Pill, a Saint King Quenching Fire Pill," Liao Ling’er exclaimed joyfully.

"It’s yours," Xiao Yi said indifferently, continuing forward.

The Saint King Quenching Fire Pill, once consumed, can enhance a martial artist’s firepower; it’s a very good pill.

But to Xiao Yi, such a pill was not worth mentioning.

Ten minutes later.

"Senior, it’s an Emperor-grade Elixir, a Blue Green Rejuvenation Pill," Liao Ling’er picked up the pill.

Xiao Yi remained silent.

A few minutes later.

"Senior, it’s a Holy-grade Martial Technique, Eight Stone Tornado Break," Liao Ling’er’s face was filled with joy.

Xiao Yi still said nothing.

One hour later.

Xiao Yi again crushed a flame entity.

Liao Ling’er picked up the reward to herself, no longer asking, merely smiling cheekily at Xiao Yi.

Two hours later.

Xiao Yi stopped walking, looked at Liao Ling’er, and asked, "How much longer do we have to walk in this sea of fire?"

Liao Ling’er thought for a moment and said, "About half a day."

"The sea of fire erupted from the Sect Square and will eventually extend to the peak of Fire Teeth Mountain."

"At the peak, is the final trial, also the greatest reward."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Several more hours later.

Based on Xiao Yi’s estimation, they should be close to the peak.

On the way, they encountered many martial artists as well.

However, some martial artists couldn’t defeat the stronger flame entities, and the defeated ones would wait on the spot, surrounded by a Flame Barrier.

Inside the barrier, they wouldn’t be attacked by flame demon beasts anymore.

But these martial artists would have no part in the Fire Teeth event, they could only wait for the event to end and the flames to dissipate.

At the same time, many martial artists would keep forging ahead, overcoming continuous obstacles.

"At most, another half an hour, we should reach the peak." Xiao Yi murmured.

At that moment, Liao Ling’er’s footsteps suddenly halted.

Xiao Yi glanced at her, and coldly said, "Do you remember my warning?"

"I remember." Liao Ling’er nodded, "But..."

Liao Ling’er suddenly stuttered.

"What?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Liao Ling’er said solemnly, "It’s very dangerous ahead; it would be best for you, Senior, to give up here."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yi’s frown deepened.

Liao Ling’er’s expression became serious, "Senior, why don’t you wait here until the event ends."

"If you continue forward, you might lose your life."

"You think I fear?" Xiao Yi’s tone remained cold as ever.

Liao Ling’er shook her head, "I understand Senior’s strength is exceptional, but I can only tell you, it’s muddy water ahead; if you continue, you’ll dirty yourself and lose your life."

With that, Liao Ling’er’s figure flickered, quickly moving forward.

"Seems she’s forgotten my warning." Xiao Yi’s voice turned cold.

Liao Ling’er halted her steps, glanced back at Xiao Yi, and sweetly smiled, "Along the way, I’ve come to understand Senior’s temperament."

"Senior has a great disposition, just pretends to be fierce with me, won’t actually harm me."

"But, Senior, please heed my warning; stop here, don’t proceed further, or you really might lose your life."

With those words, Liao Ling’er didn’t look back, continuing forward; in a moment, she had vanished from sight.

...
