Chapter 1334: Escaping St. York
A key of this kind certainly could not be carried around. However, it still differed slightly from Audrey’s description, since she had only heard about it and had never seen it herself. Qi Xuansu had initially thought there would be just a single room containing the key, but he had not expected such a vast underground hall, nor that it contained more than just the key.
Since it could not be taken, Qi Xuansu said without hesitation, “Destroy it.”
This finally aligned with Madam Wu’s wishes. Without wasting time, she exhaled a bout of surging flames, which instantly engulfed the massive steel heart.
This key was somewhat special. Madam Wu’s flames had melted the steam guards and the metal wall instantly. But this key melted very slowly, like ice under the sun. It would take time.
“Oh! That’s quite sturdy,” Madam Wu exclaimed lightly, revealing her true form.
Madam Wu pointed at the Seven Feather Five Fires Fan in her right hand and ordered, “Grow!”
Under normal circumstances, the fan was no larger than a standard feather fan. In this instant, it expanded several times over. The handle became taller than Madam Wu, and the fan itself was larger than her body, like a battle banner.
Madam Wu gripped the handle with both hands and rested it on her shoulder.
Seeing this, Qi Xuansu was startled. “Madam Wu, take it easy! Don’t burn the whole place down!”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Madam Wu said confidently, raising her arms and swinging the massive fan like a banner, fanning the flames.
Madam Wu kept fanning while muttering, “This thing can be burned continuously until it can’t take it anymore.”
The melting speed of the key increased significantly, shifting from ice melting in sunlight to a furnace.
