Chapter 1700: The Fire Deity (2)

Cultivators were very sensitive, after all.

Yan Guichen stopped moving.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Honggong said, Please.

Realization dawned on Yan Guichen, and he turned to Zhu Honggong and asked, Did you deliberately let me catch you?

Zhu Honggong waved his hand and shook his head as he said, How could it be? Senior, your cultivation is profound. Its very easy for you to catch me.

Yan Guichen looked at the small house again, considering if he should enter.

At this time, a voice rang from inside the house.

Cult Leader Yan, since youre already here, why dont you come in? Why are you so worried?

Yan Guichen frowned. You know me?

Yan Guichen walked forward with his hands on his back, and his subordinates followed closely behind him. As soon as they entered the house, they saw a scholarly man wearing a red mask sitting in front of a table and brewing tea in a leisurely manner. A majestic-looking guard, whose face was hidden as well, stood behind him.

The scholarly man looked up and said, Please have a seat.

Yan Guichen flashed and appeared next to the seat across from the scholarly man. He said, You havent answered my question.

At this moment, Zhu Honggong finally entered the house. He ran in and said to the scholarly man, Ive brought him here for you.

Well done, the scholarly man said before he pushed a cup of tea, which he had brewed, toward Yan Guichen and continued to say, To be honest with you, I have a good understanding of the Nihilist Congregation.

Who are you? Yan Guichen asked.

Im Qi Sheng, the Commander of Tu Wei Hall, Qi Sheng replied calmly.

The Commander of Tu Wei Hall? Yan Guichen asked. Then, a smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, The owner of the Great Void Seed, the prodigy? I didnt expect to meet you.

Qi Sheng said, Ive been looking for you for a long time, and I had no choice but to do this. I hope you wont be angry, Cult Leader Yan.

Yan Guichen turned to look at Zhu Honggong. He recalled the time he caught Zhu Honggong. In hindsight, it had indeed been suspiciously easy to catch him. He did not expect that it had been orchestrated. Finally, he pointed to Zhu Honggon and asked Qi Sheng, Arent you afraid that Id kill him?

You cant kill him, Qi Sheng said.

How can you be so sure? Yan Guichen asked.

He has Emperor Shang Zhangs Solar and Lunar Concentric Jade, Qi Sheng replied calmly.

...

Yan Guichen carefully sized up the person in front of him. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, Impressive! Youre able to convince Emperor Shang Zhang to lend you the jade.

How hard could it be? Emperor Shang Zhangs daughter is my junior sister, Qi Sheng replied with a smile.

...

Yan Guichen rose to his feet suddenly and glared at Qi Sheng. Are you toying with me?

Qi Sheng maintained the smile on his face and said, Please sit down.

Yan Guichen did not move.

Qi Sheng said again, Please sit down.

Although the anger on Yan Guichens face had vanished, he said, I can kill all of you now.

Qi Sheng shook his head and said, I dont think youre so foolish to do such a thing, Cult Leader Yan.

You dont know for sure.

Very well, Qi Sheng said before he snapped his fingers.

Swoos.h.!.+

The black-clad cultivator standing behind Qi Sheng flashed, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Yan Guichen was startled. This is bad!

The black-clad cultivator swept past Yan Guichens men before he finally came to a stop.

Yan Guichen spun around.

Swoos.h.!.+

All of a sudden, Yan Guichens five men were drowning in true fire, and they were crying out in agony.

Yan Guichens expression changed slightly as he s.h.i.+fted his eyes to look at the black-clad cultivator. His expression turned to one of anger in the next moment, but his eyes shone with wariness as he said, Is this how you treat your guests?

The rumors of the ten celestial stars almost caused the death of my junior sister. This can be considered a small punishment, Qi Sheng said.

Bast*rd! Its not your turn to punish me!

Boom!

Yan Guichen could no longer endure it. He flew up.

A supreme being was indeed terrifying.

As soon as Yan Guichen made a move, Zhu Honggong widened his eyes and cried out, F*ck! Quickly hide!

Qi Sheng grabbed Zhu Honggong before he swiftly retreated.

At the same time, the black-clad cultivator flashed and appeared above Yan Guichen. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and deep as he said, How dare you!

A palm seal burning with red flames shot out.

Yan Guichen unleashed energy seals and met the attack directly.

Boom!

The energy from the collision rippled out immediately.

The formation protected the house, but the trees were all destroyed.

Zhu Honggong looked at the battling duo and asked worriedly, Can he do it?

Dont worry. If he cant, no one can.

Who is he?

Youll find out later

In the sky outside of the house.

Yan Guichen tossed out a red and a golden talisman.

Upon seeing this, Qi Sheng said with a smile, A dual-colored deviant cultivator. As expected of the Nihilist Congregation. There are truly many crouching tigers and hidden dragons there.

So strong! Zhu Honggong gulped. Then, he pointed at Qi Sheng and said, I took such a huge risk to find the Nihilist Congregation. If you dont tell me where my Seventh Senior Brother is, Ill rip you to shreds!

Qi Sheng pushed Zhu Honggongs hand away and said, Why are you so timid? If I said theres no need to worry, then theres no need to worry. You werent in any danger

But How did you know they were looking for me? Coincidence? Zhu Honggong asked, perplexed.

Qi Sheng only smiled and did not reply to Zhu Honggong.

Meanwhile, the black-clad cultivator and Yan Guichen were still fighting fiercely in the sky. They flew up and down and back and forth. The entire area within 100 miles of the small house became their battlefield. Their battle had reached the climax, but there was still no victor.

Yan Guichen exclaimed in surprise, I didnt expect there to be such a powerful expert in the Great Void. Who are you?

You dont deserve to know my name, the black-clad cultivator said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Swoos.h.!.+

The black-clad cultivator grew even bolder the more he fought. He appeared above Yan Guichen again before his hands burned with fiery red flames again. It was true fire again.

Yan Guichen was extremely disgusted by the true fire. He let out a roar, and a golden-red lotus bloomed.

Youre still too young and inexperienced, the black-clad cultivator said before spreading his arms. Then, a shocking scene appeared. His arms were illuminated with red light from a pair of fiery red wings that sprouted on his back. They lit up the sky and burned the ground and the trees.

Yan Guichen exclaimed, Ling Guang the Fire Deity?!

No wonder he has the true fire!

With this, Yan Guichens confidence collapsed. He decisively changed his strategy.

Run!

Swoos.h.!.+

Yan Guichen was about to put his golden-red lotus away when he discovered the s.p.a.ce had frozen and he could not withdraw his lotus.

Ah!

Yan Guichen, who sensed the danger he was in, shouted, The Unholy One has returned! Im his most loyal believer! You cannot touch me!

Bright red flames surged everywhere.

The high temperature and the law of s.p.a.ce imprisoned Yan Guichen. He could not move at all and could only let the fire burn.

A hoa.r.s.e voice rang from above.

The Unholy One doesnt have a believer like you!

Then, the fiery red wings flapped and swooped as sharp as blades.

Bang!

They hit Yan Guichens lotus. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and plummeted from the sky.

Boom!

Yan Guichen lay on the ground; he no longer struggled. He looked at the pair of flaming wings in shock and confusion.

In just a breath, the black-clad cultivator withdrew the flames in the surroundings. Then, the surging Primal Qi calmed down as well.

With the help of the formation, the small building and everything in its range returned to normal in fewer than 15 minutes.

Finally, Qi Sheng and Zhu Honggong walked over.

Qi Sheng leaned over slightly and looked down with a smile as he said, Do you know? After you captured Old Zhu, I couldve killed all of you.

Yan Guichen said, J-just with the Fire Deity? I am afraid thats not enough

Who told you that its just the Fire Deity alone? Qi Sheng asked.

...

Yan Guichens face was ashen.

Zhu Honggong seized the opportunity to add fuel to fire. Thats right! Ive never met anyone as cunning as you! You even managed to kill Wu Zu!

You killed Wu Zu?! Yan Guichen exclaimed.

What do you think? Ive said it before. You almost caused my junior sisters death. If it werent for my kindness, you wouldve already died earlier. Im really too kind.

...

You can flay me alive or kill me. Its up to you, Yan Guichen said, turning to the side.

Qi Sheng said with a smile, Killing you is too easy. Im very curious. Since you managed to decipher three characters, did you manage to decipher the remaining characters as well?

Yan Guichen did not speak.

The black-clad cultivator came to Qi Shengs side and looked down at Yan Guichen with his hands on his back before he said, Kid, hand the Unholy Ones painting over, and Ill spare your life!

Qi Sheng added, And the Heaven Suppressing Pestle.

Yan Guichen said with a hint of gloating, The Unholy Ones painting and the Heaven Suppressing Pestle arent in my possession. If you have the guts, go and demand them from the Unholy One!

The Unholy One?

Yan Guichen said with a small hint of excitement, Thats right! Our Lord Unholy One has already returned to the Great Void! It wont be long before he ascends to the peak again! Your good days are about to come to an end!
