The Purple Flame Demon Saber slashed at Lu Yu's arm, barely breaking the skin, but not cutting deeply into the flesh before being stopped by the muscles. However, the purple-black flames on the saber caused Lu Yu considerable pain.

The pain was so intense that he couldn't control the muscles in his arm, and the muscles that clamped the Demon Saber lost strength. The saber sliced through the tough muscles like special rubber, stopping only when it hit bone.

The Purple Flame Demon Fire was burning Lu Yu's soul, and the pain of a burning soul is unbearable for humans.

Lu Yu had cultivated the Dou Shen Art, so his spiritual power was much stronger than that of an ordinary Martial Cultivator. His soul was also much more resilient, allowing him to withstand the agony of soul-burning without immediately losing all combat ability.

Liu Feng had never before pushed the Purple Flame Demon Fire to such extremes.

Using the demon fire to attack an opponent also causes him certain harm. In previous battles, he only applied it slowly, like a frog in warm water, gradually weakening his opponent's strength.

But this time, he felt there was no time or opportunity for such a strategy. He could only go all out, fully activating the Purple Flame Demon Fire to burn Lu Yu's soul and seize this rare chance to severely injure Lu Yu.

If the damage Lu Yu suffered was 10, then the backlash damage from the demon fire to Liu Feng was 1.

But the soul's pain wouldn't lessen at all.

Pain is pain, damage is damage, and less backlash damage only means Liu Feng can endure for a longer time. It doesn't mean that the soul's pain would reduce much.

Sweat the size of beans rolled down Lu Yu's forehead, his eyeballs filled with bloodshot lines. The physical damage from the Purple Flame Demon Fire wasn't high, but the damage to the soul was lethal.

The second level of the perfected Ice and Fire Seven-Peak Cultivation Technique operated rapidly, hoping to refine the Purple Flame Demon Fire and reduce the damage it caused.

But the flames of the second level, Celestial Falling Bright Flame, were not as powerful as the Purple Flame Demon Fire. Even though Lu Yu consumed a large amount of spiritual power, he could only refine a small bit of the demon fire that invaded his body, having no substantial effect.

The characteristic of Celestial Falling Bright Flame is high temperature, and its power is a second-grade spiritual fire, difficult to threaten the soul-burning, soul-damaging Purple Flame Demon Fire.

Blood Burning Secret Technique, activate!

The qi and blood had just recovered to the threshold of the Blood Burning Secret Technique's activation, and Lu Yu activated the technique without regard for the consequences.

Under the reverse flow of qi and blood, Lu Yu's eyes turned blood-red, and the capillaries in his eyes burst from the reversed flow. Blood began to seep from the tiny wounds all over his body.

With a surge of qi and blood, Lu Yu shook off the Purple Flame Demon Saber and rapidly retreated to put distance between them.

Although some Purple Flame Demon Fire remained on his body, as long as he didn't continue to suffer from its ongoing damage, Lu Yu could exhaust his spiritual power to extinguish the remnants of the fire.

Liu Feng saw the Demon Saber shaken off and felt a bit helpless. Lu Yu's strength was too powerful, especially after employing the Blood Burning Secret Technique, his power doubled, and Liu Feng couldn't suppress the saber.

Seeing Lu Yu still surrounded by the Purple Flame Demon Fire, Liu Feng squinted his eyes. What he needed to do now was stall for time. As time passed, Lu Yu's strength would only grow weaker, and that would be the real counterattack moment.

The Purple Flame Demon Fire on both arms severely impacted Lu Yu's ability to use his arms. His vision was blood-red as he looked at Liu Feng.

"Even without my hands, I can still kill you!"

Bang! Lu Yu stomped the ground, and his figure disappeared. Liu Feng hurriedly activated his protective spiritual armor.

But Lu Yu's target wasn't him. Under the pain of a burning soul, Lu Yu couldn't execute any intricate martial techniques, but after activating the Blood Burning Secret Technique, his strength and speed doubled.

No martial arts were needed; he could kick his opponent to pieces with a single blow.

Unable to exert strength with his arms, he simply charged in!

Lu Yu's figure burst through the violent spiritual power storm. The storm that could severely injure someone at the peak of Qi Cultivation level merely felt like slightly larger raindrops to him—it couldn't harm him.

He didn't use any spiritual power protection methods, relying solely on his robust physique to ignore the spiritual power storm capable of devastating a peak-level Qi Cultivation Martial Cultivator.

A red trail followed Lu Yu as he broke through the spiritual power storm.

Huang Laosan nervously watched the chaotic spiritual power storm. He didn't know the situation between Liu Feng and Lu Yu, but he suspected that after withstanding Cao Hong's big move, Lu Yu should be severely injured.

Liu Feng, known for defeating the strong while being weaker, should be able to defeat the injured Lu Yu.

While considering whether to risk entering the spiritual power storm to join the attack on Lu Yu, a red shadow burst through the storm, unstoppable, and collided with the surviving Qi Cultivation Martial Cultivator.

The Martial Cultivator's corpse flew like a bag of fresh blood as Lu Yu hit him, splattering against the wall and dyeing it blood red.

Huang Laosan turned stiffly to look at Lu Yu, and Cao Hong's pupils dilated in shock as he saw Lu Yu engulfed in purple-black flames. Had Liu Feng already perished?

Lu Yu braked hard, stomping his right foot on the ground, and flew towards Cao Hong. Cao Hong's spiritual power was severely depleted, so Lu Yu sought to kill him first to prevent him from regaining power and unleashing another big attack.

Though Lu Yu could use his left hand to execute the Heaven-Crushing Unlimited Heavy Fist, the current situation didn't allow for another major move.

A flying kick aimed at Cao Hong, and Lu Yu had no choice but to let both feet leave the ground.

At his current speed, no one could attack him mid-air anyway.

Splat!

Lu Yu kicked through Huang Laosan's spiritual power barrier. Huang Laosan managed to gain a brief reaction time for Cao Hong, who hurriedly turned his remaining spiritual power into protective spiritual armor.
