Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

The battle resumed. People closely followed the two men's movements, speculating on the outcome based on the battle's progress.

No matter how amazing Chu Xinghe was or how much of a commotion he caused, the scales of victory in people's hearts still tipped in favor of Nangong Chi.

Although Nangong Chi has no presence, her past actions are enough to make everyone take her seriously.

She instantly defeated the number one Nascent Soul Realm expert, and people didn't even see how she did it. Now that they have the opportunity, everyone wants to find out.

What kind of method could defeat a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in an instant?

Furthermore, how many moves can the invincible Chu Xinghe withstand from her?

People watched intently, filled with questions and trepidation.

Not only were the Haoran Immortal Sect members uneasy, but the higher-ups of the Taixu Sword Sect, including Kong Jian, were also anxious. Chu Xinghe had already exchanged several blows with Nangong Chi and was not at a disadvantage. To be honest... they were a little panicked.

"My move is very powerful. If you can't block it, you might be seriously injured. Are you sure you want to take it?"

To everyone's surprise, after Nangong Chi prepared his ultimate move, he did not attack immediately, but instead gave a warning beforehand.

Chu Xinghe was also taken aback, not expecting Nangong Chi to remind him. He nodded politely in response, then said, "Come on."

Nangong Chi nodded and formed a hand seal.

The runes carved in the void spread out from her, drifting in all directions and dyeing the entire sky fiery red.

"Has this meant the sun has been brought down from the sky?"

Chang Wen looked up, worried that Chu Xinghe wouldn't be able to catch it. A few days ago... Nangong Chi used this move to instantly defeat Jiang Cheng, its power was extraordinary.

The other members of the Haoran Immortal Sect shared the same thoughts, their eyes filled with worry. Some had already closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

Not long after.

Wisps of fire transformed into thin lines as thick as a thumb, taking root in the fiery domain at the foot of Nangong Pool, and hurtling towards Chu Xinghe at incredible speed. Wherever they passed, space was burned into nothingness.

"What is this? It can even burn through space?"

This time, the disciples finally saw through Nangong Chi's moves and carefully identified the types of attacks. At the same time, their eyes showed shock.

"It looks like a fire-type attack."

"What kind of fire can burn through space? Are there any fire-attribute fellow practitioners who can answer this question?"

"I am of the fire attribute. But my fire is a man-made spiritual fire, which is impossible for me to achieve. Therefore, Nangong Chi's flames are very likely a strange fire born from heaven and earth."

Strange Fire!

Two words were enough to silence the crowd and make them question their existence.

According to ancient records, such strange flames only exist in legends. Their power is said to be so great that even a Mahayana realm expert cannot contain them. How could Nangong Chi, merely a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, possess a strange flame?

"What is a strange fire?"

Chang Wen was stunned when he heard his disciples talking about it. He was a bookworm and was familiar with those two words. He just didn't know if they were the same thing.

"Young master, the strange fire is a source of fire born in response to heaven and earth, representing the limit of fire-attribute energy. It possesses the power to destroy the world. It only exists in legends."

The maid behind him offered an explanation.

Chang Wen nodded, deeply moved. He never imagined that something that only existed in novels actually existed in the real world.

However, this made him even more worried about Chu Xinghe's safety.

Imagine, who would carry such a strange fire with them?

Could it be an ordinary person?

He's definitely destined to be the protagonist!

Although Chu Xinghe was a reborn powerful being, he was still a whole realm lower than Nangong Chi, putting him at a disadvantage. His life might even be in danger!

Shen Nianqing also became more serious.

She sensed the aura of the strange fire when Nangong Chi was fighting Jiang Cheng, and she didn't expect it to be a strange fire.

"Jiangcheng's defeat was not unjust."

That's what she thought.

The Strange Flame, the King of All Flames. It is a sacred artifact comparable to an Emperor's Weapon, and is far beyond human capability to defeat.

To her surprise, Nangong Chi was able to store the strange fire within his body despite his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

Normally speaking, strange fire has extremely strong destructive power. Even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana realm would be burned if they touched it, which shows its destructive power.

"It seems that the Taixu Sword Sect has gone to great lengths for this."

"Fortunately, she only stored the strange fire within her body and did not completely refine it. Otherwise, no matter how strong my third senior brother is, he would not be able to defeat her."

Shen Nianqing quickly made an analysis.

"Nianqing, if you were to encounter Nangong Chi, what are your chances of winning?"

Just then, Chang Wen's voice came.

"Sixty percent."

Shen Nianqing said conservatively.

Nangong Chi hasn't fully refined the strange fire yet, so she can't unleash its full power. Without resorting to forbidden methods, she's 60% confident of winning.

If forbidden methods are used, then it's a sure thing. After all, he's reincarnated ninety-nine times; his reputation isn't undeserved.

However, that would expose my reincarnation identity, which isn't worth it.

However, if she were currently at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, on the same starting line as Nangong Chi, she could win without resorting to forbidden methods.

Of course, one shouldn't be too arrogant. If one day Nangong Chi completely refines the strange fire, things will naturally be different.

"Six out of ten..."

Chang Wen had already made up his mind and didn't ask any more questions. Since Shen Nianqing could accurately give the odds of winning, it meant that she could see through Nangong Chi's true intentions.

Similarly, Chu Xinghe should be able to see through it too. Since he can see through it and still chooses to fight, then he has nothing to worry about.

I gathered my thoughts, calmed myself, and continued watching.

I thought Chu Xinghe's attack would be reduced to ashes by the strange fire, but unexpectedly it was blocked and even melted away!

"What is this thing? How can it block strange fire?"

People were stunned.

"Only such grace and elegance deserves to be called a peerless genius."

What they found unbelievable was not only that Chu Xinghe had blocked the strange fire, but also that he had remained undefeated against Nangong Chi.

This means that Chu Xinghe, at the Golden Core stage, already possesses the power to fight against a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. What does that mean?

It will be recorded in history without any embellishment.

"Junior Brother Xinghe is awesome! Go for it!"

All disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect pricked up their ears, listening to the sound of the Taixu Sword Sect breaking through its defenses.

Again.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

While the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect were releasing their pent-up emotions, the Taixu Sword Sect was in stark contrast, as if shrouded in gloom.

Even Kong Jian, who had remained calm throughout, couldn't help but furrow his brow. Something was unexpectedly unpleasant.

He never imagined that Chu Xinghe could be so monstrous.

With his Golden Core cultivation, he managed to stop Nangong Chi, who possessed a strange fire? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe it?

This is simply unbelievable!

"This child's talent is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of Taiyi! He must not be allowed to live!"

The peak master of the Taixu Sword Sect, driven by wickedness, has begun plotting to eliminate Chu Xinghe.

"Indeed. This child's talent is too extraordinary; once he grows up, he will surely become a major threat to our Taixu Sword Sect. He must be eliminated!"

The other peak masters all echoed this viewpoint.

"We'll discuss this later. He can hold his own, but he's not capable of defeating Chi'er."

Kong Jian made the final decision.

Seeing that Kong Jian was confident, the peak masters temporarily put aside their concerns and watched the two fight again.
