Balls of it brushed past her shoulders. Even though Lin Xiao avoided it, the high temperature still caused her to sweat profusely. A large portion of her skin was burned.

He did not use the Netherworld Flame to possess his body, but his physical body alone was unable to block the terrifying Netherworld Flame.

"Brother Lin Xiao, it's about time. I can smell the fragrance of the meat, you're about to be cooked." Long Xuan said half jokingly and half seriously. Her hands gradually slowed down as the attacks of the Nine Hell Flame Formation also slowed down.

"Xuanxuan!" Lin Xiao panted heavily as she wiped the sweat off her face and shouted, "Don't stop, continue!"

It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel sorry for Lin Xiao, but if this were to continue, Lin Xiao would definitely be seriously injured. At that time, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of feeling sorry for Lin Xiao, it might even affect the battle for the top 100 rankings in the Sky Demon Region.

"Continue."

It was unknown when Xiao Qi appeared behind Long Xuan as she signalled for Long Xuan to continue controlling the formation to attack Lin Xiao.

The array formation activated once more, and in an instant, Lin Xiao was once again surrounded by danger. He could only concentrate on the attacks coming from all directions.

"Sister Xiao Qi, Brother Lin Xiao will be in danger." Long Xuan couldn't bear to see Lin Xiao whose shirt had already been burnt and whose skin had even been scalded. His skin had already become charred black.

Xiao Qi was silent, as if she didn't hear anything. She stared intently at Lin Xiao, who was starting to lose control due to overexertion.

Sweat had already blurred his eyes. He didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his face.

At this time, Lin Xiao was completely relying on his consciousness and body's instinctual reactions to dodge.

"Soon, maybe."

Xiao Qi's eyes narrowed. Her palms were also wet. As long as she made a move, the array formation would stop and Lin Xiao's words would have the same effect.

But Lin Xiao didn't say anything. Maybe he wanted to try it out, or maybe Xiao Qi also wanted to try it out.

Within the array formation, time slowly flowed by. Lin Xiao's head felt as though it would collapse at any moment, but he relied on his blurry consciousness to hold on.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt a very strange feeling. That feeling was fleeting. He wanted to grab hold of this feeling, but was unable to do so. He could only helplessly watch it fade away.

It was like a school of fish swimming in the sea. There were tens of thousands of them, but only one was something Lin Xiao wanted to catch.

"No, no." Lin Xiao's eyebrows tightly knitted together. Even with all his might, he was unable to capture that feeling even for an instant. Now, that feeling had already disappeared, leaving behind only a body full of fatigue.

"Bam."

Lin Xiao's body stiffly fell to the ground like a sandbag.

Long Xuan was shocked and hastily stopped her hand to cancel the array. Xiao Qi's reaction was even faster. She had already rushed into the array formation to Lin Xiao's side. Relying on the Fire God Resisting Incantation to create a smelting shield, she blocked several of the Desolate Flame that had already reached this point.

As the Nine Hell Flame Formation disappeared, Long Xuan hurried over to Lin Xiao. At this time, Lin Xiao had already fainted. His body and even his lips were cracked and his skin was charred black. There was even a burnt smell.

"Still can't get in."

Xiao Qi sighed and shook her head regretfully.

"Sister Xiao Qi, if you told me to stop earlier, Brother Lin Xiao wouldn't have been injured. Brother Lin Xiao was the same, why are you trying to be brave?" Long Xuan's large eyes were covered in tears, and her tone was full of reproach towards the two of them.

Xiao Qi touched Long Xuan's head. Some things weren't so simple. Lin Xiao wanted to become stronger, and entering that state would allow Lin Xiao's combat strength to increase by several times. This was an opportunity for him to become stronger.

And the only way for him to become strong was to have the strength to protect himself and Long Xuan, as well as fulfill his promise to her.

"Xuanxuan, be obedient. Go and play by the side. Big sister will help heal Lin Xiao." Xiao Qi helped Lin Xiao up, preparing to take him back to her room for treatment.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was about to push her away again, Long Xuan followed behind the two angrily without saying a word. She didn't leave either and just followed quietly.

Returning to Lin Xiao's room, Xiao Qi helped Lin Xiao lie down on the bed. Seeing Long Xuan poking out the door with her small head, she felt extremely helpless. However, as long as she didn't disturb Lin Xiao's recovery, she could do as she pleased.

Xiao Qi pressed both her hands against Lin Xiao's bare chest, sensing his heartbeat, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The Mysterious Flames of Desolation within his body were scurrying all over the place. It was very restless, causing his skin to become incredibly red and unable to wake up. He had been poisoned by fire poison.

Without the possession of the Netherworld Flame, Lin Xiao was just a mortal body. If he stayed in the Nine Hell Flame Formation for too long, he would overdraw in the fire poison that filled the air, causing the fire poison to enter his body and cause him to faint.

Xiao Qi did not panic. She channeled her demon essence into Lin Xiao's body and used the Fire God Manipulation Art to help Lin Xiao control the Netherworld Flame. Using poison to counter poison, she forced the fire poison out.

The fire poison of the Nine Serenities Flame Formation was originally created by the Netherworld Flame. Now that it had come into contact with the main attack, it could only retreat step by step.

When the fire poison in her body was forced into Lin Xiao's chest by Xiao Qi, Lin Xiao's skin finally returned to its original color. However, her chest was a mass of red, like red-hot iron.

"Rise!"

Xiao Qi's strength appeared on the surface of her chest, carried by the Fatebound Flames of Desolation.

The fire poison was forced together to form an irregular body of energy. On the other side, the Silent Flame was in the shape of a little girl.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi looked a little amused as she turned her head to glance at Long Xuan, who was staring fixedly at the flame.

"How interesting, is this Lin Xiao's origin of fire?" Xiao Qi whispered as she forced the fire venom out of her body, then she filled it up with a container.

The Netherworld Flame returned to Lin Xiao's body on its own. Xiao Qi didn't pay any attention to it; the fire poison had already been eliminated and the Netherworld Flame would begin to take care of Lin Xiao's body in an orderly manner.

Right now, she was very interested in the fire poison from the Netherworld Flame. Perhaps she would be able to discover something shocking.

Outside the door, Long Xuan saw that Xiao Qi had done all that she wanted to do and waved at her, before hurriedly entering the room.

"Lin Xiao is fine. Look at him, I have something to do." Long Xuan hastily nodded her head and put her hand on Lin Xiao's as if she was a little adult, urging Xiao Qi to hurry up.

Xiao Qi could be said to have been kicked out of the room.

Long Xuan returned to the bedside and sat on the edge of the bed to watch Lin Xiao's charred skin rapidly recover.

Her mind was still thinking about that scene from a moment ago. Lin Xiao's fire source wasn't a sword or a shield, but it was her.

"Hmph, it must have been a prank idea." Long Xuan's mouth was groaning, but she was actually quite happy in her heart. She couldn't conceal the smile on the corner of her mouth no matter how hard she tried.

"Brother Lin Xiao wouldn't like me, right? "Oh, but I'm still young ah, how about I become big brother Lin Xiao's child bride. When I grow up I'll marry big brother Lin Xiao, hehe." Long Xuan covered her red cheeks as she let her imagination run wild. Her large eyes blinked as she looked at Lin Xiao's not very handsome face.
