Chapter 1057 1017: The Siege

"What did you just say?"

Deng Tianhong and Li Bingyun's expressions changed on the spot, then turned gloomy as they said coldly, "Brat, I admit your strength isn't bad. One on one, you might be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with an ordinary Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm. But do you really think you alone can stand against the two of us? Against my Yan Zhen Sect!?"

"That's right!" Star Destroyer Monarch also cut in, his expression vicious to the extreme as he said, "That Ice Soul Fire was clearly mine, Star Destroyer Monarch's, yet you seized it and it got devoured by that flame. So now that flame should naturally also belong to my Yan Zhen Sect! You must hand it over."

"Must hand it over?" Chen Fei laughed, and said lightly, "How about this: Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flames have spirits. If it's willing to go with you, I will never stop it. But if it feels staying by my side is better, then you can hurry up and get lost. How about it?"

"How dare you!?" Seeing that Chen Fei actually dared to tell them to get lost, Star Destroyer Monarch and Deng Tianhong were instantly furious, their gazes spurting out a blood-red rage.

"Good!"

Instead, Li Bingyun let out a mysterious smile at these words, actually nodding in agreement. He looked at the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart coiling in the sky and said with squinting eyes, "I understand you can more or less comprehend my words. My Yan Zhen Sect is strong, with deep foundations. If you follow us, your future achievements will be limitless. Moreover…"

Speaking up to this point, Li Bingyun suddenly waved his hand. With a puff, a streak of bewitching flame actually appeared in his palm.

"This flame can barely be counted as one of the Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flames. If you're willing to follow us, I'll give it to you to devour. How about it?" Li Bingyun wore a coaxing smile on his face, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Poisonous Spider Fire?" Chen Fei looked at the flame in the other party's palm and muttered blandly. This flame should have been refined from within some powerful poisonous spider Demon Beast. It was quite formidable, but it had nothing to do with true Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flames.

However, the others didn't know this. All of their gazes focused on the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, wanting to see what choice it would make in the end.

But next, the triumphant look on Li Bingyun's face changed. What replaced it was an incomparably gloomy, extremely ugly expression.

Because the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart completely ignored him, not paying him the slightest bit of attention, treating him like air.

This scene made him lose face completely, his face flushing red! He felt utterly humiliated.

"You, little thing, you're playing tricks?" Immediately, he stared at Chen Fei with a dark face and snorted coldly.

"Playing tricks?" Chen Fei laughed and said, "May I ask, what trick did I play?"

"If you weren't playing tricks, how could this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame ignore me? You must have bound it, not letting it show its true will! You're looking for death!?" Li Bingyun was utterly shameless, spouting such nonsense.

"Pa pa pa!" Chen Fei clapped his hands with a smile, unable to help but laugh. "What a fine display of shamelessness. So this is what the so-called Great Elder of Yan Zhen Sect is like? I finally got to see it today."

"Brat, you're courting death!?" Li Bingyun flew into a rage, a terrifying aura bursting from his whole body, endless and boundless, frightening to the extreme, crashing down toward Chen Fei.

At the side, the other Great Elder of Yan Zhen Sect, Deng Tianhong, also let out a cold snort and said, "As expected of a savage thing with no wisdom, not knowing what's good for it. Hmph, since this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame belongs to our Yan Zhen Sect and has now rebelled, then of course it should be taken back. Li Bingyun, Star Destroyer Monarch, let's just make our move and kill that brat, then take back that Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame."

"This is something of my Yan Zhen Sect. How can it fall into the hands of others, of outsiders? Wouldn't that be a joke?"

"Exactly!"

Star Destroyer Monarch also nodded, his face filled with a cold smile, brimming with the sinister satisfaction of revenge fulfilled. He said, "This Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame is no ordinary thing. Even if it has rebelled, it should still be taken back! It's extremely extraordinary and has great potential. I believe that when the Great Elders know of this, they will definitely support our decision."

Their Yan Zhen Sect had two Great Elders. One was the Supreme Great Elder, the other was the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, and both were existences of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm! Overwhelmingly Invincible, terrifying beyond compare.

The expressions of everyone present changed slightly. They felt disgusted, yet didn't dare show it. This Yan Zhen Sect was simply too shameless. It was clearly outright robbery, yet they still had to fabricate such nauseating excuses that made one want to gag and retch.

"Heh, so you're that worked up now?"

At this moment, Chen Fei once again let out a cold laugh. Strands of Qi of Purple Firmament gradually surged out from within his body, coiling around him. Crackle, crackle—one after another pinky-sized Thunder Ball formed and revolved around him. The scene was shocking and astonishing.

"I already gave you a chance just now. But now it seems you still insist on shamelessly trying to snatch by force? In that case, let's see the real deal with our hands. However, I guarantee you'll regret it."

Chen Fei said with a cold laugh.

"Regret? Just you, brat? Being too confident isn't always a good thing. Do you really think that just because you're young and have some strength, you're something special? That you have the capital to stand against the three of us? Ridiculous. For someone like you who doesn't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is, if you really dare oppose my Yan Zhen Sect, we'll just kill you and leave your corpse exposed here. What's the big deal? It'll be a perfect example of what happens to those who dare offend my Yan Zhen Sect!"

Deng Tianhong sneered. His words were filled with mockery and contempt.

Because although he knew Chen Fei's strength wasn't weak and had nearly reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, the problem was that their current lineup consisted of two genuine Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts, plus Star Destroyer Monarch.

The four of them joining forces—could they possibly fail to handle one snot-nosed brat? Laughable. How could that be!?

Boom!

Just then, all of a sudden, the temperature between heaven and earth seemed to drop sharply. From Li Bingyun's body to the side, a terrifying chill erupted, freezing to the marrow and making people's bones go numb.

"What's the point of wasting so many words with him? Just kill him. I, Li Bingyun, want to see what you think you are, daring to go against us and seeking your own death!?"

After speaking, Li Bingyun actually moved directly! He strode forward through the Void in great steps, his robes fluttering without wind. A powerful icy aura surged violently, pressing down toward Chen Fei.

"Thousand Ice Technique!"

Li Bingyun suddenly narrowed his eyes. His index and middle fingers merged together, as if pinching some incomparably powerful seal.

The next instant, with a deafening boom, behind him a small mountain of ice and snow appeared out of nowhere, incomparably massive, utterly freezing, as if in a blink it covered heaven and earth themselves, terrifying to the extreme! It pressed down toward the area where Chen Fei stood.

Obviously, although Li Bingyun was arrogant, the moment he struck he still very cautiously unleashed all of his power!

The Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm—within Ghost Wolf City, that could be considered top-tier combat power! Extremely terrifying.

Just like now, the moment that small-mountain-like icy peak appeared, quite a few people present went pale on the spot! Their expressions were filled with terror as the crowd stirred in panic.

"Run! The strength of an expert at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm is too strong. If we get caught in the aftershock, we'll definitely die…" someone shouted in horror, yet before he could finish, a wave of icy air swept over, freezing him into an ice sculpture.

Countless people felt their scalps go numb and their bones chill!

This was the power of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert? This was just… just too horrifying!?

"Petty tricks."

Yet seeing such a terrifying offensive, not only did Chen Fei show no trace of fear, he even smiled slightly in disdain. With his current strength, this level of attack really found it difficult to pose any threat to him.

Roar!

Immediately after, they saw the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart twist its body in the sky, transforming into a gigantic Flame Python, its colossal body wreathed in countless crackling violet Thunder Balls of Qi of Purple Firmament! It actually took the field in his stead and charged straight into the attack.

Boom!

That massive body slammed forward; the sky shuddered abruptly. The ice peak that had seemed incomparably terrifying in everyone's eyes actually halted, then began to melt at an astonishing speed.

"What? Beast, how dare you!?" Li Bingyun's face changed dramatically in an instant. He circulated the formidable Spiritual Energy of the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm within his body; Spiritual Energy surged, his aura terrifying and dazzling beyond compare.

The next moment, in the Void, a blazing, flamboyant palm of fire appeared out of thin air! It slapped down fiercely toward the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart.

That flame was none other than the Poisonous Spider Fire he had taken out earlier.

Roar!

Bam!

Yet in the very next second, his expression changed drastically again.

Because the Flame Python formed from the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart merely lifted its head to glance up at the sky in disdain, then opened its blood-filled maw wide. A suction force like a howling hurricane erupted from its mouth.

As for the latter—the fiery palm formed from the poison spider—within an instant it was snuffed out by the hurricane and devoured clean.

What!?

Pfft!

Li Bingyun's face shifted; his blood surged chaotically, and he almost coughed up blood from the backlash. His complexion turned deathly pale.

Clearly, he had never imagined that the power of this Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart would be so terrifying. The Poisonous Spider Fire he possessed was actually so vulnerable, so utterly worthless before the other party!?

But the more formidable this Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart was, the more excited and greedy he became.

The next instant, his eyes gleamed with greedy light as he barked sharply at the two behind him, Deng Tianhong and Star Destroyer Monarch: "Deng Tianhong, Star Destroyer Monarch, what are you still waiting for? Strike at once and kill that brat. I'll hold off this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame."

"Exactly what I wanted!" Star Destroyer Monarch laughed, his laughter hearty yet sinister. With a swish, his figure flashed and appeared around Chen Fei, lifting his head with a cold smirk. "Brat, weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Now that you've lost that flame, I want to see what qualifications you still have to act arrogant in front of me, Star Destroyer Monarch!?"

Swish!

"Indeed!"

Another figure flickered into existence. The other Great Elder of Yan Zhen Sect, Supreme Elder Deng Tianhong, appeared as well.

He and Star Destroyer Monarch positioned themselves at diagonals, sealing off every possible escape route for Chen Fei. Standing high above, eyes filled with disdain as he looked down on Chen Fei, he said, "Looks like without that Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame, you're nothing but trash. You can't stir up any more waves, can you?"

"Is that so?" Chen Fei's smile was neither quite a smile nor not, the Thunder Ball of Qi of Purple Firmament in his palm crackling bizarrely as he looked at the other party and said, "Why don't you try and find out!?"

"Hmph!" Seeing that Chen Fei still acted this way, still so arrogant, Deng Tianhong's expression darkened abruptly.

"Since you insist, then go to hell for me! Ignorant thing."

Deng Tianhong struck directly. The Ming Turtle Mirror erupted with terrifying ripples; in the next instant, a gigantic turtle phantom appeared across the heavens. Like a heavenly pillar, a colossal leg descended from the clouds and came crashing down!

Boom!

A terrifying aura locked onto Chen Fei, indescribably oppressive.
