People could not help but be secretly amazed. They never expected to actually see a flower growing in the magma, and it could survive under such a high temperature, that was definitely not ordinary. They saw the entirely crimson colored Blue Flaming Lotus and they also clearly saw that it contained lotus seeds as well.
“Haha, it’s actually the Blue Flaming Lotus!” A warrior laughed and said.
After seeing the flower, the warrior picked up a huge rock and suddenly threw it into the magma pool.
“Splash!” The rock fell into the magma, and that warrior immediately jumped and stepped on that huge rock and without waiting even for an instant, he suddenly leaped again towards the Blue Flaming Lotus to plunder it.
Everyone saw that once that warrior tried to grasp the Blue Flaming Lotus in his hand, he started screaming over and over while his hands had instantly burnt to a terrifying extent. His body fiddled and as there nothing to support his falling body, he fell directly into the magma and screamed pitifully before completely melting.
“He really was courting death!” Many of the warriors who had fortunately not rushed like him, said with a look of disdain on their faces.
Ye Xiwen frowned at this troublesome situation. The Blue Flaming Lotus was completed surrounded by red hot magma and there were no places to step over to approach it and looking at the scary level of temperature of the magma, even a foot, properly wrapped in re-enforced Zhen Qi, would instantly melt and disappear once stepped into the magma, which was absolutely terrifying.
“Let me try!” At this time, the young master of Shaoyang Sect, Wu Shaoyang, shouted loudly and instantly threw a red double-edged sword which flew out skimming over the magma pool and Wu Shaoyang immediately flew up, and as lithe as the swallow, he descended over his sword and rushed towards the Blue Flaming Lotus to snatch it. (NT: ‘As lithe as a swallow is an idiom’)
“Shua!” The treasured sword passed swiftly over the Blue Flaming Lotus and instantly cut down the entire flower while flying vigorously through the air, but at this time, when he stretched out his hands to firmly hold the Blue Flaming Lotus, it started to emit buzzing sound after coming in contact with his hands. The ultra-high temperature had started to melt his Zhen Qi, though fortunately, he was already a master of the Xiantian realm and his Xiantian Zhen Qi was far more powerful than the Houtian Zhen Qi. If a Houtian realm warrior had held this Lotus in his hand then it would have instantly corroded his Zhen Qi and burnt his hand.
Wu Shaoyang soon flew skimming over the magma pool to the other side, when at this time he heard a shrill piercing sound and saw a huge rock flying towards him at a lightning speed.
“Bang!” Wu Shaoyang struggled to twist his body in the midair and dodged the rock which then heavily crashed into the side of the cliff and dug a big hole into it.
“Chen Tieshou, you old bastard, how dare you sneak an attack on me!” Wu Shaoyang turned around to look and noticed that it was Chen Tieshou who had played this dirty trick on him…
Chen Tieshou sneered: “You better put down the Blue Flaming Lotus. It is not the kind of thing that your Shaoyang Sect should meddle with.”
Wu Shaoyang’s complexion got unsightly and he stared fiercely at the Chen Tieshou and said: “If I say no, then?”
“Then your father will lose a son, so I advise you to be little sensible. Years ago, I made a living by travelling around the country when you were just born!” Chen Tieshou bluntly said.
“Old fool, you want to take advantage of your own seniority. So what if you have practiced for decades, just you wait and see how I cut you today!” Wu Shaoyang had become enraged by Chen Tieshou’s words.
“You can try!” Chen Tieshou sneered and rushed towards Wu Shaoyang.
“Old stuff, just drop dead already!” Wu Shaoyang struck his sword and a terrifying Jianqi instantly rushed out towards Chen Tieshou. (NT: ‘Tieshou’ means ‘Iron Hand’)
