Chapter 750: Soul Tower of Trial (26)
This was a heat that was far beyond anything that he felt from the flames that the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast released before.
The flames from this heat was even so strong that it penetrated through the defenses of his physique, causing him to start sweating. Before this, the faint green light had kept out the heat of the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast, so he hadn\'t broken a sweat even with how much he was moving.
But these jet black flames…
Huang Xie knew that this wasn\'t a good situation for him, so he wanted to create as much distance as possible from the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast.
It was just that he found that the jet black flames were seeping out of the ground.
These flames were even appearing behind him, which cut off his path of escape.
It seemed like there was nowhere for Huang Xie to go…
The Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast had a wicked smile on its face, as if it was giving up everything just to take care of Huang Xie.
When Huang Xie saw this, he knew that this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast must be burning its natal spiritual energy to use this attack. It seemed like it had nothing else left to lose, so it was burning its life to release the most powerful attack that it could.
There was no doubt that this attack would be incomparable to all the attacks that this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast released before.
It seemed that Huang Xie\'s life really was in danger.
He wanted to break free of the flame cage that was trapping him, but he found that it was much harder than any other flames that he had faced before. No matter how he smashed the flame cage around him, he just couldn\'t break through it.
The flames were even so strong that they had singed the tips of his fingers, causing slight burns.
This had never happened before when he attacked the flames of the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast.
There was no doubt that these black flames were terrifying.
The Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast didn\'t seem to do anything while Huang Xie was trying to break out, it was just surrounding itself in these black flames. Though if one looked closely, they could see that those black flames seemed to be forming something.
It looked like the shape of a spear made of black flames.
One final strike with its life as the price, the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast really wasn\'t holding back at all.
It seemed like everything that they had done had caused the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast to lose itself in its rage and was focused on getting some form of revenge. The target of its revenge seemed to be Huang Xie since he was the one that had gotten in its way the most.
Huang Xie knew that it would be impossible for him to break out of this cage, so the only thing that he could do was raise his guard.
Of course, it wasn\'t as if the others were idle during this.
Huang Xie knew that the flame cage was the one thing that was keeping him in, so he used the soul fragments to have the others attack the flame cage. At the same time, those from the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect also recognized that they had to destroy the flame cage to help Huang Xie, so they also started attacking it.
It was just too bad that none of them were able to do a single thing to the flame cage.
In fact, it seemed like their attacks just went right through the flame cage.
It seemed that this flame cage only prevented things from leaving it and didn\'t stop things from entering it.
So all of their attacks easily entered the flame cage and landed on the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast without any obstruction.
It was just that the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast didn\'t feel their attacks at all.
One, its sense of pain was numbed because it was sacrificing its life.
Two, the black flames that surrounded it burned away any attacks that came at it.
Those black flames easily burnt away everything that came in its direction.
So they weren\'t able to do anything to stop it from gathering more black flames.
It seemed like the only thing that Huang Xie could do was raise his guard to block this attack.
Huang Xie had a grim look on his face, but the faint green light around him seemed to grow stronger. He recognized that this was the only thing that he could do, so he didn\'t hesitate to gather all of his power in his defenses.
Outside of the cage, there were some people that couldn\'t hide their happiness in this scenario.
After all, it was clear that this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast was burning its life to take down Huang Xie with it. That meant that once this was over, they would clear this trial.
Huang Xie was the one that they felt the most pressure from, the one that they recognized would be their greatest rival.
If he were to fall here while everyone else passed, that would be the best case scenario.
Especially for those that still had their soul fragments in his hands.
As long as he died, they were sure that they wouldn\'t have to worry about him for the rest of this trial. Then once they left, it wouldn\'t be a problem for their elders to get back their soul fragments.
He had taken the soul fragments from so many disciples of so many different sects, there was no way that a small Love Sect would be able to stop all of their sects.
So they were waiting to see him die.
But before the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast could release the black flame spear, there was someone that suddenly jumped out.
This person was covered in flames as they jumped into the black flame cage.
Their flames were able to hold back the flames long enough that they were able to make it through the cage, but there were some black flames that were lingering on them after they jumped through.
However, this person didn\'t care at all about this as they landed right in front of Huang Xie.
When Huang Xie saw this person, he was shocked as he asked, "Senior sister, what are you doing?"
The one that had jumped through the black flames was Xiao Ming and she had done it without any hesitation once she realized that there was no other way.

With a smile on her face, she said, "How could I be the senior sister if I don\'t protect my junior brother?"
With that, she revealed a serious look and faced the black flame spear that was in front of them.
Huang Xie had a bitter look on his face, but he didn\'t try to force her out since he knew that it was impossible. If he could leave this black flame cage, he would have already done so.
Now that she was in this black flame cage with him, it could be said that Xiao Ming was trapped in here with him.
So he didn\'t waste any breath trying to get her to leave.
The only thing that Huang Xie could do now was…
"Get behind me." Huang Xie stepped forward to stand in front of Xiao Ming. As he stood in front of her, he raised his hand and gathered the faint green light to form a barrier.
Even though she had been the one to charge in to stand in front of him to protect him, it turned into him trying to protect her.
Of course, Xiao Ming wouldn\'t accept just being protected like this since she had her position as the senior sister to think about.
She went forward to try and protect Huang Xie while he tried to protect her. It was almost a competition to see who would protect who with how they kept going back and forward like this.
But in the end, they decided to work together when they felt the pressure coming from the black flame spear.
They knew that if they wanted a chance to survive, it wouldn\'t be about who would protect who.
If they wanted a chance to survive, then it would be by working together with each other.
There was one person who was unhappy seeing this and wanted to charge in with them, but Mo Sha stopped him from doing that. After all, there was no knowing if they would even survive and he wasn\'t going to let Yu Huang make things worse.
However, in the end, there was no clash between the two sides.
Once the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast finished gathering the black flames for the spear, it looked at Huang Xie and Xiao Ming with a look of rage and resentment.
It was clear that it didn\'t want to let these two live, so it was gambling everything on this single blow.
With a roar, the black flame spear started moving forward.
Both Huang Xie and Xiao Ming braced themselves for the impact, but that impact never came.
That was because there was this barrier that appeared around them.
It was a lavender coloured barrier that seemed to come from Xiao Ming.
