Chapter 311 Fire Priest
Qin Xiaochuan stared blankly at the girl in front of him. In that instant, he felt as if he had returned to more than a year ago, when he was still that insecure boy who couldn't grasp the future.
"Next week is National Day, and we have a week off. I'd like to go back home. Are you coming back?" After saying that, she looked deeply into his eyes. Although she didn't say anything more, Qin Xiaochuan could tell how much she hoped he would agree.
Qin Xiaochuan swallowed hard. Of course he wanted to agree to her request. He knew that if he did, all the misunderstandings between them could be resolved, and he might even officially become her boyfriend. However, he had already discussed it with Han Kexin and was going to the "Dark Night" base during the National Day holiday. There was no room for regret.
Qin Xiaochuan opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had something to do and couldn't go back, but suddenly his throat felt dry, as if his throat was sealed, and he couldn't utter a single word. He suddenly had a clear feeling that as soon as he spoke, he would never see the girl in front of him again.
In an instant, he forgot everything else, feeling only a sense of boundless panic.
"No, I can't, I absolutely can't lose her." He heard his own heart screaming.
The translucent flames continuously emitted red spiritual energy, which gradually invaded Qin Xiaochuan's body. Qin Xiaochuan, riding Kaiming, hovered motionless in mid-air. When the red spiritual energy invaded him, a blue armor appeared on the surface of Qin Xiaochuan's body, shielding him from the damage of the flames. However, without Qin Xiaochuan's active protection, the light of the Qilin Armor gradually faded, clearly unable to last long.
"What's wrong with Xiao Chuan? Why is he standing there motionless?" Guo Shiyi looked at Qin Xiao Chuan's strange behavior in the air with a worried expression.
"That's the Fire Priest's skill—Karmic Lotus. Once hit, it will cause the opponent's karma to manifest and launch a soul attack. If the opponent cannot completely sever this karma, they will be trapped in an endless cycle of torture, and their soul will be burned by the karmic fire, leaving permanent scars. The Fire Priest can also attack their body during the torture," Han Kexin said with a frown.
"We need to save him quickly, he looks very dangerous," Guo Shiyi said anxiously.
Han Kexin shook her head and said, "No, once he is burned by the Karmic Fire Lotus, he must sever that karma himself. If an outsider forcibly helps him break the deadlock, he will inevitably suffer the backlash of karma, leaving an unfinished knot in his heart forever and completely locking up his cultivation limit."
Han Kexin paused for a moment, then continued, "If he can sever that karma on his own, his mind will become more clear, which will greatly enhance his strength. However, the chances of this are extremely low. I have never seen it happen, but I have heard that someone succeeded a long, long time ago." After Han Kexin finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment and raised her right hand, and a small hurricane blade formed in her palm.
"Then wouldn't that mean..." Guo Shiyi wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to say it. She saw Han Kexin's actions and looked at Qin Xiaochuan in the air. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her mood becoming extremely conflicted.
Just as the two were talking, the light of Qilin Kai dimmed a little more. The fire priest saw this, drew a rune in the air with his staff, pointed at Qin Xiaochuan, and shouted: "Sin descends."
The red lotus beneath Qin Xiaochuan's feet became clearer, and at the same time, a pillar of fire shot into the sky from the lotus heart, instantly engulfing Qin Xiaochuan completely. Within the flames, there seemed to be countless dead souls, all greedily attacking Qin Xiaochuan.
"Xiao Chuan!" Guo Shiyi couldn't help but shout out as she watched. The extreme heartache brought tears to her eyes.
While Qin Xiaochuan was engulfed in karmic fire, he suddenly felt a tremor in his soul. An extremely distressing feeling instantly filled his entire soul, replacing the original sense of panic.
"What is this?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but cover his chest with his hand. He quickly realized the source of the feeling: his deep attachment to Guo Shiyi. In an instant, his eyes became incredibly clear and resolute.
"I'm sorry." Qin Xiaochuan raised his head and looked at Xia Ruoyi quietly. His tone became very calm. "Although I was very reluctant to let go, that's all in the past. The past should be left in the past. I wish us both well for the rest of our lives."
As he spoke, bluish-white flames burst forth from his body, instantly engulfing him and Xia Ruoyi in front of him. Then, he witnessed the Samadhi True Fire completely devour Xia Ruoyi.
"Samadhi True Fire - Holy Flame Baptism!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and the magnificent bluish-white flames continued to spread, soon filling half the sky and burning the entire Karmic Fire Red Lotus to ashes.
The immense spiritual power of the flames forced the Fire Priest to take two steps back. Due to the backlash from the skill, his originally rosy face turned even redder. He watched in shock and anger as Qin Xiaochuan was reborn in the Samadhi True Fire, unable to believe that someone could actually sever the karmic force of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

After the Samadhi True Fire dissipated, Qin Xiaochuan looked at the Fire Priest with utmost calmness. His calmness seemed to carry a sense of purity. Although there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body, he gave people a powerful feeling, even more powerful than before.
Meanwhile, something was happening underground. When Guo Shiyi shouted, the sound immediately attracted the attention of the nearby blood witches, and they soon discovered that there was another human there.
Especially those Imperial Guards who had suffered at Qin Xiaochuan's hands, who had nowhere to vent their anger, surrounded Guo Shiyi with righteous indignation after noticing her.
Zhuang Yi walked ahead, and he was the most furious person at this moment. The dignified commander of the royal guards had actually knelt on one knee in front of everyone for a human. It should be known that kneeling on one knee is the highest form of etiquette that the Blood Witch Clan can only perform when facing the royal family. This was not only an insult, but also a presumption. This humiliation would be forever etched in his heart, and for this, he would make all humans pay the price.
Han Kexin frowned as she looked at Zhuang Yihu. The other party had a special identity and was a confidant of the Golden Priest. Even if she was a second-generation Blood Witch, the other party probably wouldn't take her seriously.
But at this moment she had no other choice. If Zhuang Yihu really started to make a move, the situation would be out of control.
A powerful aura erupted from Han Kexin, clearly startling Zhuang Yihu. He looked at Han Kexin and saw her staring at him coldly, the meaning of her expression unmistakable.
