Chapter 1009: Rescue
Elder Qiu was quite startled by this turn of events, but she was immediately able to identify Han Li as a human, and a look of burning hatred appeared in her eyes as she sprang forward to attack Han Li.
"Stay put if you want these two to live!" Han Li warned as he casually swept a sleeve through the air, and a burst of azure light flew out of his hand to ward off the ferocious blue flames.
The blue flames immediately began to rear up like an infuriated wild beast, crashing against the azure light with all its might, but to no avail.
Elder Qiu stopped in her tracks upon seeing this, but she was still glowering intently at Han Li, and her hand remained raised aloft, ready to strike at any moment.
Han Li paid no heed to her as he swept his sleeve through the air once again, releasing another burst of azure light that fused with the first one to rapidly force back the blue flames.
The blue flames had been far too powerful for Ye Susu and her mother to resist, yet Han Li was able to easily suppress it back down to the woman's calf.
He swept his sleeve through the air a third time, releasing a ball of silver flames that transformed into a silver fire raven, which plunged headfirst into the blue flames.
A cry of elation rang out as a burst of scorching heat erupted out of the silver flames, instantly melting away all of the blue ice in the stone chamber.
A surprised look appeared in Elder Qiu's eyes upon seeing this, but she still didn't let down her guard.
Shortly thereafter, the silver fire raven re-emerged, clutching a fist-sized ball of blue fire in its beak, which it promptly devoured before letting loose an elated cry, as if it had just enjoyed a delicious meal.
After that, the silver fire raven flew back up Han Li's sleeve.
