Chapter 2005: 2005
Huozhu Chi stared ahead into the black fog, his expression changing . He had just been mocking Qingfeng Li, but now, there was a mass of black fog headed their way .
If this was just some ordinary black fog, he wouldn't be afraid . The problem was that this mass of black fog took the shape of a person . The thing looked exactly like a human being, but was constructed of the black substance .
It had narrow eyes, long hair, and black fingernails . All in all, it looked like a ghost that had crawled out of Hell . From its mouth came the sniffling sound and, although it was still faint, the other two now heard it as well .
Qingfeng Li glanced over at Huozhu Chi . "I told you so," he said . "I said there was a sound and there you were questioning me . Now, do you see?"
Huozhu Chi's expression shifted from dark to pale, and to dark again . However, he couldn't dispute the fact as the proof was right before their eyes .
As a woman, Linglong Xue despised these ghostly creatures . Her body shifted closer to Qingfeng Li .
Her arm bumped into Qingfeng Li's . Feeling the soft flesh against his, he whispered to her, "What, do you have a thing for me or something? Why're you standing so close to me?"
A flash of red swept over Linglong Xue's pretty face . She glared at Qingfeng Li in frustration . "I'm just disgusted by these ghost-things," she hissed at him . "It looks like it had just crawled out of Hell . "
"If they gross you out, why don't you just kill it?" Qingfeng Li replied, nonchalant .
Linglong Xue rolled her eyes, displeased by Qingfeng Li's lack of compassion .
However, she didn't say anything more either . Lifting her right hand, she shot out a beam of blood-red light . Flying at breakneck speed, the beam tore through the air and into the black figure with a "Whoosh!" The black figure was blown apart .
However, a moment later, something happened that shocked all of them . The scattered black fog gathered and reformed into the exact same figure as earlier .
Linglong Xue's expression changed . "I know what this is now," she said . "It's a baleful spirit . They're said to be formed from True-Yin Baleful Energy . Normal techniques can't hurt them at all . "
Behind them, Huozhu Chi barked in laughter . "Of course these baleful spirits aren't afraid of normal attacks," he said . "But they are afraid of fire . I use the Crimson Fire Flame . Let me destroy this thing . "
With the force of his will, Huozhu Chi activated the red flames within . These were the Crimson Fire Flame, given to him by the Crimson Fire Monarch . Its temperature had reached nine thousand degrees .
Huozhu Chi abruptly swung his right hand, casting out the fire he had been holding . The flames collided with the baleful spirit before them . The moment it made contact, a series of crackles came from within the baleful energy as it caught ablaze, sending the black fog into the air .

The baleful spirit gave a pitiful howl as it disappeared, glaring at Huozhu Chi .
Huozhu Chi sent a challenging look in Qingfeng Li's direction . "See?" he said . "This is the power of my Crimson Fire Flame . With just one move, I burned the baleful spirit right up . Its temperature reaches nine thousand degrees!"
Seeing the smug look on Huozhu Chi's face, Qingfeng Li silently called him an idiot .
As far as Qingfeng Li was concerned, flames of nine thousand degrees were nothing at all . After it had absorbed the Solar Essence, his golden flame had reached temperatures of eleven thousand degrees, two full thousands of degrees higher than Huozhu Chi's Crimson Fire Flame . Huozhu Chi didn't know what he was dealing with .
Qingfeng Li smiled humorlessly . Throwing a contemptuous look in Huozhu Chi's direction, he turned his head and couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore . This arrogant, self-centered, cocky, and audacious bastard; Qingfeng Li had wanted to kill him for a long time now . But they were on the planet of death, and so he had to withhold his disdain .
Huozhu Chi's expression darkened . "Qingfeng Li, what was that for?" he said, fuming . "I'm the one who had just slain the baleful spirit . How dare you look down on me? Do you really think that, just because we're here, I can't do anything to you?"
With that, Huozhu Chi took a step forward, releasing powerful energy that filled the sky and threatening to attack Qingfeng Li .

Not even glancing his way, Qingfeng Li lifted his foot and walked away . He wanted to know where this baleful spirit had come from .
This was, after all, a planet of death . There shouldn't even be ghosts here . However, it had now borne baleful spirits . This meant that there were dead spirits here . Despite what they were, dead spirits were still a type of creature .
Huozhu Chi was now truly angered by Qingfeng Li's actions . In all of the Crimson Fire Continent, he was the great and powerful First Disciple of the Ruler of the planet, and the King of a supreme dynasty . He was second to only one person, everyone else had to treat him with great respect .
Upon seeing him, every self-cultivator would kiss up to him, wearing a smile . No one had ever disregarded him like Qingfeng Li had just done, let alone look down on him .
Huozhu Chi let out a roar as he swung his right fist . Forming a Crimson Fire fist, he threw a heavy punch at Qingfeng Li .
Qingfeng Li didn't even bother looking behind him at Huozhu Chi . He simply swung his hand behind him in the style of the Saint Solar Palm, immediately forming a wave of terrifying energy .
The Saint Solar Palm and Huozhu Chi's fist collided, emitting an echoing boom . A moment later, the Crimson Fire Flame were blown apart . Cracks had even appeared on his fist as he staggered backward .
Qingfeng Li stood in place, not moving an inch .

Seeing this, Huozhu Chi's face paled and his pupils contracted . There was now a hint of fear in his eyes .
"How's that possible? You've reached the Monarch Level Eighth Class? That's impossibly fast!"
Huozhu Chi stared ahead at Qingfeng Li, his eyes full of shock . He had clearly remembered that, just a short while ago, Qingfeng Li had been weaker than him . Now, he was at the same level .
What truly shocked Huozhu Chi was Qingfeng Li's power . They had just both used one attack on each other . However, Qingfeng Li had been able to smash his Crimson Fire Flame and force him back . This meant that, purely in terms of their flames and power, Qingfeng Li had surpassed Huozhu Chi . How could he not be shocked?
Beside them, Linglong Xue also wore an expression of surprise . Qingfeng Li's power left her in complete awe . She knew Huozhu Chi's abilities clearly . He was someone who was on the same level as herself .
However, with a casual swipe of his hand, Qingfeng Li had overpowered Huozhu Chi . This meant that Qingfeng Li was capable of defeating her as well .
Linglong Xue stared at Qingfeng Li with an odd look on her face .
"If I'm not wrong," she murmured, "the palm attack that you just used was the one that had once been practiced by Sun Monarch . "
Qingfeng Li nodded, smiling . "That's right . "
Linglong Xue finally understood . She had long suspected that Qingfeng Li had already obtained the Sun Monarch's techniques before entering the Bronze Sarcophagus . Now, it looked like her guess was indeed correct .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
