Chapter 427 – The Battle Inside the Canyon (1/2)
Chen Xiang found it funny that Gongsun Jie didn’t escape the array the very first moment he got out.
Having noticed Chen Xiang’s expression, Gongsun Jie flew back and madly bombarding the ground in response, rupturing the ground and ruining the array thereafter. Evidently, he also had some knowledge of arrays.
“Chen Xiang, did you just trapped in the array? What are you up to?” shouted Gongsun Jie from afar. Although he had quite an imposing bearing, he dared not approach Chen Xiang.
In response, Chen Xiang burst into laughter as he said, “What could I be up to? I started the array because I saw a boar-man coming, who knew Brother Gongsun’s camouflaging ability would be so strong that I found Brother Gongsun only after having killed that boar-man.”
Gongsun Jie was stupefied for a moment. Chen Xiang had killed the boar-man in the short moment he was inside the dreamland. This kind of strength astounded him. Nonetheless, he wasn’t afraid.
“Chen Xiang, you stole my prey, you better hand it over obediently, or else…”
Chen Xiang coldly laughed as he walked over. “Or else, what? You will kill me?”
“That’s not the way of doing things. I saw that boar-man first; furthermore, I also lead him here. In the first place, that thing belonged to me. Since you are not willing to hand over that demon heart, I can only snatch it back,” stated Gongsun Jie coldly as he took out a long spear covered in yellow flames.
As Gongsun Jie pointed the long spear at Chen Xiang, scorching flames gushed out from it. The heat emanating from it dried the leaves on the nearby trees as they fell on the ground.
Feeling this intense heat, Chen Xiang was greatly astounded immediately. He didn’t expect Gongsun Jie to actually be in possession of a fire spirit. After all, only someone who was in possession of fire spirit could employ yellow flames.
Gongsun Jie smiled in disdain upon noticing Chen Xiang’s countenance. “Your flames are nothing in my eyes. Even some old men who had been using flames for their entire lifetime would willingly throw in the towel facing my flames.”
He knew Chen Xiang was a fire expert. He was feeling all proud at this moment as he believed Chen Xiang was afraid of his flames.
A yellow fire spirit was ranked third from the bottom in the ranking of fire spirits. In contrast, Chen Xiang’s Heavenly Sun Fire Spirit was ranked at the top, it was king among the fire spirit. However, Chen Xiang had controlled the Heavenly Sun Fire Spirit very well, so as to prevent its mighty aura from bursting out.
Elder Dan had once repeatedly exhorted him and Wu Qianqian that they could not reveal the matter of fire spirit to the others, otherwise, they would be targeted by the forces of “Fire God Temple”.
Liu Menger and Hua Xiangyue were also well aware of this. Whereas Liu Menger was only able to successfully fuse with the fire spirit because Chen Xiang had helped her. As for Hua Xiangyue, Chen Xiang had a suspicion that she too was in possession of a fire spirit.
Seeing Chen Xiang remaining silent, Gongsun Jie said, ridiculing, “You are afraid of this flame! Let me tell you, my flames can be so strong because I have obtained a fire spirit. You are an alchemist, so you should know of fire spirits, right!? That is akin to an extreme treasure for alchemists.”
Certainly, Gongsun Jie also knew that the fire spirits must be kept secret. However, he believed that Chen Xiang was a dead person, therefore, he wasn’t afraid of anything. Chen Xiang, on the other hand, sneered in his heart, “With just a yellow fire spirit, you still dare to quibble before my Heavenly Sun Fire. You just wait and watch, how I wrap you up for good.”
“So what? The competition isn’t about whose flames are better!” Chen Xiang slightly smiled as a pure and rich water-attributed True Qi spread from his body, only to see a fair number of water vines that were as thick as a thigh suddenly appeared underneath Gongsun Jie’s feet.
