Chapter 246

The fight among Chen Yi He, the Dragon King, and Xiao Xiaoyu has already become fiercely intense.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Long Wang? (Dragon King), Xiao Xiaoyu.

They are deadlocked, neither able to win nor willing to yield.

After Chen Yi He skewered one opponent with his sword, he then took a punch from Xiao Xiaoyu and a palm strike from the Dragon King, but they eventually broke apart. Luckily he avoided being slashed by the Dragon King's Azure Dragon Blade; otherwise he might have had to bid farewell to everyone.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Xiao Xiaoyu, Long Wang, Azure Dragon Blade

The Dragon King's strength has greatly increased since a few days ago; clearly, a Heavenly Dao adept has been training him, imbueing him with Heavenly Dao's power.

Entities: Long Wang, Heavenly Dao

Chen Yi He has sustained three wounds; the intense pain is nearly numbing him. The Heavenly Dao's power only aggravates his injuries, causing relentless bleeding. If it weren't for the Classic of Longevity sustaining him, he would have bled to death by now.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Heavenly Dao, Classic of Longevity

In fact, the Dragon King and Xiao Xiaoyu have sustained worse injuries than Chen Yi He, yet they feel no pain; even massive wounds don't hurt them unless a limb is severed, otherwise they are unaffected…

Entities: Long Wang, Xiao Xiaoyu, Chen Yi He.

Chen Yi He still hesitates to land a killing blow, because if he were to cleave the Dragon King's head with one sword strike, there would be no hope of saving him. But this is merely an idealistic scenario—taking down the Dragon King is far from simple.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Long Wang.

Chen Yi He is soaked in sweat and gasping for breath; despite being at the Sixth Heaven cultivation level, he shouldn't be this exhausted, but extreme depletion has caused this state.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Sixth Heaven

Everything is relative.

Just as Chen Yi He wondered what to do next, two key figures appeared.

Entities: Chen Yi He.

"Chen Yi He, long time no see!" a familiar voice called out.

Entities: Chen Yi He.

Chen Yi He couldn't at first remember who this familiar person was. "Who could show up under such intense pressure?" he wondered, then turned around and saw two familiar figures.

Entities: Chen Yi He.

It was the Palace Master and Wu Rong.

Entities: Palace Master, Wu Rong.

"Wu Rong!"

Entities: Wu Rong.

"Palace Master!"

Entities: Palace Master.

"Wu Rong!" Wu Rong said, smiling. In an instant he had come from afar to Chen Yi He's side, remarking, "You look a bit disheveled!"

Entities: Wu Rong, Chen Yi He.

"We haven't seen each other in over a year, and you're already making fun of me? Hahaha!" Chen Yi He laughed.

Entities: Chen Yi He.

More than a year ago, he, Dongfang Xing, and Wu Rong parted at the edge of the Southern Border; it's truly rare that they could meet again in this lifetime.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Dongfang Xing, Wu Rong, Southern Border

"Indeed! I didn't expect to see you under these circumstances. Looks like we can't sit down for tea and catch up!" Chen Yi He told Wu Rong.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Wu Rong.

At the same time, Chen Yi He also noticed the Palace Master.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Palace Master.

The Palace Master regarded him with a cold yet complex gaze; she had once wanted to kill Chen Yi He, even if it wasn't an honorable victory, just to earn a chance to leave the Five Absolutes Palace. Seeing him again, some awkwardness is inevitable.

Entities: Palace Master, Chen Yi He, Five Absolutes Palace

Chen Yi He could sense that the Palace Master was wounded. He asked, "How did the two of you end up together?"

Entities: Chen Yi He, Palace Master.

"It's a long story; once we've dealt with those two, I'll fill you in." Wu Rong gestured toward the Dragon King and Xiao Xiaoyu.

Entities: Wu Rong, Long Wang, Xiao Xiaoyu.

The Dragon King stood there, his white eyes gazing arrogantly at all; whether facing a single opponent or tens of thousands of troops, he showed no fear.

Entities: Long Wang.

Xiao Xiaoyu shifted her gaze from Chen Yi He to the Palace Master; if she were conscious, she would surely be thinking, "That's not the one I was meant to kill? She's finally shown up!"

Entities: Xiao Xiaoyu, Chen Yi He, Palace Master.

Wu Rong seemed to see through Xiao Xiaoyu's thoughts, stepping forward and placing the Palace Master behind him. He told Xiao Xiaoyu, "Today you're my opponent; if you want to kill her, you'll have to step over my corpse. Don't say I won't fight a woman just because I'm a decent guy!"

Entities: Wu Rong, Xiao Xiaoyu, Palace Master.

The Palace Master whispered from behind him, "She has no consciousness and can't speak; saying all this is pointless..."

Entities: Palace Master.

Wu Rong felt a bit embarrassed, then quickly told the battered Chen Yi He, "We're brothers; let me share your burden."

Entities: Wu Rong, Chen Yi He.

"Good, we're brothers!" Chen Yi He exclaimed, relieved, but he soon worried, "I think they might still regain their senses..."

Entities: Chen Yi He.

"The Palace Master told me I'd be careful."

Entities: Palace Master.

"But most importantly, you need to preserve your own life!" Chen Yi He had just finished speaking when the Dragon King lunged at him to attack.

Entities: Chen Yi He, Long Wang.

Chen Yi He is the type who gets fired up by people; seeing an old friend he hasn't seen in over a year instantly excited him, reigniting his fighting spirit—he absolutely cannot lose face in front of his brothers!

Entities: Chen Yi He.

That would let down both Wu Rong and the Dragon King.

Entities: Wu Rong, Long Wang.

The battle scene shifts to Wu Rong and Xiao Xiaoyu first.

Entities: Wu Rong, Xiao Xiaoyu.

Wu Rong turned one hand around the other's wrist, smiling and saying, "Beautiful lady, long time no see!"

Entities: Wu Rong.

Wu Rong's strike was pure blazing fire! Flames erupted from the ground, rushing straight at Xiao Xiaoyu at extreme speed; everything in their path was instantly melted.

Entities: Wu Rong, Xiao Xiaoyu.

This is the Purgatory Gate's "Purgatory Hand"! Wu Rong's mastery of the Purgatory Hand and fire has reached the utmost extreme.

Entities: Purgatory Gate, Purgatory Hand, Wu Rong

Xiao Xiaoyu gasped in shock! If she hadn't dodged in time, she would have been burned straight to ash.

Entities: Xiao Xiaoyu.

Obviously, Wu Rong is not holding back; he doesn't care whether Xiao Xiaoyu lives or dies! Anything tied to the Heavenly Dao is his enemy.

Entities: Wu Rong, Xiao Xiaoyu, Heavenly Dao.

Wu Rong's hands were a deep fire-red, like a lump of iron freshly taken from a blazing furnace, glowing bright. Because the temperature is so high, the air around his hands is scorching, like steam rising from boiling water.

Entities: Wu Rong.

And the violent Xiao Xiaoyu is like a hard chunk of ice!

Entities: Xiao Xiaoyu.

"Bang!" Ice and fire collide!

Entities: (none specific)

Sparks and ice blossoms fall together!

Entities: (none)

Both are shaken quite severely!

Entities: (none)

Wu Rong is even about to be knocked over!

Entities: Wu Rong.

"I'm not the same person I was a year ago; I never expected to almost trip up like this—looks like I can't underestimate my opponent!" Wu Rong's eyes locked on Xiao Xiaoyu as he thought to himself.

Entities: Wu Rong, Xiao Xiaoyu.

Xiao Xiaoyu also fared poorly; she stepped back three or four paces, then raised her fist to look at it, probably wondering if it had been burned. Even she began to feel wary—that power directly scorching her body could very well reduce her to powder.

Entities: Xiao Xiaoyu.

"It's not simple; we can only use our Purgatory Gate's secret art..." Wu Rong muttered, slowly mobilizing his internal true qi.

Entities: Purgatory Gate, Wu Rong.

Blazing fire scorched the earth beneath his feet; magma emerged from somewhere, oozing from his body and slowly flowing over the wreckage! His body temperature rose rapidly—this time it wasn't just his hands!

Entities: Wu Rong.

"Everyone talks about our Purgatory Gate's 'Purgatory Hand,' but they don't know about the 'Blazing Flame Divine Art'! Today I'll let you see it!" Wu Rong said coldly. His expression was completely opposite to his condition.

Entities: Purgatory Gate, Purgatory Hand, Blazing Flame Divine Art, Wu Rong

At this moment, Wu Rong is in a state of Ice and Fire Dual Heavens.

Entities: Wu Rong, Ice and Fire Dual Heavens

Although the Palace Master was wounded, she didn't stay on the sidelines; she carefully observed both sides of the battlefield, hoping to help her teammates find the opponent's weakness.

Entities: Palace Master.

Yes, now she and Chen Yi He are on the same side, they are teammates.
