Chapter 925: Blazing Merging Fire (II)
The red gauze let out a muffled boom, as though it had restrained a flood dragon. Whatever was within was struggling violently.
Guo Hongjian was surprised, and poured his mana into it as he asked, "Sword essence? Even sword essence is useless!"
He wasn’t like Guo Hongyao; he immediately saw that the person inside the dharma artifact was nearly out of mana. He didn’t even need to act further; just maintaining the fire for seven minutes would cause the man to fall into the sea.
"Lost in the east, gained in the west."
But Guo Hongjian had already grown greedy for this dharma artifact, so a swift and decisive victory was best. Forming a seal with his fingers, he cast his spell and Merging Fire surged. Taking advantage of the moment the man was entangled by the screen’s fire and couldn’t spare attention, Guo Hongjian rapidly gathered flames in his hand.
Though Li Xijun was in dire straits, he remained calm. His pale gray eyes betrayed no emotion. The Chongming Profound Insight Screen's glow had dimmed, and Han Lin had been sheathed and returned to his embrace.
He reached into his sleeve and took out a talisman. The sandalwood-red talisman was the size of a palm and bore the image of a lifelike, scale-covered rat with golden, gleaming eyes that were already brimming with mana.
The Blazing Merging Fire Talisman!
Li Xijun poured his remaining mana into it, mimicking the incantation word-for-word. His voice rang out clearly within the screen, "Scorching wind, heed my command. Shuttle back and forth, merge and charge with fire!"
The talisman released a puff of sandalwood-red wind that transformed mid-air into a long-scaled crimson rat. It let out a shrill cry, then reverted into sandalwood wind, lifting him from beneath and propelling him north at great speed.
