Dealing with Trouble

The moment the silver-red Greater Luo Fire Talisman appeared, the blood shadow arrived with overwhelming killing intent. Its palm, shrouded in dark red, viscous blood mist, contrasted sharply with Yi Chen's handsome face, making it appear exceptionally ferocious.

"Die!"

As soon as the ferocious shout fell, Yi Chen slammed his palm down fiercely at Tang Huo'er. At this moment, the surrounding space cracked open with thin, dark fissures, and a towering blood mist filled the sky.

A sharp, pungent smell of blood assaulted their senses. Looking at Yi Chen's ferocious expression, a chill flashed in Tang Huo'er's eyes. The silver-red flame talisman in her hand silently swept through the air, then, amidst the astonished gazes, it clashed violently with Yi Chen's bloody hand.

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion suddenly resounded at that moment. The massive stone platform, nearly twenty feet in size, shattered into countless fragments with a "bang." A terrifying ripple of energy spread out rapidly, but just before it reached the crowd, it was quietly neutralized by a gentle force that seemed to come from nowhere. Even so, some people who were closer to the stone platform were still shaken so badly that they coughed up blood and staggered back.

The square was briefly agitated by the disturbance, but soon all eyes turned to the center of the square, where dust filled the air, obscuring the view.

"Bang!"

Just as everyone was getting anxious, a deep, muffled sound suddenly rang out, and then everyone saw a figure fly out of the arena like a kite with a broken string, then crash heavily to the ground, flying dozens of meters before slowly stabilizing.

Everyone's gaze followed, and when they saw the blood covering his body instantly congealed by the high temperature, turning into dark red scabs, making him look extremely disheveled, the entire arena fell silent. Many people gasped. This Killing Asura of the Tianming Sect had actually been defeated today, and defeated so miserably! In the silence, the dust gradually settled, and a beautiful, fiery red figure slowly emerged. All eyes turned to her, and they saw that her clothes were still neat and tidy, and she did not look like someone who had just experienced a great battle.

"With this level of skill, you still want to cause trouble for Xiao Yuan? When I get back, I will have a good talk with my father about what happened today. Don't think that just because the world divides your Tianming Sect into two sects and my Burning Flame Valley into Three Valleys, my Burning Flame Valley is afraid of your Tianming Sect."

Tang Huo'er's icy voice echoed between heaven and earth, and her domineering demeanor drew the attention of many.

"Pfft!"

With a face ashen, Yi Chen finally spat out a mouthful of blood. His pride had been utterly shattered today.

Looking at Yi Chen, whose face was ashen and who was spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Huo'er coldly stared at him. She still held a blood-red Storage Ring in her palm. She had forcibly pulled it from Yi Chen's finger during their fight. In the end, she couldn't completely tear off their relationship. After all, if the two sides really went to war, it would mean bloodshed and sacrifice. She was the young lady of Burning Flame Valley and could not cause a war between the two sects because of a momentary impulse. She would just consider this Storage Ring a spoil of war.

"Return the Storage Ring!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Yi Chen stared at Tang Huo'er with bloodshot eyes, his fierce appearance like that of a wild beast.

"Come and take it yourself if you dare. If you think this Storage Ring is less valuable than your life, you can try again. But even if I kill you, this Storage Ring will still be mine." Tang Huo'er chuckled, then said calmly, "You have already lost the arena match. Take your people and leave."

Yi Chen's face twitched, his eyes fixed on Tang Huo'er with a vicious glint in them, his killing intent surging. However, he also knew that Tang Huo'er's strength was indeed much greater than his, and in a direct confrontation, he would truly be no match for her! While Yi Chen's face turned ashen, Chen Tiannan, standing to the side, also looked extremely grave. He had underestimated Tang Huo'er. He hadn't expected that even Yi Shura, the infamous leader of the Tianming Sect, had been defeated by her. Judging from this, Tang Huo'er was probably a true prodigy among the younger generation of Central State.

Furthermore, given more time, even I might not be a match for her! This is quite bad! "This woman cannot be allowed to live, otherwise she will surely become a great threat in the future."

A chilling killing intent flashed through Chen Tiannan's heart. His gaze shifted, and he suddenly took a step forward, his figure flashing as he appeared about ten feet in front of Tang Huo'er. A cold shout also resounded like thunder in the square:

"You ill-mannered girl, you actually snatched someone else's things during a sparring match. Didn't Tang Zhen teach you anything about manners?"

As soon as the shout fell, Chen Tiannan hand pierced through the void and grabbed at Tang Huo'er's head. Judging from the look of it, if it was grabbed firmly, Tang Huo'er's head would explode like a watermelon.

"Chen Tiannan!"

The Qiu Ling outside the stone platform also changed their expressions and roared angrily.

Chen Tiannan seemed oblivious to Qiu Ling's angry roar. At this moment, his killing intent towards Tang Huo'er had surged to its peak. If he didn't kill her personally today, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating in the future. After all, Tang Huo'er could really lead the people of Burning Flame Valley to deal with his Xuanming Sect in the future! Chen Tiannan's face was ferocious, but just as his palm was about to strike Tang Huo'er, the latter showed no panic on her face. The next moment, a huge object radiating seven-colored light appeared above Chen Tiannan's head.

"Clang!"

The sudden attack forced Chen Tiannan to change his tactics. After dispersing the offensive he was preparing, he crossed his arms above his head. Immediately afterward, the sound of metal clashing rang out. Chen Tiannan took several steps back and looked at Tang Huo'er with a gloomy expression.

A vortex of seven-colored light swirled back, and as the light dissipated, a stunningly beautiful woman with a devilish figure appeared before Tang Huo'er.

"Sister Cai Lin! I knew you were nearby!"

Tang Huo'er smiled and took Cai Lin's arm, saying sweetly.

Feeling the tingling and numbness in his arm, Chen Tiannan's expression turned somewhat ugly. After a moment, he said, "Such ruthless physical strength. Your true form is a magical beast, isn't it?"

However, before Cai Lin could speak, a purple light appeared, and a small, white fist broke through space without warning, smashing into Chen Tiannan's face.

What did Warcraft do to you?

Accompanied by a somewhat immature question, Chen Tiannan was blasted away.

"Bang!"

A deep voice rang out in mid-air, and an invisible ripple of wind spread out like lightning. The stone platform, which had already turned into rubble, shattered into dust all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a petite figure emerge from the space.

"Sister Cai Lin, I'm here to help you!"

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips and said confidently.

"Clang clang!"

Chen Tiannan retreated in defeat, and the group of the Xuanming Sect experts immediately pulled out gleaming weapons from their Storage Ring, staring at Tang Huo'er with murderous intent. It seemed that as long as the former gave the order, they would immediately rush up and chop the three people on the platform into mincemeat.

"Laugh!"

As these guys drew their weapons, a figure stepped out from the space, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire scene. A vast aura surged out from his body like an erupting volcano, directly terrifying the group of fierce and evil people so much that their legs went weak and their hearts pounded wildly!

"Eight Star Dou Zun?"

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Heavenly Flame Venerable, Chen Tiannan's face was filled with horror. He could naturally sense the Heavenly Flame Venerable's strength. Eight Star Dou Zun was one of the top combat powers even within the Tianming Sect! "Xiao Yuan actually has so many powerful people around him. It seems that even without the protection of the Danta, these people who came today probably can't do anything to him."

Chen Tiannan's mouth twitched slightly. After some consideration, he realized with a grim face that the people he brought were not even enough to fight back. The two women who appeared later were already difficult to deal with, not to mention the super strong expert who was Eight Star Dou Zun!

Faced with this sudden reversal of fortune, Chen Tiannan was somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't beat them in a fight, and he couldn't steal their power either, so what could he do? Yi Chen's expression also changed because of this scene. Although he believed that very few people among the younger generation could surpass him, he still had to restrain his arrogance when facing a true Dou Zun expert. The Peak Dou Zong and Dou Zun were two completely different concepts, and the gap between them was immeasurable.

Now that nearly three Dou Zun expert have suddenly appeared on Tang Huo'er's side, it seems that the purpose of their large-scale arrival today can no longer be achieved.

"Sect Leader Chen, you've made enough of a scene today. If this continues, even the three guild leaders will find it unbearable!"

Qiu Ling's expression was somewhat gloomy. If word got out that Chen Tiannan had caused trouble at the entrance of the Danta, it wouldn't do the Danta any good. Fortunately, Tang Huo'er was quite strong and easily resolved the matter, while also giving the Xuanming Sect a good slap in the face.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tiannan's expression changed slightly, and Yi Chen's eyes also turned cold as he said in a chilling voice, "Does Elder Qiu really think that the things of my Tianming Sect are so easy to take?"

"Heh, why don't you take it back if you dare?"

Tang Huo'er mocked.

"Snort"

Chen Tiannan sneered, and just as he was about to speak, he felt a hot hand press against his back.

A cold voice suddenly rang out. "Whether you are from the Xuanming Sect or the Tianming Sect, I have never heard of you. But since you have come to cause trouble for Xiao Yuan, I will take care of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent and intense burst of energy erupted out, directly destroying all the meridians in Chen Tiannan's body! To everyone's horror, Chen Tiannan's body trembled violently, and then burst into flames from the inside out. Before he could even let out a scream, he turned into ashes.

Snap! Immediately after Heavenly Flame Venerable snapped his fingers, the Xuanming Sect members spontaneously combusted. Even Yi Chen was shocked to find that his body became incredibly hot, and then he turned into a fireball.

Moments later, all the Xuanming Sect members who came to cause trouble were burned to nothingness. If it weren't for the Storage Ring scattered on the ground, probably no one would have been able to tell that someone had been here.

"Senior Tianhuo's strength has improved again, congratulations."

Tang Huo'er walked up with a smile and offered her congratulations.

"Hehe, this is all thanks to that kid Xiao Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable waved his hand dismissively, but his face clearly betrayed a smile.

Although the Five Fire Seeds that Xiao Yuan planted in his body could not compare to the Heavenly Flames, they were only inferior to the Heavenly Flames. Their strength was much higher than those man-made flames and some Beast Fire.

Even more amazingly, he discovered that while nurturing the fire seed, he could also improve his own cultivation. With his many years of experience, nurturing the fire seed was naturally a piece of cake for him.

In addition, the Pill Domain has many alchemists and never lacks rare Medicinal Herbs and fire sources. Therefore, during the time Xiao Yuan was away, his strength improved again.

As for the group from the Xuanming Sect that just wiped out, that's not a big problem.

With his keen eye, he naturally realized long ago that the three giants of the Danta were not ordinary Dou Zun Peak, but had already stepped into the Nine Revolutions Realm. Although he could not see their specific realm, he estimated that they would not be lower than the Fifth Revolution.

With such strength, to say that the Danta fears the retaliation of the Tianming Sect would be to underestimate the three giants of the Danta.

In the past, the three giants were restrained by the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which naturally hindered them. However, now that the Three Thousand Burning Flame are locked in a stalemate with Xiao Yan, they will be devoured by him sooner or later. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Pill Tower Three Giants are completely liberated.

The fact that the Xuanming Sect dared to cause trouble for the next leader of the Danta is essentially no different from provoking the three leaders of the Danta.

The Pill Tower Three Giants had to consider their status and seniority, Tang Huo'er had to consider the Burning Flame Valley she represented, so they were all reluctant to kill anyone. But Yao TianHuo was different.

Moreover, having been by Xiao Yuan's side for so long, Heavenly Flame Venerable naturally knew Xiao Yuan's style of doing things.

If you can't win, play it safe; if you can win, kill them.

What else is there to say? They've already delivered themselves to our doorstep, are we going to let them swagger back? If we don't like them, we'll kill them, what are you going to do about it?

"Alright, everyone go back now. I wonder how that kid did. I still have some questions for him."

Heavenly Flame Venerable waved his hand, and his figure vanished without a trace.

"Thank you for cleaning up this mess, Great Elder. We'll head back now!"

Seeing this, Tang Huo'er smiled and cupped her hands in greeting to Qiu Ling.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll take care of things here."

Qiu Ling smiled and nodded.

Although Cai Lin was always aloof, she naturally didn't give Qiu Ling, who had a fairly good relationship with Xiao Yuan, a cold shoulder. After nodding slightly in greeting, she pulled Zi Yan, who was making faces at Qiu Ling, and Tang Huo'er was standing to the side, into the void and disappeared.

"Tsk, this kid is really lucky, the girls around him are so strong too."

Watching the three women leave, Qiu Ling couldn't help but shake his head and exclaim in amazement.
