Chapter 1178 - 238: Gray Fire’s Magnificent Counterattack
What is that?
On Ye Lingyue, who had already burned into a fireball, besides the purple flames, suddenly appeared another layer of flames of a different color.
Those flames emerged from within Ye Lingyue, appearing pale white, unnoticed against the purple flames, hard to see unless one looked closely.
Yue Mubai recalled hearing a few Artifact Refiners from Moon Peak mention that Ye Lingyue from the Refining Hall only had ordinary White Fire.
White Fire, not to mention a super sect from Qing Province Continent like Lonely Moon Sea, was far inferior to the fire seeds of even ordinary sects’ Artifact Refiners.
The White Fire that suddenly surfaced on Ye Lingyue must be her Spiritual Spark.
Could trivial White Fire dare to compare to his advanced Purple Fire?
Yue Mubai thought he saw the funniest joke in the world, but soon discovered Ye Lingyue’s White Fire was peculiar.
Initially weak, it was like the glow of a firefly, floating on Ye Lingyue’s skin.
It seemed it would be engulfed by the Purple Fire at any moment.
Yet as time passed, the strength of that White Fire gradually increased.
Like a swarm of insignificant white ants, it slowly devoured the advanced Purple Fire.
Moreover, as the Purple Fire weakened, the pale flames continued to intensify.
It grew brighter and abruptly, Ye Lingyue seemed bathed in the starlight of Yuehua, dazzlingly bright.
At this point, Fire Spirit Zi Yan, who had entered Ye Lingyue’s body, sensed something amiss.
"Mu, help me... please save me, this woman is devouring my spiritual body." Fire Spirit Zi Yan cried out in terror, its spiritual body gradually being devoured by the inconspicuous White Fire. "How, how can this be, I am Fire Spirit Zi Yan, how can I be devoured by White Fire..."
Her voice gradually faded away, even its last shred of spiritual sense was entirely swallowed by the domineering pale flames.
"Zi Yan, Zi Yan, what’s happening to you." Yue Mubai’s face twisted.
His heart felt as if stabbed by a knife, Fire Spirit Zi Yan held extraordinary significance to Yue Mubai; it was his Spiritual Spark and his lover.
He didn’t mind the frightening Gray Fire on Ye Lingyue and rushed forward.
Yue Mubai’s body suddenly became rigid.
In front of him, Ye Lingyue, bathed entirely in gray flames, with a cold expression, eyes filled with cold Evil Qi.
"You insignificant ant, to dare provoke the might of my Chaos Heavenly Fire, death is more than deserved."
Those eyes seemed to contain infinite strength.
Yue Mubai felt as if he had fallen into a chilly dungeon, unable to move.
He could only watch as Ye Lingyue, in gray flames, raised a slender jade finger, and as it fell, Yue Mubai’s body ignited with a bang.
Outside the arena, chaos erupted due to Fire Spirit Zi Yan’s flames, with people scrambling desperately to escape.
Huang Jun, Qin Xiaochuan, and others were shoved by the crowd toward the escape exit.
"Sixth Sister-in-law and Si Xiaochuan are still inside."
Qin Xiaochuan coughed violently, choked by the thick smoke.
He struggled to search for Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochuan among the crowd.
Just then, Si Xiaochuan, carried by a charred Elixir Puppet, dashed out.
"Xiao Chun, where’s Ling Yue?"
Huang Jun didn’t see Ye Lingyue, his face full of anxiety.
"Ling Yue told me to escape first, she’s still trapped inside."
"Let’s not panic, everyone, let’s figure out a way. There should be other exits inside the arena." Yuan Xing urged the crowd to remain calm despite the chaos.
Si Xiaochuan felt regretful amidst the confusion, four of them frantically searched for Ye Lingyue in the crowd, but there was no sign of her.
"We have to go back and save her. If Sixth Brother finds out Sixth Sister-in-law is trapped in the fire, he’ll definitely kill me."
Qin Xiaochuan blamed himself, all because he didn’t realize Yue Mubai’s betrayal sooner.
He’s simply a madman.
"Indeed, we must save Ling Yue." Si Xiaochuan and Huang Jun nodded, and the three of them rushed back against the flow of the crowd into the arena.
"You few, stop right there."
Qin Dong and several Heroic Society elites blocked the way of the three.
"The arena is sealed off, it’s a sea of fire inside, no one can escape. You are that Wu Wu Team guy? You’re lucky, the winner of this Underground Arena Competition is you, and the prize is yours alone. Kid, I respect you and Yuan Xing, why don’t you join Heroic Society and collaborate with me, I won’t shortchange you on benefits."
Despite the arena burning into a sea of flames, Qin Dong’s mood was quite good.
The Mu Huo Team lost, Wu Wu Team became the dark horse, although the armor creature from Wu Wu Team offended him earlier, but it also perished in the fire.
With Yuan Xing and Si Xiaochuan at hand, everything in the Huangquan City Underground Arena Competition will be under his control.
"Dream on, we will never collaborate with despicable people like you." Yuan Xing was full of indignation.
"Indeed, people from City Lord’s Mansion will never become henchmen of Heroic Society," Si Xiaochuan said angrily.
"You don’t have any choice. People, seize these few," Qin Dong ordered.
"Qin Dong, don’t push us too far," Yuan Xing and the others roared in anger, the four confronted each other.
Just then, several people emerged from the arena.
Among them were two presidents from Heroic Society and presidents from the three major commercial associations.
During the chaos, the two presidents escorted the three presidents out together.
Chairman Jin and others only realized then that Heroic Society’s new chairman was also in the arena.
Seeing Si Xiaochuan, Chairman Jin’s expression soured, this time, he spent a fortune to secure victory, unaware the earlier strong Mu Huo Team would lose.
With Wu Wu Team’s victory, he didn’t profit at all.
"Qin Dong, what are you doing, stop immediately."
Tan Su scolded sharply.
Qin Dong was shocked to see Tan Su and the president walk out.
"President, Vice President, why are you here?" Qin Dong was dumbfounded; he only knew earlier that the VIP room was booked by anonymous guests, but didn’t expect among them were two presidents.
"At this time, as the manager of the arena in Huangquan Branch, you should not be arguing with others; you should ensure all spectators and contestants leave smoothly." The president spoke displeased, not satisfied with Qin Dong’s performance today.
Tan Su’s face was also full of embarrassment; Qin Dong was her recommendation to the president, and Qin Dong’s incompetence was like a slap to her face.
"President, I was just about to fully evacuate the people, but these few intend to obstruct my work. Moreover, this guy named Yuan Xing previously disrupted the order in the arena, I was preparing to arrest them all."
Qin Dong shifted the blame to Yuan Xing and others.
