Even the Turtle Shell Pattern brought by the cultivation of Profound and True Martial Arts had activated autonomously, trying to protect him from the flames.
But it seemed completely powerless to resist.
In the blink of an eye, the flames had already spread all over Xuanwu’s body, penetrating his flesh and burning every inch of him.
Thump!
A foot in slippers suddenly stepped on the back of Xuanwu’s head.
Pressing his skull bit by bit into the ground.
Cracks appeared one after another, spreading in all directions.
“You must really want to kill me right now,”
The voice came from above his head.
Even though his head was filled with excruciating pain, and as much as Xuanwu wanted to kill Vermilion Bird for humiliating him, he didn’t dare.
“Senior, I…dare…not!”
In a corner where Vermilion Bird couldn’t see,
Xuanwu’s face was twisted with rage like a vengeful demon, his eyes filled with infinite hatred and humiliation.
He gritted his teeth, squeezing out each word through the gaps in his teeth.
Upon hearing this,
Vermilion Bird laughed.
“It’s alright.”
“I don’t mind.”
He shrugged his shoulders, not unstepping from Xuanwu’s head.
“However, the fact that you’re willing to go this far just for me to help you is quite admirable.” “How about this.”
As he said this,
Xuanwu suddenly felt the pressure on his head lighten.
“One hour. ”
Vermilion Bird yawned and walked towards his seat.
Behind him, the flames on Xuanwu’s body did not subside but instead grew stronger.
“In one hour, if you’re not dead,”
Vermilion Bird sat back down in his chair, excitedly picking up his phone and switching it to camera mode, aiming it at Xuanwu kneeling on the ground.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
“One chance…to pledge your loyalty to me.”
Oddly enough, although the room was filled with high temperatures, the area around Vermilion Bird remained at a normal temperature. This allowed his phone to avoid spontaneous combustion and explosion.
“Thank you… senior.”
Xuanwu endured the intense pain and spoke with difficulty.
Due to the damage to his vocal cords, his voice sounded harsh and piercing.
“Shut up.”
Vermilion Bird said indifferently.
“You can thank me later if you survive.”
Thus, time continued to pass.
With the constant crackling and the smell of charred flesh lingering in the room.
Xuanwu’s skin gradually turned black and cracked.
The life aura in his body grew weaker and weaker.
But until it disappeared completely, Xuanwu managed not to make a single sound.
One hour passed like this, quiet and unnoticed.
At first, Vermilion Bird found it amusing, taking photos nonstop with his phone.
But after only twenty minutes, he started to get bored and somewhat regretted his decision.
An adult man playing with “BBQ” in his room
Made him extremely uncomfortable, unable to sleep.
However, as one of the Four Saints of the Holy Sect,
He needed to make sure his words carried weight in front of others.
Therefore,
Vermilion Bird could only endure the boredom, watching short videos on his phone while waiting for time to pass.
And so,
An hour later,
The flames gradually died down.
“Uh…Ah—
Vermilion Bird yawned and stretched.
He glanced at the ground.
Where Xuanwu, who was once muscular and burly,
Now lay as a mass of charred flesh, not moving at all.
He seemed dead.
But in Vermilion Bird’s perception, Xuanwu’s heart was still beating, though only very faintly.
“Not bad.’
“With one hour, you should have been burned to death.” “The fact that you’re still alive is quite unexpected.”
After saying that,
Vermilion Bird did not make any gestures.
Whoosh!
Flames erupted once more from Xuanwu’s body.
But this time,
Instead of causing damage to Xuanwu, the flames were healing him.
Hmm?
Xuanwu, whose consciousness was nearly extinguished, gradually awakened. Feeling the tingling sensation all over his body, his eyes flashed with amazement.
Crack… crack!
The flames penetrated every corner of his body, repairing all the deep-seated damage.
The charred surface of his body cracked open, revealing the newly grown tender skin beneath.
Even the injuries Xuanwu had previously sustained from losing his authority were slowly being repaired.
One minute later,
A naked Xuanwu knelt on the ground.
Looking at his renewed body, he was overwhelmed with shock.
Ever since his authority was taken away, he never felt such healthy physical condition.
He had once reached the fifth layer of Profound and True Martial Arts. Although his power had declined greatly since losing his authority, he still had a strong foundation in his body.
Previously, he had tried several times and failed to heal himself.
But now,
Vermilion Bird had restored his body completely in the blink of an eye.
Such an incredible power…far beyond Xuanwu’s imagination.
With this in mind,
Xuanwu’s hatred for the person who had taken his authority grew even stronger.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, nearly overflowing from his pupils.
If it weren’t for that bastard… even if he wasn’t as strong as Vermilion Bird, he wouldn’t be far behind.
But now, he was forced to bow and submit before Vermilion Bird just for a chance at survival.
He must regain his authority.
And then, he will tear that bastard to pieces. With this in mind,
Xuanwu didn’t hesitate for another moment.
Thud!
He once again kowtowed to Vermilion Bird with great force. As his forehead collided with the ground, a dull thud echoed. “Please, senior, help me take back my authority.”
“From now on, I, Xuanwu, will lay down my life to serve you.”
“Oh, oh, oh! ”
Vermilion Bird laughed..
