Chapter 608 Thunder Flame Golden Crystal
"A battle to the death, do you dare?"

Qi Feiyu stared at Luo Cheng with eyes as sharp as needles, his cold and stern voice echoing throughout the outer gate square.

Luo Cheng stared intently at Qi Feiyu, about to speak.

Crack!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and appeared in front of Luo Cheng, from which a figure emerged.

The old man had white hair and beard, an extremely robust build, unibrows, and wore a large yellow robe. There were also traces of lightning flashing around him, giving people a sense of mental pressure just by standing there!

"Elder Mingzong!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the inner sect elders present all bowed in greeting.

Elder Mingzong looked directly at Luo Cheng and said, "Luo Cheng, I have something to discuss with you. Come with me!"

Luo Cheng's crushing defeat at the hands of Yi Yao has already greatly pleased the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect!
Qi Feiyu, as one of the top ten seed disciples of the inner sect and a personal disciple of Elder Shi Huang, not only comprehended 70% of the rudimentary form of sword intent, but also cultivated the most advanced techniques and martial arts of the Xuan Yuan Sect, making his combat strength extraordinary!
Luo Cheng was able to defeat Yu Yiyao, but he would find it difficult to contend with Qi Feiyu.

Therefore, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong stepped forward, intending to forcibly take Luo Cheng away to prevent him from suffering losses.

Seeing Luo Cheng about to be taken away, Qi Feiyu's expression suddenly turned grim. He had no intention of letting the matter rest, so he immediately took a deep breath and said:
"Elder Mingzong..."

Ok?
The Supreme Elder of Mingzong frowned, his eyes fixed on Qi Feiyu, lightning flashing in his pupils. His powerful aura forced Qi Feiyu to shut up.

snort!
At that moment, a muffled groan exploded in the sky.

brush!
A flash of fire appeared in the void, and a figure completely enveloped in intense flames descended above the plaza, hanging high like the sun. Its domineering aura raised the temperature of the entire plaza.

"Elder Shi Huang!"

The expressions of everyone present immediately changed, as they had not expected that another Supreme Elder would personally descend upon them.

Many inner sect elders were well aware that Elder Shi Huang was a supporter of the Crown Prince's Hall and had always been at odds with Elder Mingzong. His appearance at this moment was no coincidence.

Elder Shi Huang glanced down at Luo Cheng, his eyes like the sun falling to earth, instilling fear in those who looked down and giving them an urge to kneel down.

Luo Cheng frowned slightly, golden ripples appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, but his expression remained unchanged.

Ha ha!

Elder Shi Huang narrowed his eyes, sneered, and then looked at Elder Mingzong, saying:
"Elder Mingzong, this is a dispute between disciples, and they should resolve it themselves. It's probably not appropriate for you to interfere now!"

"What's wrong!"

The Supreme Elder of Mingzong was known for his fiery temper and completely ignored Elder Shihuang, speaking instead to Luo Cheng:

"Luo Cheng, let's go!"

After saying this, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong grabbed Luo Cheng's arm and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Qi Feiyu hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"Elder, I have a prior agreement with Luo Cheng, and this battle is inevitable! Please let him fight me first!"

"Shut up! You, one of the top ten disciples of the inner sect, are challenging a peak eighth-level Awakening Pulse Realm expert? Don't you feel ashamed?"

The Supreme Elder of Mingzong glared, about to erupt in anger.

At this moment, Luo Cheng spoke up.

"Elder Mingzong is right, this battle is inevitable."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong frowned deeply, a surge of anger rising within him. He was secretly annoyed that Luo Cheng was so ignorant of his place, as if he thought the Ten Seed Disciples were pushovers!
"Stop talking nonsense! Alright, we'll talk about the duel later..."

The Supreme Elder of Mingzong didn't want anything to happen to Luo Cheng, so he insisted on taking him away by force.

Luo Cheng was helpless. He could naturally see what the Mingzong Grand Elder was worried about, but he was surprised that it was the other party who appeared instead of the Kui Shui Grand Elder.

He remembered that when they first met, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong didn't even bother to speak to him, but now he valued him so much.

“Indeed, strength is everything. Only when you are outstanding enough will others take you seriously…” Luo Cheng sighed inwardly, knowing that it would be difficult to persuade the other party. He immediately had a thought and urged his sword intent to flow along his arm toward the palm of the Mingzong Grand Elder.

Um!!!!?
The Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect, who was about to leave, suddenly trembled, looking at Luo Cheng in disbelief. His eyes flashed with lightning, piercingly insightful: "You..."

Luo Cheng nodded slightly, giving the other party a reassuring look.

At this moment, Elder Shi Huang landed beside Qi Feiyu, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"Elder Mingzong, the two of them have voluntarily chosen to fight to the death, and no one has the right to stop them. If you take him away now, you will only make him bear the reputation of deserting in the face of battle, and he will never be able to hold his head up in public again. You will also be condemned for being unfair."

His tone was indifferent, but he showed no intention of backing down, directly slapping a heavy label on the Supreme Elder of Mingzong, and confronting him head-on.

Normally, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong would have been furious and enraged, but now he was surprisingly calm, and instead nodded and said:

"Since they have both volunteered for a life-or-death duel, we should naturally agree. However..."

Changing the subject, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong pointed at Qi Feiyu and said, "Shi Huang, you insist on a life-or-death duel between them. Aren't you afraid that this kid will be defeated in the gutter today? A disciple personally taught by a Supreme Elder, a peak expert at the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm, if he is killed by an expert at the eighth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm, it won't sound good if word gets out."

Elder Shi Huang sneered: "Don't worry, there's absolutely no possibility of that. The disciples I've trained are not as incompetent as yours, who have no strength yet still engage in life-or-death duels and end up with no complete corpses."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire square instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Those who knew the inside story dared not even breathe loudly.

Ten years ago, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong took in a disciple who was exceptionally talented. He awakened a ten-star spirit martial soul and entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm before the age of eighteen, becoming a powerful expert. It was even rumored that he would have the opportunity to be listed on the Domain Ranking in the future!

However, perhaps because he achieved fame and success at a young age, he became arrogant. During one of his training trips, he encountered a disciple of the Lieyun Sect whose cultivation was superior to his own. The two disagreed and decided to fight to the death, but he ended up dying without a complete corpse.

This matter has always been a thorn in the side of the Supreme Elder of Mingzong, so for the past ten years or so, he has not accepted any disciples and has been in seclusion. He never expected that the Supreme Elder Shihuang would bring up this old matter again today!
The Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect twitched his brows sharply, and lightning crackled around him, almost distorting the space around him. Everyone felt a suffocating sensation as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Just as everyone thought a great storm was about to break, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong took a deep breath, stared at Supreme Elder Shihuang, and sneered:

"Shi Huang, since you are so confident in your disciple, while I favor Luo Cheng, let's make a bet!"

"Oh? What do you want to bet?"

Elder Shi Huang flicked his fingers dismissively.

The Supreme Elder of Mingzong said, "I heard that you recently obtained a Thunderflame Golden Crystal."

"Thunder Flame Golden Crystal!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi Huang's face turned cold.

The Thunderflame Golden Crystal is a treasure that takes ten thousand years to condense from the Thunder Spirit Qi and Fire Spirit Qi. It fell into his hands by chance and is of great benefit to his fire-type cultivation technique. He did not expect that the Supreme Elder of Ming Sect would ask to gamble on this as soon as he opened his mouth. It was simply outrageous!
"What, you're afraid to gamble?"

When the Supreme Elder of Mingzong saw that the other party did not agree, he immediately sneered.

"Hmph, what do I have to be afraid of! I, Shi Huang Zhenren, have never lost to anyone!"

Elder Shi Huang snorted coldly and said, "But what do you have to bet on my Thunderflame Golden Crystal?"

"this!"

Without wasting words, the Supreme Elder of Mingzong flicked his finger, and a plant half a foot tall, fiery red like glass, with seven leaves, appeared in his palm. As his aura flowed, seven stars faintly shone.

As soon as the plant appeared, Luo Cheng immediately felt an incomparably domineering aura rushing towards him, penetrating his body through every pore!

For a moment, he had the illusion that he was about to be ignited. He activated his protective energy and felt a little more at ease. He was amazed. As expected of the Supreme Elder, even the things he casually took out were treasures like Seven-Star Spiritual Plants!

"Seven-Leaf Flame Grass!"

Upon seeing the spiritual herb, Shi Huang's eyes lit up. In terms of rarity, this Seven-Leaf Flame Grass was slightly inferior to his Thunderflame Golden Crystal, but its value lay in being a fire-attribute spiritual plant, making it more useful to him than the Thunderflame Golden Crystal!
"Alright! I'll take your Seven-Leaf Flame Grass!"

Elder Shi Huang patted Qi Feiyu gently, glanced at Luo Cheng, and couldn't help but laugh.
