Chapter 2449 - 2438: Found Out! Courting Death!
Heading deeper into the Holy Fire Mountains.The surrounding temperature quickly climbed upward.
Luckily, the Green Flame in Ye Chenfeng’s dantian had risen to the Peak of the Divine King Realm, emitting a layer of protection that blocked much of the surrounding heat, making it significantly easier for him.
Now the temperature of the Green Flame had reached the Peak of the Divine King Realm, transitioning from the Peak of the Divine King Realm to the Early Divine Venerable Realm became even more difficult. Absorbing Heaven and Earth Flames with temperatures lower than its own, to reach the temperature of the Early Divine Venerable Realm, would require absorbing a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Flames.
Moreover, the souls of the Holy Fire Sect people within those reddish stone pillars had likely succeeded in possessing bodies, and he would inevitably face these possessed sect members later.
Currently, Ye Chenfeng’s power was at the late stage of the Divine King Realm, while the temperature of the Green Flame was at its peak; even if they combined forces, their combat strength was limited. Who knew what else the Holy Fire Sect people had arranged here?
Now, Ye Chenfeng could only take things one step at a time.
Ye Chenfeng’s figure continued to move deeper into the Holy Fire Mountains, when suddenly a blue Heaven and Earth Flame at the peak of the Seventh Layer Heavenly God Realm rapidly surged from the right.
Following closely behind this blue flame was a human figure; Ye Chenfeng quickly recognized this figure as none other than the Medicine Saint Hall’s ancestor, Chang Baiwu.
Ye Chenfeng extended his hand.
The blue Heaven and Earth Flame was immediately grasped in his palm, then directly absorbed into his dantian, allowing the Green Flame to continue its devouring. Although Heaven and Earth Flames at the initial stage of the Divine King Realm were not very useful to the Green Flame, even the meat of a mosquito was meat, and should not be overlooked.
Chang Baiwu, closely following the blue Heaven and Earth Flame, paused abruptly upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, his face looking extremely unpleasant, especially sensing the late-stage Divine King Realm strength emanating from Ye Chenfeng.
After severing one of He Yuantian’s clones, Ye Chenfeng had stopped restraining his aura.
In the Hall of Mutual Slaughter.
Chang Baiwu had witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s combat prowess; at that time, Ye Chenfeng was only at the mid Divine King Realm but could slay a Ghost Venerable at the early Divine Venerable Realm.
Now, Ye Chenfeng’s strength had somehow reached the late Divine King Realm, in such a short time? This was simply unbelievable. Wasn’t it supposed to be exceedingly difficult for anyone in the Divine King Realm to advance even a single step? Or had Ye Chenfeng always been concealing his true strength?
Chang Baiwu himself was only at the Early Divine Venerate Realm; his combat strength might not even surpass that of Ghost Venerable by much. Facing Ye Chenfeng now, his chances of victory were negligible, perhaps even zero.
After the Green Flame finished devouring the blue Heaven and Earth Flame, it emerged from Ye Chenfeng’s palm, unrestrained by Ye Chenfeng this time.
Chang Baiwu saw the four-colored flame in Ye Chenfeng’s palm, which was at the Peak of the Divine King Realm; his eyes momentarily paused, filled with greed. A friendly smile appeared on his face: "Young friend, I apologize deeply for the previous incident. Please forgive me this once."
"You should understand my feelings, my disciple died at your hands, naturally I harbored resentment towards you, but now I’ve come to terms with it. Furthermore, you still need me to guide you to the Wus’ location, and with the highest orders of the Wus, I absolutely wouldn’t dare to harm you."
Ye Chenfeng nodded noncommittally to Chang Baiwu’s words, holding the Qingyun Sword in his hand: "After we leave here, you can lead me to the Wus’ location."
Chang Baiwu promptly said: "Of course, I will definitely lead you to the Wus.’
Ye Chenfeng turned his back to Chang Baiwu, saying: "Then, let us explore here together for a while."
Chang Baiwu smiled and said: "Very well, I will help you find more Heaven and Earth Flames."
Observing Ye Chenfeng with his back turned, Chang Baiwu’s eyes flickered with a dark hue; though his words were gentle, his eyes were laden with murderous intent.
Step by step, he approached.
Suddenly.
A sharp dagger appeared in Chang Baiwu’s hand, its cold glow glistening; it was at least a half-step Immortal Artifact.
Pouring all his spiritual energy into the dagger.
Directly aiming for Ye Chenfeng’s back, as if to pierce his heart clean through.
Just as the dagger was about to strike Ye Chenfeng.
"Clang!"
Ye Chenfeng casually blocked his back with the Qingyun Sword; the dagger clashed against the sword blade, sparking fire.
Ye Chenfeng calmly turned around: "What? Weren’t you just saying you were going to help me find Heaven and Earth Flames? And now you’ve changed your mind just like that?"
Chang Baiwu’s face dramatically shifted: "You, you knew all along I would attack you? You’ve been waiting? You cunning little brat."
Ye Chenfeng smiled slightly: "Cunning? Who was it that tried to sneak attack me from behind? I did give you a chance, why didn’t you cherish it? Initially, considering the Wus’ favor, I truly wanted to spare your wretched life, but you just couldn’t be content."
Ye Chenfeng deliberately exposed the Green Flame.
Deliberately left his back vulnerable to Chang Baiwu.
The purpose was to provoke Chang Baiwu into attacking, in his mind, Chang Baiwu was already dead.
However, he didn’t intend to kill Chang Baiwu outright; instead, he chose to toy with him first.
Ye Chenfeng swung his arm holding the Qingyun Sword.
Chang Baiwu’s dagger slipped from his grip, flying toward the sky.
"Tell me the exact location of the Wus; this way, I can make your death swift," Ye Chenfeng said, expressionless.
The Early Divine Venerate Realm aura in Chang Baiwu surged; he wished to flee, but with Ye Chenfeng’s current late Divine King Realm strength, even though Chang Baiwu was at the early Divine Venerate Realm, he was much weaker than the previously encountered half-step Divine Venerable, the white-robed youth He Yuantian.
In a mere instant.
Ye Chenfeng blocked Chang Baiwu’s path: "No need to leave so eagerly; let me see you off."
"You’ve entirely pursued death on your own; had you not attacked me earlier, perhaps I would have spared your life."
The Qingyun Sword in his hand swung out.
Chang Baiwu panicked; after all, he had witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s combat prowess before, and he even forgot to counter.
This made Ye Chenfeng’s task all the easier.
With one stroke.
Chang Baiwu was cleaved in half from the waist, and before he died.
Ye Chenfeng placed his hand on Chang Baiwu’s forehead, conducting a Soul Search, quickly gleaning the precise location of the Wus from Chang Baiwu’s memory.
Then, he threw Chang Baiwu’s corpse to the ground; for such a person, Ye Chenfeng felt not the slightest bit of pity.
