Chapter 395: Chapter 395 “Submit to Me

Valley Master Wu Cheng’s face was filled with shock as he gazed upon the vast sea of flames, forgetting to attack as he muttered to himself, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can there be someone in this world who can control such a colossal sea of flames? How terrifying must his spiritual power be?”

Yet, Li Xiaoyao did not grant him the chance to remain awestruck. With a mere thought, fiery dragons began soaring out of the sea of flames, lunging towards the elders below.

The flame-formed dragons were lifelike; each of their scales reflected a condensed luster under the illumination of the flames. This intricate detail further attested to the horror of Li Xiaoyao’s spiritual power.

The many who had come to ask for medicine stood at a distance, their mouths agape in disbelief as they watched the people from Medicine God Valley being instantaneously engulfed by the flames.

“Is this still a human?”

“Controlling flames, that’s an ability said to belong to the Fire God in myths and legends!”

“Roar!”

The fiery dragons, roaring as they charged downward, made the group of elders dare not hold back, each manipulating flames in an attempt to resist.

Yet as soon as they released their nascent fire sources, they felt an irresistible pressure; the flames in the palms of their hands trembled meekly, as if they were in the presence of a Venerable being, lacking any will to resist.

The elders’ faces were filled with terror. Suddenly, one of them seemed to guess something and exclaimed, “That’s not beast fire, it’s divine fire!”

“When divine fire appears, all fires pay homage! It’s divine fire, definitely divine fire!”

Upon hearing the words “divine fire,” everyone’s faces turned ashen.

As alchemists, they were all too aware of the terror of divine fire. For each alchemist, the ultimate goal was to one day subdue a wisp of divine fire.

Yet for many years, they had never heard of any cultivator who had been able to make divine fire their own. Perhaps only the legendary Fire God Gong Gong and Taishang Laojun could do so.

However, the man before them now possessed a wisp of divine fire. Although it was impossible to discern the specifics of the divine fire amidst the sea of flames, the fact that it could suppress their nascent fire sources and leave them unable to resist pointed to no other possibility than divine fire.

The people felt almost hopeless at heart. Battling an alchemist who possessed divine fire meant that even if their cultivation levels were higher than his, they definitely were no match for him.

In alchemist confrontations, flames were the only trump card; whoever had the more powerful flames and spiritual power would gain an absolute advantage. The so-called ‘overwhelming power dominating skills’—even if their fire control techniques were exquisite, they would only face defeat before absolute power.

“Bang!”

The fiery dragons collided with the bodies of the elders, the scorching flames and immense force causing their blood to churn, their bodies flung back powerlessly like falling kites.

Wu Cheng barely resisted the attack and, seizing the interval before Li Xiaoyao’s second strike, he cried out loudly, “We were blind to Mount Tai; please, senior, spare our lives.”

Li Xiaoyao looked at him coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion, “I gave you chances, but you did not cherish them. I am a cultivator of the righteous path, subjected to your insults. How can I let this pass?”

Wu Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “Senior, we apologize for our transgressions, ignorant of your esteemed status. If we have offended you, we beg your forgiveness. We are willing to offer you medicinal materials for your selection as atonement.”

“Your capital crimes may be spared,” Li Xiaoyao’s words let Wu Cheng and the others breathe a sigh of relief, but the next sentence furrowed their brows.

Li Xiaoyao pointed to Zhang Fu and the gatekeeper, “Let these two individuals end their own lives before me, and I will not hold the past against you.”

The gatekeeper, trembling with fear, immediately knelt before Wu Cheng, “Valley Master, save me.”

Zhang Fu’s lips trembled as well as he knelt directly before Li Xiaoyao, “Senior, please spare my life. I was foolish and blind, please show your magnanimity and let me off.”

Wu Cheng felt a surge of anger. Such demands from Li Xiaoyao were a direct humiliation to Medicine God Valley. If he compromised, how could he hold any status in Medicine God Valley in the future?

“Senior, since they have already apologized…”

Li Xiaoyao directly interrupted Wu Cheng before he could finish, and said, “They die, or I kill you all!”

Wu Cheng’s chest heaved with anger nearly reaching its peak, while the gatekeeper and Zhang Fu were surrounded by fear.

From Li Xiaoyao’s words, they heard an unmistakable intent to kill.

The fiery sea boiled in the sky, almost igniting the heavens; even with Wu Cheng’s strong cultivation level, he felt overcome by a sense of powerlessness in the face of such a terrifying inferno.

Zhang Fu saw the hesitation on Wu Cheng’s face and knew that in the end, he would definitely compromise. With his heart set on such despairing thoughts, Zhang Fu suddenly propelled himself from the ground, turning into a residual shadow as he lurched towards Li Xiaoyao.

“Die!” In that instant, Zhang Fu released all his power, his Fifth Rank Abstinence Realm cultivation level bursting forth to the fullest in that moment.

Even Wu Cheng had not expected such a sudden turn of events.

Watching Zhang Fu’s rapidly approaching figure, Wu Cheng and the others harbored a sliver of hope, wishing that Zhang Fu could kill Li Xiaoyao in this surprise attack.@@novelbin@@

But they were clearly disappointed, as Zhang Fu, a mere Fifth Rank in the Abstinence Realm, even with all his might, was no match for Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level had long since reached the Ninth Rank of the Abstinence Realm, and he had even slain a First Rank Golden Core Realm cultivator before, let alone Zhang Fu?

“Die!” Li Xiaoyao’s gaze hardened, his killing intent fully revealed, as he raised a finger and pointed into the void. A beam of golden light shot out from the tip of his finger, piercing through Zhang Fu’s brow.

This golden light passed through Zhang Fu’s forehead, drawing a trail of blood, leaving his eyes devoid of life as his body fell powerlessly from mid-air.

“Bang!”

The body hit the ground, and a flame leaped out from the sea of fire, wrapping around Zhang Fu’s body. In an instant, he was reduced to ash, as if he had never existed.

This ruthlessly efficient method of killing caused everyone’s eyelids to twitch violently. The gatekeeper was so frightened that his body went limp on the ground, motionless.

Those eyes filled with murderous intent scanned over everyone’s faces before suddenly lifting a hand, shooting a wisp of flame toward the gatekeeper. Sparks quickly spread across his entire body from his chest, and before he could react, he had become a man on fire.

Screams of terror and misery continuously erupted from his mouth, unsettling to the core.

“Valley Master, save me, save me, ah!”

The burning lasted for over ten seconds, and the gatekeeper was burned alive to ash, leaving not even a speck of his bones.

Witnessing the deaths of the two men right before his eyes, Wu Cheng dared not even utter a word.

Li Xiaoyao was simply too terrifying; his killings were decisive, dictating who would live and die without giving them any chance to fight back.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Wu Cheng said, “Senior, these two are dead now; can you spare the rest of us?”

“I’ve said it before, the death penalty can be spared, but the punishment for living cannot be avoided.”

“You’ve already killed them, what more do you want now?” Wu Cheng looked at him angrily, ready to resist to the death if Li Xiaoyao intended to kill any more.

Li Xiaoyao dusted off his chest and indifferently said, “What I want is for your Medicine God Valley to submit to me.”
