Chapter 316: The Purple Butterfly!
Chapter 316: The Purple Butterfly!
Upon hearing the sudden voice, Ma Dayuan and his companions quickly looked up.
"Little Poison Girl? How did she appear here so silently?"
"And who is the silver-haired little girl beside her? Why does she make me feel so uneasy even though she has no aura of cultivation?"
Seeing Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast, Ma Dayuan was filled with confusion.
Upon closer inspection, he became even more alarmed because the aura emanating from Xiao Yixian seemed several times stronger than when he had encountered her by the ancient city walls.
"Little Poison Girl, how dare you show yourself openly? When Old Liu arrives, let's see where you can run this time!" Huo Yunfeng said arrogantly, relying on his perceived backing.
"If you're waiting for Old Liu, I suggest you go to hell to find him!" Xiao Yixian retorted without hesitation.
After Xiao Yixian's words, the thoughts of the five people were very complicated.
"Go to hell to find Old Liu?"
"What does the Little Poison Girl mean by that? Could it be that Old Liu is already dead?"
"Old Liu is a Dou Emperor expert. Does the Little Poison Girl have the strength to kill Old Liu?"
Hearing their muttered discussions, a trace of impatience appeared on Xiao Yixian's face. The next moment, she directly pointed at them and shouted, "If you don't want to die, disappear from my sight immediately!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yixian's words, Ma Dayuan wasted no time. He quickly moved along the path they had come, heading out of the swamp. He felt very fortunate that Xiao Yixian didn't trouble him for their previous encounters.
Seeing Ma Dayuan leave so swiftly, the other four didn't dare linger and followed closely behind him.
However, just as Ma Dayuan and his group hadn't flown far, the temperature in the area suddenly skyrocketed.
The thick layer of sludge floating on the surface of the swamp suddenly cracked with numerous wide fissures, and wisps of what appeared to be high-temperature green gas shot towards the sky.
"Be careful, Sister Xian'er!"
Noticing this anomaly, the Void Beast's smooth forehead furrowed, and it quickly raised its hand to create a Dou Qi shield around Xiao Yixian.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Just after the Void Beast completed this, shrill screams came from Ma Dayuan's group, who had barely flown a hundred meters away.
Their Dou Qi shields had been directly penetrated by the high-temperature green gas shooting out from the fissures, allowing the toxic gas to invade their bodies.
"Why is this toxic gas suddenly erupting so violently? Could Ma Dayuan's guess be correct, that there's Nether Poison Fire down there?" Xiao Yixian wondered as she watched Ma Dayuan and his companions suffer.
In her view, the surface of the swamp, now broken into pieces, began to churn as if the green water beneath was boiling.
"Sister Xian'er, it's dangerous here. We should leave!"
Just as Xiao Yixian was lost in thought, the Void Beast wrapped its small hand around her slender waist and instantly transported her a thousand meters away.
After the Void Beast and Xiao Yixian left the area, a whirlpool of green water, more than ten meters wide, appeared in the swamp. At the same time, a massive suction force erupted from the whirlpool, drawing everything around it into its center.
In mid-air, the bodies of Ma Dayuan and his four companions, their skin turning green from the poison, first swelled with countless blisters. When the blisters burst, their bodies began to decay rapidly.
As the decay progressed, their life force drained quickly, and soon, their horrified screams stopped abruptly. The massive suction force then pulled the lifeless bodies of Ma Dayuan and his companions into the green whirlpool below.
After that, the area of the green water vortex expanded rapidly, soon reaching a range of a hundred meters. The thick mist floating in the air was also sucked into the vortex.
In Xiao Yixian's view, the massive green water vortex quickly absorbed all the toxic fog within a radius of ten miles in the swamp's center. Even with the Void Beast's Dou Qi protection, Xiao Yixian could clearly feel the terrifying pull of the suction.
Finally, at the center of the vortex, a pale purple butterfly with a wingspan of three meters slowly emerged, emanating a high temperature that made one's heart race.
"Is this the Nether Poison Fire?"
Seeing the pale purple butterfly floating out from the center of the vortex, Xiao Yixian was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.
As Xiao Yixian watched the pale purple butterfly, its ghostly eyes also focused on Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the pale purple butterfly's long, slender wings vibrated violently, flying towards Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast at lightning speed.
"Courting death!"
Seeing the pale purple butterfly launching an attack without hesitation, a trace of anger appeared on the Void Beast's innocent face. Instantly, a vast amount of Dou Qi surged from its body. The Void Beast then pushed forward with its small hand, and a silver Dou Qi beam, over ten meters long, shot towards the pale purple butterfly.
"Whoo..."
Although the pale purple butterfly flew extremely fast, the Void Beast's attack was even faster. In an instant, the silver Dou Qi beam struck the right wing of the pale purple butterfly, causing an indescribable sound to emanate from its mouth.
"Wow, Void Beast sister, you're amazing!" Seeing the Void Beast hit the rapidly flying purple butterfly with one strike, Xiao Yixian immediately turned into a fangirl, constantly praising the Void Beast.
"Hehe, Sister Xian'er, it was nothing!"
Hearing Xiao Yixian's praise, the Void Beast rubbed its small hands together and gave a shy smile.
"Void Beast sister, even though you hit the Nether Poison Fire, you can't let your guard down. The most terrifying aspect of the Nether Poison Fire is its poison. If an ordinary person gets even a spark on them, they will die!" Remembering the information she had read about the Nether Poison Fire, Xiao Yixian suddenly reminded her.
"Mm!"
Hearing Xiao Yixian's reminder, the Void Beast's face became serious.
The purple butterfly, after being hit on its right wing by the Void Beast, looked even fiercer with its ghostly eyes.
"Whoo..."
With an indescribable screech, the purple butterfly suddenly started flying in a strange trajectory in the air, spiraling towards Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast again. Its light and agile movements made it seem like it was dancing.
"Is it... using a movement Dou Technique?" Seeing the purple butterfly's current flight path, Xiao Yixian murmured to herself.
