Chapter 242: Blood Axe Xiao Chen!

"This Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is simply trying to toy with us like we are mere puppets..."

Gu Fei's reaction at this moment was extremely calm; he looked toward the dome of the great hall and said indifferently.

Hearing these words, everyone's brows furrowed slightly; being toyed with by an Exotic Fire was something people found rather difficult to accept.

"Let's continue!"

Gu Fei waved his hand lightly and walked forward.

Next, the group continued to destroy the army of Fire Slaves in the great hall in an instant with a momentum like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Then, everyone turned into streaks of light, appearing at the end of the great hall after a few flickers, shattering the giant door once more, and striding inside.

In the time that followed, it remained a dull, repetitive process of clearing levels, and the pattern of the challenges was extremely monotonous; every giant hall contained Fire Slaves that were exactly the same.

There even appeared many Fire Slaves with the strength of a Half-Saint; the younger generation like Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi were already of no great use.

Only then did Gu Nanhai understand why Gu Fei had not allowed other young people from the clan to come to this place where the Demon Fire descended to gain experience from the very beginning.

If one had not reached the Dou Sheng level, coming here meant being either cannon fodder or a burden, only adding to the chaos.

"Bang!"

Another massive hall door was shattered by a palm strike from the expressionless Gu Fei; as stone debris sprayed out, another giant hall appeared.

"It seems we have reached Xiao Chen..."

Gu Fei swept his gaze across the room and murmured in his heart.

The people around him also let out sounds of surprise.

Because they discovered that there were actually not many Fire Slaves in this giant hall! In the center of the giant hall, there was only one somewhat gaunt figure standing straight.

"Four-Star Dou Sheng!"

Sensing the aura of that figure.

Expressions of gravity slowly welled up on the faces of Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao.

Although the two of them were also Four-Star Dou Sheng, that gaunt figure in the hall was actually a notch stronger than them! "Is this also a Fire Slave?"

Huo Xuan was dumbfounded.

To what extent was this Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame terrifying? It could actually turn a Four-Star Dou Sheng expert into a Fire Slave?

"No matter how strong he is, we must defeat him to reach the halls behind!"

Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao both revealed great fighting spirit.

As everyone's footsteps landed in the great hall.

That figure's tightly closed eyes slowly opened; he wore only the most ordinary clothes, his face was as stiff as if it were frozen, without the slightest expression, and his eyes were cold, like black ice that had not melted for ten thousand years.

"Bang!"

In the quiet great hall, the ground suddenly shook heavily; the gaunt figure gripped the empty space in front of him, and a blood-red giant axe, several zhang in size and looking extremely exaggerated and strange, appeared out of thin air.

Against the backdrop of such a giant axe, his gaunt figure appeared somewhat comical.

But everyone present could clearly feel the terrifying power hidden within that gaunt body.

"This person is so strong! However, he seems somewhat familiar... he looks like someone!"

Looking at the blood-colored giant axe, Gu Nanhai's brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something. After the blood-colored giant axe appeared, there was no idle talk from either side; Gu Fei and the other two collided fiercely with that figure in the most brutal manner.

"Clang! Clang!"

In the vast great hall, four figures flashed at a dazzling speed, and as they flickered and appeared, blinding sparks constantly splashed out.

Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi could only retreat so as not to add to the chaos for Gu Fei and the others.

Inside the giant hall, under the attacks of Gu Fei and the two others, the gaunt figure holding the giant blood axe, although stronger, was still no match for the three of them combined and was constantly beaten back.

Only during this fight did Gu Nanhai realize how terrifying Gu Fei's combat power was; dealing with this Fire Slave relied entirely on Gu Fei to suppress him.

"Roar!"

Once again forced back, a sudden, crazy heat surged into the indifferent eyes of the blood-axe figure.

A low roar came from his throat, and a strong light suddenly burst from the center of his forehead; within that light, a rune slowly appeared in everyone's sight, and as this rune appeared, the person's aura also surged violently.

"This, this seems to be the Xiao Clan Clan Mark?"

Seeing this scene, Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao were dumbfounded and very surprised.

"Boom!"

In the arena, the gaunt man with the surging aura slashed out with his axe.

"Bang!"

Facing such a terrifying attack capable of splitting the heavens and earth, Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao were actually both beaten back despite joining forces to intercept it.

"You two stand back!"

Gu Fei's figure flashed out, arriving in front of the two, facing the Fire Slave all by himself.

"Blood Axe Xiao Chen, do you intend to remain a Fire Slave forever?"

"Have you forgotten that you are a member of the Ancient Xiao Clan?"

Gu Fei spoke loudly, even utilizing his soul power, and his voice had great penetrating power.

Hearing these words, the gaunt man with the exceptionally cold expression finally had a ripple emerge on his zombie-like face.

"Xiao Clan..."

Hearing this term, ripples appeared in the gaunt man's indifferent eyes.

"Who am I?"

Confusion appeared in the gaunt man's eyes.

"So this person is Xiao Chen..."

"I have only seen this blood-colored axe in ancient records; back in the day, the Xiao Clan produced a brilliant and talented individual whose signature weapon was a massive blood axe, and this person was called Xiao Chen!"

The others were very shocked.

They were all people from the Ancient Races, and therefore knew a little about the secret history of the Xiao Clan.
