Chapter 727 Being Sucked into the Painting
As the fireball drew closer, everyone felt immense pressure; those with lower cultivation levels even suffered burns to their skin.
An old man dressed in black and red suddenly appeared, grabbed the struggling Yi Feng and Zhu Luan, who was not far from Zhong Ran, glared at Zhong Ran, and quickly teleported away.
Another old man came out and quickly took two geniuses away.
"boom!"
The fireball crashed down, the earth exploded, and countless flames mercilessly engulfed everything nearby.
The barrier that Mu Jinning had created emitted a soft ripple at that moment.
Everyone, including Mu Jinning and Asheng, was impacted and thrown outwards.
The group slammed heavily into the ground, feeling the scorching heat, and at that moment, they actually showed relieved smiles.
Although they were injured, at least they survived.
"Where is Junior Sister Zhong?" Jiang Chengze looked around but didn't see Zhong Ran.
Zhong Ran is a genius alchemist, array master, and talisman master. How could such a genius be a demonic cultivator, an unstable and bloodthirsty evil path?
Anyway, he was the first to not believe it.
Those people knew they couldn't kill Zhong Ran, so they tried to sow discord among them from within.
He won't be fooled.
Mu Jinning looked at the spot where Zhong Ran had been standing, but it had now turned into a sea of fire, and no one could be seen there.
But he felt that she was still inside.
It can't be that she accidentally injured herself while using her supernatural powers, can it?
Mu Jinning got up and quickly rushed into the sea of fire.
He himself also possessed flames, and they had both cultivated and emerged from the Divine Fire Vein together, so these flames could not harm him.
Zhong Ran was indeed raging through the sea of fire at this moment. The geniuses of both the demonic and evil paths were all hit, screaming in agony as they were burned to ashes.
She used the power of the Fire Source Pearl to preserve the spatial storage, divine weapons, and other valuable items on those people's bodies.
At this point, it's natural to put those things away first.
Unfortunately, those top geniuses were rescued at the last minute.
Even the powerful figures of the righteous path did not stop it.
It would be better to burn even those top geniuses together.
However, it wasn't a complete loss; several experts at the Integration Realm must have died.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw figures moving around in the sea of fire.
Those people held life-saving weapons that blocked the shockwave. They were injured, but still alive.
They were shrouded in a protective shield, either black or red, and were fleeing rapidly.
Zhong Ran only felt a black shadow flash before her eyes. Before she could use the power of the Source Pearl again, the others had already rushed out of the sea of fire.
As expected of a strong person, he is not so easy to kill.
But all the cultivators within the Refinement Realm transformed into fire beings.
Oh, no, not all of them.
She then discovered another person holding a painting in their hand, which they held close to their body in front of them, yet it didn't catch fire.
Alright, she'll take the painting.
She walked towards the man, who then saw her.
His eyes turned fiery red, and his anger intensified when he saw her.
He didn't want to go up against a genius like her, so he just watched from the shadows and didn't show himself to join the battle.
But without distinguishing right from wrong, she forced him out of the void as well.
Such a genius is a menace in his very existence; he must rid the people of this scourge.
He walked towards Zhong Ran, and his internal energy began to circulate. The surrounding flames automatically moved away from him, creating a small space in the middle.
The painting in front of him suddenly emitted a white light, like an iceberg, and shot towards Zhong Ran.
Zhong Ran channeled her inner power to block the attack, while simultaneously reaching out to snatch the painting. However, the painting suddenly emitted a powerful suction force, drawing her inside.
When Zhong Ran disappeared, the man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked down at the painting in front of him.
It was a painting of glaciers, which he obtained from a secret place more than a hundred years ago.
At the time, the painting seemed unremarkable. He spent over a hundred years studying it, only to find that when activated with demonic energy, it would emit a chilling aura.
But that's all there is.
When the fireball landed, he was locked onto by its energy and had no way to escape.
The painting instinctively came to mind, so I quickly took it out.
Unexpectedly, this painting of glaciers actually saved his life.
Even more unexpectedly, this painting actually swallowed Zhong Ran whole.
"No, Ranran." Mu Jinning came in just in time to see this scene, and was both shocked and furious.
He darted forward and punched the man who looked up at him after hearing his voice.
At the same time, he snatched the painting away and quickly retreated.
The man was punched in the face, and the painting slipped from his hand. He was shocked, but it was too late.
The sea of fire mercilessly engulfed him, but the resentment in his eyes still glared fiercely at Mu Jinning.
Mu Jinning, however, didn't look at him at all, but instead stared at the painting she had snatched.
The painting is simply a picture of a glacier.
In the painting, there seems to be a tiny figure, a little person in a white dress. Judging from her size, it should be Zhong Ran.
However, with his back to the viewer, he couldn't see her face.
But he felt that it was Zhong Ran.
"slowly."
He gently patted the painting, then cried out in surprise.
The figure in the painting seemed to hear his call and slowly turned around to look.
Their eyes met, and it was Zhong Ran.
Unfortunately, one of them has become a figure in the painting, while the other is outside of it.
"Ran Ran, how are you?"
Mu Jinning had never encountered such a situation before, and was at a loss for what to do.
He thought that if he destroyed the painting, Zhong Ran might emerge from it.
But he was also afraid that if he destroyed the painting, would Zhong Ran in the painting also be destroyed?
Zhong Ran heard Mu Jinning calling outside. She wanted to respond and rush out, but she was trapped inside the painting.
She was extremely curious: what grade of painting was this?
How could he protect someone in her sea of fire, and even swallow her up in that situation?
She could only wave to Mu Jinning outside: "I'm fine, but I can't go out for the time being."
She couldn't figure out the exact reason for it right now; she needed to investigate it further.
However, one thing has been clarified: this painting is either a scroll of divine power.
Or it could be a special, secret place.
Her being swallowed up at that time was probably just a matter of chance.
However, this place is a glacier with extremely rich ice spiritual energy, which is perfect for her cultivation.
This painting was able to withstand her divine fire, which shows that it is a divine painting.
Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it and explore the area thoroughly to find a way out.
She suddenly remembered something: could it be that Zhong Yan disappeared in the canyon of the Forest of Death for the same special reason?
Is he also trying to find a way back to the Phoenix Continent in another world?
