Hidden behind a large tree, Leo was also within the range of the formation.
“Do you think you can trap me with just a formation?” Seraphina’s gaze was icy, her tone cold.
After the brief skirmish, Seraphina could confirm that Enchanting Rogue’s cultivation was at the peak of the lower-stage Spirit Saint, on the verge of breaking through to mid-stage Spirit Saint.
If it were before her battle with the Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python, she wouldn’t have feared this Enchanting Rogue. But after that fight, she had consumed a lot of energy and had fallen victim to the python’s dying trick, significantly reducing her strength.
Of course, Seraphina was confident that if she used her skills to escape, even the cunning Enchanting Rogue wouldn’t be able to trap her.
“I know your abilities well enough,” Enchanting Rogue smiled lightly, his gaze towards Seraphina growing more intense. “The reason I used a formation is to avoid being disturbed by others or beasts during our good time.”
As he spoke, Enchanting Rogue reached into his Storage Sack and pulled out a tightly sealed rectangular jade box.
“Seraphina, do you know what this is?” Enchanting Rogue chuckled as he moved his right hand, shattering the jade box.
A huge, enchanting red flower floated out of the box.
The moment the red flower appeared, a strange and alluring fragrance spread through the mountain breeze.
Seeing the eerie red flower floating in mid-air, Leo’s pupils contracted sharply.
Seraphina’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, but there was no significant change in her expression as she didn’t sense anything special about the flower.
“You might not recognize this flower, so let me tell you. Remember, this flower is called the Red Demon Flower.”
“Red Demon Flower?” Seraphina was initially stunned, then recalled something. Her cold eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
Noticing Seraphina’s reaction, Enchanting Rogue smiled triumphantly. “It seems you’ve heard of this flower. To me, it’s nothing short of a sacred object.”
“It is said that once you smell the fragrance of the Red Demon Flower, your body will become unbearably hot, consumed by desire, and you won’t be able to mobilize your spiritual power.”
“To detoxify the Red Demon Flower’s poison, aside from using a Clear Spirit Pill made from its leaves, the only other way is through intimate relations between a man and a woman. If the poison isn’t neutralized within twelve hours, even a high-stage Spirit Saint will see their cultivation drop to the Spirit Master level.”
“Shameless scoundrel!” Hearing Enchanting Rogue’s words, Seraphina’s veiled face turned icy cold.
In fact, the moment Enchanting Rogue took out the Red Demon Flower, she had already sealed her breath but was still somewhat affected.
“Haha, the Red Demon Flower is extremely mysterious. Even if you seal your breath and pores, it won’t help.” Enchanting Rogue looked at Seraphina as if she were his most cherished toy.
“My spiritual power…” Soon, Seraphina felt something was wrong. Her spiritual power began to stagnate and couldn’t be freely mobilized.
Additionally, Seraphina felt her body becoming increasingly hot, as if a fire was burning inside her.
“Are you feeling like there’s a fire burning inside you and you can’t mobilize your spiritual power?” Enchanting Rogue asked smugly.
Seraphina knew that staying here would have dire consequences. She turned swiftly and flew backward, slashing at the formation’s light screen with her Skywater Blade.
However, the light screen only rippled slightly before returning to its original state.
Due to the stagnation of her spiritual power, Seraphina’s attack strength was less than thirty percent of its usual power.
Seraphina gritted her teeth and slashed several more times, but each sword strike grew weaker.
“Hehe, it’s useless. The more you use your spiritual power now, the stronger the poison will become.” Enchanting Rogue crossed his arms and watched mockingly.
Seraphina had to give up attacking the light screen. She reached into her Storage Sack and grabbed two blue sword talismans. Crushing them, two sword beams struck the light screen directly.
However, the light screen only showed two long slits that were too narrow for anyone to pass through.
“A fourth-level formation isn’t that easy to break. Even if you escape, you’ll need to find a man to neutralize the poison. Otherwise, your cultivation will drop or you’ll burn to death from desire!”
“Shameless!” Seraphina gritted her teeth as her eyes began to blur and her body grew hotter.
“Haha, keep cursing me all you want because soon you won’t be able to leave me. I’ll treat you well.” Enchanting Rogue said as he pointed at the Red Demon Flower in front of him. The flower shattered into red dust.
Enchanting Rogue waved his sleeve, and a breeze scattered the red dust throughout the formation.
Hidden behind a tree, Leo’s face also turned grim as he felt his body becoming uncontrollably hot.
As Enchanting Rogue said, sealing one’s breath couldn’t prevent the poison from entering the body.
The sensation of burning desire was indeed unbearable. Leo’s face darkened as he controlled his Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus to release extreme cold.
The extreme cold was effective; Leo’s body temperature dropped slightly, and the heat within him subsided somewhat.
On the other side, Seraphina’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her skin turned an unhealthy shade of red.
If someone touched her skin at that moment, they would find it terrifyingly hot.
“It is said that you possess an Icesoul Physique. If I can be intimate with you and leverage your special physique, I should easily break through to mid-stage Spirit Saint. Just thinking about it excites me.”
Enchanting Rogue said as he took steps closer to Seraphina.
“I’d rather self-destruct than let you succeed!” Seraphina bit her lip until it bled, regaining some clarity of mind.
Enchanting Rogue shook his head. “It’s useless. You can’t even mobilize your spiritual power now. How can you talk about self-destruction?”
From behind the distant tree, Leo’s body trembled as extreme cold and heat battled within him, causing double torment.
Leo’s body also began to shake uncontrollably and then lost control entirely.
“Seraphina, you’re destined to be mine. Resistance is futile. Just follow your body’s instincts and you’ll experience unparalleled pleasure.”
Enchanting Rogue was now less than five meters away from Seraphina.
