Chapter 721: Decoy Tactic
After slipping out of the black-armored man’s line of sight, Qin Sang continued flying calmly for a while. Once he confirmed that no one was following him, his figure abruptly halted mid-air.
He turned to look in the direction of Cold Flame Island, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face.
After a moment of contemplation, he scanned his surroundings, then landed on a nearby small island. There, he set up a concealed spiritual array and went into hiding.
A bold idea had just occurred to him, but he wasn’t certain whether it was feasible.
He summoned the Yan Luo Banners of Ten Directions and drew forth the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells.
The devilish fire gathered into a single cluster. Qin Sang curled his finger slightly, and the flame obediently settled into his palm. Fixing his gaze on it, he focused on the aura it gave off and fell into deep thought.
There was no question that the current power of the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells only reached the level of a middle-grade astra. Compared to the cold flame, the difference was vast.
Even a small wisp of cold flame was far more terrifying than what the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells could presently offer.
But this was not the true appearance of the devilish flames. Its main body had long been sealed within the Yan Luo Banners, suppressed by banner poles forged from the black iron columns. What was visible now was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Neither Qin Sang nor Founder Kuiyin could control the flame directly. They could only channel it through the demonic banner.
The black iron columns were extremely mysterious, inscribed with profound barriers that even the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells feared.
As Qin Sang’s skills in artifact refinement improved rapidly, his understanding of the black iron columns also deepened. He had once entertained the thought of using them to craft other astras, but now he dared not even consider it.
