He asked with a puzzled look, "Who exactly are you? How did you come to have the Xuanhuo Mirror, the treasure of my Burning Incense Valley?"
He didn't know how many times he had asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Unfortunately, Li Yao ignored his questions, which frustrated him greatly.
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Are all the people of Fenxiang Valley this shameless? This Xuanhuo Mirror is clearly the magic weapon of the witch Linglong. When did it become the treasure of your Fenxiang Valley?"
"You actually knew about this?"
Shangguan Ce was startled.
Few people know the origin of the Mysterious Fire Mirror; even among the people of Burning Incense Valley, very few know it.
Unexpectedly, the other party knew everything.
Now, the fire beast has escaped his control in the face of the Xuanhuo Mirror.
He had no choice but to find another way to deal with Li Yao.
His eyes darted around, and with a flick of his hand, a flash of dark blue light appeared.
At the same time, a sharp gust of wind suddenly arose.
Within this extremely hot Xuanhuo Altar, an extremely cold aura suddenly appeared and spread out.
Before Shangguan Ce appeared a strange, dark blue magical artifact, shaped like a cone.
Under his control, countless thin, dark blue ice spikes shot out from the magic weapon, densely packed towards Li Yao.
Nine Cold Ice Spikes?
Li Yao looked with great interest at the strange magical artifact in front of Shangguan Ce.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Cold Ice Spikes could release incredibly cold ice spikes in such a hot environment.
This clearly shows that the Nine Cold Ice Spike is indeed a rare and precious magic weapon.
No wonder the Six-Tailed Fox was defeated by Shangguan Ce's Nine Cold Ice Spikes, causing it to suffer from cold poison for three hundred years.
It remains to be seen whether the Nine Cold Ice Spikes will still be as powerful in the face of Heavenly Fire!
Li Yao smiled slightly, and a ball of crimson flame had already condensed in his hand.
"This...this is heavenly fire?!"
Shangguan Ce's pupils suddenly contracted.
The Heavenly Fire in Li Yao's hand was the power he had always dreamed of.
He and his senior brother studied diligently for many years, but they were still unable to unravel the secrets of the Heavenly Fire.
But now, it is a young man who has easily condensed heavenly fire.
This... is simply unbelievable!
Who exactly is this person before me?
With a flick of his right hand, Li Yao sent the crimson heavenly fire into the body of the fire beast lying on the ground.
Instantly, the flames of the fire beast surged several times, and its entire body erupted with an even more violent aura.
"Go, kill him!"
Li Yao pointed at Shangguan Ce and issued a command to the fire beast.
From Shangguan Ce's attack on Li Yao with the Nine Cold Ice Spikes to Li Yao's command to the Flame Beast.
The whole process happened in a split second.
Upon receiving the command, the fiery beast pounced on Shangguan Ce.
Countless dark blue ice spikes shot towards the fire beast, instantly turning it into nothingness.
The fiery beast continued its attack, pouncing on Shangguan Ce like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
Before Shangguan Ce could react, he was tackled to the ground.
Instantly, the raging flames on the fire beast ignited Shangguan Ce's body.
No matter how hard he pushed his icy spiritual power, he couldn't extinguish the raging heavenly fire on his body.
With a desperate, unwilling scream, he finally collapsed.
With his last breath, he mustered all his strength and asked, haltingly, "Who...who are you?"
A smile appeared on Li Yao's face as he looked down at Shangguan Ce on the ground and said, "Go to the underworld and find your senior brother, then you will know who I am."
"You...you..."
With great difficulty, Shangguan Ce pointed at Li Yao with his finger, dying without ever understanding who had killed him!
In the end, he turned into ashes, unwilling to accept his fate.
After Shangguan Ce died, Li Yao took away the Xuanhuo Mirror, and the fire beast also disappeared. The firelight on the eight fierce god stone carvings on the ground also dimmed.
Luck Points +41!
Spiritual energy +40!
Divine Soul +43!
...
Li Yao collected the attribute light orb and also put away Shangguan Ce's Nine Cold Ice Spikes.
Then, he glanced around and spotted a hole.
That must be the entrance to the second level of the Mystic Fire Altar.
Without hesitation, Li Yao flashed into the room.
The second level of the Xuanhuo Altar is not as spacious as the first level.
Li Yao glanced at it casually and noticed a very conspicuous platform inside, with constantly changing seven-colored light on it.
Upon closer inspection, one can see a palm-sized groove on it, with the three characters 'Mysterious Fire Mirror' engraved on it.
Without hesitation, Li Yao took out the Mysterious Fire Mirror and placed it into the groove.
Click click click...
A mechanical sound rang out, and an entrance appeared before Li Yao.
The next moment, a beam of pale blue light shone down from the cave entrance.
At the same time, a chill suddenly spread out, dispelling all the heat from the second floor.
Li Yao flashed and entered the third level of the Mysterious Fire Altar.
Unlike the scorching heat of the first and second layers, this third layer is a cold, icy world.
Ice crystals, ice stones, and ice blocks were everywhere, countless in number, radiating a bone-chilling cold.
The sound of ice being crushed underfoot broke the tranquility of the area.
The next moment, from the depths of the deep blue, a soft yet slightly desolate female voice echoed softly: "You are not Shangguan Ce?"
"no!"
Li Yao stared straight into the deep blue depths and smiled slightly.
The woman's voice trailed off for a moment before she asked languidly, "Who are you?"
"Your benefactor!"
Li Yao's smile remained unchanged.
"benefactor?"
The woman chuckled lazily and said, "Don't you think what you said is ridiculous?"
"If you knew that it was Xiao Liu who asked me to come and rescue you, I believe you wouldn't find it so ridiculous!"
Li Yao said it casually.
"Little Six?"
The woman's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.
The next moment, a shadow as huge as a demon began to dance.
Behind it, nine shadows seemed to dance like a nightmare.
Those are the nine tails of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!
As they danced, they seemed to occupy the entire space.
This is a huge white fox, as tall as two people.
Against this deep blue backdrop, its pure white fur appeared even whiter and more exquisitely beautiful.
The soft down was even smoother than the finest silk Li Yao had ever seen.
With an excited voice, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox asked, "Are you really here to save me at Xiao Liu's request? Is Xiao Liu still alive?"
"good!"
Li Yao nodded slightly and said, "However, if you want me to rescue you, you must first agree to one condition!"
Chapter 402 Reaching Out
"condition?"
The nine-tailed celestial fox was taken aback for a moment.
Immediately, she chuckled softly and said in an extremely charming voice, "As long as you can get me out of here, I will agree to any condition you set!"
His tone seemed to carry an endless allure.
"Yeah?"
Li Yao smiled faintly and said, "Don't go back on your word later!"
"Our fox clan has always kept its word, unlike you humans who only know how to use sweet words and have no sincerity among you."
