The Eternal Supreme Chapter 217

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!”

“Not good! He’s going to self-detonate with the Bluelotus Earth Fire!” Zhu Jin said shockingly. “The self-detonation of a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster with the Bluelotus Earth Fire will certainly drown the whole Yanwu in a sea of flames!”

Under the heat waves rose to the sky, Ao Dijia’s face looked blurry. He snorted coldly and said, “What does this have anything to do with us?” There was a complicated look in his eyes as he said faintly, “A pity that we can’t have a look at the array inside that pagoda.”

Xin Pi wore a gloomy face and seemed to agree as well.

Although the whole of Yanwu was about to fall into flames, and every person in the city would most likely die, in the eyes of these experts, it was no different from the killing of ants in an entire city.

Just when Xingyang Huo went crazy, a disdainful voice came into his ears, “What makes you think you deserve to let the whole city die with you?”

That gave Xingyang Huo a pause. He followed the voice and saw Yunxiao looking contemptuously at him. He froze and saw a pair of blood-red eyes; his head went abuzz suddenly, and he lost his consciousness for a brief moment.

“Not good! It’s a spiritual attack!”

He woke almost instantly, and he stared at Yunxiao in horror, his inner shock beyond measure. But, what made him even more despairing was when he saw Duan Yue thrust a fist at him and smash it straight into his chest. The Bluelotus Earth Fire, which was spiritually connected with him and had become extremely violent, was controlled by the hand right inside his body!

“YOU!” Xingyang Huo let out a roar of despair. “I cannot accept this!”

BOOM!

His body exploded in an instant. Although the self-detonation of a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster was powerful, it would not cause widespread damage. Duan Yue rotated his energy and withstood the explosion, causing his body to be seriously injured. But, he dared not dodge, because the Bluelotus Earth Fire was still under his control in his palm. If he failed to suppress it and caused it to explode together with Xingyang Huo, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“What happened? Why did Xingyang Huo suddenly halt for a brief moment at the last minute and give that man a chance?” Ao Dijia’s pupils constricted as he asked with great bewilderment.

Xin Pi and Zhu Jin looked blank too, as they were both lost in deep thought. They also could not understand what had just happened. It was impossible for Xingyang Huo to stand there unmoving for no reason.

Zhu Jin sighed and said with a wry smile, “If we want to know the answer, I think we have to ask Xingyang Huo.”

Meanwhile, Xin Pi’s eyes burst with a gleam as he stared at the Bluelotus Earth Fire in Duan Yue’s hand. His face flickered, which clearly showed that he was struggling on the inside.

Ao Dijia glanced at him and chuckled. “Why? Are you tempted? Are you going to kill all the people down below and take the strange fire for yourself, or keep watching from here? Well, the value of this Bluelotus Earth Fire is not lesser than an ordinary mystic treasure. If you take it and refine it, you may advance a star in your cultivation base directly.”

After listening to what he said, Xin Pi’s face relaxed, and he became extremely calm. With a faint voice, he said, “Hmph! I’m not cultivating fire-element martial techniques. The time it will take me to refine the Bluelotus Earth Fire is enough for me to advance one star myself. It seems that this man has no problem subduing the fire. The incident of the Xingyang family finally has a result, and the stone pressed on everyone’s mind has been lifted. Let’s leave now!”

“But…”

Xin Pi’s eyes became somewhat distant as he said lightly, “…Mount Meru is about to open, and I hope everyone will continue to be on your guard and not let anything go wrong. There must be a reason for Yanwu’s sudden rise. I hope aristocratic families that have problems with Yanwu can exercise a little restraint and try not to provoke them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Although it is not easy for a thousand-year-old aristocratic family to fall, when it does, it may only take a blink of an eye. The Xingyang family is a perfect example.”

After saying that, he glanced at the Zhou family and the Cheng family, and then gradually disappeared into the void. Zhu Jin and Ao Dijia also gave the crowd a look, and then disappeared together.

The elders of the Zhou family and the Cheng family saw the glances and shivered. After the crowd dispersed, the three of them discussed secretly for a while with gloomy faces before flying back.

After grabbing the Bluelotus Earth Fire, Duan Yue mustered all his strength to suppress it and slowly absorbed it into his body. At the moment, he was already severely wounded from Xingyang Huo’s self-detonation. But, if he did not take the opportunity to absorb the fire, it would be very difficult for him to suppress it. After all, once he let it go, the strange fire would fly back to the boundless heaven and earth, almost impossible to be found again.

He sucked in a breath and opened his mouth to swallow the strange fire. Immediately, he turned red all over and fell to the ground, struggling in pain. The air rang with his miserable screams.

Looking at the pain on his face, Yunxiao called out to the lonely Bluewolf chariot in the air, “Come down, all six of you, and do your best to suppress the strange fire for him.”

Six figures immediately fell from the chariot. They glanced around in fear as they surrounded Duan Yue and exerted their strong soul power to suppress the strange fire in him. It did not help much, but it could greatly alleviate his pain.

At that moment, all the people in the sky were gone, and even Li Yi was nowhere to be found. When he saw Duan Yue’s pain was gradually alleviated, Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled at the pill pagoda as he threw out a few incantation seals and went inside directly.
