Chapter 603: Chapter 597: Earth Core Cold Fire

Ye Xuan took out a piece of black cloth from the Qiankun Ring and covered his face. He then raised his palm, and strands of emerald green flames began to emerge from his palm.

After the fusion of the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire and the Xuanbing Cold Flame, a completely new Spiritual Fire was born, which Ye Xuan now called Earth Core Cold Fire.

This was a brand-new type of Spiritual Fire, far more powerful than the previous two types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.

Flames enveloped Ye Xuan’s palms, and when he reached the optimal distance from Fei Lian, he suddenly made his move.

Without making a sound, Ye Xuan approached Fei Lian closely, who was currently in an excited state, hence his guard was much more relaxed than usual.

"Who?"

Fei Lian was no mediocre opponent. The moment Ye Xuan appeared, he immediately sensed something was off and threw a punch forward in a hurry.

Bang!

However, this hastily thrown punch was no match for the long-accumulated Earth Core Cold Fire in Ye Xuan’s hand. Upon contact, Fei Lian was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

"Damn it, who is it?"

Caught off-guard and attacked without warning, Fei Lian was visibly shaken, realizing the danger of his situation. He was deep in the territory of the Shadow Demon Clan, and a commotion now could lead to discovery by others, potentially making him a public enemy of the clan.

Ye Xuan didn’t respond. Speaking up would have given himself away. His palm surged with emerald flames as he threw another punch without giving Fei Lian a chance to catch his breath.

Bang!

Fei Lian managed to counter Ye Xuan’s punch with great difficulty and, retreating, spat out more blood. The encounter left him petrified; the mysterious man’s strength was terrifying. If he didn’t leave immediately, he feared he might not survive this day.

With this thought, he panicked and fled.

Ye Xuan was about to pursue, to teach the other man a lesson, when he sensed another formidable presence approaching—it was the Second Elder from the Shadow Demon Clan.

Ye Xuan was confident he could handle Fei Lian, but adding the Second Elder to the mix was a different matter. Plus, a fight could attract attention. If they claimed he was responsible for poisoning Zi Ying, he would be at a disadvantage.

Within these fleeting moments, Ye Xuan assessed all the possible outcomes.

The best course of action was to leave immediately.

Without hesitation, Ye Xuan turned and darted into Zi Ying’s room, where he scooped her from the bathtub without concern for her state of undress and quickly fled at full speed.

At this time, Fei Lian and the Second Elder crossed paths.

"What happened? Did Zi Ying wake up?"

Seeing the disheveled Fei Lian, the Second Elder paused, incredulous.

"No, some expert appeared out of nowhere. I didn’t want to cause too much of a stir here, so he forced me out." Fei Lian replied with frustration, not admitting his inability to match Ye Xuan. If it hadn’t been for the surprise attack, he believed he wouldn’t lose.

"Expert? From where?"

The Second Elder was even more puzzled. He had checked earlier, allowing Fei Lian to proceed only after being certain of no risk. Could it be someone eluded his detection?

"Quick, check inside, see if the person is still there!"

With a slightly grim expression, the Second Elder regretted the missed opportunity. There wouldn’t be another. He hurried into Zi Ying’s room, only to find it empty.

"Definitely taken by that guy."

Fei Lian punched a nearby table into splinters, taking a deep breath, furiously enraged. It was supposed to be his night of pleasure, but to have the cooked duck fly away—how could he not be furious?

"Could it be one of the other Elders, or the Clan Leader?"

The Second Elder was now full of regrets. If his own clan found out about his actions, his prestige would be in tatters, and he could no longer call himself the Second Elder.

"Probably not. That person’s attack didn’t seem like it came from the Shadow Demon Clan." Fei Lian said thoughtfully.

Relieved by these words, the Second Elder’s expression became serious, "We must keep today’s events secret, let no one know."

They still didn’t know who had rescued Zi Ying, and they couldn’t afford to be in disarray. What they needed to concern themselves with was how to handle the coming situation, which was headache enough.

...

At this time, Ye Xuan, with Zi Ying in tow, had left the village, stopping in a small grove not far away.

He had moved swiftly; Fei Lian and the Second Elder would not have noticed him, let alone follow his trail.

Setting Zi Ying down, Ye Xuan breathed out a heavy sigh.

He quickly shifted his gaze upward, landing on Zi Ying’s face, who was stunningly beautiful, on par with the most gorgeous women Ye Xuan had encountered. Especially her cherry lips, exuding a faint purple luster, were mesmerizing, causing Ye Xuan to stare for a moment.

But in an instant, Zi Ying’s long lashes fluttered, and her eyes snapped open.

Their gazes met, both momentarily stunned.

"You..."

Ye Xuan was about to speak, but after uttering only a word, he saw a fierce anger flare in Zi Ying’s eyes. Instinctively, he tilted his head to dodge her furious slap before swiftly grabbing her wrist.

"Shameless pervert!"

Zi Ying was infuriated, gnashing her teeth as though she would fight Ye Xuan to death had she not been weakened by poison.

"I’ve always been shameless; you’re just realizing now—too late."

Ye Xuan, seeing her angry expression like an enraged little tiger, felt a perverse sense of delight. She used to command him imperiously, and now it was his turn to give her a taste of her own medicine.

"I will kill you."

Zi Ying swung her fist, trying to hit Ye Xuan hard, but her punch was like a tickle to him, lacking any strength.

"We’re all adults here; no need to get so worked up."

Ignoring Zi Ying’s futile punches, Ye Xuan pulled her into his arms, closing the distance between them.

At Ye Xuan’s unreasonable move, Zi Ying trembled with rage, overcome by humiliation. She had silently vowed to kill Ye Xuan.
