Chapter 1965: Chapter 1958: There Are 22 More That Are Stronger Than You
"Really?" Li Yang looked up at Zhang Menglong. He suddenly realized that among the large group of Dao Realm martial artists present, there were even thousands stronger than him, yet these people faintly seemed to follow this young man who was merely at the Peak of Dao Realm.
"Such a large Divine Profound Hall, can’t expect me to take charge, right? Whoever wants it can have it. I think you are just right to be the founder of this Divine Profound Hall!"
"Who are you?" Only then did Li Yang remember to ask about Zhang Menglong’s identity.
"Me? Just an ordinary outer sect disciple of Sunset Sect," Zhang Menglong pointed to the Sunset Sect emblem on his chest.
"Outer sect disciple?" Li Yang was naturally not convinced that he was merely an ordinary outer sect disciple; if he were truly just an ordinary outer sect disciple, how could he command even Dao Realm martial artists?
But Li Yang was also a smart person; he knew what questions to ask and what not to ask. Clearly, now wasn’t the time to fuss over Zhang Menglong’s identity.
"The Prison of Sin has disappeared." Long Sen beside Zhang Menglong said calmly.
Zhang Menglong turned around, and the last inch of the Prison of Sin was completely devoured by the strange fire; they could still hear some screams coming from the Prison.
"There are still quite a few people in this Prison of Sin!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself.
The people he rescued from the Prison were only a small portion; the rest still became nourishment for the strange fire.
This strange fire in the Prison had never swallowed so much life energy at once. These people were practically ten times or hundred times the amount devoured before!
Having grown over countless years, a faint intelligence had already been born in the fire, and now it was suddenly entering a fierce growth period.
Zhang Menglong clearly felt a tremendous will arising; the flames began to gather consciously, as if summoned by some power.
"The surrounding temperature has dropped."
"What’s going on? Is the Prison’s strange fire going to disappear? Could it be that following the death of the old bastard, the strange fire perished with it?"
"Was what just happened the dying counterattack of the Prison’s strange fire?"
"No, don’t you feel a rapidly expanding force, brothers?"
"Oh, now that you’ve said it..."
"It seems like the Prison’s strange fire suddenly came to life."
...
"It’s alive." Zhang Menglong’s expression was calm, just looking in the direction of the strange fire of the Prison.
The Prison had completely disappeared under the burning fire, and flames covering half of the fortress gathered into a fireball with a radius of only about 10 meters.
As the fireball continued to gather, a body entirely condensed from flames appeared in front of everyone.
It was about two meters tall, with a structure almost indistinguishable from humans, except its gender couldn’t be discerned.
It calmly touched its head, eyes slightly closed, as if enjoying the newly acquired body.
"Hello, do you need something?" Zhang Menglong waved towards the strange fire.
The strange fire paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Menglong and the others, "I just felt a lot of power; are you the ones who killed the owner of the Flaming Divine Nation?"
"Did you liberate me?"
"That’s right," Zhang Menglong smiled, "Don’t thank me too much, I go by Lei Feng."
"So much energy!" The strange fire licked its tongue, sensing a large batch of energy in front of it.
Due to absorbing too much negative energy and death aura, the intelligence of this strange fire was extremely evil since its birth, seeing everything as nourishment for its growth.
"As thanks, I’ll turn you into part of my energy," the strange fire said with an evil grin and started walking towards Zhang Menglong and his group.
Everyone couldn’t help but take a few steps back; even the gaze of the strange fire was filled with a scorching heat, as if it wanted to burn everyone dry; after devouring the energy of all living beings in the Prison, it became even stronger.
"Brother Gu Xiao, this strange fire from the Prison is a rarity with infinite potential; with so much energy devoured, its power has grown to almost uncontrollable levels, even I can’t easily withstand the scorching of soul and flesh combined."
Bei Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; in his life, he had seen many extreme things—flames, ice, fierce winds—but none could compare to this strange fire.
"Yes, Brother Gu Xiao," the Valley Master of Shennong Valley also spoke, "As Alchemists, we’ve seen many flames, but none that reach such temperatures; its energy is simply tens of thousands of times that of an ordinary Peak Dao Realm martial artist!"
"With such abundant energy, even if its body were shattered, I think it could restore itself instantly."
"I know," Zhang Menglong remained very calm, "There are two things I’m best at in my life; one is playing tricks, and the other is playing with fire. In the matter of playing with fire, I’ve never lost."
Zhang Menglong also walked towards the strange fire, his expression even full of amusement.
"Oh?" The strange fire looked at Zhang Menglong with interest, "I sense several flame powers hidden in your body, and they’re quite strong. I wonder to what extent I could grow after devouring them?"
"I think you’re pretty good too," Zhang Menglong said, "I have several kinds of strange fire on me, some for cooking, some for keeping warm; I just happen to be short one for lighting cigarettes. I think you’d be just right, how about teaming up with me?"
"Such arrogance!" The strange fire pointed forward, and a path of flame immediately headed towards Zhang Menglong; where it passed, the space warped strangely, and the ground was filled with a heavy scent of scorching.
"Don’t think my flames are inferior to yours?" Zhang Menglong’s body suddenly emitted a cluster of strange fire, and it also advanced along the ground.
As Zhang Menglong’s strength grew to the peak of Divine Profound Hall, he had always been able to use only a fraction of the strange fire’s power, but now what he invoked was the most complete strange fire!
With the emergence of strange fire, all fires bow down!
Though the strange fire is exceptionally powerful, its level is still a notch below the strange fire.
The strange fire’s expression changed dramatically; it originally thought itself powerful enough but did not expect the golden flame before it to be even more formidable, even sensing that those flames were retracing towards its body.
Its own energy was fearing the flame from Zhang Menglong’s body!
"What kind of fire is this?" The strange fire’s expression was filled with dread, "Why? Why, after swallowing so much energy, am I still no match?"
"Brother, don’t be too downhearted," Zhang Menglong sighed, "There are twenty-two types of flames more powerful than yours, not just this one!"
