Chapter 281: Time to Send You Off

Equipped in a crimson armor and wielding the Blazing Saber in his hand, Huo Linfei stood before Xiang Shaoyun and blocked his path . He was surrounded by a raging column of flame that seemed to reach the heavens, looking like a god of flame .

"Hehe, you really don't know what's good for you," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Come . You had injured the men of the Lightning Alliance . Today is the day we settle the grudge," said Huo Linfei before lifting his saber and slashing at Xiang Shaoyun .

Raging Skyburner!

Huo Linfei used all his strength from the very start . An odd flame raged around his saber as his saber energy shot out and transformed into a fiery tsunami that crashed down at Xiang Shaoyun .

One ought to admit that Huo Linfei indeed had incredible combat prowess . He wouldn't have been able to become the vice alliance leader of the Lightning Alliance otherwise . With the combat prowess he was displaying, he was comparable to even War Kings .

"Playing with fire in front of me? You think too highly of yourself," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer before countering with his Seven Scorching Sun Claws .

With the pair of gloves he wore, he did not need to fear touching the Blazing Saber . His claws moved in an unpredictable manner, instantly ripping Huo Linfei's saber energy apart before reaching toward Huo Linfei's chest . He hit Huo Linfei only to find that his attack had landed on an afterimage .

"You fell for it!" Huo Linfei's voice rang out as he appeared beside Xiang Shaoyun, sending forth an even more overbearing saber energy .

The saber energy raged forth like a torrential flame with a fearsome might . Instantly, Xiang Shaoyun was completely surrounded by the wave of flame . That technique had indeed caught Xiang Shaoyun by surprise, but he was still able to pull out from the wave at the last second like an unpredictable phantom .

That was the prowess of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps—capable of crossing worlds with a single step . Xiang Shaoyun had spent the past two years slowly tempering himself and learning more about the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps through the numerous battles he had undergone . He had slowly come to comprehend the essence of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps .

After escaping the attack, Xiang Shaoyun no longer held back . He appeared behind Huo Linfei and started clawing madly with his Seven Scorching Sun Claws . Huo Linfei had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would actually be able to escape his attack and counterattack so quickly . He quickly turned around and started resisting the incoming attacks with his saber .

However, Xiang Shaoyun's claws seemed to be everywhere . No matter what he tried, Huo Linfei failed to block the claws . Numerous claw wounds were left on his body, and if it wasn't for the armor he was wearing, he would have been completely dyed red in blood by now .

Huo Linfei was forced into a repeated retreat, and he finally witnessed Xiang Shaoyun's prowess in combat . Even so, he couldn't just concede defeat . Thus, he shouted in panic, "Blue Lion Flame, full activation!"

Instantly, the apparition of a blue lion appeared behind him . A column of blue flame surged out, increasing his combat prowess to a brand new level . This new blue flame was much more powerful than the flame he had been using earlier . Even Xiang Shaoyun was forced to retreat, and Huo Linfei took the chance to press on by swinging his Blazing Saber at Xiang Shaoyun .

Blue Lion Annihilation!

Four blue lions appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Xiang Shaoyun . Their aura was boundless and fearsome, their prowess creating a massive cloud of dust in the area, leaving destruction everywhere in their immediate surroundings . The people nearby cried out in alarm at the sight of that .

"Who are these people? Both of them are War Kings! This is too scary!"

"The person in the crimson armor is Huo Linfei from Cloud Margin Pavilion . His strength is second only to the Lightning Kid . "

"Both of them are giants among men, but that young man in white seems to be only an eighth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator . He is actually able to stand his ground against a peak Transformation Realm cultivator . He definitely has insane potential . "

"Who cares? We still need to get on the Moon Gazing Platform . "

. . .

Huo Linfei's attack was extremely powerful, capable of giving even regular Skysoar Realm experts a hard time . Xiang Shaoyun, the target of the attack, had a first hand experience at how powerful it was . An intense sea of blue flame surrounded him, tempting Yun Flame within him to come out and devour all the blue flame in the area . Sensing Yun Flame's desire, Xiang Shaoyun let it release a massive pulling force and devour the flame Huo Linfei was throwing his way .

Whoosh!

Instantly, Yun Flame devoured the blue flame, stripping Huo Linfei's saber energy from the blue flame energy, leaving only a pure saber energy behind . It greatly weakened the offensive might of the saber energy to the point Xiang Shaoyun was able to easily block it .

"What?" Huo Linfei turned pale from fright .

He could not understand why his beast flame had suddenly vanished . On top of that, he could sense an incorporeal devouring force surrounding him, causing the beast flame in his stars to withdraw in fear .

Taking advantage of this distraction, Xiang Shaoyun pressed on and clawed at Huo Linfei . His attack was further powered by Yun Flame, allowing him to tear Huo Linfei's armor apart .

"AHHHH!"

Finally, the attack reached Huo Linfei's flesh, causing him to wail in pain . Even worse for Huo Linfei was the fact that Yun Flame was starting to burn inside his body . The power of Yun Flame was incredibly intense, and Huo Linfei was completely incapable of suppressing it .

At the same time, Huo Linfei also sensed that the beast flame within him seemed to have encountered an apex predator . It did not even dare to resist and was instead fleeing everywhere in a disorderly manner .

"Refine!" Huo Linfei was still a cultivator of the power of flame . While Yun Flame burned his body and suppressed his beast flame, he started relying on himself to refine the invading flame .

But how would Xiang Shaoyun give him a chance to do so?

"You nearly killed me at the volcano . Today, it's my turn to send you off from this world," Xiang Shaoyun said and gripped Huo Linfei's neck .

A look of panic covered Huo Linfei's face . "You . . . you are . . . "

He finally knew who Xiang Shaoyun was . But it was too late .

Crack!

His neck was directly snapped . After Huo Linfei died, Yun Flame continued burning and reduced Huo Linfei into a pile of ash . The beast flame was forced to escape, but it was unable to flee from Yun Flame .

Just like that, the high-tier beast flame was turned into Yun Flame's food, further increasing Yun Flame's might . When Yun Flame returned to Xiang Shaoyun's body, he could sense that his own strength had grown considerably, reaching late eighth-stage Transformation Realm . But he did not have the luxury to focus on that . A few other people were attacking him .

"You dare kill our vice alliance leader? The Lightning Alliance will not let you off!" shouted one of the attackers .

These people were Lightning Alliance members, and they were Huo Linfei's loyal followers . They attacked together, sending a massive bombardment toward Xiang Shaoyun .
