Chapter 2712: Chapter 2711: Black Flame

Huo Yue looked up at the visitor, surprised, “Huo Chou?! Weren’t you imprisoned in the Magma Prison? How did you get out?”

Huo Chou laughed deeply, “How did I get out? I killed everyone guarding me and just escaped, haha, those idiots thought they could keep me locked up? In the end, they all became my underlings into the afterlife!”

“You actually dared to commit such a grave sin, once Clan Leader Huo Tian returns, they won’t spare you!”

“Come on, you mean my brother? You don’t think I’ve spent the last millennium just reflecting in the prison, do you? I’ve already joined forces with a group, they’re already on their way to intercept them from returning, and no one will get back alive!”

Huo Yue’s face changed, “What about Huo Hui? What did you do to him?”

“That ominous little brat, I was too lazy to deal with him, he actually tried to stop me, but I didn’t even hit him hard, just a casual blow, and he flew away. Who knows if he’s dead or not, if not, he’s probably crippled.”

Huo Yue roared in anger, “You damned wretch! I should have advised Huo Tian to kill you back then!”

“Shh, shh, shh, keep it down, you’re an Elder, aren’t you? How can you be so undignified, what if you scare others?” Huo Chou smirked sinisterly.

“Pah, you really think escaping will help? I caught you once, I can catch you again!”

Fire flared around Huo Yue as he charged at Huo Chou, throwing several punches, but Huo Chou just casually put his hands behind his back, slightly shifting his body to effortlessly dodge all of Huo Yue’s attacks.

Huo Chou dodged nonchalantly, saying somewhat helplessly, “Huo Yue, do you really think it’s like the old days? You’re old now, too old to defeat me!”

Huo Chou swung his leg, so fast it appeared as an afterimage, instantly hitting Huo Yue’s abdomen. Huo Yue took a heavy blow, grunting as he was sent flying, slamming heavily against the wall, blood spurting from his mouth.

Ling Feng observed the fierce attack and defense techniques, inwardly admiring: Every move is so natural, as if practiced many times. Is this the power of the Nine Nether natives?

Huo Chou looked at Ling Feng and his companions, smiling, “Where did you worthless fools come from? How dare you call yourselves the prophesied saviors of the Huo Clan? You think you can save the Huo Clan?”

“I’m telling you, we Huo Clan don’t need your help, if you’re smart, get out of here quickly!”

Ling Feng smiled warmly, “I think you misunderstood, we never intended to intervene, we were about to leave when we ran into you, so we wanted to see how you plan to avert this disaster?”

Huo Chou laughed, “That’s just Huo Yue’s old delusion, an illusory prophecy, who would believe it? Once Huo Tian dies, I’ll become the new Clan Leader of the Huo Clan,”

“I’ll lead the Huo Clan into a new era of prosperity, defeat the Shui Clan and the other worlds’ weaklings, and then rule the entire Nine Nether!” Huo Chou passionately shouted about his grand ambitions.

“Oh, oh, quite an impressive plan,” Ling Feng praised, then turned to look at Huo Yue in the corner, smiling:

“Elder Huo Yue, I think Huo Chou might indeed be promising, maybe he’s the prophesied one after all. We can’t save the Huo Clan, but Huo Chou seems to think he can, so everyone can be happy,”

“You should stop fighting, make peace, then swallow up the Shui Clan and others, I think your Huo Clan still has a chance to rule the Nine Nether!”

If it weren’t for Zhou Ming, Ling Feng thought to himself, he couldn’t help but laugh at the idea.

“Heh heh, this guy is violent and cruel, if he becomes the Clan Leader, the Huo Clan is truly finished, what face do I have to meet the ancestors in death!”

Fire rose from Huo Yue’s body again, but this time the flames bore golden lines, and the power was much greater.

Huo Chou stared at the flames, shaking his head, “Stubborn fool, if you had listened to these people and submitted, it would have been fine, why burn your life essence to fight me?”

“Do you think you can beat me?” Huo Chou shouted, then moved his feet, his hand igniting with Black Flame, aiming a palm at Huo Yue’s chest.

Seeing the Black Flame, Ling Feng frowned, a few suspicions surfacing in his mind.

The Black Flame spread over Huo Yue, quickly consuming the golden fire, leading to a violent explosion. Huo Yue spat blood again, falling backward.

Ling Feng sighed, finally catching the dying Huo Yue, “Elder, was it necessary?”

Huo Yue’s entire body was scorched black by the Black Flame; he coughed violently a few times, then tremblingly removed the red-patterned bracelet from his hand, giving it to Ling Feng.

“This is my most precious treasure, there’s another one with Huo Hui, although it lacks offensive power, it’s helpful for cultivating and calming the mind, and it can sense…”

“Cough cough, you are the prophesied ones, I beg you to save the Huo Clan. If two bracelets are still not enough, please save Huo Hui, he’s an unfortunate child and shouldn’t die with the Huo Clan…”

“Because he is not even of our…” Huo Yue could no longer breathe, his voice growing weaker until it finally faded into silence.

Ling Feng looked at the rapidly lifeless Huo Yue, closing the eyes of this elder who thought of the Huo Clan and its people even at his last moment.

As soon as Ling Feng touched Huo Yue’s body, he knew Huo Yue was beyond saving, the eerie power of the Black Flame had instantly destroyed all his meridians and organs, making survival impossible.

Ling Feng silently laid Huo Yue down, then looked at the undamaged bracelet, placing it into his Ring.

“Ling Feng, my friend?” Song Ruozhao asked.

“Ah Feng?” Ling Yao also had a thought.

“Alas,” Ling Feng shrugged helplessly, “I always thought I was like a bounty hunter or a hitman, you take the money, solve the problem, it’s only logical…”

“So you just can’t resist getting involved, can you?” Huo Chou said coldly.

“Alas, no choice, I think the bracelets are quite nice, and I want to get my hands on that Fire Lotus of yours, having taken these things, now I have to act!”

Ling Feng’s tone suddenly turned cold, and the Blade of the Apocalypse flew out, striking at Huo Chou several hundred times.

Huo Chou, realizing the speed of the Blade of the Apocalypse, ignited with flames all over, accelerating to his limit, constantly dodging the blade’s slashes.

“Jin Gang!” Ling Feng laughed.

Jin Gang immediately shrank down in size, appearing before Huo Chou, delivering a powerful punch with a “whoosh.”

Seeing the punch’s power, Huo Chou had to use one hand to counter Jin Gang’s punch, with Black Flame burning Huo Chou’s fist, injuring Jin Gang’s hand.

Jin Gang retreated in pain, and Huo Chou immediately flipped in the air, kicking the Blade of the Apocalypse away, now Huo Chou was entirely engulfed by Black Flame.

He coldly stared at Ling Feng in the air, shouting, “Foreigner, today we lay down our grudge, wait for my strength to fully recover, I will tear you limb from limb!”

Leaving harsh words, Huo Chou rode the Black Flame to leave the chamber.

Jin Gang and the Blade of the Apocalypse returned to Ling Feng’s Ring and the Jade Pendant, and then Ling Feng and the other two left the chamber, following the Jade Pendant’s guidance to finally find Huo Hui amidst the ruins.

As Ling Feng picked up the bloodied Huo Hui, he suddenly frowned, sensing something strange!
