Chapter 860: Chapter 858: Let Him Go
Wang Zhan immediately widened his eyes. After glancing at Xuan Yu beside him, he opened his mouth and said, "Interesting..."
"It seems this old fellow’s son was killed by someone?"
"No wonder he’s like a mad dog."
Xuan Yu, who was also slightly furrowed in his brows, glanced heavy-heartedly. He clearly remembered that when they left, they had not killed Huo Xuan Yi. So what happened now?
Xuan Yu and Wang Zhan have entirely different personalities and have always been cautious in their actions.
After taking a look at Huo Yuan, Xuan Yu finally spoke in a low voice, "Even though there are some issues between us and your son, we did not kill him."
"So, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Huo Yuan’s face was unsightly, "At this point, you’re still arguing?"
"No, if we did it, we would naturally admit it, but don’t just blame us indiscriminately!"
Xuan Yu resolutely said, "Moreover, with our strength, killing Huo Xuan Yi would be extremely easy. Plus, considering the relationship between our Profound Ice Pavilion and Skyfire Mountain, even if we did kill your son, we wouldn’t have to worry about anything."
"We wouldn’t be covering it up here either."
"Therefore, I advise you to go back and think it over, and re-investigate the truth of the matter. You might find unexpected results."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan’s expression changed. He clenched his fist and coldly rebuked, "You two ignorant juniors, don’t pretend to be mysterious with me. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, you’re just trying to divert attention."
"Moreover, everyone related to that matter is already dead. The last Skyfire Venerable also died at your hands. What else do you have to say?"
Huo Yuan was also somewhat impatient. He soared into the sky and coldly said, "Today, I’ll make you pay for blood with blood."
The next second, Huo Yuan directly raised his hand, and a fiery red giant axe appeared in his hand.
That is...
As the giant axe appeared, Xuan Yu’s face turned much more sullen. After swallowing some saliva, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I’m not mistaken, that should be the Fire Deity Axe."
"It’s said that the Fire Deity Axe is a rare divine weapon with immense power. Moreover, if controlled by someone with fire attribute skills, its power would double!"
"Many years ago, there were rumors that this axe had fallen into Huo Yuan’s hands, but over the years, Huo Yuan never fought anyone, so no one knew the Fire Deity Axe’s real whereabouts. Unexpectedly..."
Xuan Yu elongated his words, his eyes filled with gravity.
"This guy actually wields the Fire Deity Axe..."
"Looks like we’re in a bit of a predicament."
Wang Zhan, however, crossed his arms, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He lazily stretched before speaking, "When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth. Even if we begged for mercy, they wouldn’t let us go. We might as well fight to the death. Perhaps we can find a sliver of life."
While speaking, Wang Zhan directly drew the Great Void Divine Sword from his back and charged towards Xuan Yu.
A flash of sword light fell, instantly intertwining with the Fire Deity Axe.
In the brief contact between the Great Void Divine Sword and the Fire Deity Axe, Wang Zhan was immediately pushed back a few steps.
Although the Great Void Divine Sword is a rare divine weapon, and the Fire Deity Axe is somewhat unattainable.
However, there was a strength gap between Wang Zhan and Huo Yuan, and even with weapon suppression, they could not overwhelm Huo Yuan.
"Damn..."
Wang Zhan slightly clenched his fists and instinctively glanced at Xuan Yu beside him, simultaneously saying, "Seems I underestimated him. I’ll temporarily hold him off for a while, then you contact the people in the Profound Ice Pavilion."
"Can you hold him off?"
Xuan Yu frowned and asked.
Wang Zhan grinned faintly, then said, "I can’t guarantee completely stopping him, but if it weren’t for the Great Void Divine Sword, Huo Yuan of this degree could easily kill us. In any case, I can delay him for a while longer."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, leave quickly."
Xuan Yu nodded.
After all, for them, time is life.
Delaying further would be of no benefit to them.
In a flash, Xuan Yu had already moved towards the distance.
Huo Yuan was about to intercept when he saw Wang Zhan lift the Great Void Divine Sword and fiercely slash downward.
Huo Yuan had no choice but to temporarily engage with Wang Zhan.
The Fire Deity Axe and the Great Void Divine Sword clashed once more.
A loud boom resounded, and an energy ripple diffused...
Earth-shaking.
From a distance, Xuan Yu glanced back at the direction of Wang Zhan and Huo Yuan, clenched his fist tightly, and muttered through gritted teeth, "You must hold on."
The next second, I quickly picked up the pace, heading towards the Profound Ice Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhan and Huo Yuan’s battle had reached a boiling point.
It must be said, Wang Zhan had used all his trump cards, yet he still couldn’t make Huo Yuan retreat a single step.
The Sword Spirit also slowly emerged from the Great Void Divine Sword. After glancing at Wang Zhan, she was filled with caution; she had been observing the situation outside and naturally understood the predicament Wang Zhan now faces.
She quickly moved to Wang Zhan’s side and said hastily, "Don’t linger in battle; we should leave quickly."
"Leave?"
Wang Zhan frowned and said, "I wish to leave here quickly, but do you think he will let us go?"
Huo Yuan continued to keep a watchful eye on them, clearly intent on fighting to the death.
The Sword Spirit clenched her fists and then saw her closing her eyes, forming hand seals with both hands, muttering something unknown. Suddenly, she rose into the air as longswords gathered in the sky, crashing down onto Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan’s complexion also changed, as he hurriedly lifted the Fire Deity Axe in his hand, followed by the sound of metal clashing.
After quickly retreating several steps, Huo Yuan coldly glanced in the direction of Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn bastard, I never thought you would manage to escape?"
Clearly, Wang Zhan had already made a quick escape during the chaos.
It must be said that his speed was extremely fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye before Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan coldly looked into the distance, continually letting out enraged shouts.
He never expected that someone at the Stellar-level could slip away from him?
This is simply a great humiliation.
If word got out, where would his face be?
Just as Huo Yuan prepared to leave, a blue light appeared from behind, followed by figures slowly appearing.
Standing at the front, Qiu Yinshan glanced at Huo Yuan and said, "I didn’t expect the domain lord of Skyfire Mountain to come visit our Profound Ice Pavilion."
"Interesting."
Xuan Yu quickly stepped forward, but after looking around, he didn’t see Wang Zhan’s figure.
He quickly asked, "Where is Wang Zhan?"
"He’s already been killed by me."
Huo Yuan stood confidently, showing no fear of the people before him.
Beside him, Xuan Yu clenched his fists, his eyes red with rage, and said directly, "Damn bastard, since that’s the case, don’t think you can leave."
Xuan Yu charged forward towards Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan sneered, raised his Fire Deity Axe, and a wave of fire spread out.
Before Xuan Yu could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by his entire body being knocked backward.
Standing to the side, Qiu Yinshan quickly moved, swiftly reaching Xuan Yu’s side to support him, and said, "Are you alright?"
Xuan Yu shook his head, but his face was extremely gloomy.
He was not on Huo Yuan’s level at all; in a direct fight, he had no chance.
Beside him, Qiu Yinshan glanced at Huo Yuan and then said gravely, "Today, I don’t wish to fight you here. Leave quickly, or if we join forces, you won’t get anything good out of it."
"Let him go?"
Xuan Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He quickly said, "Are you kidding? He’s already killed Wang Zhan, we can’t just let him leave like this, can we?"
"Do as I say."
Qiu Yinshan’s attitude was extremely adamant.
Beside him, Xuan Yu was somewhat unwilling, but still stepped aside without saying more.
Huo Yuan stared at them for a while before coldly saying, "Very well, don’t think today’s matter is over. Your Profound Ice Pavilion can wait for my Skyfire Mountain’s people to come and bring death upon you."
As he spoke, Huo Yuan disappeared before their eyes.
After watching Huo Yuan leave, Xuan Yu looked at Qiu Yinshan beside him and quickly said, "Do you know he killed Wang Zhan? Wang Zhan helped us make a great contribution; without his help, we couldn’t have defeated the Skyfire Venerable."
"The great battle is imminent, how can we just let Huo Yuan go like this?"
Ha...
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yinshan glared at Xuan Yu and coldly said, "Foolish!"
"Didn’t you see the Fire Deity Axe in Huo Yuan’s hand?"
"My strength is already inferior to Huo Yuan, and with the support of divine weapons and sharp tools, even if we all risked our lives, at most we could only heavily injure him; do you think it’s worth it?"
Xuan Yu frowned and said, "But Wang Zhan..."
"I know."
Qiu Yinshan said solemnly, "I can understand your feelings now, but do you think I’m not pained?"
"We will settle this deep-seated hatred sooner or later, so why rush it?"
"The domain lord will soon be leaving seclusion, and then will be the time for our decisive battle!"
