Give Them To Me!

Duan Huai An’s voice was very soft. Hong Tao, who was at the side, could only vaguely hear something about Huaxia’s East Coin Lake, and did not think much of it.
He looked at Duan Huai An with disdain.
“The ramblings of a dead person… Hmph!”
Then, his gaze fell on Ye Chen and he smiled.
“Brat, if you had accepted the jade pendant and joined the Core Tower, I would have been helpless. However, you chose the path of death recklessly, so prepare yourself!”
Ye Chen’s gaze swept across the experts that had surrounded the stage.
The weakest was probably a saint realm cultivator, while the majority were saint king realm cultivators. There were even a few origin realm experts.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying Hong Tao’s power and influence in the Land of Slaughter was. It would be very difficult to break out by relying solely on his own strength.
However, no matter what, he had to get his master out of here. No one could stop him.
Focused, he no longer hesitated and took out the Sun-Splitting Sword.
He clenched his sword tightly in his hand, releasing cold killing intent.
At the same time, he took a few steps and stood in front of Duan Huai An to protect him.
“I really don’t want to attack you, but whoever dares to attack my master will be killed without mercy!”
His voice was infused with his true qi and echoed throughout the entire square.
After a short silence, bursts of laughter rang out!
Ye Chen’s threat was laughable. Killed without mercy?
Could this kid even injure them in the first place?
Was he trying to act cool in front of his master?
Everyone below the stage knew that the outcome was set in stone. This was Alchemy Master Hong’s territory, and he called the shots here.
Therefore, they naturally stood on Hong Tao’s side without hesitation.
This was how things worked in the Land of Slaughter.
So what if the masked young man won?
Morality, rules, fairness?
Such things did not matter in the Land of Slaughter, or even the Kunlun Mountains. Strength reigned supreme!
“That kid is probably an idiot. Even if his Alchemy Dao is heaven-defying, this has turned into a martial arts battle. His talent is useless now, and all he can do is wait to be slaughtered!”
“It’s a pity. With his talent, Alchemy Master Hong definitely won’t let him leave alive.”
“What use is talent in the Land of Slaughter! If he didn’t know how to judge the situation, the result would be the same if he encountered danger elsewhere!”
The crowd discussed animatedly. They felt that the masked young man’s actions and words were extremely laughable.
At this moment, Xiaoxuan was extremely nervous.
He had been watching from below the stage. He had not been optimistic about Ye Chen’s chances at all, and thought that Ye Chen would lose miserably in the first round!
What he did not expect was that Ye Chen had actually won both the first and second rounds in a domineering fashion. However, that shameless Hong Tao actually ignored the rules and now wanted to use force to change the outcome.
He was angry, but helpless. What else could he do now?
Even if the patriarch came, he might not be able to successfully bring Mr. Ye away!
He wanted to rush forward to help Ye Chen, but with his meager strength, doing so was undoubtedly courting death!
“What should I do?”
While Xiaoxuan was feeling nervous, Hong Tao spoke, “Kid, if you want to live, I can give you a chance!”
“Turn those flames of yours into ownerless flames and give them to me. Kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, and I might consider sparing your lowly life.”
Those flames were a priceless treasure!
No matter what he had to do, he had to get his hands on them, as they would allow his Alchemy Dao to take a giant leap forward!
Thinking that he was about to obtain those heaven-defying flames, Hong Tao became a little excited.
Would this kid refuse?
Of course not!
This was his only chance at survival.
With so many experts, no one could escape, especially not a weak transcendent realm cultivator.
Ye Chen’s cold gaze shot toward Hong Tao. The Immortal Flames condensed in his palm.
“You want my flames?”
Feeling the rising temperature in the surroundings, Hong Tao’s eyes revealed a greedy look as he nodded fiercely and said, “Yes! Hurry up! Give them to me! Remember to erase your mark!”
Ye Chen sneered. With a shake of his arm, the flames shot forth instantly!
“Since you want these flames, I’ll give them to you! However, let’s see if you can withstand them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the flames that shot out condensed into a fiery sword, which continued to expand until it was several hundred feet long.
The spiritual energy in the surroundings surged toward the fiery sword, which absorbed it to further strengthen itself.
One had to know that although the immortal flames were suited to alchemy, it was strongest when used in battle.
Hong Tao’s smile suddenly stiffened. He could sense that the flames had changed! They were no longer alchemical flames, but flames that exuded killing intent!
“Impossible!”
However, by the time that Hong Tao reacted, the fiery sword had already arrived in front of him!
Focusing himself, his fingers formed a seal, and a golden shield suddenly condensed in front of him.
As the two forces collided, powerful shockwaves swept out, knocking out bystanders who had come too close.
Kacha!
Hong Tao had never expected that his golden shield would suddenly shatter. His blood surged and his body retreated three to four steps!
His biggest mistake was the fact that he had underestimated Ye Chen!
He had never thought that an alchemical fire could kill people!
How did a transcendent realm cultivator unleash such power?
He had just steadied his body when he discovered another afterimage rapidly rushing over!
It was Ye Chen!
To capture the thief, one must first capture the king!
As long as he killed Hong Tao, those experts surrounding him would definitely be thrown into chaos. This was his chance!
At this moment, Ye Chen was circulating his cultivation technique, causing his aura to rise. At the same time, spiritual power flowed frantically into his dantian. Soon, his aura reached its peak!
The Azure Dragon Illusionary Body technique surged, and his figure flashed up and down like lightning!
“Tsk!”
A terrifying power engulfed him, and his sword intent surged into the sky!
“He’s been hiding his cultivation level? Damn it!”
After recovering from his shock, Hong Tao looked at the approach group.
In an instant, the energy in the surroundings changed, and the Life’s Origin Cauldron that was suspended in midair, floated in front of Hong Tao, protecting him.
At the same time, Hong Tao took out a scarlet sword, and with a flick of his wrist, the sword shot toward the sky!
Red light filled the sky as the two forces intersected, and the violent collision was deafening!
Shockwaves swept out in all directions, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Bang!
The two combatants suddenly separated, and Ye Chen took three steps back!
Hong Tao also retreated three steps!
After the first exchange, they were on the same page!
Upon seeing this, Duan Huai An’s aged body started to tremble as he clenched his fists tightly..
