Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1598: Chapter 658: Obtaining the Mutant Fire

A strand of soul, like peeling silk from a cocoon, drifted out from Little Xie’s body and was swallowed whole by the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

The situation suddenly reversed.

At the moment of Little Xie’s death, the reception hall fell into a dead silence.

The Wanxiang City Lord’s face turned gray; he intended to stop it, but Little Xie was already beyond saving.

How could this happen?

The magic power of the Senluo Mother Vine was clearly suppressed by the Luoshu Mountain River Map, logically, the Ghost Fruit King should be in a dormant stage, how could it suddenly erupt and cruelly devour Little Xie’s soul?

Being severely injured could still be treated, but a devoured soul, how can one save that?

The situation exceeded the Wanxiang City Lord’s expectations; this contest could not go on anymore.

He moved his Divine Sense, intending to retrieve the Luoshu Mountain River Map and release Ling Yue.

But unexpectedly, the painting shook again, and a ripple transmitted from within the drawing.

In an instant, the entire reception hall buzzed with a resonant sound, smashing pots and tables everywhere, like the weaker cultivated ones such as Tian Qi, were only kept from falling because someone held them.

”City Lord, what is going on?”

Bo Qing and the others came to their senses and, disregarding the Wanxiang City Lord’s status, questioned him.

”Well... Even I am at a loss, it seems some issue has arisen with the Luoshu Mountain River Map.”

The Wanxiang City Lord also looked troubled.

Beside him, Xi Jiuye’s expression was somber as he stared at the painting.

The reason for the Senluo Ghost Fruit King’s sudden commotion, no one present knew more about it than Xi Jiuye.

On that night, Xi Jiuye used a part of his Divine Power to save Ye Lingyue.

That Divine Power destroyed a small part of the seal on the Luoshu Mountain River Map, causing the Senluo Ghost Fruit’s power to erupt.

”Can an issue explain everything? Let her out!”

Bo Qing shouted in anger, his eyes bloodshot; if it weren’t for Brother Tang keeping him back, Bo Qing would have rushed forward to fight the Wanxiang City Lord.

”I want to release her, but given the current situation, you saw it too, the Luoshu Mountain River Map isn’t listening to commands. Captain Ye must rely on her own strength to come out.”

The Wanxiang City Lord replied irritably.

”Captain Ye, can you hear my words?”

The Wanxiang City Lord’s voice transmitted into the painting through the Luoshu Mountain River Map.

”City Lord, I heard all you said. Bo Qing, Brother Tang, you must not be disrespectful to the City Lord. Once I have the vine, I will find a way to come out.”

Ye Lingyue also noticed that just now, when the Senluo Ghost Fruit King killed Little Xie, the fruit king’s momentum had significantly strengthened.

The certainty in Ye Lingyue’s words eased Bo Qing and Tang Tiansong’s anxious feelings.

Yet, upon further reflection, isn’t it strange? At this point, Ye Lingyue still intends to seize the vine.

Does she mean to continue the contest?

As her words fell, she made a swift dive.

The crowd wondered what she was up to.

They saw her fingers close, and the Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand activated; a red flame quickly landed in Ye Lingyue’s palm.

Upon realizing what Ye Lingyue held, Tang Tianqi exclaimed.

After Little Xie’s soul was devoured by the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, his Lifebound Strange Fire, the Red Scorpion Fire, immediately reverted to fire form, dropping to the ground.

And Ye Lingyue’s target was precisely that Red Scorpion Fire.

The Red Scorpion Fire, which terrified even Tang Tianqi to touch, ended up in Ye Lingyue’s hand.

She actually used her hand to seize a Lifebound Strange Fire; how audacious this woman is.

The crowd gasped.

Hong Mingyue watched secretly, revealing a hint of anticipation.

Reflecting on being physically harmed by Ye Lingyue earlier, Hong Mingyue’s heart bore a twisted hope.

May the Red Scorpion Fire burn this woman, scorching her beyond recognition, to the uttermost.

But Hong Mingyue suddenly found it hard to breathe.

What!

Ye Lingyue’s hand wasn’t charred; instead, her fingers showed no signs of burns.

On closer inspection, a cluster of gray fire flickered like a glowfly on Ye Lingyue’s palm.

Turned out, she used her own Lifebound Fire to envelop the Red Scorpion Fire, thus rendering it unable to harm her.

Bah, that inferior white fire dares combat the mutated Red Scorpion Fire, this woman is not only foolish but also overestimating her capabilities.

Tang Tianqi and Third Young Master Jin sneered, waiting for Ye Lingyue to reap her own folly.

Bo Qing and Tang Tiansong held their breath in anxiety.

Yet Xi Jiuye gazed at Ye Lingyue’s hand as though he saw something through her palms.

The mutated fire seed that absorbed demon beast souls.

Such splendid item.

Ye Lingyue held the scorching Red Scorpion Fire in her hand, her eyes burning with eagerness.

Rarely did she see a strange fire that appealed to her.

Behind her, the cacophony of gnawing echoed.

The Senluo Mother Vine feasted on Little Xie’s corpse.

”Little Xie, I’ve set my eyes on your fire.”

Since the first moment Little Xie summoned the Red Scorpion Fire, Ye Lingyue took an interest in it.

She obtained the Swallowing Hundred Fire Technique from the Long Family.

Yet in Qing Province Continent, the hundred fires were sparse; she had only devoured the Netherworld Fire, Glazed Ghost Fire, Purple Fire Spirit among four strange fires, added to her gray fire, the total was far less than the hundred fires.

Little Xie’s Red Scorpion Fire, though not born a strange fire, earned merit as a mutated fire seed, managing to catch Ye Lingyue’s interest.

Thus, from the first glance, Ye Lingyue marked it in her thoughts.

Challenging Little Xie, luring him into the Drawing Array alone, seizing the strange fire, was her preemptive plan.

Contrary to her expectations, Little Xie was so powerless, unable to withstand a few blows, swiftly slain by the Senluo Ghost Vine.

Heh~ Anyway, it turned out fine, so many witnessed that Little Xie died at the Senluo Mother Vine.

She merely picked up the remnants of his Lifebound Strange Fire.

On her palm, sensing Ye Lingyue’s intention, the Red Scorpion Fire struggled.

Its honor as a strange fire resisted the fusion with mere inferior white fire.

At the Flame Heart, the fierce Fire Flame Scorpion fought back.

Its pitch-black powerful tail, laced with flames, smashed fiercely against the gray fire.

Yet the seemingly weak gray fire displayed remarkable resilience.

Its tongues flickered incessantly.

Suddenly, the originally gray flame showed a patch of blue mixed with glazed hues.

Following, the flames faintly showed purple light.

Each color change in the gray fire made the onlookers outside the Luoshu Mountain River Map twitch their eyelids.

This cluster of inferior fire seed from Ye Lingyue, unexpectedly flashed multiple colors!

This fire can change color!
