“Die, Zheng Yun!

“You should have died thirty years ago!

“I let you off back then, but I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful. Now, you even dare to spoil my plans. You should have been hacked into pieces then! But it’s not too late to kill you now!”

Luo Cheng’s tone was bone-chilling.

Zheng Yun, his senior brother.

Apart from Luo Cheng’s family background, Zheng Yun was better than him in every aspect, whether it was in cultivation talent or weapon-refinement talent.

He had always been more dazzling than him in the Forging Hall and had always surpassed him.

If things continued on like that, Zheng Yun would have become the chief disciple of the Forging Hall, and one day, he might even have been promoted as its hall master.

Furthermore, what Luo Cheng found even more unacceptable was that the woman he truly liked, his junior sister, actually liked Zheng Yun.

Thus, he had set up a scheme to sully his junior sister’s innocence. He had thought that he would be able to change her mind once the deed was done.

However, he did not expect his junior sister to commit suicide after she regained consciousness.

Despite what he did, Luo Cheng didn’t feel that this was his fault. Instead, he felt that it was all because of Zheng Yun.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them were competing for the chief disciple position of the Forging Hall, Luo Cheng had gone all out. He had schemed against Zheng Yun and destroyed his cultivation foundation, making it difficult for Zheng Yun to advance in his lifetime.

Then, he had used his family’s power to expel Zheng Yun from the Forging Hall. However, in order to protect his own reputation, he didn’t get rid of Zheng Yun.

At this moment, however, the other party had actually dared to oppose him!

How could he not be furious?!

He swore that he would kill Zheng Yun here with a single spear strike so that no one else in the sect would ever dare to go against him.

“Luo Cheng, you deserve to die. I swore to Wan’er that I would tear you to pieces. Today is the day you die!”

In the face of Luo Cheng’s killing blow, Zheng Yun’s countenance calmed down.

His tone was firm and convincing.

“Heh heh, a piece of trash like you… You think you can kill me?! The only one who will die today is you. Die!” Luo Cheng laughed loudly. His long spear was now only six meters away from Zheng Yun.

This distance was fleeting. With Zheng Yun’s cultivation, he could not dodge it at all.

At this moment, some of the senior disciples could not help but close their eyes.

They did not want to see Senior Brother Zheng, who had always been kind to others, end up like this.

“Luo Cheng, die!”

At this moment, Zheng Yun, who was supposed to be in a desperate situation and on the verge of being killed, suddenly turned red as his body burst out with blazing, soaring flames.

The scorching heat dyed the surrounding air red, igniting the void.

In fact, the fire dragon that Luo Cheng had launched earlier was also blocked by the blazing flames, about nine meters away from Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun had sacrificed his vital spirit fire, the 29th earth-grade Iron Heart Flame.

The spirit fire erupted, and his spirit sea was instantly ignited. It was as if a spark had fallen into a gasoline can as Zheng Yun’s spirit sea exploded violently.

All his magic powers were ignited in an instant, along with his spirit fire, the 29th earth-grade Iron Heart Flame.

He was going all out!

Zheng Yun exerted all his strength as if he was a raging fire.

The sword in his hand once again burst into blazing flames.

His entire body was covered in flames, as if he was a legendary fire god. With a thrust of his sword, he felt invincible!

He vowed to kill Luo Cheng here and now!

This thrust of the sword contained all of Zheng Yun’s strength.

“What?!”

Suddenly, someone shouted, “That’s Spirit Fire Sacrifice! Senior Brother Zheng actually sacrificed his vital spirit fire!”

Everyone around the ring looked towards it involuntarily.

On the spectator stands, an elder cried out in shock, “He’s simply courting death! Once his spirit fire is sacrificed, at the very least, his cultivation will be lost, and he will forever be a cripple. At the worst, his core spirit will be shattered, and he will completely disappear from this world.”

When a cultivator awakened his vital spirit fire and initiated into the Dao, it would cause his core spirit to fuse into the vital spirit fire.

If he wanted to sacrifice his vital spirit fire, it would be fine if it only lasted for a short period of time as it would only cause him to lose his cultivation. However, if prolonged, his core spirit would also suffer.

In that case, his core spirit would definitely shatter and die.

“Tsk tsk, looks like your Luo Cheng went overboard back then. I didn’t expect Junior Nephew Zheng to be forced to such desperate measures,” Elder Lu said to Elder Luo with a smile.

Zheng Yun had sacrificed his vital spirit fire. This was a moment of extreme glory, and the strength he erupted with had even reached the sixth layer of the Divine Sea.

Unfortunately…

Luo Cheng had entered the sixth layer of the Divine Sea long ago and had already been immersed in this realm for quite some time, even managing to cultivate divinity. If not for this, Zheng Yun might have been able to make a comeback.

However, the fact that he could hurt the other party was already a big accomplishment.

“Hmph!” Elder Luo’s face darkened. He remained silent as he snorted coldly.

If not for the many elders and disciples present, he would have already glared Zheng Yun to death. In the world of cultivators, even a glare could be deadly.

“I didn’t expect Elder Zheng to be so unyielding. He was prepared to perish together with Luo Cheng.

“No, with his cultivation base, even if he sacrificed his vital spirit fire, he would, at most, be able to injure Luo Cheng. It would be impossible for him to kill Luo Cheng.

“Sigh, Old Buddy Zheng, why did you rush it? If you had delayed it just a bit longer, Luo Cheng wouldn’t have been able to hold on.”

Jiang Chen could not help but sigh. He stretched out his left hand, and a weak flame appeared. Then, it flashed and disappeared.

At the same time, on the stage…

“No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to change the fact that you’re about to die.” Luo Cheng roared.

The restrictions on the spear in his hand were all activated swiftly. These restrictions released one after another, gathering an unimaginable power.

They caused the spear to explode and turn into a small sun.

Immediately, Luo Cheng exerted his strength to send this “sun” out, but right at this moment…

His spirit sea trembled for no reason. A black spot appeared in the middle of his liquefied magic power. Soon, this black spot dyed his entire spirit sea with unimaginable speed.

It was so sudden that he wasn’t mentally prepared at all.

His spirit sea froze in an instant, making him unable to activate the magic power in his body.

“How is this possible?!”

The changes in his body caused Luo Cheng to be terrified.

However, just as all of this was happening, Zheng Yun had already thrust his sword forward.

The vigorous power of its flames, together with the fireball that had exploded from the spear, was pushed towards Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng didn’t even have time to react before he was engulfed by the flames. He didn’t even have the chance to scream before he was burnt to ashes.
