Chapter 349: Chapter 347: Blazing Fire Technique
The moment Jiang Chen appeared on the ninth floor, he instantly drew the attention of everyone on the eighth floor.
Gasps of shock echoed one after another.
Some even looked on in disbelief.
Even the Flame Dragon and the Black Fire Crow stopped their battle at that moment.
They stared in astonishment at Jiang Chen in the pavilion floating in the air.
The Flame Dragon exclaimed softly, "It’s Big Brother."
"He actually made it to the ninth floor."
Then, it recalled what the Black Fire Crow had said. The Black Fire Crow had constantly reminded everyone that it was impossible to reach the ninth floor from the eighth.
And they really hadn’t found any passage leading to the ninth floor.
Now, seeing Jiang Chen appear in that floating pavilion, they knew for sure that it was true.
"It’s true. The passage to the ninth floor really isn’t on the eighth floor."
"Then it must be on the seventh."
The Flame Dragon remembered the old man who had kept Jiang Chen behind.
So, it made perfect sense that Jiang Chen had now appeared in the floating pavilion.
It didn’t know whether to feel pleasantly surprised or a little helpless.
They had all come for the Black Fire, yet only Jiang Chen had appeared on the ninth floor.
Everyone knew that the floating pavilion was the ninth floor.
With a bitter smile, the Flame Dragon said to Jiang Chen, "Congratulations."
It had a premonition that this time, the Black Fire was destined to be Jiang Chen’s.
Jiang Chen didn’t respond.
He still felt as if he were in a dream.
’To think I’m the only one who made it to the ninth floor.’
"AHH—"
Suddenly, upon seeing Jiang Chen on the ninth floor, the Black Fire Crow let out a piercing shriek.
It roared, "I can’t believe someone actually got to the ninth floor."
Then it shrieked at Jiang Chen, "You brat, once you get the Black Fire, you have to give it to me."
"Otherwise, this crow will definitely eat you."
It had been trapped on the eighth floor for five hundred years, constantly dreaming of entering the ninth.
But it had never been possible.
Now that someone had beaten it to the punch, its resentment was palpable.
Its fury burned.
"Shut up! You dare threaten my Big Brother?"
The Flame Dragon was furious, glaring fiercely at the Black Fire Crow.
The two had been fighting to the death, their eyes red with killing intent, but no victor had emerged.
The Flame Dragon was indignant, especially since this Black Fire Crow was actually threatening Jiang Chen.
"What? You call him Big Brother?"
"Are you kidding me, you worm? You’re actually calling a human ’Big Brother’?"
"Hahaha, you’re hilarious."
The Black Fire Crow immediately started mocking the Flame Dragon.
"In this crow’s opinion, the Human Race is nothing but a bunch of pitiful, lowly things. For you to acknowledge him as your Big Brother... you’re a disgrace to the Demon Realm."
At that moment, the Flame Dragon knew it would never obtain the Black Fire.
The Black Fire Crow’s words, in particular, made it fly into a rage.
It let out a mighty roar.
"Today, I will teach you a proper lesson."
With that, it actually started dueling the Black Fire Crow again.
The Black Fire Crow was also extremely belligerent. It shrieked and clashed with the Flame Dragon once more.
The battle that ensued was incredibly fierce.
Wen Shixuan and the others could only smile bitterly.
They didn’t dare interfere and kept their distance.
Both combatants were experts approaching the level of a Martial Emperor. How could they possibly be a match for them?
However, now that they saw Jiang Chen was about to get the Black Fire...
Wen Shixuan was naturally unwilling to accept this. He quickly spoke up, "Kid, how about we make a deal?"
"You get the Black Fire and give it to me. I, Wen Shixuan, will guarantee you endless glory and wealth."
He made all sorts of promises to Jiang Chen, hoping to move him and get him to hand over the Black Fire.
Fearing Jiang Chen would refuse, Wen Shixuan continued to persuade him, "With your Cultivation, even if you get the Black Fire, you’ll have a hard time keeping it."
"You might not even keep your life. Giving it to me is your safest bet."
Standing in the floating pavilion, Jiang Chen shot Wen Shixuan a cool glance.
He said disdainfully, "You? You think you’re worthy of the Black Fire?"
’My mind is in turmoil. This time, getting the Black Fire will put me in a predicament. If I really get trapped in the Ghost Temple for ten thousand years, it would be the height of frustration.’
His foul mood soured his tone.
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Wen Shixuan snapped in annoyance, "You brat, you dare act so tough."
"Even if you get the Black Fire, you won’t necessarily be able to keep it."
"Hmph!"
Just then, a cold snort was heard.
Wen Shixuan looked over. It was the Flame Dragon, which had actually shot him a cold glare in the middle of its fight.
This made Wen Shixuan’s expression change drastically.
He sensed that the relationship between the Flame Dragon and Jiang Chen was rather strange.
The Flame Dragon kept calling Jiang Chen "Big Brother."
He had been about to threaten Jiang Chen a bit more, but sensing the Flame Dragon’s hostility, he quickly shut his mouth.
’Even if I want to snatch the Black Fire, I can’t say it now. It won’t be too late to find a chance to seize it after Jiang Chen leaves this place.’
He and Grand General Ming Zhe hid off to the side, quietly observing the situation.
The other Martial Cultivators who had barged in now felt they had no chance of getting the Black Fire and were equally helpless.
All of them watched Jiang Chen’s every move.
Jiang Chen paid no more attention to Wen Shixuan and the others. He glanced at the battling Flame Dragon and Black Fire Crow and shook his head.
He turned to look at the Black Fire burning quietly behind him.
His pupils contracted slightly.
’This is a Black Fire Spark.’
’Hot damn, looks like I’ve really struck it rich this time.’
A Black Fire Spark. As long as the spark exists, it can produce an endless supply of Black Fire.
Therefore, this Black Fire Spark was the true source of the Black Fire.
It was also his goal for this trip.
With that thought, he quickly examined it.
He didn’t find any restrictive seals or the like around the Black Fire Spark.
So, he reached out his hand, slowly approaching the Black Fire Spark.
Seeing Jiang Chen move again, Wen Shixuan and the others held their breath.
The Flame Dragon and the Black Fire Crow also broke apart at that moment.
Each appeared in a different corner.
They temporarily stopped fighting and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was about to obtain the Black Fire. This was a critical moment, and the Black Fire Crow still coveted it.
A sinister light flickered in its eyes.
"HSSS..."
The moment Jiang Chen’s hand got near the Black Fire, the searing heat made him violently pull it back.
A piercing pain shot through him.
The temperature of the Black Fire’s flame was astonishingly high.
’Looks like I’ll need another method to collect the Black Fire.’
Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
He contemplated how to collect the Black Fire.
Soon, a glint flashed in his eyes.
’I’ve got it.’
’My Blazing Fire Technique.’
In his past life, Jiang Chen had collected a Fire of Heaven and Earth several times. Each time, he had used the Blazing Fire Technique, and it was pretty much a sure thing.
The Blazing Fire Technique was the bane of any Fire of Heaven and Earth, specifically designed to collect them.
The Black Fire was a type of Fire of Heaven and Earth, so it could naturally be collected.
An ordinary person would have some difficulty obtaining the Black Fire.
But it wouldn’t be difficult for Jiang Chen.
Fortunately, he found that his memory of the Blazing Fire Technique was still perfectly intact.
This made him wonder if there were truly gaps in his memory. His previous rebirth from the flames, for instance, had been a genuine epiphany of his own. He hadn’t been able to recall it at all, but after merging with that missing piece of his memory, it had all come back to him.
’Never mind that. Collecting the Black Fire is what’s important right now.’
Jiang Chen silently recited the Technique in his mind.
Blazing Fire Technique.
