I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 790: Chapter Eighty-Four: Dividing Jade

“What is there that I, the king, will not dare to do!?” Zhu roar laughed wildly, “Zhu Liu, Zhu Ang, if today I die in this battle, carry a message to Mr. Fan. Tell him, the future of Flame Flying City, I leave to him!”

The two commanders of Flying Flame City accepted their orders and left, leaving Gong Quan glaring with murderous intent.

“It seems you are aware of your limited time and have come prepared to die attempting to take my life!?” Gong Quan said coldly, “Madman, a real madman!”

“So what if I am?” Zhu Xie roared with laughter, “First, kill the prosperous Spirit King, then wipe out Hanwater village. With vast amounts of Divine Jade, the future regions around Hanwater River will regard the Flame Flying City with respect. How exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!”

Gong Quan, tired of Zhu Xie’s madness, fixed a cold gaze on him. As he raised his right hand, the divine seal exploded with unparalleled radiance. Ghostly energy surged from the heavenly and earthly realms, rushing towards the frigid boundary, making the eerie ghost figures appearing behind him appear even more dreadfully vicious with the power of the underworld.

“If you want my life, let’s see if you have the resources for it!”

Seeing the apparitions reinforced with ghostly spirits, Zhu was not scared but rather excited. For him, this was the exhilaration of facing a worthy adversary, “I have long anticipated experiencing the underworld’s famed Ghostly Minion. I want to see if the underworld ghost first freezes my Divine Flame Totem, or if the blazing sacred flame burns the Ghostly Minion to ashes!”

As a true warrior, he had always believed that whether his life ended in a bed or by burning his heart into a puff of smoke wasn’t living up to his extraordinary skills. Only a fearless life-and-death battle should be the final destination for the lord of Flame Flying City!

“Such arrogant talk.” Gong Quan said coldly, reinforced by frost-covered backdrops, the gathering speed and power of the underworld’s energy, he didn’t believe the Divine Flame Totem alone could break his matchless skill.

He slashes down with his raised right hand towards Zhu Xie, just like a king leading vast armies waving his battle flag. Behind him, numerous ice-ghosts become incredibly furious, pouncing towards the men of Flame Flying City.

Undeterred by the onslaught of ghosts, Zhu Xie bravely raises his right arm. Behind him, the countless divine symbols light up the totem pole and explode with dazzling Divine Light, illuminating against the divine seal.

This Divine Light was extremely yang, the natural nemesis to ghostly beings. It illuminated them into desolate cries and howls, but did not disperse them into smoke.

The wounded ghosts revealed their fierce nature and their speed increased threefold. The claw armed with ghostly spirit was nearly touching Zhu Xie’s nose.

The dark blue ghostly flame exploded, evaporating the claw along with the ghost. Zhu Xie showed a calm expression, cradling the massive totem pole in his arms, waving it towards the ghosts.

The first wave attack of the underworld ghost dexterity was cleared after a tough battle, and hundreds of divine symbols were broken on Zhu Xie’s totem pole. The previously blazing flame of the Divine Totem held traces of underworld chillness like maggots clinging to a bone that ebbed away at the flame

To merely sweep away one hundred demon ghosts, the Divine Flame Totem seemed to have to endure irreversible damage, and within that underworld shadow, such ghosts still numbered in the thousands, and continued to increase with the convergence of underworld energy.noveldrama

Zhu Xie knew that with ordinary methods, it was hard to break through the underworld avatar, strengthened by the frigid region. However, as a dying Spirit King, he had methods to make himself shine!

Forcefully planting the Divine Flame Totem into the ground, Zhu Xie falls to one knee on the top of the Totem, his right palm placed above the Totem, reciting an incantation. “Eternal flame of the four heavens and earth that never cease to burn, I call upon you with my blood! Come forth and attach yourself to this totem, purify the world of all evils!”

“Joyful Fire Spirit, gather around me and lend me your formidable power momentarily! For my pure blood, embody the totem and transform into a flaming king, purifying everything before us!”

The Divine Flame Totem exploded, turning into a Flame Sovereign ablaze with a ghostly flame. The raging fire encouraged the formation of a crown, transformed with a vicious fiery voice. The king’s roar echoed like ceaseless volcanos from the deepest level of hell.

An immense anger was engulfing the heavens and earth, a fight induced by the Flame King perceiving the bane of his existence, the extreme cold. Wielding the scarlet RedLotus blade, he charges towards the underworld avatar. His flame looked as if it was tearing through the frost.

“This thing dares to challenge my Underworld Ghost, it’s far from sufficient!” Gong Quan roared out, he returned an incantation, “The dormant Snow Demon God from the remote frigid region, I summon you to heed my call. The eternal ice of the four rulers of the heavens and earth! You who are the native land of the ice plains, bring yourself forth under the will of the underworld and split your being!”

The spell activated and the spirit words enlightened, an ice-encrusted throne suddenly appeared from within the underworld ghost shadow, with the shadow-master sitting upon it, adorned with the coronet of extreme cold.

Facing the fierce onslaught of the Flame King, the underworld master did not dodge but retaliated unflinchingly with a punch.

The azure-blue ghostly flame clashed with the grey-black void, the rumbling sound vibrating as if to tear apart the space. The RedLotus blade plunged into the body of the underworld master, while the master’s giant fist penetrated the flaming people’s chest.

After the blow, both legendary creatures roared until fading into nothingness, leaving Gong Quan panting heavily, and Zhu Xie’s face turning pale.

“If not for the reinforcement of the frost region, the underworld ghost master would have been killed by the wealth of Yuanyue Sovereign!” Zhu Xie endured the weakness of vast bleeding, he said to Gong Quan who sat in the ice butterfly with bitter resentment.

“There is no what if!” Gong Quan’s breathing recovered steadily, he coldly said to Zhu Xie “You’ve already lost. Retrieve the attack order from Hanwater village, I will share the Divine Jade in the valley with you in half. How does that sound?”

To fight or flee, this is the oldest wisdom of mankind, but the simplicity of this choice at this point is no longer sufficient.

Between forces and between warriors, it was often not just the case of winner takes all and loser loses all. Instead, they left some room for each other, giving each other some space.

This was neither a weakness nor hypocrisy, but a means of avoiding damaging the enemy without injuring oneself. Because if you deprive others of everything, others will retaliate fiercely.

Gong Quan had won, but still wanted to give up half of the Divine Jade in exchange for peace. This was because he knew that Hanwater village could not stand against the onslaught of the Flame’s army. He had brought all the real human masters out from the village, leaving only Gong Wang and Gong Yang, who were still seriously injured, leading a group of younger spirit-rearing realm people. They were like lambs to be slaughtered facing the mighty army of Flying Flame City.

“Heh, you old boy sure know how to negotiate.” Zhu Xie, who had lost a large amount of blood, indeed did not have the strength to continue to battle. Even if he made another sacrifice, the results would not vary.

I thought I could fight the thriving Gong Quan to death, but I didn’t expect to only dissipate a part of his lifeblood. This outcome led Zhu Xie to feel an inexplicable anger, “Eighty percent!”

He was resolute and uncompromising. The pale-faced Zhu Xie coldly said to Gong Quan, “I demand eighty percent of the Divine Jade in the storm, or I will not repeal the onslaught!”

“Eighty percent… fine, eighty percent!” Gong Quan gritted his teeth and accepted Zhu Xie’s condition, coldly instructing, “Call back Zhu Liu and Zhu Ang immediately!”
