Yan Ming, wielding a long spear, descended from the sky.
Flame-covered Yan Ming and his spear transformed into a Flame Dragon and charged down.
The roar of the Flame Dragon shook the heavens and the earth!
The dragon's tail swayed, and space itself trembled!
The Flame Dragon Break is one of the Fire Clan's deadly moves, but Yan Ming has not yet broken through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm and cannot unleash his Power of Origin.
If the Origin of Fire is used to unleash the Flame Dragon Break, a single strike will leave not a blade of grass growing for 100,000 miles.
Watching Yan Ming rush down, a bold idea suddenly popped into Lin Heng's mind.
Lin Heng Lin Heng the Killing Sword, and with a twist of his wrist, the tip of the sword rotated, creating a series of sword shadows.
As he wielded the Killing Sword, Lin Heng quickly entered a wondrous state.
The image of Sun Yuan wielding the Nine-Origin Overlapping Waves Staff kept replaying in his mind.
Linked together, they rise and fall in waves.
At this moment, Lin Heng, wielding the Killing Sword, unleashed sword shadows that seemed to connect heaven and earth, like surging waves crashing one after another against the Flame Dragon in the sky.
Sun Yuan, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, was dumbfounded.
"Is this how I use the Nine-Origin Overlapping Waves Staff?"
Sun Yuan stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.
Although Lin Heng's swordsmanship is still somewhat immature, it has already begun to take shape.
Sun Yuan could tell that Lin Heng had acted on impulse, imitating his sword moves.
But this...
Sun Yuan already considered himself exceptionally talented and with outstanding aptitude, but he had practiced the Nine-Origin Overlapping Waves Staff countless times in secret, and with the experience and insights of his predecessors passed down in his memory, he was able to comprehend it in just a few months.
But Lin Heng didn't inherit any memories; he only saw himself use it a few times, and he already learned it?
Before Sun Yuan could think further, Lin Heng's Killing Sword had already clashed with the Flame Dragon's head.
Flame Dragon swallowed a sword, and flames soared into the sky.
In a single exchange, Lin Heng and his Killing Sword were engulfed in flames.
But soon, countless sword shadows overlapped in the firelight.
A crack gradually appeared in the flames, and this crack expanded rapidly from the moment it appeared.
An unparalleled sword aura then emanated from the crack.
'roar!'
The fire dragon let out a painful roar, and the flames that had engulfed Lin Heng and the Killing Sword began to dissipate and return to the fire dragon.
Faced with the relentless onslaught of the Killing Sword, the fire dragon's originally formidable aura was gradually suppressed.
Less than three seconds have passed since the Killing Sword clashed with the fire dragon, and the once unstoppable fire dragon has already shown signs of defeat.
Seeing this scene, the Eight Great Imperial Clans families were quite dissatisfied.
Lei Clan: " Yan Ming is completely unable to unleash the full power of the Flame Dragon Break. Even if he manages to use it, it's just a facade. It doesn't matter that he lost, but he has also completely disgraced the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
Metal Clan: "It's all because someone had ulterior motives, and now they've lost more than they gained."
Earth Clan: " Seventh-Turn Samsara, defeated head-on by First-Turn Samsara, how ironic."
Hearing the cold words from behind, the Fire Clan representative felt a surge of anger.
But this was indeed driven by his own selfish motives, and he dared not retaliate at the moment.
The Fire Clan representative, barely suppressing his anger, watched as the flames in front of him gradually dissipated and the sword shadows forcefully pushed back the fire dragon in battle. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and made his move.
'call!'
The Fire Clan representative vanished from his spot in a flash, instantly appearing at the point where the Killing Sword and the dragon's head clashed.
The Fire Clan representative waved his right hand, and a long, crimson sword shot out a sharp sword light that slashed between the sword light and the dragon's head, forcefully repelling the two combatants.
The impact of the three energies sent the three of them flying backward.
The powerful aftershocks of energy spread outwards, and Yan Ming, who was already at his limit, no longer had the power to resist these aftershocks.
'puff!'
Shocked by the aftershock of the energy, Yan Ming, who was in mid-air, coughed up blood and fell helplessly.
Not far away, the Fire Clan representative, who had blocked the aftershocks of the energy, quickly flashed again to catch the unconscious Yan Ming.
Looking at Lin Heng's side, he easily blocked the aftershocks of the energy, and incidentally, the Power of the Void also absorbed some of the energy as nourishment.
After both sides landed smoothly, Lin Heng stepped forward, raised his Killing Sword, and pointed it at the Fire Clan representative.
"Is this how your Fire Clan behaves?"
Faced with Lin Heng's questioning, a murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Fire Clan representative.
But at the same time, five unfriendly gazes from behind the Fire Clan representative made him immediately restrain himself.
Knowing full well that the five major forces representing the Ascenders were involved, and that this matter was untenable, if they were to forcibly attack Lin Heng today to seek revenge, they feared they would immediately face a joint attack from the representatives of the five parties, including the Firmament Hall.
The Fire Clan representative had no choice but to suppress his murderous intent and instead said, " Lin Heng, I have already admitted defeat, why do you still want to kill me?"
Lin Heng sneered, "There's a limit to shamelessness, isn't there? So many people here today saw it with their own eyes. I clearly wanted to stop, but your Fire Clan insisted on attacking, leaving me no choice but to retaliate."
Lin Heng smiled disdainfully, "What? You Fire Clan are allowed to attack, but I'm not allowed to defend and counterattack?"
After being rebuked by Lin Heng, the Fire Clan representative's face turned extremely ugly.
Normally, he was basking in the glory of the Fire Clan and could roam freely throughout the Ninefold Heaven. But today, he was publicly humiliated by Lin Heng, and the huge difference in their status intensified his killing intent.
With the five major powers of the Ascenders beings watching them with predatory eyes, the Fire Clan representative had no choice but to back down. "Let's leave it at that. I will have someone deliver what I promised you."
Leaving behind this message, the Fire Clan representative intended to take Yan Ming away to heal his wounds.
How could Lin Heng possibly agree?
"It wouldn't be right for us to just leave like this!"
Lin Heng called out to the Fire Clan representative who had just turned around.
The other person turned around, his eyes flashing with anger, veins bulging on his forehead, and he looked ready to explode at any moment.
" Lin Heng, don't push your luck."
The Fire Clan representative roared angrily.
Lin Heng, however, seemed completely oblivious to the Fire Clan representative's face, which was almost contorted with rage, and said calmly, "You proposed the duel, and you forcibly intervened before the battle was over. Shouldn't you give an explanation?"
The Fire Clan representative frowned. " Lin Heng, I've already made Yan Ming admit defeat, what more do you want?"
Lin Heng laughed. Indeed, the Fire Clan had taken shamelessness to the extreme.
"You want Yan Ming to admit defeat? But has he admitted defeat?"
Upon hearing Lin Heng's words, the Fire Clan representative fell silent.
Everyone could see that Yan Ming did not listen to his orders to surrender, but continued to attack Lin Heng.
"Since he hasn't admitted defeat, it means this battle isn't over. In a martial arts contest, life and death are in the hands of fate. Why are you interfering?"
"If everyone were like your Fire Clan, wouldn't all the heroic spirits who died in the previous martial arts competitions become souls of wronged death?"
With just a few words, Lin Heng pushed the Fire Clan into a dangerous situation.
In an instant, all the hundreds of sects in the entire Soul-Burying Mountain Range turned their gazes toward the Fire Clan representative.
That questioning gaze seemed to be asking a question.
You Fire Clan people are human, but don't those of us who died in battle count as human?
