Chapter 53: The Saint Who Fell to His Death

  Looking at the black ash at his feet, even an old man who had experienced many life-and-death tests was sweating profusely. Something that could burn a person to ashes in under a second, with a temperature of at least over 500,000 degrees! In this world, apart from the dark purple hellfire and white gold soul fire, nothing else can achieve this, not even he, who had been in the Holy Realm for decades, could do it! Moreover, those two flames can only be cultivated by high-ranking members of the Dark Temple and Light Temple, ordinary people can't even see them!

  "What kind of people are they?" The old man sighed with relief at the narrow escape, and wondered about the origins of Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian. As a result, he didn't get any answers, but he was sure that their background wasn't something he could afford to mess with.

  For this result, the old man thought for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with a sharp light. He made a decision. For someone who had offended him and had a strong background, there were usually two options: one was to apologize and make amends before the problem escalated; the other was to cut them down ruthlessly!

  He didn't say that Xiao Liuxing had just disrespected him in front of everyone, not answering his words, making him lose face. It was just like the flame that Xiao Chun Tian had lost earlier. The old man also knew that Xiao Chun Tian must have wanted to kill him, no need for further explanation. Since the first option didn't work out, he wasn't someone who got sentimental easily, climbing to this position, who wasn't stained with blood? Two more wouldn't make a difference! "Don't blame me for being heartless after you're dead, it's because your backing is too strong!"

  After talking for so long, the actual time was very short. After seeing the people on the side turn into ashes, the old man thought it through instantly. Since he had made a decision, of course, he would put it into action! His body, which had just dodged the flames and turned to the side, hadn't even turned back yet when the old man began his attack, quickly pointing at Xiaoliu Xingxing and Xiaochun Tian.

  Suddenly, about 10 meters in front of Xiaochun Tian and Xiaoliu Xing, two small fire dragons, about 2 meters long, appeared. The two fire dragons crossed over each other, spinning rapidly towards the two of them. As soon as the two fire dragons appeared, not only did they illuminate the entire large hall of over 100 square meters, but also made everyone in the hall feel a huge wave of heat.

  Their skin was scorched with waves of pain, and they retreated one after another. "With such a high temperature, those two kids are definitely done for. Saintly stairs, if I could emit even half, no, a quarter of that power, I would be satisfied," the retreating people thought to themselves.

  Within 10 meters, at the speed of those two fire dragons, they arrived in just one second. Arriving in front of Xiao Liuxing and Xiaochuntian, the fire dragon ruthlessly crashed into them. In an instant, the two people were completely engulfed by flames, their figures completely invisible from the outside. This child is finished, everyone thought this way, except for that Saint-level old man.

  At the very next moment when the two fire dragons swallowed Little Meteor and Little Spring, the old man knew that they were fine because not a single sound was heard after being swallowed. They must have had some fireproof treasures on them.

  No time to think about what it was, the old man stretched out his hand and a staff over one meter long appeared in his hand. The handle of the staff was black, with many magical patterns engraved on it. At the top of the staff, there was a red crystal the size of an infant's fist, a 7th-tier fire-elemental magic core!

  The magic core was tightly wrapped in a material of the same texture as the staff handle, firmly fixed on the staff. As expected of a holy-level powerhouse, not to mention the price of the staff handle with intricate magical patterns, just this 7th-tier fire-elemental magic core would cost at least over 15 million gold coins! Too damn rich! Now no one cares about the life and death of Little Meteor and Little Spring, all their attention was attracted by that 7th-tier magic core.

  In the past, seeing so many people paying attention to him would have made the old man feel proud and pleased. However, now he didn't have that kind of mood at all. As soon as his magic wand came out, he immediately began to quickly mutter in a low voice. When he started muttering, there were many red particles gathering on his staff with a density visible to the naked eye, and the speed was quite fast.

  In less than a second, a scorching hot fireball the size of a basketball gathered, and after it grew to the size of a basketball, its volume didn't increase anymore, but it continued to absorb those red particles. After absorbing the red particles, the fireball quickly turned white, became brighter, and its temperature rose higher and higher! It was even hotter than the two fire dragons just now!

  Because the temperature rose too quickly, people within 20 meters of him were scalded by the rapid increase in temperature and reacted slowly, causing a sudden outcry of pain throughout the hall. Only those who stuck to the corners of the walls of the great hall were slightly better off, with the farthest being over 30 meters away from the fireball, but they also felt waves of intense heat.

  After absorbing for about 2 seconds, the old man did not continue to let the fireball absorb, but instead directly threw the high-temperature fireball at the small shooting star and little spring who were already surrounded by flames.

  It's even faster than those two fire dragons! The fireball encountered a large flame that had not yet gone out. Immediately, it burst into a 5-meter-high flame, still with a golden color! "Pa, pa, pa", the temperature of the flame was so high that it burned the air too!

  From the moment he pulled out his staff to when the fireball exploded, it was less than three seconds! Throughout this process, the old man's expression remained extremely solemn, with his ears perked up high as he listened carefully for any movements. Two seconds, just two seconds later, the old man suddenly revealed an extremely surprised expression, and then immediately sprang into action, flying rapidly into the air at a speed of no less than 20 meters per second.

  That fireball was his strongest single-target fire-type 7th-level magic, High-Density Fireball, with a maximum temperature of 1000 degrees! An 8th-level magic couldn't be cast here, and its power wasn't much greater than this one. So when he listened for two seconds and didn't hear any unusual sounds or smell anything burning, he decisively chose to escape!

  He couldn't kill the two kids, and he couldn't resist the emerald flames emitted by Little Spring, so running away became his best choice! As long as there are green hills, don't worry about not having firewood to burn! Being alive is hope, and even in that instant, he thought about how long he would stay in a certain place.

  The ground was only over 20 meters away from the roof, and with his speed, he arrived in an instant. With a wave of his hand, without even moving his mouth, several fireballs of normal color, each about the size of two fists, appeared above him. Before he approached the roof, they blasted open a circular hole the size of a water bucket on the roof, and he escaped through the hole with a "whoosh".

  Because everyone else was resisting the heat wave of the compressed fireball, they saw their holy stage elder suddenly break through the roof and fly out, so people's brains were stunned for a moment, unable to react. Just now, such a strong fireball was emitted, but the person flew out of the house, why? Why is that?

  Before they could think twice, they found the elder who had just flown out came back again. The only difference was that this time he was upside down, with his head facing downwards and feet upwards, exactly opposite to the previous situation. Moreover, his speed was even faster than when he flew out! "The elder shouldn't be in trouble, right?" they thought secretly in their hearts. "After all, he's a Saint-level expert, so he should, maybe, possibly, probably be fine."

  "Boom!", as their elder touched the ground, a loud noise came out. It was unclear whether it was an illusion or not, but everyone seemed to feel the ground shaking at that moment.

  After the loud noise, a bloody scene appeared before everyone's eyes. The old man, who had fallen to the ground headfirst, was crushed into a pulp the moment his head touched the ground. The contents of his skull splattered everywhere, and even those who had seen their fair share of the world couldn't help but vomit at the sight of the yellowish-white matter scattered all around them.

  That old man rushed over the roof at such a speed, and in less than 2 meters away from the roof, it was Xiaoliu's transparent 99 return to one formation! Fortunately, he was a holy rank, his physical quality was much stronger than ordinary people, otherwise, with his speed, people would be shocked to death, now he was just stunned.

  After the person was stunned, the problem arose. The old man's speed when he hit the boundary was originally very fast, and with the rebound speed of the boundary, his speed would definitely be even faster on the way back! Moreover, after being bounced back by the boundary, his head was thrown forward, resulting in a situation where his head was facing down and his feet were facing up. The height of 20 meters is roughly equivalent to a 7-story building.

  If it were a Holy Warrior, with their physical strength, not to mention 20 meters, even 200 meters would be no problem. However, the old man was a Holy Mage, they also exercised their body, but only to a general level of strength. A height of 20 meters, if he was still conscious, adjusting his body, with his back facing up, at most he would have suffered severe injuries. But he fainted, and that's how this result came about. A Saint Stage, a fallen Saint Stage, not to mention whether there will be anyone after him, but it is absolutely unprecedented!

  From the old man's appearance to his death, the whole process took less than 30 seconds! The ups and downs of life are nothing more than this. After experiencing those two fire dragons, that scorching fireball, and then the legendary Saint-level expert falling to his death, everyone was shocked awake, completely clear-headed! Everyone was also bewildered. A Saint-level expert died like this? Fell to his death?

  Before everyone could recover from the massive disaster, the flames that had surrounded Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian suddenly went out. The moment the fireball appeared, Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian activated their Yuan Ying energy, forming a small protective shield outside their bodies. This shield not only defended against physical attacks but also isolated energy attacks!

  Actually, with Xiao Liuxing's current physical strength, even if he didn't hold up the energy shield, the flames wouldn't have done much harm to him. As for Xiaochuntian, she was wearing that top-grade artifact that could isolate a master's attack during the Out-of-Body period, let alone this small fireball of over 1000 degrees! In modern terms, it's like: "Stir-fried greens with tofu - a small dish; Little KS".
