Chapter 686: Fire Lotus Flower
It was clear that there were some powerful beasts that were fighting in that direction and if they were smart, they should have avoided it.
But when it came to Xiao Ming, she lived for this kind of danger.
She didn't wait for anyone to say anything as she started walking in that direction.
The others looked at each other with bitter smiles before slowly following behind her.
They knew that even if it was dangerous, this was an opportunity for them since there had to be a reason why those powerful beasts had gathered like this. They wouldn't be fighting for no reason, there had to be something drawing them together.
After getting closer, they could feel the intense shockwaves that came at them.
These were shockwaves that came from powerful attacks clashing with one another, making it clear that the fight was still going on.
From time to time, they could also hear powerful roars coming from in front of them.
When they finally came out of the forest and into the clearing where the fight was happening, they couldn't help being surprised by what they saw.
This clearing that they had stepped into, it wasn't a normal clearing. This was a clearing that had been formed after all of the trees in the surrounding area had been knocked down by the powerful shockwaves that came from the clash of these two beasts.
Standing in the center of the clearing were two large beasts.
It was a tiger and a lion, the kings of the forest and the savanna that were standing there facing each other.
The lion had a mane that was made of flames while the tiger had metal all over its body.
"Sun Lion and Steel Lion, what are these two things doing here?"
The one that said this was a member of the Demon Palm Sect.
Everyone immediately turned to look at this person and he told them what he knew.
"The Sun Lion is a rare spirit beast that is said to have absorbed the Yang Flames of the sun, giving it this iconic head of flames. The Steel Tiger is a rare spirit beast said to have been forged in the depths of the earth before emerging to rule the land."
Everyone looked at this person with strange looks as they heard this.
Seeing the way that they looked at him, that person from the Demon Palm Sect revealed an awkward look before giving an actual useful description.
The Sun Lion was a fire attributed spirit beast that controlled Yang Flames.
The Steel Tiger was a metal attributed spirit beast that controlled different kinds of ores that it found and ate.
In short, both of them were rare and powerful spirit beasts.
But this person from the Demon Palm Sect still didn't understand why they would all be here.
That was until Xiao Ming said, "Look over there, it seems like they are fighting over that thing."
They looked in the direction that she pointed in and saw a small flower growing there.
It was a small red flower that looked like a lotus, but it seemed like it was surrounded in flames. Though it was surrounded by flames, those flames didn't seem to burn that flower at all.
It was almost as if the flower was the one creating those flames in the first place.
"Fire Lotus Flower!"
The same person from the Demon Palm Sect said this.
Everyone once again looked at him before he started explaining, "This is a flower that has bathed in flames for…"
Mo Sha hit him on the head before glaring at him.
He revealed an awkward look before changing what he said, "It's a flower that's filled with fire elemental energy. Anyone that absorbs it will be able to use fire elemental energy in the future. But if someone with fire elemental energy absorbs it, it's said that it can allow them to awaken one of the special flames."
After a moment of silence, he couldn't help adding, "It's normal for the Sun Lion to want this thing, but why is the Steel Tiger fighting for it as well?"
This was indeed strange since this was a fire attributed herb, but they didn't have time to think that much about it.
The Sun Lion and Steel Tiger didn't hold back at all as they attacked each other. They kept throwing powerful attacks that just seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, as if they no longer cared about the Fire Lotus Flower.
It was as if they only cared about destroying each other.
This was bad since the aftermath of their attacks were getting closer and closer to the Fire Lotus Flower.
Xiao Ming looked like she was about to rush out to take both of these spirit beasts on, but Huang Xie and Yu Huang were faster.
They knew what kind of personality she had, so both of them grabbed her shoulders before she could run out.
Xiao Ming looked at them with an unhappy look, but they didn't back down this time.
Eventually, Xiao Ming sat down with the same unhappy look on her face as she said, "Then what do you want to do about this?"
Mo Sha said with a smile, "While we do need to take these two spirit beasts down, it's best if we draw them away from this place first. Otherwise, it'll hurt the Fire Lotus Flower."
The others all nodded in agreement to this, but Xiao Ming said, "But how do you plan on doing this?"
Mo Sha didn't answer this as he turned to look at Huang Xie.
Huang Xie couldn't help feeling strange when Mo Sha looked at him, but he didn't back down and looked back into his eyes.
To his surprise, Mo Sha was the one that turned away as he said, "If you keep looking at me that intensely, my heart can't take it."
Huang Xie immediately felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this.
Yu Huang took advantage of his moment of discomfort to tease him by poking him with his elbow and looking at him with a smile.
Huang Xie glared at Yu Huang, but Yu Huang didn't care at all.
Mo Sha gave a cough to bring their attention back before saying, "You two should be able to draw one of them away. With your special physique, they shouldn't be able to hurt you, so it'll be easy for you to draw them away."
Huang Xie gave a nod of agreement to this.
Mo Sha then turned back to Xiao Ming to say, "Once it's been drawn away, you can fight to your heart's desire."
Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, but she quickly settled again as she said, "But what about the other one?"
It sounded like she wanted to fight the other spirit beast as well.
Mo Sha said with a smile, "If we leave everything to you, then it would put us as your allies in a hard position. We should at least pull our weight and take care of one of them."
But after a pause, he added, "However, there's a problem with that since we don't have anyone that can lure the spirit beast away. We're mainly focused on attack, so there aren't many of us with strong defenses like him."
Mo Sha turned to look at Huang Xie again which just made him shiver once more.
Tie Yong stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."
Mo Sha raised a brow as he turned to look at Tie Yong, but he didn't agree right away. Instead, he said, "I admire your straightforwardness and your willingness to do this, but…"
Mo Sha raised one of his hands before saying, "I hope you don't mind."
Tie Yong gave a nod before raising his hands, as if he was defending himself.
Mo Sha gave a nod of admiration before suddenly pushing his hand forward to release a palm attack. There was a dark energy that gathered around his palm as he pushed out and there was a palm formed of dark energy that came out at Tie Yong.
This put a strong pressure on all that was in front of it, so the others knew just how strong this attack was.
However, Tie Yong didn't show any signs of fear as he faced this dark energy palm head on. He just took a deep breath before punching out with his raised fist.
When his fist made contact with the dark energy palm, it shattered instantly to everyone's surprise.
Even Mo Sha couldn't help revealing a surprised look when he saw this.
Tie Yong just looked right at Mo Sha and asked, "Is that enough?"
Mo Sha looked into Tie Yong's eyes for a bit before revealing a smile and saying, "Not bad, not bad. It seems like your Love Sect really is filled with talented people."
His tone changed as he said, "Alright, you can lead the other one away for me. I'll take care of it once it's far enough away from this place."
Tie Yong gave a simple nod in response.
Mo Sha still looked at Tie Yong as he said, "We'll also leave a small group to guard the Fire Lotus Flower so that no one else tries to take it while we're gone."
Everyone nodded in agreement to this.
Mo Sha then said, "It seems like your Love Sect really is filled with good men. You have such an intense stare, it sends shivers down my spine."
Tie Yong in all of his stoicness couldn't take this either.
He looked away as a chill ran down his spine.
