Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Chaos Fire Disaster (2)

The orange fireball formed by the Chaos Fire Illusion didn’t explode.

In truth, the Chaos Fire Divine Technique at the Great Success stage would never explode. This was because all the Spirit Fire had fused into one, its power brought under absolute control.

Explosions are caused by unstable power.

Moreover, an attack method like an explosion would cause the power to disperse randomly, preventing it from inflicting effective damage.

The moment Qu Ao sensed the danger, he immediately channeled all his Cultivation to conjure a massive Void Protection Shield in front of him.

However, before the small orange fireball, the Void Protection Shield was like a sheet of paper. A hole was burned through it with ease, and the orange fireball slammed into his Protective Gang Qi.

It was like a spark hitting a barrel of gasoline.

BOOM!

The orange fireball traveled along the Protective Gang Qi, seeping into Qu Ao’s pores. It sank into his flesh and blood, his meridians and bones, his internal organs, and burrowed deep into his very soul.

In a mere instant, Qu Ao was transformed into an orange fireball.

"Aaaah!"

A blood-curdling scream echoed throughout the entire Arena of the Stars.

The wretched cry sounded like that of a dying beast.

The cheers in the Arena of the Stars died down. The sound was simply horrifying.

Many of the young noblewomen covered their eyes.

The sight was too gruesome.

In the VIP section, among the nobles of the Shituo Empire, the expression of an old nobleman in a black robe changed drastically. His figure flickered, and in the next instant, he appeared on the stage with a thunderous presence.

"My son! I am here to save you!" he roared in a panicked fury. He thrust a hand toward Qu Ao, and a vast power surged forth. In an instant, all of the orange flames were forcibly ripped from Qu Ao’s body.

Qu Ao’s body was now half-blackened, charred on the outside and cooked on the inside. He looked like neither human nor ghost.

"Father!" Qu Ao came to his senses. He looked at the nobleman in the black robe, stunned for a moment. When his gaze fell upon Qin Feng in the distance, his already-charred face twisted in a horrific grimace.

"Qin Feng, I’ll kill you!"

Seeing the flames on Qu Ao disappear, Qu Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with palpable killing intent. "Calm down, my son," he said. "This little bastard dared to harm you, and the Duke You Mansion will not let him off lightly. First, take this Elixir and focus on healing your injuries!"

"Heal his injuries? He won’t be healing from this. No one can save him today!" Qin Feng sneered. ’How could anyone hit by the Chaos Fire Disaster be saved so easily?’

The Chaos Fire Disaster possessed not only the power of Flame, but also the esoteric power of Calamity.

Once struck by the Chaos Fire Disaster, the Chaos Fire would seep into one’s organs, and even into the depths of their soul. Although this powerful expert in the black robe had managed to extract the Calamity flames from Qu Ao’s organs in one go, he could not extract the lingering Calamity fire that coiled in the depths of Qu Ao’s soul.

Ordinarily, this Calamity fire wouldn’t have killed Qu Ao immediately. However, Qu Ao had just given in to his own senseless rage, and in that moment, the Calamity fire deep within his soul was reignited.

BOOM!

Flames suddenly erupted from Qu Ao’s seven orifices. A single spark can start a fire that blinds the eye. Countless flames began to feed on Qu Ao’s life force—his essence, qi, and spirit—and burned with accelerating ferocity.

The nobleman in the black robe’s expression changed. He grabbed again, pulling out another ball of fire, but it was useless. The Calamity fire erupted from Qu Ao’s body once more, engulfing him completely.

The black-robed nobleman, both shocked and furious, spun around. His gaze locked onto Qin Feng as he roared.

"You brat, what have you done?!"

An immense pressure bore down on Qin Feng. Pinned by that gaze, he felt as if he were being watched by some ancient, ferocious Fierce Beast.

Every muscle in his body seized, rendering him immobile. The thick stench of death filled his senses.

The next moment, the pressure vanished. A figure in a white robe had appeared silently in front of Qin Feng, and a stern, authoritative voice rang out.

"Qu Jiuyou, what do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to violate the rules of the Star Martial Arts Assembly and provoke the Star Sect?!"

This was a middle-aged man wearing a tall cap and a wide sash. He carried himself with an air of scholarly elegance and authority. The moment he appeared, an immense pressure crashed down upon Qu Jiuyou.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

Qu Jiuyou stumbled back three steps. He lifted his head, a savage look flashing across his face. At that exact moment, Qu Ao’s body turned to ash, completely consumed by the orange fireball.

Qu Jiuyou’s body trembled violently, and a thick vein bulged on his forehead.

CRACKLE! POP!

A sound like popping soybeans came from Qu Jiuyou’s body. An incredibly vicious aura swirled in the black-robed nobleman’s eyes.

HUFF! HUFF!

His chest heaved violently. Qin Feng had no doubt that the man was about to erupt.

Qu Jiuyou spoke, enunciating each word. "Ouyang Xu, you dare stand in my way!"

The middle-aged man in white frowned and said earnestly, "Brother Qu, I hope you won’t violate the rules of the Star Martial Arts Assembly!"

Thunderous fury blazed in Qu Jiuyou’s eyes. "My son is dead, and you dare speak to me of rules!"

"And why not? Your son killed a genius from our All Stars Academy. Does that mean no one is allowed to kill him in return?" Qin Feng’s detached voice drifted over.

"You little animal..." Seeing Qin Feng speak, Qu Jiuyou’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. A black Divine Light began to surge from his body.

Just then, an invisible force manifested in the Void, effortlessly suppressing Qu Jiuyou.

A majestic middle-aged man wearing a four-clawed golden Dragon Python Robe appeared on the stage. "Duke You, calm yourself!"

The voice was like a bucket of cold water dumped over Qu Jiuyou. He sobered up instantly. Looking at the figure, Qu Jiuyou shuddered and stepped aside.

"Eight Virtuous Prince! This old servant..."

"Enough. There’s no need to say more. Now that your head is clear, don’t make a fool of yourself here." After speaking, the Eight Virtuous Prince gave Qin Feng a passing glance. A chill ran down Qin Feng’s spine.

Without a sound, the Eight Virtuous Prince’s figure vanished.

Qu Jiuyou lifted his head and glanced at the spot where Qu Ao had vanished. His eyes were like those of a tiger that had lost its cub, a terrifying killing intent shining through his madness.

He turned, gave Qin Feng one last profound look, and then spun around and departed.

The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth twitched. ’He had actually been trying to provoke the man into attacking.’ The man had just lost his beloved son and was in a state of emotional imbalance. It had been the perfect opportunity. He had even used the Heavenly Demon Chaos God Technique to enrage Qu Jiuyou.

’If Qu Jiuyou couldn’t resist attacking, this expert from the Star Sect would have had a legitimate reason to kill him.’

’But he hadn’t expected that terrifying existence, the Eight Virtuous Prince, to suddenly appear.’

’What a shame. That was a perfect opportunity to eliminate a hidden threat,’ Qin Feng thought with regret.

The middle-aged man in the white robe turned to look at Qin Feng, sizing him up with a peculiar expression in his eyes.

"Qin Feng, you’re quite something. Cunning enough, and bold enough to even try and use me in your scheme. But if you ever dare to plot against me again, don’t blame this old man for teaching you a harsh lesson!"

Qin Feng gave an awkward smile. The middle-aged man in white had clearly detected his use of the Celestial Demon technique.

"Still, it is a shame about this time," the middle-aged man in white sighed, also feeling a sense of regret. If he could have killed Duke You, Qu Jiuyou, in one fell swoop, it would have been a significant blow to the Shituo Empire.

"Kid, you killed Qu Ao today, so watch your back. Qu Ao was the successor chosen by Qu Jiuyou, the next Duke You. Qu Jiuyou will not let this go. You’d best be careful."
