Chapter 1469 Fire of the Blue Lotus

The creepy floating head filled Tang Ningyu And Mu Chaoran’s vision. Although the head was spectral, those slithering snakes she had for hair were real energy entities.

“You really are taking my kindness for granted. If I don’t show you who’s boss, you won’t know how to show respect.” Lord Demon snorted coldly. His right hand immediately went forward in a claw shape.

The snake head behind him also creepily flew forward and pounced towards Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran.

Tang Ningyu stepped forward and pushed out with one hand.

Suddenly, deafening thunder echoed throughout the entire hall. A lightning net quickly appeared above the place they stood to protect them.

Bang!

The snake heads crashed into the purple lightning net and created a deafening sound.

The large shockwave caused the ground below them to shake.

Tang Ningyu’s expression turned red and then white. Blood continuously to trickle down from the corner of his lips.

Being still at the peak of a titled domain realm formidable warrior and having not reached the imperial realm, he couldn’t completely defend against the assault of an imperial stage domain expert. The only thing he could rejoice was that Lord Demon never planned to actually kill him so he intentionally lowered his energy output. Otherwise, this attack, even if Tang Ningyu didn’t die, would still severely injure him.

Right at that moment, Mu Chaoran, who had been standing beside Tang Ningyu, slowly disappeared. In the end, he had completely vanished.

Lord Demon already knew how strong Tang Ningyu was just by testing him once. He now knew Tang Ningyu wasn’t on par with him. Realizing that, Lord Demon snorted coldly and reached out with a clenched hand. Along with the movement of his hand, countless snake heads flew out from behind him and rushed towards Tang Ningyu’s lightning barrier.

Suddenly, Lord Demon’s expression fell as he quickly retracted his hand. The countless snake heads also rushed back and covered up Lord Demon’s entire body.

Boom! Purple-ish blue flames suddenly erupted in a three meter diameter from the position where Lord Demon was standing.

From above, it actually began to slowly look like a fully bloomed purple-ish blue fire lotus flower.

Inside the fire lotus, Lord Demon slowly opened a crack from the snakes that wrapped around his body and showed his flirtatious and devil-like face.

“Blue lotus flames!” he said with a stunned expression on his face.

He originally belittled Mu Chaoran. Now, he couldn’t help but be cautious towards him.

“Luckily, it hadn’t turned completely blue. Otherwise, I would have definitely been severely injured if I didn’t prepare for it.”

Blue lotus flames was the ultimate technique the fire element domain masters could execute. The strength of the flames were based on color. Red was considered to be the beginner level of the technique. Purple flames were in between and the ultimate color was blue. The purer the blue color, the stronger the flames.

Of course, once he could completely control blue lotus flames, it would mean that Mu Chaoran would have officially advanced to the imperial realm.

Lord Demon didn’t expect Mu Chaoran, who kept hiding behind Tang Ningyu looking like an aide, to be actually stronger than Tang Ningyu. He had actually managed to get close to the door to becoming an imperial realm expert.

“That’s odd. You’re stronger than him, so why did you become his deputy?” Lord Demon’s gaze fell upon a certain place in the plaza and asked softly.

In Lord Demon’s mind, it should be survival of the fittest. That was why he didn’t understand why Mu Chaoran would yield to Tang Ningyu when he was much stronger.

“Strong?” a mocking tone echoed from within the blue lotus flames. Mu Chaoran’s body slowly appeared out of it.

“What would that matter?” Mu Chaoran smiled coldly. “One’s destined to a status based on their talents and family background.”

Tang Ningyu frowned slightly. It was not sure whether it was because he was in pain from his injuries or it was because of Mu Chaoran’s words.

After hearing that, a smile instantly formed on Lord Demon’s face. “Oh? That annoying habit of yours feels very familiar…”

“I thought you already knew about our backgrounds.” Mu Chaoran sneered.

“You’re a brave kid.” Lord Demon’s smile became even more flirtatious. “But I like that.”

“Brave?”
