Duke Inferno: Hime Yuan Isn't a Purple-Haired Woman, Is She? [Second Update]

Sunday had his own plans, but he only had one sister. He wouldn't want anything to happen to her, even if it meant his own death. Her accident on her way back to Penacony was completely out of his control. This made him anxious and somewhat disoriented, and he was willing to do anything to save his sister.

"Don't worry, they're after me. Miss Robin is just caught in the crossfire. I'll find them too. I promise, Miss Robin won't be in any danger."

Ji Yuan couldn't stand by and watch the Robin be harmed because of his own actions. He clenched his fist, intending to kill the person who dared to kidnap the Robin.

Sunday nodded. "Okay, then you must let me know if you have any news. I'll do the same for you, I'll let you know if I have any new news."

"Okay. I have a slight clue. I seem to recognize that flame. I'll discuss it with my teacher later, and I think we can come to a conclusion."

"Um."

The two hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Ji Yuan saw Sushang and Tingyun looking at him with worried eyes.

"Miss Robin?" Although Tingyun was a little jealous of the duet between Ji Yuan and Robin at the time, she was still very concerned about Miss Robin's safety.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this. I need to discuss it with Teacher Ruan Mei first."

"Um."

Without delay, Ji Yuan quickly took Tingyun and Sushang home, and then found Herta and Ruan Mei.

After listening to Ji Yuan finish recounting these events, Herta crossed his arms and asked Ji Yuan, "So, do you know who the kidnapper is?"

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, that should be the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze of Tevat. I think only the Phase Flame or the flame that originated from Tevat can achieve teleportation."

Ji Yuan possessed an illustrated guide containing information on all creatures in the universe, and he was familiar with the Tevat clan.

Nanook personally destroyed the planet Tevat with the flames of White Star and the power of destruction. The raging flames gave birth to plasma lifeforms known as the "Fire Demons." Grand Duke Inferno Affliction, the most outstanding among the Fire Demons, became the leader of this race. From birth, he was obsessed with destruction and slaughter, and regarded the destruction of his home planet as a gift from Nanook.

"That's right, you guessed correctly. If nothing unexpected happens, it was those guys from the Annihilation Gang who did it."

Herta and Nguyen Mai shared the same idea.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze is capable of doing so, and also has ample reason to oppose Ji Yuan.

Who caused the greatest loss to the Lord of Destruction due to Ji Yuan's current actions? He is practically the number one enemy hindering destruction.

Herta thought for a moment and said to Ji Yuan, "If it's him, then Robin shouldn't be in any danger right now. He's a very flamboyant guy; he wouldn't do anything to harm people behind their backs. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll receive his challenge soon."

"Um."

Ji Yuan also expressed his approval.

Just as he was thinking this, there was a knock at the door.

Ji Yuan and the others went outside.

At that moment, Ji Yuan saw a mechanical bird appear before him. And hanging on that mechanical bird was a letter.

Ji Yuan conjured a ball of ice in his hand and took the letter. Seeing the letter in Ji Yuan's hand, the mechanical bird spread its wings and flew away.

After the clever bird flew away, Ji Yuan noticed that flames had suddenly burst into flames on the letter. After the flames subsided, the letter transformed into a red and black invitation.

The invitation card had two large characters written in blood-red script.

[Challenge]

Ji Yuan once again used ice elements to open the challenge.

[Ji Yuan, Robin is already in my hands. Rest assured, she will be unharmed. Ji Yuan, you have used various schemes and tricks to defeat several of Lord Nanook's Emanator. I despise your actions. Therefore, I wish to challenge you to a fair duel. If you wish, please come alone to the Eternal Fire Manor — the Annihilation Gang, to Grand Duke Inferno Affliction.]

Upon seeing the challenge, everyone turned their gaze to Ji Yuan.

"Ji Yuan, what are your plans?"

Ruan Mei asked Ji Yuan.

"Of course we're going. Although the Annihilation Gang isn't as strong as the Lord of Destruction, it's time for them to disappear after doing so many evil deeds."

Chapter 253 Grand Duke Infernal Blaze: Ji Yuan isn't a purple-haired woman, is she? [Second Update]

Eternal Fire Manor.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze arranged a seat for Robin in the hall so that she could stay comfortably there.

As for binding and restricting things, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze was too lazy to do it, nor was there any need to. He was right here, Robin could still escape, then he shouldn't be fighting Ji Yuan.

"Miss Robin, please sit here peacefully. If you need anything, you can tell me. I have already sent a challenge to Ji Yuan, and I will protect your safety until he arrives."

"The Grand Duke Infernal Blaze spoke to the robin with an air of Robin," said the Duke of Hellfire.

"And then what happened after he arrived?"

The Robin couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course, it depends on the outcome of our battle. If Ji Yuan wins, I can't control how he takes you away. But if I win, Miss Robin, I will take you and him down with me. Although I despise his actions, I admire his achievements. The destruction of such a person naturally requires offerings to accompany him."

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze spoke calmly and unhurriedly, showing no sign of tension before the decisive battle. The confidence in his tone made even Robin, who was very confident in Ji Yuan's strength, somewhat hesitant.

At the very least, it will be a tough battle for Ji Yuan and him.

"Miss Robin, don't worry. When I really want to destroy you, I will do it quickly so that you will be free from pain. When that time comes, you will know that the body and spirit are only temporary, and only the brilliant destruction is worth pursuing. You will be destroyed, and I may also face destruction in the near future, or in the distant future."

"Rather than resisting destruction and living like a lump of mud, it's better to have a spectacular destruction."

As he spoke, a burning flower appeared in his hand. At that moment, several figures appeared in the empty hall.

"Children of Flame, a grand coming-of-age ceremony was held on the Xianzhou, something I cannot do. What I can give you is a coming-of-age ceremony filled with destruction."

He looked at a white-clad young man holding a cello.

"Akash, my most sensitive child, I ignite your eyes and teach you to pluck the strings. You shall play the banquet music on the four-stringed instrument and silence the hymns of the Harmony."

"That's exactly what I was thinking, Father."

The young man answered in this way.

His gaze continued to sweep across the room, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze settling on the white-haired little girl holding an apple.

"Dubra, my wisest child, I set your body ablaze, and teach you the arts of swords, saws, axes, and halberds. You must temper your iron sickle with sulfur, and bestow upon [joy] pain, so that the actor's blood and tears may flow into the River Styx."

"Yes, Father."

The little white-haired girl nodded gently.

As soon as she finished speaking, her entire body fell downwards, only to be pulled back by several silk threads. At this moment, the Robin realized that behind the little girl doll was a figure in a purple robe.

The Grand Duke Infernal Blaze's gaze swept over a woman dressed in leather, with fiery red hair and a lithe physique like a cheetah.

"Katrina, my bravest child, I ignite your heart and bestow upon you boiling blood. You shall use your fury to break open the treasury of the Preservation, melt down their gold, and create an image for our benefactor."

"Not much, old man," Katrina said nonchalantly.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze looked at the last woman, a voluptuous woman in a white evening gown and a white top hat.

"Finally, Constance, my most ambitious child, my finest child, I have nothing more to teach you. Just remember to take everything you love with you, leaving only the grave of Remembrance."

Before Constance could speak, Katrina said, "We don't need her, I can do it myself. Old man, I think you should leave your business to me. I'll take care of that little [The Hunt] fellow."

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze interrupted Katrina: "Katrina, confidence is something to be proud of, but meaningless destruction will surely be rejected by our lord. The arrows of the Hunt must be broken by me personally."

Constance said to the crowd, "It's better for everyone to be pessimistic. We may all die. Especially Father, who has to face Ji Yuan, who defeated several Lord of Destruction."

The white-haired youth Akash spoke as he played the cello, "Right now, he lacks a foundation and his strength doesn't yet reach the level of Emanator. Such a person is perfect to become Father's opponent. As for defeat and death, when have we ever cared?"

"That's right, now is the perfect time. I'll be here waiting for Ji Yuan to arrive."

The Robin watched nervously from the side, feeling a growing sense of worry for Ji Yuan.

At that moment, Constance walked up to her with a dessert in her hand.

"Come on, before the final outcome, have some dessert. No matter the outcome, you will never have these desserts again. If we win, you can never speak again; if we lose, no one will ever make these desserts again."

The Robin nodded slowly, then picked up a piece of dessert and ate it to calm its nerves.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is eat and hope that Ji Yuan can win later.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze and his children also stood here quietly, waiting for Ji Yuan's arrival.

As for the possibility that he wouldn't come, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze had never even considered it. His research on Ji Yuan proved that he was a rather emotional young man, prone to acting on impulse, and not easily deterred by difficulties. Now that he saw someone being kidnapped because of him, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze assured him that Ji Yuan would definitely come.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze quietly adjusted his condition, intending to be in peak condition when Ji Yuan arrived, so as to have a thorough and enjoyable battle with Ji Yuan.

Just then, a whooshing sound seemed to come from the air. Everyone present, even the Robin, could sense that someone was flying rapidly towards them.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze stood up and looked ahead. "Is Ji Yuan here so soon after I issued my challenge? He's really fast."

He even looked at the Robin.

"I wonder if that Mr. Ji Yuan likes you? He's so anxious about your affairs."

Hearing the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze's teasing, the Robin lowered her head shyly. However, deep down, she hesitated.

Ji Yuan likes him, and then rushes over quickly?

Doesn't he have a girlfriend?

The Robin's mind was immediately thrown into turmoil.

At this moment, the door to the mansion's main hall was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in.

The Robin was taken aback by the clatter of heels hitting the ground. It was the sound of a woman's boots hitting the floor.

The person who came was definitely not Ji Yuan.

The Robin looked over and saw the people who had appeared in the hall.

It's not Ji Yuan.

The Robin felt a pang of disappointment upon seeing that it wasn't Ji Yuan. However, after thinking about it, it realized that even if Ji Yuan had used all his strength to pilot the Star Skiff here, he wouldn't have arrived by now.

The aloof and beautiful young woman wore a purple trench coat adorned with lightning bolt patterns. In her left hand, she held a red paper umbrella decorated with Shuma Akane, while in her right hand, she wielded a massive purple katana. Her revealing top showcased her ample chest and slender waist. She wore leather shorts, which made her already shapely buttocks even more alluring.

Wearing a pair of leather boots, one long and one short, her legs were accentuated by their length. Robin, looking at those long, white legs, felt a strong urge to touch them.

The girl's long purple hair fell down, obscuring one eye, while her other eye was looking at Grand Duke Infernal Blaze was standing opposite her.

What's going on?! It's not Ji Yuan who came? We've seen him before; he's a handsome Xianzhou man with black hair. He couldn't possibly be this purple-haired woman in front of us.

What situation occurred?

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze looked at the purple-haired woman before him with great interest and asked:

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

The energy emanating from her body was terrifying, and the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze sensed immense danger. However, this danger also excited him.

This person is probably even stronger than Ji Yuan.

"[Sea Ranger] Yomikawa".

The purple-haired woman spoke to Grand Duke Minghuo.

"I came here when I heard that you were going to declare war on the [The Hunt]."

After saying this, she slowly drew the long sword from her hand.

The imposing aura emanating from the drawn sword initially startled Grand Duke Infernal Blaze, who then burst into laughter, thoroughly excited.

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze picked up his staff, which was engulfed in flames, and looked at Yomikawa, saying, "Yes, it seems you want to fight me? Perfect, you will be the first sacrifice I offer in my declaration of war against the [The Hunt].

"Um."

Yomikawa nodded, then drew his sword and charged towards Grand Duke Infernal Blaze Minghuo.

Flames erupted from the body of the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze. The entire Eternal Fire Manor burst into flames. The once magnificent and solemn hall was now shrouded in an aura of destruction and annihilation.

At the same time, he secretly made a gesture to his sons.

Now, retreat!

After making this gesture, the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze's staff clashed with the Yomikawa's longsword.

Cut!

Then--

Grand Duke Infernal Blaze was sent flying by Yomikawa' sword.

His body crashed directly into the pillars, breaking several of them in succession, and a large part of the hall of the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze Eternal Fire Manor collapsed as a result.

With just one move, Grand Duke Infernal Blaze was defeated.
