Chapter 89: The Change of the Fire Spirit Pearl
However, Hai Tian's words had no effect at all. Breck even turned back and made a face: "This bead contains such a huge amount of energy, if I get it, I will definitely surpass you! Think about making me stop? Don't dream about it! This red bead is mine!"
As he spoke, Blake directly rushed towards the red bead. Everyone was completely unable to stop Blake's actions, including Haitian.
"That despicable bastard, he wants to die and is dragging us down with him." Hai Tian clenched his fists in hatred.
An old man in a green robe walked up and asked inexplicably: "What's going on? From what you just said, it seems like there's some kind of danger?"
"It's not just danger, he's not only harming himself, but also us." Haitian furrowed his brow, his eyes fixed on Breck in front of him.
His words had barely fallen when Blake, who rushed to the high platform wanting to take away the Fire Spirit Pearl, suddenly let out a mournful cry, causing everyone present to turn their heads in unison.
The Huo Ling Pearl emitted a fierce flame that instantly burned onto Blake's hand, causing him to roll around on the ground in agony, but the flames refused to be extinguished.
"Blake!" Although Xiaoyun and others were somewhat dissatisfied with Blake's performance, they were still companions after all, and immediately exclaimed in concern.
The old man in the green robe didn't waste any words and immediately rushed to Breck's front, a red sword spirit energy emerging from his palm to try and extinguish the fierce flames on Breck's hand.
But surprisingly, the raging flames did not diminish, but instead grew even more intense, and with Blake's mournful cries, it made the people around, including Xiaoyun, tremble with fear.
The old man in the green robe also had a cold sweat on his face, although Breck was somewhat of an idiot, but he was after all his most favored student, how could he bear to watch him suffer such pain? Only the old man in the green robe did not think that his actions would actually be counterproductive.
"Is it possible for you, a fire-attributed sword wielder, to use the power of your fire-attributed sword spirit to extinguish flames? This is a matter of utmost yang and utmost hardness!" The sudden sound of Haotian's cold voice caused the blue-robed old man, who was already anxious and flustered, to change his expression.
"Xiao Yun, you're a water-attribute swordsman, come give it a try." The old man in green immediately shifted his gaze to Xiao Yun, the only water-attribute swordsman present.
Xīn de shàn liáng de xiǎo yún jiàn dào bù léi kè nà tòng kǔ de yàng zi, xīn zhōng yě fēn de nán shòu, èr huà bù shuō, lì jí zǒu shàng qián lái, yùn qǐ tǐ nèi de shuǐ xì jiàn lì lái xiǎng yào jiǎo miè bù léi kè yòu shǒu shàng de huǒ yàn.
"Hiss!" The water-elemental sword spirit touched the red flames, producing a burst of sound, and a cluster of steam suddenly rose up.
However, the flame on Breck's right hand did not go out.
"How could this be?" Xiao Yun's heart was racing with anxiety.
The old man in green clothes also had a worried face, and his gaze was directed at Haitian. They themselves seemed to have not noticed that they had unknowingly taken Haitian as their mainstay, and whenever there was a problem, they would look for Haitian.
Ke Haitian is not omnipotent either, let alone that he has no way to extinguish the flames, even if he does have a way, he won't do it. Breck has already shown his hostility towards him three times, and it's good that he didn't go looking for trouble with Breck.
Save him? This is absolutely impossible!
"You don't need to look at me, I have no choice either. Xiaoyu's water-element sword spirit is too weak and can't extinguish the flames emitted by the fire spirit pearl. Now, there's only one way to save his life: immediately cut off his right hand. Otherwise, if the flames spread to his arm and body, it will be too late." Haitian was also kind-hearted and gave them a suggestion.
Although Breck was in great pain, he could still hear the words of Haitian and others. He thought that if he got the Fire Spirit Pearl, he would be able to surpass Haitian and regain his prestige in Xiaoyun's eyes. However, he never expected that he would end up like this, without his right hand, he was equivalent to a useless person.
"No! I won't!" Breck's hoarse voice shouted.
"Rumble, rumble!" On the high platform inlaid with Fire Spirit Pearls, a sudden and violent sound burst forth. The entire ground seemed to shake again, as the surging fire-elemental energy continuously spouted out in all directions, wave after wave.
"Heavens, his expression was stern, furrowed brows: 'Damn it, we're all going to be killed by this guy.'"
"What's going on here?" The old man in green robe immediately came to Haitian's side, staring at the changes in front of him with a stunned expression. Everything here was indeed too strange, but Haitian seemed to understand it very well.
For example, the Fire Spirit Pearl, he had never heard of it before. However, he could also sense the powerful energy contained within the Fire Spirit Pearl, and if he could get it, he believed that he would be able to advance to Sword Emperor in no time.
Having Brek's precedent in mind, he could only sigh in regret. But the current fluctuations have caused intense unease in his heart as the Sword King.
Her eyes were fixed tightly on the Fire Spirit Pearl on the high platform, and she said coldly without turning her head: "You guys hurry up and help him make a decision, if you don't hurry, it will be too late, there is still a battle waiting for us."
"But... but if he loses his hand, won't he become a cripple?" Xiaoyun couldn't bear the thought.
At this time, the Huo Ling Pearl on the high platform also began to shake violently, and the speed of the fire energy injection was getting faster and faster. Hai Tian gritted his teeth, turned around and roared: "Faster! If we don't hurry up, we'll all die here!"
The roar of the sea, frightened everyone, even the old man in green clothes was slightly startled. However, as the Sword King, the turmoil in his heart grew more and more intense.
Turning around, the old man in green clothes gritted his teeth and stared at Breck's painful face: "Breck, for your own good, I can only cut off your palm now."
"Don't...!" Blake's eyes widened in alarm as he bellowed.
The old man in the green robe didn't care about his opposition, and immediately borrowed Haotian's Huoyun Sword to cut off Blake's right hand. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
Xiao Yun and Xili, two girls, were so frightened that they directly covered their eyes, and even Shumi, a boy, couldn't bear to look and turned his head away.
Haitian also turned his head, for Breck's encounter, he not only had no sympathy, but also thought it was already considered light! If according to his meaning, killing him would not be enough to atone for the crime!
The intense pain caused Blake to faint, but the old man in green clothes didn't care about that and immediately bandaged him up simply. He then had Xiaoyun and Shili, the two girls, carry the fainted Blake to the back.
After doing all this, the old man in green immediately walked to Haitian's side, looking together at the increasingly fierce fire spirit bead: "Haitian, what is this fire spirit bead after all? Why haven't I ever heard of it?"
"The Soul Sword Continent is so vast that no one dares to guarantee that they have seen everything. This Fire Spirit Pearl is the concentrated essence of fire energy from heaven and earth, formed after a long period of time, with unmatched energy." Finally, Haitian found that the old man in green clothes and Xiaoyun were staring at him in surprise, immediately remembering his current identity, hurriedly adding, "I just saw it in an ancient book, this is my first time seeing it."
"What's that old book?" The old man in the green robe muttered to himself, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Why did you keep saying we would be killed by Breck just now?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the old man in green clothes, but also Xiaoyun and others noticed.
Haitian's eyes were fixed tightly on the Fire Spirit Pearl, which was emitting more and more fire-type energy. Thinking of Blake's brainless behavior earlier made him furious: "We didn't feel the heat emitted by the Fire Spirit Pearl before because a layer of prohibition had been set up around it. Earlier, when Blake touched it, this layer of prohibition was completely destroyed."
"Seal? That's a very profound thing, it seems that this underground cave is not simple at all." The old man in green clothes was even more surprised, he didn't expect Haotian to know about the seal, and it seemed like he had even experienced it. He himself only knew about it, but had never actually seen one before.
Xiao Yun and the other three had a confused expression on their faces, they didn't even know what a seal was.
"What will happen after the seal on the Fire Spirit Pearl's energy is broken?" Feeling the violent and rampant fire-elemental energy around him, the old man in green robes felt an increasing sense of foreboding.
"Generally speaking, where the Fire Spirit Pearl is formed, it must be connected to the underground magma. Once the Fire Spirit Pearl loses its seal, it will trigger a volcanic eruption!" Hai Tian gritted his teeth, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Magma!" The crowd let out a collective gasp, magma being something they had all heard of, an extremely terrifying substance. To say nothing of the green-robed old man, this Sword King, even if a high-ranking master from the Sword Emperor or Sword Sect were to come, they would probably not be able to handle it well either.
Seeing the shocked faces of everyone, Hai Tian's heart became even heavier: "If it were just magma, that would be fine. The problem is if that thing appears, we will almost have no chance to leave this place."
"What's that? What thing?" The old man in green clothes hastily asked.
But at this moment, the high platform inlaid with fire spirit beads suddenly shattered, and several red beams of light suddenly spewed out, touching the ceiling, those hard rocks instantly melted away, and a beam of external light appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's magma!" The crowd exclaimed. Magma had already pierced through the top layer of this cave.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!......" Then, several lava flows suddenly erupted again, and everything they passed through was melted. The scorching high temperature made Haitian and others sweat like rain.
"Damn it!" Hai Tian cursed in his heart, his eyes fixed on the Fire Spirit Pearl surrounded by magma.
"Teacher, what should we do?" Xiaoyun and the others were very frightened. After all, they were just 17 or 18 years old, and it was their first time seeing such a terrifying substance. How could they not be afraid?
Not to mention Xiaoyun and the others, even the old man in green himself couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He had never seen magma before, but in order to maintain his dignity in front of Xiaoyun and the others, he struggled to control his body from trembling.
"What shall we do now, Haitian?" The old man in green clothes could only ask Haitian, he was already completely at a loss.
If it were to be put outside, absolutely no one would believe that a dignified Sword King, at the moment of life and death, not only had no idea of his own, but also asked a thirteen-year-old boy who was only an eight-star swordsman!
Perhaps in their eyes, Hai Tian is no longer a young man, but their spiritual pillar!
Haitian didn't respond to the old man in green's words, his eyes still fixed tightly on the fire spirit pearl. The sword spirit power inside him was circulating wildly, and the palm of his hand had already turned bright red.
Suddenly, the Fire Spirit Pearl, which had been surrounded by magma all along, suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Countless magmas gathered around the Fire Spirit Pearl.
Dazzling light made it impossible for Haitian and others to open their eyes, so they had to cover their foreheads with their hands.
Before long, that dazzling red light gradually dimmed down. The old man in green and others immediately looked over, all of them shouting in shock: "What is this?"
