Chapter 726 The Imprisoned Flame Demon
Ye Kang had seen a Wood Spirit during his first entrance trial. It was a strange creature that resembled an elf and was controlled by a master who cultivated wood-attribute techniques. It could easily monitor all movements.
These little red things in front of me look exactly like flame versions of little wood spirits.
Of course, fire spirits are completely different from docile wood spirits. When these guys saw Ye Kang, the intruder, they didn't hesitate to spew out magma and attack his face.
Ye Kang flicked his finger, and the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi was instantly released, directly shattering the magma and piercing through the small fire spirits.
The fire spirits that were attacked exploded and merged into the magma. Ye Kang knew that this did not mean that the fire spirits were dead. As long as they were soaked in the magma for a sufficient amount of time, they could be restored to their original state.
He pressed onward, his sword energy shattering countless fire spirits, and the road ahead gradually widened.
It was a scorching lava field with only stone pillars standing in the center, and at the end of the stone pillars, there was a giant stone platform located in the center of the mountain.
On the stone platform, eight enormous chains pierced through the mountain, tightly binding a humanoid creature shaped like flames.
It was described as humanoid, but its entire body was engulfed in flames, and it was over eight meters tall, as strong as a bear. Its face was covered with furious red veins, making it look extremely terrifying.
This must be the Flame Demon imprisoned by the Sword Demon. Despite being a powerful alien creature, he was used as a hot spring heater by a human martial artist, which is truly unfortunate.
Upon seeing Ye Kang, the demon's expression changed drastically, and it began to frantically pull on the chains.
"Who are you! Who sent you! Let me go! I want to get out!"
The fire demon roared incessantly, clearly possessing extremely high intelligence.
Ye Kang took a deep breath and shouted, "You are the Flame Demon?"
"Who are you! Who is that villain to you!"
"Which villain?"
"Nonsense! It's that bastard who locked me up here! I wish I could skin him alive to vent my anger!"
Ye Kang shook his head: "Senior Flame Demon, you misunderstand. I am Ye Kang, an ordinary martial artist. The Unforgivable Sword Immortal you mentioned has been dead for ten thousand years."
"Of course I know! It's because that bastard wouldn't let me go even after I was dead that I've been locked up here for nearly ten thousand years! That's why I hate him to the bone!"
The fire demon grew even angrier, roaring hysterically as countless magma surged and leaped high like ocean waves, engulfing the central stone pillar.
Ye Kang's face turned pale. The Flame Demon had been locked up for nearly ten thousand years, yet it still possessed such a terrifying aura.
This absolutely surpasses the Star Luo Realm!
He quickly said, "Senior, please calm down. The Unforgiving Sword Immortal is already dead. No matter how much you scold him, it won't make a difference."
As he spoke, he observed the Flame Demon's expression; the demon was gritting its teeth, and killing intent was surging in its eyes.
"Death is not enough! I will destroy everything here, burn his Dao Integration Domain to ashes, and burn his corpse to the ground too!"
"Senior, do you know where the body of the Unforgiving Sword Immortal is?"
"I don't know, but as long as I can get out, I'll find out sooner or later. Kid, since you were able to find this place, there are only two possibilities."
"One, you are a descendant of that bastard. Two, you stumbled upon this by accident. I'll assume you're the second one for now. I'll give you a chance. Let me out, and I'll give you an incredible opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's brows furrowed: "What kind of opportunity?"
"Don't you human martial artists love to learn all the martial arts techniques in the world? I'll teach you a supreme fire technique. As long as you practice diligently, you can become the number one fire-wielding martial artist in the world!"
"That sounds good, but I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage. How can I possibly help you, senior?"
"Damn it, we finally found a living person, but he's so weak. Fine, fine, I'll sacrifice some of my essence to give you some power, and then you'll be able to burn these chains."
"Injecting the source? Senior is joking. Wouldn't that make me completely at your mercy?"
Ye Kang shook his head and smiled, immediately refusing.
The Flame Demon immediately became agitated: "What are you saying! Why would I lie to you? You're so weak, why would I need to control you? If I could burn through these chains myself, why would I need your help!"
Seeing that Ye Kang remained unmoved, he continued, "And do you think my essence is something that is easy to obtain? Even if you only have a little bit, as long as you can absorb it, you will gain a great improvement, condense true fire, temper your physical body, and your future cultivation of fire techniques will be twice as effective. This is a benefit that others can only envy!"
The Flame Demon stared intently at Ye Kang, trying to reason with him and appeal to his emotions.
In truth, he was nearly frantic with worry. Ten thousand years had passed, and he had finally encountered a living person, giving him a chance to escape. He desperately hoped that this kid would agree as soon as possible.
Of course, I also told some trivial little lies.
In other words, after escaping, it will activate its source to refine him and turn him into its own nourishment. This human's strength is lowly, and it is his good fortune to become a part of the main body. How can it not be a good thing?
The Flame Demon had a clever plan, and then deliberately spat out a mouthful of fire elemental energy.
He said weakly, "This is my origin. If you swallow it, you will naturally possess the divine power of my original self, which can ignite the Flame Demon Fire and destroy these damned chains!"
Ye Kang was silent for a moment: "Senior, can't you burn it yourself?"
"Nonsense! That damned bastard set up a restriction. Even if I possess the most powerful true fire in the world, I can't burn through these damned iron chains, but others can. Otherwise, why would I be wasting my breath? Do you want this kind of opportunity or not?"
"The most powerful true fire in the world? Is that really true?"
"Hmph, of course it's true. Who do you think I am? Flame Demon is just a clan name. I am a genius among the Flame Demon clan, a born fire king. What in this world can burn me?"
"It's that powerful! Even the Heavenly Spirit Fire can't do it?"
"Um... do you even know how to talk? What level is the Heavenly Spirit Fire? Is it something everyone has? I've never even seen one, how can you compare it!"
Seeing the Flame Demon's boastful attitude, Ye Kang couldn't help but sneer.
Is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth so rare to see?
I've only been in this world for a short time, and I've already encountered two flowers.
Although one of them had already become food for the Azure Flame.
Moreover, this old fellow is definitely up to no good, so let's play along and let him experience a little bit of the shock of heavenly fire.
Ye Kang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Senior expert, I am willing to believe you, but may I take a look at that fire technique first?"
"Get lost! You think you can get something for nothing? If you don't help me escape first, you'll get nothing!"
"In that case, we will listen to what you say, senior."
Ye Kang bowed and agreed.
The Flame Demon was overjoyed. He suppressed his excitement and sent a portion of his essence forward, flying straight towards Ye Kang.
