Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 237: Chapter 234: Yuwen Chi’s Killing Move, Tri-Colored True Flame

Yuwen Chi was wreathed in roaring flames. The terrifying heat wave turned the very air crimson.

”You, a defeated foe, dare to be so arrogant.”

Ning Jiang took a step forward, walking on thunderbolts. In the blink of an eye, he landed on the arena stage.

”As expected of a Thunder Attribute Cultivator. His speed is incredible.”

The crowd was secretly astonished. Ning Jiang hadn’t displayed such a technique in his previous battles.

”Today, I will wash away the shame of my last defeat with your blood.” Yuwen Chi’s eyes blazed with monstrous battle intent, and every pore of his body spewed flames.

He had prepared for this day’s battle for far too long.

No matter how powerful Ning Jiang was, today, he would make him fall before his flames.

”Enough talk. Let’s fight.”

Ning Jiang took a simple step forward. A torrent of thunderbolts erupted, shrouding him in Purple Thunder, rendering him impervious to all techniques.

”Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute. Both are known for their offensive power. This is going to be exciting.”

Amidst the crowd’s anticipation, the two on the stage moved at the same time.

”Take this!”

Yuwen Chi thrust out a palm. Flames surged and condensed, forming a giant fiery palm that smashed down from above.

”Break.”

Ning Jiang clenched his fist and struck. The Purple Thunder destroyed everything in its path, tearing the flaming palm apart.

”Great Flame Mountain!”

Their first exchange was a probe, but on the second move, Yuwen Chi directly unleashed a Great Divine Technique.

BOOM!

A volcano descended upon Ning Jiang’s head, carrying the might to suppress all directions and sweep through the world.

”The Great Flame Mountain Technique... In our Fire Cloud Sect, only the Sect Leader and three Elders have successfully cultivated it. I can’t believe Senior Brother Yuwen has mastered it as well.”

The volcano glowed crimson, like a meteorite crashing down.

The expressions of some nearby Martial Artists changed drastically. Their hair began to catch fire, unable to withstand the terrifying temperature.

”Thunder River.”

Ning Jiang threw a punch, and the Purple Thunder transformed into a roaring, surging river that clashed head-on with the massive flame mountain.

BANG—

A deafening sound erupted in all directions. The fierce collision of flame and thunder kicked up a terrifying storm.

With the two of them at the center, one side was a sea of rolling flames, the other a torrent of brilliant thunderbolts.

”Fire Dragon Bite!”

Amidst the collision, Yuwen Chi’s hands formed seals, creating a talisman. He then bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which merged with the flames.

CRACKLE.

In that instant, the flames surged, and a massive Fire Dragon slowly took shape.

This Fire Dragon was a thousand feet long, its body as colossal as a mountain, exuding an immense, oppressive pressure.

”Go.”

Yuwen Chi directed it with a Magic Formula. The Fire Dragon roared and charged toward Ning Jiang. It opened its massive maw, and for a moment, the world fell silent. Then, a blast of incomparably brilliant flame shot out from its mouth.

”If this were a real dragon that commanded flames, I might have kept my distance. But a mere Martial Technique? What’s there to be afraid of?”

Ning Jiang let out a long cry, his entire body submerged in thunderbolts.

CRACKLE!

The world flashed brightly. He stomped his feet on the stage, launched himself into the sky, and met the flames head-on.

BOOM!

As the two attacks collided, Ning Jiang’s power effortlessly annihilated the flames. He broke through its defenses like a hot knife through butter, closing in on the Fire Dragon and throwing a vicious punch.

This punch was like a thousand thunderclaps exploding at once. The sound was immense, its force unstoppable. It shattered the Fire Dragon in a single blow.

’Sure enough, his strength has increased considerably.’

Sensing Ning Jiang’s power, a grave expression appeared on Yuwen Chi’s face.

Compared to their last fight, the current Ning Jiang was clearly far more powerful. Even he was alarmed by the aura he now possessed.

”Hmph, so what if you’ve gotten stronger? My strength has had a breakthrough as well.”

Yuwen Chi’s confidence was not shaken. He believed he could definitely defeat Ning Jiang.

”Furious Fire Lotus.”

With a grasping motion of his hands, three flame lotuses slowly appeared. They were the size of human heads, beautiful and exquisite.

The conditions for cultivating this Furious Fire Lotus Technique were extremely demanding. First, one had to find a volcano and then spend an entire month continuously absorbing its power to succeed.

In their previous battle, the Furious Fire Lotus had been Yuwen Chi’s killing move.

But this time, seeing Yuwen Chi so easily conjure three Furious Fire Lotuses, it was clear his strength had increased significantly. Moreover, he surely had other trump cards up his sleeve.

”Go.”

Yuwen Chi pushed with both hands, and the flame lotuses spun silently toward Ning Jiang.

”Yuwen Chi, show me what you’ve really got. This move couldn’t beat me last time, so what good is it now?”

As Ning Jiang spoke, he threw three punches. Three Thunder Rivers surged forth, rumbling magnificently.

The two killing moves collided and annihilated each other.

”Since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll oblige you! Ning Jiang, I’ll let you witness the killing move I prepared especially for you!”

Yuwen Chi took a deep breath. Immediately, wisps of flame began to spread from his hands.

Astonishingly, a red flame appeared in his left hand, and a blue flame in his right. Finally, he opened his mouth and spat out a yellow flame.

”How is that possible? That’s the Tri-Colored True Flame! Senior Brother Yuwen actually managed to cultivate this technique!”

”Within the entire Sect, the only one who has mastered this technique is the Sect Leader! It’s said that cultivating it is incredibly perilous because the Tri-Colored True Flame is linked to a person’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit. The slightest deviation will cause one to be consumed by their own flames.”

”That’s right. The Tri-Colored True Flame is practically a Forbidden Technique in the Fire Cloud Sect, not available to disciples. Many in our Sect have tried to cultivate this Technique in the past, only to suffer from cultivation deviation and be reduced to ashes.”

The ones who were most shocked were the numerous disciples and Elders of the Fire Cloud Sect.

As members of the Fire Cloud Sect, they knew all too well how terrifying this technique was. It was a Forbidden Technique that even many of the Elders dared not cultivate.

”I can’t believe Senior Brother Yuwen mastered the Tri-Colored True Flame! With this technique, Ning Jiang is sure to be defeated!”

”Hahaha, I can’t wait to see the looks on the Yanyue Sect’s faces when Ning Jiang is defeated!”

Everyone was overjoyed. When Ning Jiang had first stepped into the Nine-Miles Region, the people of the Fire Cloud Sect hadn’t been certain that Yuwen Chi could defeat him. But now that the Tri-Colored True Flame had appeared, their confidence soared.

”The Ninth Elder is in danger now.” Grand Elder Meng Nanfeng’s expression was grave.

”Grand Elder, I’ve also heard of this Tri-Colored True Flame. Is it really as powerful as the rumors say?” Zi Yunfei asked doubtfully.

”Powerful doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s terrifying,” Meng Nanfeng said slowly. ”Once, an Elder from the Fire Cloud Sect who had cultivated the Tri-Colored True Flame was ambushed. In the end, he used the Tri-Colored True Flame to take five Martial Artists of the same rank down with him.”

”What? One against five?”

Zi Yunfei was shocked. Even though it ended in mutual destruction, it was still a case of one fighting against many!

”Now, all we can do is trust in the Ninth Elder!”

Meng Nanfeng slowly let out a breath, his fists clenching unconsciously.

”Ning Jiang, enjoy this.”

A smirk played on Yuwen Chi’s lips. The Tri-Colored Flames merged, and a moment later, they transformed into a beautiful, bewitching Tri-Colored Fire Lotus.

Then, with a toss of his hand, the Tri-Colored Fire Lotus turned into a streak of fire and spun toward Ning Jiang.

As it spun, the petals of the Fire Lotus slowly bloomed, gradually releasing a destructive power.
