522 Defeat of the Sacred Flame Sec (1/2)

”I don't believe that at all!” Zhu Lanhuo bellowed and gave up on the assault against Chen Zikuang.

The difference was too great, it made it hard for one to accept it. Zhu Lanhuo turned into a ray of flaming light and appeared before Chen Wuhui in the blink of an eye.

In mid-air, a ray of brilliant light flared and a burning wave rolled down. The people around it felt as if they were burning on a volcano. Zhu Lanhuo's flame technique was incomparable.

At the same time, Chen Wuhui also unleashed a ray of white light. The two rays of light collided forcefully in mid-air.

Crash! There was a loud sound and the wind blew wildly while the earth and mountains shook. A hurricane like force swept by and a few warriors were blown away by the strength of the wind.

The two figures began an intense fight in the air. The force from the center of the fight flowed out and even warriors in the Embryonic Breathing realm could not bear it.

Mo Wen stepped on the air and strolled idly over to Chen Zikuang's side. ”What exactly is happening?” he asked.

Chen Zikuang looked at the scene with wide eyes. Even though he was a little excited, he could not understand what was happening all.

Hadn't Mo Wen told him earlier that the old master would not recover so quickly? Furthermore, what had happened regarding Li Zhuoying's death? Now that he thought about it, Chen Zikuang realized that he had been kept in the dark.

”Old Master Chen has fully recovered. Once he had done so, we set up a trap and lured Li Zhuoying into it. It's that simple.” Mo Wen shrugged.

Under normal circumstances, Old Master Chen would indeed have needed many days to recover. But that was only in normal situations. With Mo Wen's ability, there was a way to solve this problem. However, there was a small price for it. Mo Wen did not have to pay the price, but old Master Chen did.

He had only done this after seeking old master Chen's agreement.

”Good one, Mo Wen. You dare to hide such a thing from me. So, I have always been in the dark. I thought…” Chen Zikuang gritted his teeth furiously. He had been worried for so long and ended up discovering that things were not what he had thought. He was pleasantly surprised and also annoyed.

”It was a decision made last night. With Old Master Chen's injuries, it was not that easy for him to fully recover.” Mo Wen glanced at Chen Zikuang and then said lightly, ”It cost ten years of his life.”

Chen Zikuang's body shook and his expression froze. He closed his mouth tightly and did not speak for a long while. He understood what Mo Wen meant. The old master had used ten years of his life in exchange for his quick recovery.

He felt a little upset. Even though practitioners in the intermediate Golden Elixir realm could live for a long time, the old master was almost 200 years old. His lifespan was already not long. After deducting ten years of his life, he feared that the man might not be able to live for much longer. The price was too high.

But he knew that for Intentionless Sect to survive, the old master would even be willing to die. That was why the choice was not a requirement to get them out of a helpless situation.

The battle in mid-air grew even more intense.

”Impossible…!” Zhu Lanhuo kept bellowing. His face grew more and more twisted. He had no choice but to believe that the old man in front of him was indeed Chen Wuhui. And it was also Chen Wuhui at his peak. He did not have any injuries on him at all. Even though he found it hard to accept it, the truth was laid before his eyes.

Below him, a group of pale-faced Sacred Flame Sect warriors, some who had stopped fighting, stared up dazedly at the battle between the two in the sky. Everyone knew that the result of that battle would determine which sect won.

Those from Intentionless Sect grew more and more excited. After being frightened for so many days, their worried hearts could finally be at ease.

It was hard to determine the victor in the fight between Zhu Lanhuo and Chen Wuhui. Their cultivations were similar and both were leaders of their sects. They each had many cards in their hands and it was impossible to immediately determine the result of the battle.

Zhu Lanhuo shouted and used his palm to block Chen Wuhui's punch. Then, he caught the force of the rebound and backed away forcefully. He immediately appeared on the ground. Right in front of him laid Li Zhuoying's body.

Zhu Lanhuo squatted down examined the corpse. He determined that it was indeed Li Zhuoying and he was indeed dead. He took a deep breath and then flew up forcefully. However, he no longer fought with Chen Wuhui.

”I Retreat. I admit defeat this time. But Old Chen Who Won't Die, don't get too full of yourself. I, Zhu Lanhuo will make a comeback. Don't think that Intentionless Sect will have such good luck next time.”
