Chapter 724: Chapter 724: The Girl in the Blood-stained Dress
“Using your own blood as fuel to ignite the Flame God Lamp, you certainly took a detour,” said the Giant Turtle Demon King, speaking words that didn’t entirely match the note of profound seriousness in his expression.
After all, it was the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, the supreme treasure of a powerful predecessor, the Flame Emperor. Even if there was only one, it bore immense power.
“Killing you, I can use your demon blood to ignite this ancient lamp.” Xuan Emperor coldly declared, holding the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, blowing towards the Giant Turtle Demon King.
For a time, a sea of fire surged, and endless flames billowed out from the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, erupting like a volcano.
“My God! Isn’t this too terrifying?”
“Mountain burning and sea boiling! Perhaps even the methods of the strongest ancients were no more than this?”
...“Too terrifying! Even when so far apart, I can feel the heat of the flame!”
····
Many martial artists showed horrified expressions, particularly the lower-rank martial artists, who felt a deep-seated fear of Xuan Emperor and the Ancient Lamp of Flame God.
These people, including the Demon Suppressing King and Prince Hai, were seeing Xuan Emperor using the Ancient Lamp of Flame God for the first time. They had only heard of the power of the Ancient Lamp of Flame God before, but being truly exposed to its might was an entirely different experience.
A sea of fire swept toward the Hundred Beast Mountain, and the first to suffer were a group of demon beasts.
Even though the fire wasn’t directed at them, the terrifying shockwave caused a large group of demon beasts to melt instantaneously, letting out miserable screams.
Even the Demon King was panicked and fled, daring not to get swept by the sky-covering sea of fire.

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the Silver Fox escaped at a remarkable speed, directly hiding inside the Hundred Beast Mountain.
The Demon Suppressing King, who was in the midst of the demon beasts, should have been swept by this sea of fire as well, but Xuan Emperor took action, directly grabbing him back and saving Demon Suppressing King’s life.
“You’ve worked hard,” said Xuan Emperor to Demon Suppressing King.
Demon Suppressing King saluted Xuan Emperor with a fist-pound and said lightly, “I’m just doing what I should.”
Xuan Emperor stared deeply at Demon Suppressing King, without saying anything more.
At this moment, the demon beasts were fleeing in a hurry, completely different from the previous powerful charge at Demon Suppressing City.
But no matter how fast the demon beasts fled, they couldn’t compete with the speed of the sky-covering flames. Countless demon beasts were buried in the sea of fire.
“Good! Burn, you damn beasts!”
“Long live Xuan Emperor!”
“With Xuan Emperor and the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, no demon dares to cause trouble!”
···
Many martial artists burst into cheers. They had almost despaired earlier, thinking they were going to die in this sea of demon beasts. However, the appearance of Xuan Emperor holding the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, wiping out these demon beasts, completely turned the tide of the situation.
The Giant Turtle Demon King saw the heavy casualties of the demon beasts and did not just stand by. Its turtle shell, which looked like a mountain, lit up with specks of light.
Hum!
An array rose from the back of the Giant Turtle Demon King, creating a soft blue curtain of light blocking the sea of fire.
The flames approached and hit the blue curtain. Some presumed the blue curtain was fragile, unable to block the flames of the Ancient Lamp of Flame God.
Unexpectedly, the curtain was incredibly sturdy, serving as a net, stopping all the flames.
As a dam holds back the flooding water, the blue curtain did the same, holding back the rolling flames.
The fleeing demon beasts, seeing the flames blocked, were all able to breathe a sigh of relief. But before they could rejoice for long, the blue curtain seemed to lose its strength.
“A mere array won’t save you.” Xuan Emperor said coldly. He had absolute confidence in the Ancient Lamp of Flame God. Even if the Giant Turtle Demon King was strong, it should not be able to withstand the power of the Ancient Lamp of Flame God.
“You think this is just a mere array?” The voice of the Giant Turtle Demon King rang out, and the situation changed once again.
More patterns emerged on its shell, full of mystery, as if someone had deliberately drawn them.
“I can’t use my own strength at will, but the array engraved on my back can deal with your Ancient Lamp of Flame God,” said the Giant Turtle Demon King.
Next moment, a shadow emerged from the shell of the Giant Turtle Demon King.
This figure was not the Giant Turtle Demon King itself, but a human, a woman to be precise.
The girl seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen, but her demeanor was exceptionally cold. Her long hair was loose, and she was wearing a dress of blood-red hue.
If Fang Lin were here, he would’ve gasped in astonishment at this sight. Because he had seen the girl’s face before.
Not in his previous life, but in this one, and not too long ago either,
This girl with long loose hair in a red dress was the younger sister of Demon Saint, the tragic girl who had leapt into a fire and turned into a Demon Sword.
“Hmm?” At this moment, Fang Lin, who was dealing with Zhou Yishui in the Supreme Saint Hall, suddenly felt a ripple from the Nine Palace Bag.
It was the ripple of the blood-colored longsword, which seemed to be extremely impatient.
“There’s a fierce battle outside. The old turtle has also put forth effort, and the power I left on its shell has been triggered,” said the voice of Demon Saint, carrying a hint of complexity and sadness.
Fang Lin frowned. He was no longer in the mood to play with Zhou Yishui and was about to finish him off.
But at that moment, a pitch-black picture flew out of Zhou Yishui’s arms, and a piece of golden stone did the same.
A golden light flowed from the stone, enveloping Zhou Yishui, while the ink-black picture shielded Zhou Yishui and made him escape from the Supreme Saint Hall.
“Damn it!” Fang Lin cursed, not expecting Zhou Yishui to escape. It was a little late for him to catch up now.
“No! He absolutely cannot live!” Fang Lin gritted his teeth, put away the Supreme Saint Hall, and chased after the fleeing Zhou Yishui.
The two ran one after the other, bursting out of the depths of the earth and up into the sky.
“Fang Lin! You should die!” Zhou Yishui, who was shrouded in golden light, turned his head and glared venomously at Fang Lin, his intention to kill immense.
“Zhou Yishui! I’ll kill you today!” Fang Lin shouted, drawing out his blood-colored longsword, intending to kill Zhou Yishui right here.
As soon as the blood-colored longsword appeared, it burst out in a tremendous aura, falling directly towards Zhou Yishui.
Bang!
But the result did not result in Zhou Yishui’s death. The golden stone protected him, and Zhou Yishui was not hurt at all.
Instead, the golden stone developed a crack.
