บท 51: Chapter 51: Chaotic Battle!
Mo Ya's voice, enveloped in Dou Qi, echoed throughout the valley, making many people in the dark feel uneasy.
They anxiously eyed the Yao Clan's three brothers. If the three of them agreed to Mo Ya's terms, things would get complicated. The Black Emperor Sect had the power of a Dou Sect as their backing, and even the Golden and Silver Elders would have to show some respect.
The three Yao brothers were indeed somewhat moved, but they quickly sobered up. Others might not know what they had, but they certainly did. They had no Heavenly Flame at all; it was just a ploy. If they joined the Black Emperor Sect now and the truth was discovered, they would be torn apart. Making enemies of both the Jia Nan Academy and the Black Emperor Sect would surely spell their doom.
Hearing Mo Ya's promise, the Golden and Silver Elders' faces also turned sour. The thought of the prize slipping from their grasp made them restless.
"Big brother, what should we do?" With years of tacit understanding, just a glance was enough for the two of them to know what the other was thinking. In that brief moment, they reached a consensus.
"Take action—"
With a loud shout, two figures, one gold and one silver, instantly flashed in front of the Yao brothers, who had no time to react.
Giving a sinister smile, their burned faces made the grin seem eerie and terrifying. Immediately, the two clenched their fists, and a powerful light green Dou Qi shot out.
"Thousand Leaf Palm!"
"Second brother, third brother!"
Facing the sudden attack by the Golden and Silver Elders, the Yao brothers reacted swiftly, each unleashing a palm strike.
"Bang—"
"Damn it, Golden and Silver Elders, do you not put my Black Emperor Sect in your eyes?!"
Seeing the Yao brothers severely injured by the sneak attack, Mo Ya's face turned dark. The aura of over a dozen Dou Kings behind him burst out, targeting the Golden and Silver Elders.
"Heh—" Facing Mo Ya's threat, the Golden and Silver Elders stopped, snickering. "It would make more sense if your father said that. As for you..."
"Heh heh—"
After seemingly teaching the young master of the Black Emperor Sect a lesson, the Golden and Silver Elders dashed toward the critically injured Yao brothers.
"Well, well!" Mo Ya trembled with rage at the mockery of the Golden and Silver Elders, his face darkening as he let out a cold laugh.
"Young master," seeing Mo Ya's cruel expression, the familiar Qi Shan spoke up, knowing that Mo Ya was on the verge of an outburst. Given the circumstances, it was best not to rush in headfirst.
Certain to say, Qi Shan was a qualified guest official, having restrained the urge for the Heavenly Flame and considering things from the Black Emperor Sect's perspective.
"All men, heed my order. I want the Golden and Silver Elders to know the cost of underestimating us!"
But Mo Ya, consumed by rage, couldn't listen to reason.
"Yes—"
A chorus of loud responses echoed.
"Boom—" The combined power of over ten Dou Kings was formidable. Numerous powerful Dou Techniques rained down on the Golden and Silver Elders.
"You guys... sigh—" Qi Shan sighed as he looked at the Black Emperor Sect members charging forward and then followed by flaring his Dou Qi wings.
"You impudent kids!" From a distance, the injured Golden and Silver Elder looked at the incoming attacks and the surrounding Dou Kings with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"
"Boom—" The battle heightened further. The Golden and Silver Elders, worthy of being strong contenders on the blacklist, each alone could hold off the Black Emperor Sect's members.
Seeing the second brother safe, the leader of the Golden and Silver Elders, spotting the feeble Yao brothers, let out a cold grin. "Now, let's see who comes to save you."
"Big brother, what do we do? It seems the Magic Flame Valley has really become a coward?" The Yao brothers, exhausted from the effects of the Wild Blood Pill, were weak. Supporting the critically injured eldest brother, they urgently called for a solution.
Yao Da, seeing his anxious brothers, forced himself to remain calm. Everyone else could panic, but he, as the eldest, must not. He had to find a glimmer of hope for them.
Suddenly, Yao Da's eyes brightened, and he turned sharply, shouting toward the Magic Flame Valley, "The Heavenly Flame is here! Please, Lord of the Magic Flame Valley, have mercy and save us!"
Simultaneously, a fiery red furnace was thrown towards the Magic Flame Valley.
With a clang, all eyes turned to the object Yao Da had thrown.
It was a fiery red pot, with an almost invisible flame burning within and a fire python coiled around it.
Upon seeing the flame, everyone felt a strange surge within them.
"Damn it, what is this—"
"Ah—, why is there a flame in my body?"
"So hot, so hot! I'm going to burn to death!"
With the Fallen Heart Flame's appearance, everyone felt an unbearable agony, discovering a flame burning within their bodies, causing excruciating pain in their meridians, bones, and muscles.
"What kind of flame is this?" The Golden and Silver Elders were also horrified, channeling Dou Qi to suppress the internal flame.
"Get out, get out!"
"This is... the Fallen Heart Flame!" Unlike others, Qi Shan recognized the flame's origin, exclaiming in shock.
"Ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame list, known as the cultivation cheat — the Fallen Heart Flame!"
Everyone heard Qi Shan's words, and their eyes greedily fixed on the Fallen Heart Flame.
After a brief moment of calm, a more intense scramble began. Though they might not understand the Heavenly Flame, the term 'cultivation cheat' was clear enough!
All of them suppressed their pain and rushed towards the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Damn it, the Fallen Heart Flame is mine!"
"Young master, help me seize this flame!"
"Everyone, move together!"
...
The highest-ranked Dou Emperors all made their moves in a chaotic melee.
"Big brother, I'll hold them off. Go get the flame!"
One held off the crowd, while the other dashed towards the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Damn—"
Seeing the figure about to grasp the Fallen Heart Flame, those held up by the Silver Elder erupted in anger.
"It's mine!" The Golden Elder, eyes blazing, reached for the flame, dreaming of breaking through to the Dou Sect.
"Hehe—"
"Esteemed guests, today our Magic Flame Valley is truly lively!"
Just as the Golden Elder was about to grasp the furnace, a withered hand emerged, grey flames burning in the palm, striking toward the golden figure.
In the eyes of all, the people of Magic Flame Valley finally appeared. At the forefront was the Grand Elder Fang Yan, along with the Second and Third Elders, who were almost always by his side.
"Fang Yan—"
The Golden and Silver Elders glared at Fang Yan, and facing his fierce strike to the forehead, the Golden Elder had to relinquish the Fallen Heart Flame, countering with his own strike.
"Bang—"
Their palms collided, sending subterranean thunderous echoes reverberating.
"Fang Yan, what's the meaning of this?" The Silver Elder, seeing his brother about to be surrounded, abandoned the Black Emperor Sect, rushing to his brother's side. Together, they stood, ready to confront the Magic Flame Valley.
Simultaneously, the Black Emperor Sect and other forces also moved closer.
"Hehe, what do you think? Since the Heavenly Flame is in our Magic Flame Valley, it is destined to be ours. You should give up!" Fang Yan sneered, his eyes cold as he glanced at the surrounding people. He too was a fire element expert, a half-step Dou Sect. If he obtained the Heavenly Flame, he could break through to the Dou Sect, significantly enhancing his power and prolonging his life, which was crucial given his age.
Thus, he had no intention of relinquishing the flame.
"Heh—"
"Magic Flame Valley sure is domineering. The Heavenly Flame is a treasure of heaven and earth, belonging to those fated. I, Han, believe we should abide by the rules of the Black-Corner Region!" A gentle laugh echoed as the clear sky suddenly rippled. A figure appeared, gradually advancing until it hovered in the sky, exuding a terrifying aura surpassing everyone present. Most notably, he had no Dou Qi wings but stepped through the void, approaching step by step.
"Han Feng!"
Seeing the newcomer, everyone's expressions changed, especially the Golden and Silver Elders, who looked especially displeased.
Han Feng's name carried weight in the Black-Corner Region, having broken through to the Dou Sect a year prior and advanced to a seventh-tier alchemist. In that year, Feng City had grown rapidly, almost claiming the title of the top power in the Black-Corner Region.
"Han Feng, you already possess a Heavenly Flame. Why seek a second?" This question arose in the minds of everyone present. It was common knowledge that fire element experts could only absorb one Heavenly Flame; why would Han Feng risk backlash to gain another?
"Han Feng, you already have a flame. People have never been able to absorb two flames; don't doom yourself," Fang Yan dismissed the power of Feng City, having his ancestors to rely on. This flame represented his chance to break through, and he wouldn't give up easily.
"That's none of your concern, Grand Elder." Han Feng retracted his burning gaze from the flame. Though it gave him an odd feeling, it was undeniably a Heavenly Flame. He wouldn't give it up.
Shifting his gaze, Han Feng addressed the sour-faced Golden and Silver Elders, "This is a Breaking Sect Pill. I intended to give two to you both but was too preoccupied. Now, it seems timely. Please, don't resent me."
When contending for the Bodhi Transforming Saliva, Han Feng promised the two elders two Breaking Sect Pills. However, due to circumstances, he only managed to deliver one. After breaking through to the Dou Sect, he was busy repaying debts, as he promised many pills.
For a year, he was either refining pills or gathering ingredients, often considering more sinister ways to avoid repaying his debts. The pill for the Golden and Silver Elders was a sixth-tier peak pill, challenging to refine with rare ingredients, and he only had two. Still, Han Feng couldn't afford to give it immediately, as two heart-linked Dou Sects posed a significant threat. Now, it seemed he'd have to give it up.
Seeing the jade bottle thrown by Han Feng, the Golden and Silver Elders' expressions shifted, thrilled as they hurriedly caught the bottle. Inside, they saw a pill the size of a dragon's eye, their expressions lighting up with excitement.
Storing the pill, the Golden and Silver Elders grinned, "Master Han, you're too serious. Everyone knows your reputation. A few days' delay is no big deal."
Even if Han Feng purposely delayed their reward, the elders had to accept it with a smile. Such was the Black-Corner Region's reality and the weight of a seventh-tier alchemist.
However, Fang Yan and others weren't pleased, watching the Golden and Silver Elders implicitly stand behind Han Feng.
Now in great spirits, Han Feng calmly addressed the crowd, "If anyone wishes to contest, weigh the consequences." His eyes half-closed, scanning the crowd, his demeanor exuding dominance.
Seeing no one move, he chuckled, a light blue flame resembling clear lake water forming a rope that moved towards the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Attack—"
Someone's shout broke the peace, with myriad dazzling Dou Techniques storming Han Feng.
"Rumble—"
In the end, Han Feng emerged victorious from the chaotic battle, utilizing his flame to contend with a three-star Dou Sect. Combined with the resilient Golden and Silver Elders, he faced no opposition.
"Brother, what do we do?" The Second Elder of Magic Flame Valley questioned Fang Yan.
Observing the burn on his palm, Fang Yan's eyes flashed ruthlessly. "Go, wake the elder. We can't let Han Feng obtain a second flame," he decided coldly.
Initially, Fang Yan hesitated to awaken the Medusa Patriarch during his closed-door training, fearing losing the flame. However, with Han Feng continually thwarting him, he resolved that neither would get what he couldn't.
