Chapter 112 (2/2)

Extraordinarily hot firework-like explosions appeared.

More than half of one wall of blue flame had been destroyed. As the flame wall started fusing to fix itself, everybody charged out successfully without any injuries.

“Very good, exceptionally good. Unexpectedly, you are very well versed in flame molding.” Huo Xiyu’s voice was filled with satisfaction. If he had known this was the first time Claire had tried something like this, perhaps he would have been even more exuberant.

The surrounding dirt gave off a hard to describe scorching smell. The environment had already become a bare patch of land.

In the distance, you could hear sounds approaching quickly. It was the sounds of people attracted by the strange scene in the sky.

But Huo Xiyu only tilted his head cockily. With a snap and of his fingers, a small blue flame ball appeared from the tip of his finger. The blue flame whistled as it rapidly soared through the air. Before Claire’s party could react, the blue flame ball gradually expanded, accompanied by cries of alarm. Then the blue flame ball landed on the ground and exploded. There were no more cries of alarm because where the group of people had been was now a large, deep crevice, so deep and dark you could not see any corpses!

“You! How evil!” Li Yuewen cried out hatefully. “Those people were unrelated to you, but you killed them all!”

Huo Xiyu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain. They were just a group of ants after all. Even though the Hidden Sect had a rule of not killing innocents, everybody here was going to die anyways, who could prove that he broke the rules? After that little girl becomes his disciple, she would learn that power dictated the world from this experience.

Claire knit her brows tightly. His power was unfathomable. Today, would they be the ones to die?

Whoosh…

Claire extended her golden pair of wings and flew up quickly. She aimed a flame sword directly at Huo Xiyu.

“What? You think you can beat me?” Huo Xiyu started smiling, amused at Claire’s actions.

Claire didn’t say anything, only dashing forward with the sword.

“Really now,” Huo Xiyu sighed a little helplessly and then snapped his fingers. A transparent barrier locked Claire within. Claire attacked the barrier with her sword, but could only hear clear, crisps clanks. The barrier was not harmed in the slightest.

“I’ll first take care of these people then take you to the Hidden Sect.” Huo Xiyu flew up steadily, passing by Claire, eyes filled with killing intent.

“Claire, what’s going on? There was even an explosion.” At this moment, Ben, who was already in his original form, appeared, flying over. He had burns of various sizes, looking very pitiful. He was hugging a few people: Summer, Qiao Chuxin, Walter, and Feng Donghou.

Walter made a big fuss. “What’s happening? I almost got killed. If it weren’t for Ben transforming back at the right time to protect us, we would have ended up like those other people who have turned to ashes.”

“You guys shouldn’t have come!” Li Yuewen said anxiously through gritted teeth.

Huo Xiyu raised a brow seeing the giant black dragon. Who would have thought he would see a dragon here? But it didn’t matter.

“Huh?” Walter didn’t understand. Before he could even ask, a boiling hot aura surged over, a fatal attack nearing once more.

“What the – !” Walter called out in alarm, immediately about to make a countermeasure. But chanting a spell required time. The blue flame could be seen reflected in his eyes, it was so close.

Whoosh…

A strange magic beast suddenly appeared, swallowing the blue flame with one gulp.

Everybody was shocked and looked towards Dong Fenghou, dumbstruck, understanding it was a strange beast summoned by him. The magic beast that had swallowed Huo Xiyu’s flame attack was currently chewing.

A strange beast that could eat fire? They all looked towards the strange beasts, eyes filled with glee. If it were like this, then their chance of winning had greatly increased.

But Huo Xiyu did not display any shock at all. Instead, he was smiling faintly, disdainful.

Then under everybody’s astonished gazes, the strange beast started groaning and then disappeared.

“What happened?” Walter asked.

“Indigestion. Went back.” Dong Fenghou was also stupefied. Evidently, he had never seen such a situation before.

“How could my fire be eaten by such a lowly beast?” Huo Xiyu sneered, about to attack once more.

“Bastard, stop!” Claire shouted, brandishing her sword and attacking the barrier, but the barrier still would not budge.

Huo Xiyu smiled coldly, his gaze venomous. His killing intent rose.

Huo Xiyu started rotating in a circle, his hands waving strangely. He called out, “Whirling fire dance!”

TL: man, that must be cancer to the eyes, what even

In that instant, blue flame appeared revolving around him as he rotated. Gradually, a whirlwind took shape. The flame had turned into a whirlwind inferno! Then, with Huo Xiyu at its core, it started growing bigger and bigger.

“Everybody, be careful.” Leng Lingyun’s expression turned heavy. He stepped back, rapidly erecting a shield with his hand, making several layers overlap one at a time. Li Yuewen, Li Mingyu and Jean stepped back too while Ben’s group stayed at the side. Ben had already turned back to his human form. His entire body was covered with burn wounds, cutting a sorry figure.
