Chapter 217: Kill Xingyang Huo
Xin Pi had an uncertain look on his face. He gazed at Duan Yue and said coldly, “No matter where this man comes from, Yanwu is no longer simple. Previously, I heard that it was backed by Myriad Treasures Store, but they already denied it, and I don’t think they are lying. In that case, who is behind Yanwu?”
There was a cold glint in Ao Dijia’s eyes as he said, “Now that Mount Meru is about to open, there is no room for any mishaps. Why don’t we go down to capture this man and interrogate him?”
Xin Pi’s face turned serious as he said, “No, we can’t do that! Yes, Mount Meru is about to open and the other three regions are eyeing it covetously, but they have not done anything too over-the-top. If there are powers that want to push their way in, they’ll want us to be in trouble, and the bigger the better, so that they can have a chance. As long as we don’t move, no one dares to go against the Holy Realm’s iron rules blatantly.
“Hmph! Iron rules my ass!” Ao Dijia said discontentedly, “Although no one dares to do it blatantly, whenever the mountain opens, there are always disciples of those superpowers. Damnit!”
Xin Pi glanced at him and said, “How can there be absolute fairness in this world? It is already very good to maintain it on the surface. From today on, put Yanwu on the watch list. As long as they don’t create trouble, let them be. We will come back to it after Mount Meru is opened.”
The three of them stopped talking, looking down coldly and letting the matter run its own course. Meanwhile, the elders of the aristocratic families behind them looked solemn, especially Zhou Chu and Zhou Xing from the Zhou family, and Cheng He from the Cheng family. The three of them exchanged a look with deep anxiety and fear.
Down below, Duan Yue gave Xingyang Huo a look and said indifferently, “You are about to die, so why do you want to know so much?”
He pointed a finger at the sky, and his Heavenly Halberd immediately floated up into the air, crazily absorbing the surrounding Primordial Qi and exuding a shocking power. Looking coldly at Xingyang Huo, he said, “You have an amazing fire. Give it to me, and I’ll spare you an intact body.”
“What!” That startled Xingyang Huo, and he took a few steps back. He could not believe this man was eyeing his Bluelotus Earth Fire.
“I know you’re trying to buy yourself time. But, even if you recover from all your injuries, you have no chance of winning.” Duan Yue’s eyes grew cold as he pointed his finger downward and cried out, “The Heavenly Halberd, Whiteflame Ghost Kill!”
Having fully absorbed the Primordial Qi, the halberd turned its tip and shot through the air toward Xingyang Huo.
“You want my Bluelotus Earth Fire? I’m not scared of you, even though you are a two-stars Martial Emperor!” Xingyang Huo’s eyes burned with rage. He leaped and ducked the halberd as a ball of flame jumped out between his palms, compressing rapidly. Instead of retreating, he rushed up toward Duan Yue.
“Tsk, tsk, Xingyang Huo is truly a seasoned warrior. He is so calm even in the face of a two-stars Martial Emperor.” Up in the sky, a hint of an amusing smile brushed Ao Dijia’s lips as he praised, “Chief Xin, do you think he has any chance of winning?”
Xin Pi was expressionless, and he just said lightly, “There is always a chance in a crisis, but they are one major realm apart. Unless his foe is an inexperienced newbie, he is going to have a hard time!”
Duan Yue hunted sea beasts in the South Sea every day. In terms of combat experience, he was definitely above everyone except Yunxiao!
“A flying moth darts into the fire!” Duan Yue made no secret of his contempt. He put his palms together and performed an incantation gesture before pushing it out.
A blue light spread out like a lake, giving off a calming serenity, and the whole void seemed to have become the surface of a lake, splitting the sky into two halves.
Xingyang Huo was taken aback. Although Duan Yue’s move was not strong, it was an authentic water-element martial technique, Combined with his higher- cultivation base, it perfectly suppressed the former’s fire.
Yunxiao was slightly surprised that Duan Yue would use this move. His strongest martial technique was undoubtedly fire-related, but his White Scorching Flame was obviously not comparable to the Bluelotus Earth Fire. Therefore, instead of using it, he might as well use a water-element martial technique, which he was not familiar with. He clearly relied on his higher-level cultivation base to directly suppress Xingyang Huo.
Moreover, water-element martial techniques were gentle, and their lethality was not strong. He could avoid killing Xingyang Huo directly, giving him time to extract the Bluelotus Earth Fire. Yunxiao was surprised; he did not expect this foolish-looking guy to have such rich combat experience and intuition.
Up in the sky, Xin Pi frowned as he sighed and said, “This man is definitely a battle-hardened expert. Xingyang Huo has no chance of winning!”
“Even if I have to die, I will drag you to hell with me!”
The pressure from the gap between their cultivation bases kept him in check as Xingyang Huo fell into despair. A gleam of sadness flashed through his eyes as he bellowed, “If you want the Bluelotus Earth Fire, come and get it from me in my grave!”
All of a sudden, a white light burst out of his chest while rings of flames spread out and rushed into the blue lake, causing a large amount of water vapor to sizzle and boil. Meanwhil, the whole void began to sway.
Xingyang Huo laughed wildly and said, “Haha! Let the whole city die with me!”
