Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 74 The Calamity of Evil Fire, Red Lotus Karmic Fire

"Well, Hongjun did make some mistakes, and I apologize on his behalf, but he doesn't deserve to die."

Flanders pleaded.

"Really?"

Ning Qiuyang activated his Past Life Attribution Domain, and the scene rapidly rewound to an earlier time.

The Ma Hongjun in the picture is a few years younger than he is now. He is arguing with a girl whose skin is covered in sores, as if it has been burned from the inside out.

Upon seeing the girl, Ma Hongjun's expression changed, and he appeared extremely guilty.

Flanders looked even more surprised, as if he had thought of something.

The girl in the video asks, "Ma Hongjun, you've ruined me and then abandoned me. Do you have any conscience at all?"

Ma Hongjun said impatiently:
"Who knows what strange illness you have? And you're blaming me for this? Get out of here, we're over."

"Ma Hongjun, I'll fight you to the death."

The woman lunged at Ma Hongjun like a madwoman.

"I've already inquired about it. Several of your previous girlfriends ended up like me because of you. One was an accident, but are all of our situations accidents?"

Ma Hongjun initially seemed to be in the wrong and kept dodging.

But noticing that someone was looking at them, Ma Hongjun, not wanting to attract more attention, kicked the poor woman in the stomach.

"You lunatic, if you dare to harass me again, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

After saying that, Ma Hongjun in the video didn't even glance at the woman before turning and leaving.

The scene didn't end there; instead, it moved to Shrek Academy.

“Hongjun, you should tone it down a bit. If you want to vent your anger, why don’t you spend some money in the city? Why do you have to find a girlfriend? You can’t even handle your own anger, let alone those girls who aren’t even Soul Masters. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, they will definitely be plagued by fire poison, and it may even endanger their lives.”

Flanders earnestly advised him.

He wasn't necessarily that concerned about the girls who had been harmed by Ma Hongjun; rather, it was the fact that these women were causing trouble at Shrek Academy that was giving him a headache.

Although he was a cunning businessman who liked to deceive and brainwash students, he wouldn't have gone so far as to kill the poor girl who had been harmed by Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun said without a care:

"Going to those kinds of places costs money, and the quality is generally poor. These girls from the countryside are easy to fool, and it's cleaner than spending money in the city."

"As for their inability to withstand my lust, that's their problem, not mine."

After saying that, Ma Hongjun left impatiently.

Flander simply sighed and did not sternly order Ma Hongjun not to do so.

At this point in the scene, even though Xiao Wu is Ma Hongjun's companion, she is very dissatisfied with Ma Hongjun's behavior.

"How could the fat guy act like this? He's not a real man."

Tang San frowned and said, "Who knows if this is an illusion created by Ning Qiuyang? Even if it is, Fatty is still our brother. Even if he's wrong, we should be the ones advising him. What right does Ning Qiuyang have to judge him?"

Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then said:
"Brother, you're right. Fatty is wrong. The dean and the master should educate him."

Compared to these two incredible things, the girls around Ning Qiuyang were all indignant and wished they could beat Ma Hongjun to death.

“Brother Qiuyang, this fat man is not only disgusting, but also so vicious. You must not let him off easily,” Zhu Zhuqing said.

Qian Renxue's eyes were icy cold, and she looked at Ma Hongjun as if he were a dead man.

But Ning Qiuyang was not happy that Ma Hongjun's ugly and dark side had been exposed.

Ma Hongjun was one of those favored by fate, but the trial he underwent this time was not recognized by the gods.

The divine trial indicated that it required a trial under the watchful eyes of the masses, and it is very likely that it failed because too few people were paying attention.

It seems that to complete the Fifth Divine Trial, one needs to choose a time and place that attracts widespread attention.

Although he failed to complete a trial, Ning Qiuyang had no intention of letting Ma Hongjun off easily. A bewitching crimson flame appeared out of thin air, enveloping Ma Hongjun.

"Ah~"

As the dazzling flames rose, Ma Hongjun let out a blood-curdling scream.

"Teacher, please save me!"

This flame is called Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, and it is a soul skill attached to Ning Qiuyang's fourth soul ring.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire is the fire of karmic retribution. The heavier the karma and the more sins one has committed, the more suffering one will experience under the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and the stronger the power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Ma Hongjun is currently in extreme pain.

His Evil Fire Phoenix was originally a fire-attribute martial soul, so he had a high resistance to flames. However, in the face of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, his flame resistance was as if it didn't exist. He suffered unbearable pain from body to soul.

"Hongjun".

Flander was extremely anxious and disregarded whether there were any Title Douluos in the hall. He re-entered his Martial Soul True Body state and charged towards Ning Qiuyang.

"Like master, like disciple. Get back here."

Qian Renxue also used her seventh soul skill to enter the true form of the Dark Angel martial soul.

Three pairs of black wings appeared behind him, and her speed almost doubled compared to before.

Flander was in a hurry to save Ma Hongjun, and he hadn't expected Qian Renxue's speed to increase so much. When Qian Renxue's Netherworld Sword came in front of him, it was too late for him to dodge completely.

"Flander, get out of the way!" Yu Xiaogang shouted.

Yu Xiaogang knew to tell Flander to dodge, so how could he not know? Yet Qian Renxue's sword was almost piercing his chest.

In desperation, Flander had no choice but to forcefully use his fifth soul skill and confront Qian Renxue head-on.

The results are obvious.

Qian Renxue's Netherworld Sword easily pierced through Flander's soul skill, leaving a hideous wound on Flander's left shoulder and right abdomen.

The Netherworld Sword is tainted by Netherworld energy, making its wounds extremely difficult to heal.

Flander's previous wounds were still there, and with this severe injury, his face turned deathly pale.

"Flander, are you alright?"

Yu Xiaogang asked with concern.

Now only Flander is still able to move. If he also falls, they will really have no chance to turn the tide.

"I'm not going to die anytime soon," Flander said, forcing himself to stay calm.

Ma Hongjun's screams never stopped, but now they had become hoarse and weak.

Flander still wanted to save Ma Hongjun, but he was already powerless to do so. Forcing Ma Hongjun to save him would only cost him his own life.

Ning Qiuyang threw the lifeless Ma Hongjun far away.

The dying Ma Hongjun clutched his genitals and twisted in agony, his lewd, fat face contorted in a grotesque grimace.

"Hongjun, how are you?"

Ignoring his bleeding wound, Flander forced himself to walk to Ma Hongjun's side.

But Ma Hongjun just kept twisting and trembling, unable to utter a single word.

A hint of doubt flashed across Qian Renxue's brows, but in the next moment, Ning Qiuyang disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, a voice that had been exposed was heard.

"Ning Qiuyang, it's you again! You let my mistress go."
