The Story of the Swordsman

Burned

"Dead-end?" Hua Litong and the others quickly arrived at the spacious hall with three doors and they were unable to open it.

"Where are you going?" Huo Ao and his subordinates arrived, and when they saw Hua Litong's group desperately trying to open the door, they couldn't help but laugh.

Hua Litong gritted his teeth and said to the others, "It seems like we should fight them now."

"Even if I have to die, I'll drag them all together." Yun Jing stepped forward and prepared to activate the Last Fog. This time he had to use it.

Huo Ao smiled evilly and took out a deep red-colored sword from his spatial ring.

"Go!" Huo Ao ordered his subordinates to attack Hua Litong's group and he raised a fire on his sword.

Hua Litong stuffed some Energy Filling Pills into his mouth and chewed them. His energy surged, giving rise to a storm of petals around his body.

The kreeek!

When Hua Litong and the others were about to fight, the iron door in the middle suddenly opened. His eyes twinkled and he hurriedly led everyone through the door, arriving at another spacious hall with a deep red throne in the middle.

"Damn!" Huo Ao said as he looked at this scene. Why should the door be open at this time?

He did not think too much about it and quickly chased after Hua Litong's group.

Meanwhile, Ji Cheng's group had just arrived at that place. They were in no hurry to follow Huo Ao because Ji Cheng felt that something was amiss.

"Why did the door open by itself?" Ji Cheng was doubtful.

Qi Tian'er looked at the sun symbol on the other two iron doors and guessed, "See this symbol. Perhaps, this place was the true core of the Mythological Realm of the Blazing Sun."

Ji Cheng stared at the sun symbol and tried to channel the energy into it, but nothing happened.

"Should we follow them?" Qi Tian'er. To be honest, he wanted to follow Huo Ao as soon as possible. He did not want to lose the chance to obtain the treasure if it was there.

Ji Cheng looked hesitant as his instinct told him that there was something dangerous in the room, but he ended up following them anyway.

The moment Hua Litong and the others stepped into the vast hall, the first thing that appeared before them was a handsome young man sitting on a deep red throne along with an illusory figure and a strange red mouse by his side.

"Moon!" Yun Jing immediately recognized Yun Lintian at first glance and immediately became elated.

"Senior Brother Jing." Yun Lintian replied and turned to the others. "Sister Hua, Sister Yang, we meet again. Please all of you, come to my side."

Hua Litong and Yang Mengli were confused and curious about how Yun Lintian had appeared here, but they did not have much time to care about this matter because Huo Ao and his subordinates had arrived at this place. They immediately moved towards Yun Lintian.

"Oh? Isn't that Young Master Yun? Why are you here?" Huo Ao lowered his fire sword and looked at Yun Lintian with a frown. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the sun ball in Yun Lintian's hand.

"This is the first time we've met each other. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Huo Ao from the Sacred Fire Sect." Huo Ao tried to distract Yun Lintian and prepared to flee from this place.

However, Yun Lintian already knew his intentions, but he did not intend to make a move as he was still waiting for Ji Cheng to come.

Afterwards, he saw Ji Cheng's group appear at the entrance, and this made the smile on his lips grow wider.

At the same time, Ji Cheng and Qi Tian'er saw Yun Lintian calmly sitting on the red throne. Their expressions turned ugly instantly, and Ji Cheng tried to escape immediately. He did not even care about his fiancee, the current Qi Tian'er.

But how could Yun Lintian let go? He quickly used his mind to close the iron door directly.

Bang out!

The iron door was tightly shut in front of Ji Cheng, causing his expression to change drastically. He knew this time he was screwed. The trap was right, it was clear that Yun Lintian was the one who lured everyone to this place.

Ji Cheng turned around and looked at Yun Lintian while ignoring Qi Tian'er's cold gaze.

Ji Cheng glanced at him and sneered, "Report? Do you think you can come back alive? Why don't you use your stupid brain to think about the current situation first?" He pointed at Yun Lintian and said further, "Are you not looking? He could clearly control this place at will. Since he is so confident luring us all here, do you think he has no way to deal with us?"

Qi Tian'er was startled and realized. She turned to Yun Lintian and said coldly, "I am the Second Princess of the Qi Kingdom clan. I order you to open the door. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape my father's anger when you go back outside."

"Stupid." Ji Cheng sneered at him. He turned his gaze to Yun Lintian while his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to think how to get out of this situation.

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly and wondered how could a princess be this stupid. He replied, "I'm afraid I can't obey your orders, Your Majesty. Did you know that your father supported the Sacred Fire Sect and Sword Sect to attack my sect? Don't you think your words were just ridiculous?"

Qi Tian'er was stunned for a moment. He now understood why Yun Lintian did not plan to let go. Even though she was the princess, she was unable to access some information as she pleased. This was the first time he had heard of this. He had never known before that his father currently had a conflict with the Misty Cloud Sect.

"What do you want to do?" Huo Ao, who was standing at the side, had realized how bad the situation was, but he was still pretending to be calm.

Yun Lintian looked at him and said clearly, "It's simple. I'm gonna kill you all."

Huo Ao, Ji Cheng, Qi Tian'er, and the others felt a chill in their bodies after hearing his sentence.

Ji Cheng quickly scanned the place. Except for the fire patterns on the walls, he did not find anything strange. He could not guess what method Yun Lintian would use. So, he just held his sword, preparing to fight at any time.

"Haha! Really confident! I want to see how you're gonna kill me." Huo Ao laughed wildly. His face turned ghastly as he gripped the fire sword in his hand tightly.

Meanwhile, Hua Litong and the others became excited instantly. Although they did not know Yun Lintian's method, from his confident appearance, they believed he could definitely kill them all.

"Be careful." Yun Lintian gave them a warning and turned the sun ball in his hand slightly.

Instantly, the fire patterns on the surrounding walls shone brightly and everyone except the Yun Lintian group could feel the temperature in the hall had risen.

"Dead!" Huo Ao attacked Yun Lintian with lightning speed and jumped into the air, shaking his fire sword into Yun Lintian's head.

Unfortunately, before he could reach the target, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of Huo Ao and threw him a few meters away.

"Argh! Help me!" Huo Ao landed, and suddenly heard a shout from one of his subordinates, making him turn around to look at that person.

The scene in front of him shocked him. The person who shouted earlier was now on fire. The flames covered his body and burned him to ashes in a split second. Not just him. Except for Huo Ao, Ji Cheng, and Qi Tian'er, everyone had burned as well.

"No! Forgive me!" One of Ji Cheng's subordinates begged and his body slowly turned to ashes a moment later. Soon, all of Ji Cheng and Huo Ao's subordinates had turned into ashes as well.

Ji Cheng gritted his teeth and constantly poured out his energy to strengthen his protective barrier around him. His red eyes looked at Yun Lintian with deep hatred. He had never thought of this situation before in his life — a young master of the Sword Sect would die easily like this.

"Cheng Ji ... Help me!" Qi Tian'er could not hold on. His luxurious robe started burning bit by bit, revealing his white skin that was gradually covered by flames. He looked at his fiancee, begging for her help.

Ji Cheng did not even glance at him. His eyes were still fixed on Yun Lintian.

"Ohhhhh!" Qi Tian'er screamed as the flames completely engulfed his body. A second later, he completely disappeared from the world, leaving a pile of ashes on the ground.

"Araghhh! I'm gonna kill you!" Huo Ao shouted and threw his fire sword at Yun Lintian. Unfortunately, his efforts were completely useless. The sword was reflected by an invisible barrier.

As the young master of the Sacred Fire Sect, his endurance with the fire element was extremely high. He can hold the fire longer than anyone. However, how could the flames made by the Blazing Sun King be ordinary? In ten seconds later, Huo Ao also turned into ashes, leaving this world forever.

Yun Lintian looked at Ji Cheng in surprise. Of course, among them, Ji Cheng was the strongest, but he did not expect him to last this long.

"You ... will soon... die." Ji Cheng said word for word with great difficulty.

"I don't know if I'll die as fast as you say, but you'll definitely die in just a second." Yun Lintian replied expressionlessly. Ji Cheng's attempts to interfere with his thoughts failed.

Ji Cheng was disappointed to see his plan fail. He closed his eyes and his body slowly turned into ashes in the next second.
