Chapter 243: Fire
For a moment, the blurred figure in the sea of fire above suddenly went quiet.
Within the blazing and blinding light of the flames, only the rushing sound of fire-heated air currents filled the silence with wave after wave of wind-like keening.
The Scarlet Fire Honored Elder, who had shown not the faintest ripple of feeling until now, finally began to move the pair of eyes blazing with brilliant golden fire. It seemed to be looking down and studying Li Musheng sitting on the ridgeline of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion's roof.
Li Musheng, for his part, showed no change of expression throughout. He simply continued quietly observing the changes in the aura of heaven and earth around him, studying every detail of how the other party was deploying its innate divine gifts.
But at that moment, noticing that the Scarlet Fire Honored Elder had suddenly stopped and was no longer continuing its assault, Li Musheng immediately frowned, "Why have you stopped?"
He then beckoned toward the blurred flame figure above and said, "Continue."
At those words, the sea of fire engulfing the space above the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion surged and churned in an instant. Dozens of fire waves ten feet high erupted, and then the blurred flame figure let out a sound like rolling thunder, "This one underestimated you."
Li Musheng said nothing, only waiting quietly.
As expected, the moment the Scarlet Fire Honored Elder's words faded, in the next instant, all the flames across several hundred yards of the sea of fire above suddenly condensed into flowing streams of magma-bright fire, and like a tide reversing, began pouring back.
