Chapter 425 - 422: Playing with Fire

"Gao Fei!" Xuan Jizi's voice suddenly rang out in his mind, "That turquoise flame is an extraordinary treasure. You must find a way to obtain it."

"Huh?" Gao Fei blinked in surprise, "What treasure?"

"I've told you before, the most powerful flame in the world is the Samadhi True Fire..."

"Samadhi True Fire?" Gao Fei's eyes widened, "Is that turquoise flame the Samadhi True Fire?"

"It is not... It's not the Samadhi True Fire."

"You scared me. I thought it was the Samadhi True Fire."

"Though that turquoise flame is not the Samadhi True Fire, it is nonetheless a remarkable flame. You could say it is second only to the Samadhi True Fire."

"Second only to the Samadhi True Fire? You mean..."

"Li Fire! That turquoise flame is Li Fire!" Xuan Jizi said excitedly: "Li Fire ranks just below the Samadhi True Fire and can incinerate all things. Its power is incredibly terrifying. I had thought Li Fire had gone extinct, but I didn't expect... to see it today... Gao Fei, this is a tremendous opportunity. You simply must seize it."

Gao Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure you're not wrong? That turquoise flame really is Li Fire?"

"Absolutely not mistaken! I've lived for over two thousand years, I trust my eyesight," said Xuan Jizi with certainty, "If you can obtain the Li Fire, your strength would increase significantly."

"Li Fire," Gao Fei's eyes sparkled, "No wonder the octopus fled into the depths of the sea. So, that turquoise flame is the Li Fire... a flame that exists merely below the Samadhi True Fire..."

"Feeling tempted now, aren't you?" Xuan Jizi chuckled, "So what are you waiting for? Hurry and grab it!"

"Grab it?" Gao Fei glanced at the golden bird circling in the sky, "The golden bird is mighty, possessing at least the power of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. If I rush over there... I'd just be courting death."

"Use your brain," Xuan Jizi said, "Think of a strategy. Let me tell you, if you give up now, you'll definitely regret it later." After saying this, Xuan Jizi added, "You don't stumble upon Li Fire every day. Heaven has allowed you to see the Li Fire, that's a chance given to you, and you must hold on to it tightly, and you can't let go!"

Gao Fei gave a wry smile, "I would like to hold on to it, but I can't. I'm only at the Golden Core Realm Cultivation. There's no way I can defeat that golden bird; it could kill me with just a casual flap of its wings."

"Anyway, I've told you, it's up to you what to do next." As soon as Xuan Jizi finished this sentence, he fell silent.

Gao Fei frowned and racked his brains, but after a long while, he couldn't come up with a foolproof plan.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Chen San noticed something off about Gao Fei. Gao Fei had been communicating with Xuan Jizi using Mental Power, so Chen San hadn't heard anything.

"Oh, it's nothing." Gao Fei shook his head, "I just got distracted thinking about something."

"That turquoise flame spewed by the golden bird is formidable. It scared the octopus away," Chen San remarked, "I wonder what the origin of that turquoise flame is? How come it's so powerful?"

"We should leave this place quickly," Liu Qing suggested, "The octopus is gone, and with no target for its aggression, the golden bird might very well take its anger out on us."

"Yeah, we should leave," agreed Chen San with a nod.

"We can't leave," Gao Fei shook his head.

"What? Why can't we leave?" Chen San and Liu Qing were taken aback.

"Well... I've taken a liking to that turquoise flame and I want to snatch it," said Gao Fei.

"What?" Chen San and Liu Qing were petrified, "My lord, have you lost your mind? That golden bird is extremely powerful; even if the three of us banded together, we wouldn't stand a chance against it!"

Gao Fei shook his head, "I know the golden bird is powerful... but... I really want that turquoise flame."

"The turquoise flame is formidable, but your life is even more precious. It's not worth the risk for a flame of unknown origin," Chen San and Liu Qing earnestly pleaded, hoping Gao Fei would change his mind.

"You go ahead," Gao Fei waved his hand, "I'll stay here and think of a way."

"My lord..."

"No more, I've made up my mind, I won't change it!"

"..."

"You guys, hurry up and leave!"

"We're not leaving!" Chen San and Liu Qing shook their heads, "We're staying to protect the adult."

"I don't need your protection..."

"The adult has his own convictions, and we have ours. If the adult doesn't leave, we will absolutely not go either."

"You two..." Gao Fei was very moved inside, but his face showed an angry expression, "I am now ordering you two to leave at once! This is an order! If you still have any respect for me, get going!!!"

"We're not leaving!" Chen San and Liu Qing were very determined.

"Screech!!!"

A sudden cry rang out, causing dizziness and tinnitus in Gao Fei and the others.

"Oh no! That golden bird is coming over here!" Gao Fei's face changed dramatically, "Run quick! Split up and run!"

Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing each fled in different directions.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The golden bird flapped its wings vigorously, and immediately three gusts of wind appeared on the sea surface, howling towards Gao Fei and the others at an unimaginable speed.

In the blink of an eye, the three gusts of wind caught up with Gao Fei and the others, effortlessly ensnaring them. The immense tearing force caused Gao Fei and the others immense pain.

"Screech!"

The golden bird fluttered its wings and flew over, its two eyes staring intently at Gao Fei and the others, its gaze cold and ruthless.

"It's over! The golden bird has caught up!" Chen San said with a bitter smile, "We're going to be eaten!"

"I'm not ready to die yet." Liu Qing sighed heavily, "I really haven't lived enough."

"Sorry, it's my fault that you guys got involved," Gao Fei said with guilt.

"Don't say that, adult. To be able to die alongside you is our good fortune."

"If there's an afterlife, I'll still serve under you."

In the face of death, Chen San and Liu Qing did not blame Gao Fei, which moved him greatly.

What is a life and death friendship? This is it! What are good friends? This is it!

"Screech!"

The golden bird opened its sharp beak and bit towards Gao Fei and the others.

"What a great opportunity!" Gao Fei wrapped the storage ring with his mental power. "Black Spheres, go!" Five black spheres flew out from the storage ring, turning into five black streaks that darted into the golden bird's mouth.

Everything happened so suddenly by the time the golden bird reacted, it was too late. The five black spheres had entered its mouth and then slid down its throat into its body...

"Explode!"

Gao Fei shouted loudly.

"Boom!!!"

The five black spheres that entered the golden bird's body exploded instantly, and a terrifying force rampaged inside the golden bird.

"Screech..."

The golden bird let out a painful scream, its eyes blood-red, its huge body rolling in the air, blood gushing from its mouth... Upon a closer look, one could also see that there were fine cracks around the front chest and back of the golden bird, oozing beads of blood...
