Chapter 1590: Devouring Flame Domain
After putting on the armor, Qingping Fairy carefully observed the area above the canyon. A grave expression crossed her face as she asked softly, "Ling Feng, how are you planning to get into the canyon?"
In her view, sneaking into the canyon under the eyes of seventy or eighty guards was nearly impossible.
And even if they succeeded, once discovered below, nearly a hundred Blood Shadow Alliance disciples would descend in an instant. Even Ling Feng would likely die without burial.
A sharp glint flashed across Ling Feng's lips. "Who said anything about sneaking in? If we're going in, we go in openly."
"But they..." Qingping Fairy said, confused.
"Kill them, obviously. Why show them courtesy?"
The Despicable Donkey bared his teeth in a grin. Everyone's elemental force was suppressed here. Although the Blood Shadow Alliance disciples still had blood flame and blood lightning to protect them, those Human Emperor level disciples posed no threat to him at all.
As for Ling Feng, he was a monster among monsters. In terms of physical strength, he was even stronger than the Despicable Donkey, a genuine demonic beast.
"We end this quickly. No dragging it out."
A cold light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. The Blood Shadow Alliance had no doubt slaughtered countless disciples of Dongling Immortal Pool. He had no intention of showing mercy now.
Kill them?
Qingping Fairy stared at Ling Feng and the Despicable Donkey in disbelief. "Are you both insane? Just the two of you want to fight nearly a hundred people? What if you alert the Blood Shadow Alliance elders?"
Ling Feng smiled disdainfully. "Outside, that would be troublesome. In here, their elemental force is sealed just like ours. As for their blood lightning and blood flame, they are useless against me."
"Heh heh, useless against this divine beast too!"
The Despicable Donkey grinned widely. After consuming the Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill, his bloodline had mutated. His scales were not merely for show. Though they might not rival true dragons, they were certainly comparable to the demon jiao race.
"Then let's see who kills more."
Ling Feng laughed coldly, murderous intent blazing in his eyes.
"Y-You're both mad!"
Qingping Fairy covered her lips with one hand, her face full of shock.
"Keep your eyes open and watch."
Ling Feng turned to the Despicable Donkey. "Left side is mine. Right side is yours. Fast and clean."
"Heh heh, this divine beast has been itching for a fight!"
The Despicable Donkey rubbed his hooves together eagerly.
...
Meanwhile, outside the canyon, a contingent of Blood Shadow Alliance disciples guarded the exits tightly, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
Several patrol teams moved continuously along the canyon's edge, covering every blind spot.
Leading one of those teams was none other than Tianzhao, the Blood Shadow Alliance disciple who had narrowly escaped death at Ling Feng's hands on the outskirts of Dongxianchuan.
Beside him stood another Blood Shadow Alliance disciple, an early Great Emperor named Tie Hong. His expression was grim as he asked, "Senior Brother Tianzhao, quite a few of our people have died on the outskirts these past few days, and most were killed in a single blow. Could it be that brat who slew Hall Master Di Xiu?"
Tianzhao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "It can only be him. Only that bastard possesses such monstrous strength. In this Forbidden Divine Domain, only he could slaughter our Human Emperor disciples so easily!"
"It seems we should report to the elders immediately and send stronger experts to hunt him down."
Tianzhao's face darkened. "Wait, Junior Brother Tie. It has been several days. He has likely changed locations by now. Sending the elders would be pointless. Besides, the elders are occupied suppressing Dongling Immortal Pool's higher-ups. Those old bastards are still resisting stubbornly. The elders have no time to spare."
"Are we just going to let that brat keep killing our people?" Tie Hong frowned deeply.
"If only he had arrived a few days earlier. Then we could have trapped him in the formation beneath the mine vein and seen how long he could keep acting arrogant!"
Tianzhao clenched his fists tightly. Had Di Xiu not held Ling Feng off for a moment that day, Tianzhao himself would have died as well.
"Let us hope Elder Yuan and the others finish off Dongling Immortal Pool's higher-ups soon and retrieve the item the Alliance Leader wants," Tie Hong said gravely.
"Hmph. No matter how powerful that old woman Hui Yue Saint Lady is, she is at the end of her strength. Nothing to worry about."
Tianzhao snorted coldly. "As for Ling Feng, hmph. If I see him again, his death day will have arrived!"
"Senior Brother Tianzhao, you joke too much. Even if that brat had ten times the courage, he would never dare show himself here. Hahaha!"
Tie Hong burst into laughter. The canyon was filled with Blood Shadow Alliance members. If Ling Feng dared appear, only death awaited him.
Sshk!
At that moment, a faint sound entered their ears.
Thump!
Tianzhao's heart suddenly contracted. Agonizing pain spread from his chest.
His blood ran backward, numbing his entire body. His limbs froze. Even his fingers could not move. Only his eyes still turned.
It was the feeling of being locked onto by death itself.
"Oh? If I appear before you, what exactly will you do?"
A mocking voice whispered into his ear. Tianzhao's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Li... Ling... Ling Feng!"
Who else could it be?
And behind him, he was even carrying a young woman on his back!
Tie Hong, the Blood Shadow Alliance Great Emperor, immediately drew his weapon and roared, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Yet everyone seemed frozen in place.
In the next instant, screams erupted as more than a dozen disciples burst into raging flames.
That terrifying fire reduced those Great Emperor experts to ashes in mere blinks.
At the same time, a black shadow darted through the crowd. Accompanied by endless screams, Blood Shadow Alliance disciples collapsed one after another into pools of blood, each clutching their groin in their final moments.
Melon-Smashing Fist. Not something one survives lightly.
"H-How is this possible?! This is the Forbidden Divine Domain! How can you still use elemental force?!"
Tianzhao and Tie Hong were terrified beyond measure. The entire area seemed filled with a tyrannical power of flame, as if everything within space itself would be ignited.
"No, no, no. This is not flame formed from fire elemental force."
Ling Feng looked at them coldly.
"This is flame that exists beyond the laws of the Xuanling Continent."
Without another word, he threw a punch.
Boom!
Both heads exploded into powder.
Blood and flesh sprayed through the air. Before their corpses even hit the ground, the Devouring Flame engulfed them and reduced them to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"So the Devouring Flame is this powerful?"
Ling Feng raised a brow. Outside this place, Human Emperors and Great Emperors could at least resist its power somewhat by circulating elemental force. But within the Forbidden Divine Domain, where the Devouring Flame was unaffected by suppression, it became an instant-kill weapon against all.
The next moment, Ling Feng's body swayed slightly.
A wave of weakness surged through him. The fire seed of the Devouring Flame had consumed nearly half its power from that single move.
"So that is how it is."
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes.
"Inside the Forbidden Divine Domain, I cannot use elemental force. Though the Devouring Flame is unaffected by the suppression, without elemental force to replenish it, every use permanently depletes it."
"I'll have to conserve it carefully."
