Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 458 It’s a girl, not a boy!
Relying on his own judgment, the old man was able to conclude almost instantly that the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him must be a soul body whose strength was not inferior to his!

For a moment, the old man who was previously known as the master of the continent suddenly lost his previous calm and composed attitude, and instead became somewhat doubtful and uncertain.

"You, who are you?!"

Hearing this, Yao Lao smiled calmly and said, "You are just a lonely ghost, why bother asking your name? I see that your body has turned to dry bones. I believe you can understand this obsession better than others."

"Hmph!" The old man's face became noticeably uglier. "You're being secretive! I have no intention of harming your disciple!"

After saying this, the old man rolled up his sleeves and stepped back cautiously, his eyes gradually filled with solemnity and fear.

Although the other party was silent, the old man had already discovered through the probing words he had given earlier that the soul pressure displayed by the other party was definitely not inferior to his own!

If it were his prime, the old man would have no fear at all, but the endless passage of time had already drained away most of his spiritual power, leaving him no longer able to be on guard.

After all, a soul with unknown origins, unclear attitudes, and even unfathomable strength could pose a threat so great that it could even surpass the Heart Flame World itself.
After thinking for a moment, the old man glanced at the anxious girl and said straight to the point: "My name is Yao Tianhuo. Others sometimes call me Venerable Tianhuo."

"Your Majesty?"

Hearing this address, Hun Ruoruo's body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief. "You mean, you were once a Dou Zun-level expert?"

"That's right." The old man nodded proudly. "Although I am only a remnant of my soul, as a Dou Zun, I would definitely not bother to attack a youngster like you."

Looking at the girl's starry eyes, the old man who called himself Yao Tianhuo breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

He knew very well that the year of the birth of the Fallen Heart Flame larvae alone was enough to cause earth-shaking changes in the outside world, and his reputation as the Skyfire Venerable must have disappeared from the continent for a long time.

Since there was no possibility of his enemies coming to seek revenge, directly revealing his real name was obviously the right decision. Even if the master and disciple in front of him coveted his wealth, the worst that could happen was that they would give it all away.
The chance to survive is more valuable than any wealth!
As expected, upon hearing the title of 'Skyfire Venerable', Yao Lao was startled and said in amazement, "As a Dou Zun-level expert, he would actually die in this Heart Flame World. It seems that I have underestimated this place."

Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in the old man's eyes, and it was obvious that he was deeply traumatized by his past experiences.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Skyfire Venerable could only sigh and say, "Back then, relying on my abilities, I thought the world was vast and I could roam freely with the power of Dou Zun. Therefore, after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame, I chose not to leave, but instead dived into this magma world."

"As you can see, this young Fallen Heart Flame is the treasure I found all those years ago. Although it was just a seed of strange fire at the time, I, in attempting to fuse it, ended up severely injured and near death. I was ultimately killed by a sneak attack."

"A sneak attack?" Yao Lao frowned, then seemed to remember something and asked with some certainty, "Are you talking about those creatures hiding in the magma?"

When exploring this place previously, Yao Lao had detected many powerful auras with his soul power, but with the help of Hun Ruoruo's camouflage fighting skills, most of those creatures ignored the barrier, so naturally there was no chance for a fight.

"You haven't met that lizard man?" Hearing Yao Lao's doubts, Venerable Tianhuo's expression gradually became a little strange.

Yao Lao smiled and nodded: "Perhaps it is the fortune brought by my disciple."

“Well, I have to say that you are really lucky to have stumbled into this place. The reason why I died was because I was ambushed by a Dou Zun-level lizard.” Tianhuo Zun sighed and said with envy.

Seeing that the conversation was running out of topics, the smile on Venerable Tianhuo's face gradually froze, and he felt extremely depressed by the other party's flawless answer.

This seemingly kind old fox is really a man who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit!
Cursing inwardly, the old man glanced around and then set his sights on the 'young man' again.

Thinking of Yao Lao's previous attitude towards Hun Ruoruo, Venerable Tianhuo's eyes turned slightly and he immediately came up with a plan.

He coughed lightly and pretended to speak deliberately, "Boy, although your master is quite powerful, when it comes to playing with fire, he may not be as proficient as I am. You and I are both masters of the Fallen Heart Flame. I would like to teach you the method of controlling fire. What do you think?"

Seeing that the other party was targeting Hun Ruoruo again, Yao Lao's eyelids twitched, but he simply pretended not to notice, blending into the air. "The method of controlling fire?" Hun Ruoruo tilted his head curiously. After thinking for a moment, he sighed with a sense of sorrow and said apologetically, "Don't blame me, old sir. I'm afraid Ruoruo can't agree to this."

Rejected?!
Venerable Tianhuo's face twitched, and he could hardly believe his ears.

I am a powerful Dou Zun, but I was rejected by the juniors when I wanted to teach them my unique skills. If this gets out, won’t I be completely embarrassed?
He seemed unwilling to give up, and continued to persuade him patiently, "Well, boy, I know you have a master, and I don't want you to do such disloyalty or unfilial behavior. As long as you are willing to teach, I will teach you with all my strength. I only need you to agree to a small condition. How about it?"

Hun Ruoruo was frightened and stepped back repeatedly, her face extremely nervous: "I'm afraid Ruoruo is really powerless to help with this matter. You should find someone else!"

"I have rashly intruded upon you and disturbed your meditation. I hope you will forgive me, old sir. Ruoruo will leave with Master now."

After saying that, the girl bowed deeply to the other party and hurriedly walked out of the barrier.

"You, you brat!"

Venerable Tianhuo was so angry that his nose was crooked and he was trembling and unable to speak for a long time.

Pure cultivation?

He's almost dying!
This kid looks well-behaved and timid, how could he say such cold and heartless words to an old man like me?
Seeing the old man's soul flickering, Yao Lao shook his head, and finally opened his mouth and scolded:

"Ruoruo, Mr. Yao is an elder. Although he tried to test you before, he had no ill intentions. Don't make it too difficult for him."

Hearing Yao Lao's scolding, Hun Ruoruo immediately pouted, then stood back to Yao Lao's side very obediently, and stuck out her tongue in the direction of Venerable Tianhuo.

Seeing this, Yao Lao smiled helplessly and clasped his fists, saying, "This girl has such a personality. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Mr. Yao."

Although Yao Lao knew that the other party's soul strength was much lower than his own, in terms of age, the other party who had watched the Fallen Heart Flame Spark grow into a larva was obviously more than one generation older than him, so naturally he had to give him some respect.

"Girl?" The old man was stunned. "You said this kid is a girl? Impossible. The masculine energy mixed with the Fallen Heart Flame is so intense that even this old man is a little surprised. Unless she has an unparalleled pure fire constitution, it is absolutely impossible!"

Yao Lao said meaningfully, "Haha, although she doesn't have the fire attribute, this girl does possess a pure fighting spirit."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The old man waved his hands and laughed. "With my countless years of research on the art of controlling fire, any other cultivator with Dou Qi attributes could never possess such pure Yang Qi, let alone a girl. If my judgment is wrong, you can say whatever you want."

When it came to playing with fire, Venerable Tianhuo was obviously extremely stubborn. Even his previous attitude of asking for help from others became a bit tougher, and he looked extremely conceited.

However, before he could continue speaking, something strange happened at this moment!

Columns of water rose from the ground, appearing extremely dazzling in this world wrapped in magma.

The water flows intersected with each other and eventually formed an arch-like shape, which set off the girl's delicate body in the center like stars surrounding the moon.

At some point, a blue flame quietly ignited from the palm of her hand, just like the surging tide and the flowing charm.

"It's a girl, not a boy, old man."

Hun Ruoruo smiled lightly, revealing a cunning arc of success, "I'm willing to accept the loss."

Staring at the master and disciple in front of him with his eyes wide open, Venerable Skyfire felt as if his throat was being pinched by an invisible hand, and his heart was trembling violently.

It's over, I'm on the pirate ship.
