"Um, what's his name again?"
Lin Heng looked at Sun Yuan with a puzzled expression. With acting skills like that, he was definitely at the level of an award-winning actor.
Yan Lie was naturally furious. He never expected that Lin Heng, with his status and position, would resort to such tricks.
But in the short time that Lin Heng was pretending to be stupid, more than a dozen disciples from the Dragon Flame Sect were stomped on the ground by Sun Yuan's big feet and instantly turned into minced meat.
Seeing this, how could Yan Lie not know that this was something Lin Heng had deliberately done for him to see?
As long as Sun Yuan isn't stopped, disciples of the Dragon Flame Sect will be killed by Sun Yuan every minute and every second.
" Lin Heng..."
When Yan Lie spoke this time, his voice was extremely cold, and even his breath emitted chilling air.
The group of powerful Fire Clan members behind Yan Lie glared at Lin Heng with murderous intent.
To be honest, Lin Heng's excuse was rather flimsy.
You can't even remember the names of the powerful figures in your own sect?
Anyone could see that this was just a flimsy excuse by Lin Heng to trick more Dragon Flame Sect disciples into death.
I'll settle this score with you later!
Yan Lie knew it was impossible to get Lin Heng to stop Sun Yuan, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.
'call!'
Yan Lie raised his right hand and grabbed forward, and a large sword burning with flames appeared in his hand.
The fire moved with the wind, and its flames surged. In the blink of an eye, the flames on the greatsword covered both the blade and Yan Lie himself, turning him into a fiery figure.
This is one of the fighting styles of the Fire Clan's Heavenly Venerable Realm experts: enveloping their entire bodies in Power of Origin when fighting.
Every punch and kick is imbued with primal flames, which not only enhances attack power but also significantly increases defense.
Just as Yan Lie was about to make his move, a figure blocked his way.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lin Heng!
Now Yan Lie was completely enraged. " Lin Heng, are you declaring war on our Fire Clan?"
Lin Heng curled his lip in disdain. "Today, our Battle Heaven Pavilion came here to rest, but after we explained our purpose, the Dragon Flame Sect not only refused to accept us, but also activated its sect-protecting formation to attack us."
"We were merely reacting defensively, which is perfectly reasonable."
"But now your Fire Clan wants to interfere. I'd like to ask, what is the meaning of this?"
Lin Heng's question left Yan Lie stunned.
How did things turn out that I was in the wrong as we talked?
" Lin Heng, you call this a counterattack?"
"If Sun Yuan doesn't stop, the entire Dragon Flame Sect will be wiped out."
Yan Lie, Yan Lie roared in fury.
Lin Heng glanced at Sun Yuan and nodded secretly.
That's about enough. If we give Sun Yuan a few more seconds, the Dragon Flame Sect probably won't have many disciples left.
Yan Lie realized that Lin Heng was deliberately delaying, so he dared not linger for even a moment longer and swung his flaming greatsword to charge at Sun Yuan again.
'Bang!'
The next second, Yan Lie's flaming greatsword and Lin Heng's Eight-Origin Heaven-Piercing Spear clashed fiercely in mid-air, the crisp sound accompanied by a crack appearing in the space where the two clashed.
Seeing that he was blocked by Lin Heng again, Yan Lie completely erupted. The flames of his greatsword condensed into a huge fire wolf, which bared its fangs and claws and tried to bite at Lin Heng.
" Fire Venerable's Wrath!"
Lin Heng's lips curled up slightly, and he thrust the Eight-Origin Heaven-Piercing Spear into the sky, unleashing endless flames that quickly enveloped him.
In a short moment, the flames condensed behind Lin Heng into a hundred-foot-tall phantom image of fire.
Just as the Yan Lie wolf pounced in front of Lin Heng, the fiery phantom raised its enormous hand, grabbed the wolf, and threw it into its mouth.
After a series of crunching sounds, the fire wolf let out a miserable howl and then fell silent.
" The Origin of Fire?"
How could you possibly possess the Origin of Fire?
Yan Lie recognized that the flames released by Lin Heng were the same Origin of Fire as his own.
But he couldn't understand how Lin Heng could also possess this primordial fire, which was unique to his own Fire Clan.
After all, if they were not both primordial flames, no other flame could possibly devour this supreme primordial flame.
Lin Heng's lips curled into a mocking smile, but he offered no explanation.
Are you so surprised just by seeing the primordial fire?
Yan Lie was unaware that Lin Heng possessed all eight fundamental sources.
'roar!'
Just as the two finished their initial exchange, not far away, Sun Yuan let out a deafening roar.
Before Lin Heng and Yan Lie could even turn their heads to look, at the same time as the angry roar, a figure crashed heavily from the sky, swayed in front of the two of them, and finally slammed into the ground below.
With a loud 'boom,' the hard stone ground cracked open, revealing a deep, circular pit.
Just before the dust rose, Lin Heng and Yan Lie both saw that the Xutuzi mouth was bleeding.
As Lin Heng and Yan Lie looked towards Sun Yuan, the battle had already ended.
The corpses of the Dragon Flame Sect disciples and elders lay scattered on the ground, their blood staining the earth red.
Sun Yuan's true form as a thousand-foot-tall giant ape also returned to human form.
He stood amidst the pile of corpses, his blood-stained clothes still dripping blood. Even from hundreds of meters away, one could still feel the violent aura emanating from Sun Yuan.
Could it be...?
Yan Lie watched Sun Yuan's retreating figure, desperately recalling Sun Yuan's transformed appearance before, and a bold conjecture appeared in his mind.
" Yan Lie, what? Do you intend to attack the people of my Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
Lin Heng sensed something was wrong and quickly interrupted Yan Lie.
Interrupted by Lin Heng, Yan Lie's thoughts were temporarily pulled back. Looking at the corpses of the Dragon Flame Sect scattered all over the ground, Yan Lie's face was extremely ugly.
" Lin Heng, today I will..."
Just as Yan Lie was about to speak and utter some harsh words, hundreds or even thousands of figures flew in from all directions, and countless points of light flashed by, landing near the Dragon Flame Sect in the blink of an eye.
" Yan Lie, what are you planning to do today? What? Are you going to attack those of us Ascenders?"
A scholar with a folding fan in his hand, a refined demeanor, and a humble smile on his face stepped forward, and behind him was Liuyun Lan.
"Haha! Yan Lie, since when did you become the one in charge of the Eighth Heaven?"
Another loud laugh rang out, and a man dressed in a black bodysuit, with flowing blue hair dancing in the wind and muscles that looked like they were about to burst from the tight-fitting clothes, walked over.
Behind the man in the tight-fitting clothes was Chen Yulin.
With Liuyun Lan and Chen Yulin present, it's not hard to imagine that the scholar and the man in the martial arts outfit are clearly representatives of the Firmament Hall and Asura Island of the Eighth Heaven.
Following these two, representatives from the remaining Thirteen Factions in the Eighth Heaven appeared one by one, and an invisible tension quickly spread among the Eight Great Imperial Clans of the Ascenders.
