"You … Let me go! My … My cousin is the Medicine Sect's … true disciple!" Wanyan Shu said with difficulty as his neck turned red.
Ling Xiao sneered, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I'll pay them back tenfold. Wanyan Shu, I let you off for Gu Jiaojiao's sake, but now you've brought people here to take revenge. I can only vent my anger if I don't kill you."
"If you dare to kill him, you'll be the Medicine Sect's mortal enemy!" Huo Feng immediately roared when he sensed Ling Xiao's killing intent.
"If you can represent the Medicine Sect, then I don't care!" Ling Xiao said faintly as he exerted force from his palm.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard as Wanyan Shu's neck was immediately broken by Ling Xiao.
Silence!
Everyone present fell into silence as they looked at the lifeless Wanyan Shu in Ling Xiao's hands and gulped.
They never thought that Ling Xiao would be so courageous as to kill his cousin in front of Huo Feng, a true disciple of the Medicine Sect!
It should be known that no one dared to provoke the 18 great forces no matter where they went. Wanyan Shu was from a great family that was comparable to a fourth-rank aristocratic family and was inextricably linked to the Medicine Sect.
With these connections, no one thought that anyone would dare to kill Wanyan Shu other than the 18 great forces present.
However, the truth was right in front of them, so they had to believe it.
"How dare you! You've dared to humiliate me for so many years! Die!"
Huo Feng exploded with towering anger as his entire body was engulfed in a thick green flame. Wisps of green flames emerged from his body and eventually formed into ferocious green snakes.
Countless green snakes seemed to emerge from Huo Feng's body, and Huo Feng had turned into a snake king, looking incomparably terrifying.
The surrounding people were amazed when they saw this scene. They all knew that the Alchemist was very skilled in controlling fire, but they never thought that Huo Feng would be able to do this.
Ten Thousand Snake Bite!
Huo Feng roared as his body shook and a powerful aura locked onto Ling Xiao. Countless green snakes rushed towards Ling Xiao.
"Let's see how you dodge this time!"
After controlling all the green snakes, Huo Feng pounced towards Ling Xiao. At the same time, a pair of flaming palms shot out one mysterious palm silhouette after another.
Snake Palm!
Faced with two layers of attacks, Ling Xiao's expression turned cold. "I gave you face, but you don't want it. Don't blame me for being impolite!"
Ling Xiao didn't plan on backing down. He had to make Huo Feng realize the disparity between them. Otherwise, when would this fight end?
He had a plan in mind. His powerful aura suddenly rose up, and a terrifying blue flame instantly rose up. These flames didn't need to be controlled by Ling Xiao. They automatically swallowed the green snakes that were attacking him.
The Fourth Move of the Firmament Expelling Palm: Expelling Clouds and Overturning Seas!
Ling Xiao shouted and directly ignored the Green Snake Flame. This kind of Beast Flame could not cause any harm to him.
A powerful gust of wind collided with Huo Feng's snake-shaped palm.
Bang!
The two of them continued to bombard each other. Palm shadows that blotted out the sky and covered the earth collided with each other in mid-air. Streams of flames incessantly surged, and a series of muffled collision sounds rang out in mid-air. The surrounding people had no choice but to retreat far away.
"How can the palm strength of a middle-stage Earth Emperor be so strong?"
Huo Feng revealed a dignified expression and thought. Now that he had used ten percent of his strength, he was confident that he could blast Ling Xiao down. However, his opponent's spiritual energy seemed endless. Not only was it strong, but it also faintly suppressed him. Both of his palms were shaken to the point of numbness.
What he didn't know was that Ling Xiao was only using fifty percent of his strength. He didn't want to reveal his true strength. Otherwise, no one would come to rob him inside.
If others knew Ling Xiao's thoughts, they would probably vomit blood in anger.
He actually wanted to wait for someone to rob him. Was his brain fried?
Those who were familiar with Ling Xiao naturally knew what he was planning.
"Bastard, you forced me to do this!" Huo Feng gradually felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. He gritted his teeth and finally prepared to use his strongest attack.
Huo Feng's palm pushed Ling Xiao back dozens of meters. A ball of green flames rose once again, and Huo Feng's clothes were directly torn apart. His naked body gradually became covered in green fire scales, and even his eyes turned green. A power comparable to a Demi Venerable shook the surroundings.
The expressions of the surrounding emperors changed greatly. They suddenly felt that Huo Feng's strength was increasing by several times. This strength had far exceeded the scope of their imagination.
"What a terrifying aura. It's even more terrifying than a Demi Venerable. It's already infinitely close to the power of a Heavenly Venerable."
"The true disciple of the Medicine Gate truly lives up to his name. I'm afraid that this is the end for Ling Xiao."
"That's hard to say. Before, Ling Xiao only used the metal element, but now he actually used the fire element. He must have his own trump card. I'm sure that we won't know who will emerge victorious until the very end."
"However, it's not easy to force a Medicine Gate disciple to this extent with the strength of a mid-level Earth Emperor!"
… …
"Huo Feng is actually being forced into such a difficult situation. That mid-level Earth Emperor is quite capable," Huo Hao of the Medicine Gate commented as he watched the two fight.
"Huo Feng is very annoying. The principle of the sect is to prevent us from fighting with others, but he always uses the name of the Medicine Gate to show off. It's as if he's afraid that others don't know that he's from the Medicine Gate. If he loses, our Medicine Gate's reputation will be tarnished," Huo Hao said with a shrug.
"There's nothing surprising about this. If he wasn't a direct descendant of the Third Elder, he would have been kicked out of the Medicine Gate long ago. This time, I didn't agree with bringing him here, but since the Third Elder has stepped in, it's not good for him to lose face," Huo Xiang Ming said with a frown.
"Forget it. If he really loses, I'll definitely report the truth when I return to the sect. He'll naturally be punished when he returns," Huo Xiang Ming said.
In midair, the green flames were constantly surging. Huo Feng had already turned into a green flaming man. His appearance had become extremely malevolent, and his aura had reached its peak.
"Heh, your strength isn't bad. You're actually close to a Heavenly Venerable, but that's still not enough!"
Ling Xiao sneered. He did not choose to take advantage of this opportunity to attack. Instead, he wanted to wait for Huo Feng's true strength to arrive. He wanted to see just how capable this true disciple of the Medicine Gate was.
"Bastard, you should be proud that you can die under the Fiery Beast Transformation Art!" Huo Feng seemed to have transformed into a spirit beast, and his voice had become hoarse.
Then, he slowly raised his palm, and a giant hand covered in green scales instantly grabbed at Ling Xiao.
This giant hand with green scales was like the claw of a giant beast. It was extremely fast and very fierce, and wisps of green flames constantly overflowed from it.
Ling Xiao did not even think about it and immediately dodged it.
Huo Feng's face flashed a cold smile, and he quickly raised his other hand. Another giant hand fiercely grabbed at Ling Xiao. This giant hand was the real deal.
Ling Xiao was like a monkey being firmly grabbed by a giant beast, and it was difficult for him to struggle free. The green flames incessantly burned Ling Xiao.
If it had been an ordinary Earthly Sovereign, they would have been quickly burned to death by this intense and high temperature.
However, Ling Xiao was almost immune to flames other than the Heavenly Fire. These green flames could not harm Ling Xiao's body at all.
"Haha, my strength is comparable to that of a Heavenly Venerable Rank cultivator. No one under the Earthly Sovereign Rank can escape. Die!"
Huo Feng revealed a ferocious smile, and his other hand turned into a giant fist that slammed heavily towards Ling Xiao's head.
The power of the fiery fist was comparable to an attack from a low-level Heavenly Venerable Rank cultivator. The raging flames caused the surrounding Earthly Sovereigns to cry out involuntarily. Their faces were filled with fear, and they all thought to themselves, "The disciples of the Medicine School are truly terrifying!"
"Do you think you can trap me with a mere beast fire?
How naive! "
Just as the fiery fist was about to land on Ling Xiao's head, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with disdain. At the same time, blue flames quietly overflowed from his body, and the giant green hand that was trapping him was gradually devoured by the blue flames.
"What kind of fire is this blue flame? Could it be Earthly Fire?" Huo Feng also sensed the blue flames coming from Ling Xiao, and a look of extreme greed appeared on his face.
To any alchemist, a high-grade flame was a treasure that they could only dream of obtaining.
As a disciple of the Medicine School, Huo Feng naturally desired to obtain a higher-grade flame. The blue flames that Ling Xiao had displayed were clearly of a higher grade than his own beast fire, so it would be strange if he did not covet them.
"I can't let this kid leave alive!" Huo Feng made up his mind, and a green flaming sword immediately appeared in his hand.
Just as Ling Xiao broke free from the giant hand's trapping hold, the fiery fist was already upon him.
Ling Xiao raised his palm, and a powerful blue flame directly pierced through the fiery fist.
Swish!
Just as Ling Xiao was temporarily out of danger, a wave of tyrannical sword energy flooded towards him.
Even with the protection of the Five-colored Dragon Scale Armor, the powerful sword energy was extremely painful to deal with.
"A high-grade spirit weapon!" Ling Xiao exclaimed in his heart, and his figure began to retreat at full speed.
Sword Devouring Astral Energy!
Huo Feng swore to kill Ling Xiao no matter what. Streaks of green sword energy constantly pursued Ling Xiao with a terrifying sword energy.
The sword energy constantly exploded in mid-air, and the terrifying destructive power shocked everyone present.
"Dammit, don't blame me if you're courting death!" Ling Xiao was furious. He had repeatedly retreated, but unexpectedly, this guy did not know what was good for him.
Ling Xiao's body was filled with a powerful aura, and his figure was like a ghost, leaving a series of afterimages in mid-air. The afterimages were so fast that it was dazzling to the eyes.
Huo Feng's eyelids twitched. Wave after wave of powerful sword energy continuously destroyed the afterimages, but he was unable to capture Ling Xiao's real body.
"I can only summon my spiritual beast!"
Huo Feng knew that it would be difficult for him to harm Ling Xiao with his own strength, so he prepared to summon his protective spiritual beast.
However, a powerful golden fist had already landed heavily on his back.
Bang bang!
"Who asked you to be so arrogant? This young master will beat you until even your mother can't recognize you!" Ling Xiao was not afraid of losing. His entire body was like a goshawk pouncing on a rabbit, and a series of afterimages of his fists bombarded Huo Feng's face that deserved a beating.
