Chapter 19 Flame Demon
Seeing Ye Nanxiao embrace Ma Xiaotao, the Shrek Seven Devils were initially startled, then all smiled knowingly. 🎈🐠 ❻9hᵘЖ.ᶜ𝑜m ☯🍫
Beibei and Tang Ya suddenly felt a strong resentment around them, and even Lin Susu, who was standing next to Jiang Nannan, was trembling. The three of them turned their heads to look and saw Jiang Nannan with a gentle smile.
As Ye Nanxiao embraced her, a blush immediately appeared on Ma Xiaotao's pretty face. Before she could break free, the "Ye Nanxiao" in front of her suddenly transformed. That's right, "Ye Nanxiao" turned into an ice prison.
Ma Xiaotao was caught off guard and trapped in an ice cell.
While Ma Xiaotao was still somewhat confused, trapped in the ice prison, Ye Nanxiao suddenly appeared on the other side.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Elder Xuan's eyes lit up. He swallowed the chicken leg in one gulp and muttered to himself, "Interesting, very interesting."
Ma Xiaotao quickly realized she had been tricked. Ye Nanxiao grinned, his spirit rings shimmering, and he activated his first spirit skill, sending a large flock of ice pillars of birds rushing towards Ma Xiaotao. This time, Ye Nanxiao used all his strength to unleash the ice pillars of birds.
Seeing the attack coming, Ma Xiaotao was engulfed in flames, trying to quickly melt the ice prison, but unexpectedly the ice prison melted very slowly.
"Ultimate Ice!" Ma Xiaotao suddenly thought.
Having reached the Soul Master level, Ye Nanxiao had mastered the power of Extreme Ice and could apply it to his Soul Skills. If Ye Nanxiao's Soul Power level hadn't been lower than Ma Xiaotao's, he could have easily trapped Ma Xiaotao in the Ice Prison until the end of the match.
"Phoenix Wings Soaring to the Sky!" A pair of enormous fiery wings unfurled from Ma Xiaotao's back, the temperature of the flames on her body increased across the board, her legs bent slightly, and she leaped up, breaking through the ice prison.
Faced with Ye Nanxiao's attack, Ma Xiaotao controlled her fiery wings to envelop herself and forcefully blocked the ice pillars from the flock of birds.
Suddenly feeling a deep chill behind her, Ma Xiaotao kicked out out of her fighting instincts.
A jade-like hand, as clear as crystal, grabbed Ma Xiaotao's beautiful leg, while Ye Nanxiao looked at Ma Xiaotao with a wicked smile.
The thick fog had not yet dissipated when Ma Xiaotao increased the temperature of her flames, which evaporated a large area of ice pillars and created another thick fog, making it impossible for anyone present to see what was happening.
Soon, a humanoid object burst through the fog and flew out of the arena. Upon closer inspection, everyone saw it was a melting humanoid block of ice. Then, they heard Ma Xiaotao angrily shout from within the fog, "Xiao Xiaozi, I've got you!"
Ye Nanxiao was pinned to the ground by Ma Xiaotao. Looking at the furious Ma Xiaotao, Ye Nanxiao still responded with a faint smile. He reached out and gently lifted the hair covering Ma Xiaotao's right eye. This ambiguous action made Ma Xiaotao's face blush even more.
Soon, Ye Nanxiao in front of Ma Xiaotao transformed back into a human-shaped ice block. Having been tricked several times, Ma Xiaotao glanced around, angrily asking, "Just how many ice clones do you have?!"
After looking around for a long time without finding Ye Nanxiao in the thick fog, Ma Xiaotao remained silent for a second, and her fourth soul ring flashed.
This scene made Ye Nanxiao, who was secretly observing, think to himself, "This is bad."
He quickly solidified into an ice ball, enveloping himself, while shouting, "I surrender!"
The ground on the field suddenly turned bright red, and three seconds later a huge pillar of fire erupted from the ground.
After hearing Ye Nanxiao admit defeat, Elder Xuan turned his hand to suppress the erupting pillar of fire, and a surge of earth-yellow soul power swept away the mist on the empty platform.
The crowd finally saw what was happening on the stage: Ma Xiaotao, burning with desire, was flying in the air, while a large ice ball floated opposite her.
Upon seeing the large ice hockey puck, Ma Xiaotao let out a soft snort, extinguished the flames on her body, and landed lightly on the ground.
The ice puck shattered, revealing Ye Nanxiao hidden inside.
As soon as Ye Nanxiao landed, Jiang Nannan ran to the martial arts stage, went to Ye Nanxiao's side, and carefully checked whether Ye Nanxiao was injured.
Elder Xuan coughed and announced the result of the competition: "Ye Nanxiao has won this competition."
Ma Xiaotao immediately glared at Ye Nanxiao, while Dai Yueheng stepped forward and asked the Shrek Seven Devils, "Elder Xuan, could you please give a detailed account of the outcome of this match?"
Elder Xuan took a sip of wine and said only one sentence: "Xiao Tao used her fourth soul skill."
Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, Dai Yueheng returned to his original position, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit as he looked at Ye Nanxiao.
Elder Xuan continued, "You should get to know each other well today. Alright, when you are strong enough to become reserve team members in the future, this title will be your greatest opportunity."
After saying that, she ignored everyone and ran off to continue gnawing on her chicken leg. Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to pull Jiang Nannan away, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in front of him. "What does this crazy woman want with me?" he thought to himself.
Ma Xiaotiao finally remembered his business, but upon seeing Ye Nanxiao, he recalled the ambiguous relationship between Ye Nanxiao and himself on the martial arts stage earlier, and couldn't help but blush. He said, "Hey Xiaoxiao, come with me for a moment."
Without even thinking, Ye Nanxiao refused outright, "I'm not going."
Ma Xiaotiao's eyes widened instantly, staring fiercely at Ye Nanxiao, her beautiful eyes slightly misty. The two stared at each other like that. Just as Jiang Nannan couldn't bear to watch any longer, a chicken leg bone suddenly flew through the air and hit Ye Nanxiao on the head. Xuan Lao wiped his greasy hands on his body.
"Ye Nanxiao, you should go with Ma Xiaotao. One of you is at the pinnacle of ice, and the other is at the pinnacle of fire. It will be helpful for your cultivation. However, it all depends on whether you can withstand Xiaotao's full power." Elder Xuan said while drinking.
Ye Nanxiao was speechless. "If I can't catch it, I'll be finished!" But he didn't dare to say it out loud because of Elder Xuan's imposing presence.
Jiang Nannan patted Ye Nanxiao's fox ears. "Alright, Nanxiao, I'll go back with Xiaoya and the others later." After saying that, she glanced at Ma Xiaotao and walked straight towards Tang Ya.
Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed. She gently rubbed Ye Nanxiao's fox ears with her delicate hand, "Let's go, there'll be meat to eat if you follow Sister Xiaotao."
"If I weren't outmatched, I would have fought back long ago," Ye Nanxiao muttered to himself.
Ma Xiaotao carried Ye Nanxiao to her usual cultivation room, sat cross-legged, and prepared to begin cultivating. She instructed Ye Nanxiao, "I will release all my energy for cultivation later. Phoenix Evil Fire will then emerge. Try to use your Ultimate Ice to counteract my evil fire."
Before Ye Nanxiao could speak, Ma Xiaotao quickly entered a meditative state, letting go of her usual restraints and focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation. Soon, a flame appeared on Ma Xiaotao's body, with a trace of black fire in it, which quickly enveloped her.
Upon seeing this, Ye Nanxiao immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate. Strands of white, cold energy emanated from Ye Nanxiao and slowly spread to Ma Xiaotao.
The evil fire immediately intensified upon contact with Ye Nanxiao's chilling aura, gradually converging towards him as if trying to devour him. However, Ye Nanxiao only slightly collided with the evil fire to test it. He then immediately increased his output of chilling aura, causing white ice to form where he sat, making him appear like an ice statue with his nine tails swaying slightly.
Ma Xiaotao felt a burning heat all over her body, deep in a world of flames. Suddenly, a cool sensation appeared, making Ma Xiaotao unable to resist moving closer to that coolness. However, she quickly calmed her mind and increased the intensity of her cultivation, which caused the evil fire to surge out even more fiercely.
At first, Ye Nanxiao was able to handle it, but Ma Xiaotao increased her cultivation intensity, and the evil fire gathered into a black phoenix, which roared and provoked Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao's forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was slightly pale, clearly unable to withstand the onslaught of the evil fire.
Snow Empress witnessed the entire event from within her spiritual sea and couldn't help but sigh. Ye Nanxiao's soul power was still too low, with a difference of twenty levels between him and Ma Xiaotao. Even with the Ultimate Ice in his body, his own soul power consumption couldn't keep up.
Just as Xue Di was about to lend a helping hand, she suddenly noticed some unusual activity in Ye Nanxiao's demon bloodline. Just as the Evil Fire Phoenix attacked Ye Nanxiao once again, the demon bloodline within Ye Nanxiao resonated with the Evil Fire Phoenix and began to surge violently.
"What's going on? Have you noticed the provocation of the evil fire?" Xue Di didn't dare to be negligent. She flashed and appeared above the seal, her hands facing the sealed ice mountain. If the seal loosened, Xue Di would immediately take action.
Two sharp tiger teeth sprouted from the corners of Ye Nanxiao's mouth, and his nine fox tails were tinged with blood. Two more blood-red lines appeared under each of his eyes. Ye Nanxiao felt a restlessness deep within his body and hurriedly asked Xue Di in his spiritual sea, "Xue'er, what's going on?"
The Snow Emperor said solemnly, "The bloodline within you has sensed the provocation of the Little Phoenix's evil fire. Calm your mind, I need to suppress it with all my might. Otherwise, if my seal is also activated, that will be no laughing matter. The Little Phoenix will have to be suppressed by you."
Ye Nanxiao was somewhat helpless. That bloodline could be considered his golden finger, but Ye Nanxiao could not yet fully control the demonic nature within the bloodline.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Nanxiao increased his soul power output and desperately circulated the Xuan Tian Gong within his body, squeezing out his soul power to resist the erosion of the evil fire. At this moment, Ye Nanxiao was very confused as to how Huo Gua suppressed the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body.
The chill gradually weakened, while the malevolent fire became more aggressive.
Ma Xiaotao felt the heat spreading within her body and was quickly forced to withdraw from her cultivation state.
The evil fire began to erode Ma Xiaotao's mind, and Ma Xiaotao subconsciously made some movements, while Ye Nanxiao, who was practicing the Xuan Tian Gong with his eyes closed, had no chance to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him.
The tearing sound startled Ye Nanxiao. He slightly opened his eyes and saw the snow-white scene before him. Even with Ye Nanxiao's composure, he couldn't help but feel a little hot. He quickly closed his eyes and increased the circulation of the Xuan Tian Gong within his body, squeezing out the soul power within his body.
Ma Xiaotao sensed the chill emanating from Ye Nanxiao and subconsciously moved closer to him.
When the scalding skin touched Ye Nanxiao, Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, "This is bad." He withdrew from his closed-eye state, resisting Ma Xiaotao while sending out a distress signal to Xue Di.
"Xue'er, have you finished? I can't handle this!" Ye Nanxiao asked helplessly.
Ma Xiaotao squirmed restlessly in Ye Nanxiao's arms, which gradually fueled Ye Nanxiao's anger, which even his extreme icy aura couldn't quell.
"It's so hot, and I feel so cold..." Ma Xiaotao groaned softly.
Sensing that his mind was a little unsteady, Ye Nanxiao bit his tongue hard, and the pain brought him back to his senses.
"Could I knock this girl out?" He wondered to himself if knocking Ma Xiaotao out would make his lust even more unrestrained.
Ma Xiaotao hugged Ye Nanxiao tightly, her ample body pressing against him. Ye Nanxiao felt like he was about to suffer internal injuries; his brother was already planning to go camping.
"If Nan Nan finds out, I'll lose my fox fur!" Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to lose his temper, Xue Di finally suppressed the great demon bloodline within Ye Nanxiao's body.
"I think you should take the little phoenix in while you're at it?" Xue Di teased Ye Nanxiao while simultaneously channeling her own chilling aura to quickly suppress the evil fire on Ma Xiaotao's body.
The originally arrogant evil fire instantly collapsed and shrank back into Ma Xiaotao's body after encountering Xue Di.
When all the evil fire was suppressed back into Ma Xiaotao's body, Ma Xiaotao regained her senses. She looked at Ye Nanxiao, then at herself, her face turning bright red at a visible speed, like a boiling kettle. She abruptly pushed Ye Nanxiao away, but then caught sight of a campsite. Although Ma Xiaotao had never experienced romantic love, she knew what it was.
As if a restriction had suddenly been broken, Ye Nanxiao's soul power rapidly became abundant, releasing even stronger chill. A strong chill suddenly emanated from his body, causing Ma Xiaotao's body to stiffen instantly. She let out a comfortable groan, and then the two looked at each other.
"You've already broken through?" Ye Nanxiao asked, bewildered as he felt the incredibly smooth flow of soul power within his body.
"Ugh—" Ma Xiaotao let out a long breath, her starry eyes slightly open. Since awakening her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, she had never felt so comfortable.
From the very first day of her cultivation, she suffered greatly from the torment of the evil fire. As her cultivation level increased, the intensity of the evil fire also increased. Many times, she wanted to give up, or, as Yan Shaozhe suggested, find another way to release it.
But over the years, she has endured it all, and it is no exaggeration to say that her mental fortitude is comparable to Ye Nanxiao's.
