"No... you can't kill me."
"I'm the Sun Clan's young master."
"Father, come save me!"
Sun Wenzong cried out loudly, retreating nonstop with terror written all over his face.
But Wei Yi remained completely unaffected.
With a swish, his sword swept over, severing Sun Wenzong's sword-wielding right hand.
Blood sprayed!
Seeing this from afar, Sun Zhenshan's eyes flew wide in fury, their corners nearly splitting.
"Wei Yi!"
"You dare hurt my son? I'll take your damned life!"
Sun Zhenshan immediately abandoned Wei Tianyang and charged furiously toward Wei Yi.
But how could Wei Tianyang let him have his way? His figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he blocked Sun Zhenshan's path again.
"Your opponent is me."
Sun Zhenshan's fury surged to the heavens, but there was nothing he could do.
Both were Martial King-level experts, and Wei Tianyang was even a notch stronger. He had absolutely no way to deal with Wei Tianyang.
The other Sun Clan experts were in the same situation, all firmly tied down by the Wei Clan's martial artists.
Sun Wenzong had nowhere to run.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Gritting his teeth, Sun Wenzong charged madly toward Wei Yi.
"You?"
"It's time you paid for what you did earlier."
"Die!"
Wei Yi's expression was cold. The treasured sword in his hand shot through the air like a venomous snake. Before Sun Wenzong could reach him, Wei Yi had already passed him.
Immediately afterward, Sun Wenzong clutched his throat and collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide.
There was no breath left in him.
"Ding, player Wei Yi has slain the Sun Clan's young master, Sun Wenzong. Cultivation experience +1,000. Thirteen Life-Seizing Swords skill experience +900."
The system notification sounded.
It also confirmed Sun Wenzong's death for Wei Yi. A cold smile curled his lips, without the slightest trace of pity.
Someone like this had courted death all on his own. He deserved it!
I'll get the Abnormal Fire first.
With the two Sun Wenzong brothers dead, Wei Yi had little interest in the other Sun Clan martial artists and immediately changed his target.
At this point, quite a few martial artists were charging toward the Abnormal Fire.
However, most were obstructing one another, and their movement techniques were not particularly fast.
Wei Yi unleashed his max-level Blackwater Movement Technique, instantly turning into a black shadow as he sprinted toward the mountainside.
As a mortal grade, supreme rank movement martial skill, the Blackwater Movement Technique was like a fish in water in this tangled mountain forest. In mere moments, he overtook the vast majority of the others. Even when they tried to intercept him, they could not affect him at all.
Soon, Wei Yi surged into the lead.
"Stop that brat."
"Kill him! We can't let him get the Abnormal Fire."
"Brat, stop right there!"
Many people shouted angrily.
But Wei Yi ignored them completely.
Instead, he charged faster and faster, widening the distance between himself and the others.
Soon, the Abnormal Fire came into Wei Yi's sight.
The Abnormal Fire was hovering inside a stone pit, shimmering with a crystalline crimson light. Up close, it looked less like a fiercely burning flame and more like a dazzling gemstone. It flickered and swayed constantly, as though it truly possessed life.
Wei Yi's eyes could not help lighting up slightly.
"It's Crimson Crystal True Flame."
"Crimson Crystal True Flame, ranked one hundred and eighth on the Abnormal Fire Ranking."
As a former player of the game, Wei Yi had a deep impression of every Abnormal Fire on the Abnormal Fire Ranking.
Although Crimson Crystal True Flame's ranking of one hundred and eighth might not seem high, it was actually quite extraordinary.
There were only a little over three hundred kinds of Abnormal Fire listed on the Abnormal Fire Ranking in total. Apart from those already subdued, the vast majority had vanished without a trace. Moreover, the conditions for Abnormal Fire to appear were extremely stringent. Ordinary martial artists might not see even a few kinds in their entire lives.
Furthermore, the higher an Abnormal Fire ranked, the more powerful it was, and the harder it was to subdue.
If it were one of the terrifying Abnormal Fires in the top ten, never mind Wei Yi-even a Martial King-level expert like his father probably had no chance of subduing it.
But this Crimson Crystal True Flame, ranked one hundred and eighth, was just right for Wei Yi as he was now!
"Ding, player Wei Yi has discovered the Abnormal Fire Crimson Crystal True Flame." "Ding, player Wei Yi has activated the Abnormal Fire System." "Ding, player Wei Yi must expend 10,000 cultivation experience to collect Crimson Crystal True Flame. If you choose to collect it, your cultivation realm will drop from ninth-stage Martial Master to eighth-stage Martial Master. Collect?"
The system notifications sounded at just the right moment.
Wei Yi's face immediately darkened.
He had only just advanced from eighth-stage Martial Master to ninth-stage Martial Master after so much effort, and now this would drop him right back down to eighth-stage Martial Master.
What a damn rip-off!
However, after a brief hesitation, Wei Yi still decided to collect it.
Ten thousand experience was nothing. With a little effort, he could earn it back, but Abnormal Fire was something money could not buy. Never mind ten thousand experience-even at a hundred thousand experience, he would not be losing out at all.
Just as Wei Yi decided to collect the Abnormal Fire, a sudden chill swept over his back. His heart jolted, and without looking back, he immediately dodged to the side.
Boom!
With a deafening blast, a terrifying force exploded behind him.
Although Wei Yi dodged in time, he still could not avoid being injured. The back of his clothing burst apart, blood streamed down, and his face turned somewhat pale.
Still shaken, Wei Yi turned to look. A young man in brocade robes stood where he had just been.
He seemed slightly surprised to see that Wei Yi had dodged.
"Not a bad movement technique."
The young man spoke with a cold sneer,
"But Abnormal Fire isn't something you can lay your hands on. There's still time for you to get lost."
Wei Yi's gaze was icy.
He immediately took out a bottle of healing pills he had refined a few days earlier and swallowed them, then tightened his grip on the Qinggang Sword.
"Get lost, my ass!"
Even as the words left his mouth, Wei Yi instantly swung his sword and attacked.
"You're courting death."
Hearing Wei Yi's insult, the brocade-robed young man's expression abruptly darkened as well.
He did not draw a weapon, but a layer of black light appeared over his palms. As he swung both hands, he actually blocked every one of Wei Yi's sword attacks head-on.
The brocade-robed young man's cultivation was not high. Like Wei Yi, he had yet to break through to the Great Martial Master Realm.
However, his strength was no weaker than Wei Yi's. In terms of combat strength, he was likewise at the Great Martial Master level.
Wei Yi could sense that the cultivation technique this brocade-robed young man practiced was of an extremely high grade, and the martial skills he possessed were also quite remarkable. His abilities in every respect were astonishing. Without his Bloodline Power, Wei Yi might even be inferior to him.
Wei Yi was certain that this brocade-robed young man had a formidable background, because ordinary factions simply could not nurture someone like him.
"Who exactly are you?"
Wei Yi asked coldly.
"Haha, scared? There's still time for you to kneel and kowtow to this young master. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it!"
The brocade-robed young man gritted his teeth.
Never in his life had he suffered such humiliation.
"If you want to die, I'll oblige."
Killing intent chilled Wei Yi's eyes, and he immediately intensified his offensive.
After all, the brocade-robed young man had no weapon. Wei Yi's frenzied assault soon forced him into a disadvantage, and his expression grew even darker and uglier.
"Wei Yi."
Just then, Wei Wu and the other two came sprinting over.
"Join forces and kill him first."
Wei Yi glanced at the three and gave the order directly.
Wei Wu paused, looking at the Crimson Crystal True Flame inside the stone pit, some hesitation in his heart.
Who would have thought that Wei Yuan would already make his move at this moment, taking the lead in attacking the brocade-robed young man? Left with no choice, Wei Wu and Wei Hong could only join the attack.
The brocade-robed young man was already struggling against Wei Yi alone. With Wei Yuan and the other two joining in, danger immediately surrounded him. Seething with hatred, he glared fixedly at Wei Yi. "Brat, I'll remember you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he darted out of the fight and fled into the distance without hesitation.
Wei Yi's gaze turned cold. He wanted to pursue and kill him, but Wei Wu held him back.
"Collect the Abnormal Fire first."
"We'll stand guard for you."
Wei Yi took a deep breath, looked at Wei Yuan and the other two, and nodded.
"Sorry for the trouble, cousins. I'll be sure to reward you generously once we're back."
The three had voluntarily yielded the Abnormal Fire to Wei Yi, so naturally, he had to offer something in return.
Soon, Wei Yi walked up to the Abnormal Fire.
He reached out.
"Collect the Abnormal Fire."
Wei Yi spoke to the system.
"Ding, player Wei Yi has expended 10,000 cultivation experience. Beginning collection of the Abnormal Fire Crimson Crystal True Flame." "Countdown: 100, 99, 98, 97..."
