Chapter 518: Chapter 518: The Fall

The sudden appearance of the fireline was too unexpected, its speed astonishingly fast, directly wrapping around the Phoenix Gall in Qin Yi’s hand.

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes carried a hint of mockery, thinking: This punk kid is forcing me to make a move to snatch it, truly losing face.

However, the smile at the corner of her eye instantly froze, because Qin Yi dissipated, vanishing like smoke and dust.

Fake?

The Vermilion Bird frowned, somewhat angrily looking at Qin Yi who appeared dozens of meters away.

"You punk kid, you sure have quite a few tricks."

Qin Yi grinned: "I say, Auntie Vermilion Bird, you’re really something, ambushing me like that."

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes froze; this punk kid actually dared to call her "auntie," isn’t "madam" a more pleasant term?

Murong Qianxun’s eyes showed disapproval; Qin Yi was too unruly and did whatever he pleased, saying and doing anything without restraint.

"Qin Yi, kid, you brought this on yourself."

Qin Yi’s whole body tensed; the person before him was the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Guardian Gods, and he dared not be careless, meeting her with full vigilance.

Swish!

The Vermilion Bird made her move, her figure flickering to appear before Qin Yi, her hand darting for the Phoenix Gall like lightning.

Qin Yi seemed dumbfounded or perhaps unable to react, watching as the Vermilion Bird grabbed the Phoenix Gall.

However, the Vermilion Bird’s face darkened; she was tricked again as Qin Yi’s figure once more dissipated like smoke and dust.

Qin Yi reappeared dozens of meters away, shocked at heart; the Vermilion Bird’s speed was truly too fast, and if not for the Clone Shadow Technique, the Phoenix Gall would have been taken.

The Vermilion Bird looked at Qin Yi, her figure flickering to appear before him once more.

Without thinking, Qin Yi struck, a hand outstretched, sending a massive fist mark whistling forth.

The Vermilion Bird raised her hand and grabbed in mid-air, with a boom, crushing Qin Yi’s handprint as if squeezing tofu.

Qin Yi took the opportunity to shoot backward, simultaneously forming a seal with one hand, lightly lifting it as amber-like eyes burst open, a giant serpent of condensed magma surged toward the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird chuckled lightly: "Playing with fire against me, you’re really playing with fire."

The Vermilion Bird gently raised her jade-like hand, causing the Magma Lake to erupt, several magma streams as thick as an adult’s waist shot out, transforming into giant serpents sweeping toward Qin Yi.

With a boom, Qin Yi’s magma giant serpent was blasted apart, magma splattering.

Qin Yi clenched his single hand into a fist and punched out, fist light booming, sweeping out fiercely.

Boom boom...!

The astonishing explosion shattered all the magma giant serpents the Vermilion Bird had formed with fist light.

Qin Yi had no time to celebrate as two magma streams suddenly emerged at his feet like two snakes, wrapping around his ankles.

Qin Yi’s whole body was enveloped in purple light, shattering the magma shackles binding him. Yet, his waist tightened as a magma chain appeared out of nowhere, wrapping around him.

Just as Qin Yi was about to channel his energy to break free, countless magma chains sprang up from below, encircling his ankles, legs, arms... nearly wrapping him like a cocoon.

"Pathetic trick!"

Qin Yi sneered, purple light sweeping over him to shatter the entangling items.

However, the Vermilion Bird smiled slightly, appearing before him in a blink, reaching out to snatch the Phoenix Gall from his hand.

Qin Yi was shocked, knowing that this was the Vermilion Bird’s domain, where her speed and combat power were greatly enhanced, her speed incredibly fast.

"You wish..."

With the item in Qin Yi’s hand, there was no way anyone could snatch it away from him.

In a moment of desperation, Qin Yi actually opened his mouth and swallowed the Phoenix Gall.

The Vermilion Bird’s face was aghast, practically panicked: "Qin Yi, spit it out, you’ll die."

Murong Qianxun’s face also lost color; even with her current level of cultivation, refining the Phoenix Gall would take decades. Swallowing it directly would incinerate one to ashes instantly, a complete suicide.

The moment Qin Yi swallowed the Phoenix Gall, he regretted it, but it was too late.

The Phoenix Gall forcibly slid down his throat into his stomach, releasing terrifying Red Flames instantly, burning his internal organs, completely destroying his meridians, and spewing dark red Red Flames from his pores, setting him ablaze.

The magma chains surrounding Qin Yi turned to liquid, dropping him into the Magma Lake along with him.

Only then did the Vermilion Bird snap out of it, trying to grab Qin Yi, but it was already too late; his entire person sank into the Magma Lake, completely disappearing.

The Vermilion Bird, with no time to think twice, covered herself in Red Flames and jumped directly into the magma.

"Master?"

Murong Qianxun flew over, full of worry.

Everything happened too suddenly, even she, let alone the Vermilion Bird, didn’t have time to react.

...

...

Minutes later, the Magma Lake exploded, and the Vermilion Bird rushed up.

"Master, how is it?" Murong Qianxun asked.

The Vermilion Bird’s expression was solemn, she shook her head slightly, unable to find even a trace of Qin Yi after diving under.

Murong Qianxun’s face changed slightly; Qin Yi was indeed formidable but had fallen so unexpectedly.

"The power of the Phoenix Gall is terrifying, and that guy actually swallowed it directly..." The Vermilion Bird shook her head; Qin Yi’s demise was lamentable for such a monstrous talent.

In truth, it was Qin Yi’s own reckless actions, daring to consume the Phoenix Gall.

The Vermilion Bird continuously shook her head: "Now, how do I explain this to the Azure Dragon?"

"Master, this can’t be blamed on you, it’s Qin Yi’s own greed."

"While that’s true, for a person destined to shine brightly in the future to meet his end like this, it’s truly a pity."

Murong Qianxun sighed, truly bringing disaster upon oneself can’t be survived, not only ending his life but also destroying the Phoenix Gall; it’s difficult to have any fondness for this person.

Originally, with the Phoenix Gall, her future was destined to be brilliant. But now it’s all been ruined by Qin Yi.

The Vermilion Bird looked at the boiling surface of the Magma Lake, her expression fluctuating, finally speaking slowly after a long time: "Let’s go! You head back to the Vermilion Bird Mountain first, I’ll visit the Azure Dragon Mountain."

...

...

"I say this Murong Qianxun is really something, isn’t she? Being one of the top ten experts, yet she lost to Qin Yi and even called upon the Vermilion Bird Guardian God; how is this different from a child losing a fight and calling their parents?" Yue Lan said indignantly.

The others nodded in agreement, feeling quite displeased.

Cong Yang said gloomily: "I wonder what happened to Qin Yi?"

The group looked sullen; they were ordered by Qin Yi to stay here, allowing no one to approach. But with the Vermilion Bird Guardian God, they were suppressed with just a raise of her hand, offering them no chance of resistance.

At that moment, two figures emerged from the cave entrance.

Seeing it was the Vermilion Bird Guardian God and Murong Qianxun, the group craned their necks to look down, yet saw no trace of Qin Yi.

"Senior Vireo, may I ask where Qin Yi is?" Cong Yang asked respectfully.

The Vermilion Bird remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly: "Qin Yi... has fallen."

Cong Yang and the five others froze on the spot, bodies stiff, expressions full of disbelief.

"This, how is this possible?" Yue Lan didn’t believe it; with Qin Yi’s abilities, how could he possibly die?

Murong Qianxun sighed, speaking slowly: "Below is a Magma Lake, we saw with our own eyes Qin Yi fall into the magma, leaving no remains."
