Great Blaze Heaven Piercer

"How?"

Bibi Dong had just finished bathing and was wearing a pink nightgown. She sat upright in front of her dressing table, hesitated slightly, picked up a lip pencil, dipped it in the bright red lip rouge in the box, and began to draw her lips. As she did so, she pursed her sexy, round lips and asked Hu Liena, who was standing at the door.

"Ghost Elder has sent word that Huo Wu and the other two have entered the Balak Kingdom and are very close to the ruins of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan."

How could Huo Wu and her two companions possibly sneak out of Spirit City, a place teeming with experts? It was all Bibi Dong, with Hu Liena deliberately revealing this to Huo Wu.

Hu Liena's face flushed slightly as she glanced at her teacher's delicate body, partially veiled by a thin gauze. The outline of her beautiful back was vaguely visible through the pink nightgown. Now, having shed her Pope attire, she resembled a mature, alluring young woman. Just a glimpse of her back and a casual remark were enough to make Hu Liena feel somewhat overwhelmed. Her teacher was truly a peerless beauty, even more captivating than herself, Holy Maiden Charm in seduction.

"That stubborn, silly girl Huo Wu, she can be moved to travel thousands of miles to investigate just by saying a few words. That little guy Yu Tianshuang is really lucky to have such a good girl fall for him. And you, you too, you are supposed to be the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall, sharing a man with other women, and you're so willing?"

Although the years of interaction had sometimes given Bibi Dong some ridiculous thoughts, she actually respected Yu Tianshuang quite a bit. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so indulgent towards him, even though he had never called her "Your His Holiness the Pope" without any resentment. However, she would never say such things in front of her student.

"Teacher, I... But since you've already sent Ghost Elder along, why not let us go too? There's nothing much going on lately, just cultivation, cultivation, cultivation. Although I hinted to Huo Wu to bring Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing along, besides being a little smarter than Huo Wu, they're both equally quiet and introverted. Plus, their cultivation levels... on the surface, Flender's strength is that of Soul Douluo..."

Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, wanting to explain something, but the clever girl quickly realized that her teacher didn't mean she wanted to hear her explanation or praise Yu Tianshuang; she just felt sorry for her. However, she knew in her heart that Yu Tianshuang was actually very lucky and happy...

But then she thought about Huo Wu Wu's personality and the strength of the other two. Although there would be no accidents with Ghost Elder following them, Ghost Elder would only take action as a last resort. With Huo Wu's volatile personality, she really felt that Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing, these two taciturn women, could not control her.

"Nana, it seems you know too little about your sisters' strength. It's my fault, too. Huo Wu is simple-minded and doesn't have as many thoughts as we do, and the same goes for her cultivation. If you ask me, among the younger generation of our Spirit Hall, apart from that Little Monster, she is the strongest. I kept you here so that you could have more time to cultivate and not fall too far behind others."

Meanwhile, the three people far away on the border of the Balak Kingdom were unaware of all this. Zhu Zhuqing put down Ye Lingling, whom she was carrying, and after exchanging a glance with her, they both swallowed hard and gasped for breath. Their big eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

Even though Flender and Ma Hongjun can both fly, they are still vulnerable to being burned by the massive, towering pillars of fire rising from the ground, even if they are not directly hit. Just a graze or a close approach would result in them being burned by the flames of the Ultimate Fire, which are unleashed at full power in their Ring Fusion state.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? I am also Ultimate Fire! This wretched woman, what right does she have? What right does she have to burn me? What right does she have?"

Ma Hongjun originally thought that after his Martial Soul evolved again, he would be the strongest on this continent in terms of the quality of his flames. However, today, Huo Wu's completely blazing white flames made him deeply aware of the gap. He could only be exempt from a small part of these flames. This crushing defeat instantly shattered his previously overflowing confidence.

"Hey, you two are quite agile flying around. Well then, let me show you what a real fiery zone is like! Great Blaze Heaven Piercer, appear!"

Huo Wu watched the two dart back and forth like nimble birds between her attacks, unhurried. A wicked smile played on her lips as she watched with interest for a while longer before slowly speaking. Then, with the final word "Appear," heavily uttered, the ground, which had been continuously spewing forth huge pillars of fire, suddenly fell silent. But like the calm before a storm, cracks began to appear in the ground, and from these cracks, one could vaguely see blazing white flames about to erupt forth.

"Run! No, it's too late! Fly upwards, as high as you can! Go, all your might!!!"

Ma Hongjun remained in place, waiting for Huo Wu's next attack. However, Flender, as expected of Soul Douluo who had lived for so many years, quickly realized what was happening and immediately mustered all his Soul Power to fly upwards, shouting urgently at Ma Hongjun.

"Isn't this... a bit too much..."

Ye Lingling stared in disbelief as she looked at the enormous pillar of fire that suddenly appeared in front of her, a hundred meters in diameter, and a phantom-like figure resembling a fire demon emerging from its center.

"It's... not bad..."

Zhu Zhuqing was deeply impressed and shocked by the exaggeratedly large attack range. However, having witnessed such a massive attack before, compared to Yu Tianshuang's single sword strike that slayed ten thousand soldiers on the border of the Star Luo Empire, Huo Wu's hundred-meter-long pillar of Huo Wu was nothing...

"Oh no, oh no, are those two dead? Did I really roast them to a crisp? I just wanted to show off in front of Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing, and maybe help Zhu Zhuqing revenge. I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. What am I going to do? If I can't get any information, all this trip will have been for nothing..."

Huo Wu looked down at the ground, which had completely turned into a lava field, and was very satisfied. However, just after she deactivated her Martial Soul Avatar and Scorching Flame Clone, she saw two humanoid figures lying in the orange-yellow lava, their fate unknown. This immediately made her panic.

"Ah... it's so hot..."

Zhu Zhuqing, carrying Ye Lingling, flashed to Huo Wu's side. She was about to say something, but as soon as she landed, the soles of her shoes burst into flames. She quickly covered her feet with her Soul Power, then told Ye Lingling a few words before putting her down. She glanced at Huo Wu, who looked flustered and Huo Wu, and walked to Flender, who was closest to her. She reached out her finger to check his breathing.

"Click..."

However, even the slightest breeze caused by extending a finger directly turned the charred body into black powder, scattering it all over the ground, and then being dispersed by the "hot wind" that blew it away.

"You... you..."

In fact, when Ye Lingling was carried by Zhu Zhuqing, she sensed it. As the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, she was very sensitive to the breath of life. She could only turn around and give Huo Wu, who was standing there at a loss, a reproachful look. Then she summoned her Martial Soul and released a green healing light screen towards another humanoid charred body not far away.

"Cough cough..."

Although Ma Hongjun's Soul Power Level was lower than Flender's, he was also a fire-attribute Soul Master and possessed the Ultimate Fire. He was immune to many of Huo Wu's attacks, but even so, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Now, thanks to Ye Lingling's treatment, he has been spared.

"Tell me... what is the secret technique of your Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan? Did Qian Xunji obtain it? Do you know what happened twenty years ago? Where are Yu Tianshuang and Ye Lingling's parents? And..."

Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the key figure, Ma Hongjun, was still alive. She then stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and asked a series of questions. However, Ma Hongjun, who had just regained consciousness, was completely bewildered. Ye Lingling raised her hand to stop her and then gestured for them to move to another place, as the temperature here was too high and making her very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough... Is the teacher... dead?"

Zhu Zhuqing carried Ma Hongjun to a nearby forest and casually threw him to the ground. Ma Hongjun, who had only received some treatment, coughed up blood again as he hit the ground. He then asked a question with a dejected expression, but his tone was more like a confirmation than a question.

Seeing his distraught state, Huo Wu and Zhu Zhuqing felt a pang of pity. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who usually disliked him, opened her mouth but didn't say anything. It was Ye Lingling who stepped forward, hummed in agreement, and then spoke:

"Now tell us everything you know."

Huo Wu glanced at Ye Lingling with some surprise. In her heart, Ye Lingling was always a gentle presence, always standing silently behind everyone. When you looked at her, you would always receive a warm smile. But today, Ye Lingling's performance made Huo Wu realize that Ye Lingling was actually very strong and decisive.

"Teacher... On the way he brought me here, he told me everything he knew. I also learned that I am a descendant of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan of the Lower Three Sects. Twenty years ago... I don't know if I obtained it or not, but I did obtain a secret technique at the altar. That's all I really don't know..."

In fact, Yu Tianshuang had already learned this information from Qian Renxue, but given the relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, they certainly didn't know. Yu Tianshuang left in a hurry, which is why Bibi Dong secretly had Hu Liena tell Huo Wu after learning that Flender had taken Ma Hongjun to the ruins of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan. Firstly, she genuinely liked this simple-minded and passionate girl, and secondly, Yu Tianshuang had been with the Spirit Hall for so long and had contributed so much, yet she had never fulfilled her promise to him. That's why she had Gui Mei accompany Huo Wu and the others to prevent any Huo Wu.

"Lingling... are you alright?"

Actually, the three of them already understood halfway through Ma Hongjun's sentence that Yu Tianshuang and Ye Lingling's parents must have died twenty years ago. However, when the two women saw that Ye Lingling seemed to have no change in expression, they became even more worried. Huo Wu stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and gently spoke.

"It's alright, just a little disappointed. Now that we know all this, we've achieved our goal of coming out here. There's no point in keeping him alive, let's kill him..."

Ye Lingling Ye Lingling shook her head. In fact, like Yu Tianshuang, she had never met her parents since childhood and had always lived with her grandparents. That's why when she met him when she was so young, she felt so warm, knowing that there was still someone in the world she cared about. She didn't really care about her parents because she didn't have any feelings for them. What she really wanted was very simple: to be with Yu Tianshuang forever. But her experiences over the past few years had made her understand a lot, which is why she had become so decisive.

"Ah... I... Zhu Zhuqing, you, you come..."

To be honest, despite Huo Wu's usual boastful remarks about turning people into charcoal, that was the first time she had actually killed someone. Although it wasn't intentional, she still felt terrible. She genuinely didn't want to kill Flender. So when Ye Lingling said those words expressionlessly, she didn't dare to make a move and stammered, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing.

"No, please, please let me go! Didn't I just tell you everything? The secret technique... Oh, right, I also have the secret technique of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan. This technique is very powerful. I'll give it to you. Please, please let me go, just pretend I let it go, okay? By the way, Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling, we are both successors of the Lower Three Sects. Didn't we say we would stay together and watch over each other? You, you were just joking, right?"

Upon hearing Ye Lingling's words, Ma Hongjun was terrified. He endured the excruciating pain all over his body and scrambled over, tears and snot streaming down his face. He tried to grab Huo Wu's leg, who was closest to him, but Huo Wu dodged him with a look of disgust. He then turned his gaze to Ye Lingling, crying and begging for mercy. As he spoke, a yellow stain flowed from between his legs.

"If you still consider yourself a descendant of the Lower Three Sects, then save some face for yourself and your Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan. This is too embarrassing. Let's make our move, Zhu Zhuqing..."

The Gui Mei, hidden in the shadows of a tree, saw Zhu Zhuqing below unleash a black claw that killed Ma Hongjun. It then gave Ye Lingling a deep look before disappearing in a wisp of black smoke.

"I really underestimated Ye Lingling. I originally thought she was just a healer who would hide behind others to provide support, but I didn't expect her to be so decisive, doing things without hesitation or leaving any loose ends. Yu Tianshuang, you're truly blessed..."

On the way back to Spirit City, Huo Wu kept glancing at Ye Lingling, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. After Zhu Zhuqing killed Ma Hongjun, she felt a deep fear of Ye Lingling. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive along the way. The two of them were not talkative to begin with, and on the way here, she had been talking like a chatterbox. Now that she was silent, the atmosphere became even more strange.

"What's wrong? You seemed so talkative on the way here. Why haven't you said a word the whole way? Are you feeling unwell after your first murder? Do you want me to help you calm down? By the way, you can ask Zhu Zhuqing for advice; she's very experienced..."

Seemingly noticing something, Ye Lingling raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and spoke with a gentle smile.

"I... I didn't, I just feel that Lingling, you've changed so much, I... I'm a little scared..."

In fact, five years have passed, and everyone has changed a lot, whether it's Yu Tianshuang herself or Shui Bing'er and the others. It seems that the only ones who haven't changed much are her and Shui Yue'er...

"Thump... thump..."

Ma Hongjun, whose neck had been slashed by Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws, was bleeding profusely, his blood seeping deep into the ground. At this moment, his heart, which had stopped beating, began to slowly resume beating, each beat like a drumbeat. His body was gradually covered with a layer of flames, slowly enveloping him in an oval shape.
