Divine God Against The Heavens

Zhou Yan wanted to call out for help but when he looked around, his face immediately become even more gloomy as no one was present there. He was currently at a deserted road. There was not even an ordinary bird present. He could not help but trembled in fear. He looked in Ye Xiao's eyes. He could see only two thing in his eyes. Hatred and anger.

"Ye Xiao, what are you trying to do?" Zhou Yan shouted in fear.

"Nothing much. I'm here just to take your life." Ye Xiao laughed loudly and stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yan's neck.

"Ye Xiao, don't go to far. If you kill me, my master will definitely kill you." Zhou Yan threatened him in a hoarse voice.

"Hehe, don't worry. Soon, your master will come and see you in hell." Ye Xiao laughed and just as he was about to break Zhou Yan's neck, an intense fire suddenly fired up on his cloth. Ye Xiao threw Zhou Yan away and then tore open his cloths. In the blink of an eye, there was only ash left.

"Fire Soul? I almost forgot about this thing." Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Yan who was running crazily for his life. Ye Xiao also followed him and soon he once again appeared in front of him.

"Radiant Fist."

When Zhou Yan saw Ye Xiao appearing in front of him again, he punched at him with his fist art but in this punch of his, what was different from normal fist art was that his fist was covered by a violet flame which was giving a sense of intense heat.

Ye Xiao also didn't dodged as he thought it was funny. A mere First Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm martial artist was trying to fight with him, a martial artist of the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

But even if he thought that it was funny, he didn't dare to underestimate this punch of Zhou Yan because his fist was currently covered with the violet flame which was giving off a beastly aura.

"Beast Fire."

Ye Xiao quickly recognized the type of fire on Zhou Yan's fist.

"Mountain Collapsing Fist."

Ye Xiao also punched at him with his low grade Yellow Rank martial arts skill Mountain Collapsing Fist.

When his Mountain Collapsing Fist and Zhou Yan's Radiant Fist collided, there was suddenly a huge explosion occurred. Zhou Yan was sent flying whereas Ye Xiao was still standing on his place. He was looking at his fist which was charred black because of the beast fire.

On the other hand, Zhou Yan was vomiting blood. His entire hand was nowhere to be seen. It was clear that he lost an arm in the previous attack.

"How could it be? This is impossible. Yes, this is impossible. How could it be possible that you become so strong in just short amount of time of one month and on the case where you were crippled by me more than a month ago. It is impossible." Zhou Yan started shouting in disbelief. He never thought that a cripple will become this much powerful in just a short span of more than one month.

"You don't believe it, right." When Ye Xiao looked at him, he laughed and then he stopped laughing and sighed, "Actually, before, even I found this hard to believe."

"You know what, actually, I have to thank you. If it was not because of you, I wound not have been forced to jump down from that cliff and I would not have obtained an unimaginable treasure. You know what, before the competition, I just wanted to kill you but now that I know the reason of my father-like Fifth Elder Ye Fan's death as well as the reason about why you crippled me and why was I kicked out of the sect, I'm going to torture you to death.

"Mountain Collapsing Fist."

"No no, wait."

"Crack!"

"Ahhh!"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he punched at Zhou Yan's leg with his Mountain Collapsing Fist and broke his leg. Zhou Yan cried out in pain.

"Mountain Collapsing Fist."

"Crack!"

"Ahhh!"

"Mountain Collap...."

...

But Ye Xiao didn't stopped here. As he said earlier, he was going to torture Zhou Yan to death. He again attacked Zhou Yan's other leg and hand with his Mountain Collapsing Fist. And now, Zhou Yan can be considered a cripple in other way. His four limbs were broken now and he was screaming in pain.

Listening to his cry, Ye Xiao felt somewhat comfort in his heart.

"Fifth Elder, don't worry. Soon, I'll send every person who is involved in your murder to you."

After the time it take an incense stick to burn, Zhou Yan stopped screaming but he was still suffering from unimaginable pain. In his entire life, he never suffered this much what he suffered today.

Seeing that Zhou Yan was not screaming, Ye Xiao again came in front of him.

"Please, let me go. I beg you, let me go. I promise, I'll never do anything like this in the future." Zhou Yan begged for mercy.

"Of course you'll never do something like that in the future because you are going to die here and now." Ye Xiao said and placed his hand on the chest of Zhou Yan.

"Devour!"

"Ahh!"

Ye Xiao started devouring when Zhou Yan was still alive.

Normally, he could only devour when he killed someone but right now he was very angry. Whenever he punched and beat up Zhou Yan, he felt like venting his anger.

Zhou Yan was again started screaming loudly because of pain. He felt like someone was skinning him alive.

So painful. It was an inhuman pain.

At this time, after hearing Zhou Yan's scream, even Ye Xiao himself felt that he was too cruel but when he remembered how Fifth Elder died, his anger again surfaced and he continued to devour. After some time, Ye Xiao died because of pain and at this time Ye Xiao felt as if an scorching heat was entering his body.

At first, he was startled but after that he was overjoyed. Not only he killed Zhou Yan, he even devoured the beast fire from Zhou Yan's body and now, he can use it as he wishes.

But... what is going on?

"Ahhh!"

Pain. This much pain. It is killing me.

Ye Xiao suddenly felt immense pain coming out from his body. And it was not the normal pain. He felt like someone was burning him from inside his body.

He then remembered that in the process of absorbing any type of Fire Soul, one has to first bear an immense pain.

If one's will is not strong enough, one will die on the spot because of pain. It was no small matter to absorb and make the Fire Soul submit.

And only because of this reason, when one was going to absorb the Fire Soul, he does it on the presence of many elders so that they can help one to suppress the Fire Soul.

Just like this, Zhou Yan also managed to successfully absorb the Beast Fire with the help of his master, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Silver Moon Sect.

Ye Xiao was also now suffering from immense pain. He felt like his inner organs were all burning. He vomited out a mouthful of blood. Many time, he felt like giving up and wanted to faint but the pain was so immense that it didn't let him faint.

After who knows how much time was passed, he finally felt that his pain was lessened.

Currently, he was lying on the ground and even he himself did not know when he lay on the ground. When he looked at around him, he again saw a dried up corpse beside him. He was sure that it was the corpse of Zhou Yan.

He stood up and left that deserted place. Maybe, this time his luck was good that during the time it took him to kill Zhou Yan and absorb the Beast Fire, no one came there.

Thinking about the Beast Fire, Ye Xiao's eyes lit up. He again stopped and find a hidden place. Then he raised his hand in front of him and suddenly a violet flame begun to burn on his palm but what was surprising was that it did no harm to him unlike before when Zhou Yan attacked him with this fire, his hand was burned charred black.

Remembering that his hand was burned before, when Ye Xiao again looked at his hand, he didn't found even a trace of burn there. He was surprised that his wound was healed itself. He didn't know the reason why but even so, it was good as long as it did no harm to him and let him gain some profit.

Ye Xiao looked at the violet coloured fire on his palm.

It was his first Fire Soul. A Beast Fire.
