Chapter 5402David helped Zi Yuan retreat to the camp, and Wu Hao immediately sent for healing elixirs.After taking the elixir, Zi Yuan’s spiritual power gradually returned, but she still looked at the black-robed youth on the battlefield with a wary look.The black-robed youth, who had been silenced by David’s rebuke, saw Zi Yuan being escorted away. He was filled with anger and fear, but he didn’t dare to confront David. Instead, he directed his rage at the Sixth Heaven cultivators, shouting hoarsely, “A bunch of cowards! Just won a match, and you’re so proud of yourself? Who else dares to come out and die?”His words pierced the cultivators’ hearts like a needle, and the morale that had just risen with Zi Yuan’s victory plummeted.Leng Yun’s face flushed red as he tried to advance again, but was held back by those around him. His spiritual power hadn’t yet recovered, and advancing would only add to his defeat.Just as the camp fell silent, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out: “How dare you, young demon cultivator, speak so arrogantly? Let me confront you!”Before the words had even finished, a crimson figure leaped into the center of the battlefield like a raging fire, sending up a cloud of dust as it landed.The newcomer was a burly figure, dressed in crimson garb, a broadsword slung from his waist, and a savage smile on his face. It was none other than Han Lie, the “Red Flame Blade,” ranked third on the Martial Ranking.“It’s Han Lie!” A cry of surprise suddenly echoed from the mountainside. “The third-ranked Red Flame Blade has finally made his move!” “Han Lie reached the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm many years ago, even stronger than Zi Yuan just now. That black-robed demon cultivator is doomed!”noveldrama“Great! We can finally teach these arrogant demon cultivators a lesson!”The cultivators chattered with anticipation, and even Wu Hao’s face showed a hint of relief.Han Lie was renowned among the younger generation of the Sixth Heaven for his fierce fighting prowess. His “Red Flame Sword Technique” was unparalleled in its power, having once cleaved a cliff a thousand feet in half with a single blow. His strength far surpassed Leng Yun’s.The black-robed young man, observing the powerful aura emanating from Han Lie, a glint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but his words remained unforgiving: “Another one seeking death? All the same, let me finish him off!”“Stop talking nonsense and give me your life!”Han Lie’s eyes blazed with fighting intent, and he suddenly drew the broadsword from his waist.The instant the bladewas unsheathed, a scorching aura washed over him, and a faint flame condensed on the blade. This was the Red Flame Blade’s innate spiritual power—the Burning Heaven Flame.The black-robed youth, fearing complacency, formed seals with his hands, and demonic energy swirled around him. He quickly condensed into two black scimitars, hovering at his sides.“Take it!”he shouted. The two black blades, like two dark shadows, pierced Han Lie’s heart with a sharp, air-piercing sound.Han Lie sneered and swung his blades to block.With two crisp clangs, the black blades were cleaved by the Red Flame Blade, their demonic energy instantly incinerated by the Burning Heaven Flame.The black-robed youth was startled, having not expected Han Lie’s power to be so formidable. He quickly controlled the black blades and attacked again.This time, the black blades no longer moved in a straight line but circled in the air like two black bats, attacking Han Lie from all angles.Han Lie, however, remained unfazed. His Red Flame Blade danced impenetrably in his hands, forming a wall of fire that blocked every attack.“Is that all you’re capable of?”Han Lie laughed heartily. Suddenly, he leaped up, gripping the blade with both hands and slashing down fiercely: “Red Flame Blade Technique, First Form – Blazing Flames!”The moment the blade fell, countless flames erupted from the blade, sweeping towards the black-robed youth like a tidal wave.Wherever the flames passed, the ground was instantly charred black, and even the air became incredibly scorching. The black-robed youth’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned all his demonic energy to condense into a black shield.“Bang!”The flames collided with the shield, making a loud noise.The black shield continued to melt under the flames, and blood flowed from the corner of the black-robed youth’s mouth, clearly suffering internal injuries.
