Chapter 441: Chapter 401: The Horrifying Flame Fire

"You’ve caused us so much misery. Did you really think you could get away?"

Seeing Nie Yun surrounded, the three of them closed in from three directions. The glares from their six eyes flashed, clashing like sparks in the mid-air.

No one who reached the Immortal Realm was a fool. With just a moment’s thought, they knew the Grand Array from before must have been set up by the youth in front of them. A small clan like the Yi Family simply wasn’t qualified to possess such a powerful Array.

"I don’t care what your background is. For what you’ve done to me, you must die!"

Elder Yuan Heng’s hatred surged as he clenched his fist.

’The youth before me has such strength at his age, and his methods are endless. He must be a disciple from some major power.’ Killing someone like that would surely cause trouble down the line, but Elder Yuan Heng couldn’t care about that anymore. Being forced into this corner had long since robbed him of his sanity.

"Then let’s see what you’ve got!"

Knowing he couldn’t escape, Nie Yun stopped trying to flee. He took a deep breath, bent his knees, and kicked off the ground, pouncing toward Elder Yuan Heng like a hunting leopard.

"Well, now! You’re just asking to die!"

Elder Yuan Heng had been worried the youth had some other trick to save his own skin and escape. Seeing him charge over directly, his eyes lit up. He unfurled his egg-shaped Domain, planning to trap Nie Yun inside.

’I only managed to break through to the Domain Realm by relying on Elixirs. My Domain’s range is small, but its power is just as real. Once he steps inside, he’ll be in my territory. I can deal with him however I please!’

’No matter how many tricks he has, they’ll be useless. Even with a space-reversing treasure like a Heaven-Transferring Talisman, he won’t be able to teleport inside my Domain!’

SWOOSH!

Seeing his opponent’s Domain unfurl like an open invitation into a trap, Nie Yun didn’t panic. On the contrary, a cold sneer flashed in his eyes as he suddenly slapped his left palm sideways through the air.

BANG!

A huge sonic boom erupted. Nie Yun scraped past the edge of the Domain, missing it by mere inches. Simultaneously, he flipped his right hand, and the Profound Jade Sword materialized in his palm. With a flick of the blade, he abruptly slashed at Jiang Feng, who was standing beside Elder Yuan Heng!

’Elder Yuan Heng is too powerful. Even after being burned by Molten Rock and exhausting a huge portion of his strength to open the Stone Gate, he’s still not someone I can fight at my current Ultimate Venerable Level!’ That was why Nie Yun’s target had been Jiang Feng from the start. His mad dash toward Elder Yuan Heng was merely a feint to draw their attention.

"You..."

Jiang Feng had been standing aside, ready to enjoy the show. He never expected the youth to suddenly change his trajectory and lunge at him. His face went white with fright, and he scrambled backward.

But he was an Immortal Realm powerhouse, after all. His panic lasted only an instant. After retreating two steps, he composed himself. A frosty look spread across his face as he kicked off the ground and thrust both fists toward the charging Nie Yun.

’We’re evenly matched. If you think you can kill me, you’d better be prepared to die yourself!’

As his fists shot out, Jiang Feng sneered inwardly.

’I just fought this kid a couple of days ago; our strengths are about the same. As long as I block his attack, Elder Yuan Heng will have time to react. One light blow from him and this kid will be half-dead, if not completely finished!’

Realizing this, Jiang Feng calmed down. Power surged from his Qi Sea throughout his entire body. He crouched low, his fists launching out to meet the Profound Jade Sword in an instant.

BANG!

As fist and sword collided, the familiar, immense power from their last fight washed over him once more. Jiang Feng seemed prepared for this force. He twisted his arm sharply, muscles tensing to deflect it, but suddenly felt a searing power spread rapidly from the point of impact.

"What?"

The moment the wave of heat touched him, he knew something was wrong. It felt as if his very soul was being roasted over Hell Fire.

"Aaaargh..."

A shrill, agonized scream tore from his throat. Elder Yuan Heng’s and Elder Taiyuan’s pupils shrank as they watched a tongue of flame slowly burn its way up from his fist.

The flame did not burn quickly; on the contrary, it looked almost leisurely. But nothing could stop it. Whether it was Mana or Soul Power, the moment it made contact, it would sizzle and vanish. The flame consumed Jiang Feng’s arm as easily as if it were burning straw or cotton.

"Flame Fire! It’s Flame Fire! This kid is a Flame Master!"

They had been following them earlier and had assumed Nie Yun’s group made it down here by relying on Yi Qing’s talent as a Flame Master. They never imagined that this youth also possessed such a terrifying and dreaded talent!

’Let’s see you survive this!’

Seeing his opponent being consumed by the Flame Fire and descending into a crazed frenzy, Nie Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

’The Flame Master is a Super Talent, ranked 25th among all special talents. Its flames are incomparably hot. From a distance, it might be manageable, but I’m right in front of Jiang Feng, and I’ve driven it into his body using Dark Force. If he could still evade this, it wouldn’t deserve to be called a Super Talent!’

"Elder Yuan Heng, save me, save me..."

Watching the fire burn toward him, incinerating even Mana and Soul Power on contact, Jiang Feng finally felt true fear. He looked toward Elder Yuan Heng, his eyes pleading.

"Once you’re being burned by Flame Fire, you’re beyond saving. Just accept your death..."

Hearing the cry, Elder Yuan Heng paid it no mind. Instead, he took a step back and turned his gaze back to Nie Yun.

Although everyone knew of special talents, few truly understood them. Seeing Jiang Feng’s state, even he, a Domain Realm powerhouse, felt a chill run down his spine, a coldness seeping from the depths of his soul.

’Flame Masters are too powerful... so powerful that even I must be wary of them!’

"If you won’t save me, I’ll take you with me!"

Seeing both Elder Yuan Heng and Elder Taiyuan retreat, a vicious light flashed in Jiang Feng’s eyes. Their alliance had never been solid, and now that they were leaving him to die, his hatred for Nie Yun actually lessened, redirecting itself toward them.

Many people are like that; when they are harmed, they don’t hate their assailant, but rather the companions who failed to help them.

With a stomp of his feet and a guttural roar, Jiang Feng lunged at Elder Yuan Heng, clearly intending to use the Flame Fire on his own body to burn the elder alive.

’Flame Fire can burn even Soul Power and Mana. It can surely burn through a Domain as well!’

"Hmph!"

How could Elder Yuan Heng not know what he was planning? His expression hardened. With a flip of his hand, a longsword appeared and thrust straight forward.

SQUELCH!

The great momentum of the longsword carried it through Jiang Feng, brutally pinning him to a nearby stone wall.

"Aaargh..." His agonized cries gradually subsided as he slowly stopped breathing.

"That was a close call. If that flame had touched me, I would have been in serious trouble. Kid, you’ve certainly earned my respect. However, no matter what, today is the day you die... Huh? Where did he go?"

Watching Jiang Feng being burned alive while screaming in agony, both Elder Yuan Heng and Elder Taiyuan felt a chill run through them. Snorting coldly, they turned to look... only to find that the youth who had been trapped between them a moment ago had...

Vanished without a trace! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
