Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 337

The sword were sent flying towards the old monster who quickly manouevered them to his side,  her eyes were now flaming red which made him thrilled knowing that the real fight will finally begin, he found it weird and annoying that she keeps talking to herself but if it brought her back to her senses, he appreciates it.

With a flick of his fingers, he sent the swords flying towards her but she skillfully dodged the swords as she made her way towards him, he was making more swords out of the lightning in the sky making it almost impossible to get to him so she decided to destroy them.

She clawed her fingers then pushed her hands downward, freezing them then she squeezed her hand, causing the swords to disperse.

She conjured flames in her hands and dashed towards him, exchanging hand strikes with him swiftly.

Those who knew her were speechless, the young timind girl suddenly turned gusty and skillful but they assumed she must have trained very hard and finally mastered her powers but Su Ci couldn’t believe it, even whilst they were training, she managed to defeat Huo Lan as long as she wasn’t using her flame power but now not only is she perfectly controlling her flame power but her martial skills are…

“How is it possible?”

She didn’t seem herself, the speed, pace and nimble movement was unexpected.

The old monster decided to step up the game, he nimbly dodged the ball of flames she threw at him then he somersaulted behind her.

He waved his hand together then clasped his hands together before opening his plams, a mixture of blue and red Qi emerged from his hands, forming a twin headed spear, he waved the spear around them made a stance before dashing towards her.

He swung both side of the spear at her with each sides releasing flames and strong wind.

“He actually combined both skills,” sect leader Zhou remarked in awe, no one has ever managed to combine the skills of both sect, the other specialty of the wind sect is the ability to control water so the elements oppose each other.

Sect leader Lin couldn’t help feeling troubled by the situation, she should have exploded the entire place the moment he conjured her flames but she is actually able to fight, he also wasn’t aware of the existence of Huo Yi Lang until he planned today’s event with the emperor.

He was captured by the sect leader of the ancient sword sect and was supposedly executed in front of the four main sect leaders but he was actually alive and in the hands of the emperor, he glanced at the emperor.

{Why would his majesty keep Huo Yi Lang alive?}

She fought him head on instead of escaping as she kept dodging his attacks and also dishing out hers, he then found the need for a weapon in order to help her fight against the old monster.

He stretched his hands out then Huo Ying suddenly flew out of her anchor into Huo Lan’s hand, Huo Ying wasn’t expecting it but she was happy her sister was using her sword, no one noticed her sword before but now they recognise it to be Phoenix nirvana.

“Isn’t that Phoenix Nirvana?” Sect leader Meng remarked in shock.

“Phoenix Nirvana always chooses its master, how come your daughters can use it?” sect leader Lin followed.

Phoenix Nirvana is a sword that was formed from the core of the last purple flame phoenix which is said to be the one of the spirit beast guarding the flame demon but everyone considers it a rumour, the only person that has ever managed to wield Phoenix Nirvana is the first sect leader of the flame sect and Rong Li, Huo Li’s mother.

Huo Ying has never used the Phoenix Nirvana ever since she obtained it, she only brought it to show off but she didn’t expect her sister to use it.

Huo Lan chanelled her Qi into the sword, conjuring purple flames on the sword then she swept towards the old monster who kept on attacking fiercely.

Both gave each other a palm hit which only injured the old monster a little but sent her flying towards one of the pillars, she hit her back then fell to the ground and spat out blood.

{Master…}

Xiaodi was deeply worried, from the fight, it is already clear that Huo Lan is no match for the old monster even with the help of the Phoenix Nirvana and her master, he has just recovered from one injury but if he keeps taking hits then he might really fall into a long sleep.

She used the support of the the Phoenix Nirvana to stand to her feet but before she could stand, he already gave her another hit to the chest, she flew back again and fell to the ground.

“Sect leader Lin!” sect madam Huo yelled at him, he said he would stop the test when the time comes.

“Sect madam Huo, be patient, it is not time yet,” he smirked.

“When exactly will it be time then, she has already shown that she can control her power or are you waiting for her to die first?” she queried with her voice raised, she really can’t stand it, the daughter she met before wasn’t as skilled as this, she can’t even fanthom just how much training she must have put herself to but she is still being injured.

Which mother can stand such?

“When the time comes, you will know,”

She balled her fist tightly as tears gathered in her eyes, she not only let her daughter go at such a young age to be isolated from the world but she now has to watch her get killed.

“If my daughter dies, Li Yuanlang…your entire sect will be burried with her,” she threatened with a burning gaze in her eyes, he stared right into her eyes and he knew she means what she says, the emperor and two sect leaders were amused watching the duo.

She kept standing up and fighting but the old monster kept defeating her over and over again, she held the handle of the sword tightly with her gaze lowered on the ground, she thought the pain from the pins was the worst pain in the world but after getting hit so many times and cut with the twin headed spear, her views had changed.

Her hair slicked down on her face because of the sweat and blood on her face, her eyes glistened with tears but having come this far, she doesn’t want to give up anymore, her urge and will to live was heightened.

Once again, she stood to her feet, firmly gripping her sword then she raised her gaze.

“If you surrender to me and acknowledge that I am the most powerful cultivator then I will let you leave your body complete when you die,” he offered, grining evilly.

A metallic taste infiltrated her buds, she clutched her chest only for her to splurt blood all over the ground then she dropped to the ground with her eyes slowy shutting itself.

“Huo Lan!” Huo Ying screamed in horror.

She has lived everyday with one goal in mind, to save her sister, she really can’t watch this, she gripped her whip really tight and tried to stand but Huo Qiang held her still.

“Let me go!” she yelled at him but to no avail.

The old monster pulled her up then binded her with the twin spear, he then turned to sect madam Huo.

“Huo Jingyu, will you exchange your life for you daughter’s life?” he asked, murmurs took over the whole place immediately.

The ordinary people were quite confused as to what is going on.

“Huo Yi Lang!” sect madam Huo yelled as she stood up, gripping her whip.

“Why? is your life more important than your daughter’s life?” he continued.

“Your majesty, are you going to let him continue, my daughter has already proved she is not a monster,” he could hear her pleading in her tone, for the first time, the great Huo Jingyu sounds helpless.

He ignored her.

Huo Lan wriggled as she tried to break free from the strong metal binding her, the fourth prince tried to hold on but he couldn’t, not when she is trying to break free from his control which is preventing her from using her power to the max, his consciousness was forced out of the realm so he returned to his physical body.

“Master…” Xiaodi whispered both he signalled her to not say anymore.

“Mother, don’t…” she pleaded, she regretted listening to him, she wouldn’t be in this situation if not for him.

{She is going to lose control!}

She broke into a peal of laughter

“You all are despicable, you colluded with the emperor taking my daughter’s test as a chance to force me to commit sucide, alright, if that is what you want then I will grant your wish,”

Huo Ying didn’t believe that her mother will really do it but seeing her wrap her own whip around her neck, she quickly sprung up from her seat then released the nine section whip which swept speedily towards her mother, she wrapped the whip around her mother’s hand then pulled it.

But before anyone could say anymore…

Blast!
