Chapter 1060: Chapter 1064: Unexpected Person

Impressive, truly impressive.

Even Xia Liu couldn’t imagine how lucky he would be.

It truly embodies that saying, ‘surviving a great calamity brings fortune’!

However, a new challenge has arisen.

The temperature of the lava below exceeds all previously seen.

If using Energy Control, the Spiritual Energy would be exhausted before reaching the central area of the lava.

Perhaps, only Sword Control can traverse the lava spanning several miles.

But one must be cautious; falling into the lava would either maim or kill.

With Karmic Fire protecting him, Xia Liu doesn’t have to worry excessively for the moment.

After calming his emotions, Flowing Fire Opens the Edge.

Whoosh!

After spinning for a while, the Flowing Fire Sword stabilizes in the space ahead.

Xia Liu stands on the Divine Blade, proceeding with Sword Control.

Moments later, he arrives beside the Ice Fire Fierce Lotus.

Too close in distance, Xia Liu’s body endures extreme temperatures.

If not for the Karmic Fire shielding him, he couldn’t have reached the central area.

No matter if you approach the lava, as long as you leave the passage and step onto the lava’s range.

The temperature in the space would turn terrifying.

Moreover, he cannot breathe because the air has long been incinerated by the high temperatures.

After reaching beside the Fierce Lotus.

Xia Liu uses Karmic Fire to shield his hand, reaching out to pluck it.

As soon as his hand touches the Fierce Lotus, an indescribable chill follows.

Xia Liu’s palm instantly numbs.

“Stop!”

Just when Xia Liu wants to exert all effort to pluck the Fierce Lotus, an angry voice echoes throughout the Flame Pool.

“Huh?”

Xia Liu turns his gaze and sees a young man standing in a passage.

Earlier, he discovered that there were two pathways leading here.

Xia Liu didn’t expect someone would come from the other passage.

Moreover, this youth’s cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation!

One level higher than himself…

Xia Liu is momentarily dazed.

In the mundanity of the world, to have such cultivation in youth, matching his own.

Returning to his senses, Xia Liu doesn’t heed the young man’s words.

What right does he have to make Xia Liu stop?

With force applied to his hand, Xia Liu plucks the Ice Fire Fierce Lotus and the two nearby vibrant flowers into his hands.

Without avoiding the gaze of the youth, Xia Liu directly stores them into his storage ring.

“You’re dead meat!”

Seeing Xia Liu’s actions, only then does the youth react.

He, Ye Chen, is the chief disciple of Xuantian Sect; today, robbed of Spiritual Medicine by an inexplicable fellow cultivator.

If word gets out, Xuantian Sect would be humiliated, and he, Ye Chen, would be mocked.

Xia Liu remains silent, his expression slightly altered, then quickly returns to the initial passage.

“Daoist Fellow, what do you mean by this?”

After taking a few breaths, Xia Liu slowly asks.

“What do I mean? You took what I, Ye Chen, coveted; you tell me what I mean?”

“Daoist Fellow Ye, before I arrived, I didn’t see anyone; since it’s an unowned thing between heaven and earth, it belongs to the destined.”

Xia Liu politely says.

“What do you mean unowned? I don’t know where you come from, Wild Cultivator; here’s a chance, just give me the Ice Lotus, and you can take the other two Spirit Flowers.”

“Wild Cultivator?”

Hearing this sarcastic remark, Xia Liu slightly shakes his head: “I don’t know where you hail from?”

“I am Ye Chen, chief disciple of Huaxia Realm’s Xuantian Sect! In Huaxia Realm, you without sect or affiliation, what else are you if not a Wild Cultivator?”

Ye Chen is somewhat angry; had he not seen Xia Liu possessing a storage ring or storage bag-like containers, he would have already acted.

Storage Containers are rare within the realm.

If Xia Liu was brought by a High-Rank Cultivator and he acted rashly, consequences would be difficult to predict.

“Huaxia Realm, Xuantian Sect?”

If Xia Liu’s guess is correct, Ye Chen’s sect is in Huaxia.

This accelerates his heartbeat.

However, it remains uncertain if Xuantian Sect is a cultivator sect.

If there is only Ye Chen in the sect as a cultivator.

Then Xuantian Sect is not to be worried.

If Xuantian Sect is full of cultivators, all with cultivation above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

That would indeed be terrifying.

“Which sect’s disciple are you?”

Ye Chen asks tentatively.

“Not comparable to your Xuantian Sect.”

Xia Liu humbly replies.

“Haha, if you dare not report your background, then there’s nothing left to say–leave the Ice Lotus and scram!”

The commanding aura from Ye Chen at Qi Cultivation ninth layer emanates from him.

Xia Liu instantly feels overwhelming pressure.

If not for his vast experience, Xia Liu might have been terrified.

“Can Xuantian Sect disciples arbitrarily seize others’ possessions?”

Xia Liu asks.

“Hmph! Two years ago, I discovered the Ice Lotus; then it wasn’t mature, today I came to collect it, but you snatched it–who is robbing whom?”

Ye Chen coldly snorts, the longsword hanging on his back hisses, ready to break from the sheath.

“Oh, then this Ice Lotus is mine; five years ago I discovered it too, just it wasn’t fully matured–I waited until today to enter and pluck it.”

Xia Liu mimics Ye Chen’s words.

…

Ye Chen’s face instantly streaks with dark lines.

Had he known, he wouldn’t have spoken this way, allowing Xia Liu to turn the tables against him!

“Since you want it the hard way, let me show you the terror of Xuantian Sect!”

“I don’t wish to start trouble, but if you insist on being domineering, let me witness how fearsome your Xuantian Sect truly is!”

Xia Liu doesn’t seek trouble, but that doesn’t mean he fears it.

Ye Chen has already stepped on his toes.

How can he let him succeed?

If the Ice Fire Fierce Lotus were handed over just like that.

Xia Liu would have never dreamed of improvement in this lifetime.

Because the crack on his Daoist heart isn’t something time can merely heal.

“Qingming, go!”

Without further words, Ye Chen points his Sword Finger forward, and the sword behind instantly unsheathes.

The resounding hum echoes to the eight corners, sharp Sword Intent causing the space to become oppressive.

“Hmph! So be it, then don’t blame me!”

With fury, Xia Liu throws the Flowing Fire Sword.

…

An awkward scene unfolds.

Their Spirit Swords can barely fly more than ten meters…

“Damnable suppression!”

Ye Chen grits his teeth in resentment.

If his Divine Sense could envelop the space like on flat ground over three thousand meters.

Xia Liu would definitely be overwhelmed easily!

In Loulan, a flaw is, the Power of Divine Consciousness is suppressed.

With the distance spanning several miles, Ye Chen is helpless against Xia Liu.

He certainly can use Sword Control.

But in such a setting.

Attempting to cross several miles by Sword Control would definitely be interrupted midway.

Xia Liu, at least, is a Peak Qi Cultivation eighth-layer cultivator.

If he exerted his full power, it’s likely Ye Chen would fall into the Flame Pool.

Falling within, even at the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation would still be smelted by magma.

Ye Chen cherishes his life, unwilling to ruin himself for a single Spiritual Medicine.

Moreover, Xia Liu’s cultivation is lower than his own.

If outside, he would certainly kill him without a doubt.

Just now, a mistake missed the best opportunity; Ye Chen regrets.

But regrets are futile; only wait for Xia Liu to go far before pursuing; he won’t escape!
