"Miss, are you alright? Here, take this elixir!"
The elder took out a medicine bottle from his person, retrieved a white healing pill, and gave it to Shi Ruqian. Soon, her injuries got a lot better.
"Miss, your body is now out of danger, but you mustn’t recklessly use your True Qi and need to rest for a few days," the executive elder from the Fiery Flame Sect instructed Shi Ruqian.
"Mm, Executive Elder, you must catch that bastard for me, I want him to die a horrible death!" Shi Ruqian’s face twisted fiercely, her eyes flashing dangerously cold as she glared at Xiao Yifeng.
"Don’t worry, Miss, the Sect Master sent me here specifically to deal with this matter," the executive elder said indifferently, his gaze sweeping over to Xiao Yifeng. His weathered eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a cold glint, while an almost imperceptible aura emanated from him.
Xiao Han’s voice suddenly rang out as his figure also appeared at the scene.
"Third Uncle, why are you here?" Xiao Yifeng glanced at Xiao Han and asked.
"Knowing you were going to take on the Flame Gate, I made a point of hurrying over. You sure have some guts, lad, daring to make a move on the Flame Gate!" Xiao Han cast a glance at Xiao Yifeng.
"I said that the Flame Gate must be eradicated, and I will see it done!" Xiao Yifeng said coldly.
"Arrogant brat, today I’d like to see how you plan to eradicate the Flame Gate," the executive elder from the Fiery Flame Sect retorted disdainfully as he looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"This person must be from the Fiery Flame Sect. I am Xiao Han, Captain of China’s Dragon Thorn, and this is a secular dispute among them. I hope that, as a member of the Martial Arts World’s Fiery Flame Sect, you will refrain from intervening and disrupting the order," Xiao Han said, locking eyes with the executive elder.
"Disrupting the order?" The executive elder gave a cold laugh, waved his hand, and a terrifying palm imprint descended abruptly, sending Xiao Han, an expert at the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Condensation, flying.
Xiao Han’s body was sent flying three to four meters back, half-kneeling on the ground as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on his opponent as he gasped, "Half-Step Saint Realm!"
Evidently, the executive elder from the Fiery Flame Sect had reached the Half-Step Saint Realm; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to injure Xiao Han with a single strike.
Seeing Xiao Han injured, Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed as he quickly ran over, taking out a healing pill he had refined for him to consume.
"The sister of our Sect Master’s wife is the Lady of the Flame Gate, and now she has been injured by him. Do you think the Fiery Flame Sect should not concern itself with this matter?" the executive elder questioned coldly.
Xiao Yifeng replied with an icy expression, his eyes fixed on the executive elder as he said coldly, "But you should not have harmed my third uncle!"
"Whoever touches my woman shall die!"
"Whoever injures my kin shall die!"
Xiao Yifeng enunciated each word, his body exuding a tangible murderous intent that chilled to the bone.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Xiao Yifeng’s hands swept forward in a fierce gesture, and in an instant, four golden flying daggers shot towards the executive elder like lightning, resembling four golden meteors streaking across the void in the dark night.
These four flying daggers, carrying tremendous power, shot directly at the executive elder, their speed reaching the extreme.
As Yue Pengfei saw the four golden flying daggers, his face changed abruptly, and he yelled out fiercely.
And the executive elder, upon seeing the four daggers that were as fast as lightning, also had a concentrated look in his eyes.
A terrifying aura burst forth from him, like a tidal wave, releasing the might of someone half a step into the Saint Realm. An invisible force pressed down on the void around him.
Instantly, the speed of the four flying daggers slowed down as if suppressed by an invisible force.
Fiery Flame Technique!
The executive elder moved his hands in a seal, and a wave of intense heat rolled over his body, rushing towards the four flying daggers.
Xiao Yifeng’s brows furrowed tightly, as he struggled to control the daggers with his powerful spiritual strength, facing significant resistance.
Then, the four flying daggers scattered in all directions, and almost simultaneously, Xiao Yifeng brandished the Nine Dragons Seal.
"Nine Dragons Seal—Suppress!"
Xiao Yifeng shouted loudly, his Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art in full operation, as Starforce crazily poured into the Nine Dragons Seal. The seal rose into the air, shining with a golden light, unleashing an unrivaled oppressive force that enveloped the area.
Feeling the oppressive force from the Nine Dragons Seal, the executive elder of the Fiery Flame Sect narrowed his eyes, his body alight with a scorching energy aura.
The executive elder shouted loudly, and a fiery red true Qi burst forth, transforming into a Heaven-Lifting Palm Imprint that collided with the suppressing Nine Dragons Seal.
A series of explosive roars resonated, and endless waves of energy reverberated, obliterating the surrounding void currents.
The fiery red light and the golden light clashed against each other, illuminating the night’s void.
Xiao Yifeng spurted out a mouthful of blood and staggered back four or five steps.
Meanwhile, the executive elder also took several steps back, his complexion slightly flushed, and his breathing somewhat erratic.
By now, the fiery red palm imprint had extinguished, and the Nine Dragons Seal’s light had faded, returning into Xiao Yifeng.
To have the capability of pushing back a strong one at the pinnacle of the Gang Qi Realm, who had half a foot into the Saint Realm, was sufficient testimony to the power of the Nine Dragons Seal.
However, as someone half a step into the Entering Sanctity Realm is effectively one foot inside the Saint Realm, this person’s power was several times greater than that of a Qi Condensation Great Perfection expert; hence, the Nine Dragons Seal did not inflict significant damage on him.
"Boy, what kind of weapon is that Square Seal? Hand it over, and I can let you die without suffering!"
The executive elder’s gaze was fixed tightly on Xiao Yifeng, with a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.
Clearly, he coveted the Nine Dragons Seal; after all, such a powerful weapon would be desired by any Martial Arts Expert upon seeing it.
Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly, suddenly displaying the Soul-Capturing Eyes, with a purple halo flashing in his eyes.
In an instant, the executive elder’s body stiffened, his gaze becoming somewhat blurred as he was influenced by the Soul-Capturing Eyes.
Ice-Fire Pupils Technique!
Xiao Yifeng employed the Ice-Fire Pupils Technique once again, with one eye shooting out a bone-chilling blue light, and the other a blazing red light, forming two beams rushing towards the executive elder.
Just as the Ice-Fire Pupils Technique was about to hit the elder, a scorching flame energy burst forth from him, his eyes regaining focus, and a terrifying flame energy formed a barrier, blocking the two beams of pupil skill.
Xiao Yifeng once again used Soul Devouring, with blood-red vortexes swirling in his eyes, creating a terrifying devouring force.
When the executive elder of the Fiery Flame Sect saw the blood-red vortexes spinning in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, he immediately felt a thunderous boom in his mind, his brain filled with dizziness, and it seemed as though his soul was about to fly out.
