Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

(Ahem! That old man forgot to say just now.)
Just when Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo were at a loss, the voice of the ancient Bodhi tree suddenly rang in their hearts.

(Those two, although they are fighting fiercely now, their feelings for each other in the past were not fake. In simple terms, they can kill each other with their own hands, but they will never allow others to do it to each other.)
You should have told me such important information earlier!!!
Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo couldn't help but roar in their hearts. Looking at Zhong Meng and Liu Di who were standing on the same front in front of them, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts that the two people who had just been fighting to the death suddenly united to face the outside world.

You said that your relationship is pretty good, right? What the hell!
However, Liu Di didn't care what Xiao Yan was thinking. He instantly turned into a residual shadow, and Yao Tianhuo also reacted in an instant.

"Xiao Yan! Come back to your senses!"

!!!

Xiao Yan woke up suddenly, and Liu Di's figure had already appeared, piercing Xiao Yan's heart with one blow!
"Ok?"

Liu Di raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Yan's body that had turned into strange fire. At this time, Yao Tianhuo also held the Lihuo Blade and chopped down at Liu Di's arm. Just when it was about to touch Liu Di, Zhong Meng suddenly flashed over, with tremendous energy surging in his jade hand, and blasted towards Yao Tianhuo fiercely.

【Lihuo Jieyi】

Yao Tianhuo had no choice but to stop the attack. A raging flame instantly burst out from his body and wrapped around his body. The extremely high-temperature flame condensed to the extreme burned half of the energy that Zhong Meng had blasted out. However, he was still inevitably knocked hundreds of meters away by the remaining force and barely managed to stabilize his body.

On this side, Xiao Yan immediately transformed his body into the Infinite Dark Heart Flame and moved away from Liu Di, slowly condensing into shape beside Yao Tianhuo. He stared solemnly at Liu Di and Zhong Meng who were already standing side by side in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

“Senior Tianhuo, let’s cancel the previous plan.” Xiao Yan’s eyes were filled with helplessness. He raised his hand and flipped up his sleeves. “Looking at this situation, it seems that we can only take action directly.”

"I don't care. I'd rather say that I hope so~"

Yao Tianhuo grinned. She had always been a warlike person. She was actually somewhat unwilling to follow the plan proposed by Xiao Yan. It was a pity that she had finally obtained such a powerful force but could not fight to the fullest. However, Yao Tianhuo was a person who knew the importance of things very well. She knew that their goal this time was to completely eliminate the remaining souls of Liu Di and Zhong Meng, and they should not ruin this matter for their own selfish desires.

But now, there is no such worry.

"Then I'll leave Liu Di to you, and I'll take care of Zhong Meng!"

The moment he finished speaking, Yao Tianhuo's figure turned into a stream of fire and rushed towards Zhong Meng. Xiao Yan immediately followed closely behind him, took out the Infernal Hell Ruler and flashed in front of Liu Di. The Infernal Hell Ruler was surging with extreme flames and smashed down at Liu Di.

【Fengtian】

At this moment, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.

It was true that his strength had been amplified by the ancient Bodhi tree, but this Infernal Purgatory Ruler shouldn't have been able to do that, right? Could he withstand the attack of the Dou Emperor's residual soul?
Although he had such doubts in his heart, the attack had already been launched, and Xiao Yan had no choice but to retract it halfway. He could only gather all his strength and clench the Infernal Inferno Ruler to attack Liu Di.

Liu Di's face was stern, and he raised his hand with fighting spirit in his palm to take Xiao Yan's attack. Then his face darkened, and his knees were slightly bent by the powerful force. Then he made a quick decision and threw the Infernal Inferno Ruler to the side. With his other arm wrapped in a fierce hurricane, he reached out to Xiao Yan's heart again.

puff!

Xiao Yan's chest was pierced again, but Liu Di immediately withdrew his hand and smashed it behind him without hesitation.

Boom!
With a loud bang, Xiao Yan's figure, which had just condensed from behind Liu Di, was suddenly smashed away, and his body rolled repeatedly on the dark grass. Finally, he inserted the Infernal Hell Ruler heavily into the ground to slow down the rolling speed. He left a long groove on the grass, and slowly stopped, looking solemnly at Liu Di who was slowly retracting his hand.

"You dare to show off the same trick in front of me again and again, you are such a fool."

Liu Di shook his hand in disdain and narrowed his eyes slightly at the Infernal Hell Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand.

It’s not that he couldn’t block Xiao Yan’s attack just now, but if he tried to block it forcefully he would suffer unnecessary injuries, that’s all.

(But I have to say, there are not many people in this world who can hurt me. This kid doesn’t look very old, so he should be proud of himself.)
Thinking of this, Liu Di frowned tightly, glanced at Xiao Yan who was slowly standing up, then looked at Yao Tianhuo who was fighting with Zhong Meng in the distance, with doubts surging in his mind.

(He was able to fight Zhong Meng and me to a draw. Such a strong man should not be unknown, but why have I never heard of him?) Liu Di looked at the endless black grass under his feet, and then looked up at the bloody sky, frowning even more tightly, (Speaking of which, where is this place? Why are Zhong Meng and I here?)

Liu Di had been concentrating on fighting Zhong Meng to the death all along, and had paid no attention to anything around him. However, the sudden appearance of the two intruders, Xiao Yan and Yao Tianhuo, made Liu Di notice the strange scene around him for the first time.

Eh?
Liu Di looked stunned and raised his hand to gently stroke his forehead.

Why did Zhong Meng and I fight?
I always feel like I've forgotten something very important.
Just when Liu Di felt that a hazy fog in his mind was about to dissipate, a scorching flame wave suddenly hit him, making Liu Di come back to his senses instantly. He dodged Xiao Yan's sudden attack with a flash, and the doubt on his face disappeared, turning into a fierce and cold ferocity.

Forget about these things and think about them later.

The thick fog once again enveloped Liu Di's mind, and all that overflowed was the deep resentment and murderous intent!
On the other side, Yao Tianhuo also continuously waved his Lihuo Blade at Zhong Meng. Zhong Meng was overwhelmed and looked quite embarrassed when responding.

Judging from the battle situation alone, Yao Tianhuo's side is undoubtedly much more relaxed. Although the strength of Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan has been brought to the same level by the Ancient Bodhi Tree, Yao Tianhuo is already very experienced, dozens of times more than Xiao Yan. He is also a warmonger and his combat experience is much stronger than Xiao Yan.

It can be said that if Yao Tianhuo and Xiao Yan were in the same realm and fighting one-on-one, Yao Tianhuo would be able to beat Xiao Yan. When the realm and strength are similar, the key to the outcome of the battle lies in the difference in experience between them.

Whoosh!

Yao Tianhuo swung the Lihuo Blade at Zhong Meng again. Zhong Meng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She stepped back to avoid the attack and was about to counterattack, but Yao Tianhuo did not give her any chance. He spread out his other palm, and the flame in his palm instantly disintegrated, and he spoke coldly.

"Ten Thousand Wheels of Fire."

In an instant, the flames in Yao Tianhuo's palm shot into the air and transformed into one ferocious fire beast after another.

Moreover, because of the sudden increase in strength, Yao Tianhuo's move at this moment is not just in name like before, but the real [Ten Thousand Wheels Fire Method]!
Looking at the densely packed flaming beasts in mid-air, Zhong Meng couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

She could feel very clearly that those fire beasts, without exception, were of the same level of strength as the Lihuo Blade that Yao Tianhuo had previously unleashed!
"Ah~ My long-cherished wish has come true. I am filled with emotion~"

Yao Tianhuo looked at the tens of thousands of fire beasts in the sky with great pride. He thought that not long ago, he could only differentiate hundreds of them at most at one time. If there were more, not only would his fighting spirit not be able to support them, but he would also find it difficult to control them. The so-called Ten Thousand Wheels of Fire Separation was just a nice name. But this time, the Ten Thousand Wheels of Fire Separation was absolutely worthy of its name. Even for Yao Tianhuo, even if it was just to perform this move himself once, this trip was not in vain!

"Then, Miss Zhong Meng." Yao Tianhuo looked at Zhong Meng, whose eyes revealed fear, grinned, with fire flashing in his fiery red eyes, "I'll trouble you to come and test it yourself to see how effective my trick is."

As Yao Tianhuo finished his words, tens of thousands of fire beasts in the air, which had long been unable to contain themselves, roared towards Zhong Meng below, and attacked Zhong Meng one after another.

"hateful!"

Zhong Meng's hands were filled with fighting spirit, and he swung them suddenly at the attacking fire beasts, instantly dispersing them. But the next second, more fire beasts filled the gap and surged up again, forcing Zhong Meng to retreat backwards. At the same time, he looked at the palm that had just attacked him, only to see that his fair wrist had been burned by the sparks from the fire beasts that had just dispersed, which made Zhong Meng come to a conclusion immediately.

These fire beasts are simply impossible to resist!
Then Zhong Meng completely gave up on defense, and began to dodge the attacks of the fire beasts by tapping his toes. The fire beasts were like meteorites chasing Zhong Meng and falling continuously, turning the endless black grassland into ashes.

Zhong Meng saw that the situation was not good, so he leaped into the air, but those fire beasts were like greedy hungry wolves, and chased after Zhong Meng in the air again. Seeing this, Zhong Meng had no choice but to continue dodging left and right, up and down in the air.

Unlike on the ground, there are more directions to dodge in the air, so Zhong Meng seemed a lot more relaxed, while constantly thinking in his mind how to deal with these fire beasts.

But soon, before Zhong Meng could think of an answer, she discovered a problem, and this problem made her face extremely ugly.

It seems like I have nowhere to hide.

Zhong Meng looked at the flaming beast in panic that surrounded him from all sides, blocking all his routes.

At this moment, the body of a fire beast squirmed slightly, and in Zhong Meng's astonished eyes, it turned into the appearance of Yao Tianhuo.

"Mr. Zhong Meng, you have nowhere to hide."

Yao Tianhuo grinned at Zhong Meng, whose eyes exuded a cold look. He moved a finger at his side silently, and a transparent sharp blade suddenly appeared, slashing across Yao Tianhuo's neck and chopping off her head.

However, there was no joy in Zhong Meng's eyes.

Because she saw very clearly that there was flames burning on Yao Tianhuo's broken neck.

"Give up, Lord Zhong Meng."

As Yao Tianhuo's headless body slowly dissipated, another fire beast transformed into the appearance of Yao Tianhuo. It raised its hand and gently stroked the head of the fire beast next to it, smiling softly at Zhong Meng.

"After I release these fire beasts, you can't kill me unless you kill them all." Yao Tianhuo said, narrowing his eyes slightly. "As for the consequences of destroying these fire beasts, you have experienced it yourself just now, right?"

Zhong Meng remained silent, quietly looking at the Yao Tianhuo in front of him, and only spoke after a long time.

"This is a very advanced flame control ability. I have never seen anyone who can condense flames into such a form. It really leaves me helpless." Zhong Meng looked at Yao Tianhuo and asked coldly, "Which Doudi family do you belong to? Why have I never heard of you?"

Zhong Meng's question made Yao Tianhuo suddenly stunned. Before she could figure out what Zhong Meng meant, Zhong Meng continued to speak.

But this time, the voice was undoubtedly filled with hatred.

"Could it be that you were the ones who killed Liu Di's people? The reason you attacked us this time was to avoid our revenge?"

"Wait, wait a moment." Yao Tianhuo raised his hand to interrupt Zhong Meng's words, his eyes revealing confusion, "You seem to have misunderstood something. We have never killed Liu Di's people. It's better to say how could we kill them?"

Liu Di’s family was destroyed thousands of years ago. Could it be possible that Yao Tianhuo could travel back thousands of years to destroy Liu Di’s family?

At this moment, Yao Tianhuo suddenly reacted.

These two people seemed to be residual souls, and since they were residual souls, it was normal for their memories to be distorted.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yao Tianhuo immediately figured out what was going on. He spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"It seems like we're not on the same page. Let's just say it directly, huh?!"

Before Yao Tianhuo could finish his words, a surging beam of energy interrupted his speech. With just one strike, Yao Tianhuo's body was annihilated into slag, and nearly a thousand fire beasts disappeared with it.

Zhong Meng reacted immediately after being stunned for a moment. He jumped out of the encirclement through the gap of the fire beasts. When he looked closely, he saw that it was Liu Di standing outside the encirclement.

"Zhong Meng! Are you okay?"

Liu Di looked at Zhong Meng with a worried expression. It was totally unimaginable that he was fighting a life-and-death battle with the woman in front of him not long ago.

Zhong Meng shook his head slightly, his eyes suddenly sharp as he looked at Xiao Yan who was standing not far behind Liu Di. At this moment, Xiao Yan looked visibly embarrassed and was breathing heavily.

It is true that his strength is similar to Liu Di's, but his combat experience is so much less, which led to him being suppressed by Liu Di throughout the whole process. If it weren't for the fact that the Infernal Hell Ruler seemed to have also been enhanced, he might not have been able to hold out against Liu Di until now.

These ancient Dou Di powerful men indeed possessed more than just realm.

At this moment, a fire beast on the periphery transformed into the form of Yao Tianhuo again. It looked at Zhong Meng and Liu Di with its hands behind its back, a speechless expression on its face. It spoke slowly under the two's vigilant gazes.

"You two, didn't you realize that you were already dead?" (End of this chapter)
