Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 73 The truth comes out, is it a fight to the death?

"Ring~~~"

The magical artifact "Frost Iron Spikes" was pulled out from the Flame Witch's body.

She quickly took the Fire Calamity Fruit and breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that it was safe and sound.

Since the death of Old Flame Princess, she has valued this Fire Calamity Fruit more than her own life.

If the Fire Calamity Fruit is stolen, the lineage of the Flame Maiden clan will be lost in her hands.

The Flame Witch first expressed her gratitude to Cheng Xiao, then fixed her angry gaze on the man in white.

The sudden change caused the Flame Witch to break free of her seal, creating a terrifying, suffocating aura that everyone present felt!

Even though the cold poison was still inside the Flame Witch's body, the 'Cold Iron Spikes' had already been removed.

Even if the Flame Witch wasn't at her peak strength, she was still beyond the capabilities of Zhao Yulin and his group.

"Chen Ying, before you set off to help your mother, shouldn't you think carefully about what kind of magic your mother possesses?" Cheng Xiao said using telepathy.

Chen Ying stopped in her tracks as she took her first step, and even Zhao Yulin under the Starry Sky Tree paused, as if he had remembered something.

Cheng Xiao's voice echoed in everyone's minds, and the Flame Witch naturally heard it as well.

Although she was furious, she still wanted to first confess everything to her daughter and resolve her inner conflict.

"My father said that my mother majored in fire, minored in earth, and secondarily in space."

Chen Ying muttered to herself, her pupils widening as she looked at the person in white.

"You haven't broken through to the Super Rank, and Jiang Feng hasn't awakened her cultivation of the Curse element. You are not Jiang Feng!"

Zhao Yulin belatedly realized what was happening and stared at the white-clothed figure with a look of horror.

Cheng Xiao stared at the man in white cloth, a half-smile on his face, and said:

"More than a decade ago, a high-ranking mage codenamed 'Ghost Woman' was wanted by the Dunhuang Military Region and has not been captured to this day."

"Interestingly, the ghost woman's last known location was in the northern corner of the Scorching Plains, which coincided with the outbreak of the Heavenly Fire Calamity."

"Impossible! Impossible! If she's a ghost woman, then where did Jiang Feng go?" Zhao Yulin stared intently at the ghost woman.

"You murdered Jiang Feng?!"

The white-clothed ghost woman's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty; she didn't know whether to run or not.

With the Flame Witch around, she has no chance of escaping.

But if we don't run, are we just going to wait for this guy who suddenly appears to expose our identities?

Cheng Xiao stared at the ghost woman and continued:

"More than ten years ago, Jiang Feng survived the Heaven and Earth Fire Tribulation and met the previous Flame Princess."

"Yan Ji was kind-hearted and chose to feed Jiang Feng the unborn Fire Calamity Fruit, allowing Jiang Feng to be reborn and obtain Yan Ji's body."

"This is the Flame Witch you see before you! The Flame Witch is also kind and takes on the responsibility of protecting the old Flame Princess."

"Unfortunately, nothing is more poisonous than the human heart. After being saved by the Flame Witch, the Ghost Woman was not only ungrateful, but also used mind magic to extract Jiang Feng's memories."

"Knowing everything about Jiang Feng, she can naturally return to your side, Zhao Yulin."

"And your neglect of her for more than ten years is her best protection; no one will even notice her existence."

As Cheng Xiao spoke, he looked at Chen Ying:

"Chen Ying, do you really believe that you possess some special physique that has not yet been developed?"

"That's just because your mother didn't want to hurt you. Even now that she has regained her power, she hasn't killed you and the ghost woman."

"I just want you to know everything. She is your real mother, not that ungrateful and wicked woman."

Zhao Yulin stood there, completely stunned.

After hearing Cheng Xiao's words, everything made sense.

No wonder the ghost woman knew everything about Jiang Feng and took her place.

Even after learning that he had married a new wife, she silently endured it without complaint.

It's important to remember that Jiang Feng risked everything to protect him, allowing him to escape the fire and ultimately giving Zhao Yulin his current status.

Chen Ying turned pale and collapsed to her knees.

She looked at the Flame Witch with disbelief, then turned to the ghost woman, her 'mother' with whom she had lived for over a decade.

Just now, the ghost woman, in order to obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit, even used her identity and her mother's love to almost make her kill her own mother.

"No! Don't believe him! He's just an outsider who knows nothing and appeared out of nowhere!"

The ghost woman cried out in terror, "Chenying, don't listen to him! Come here quickly, come to your mother's side!"

But Chenying was already on the verge of collapse.

Whether it's the fake mother, the ghost woman, with whom she's lived for over a decade, or the real mother, Jiang Feng, who has transformed into a flame witch.

All of this requires her time to process, not to mention that the ghost woman almost used her to kill her own mother.

Mom, I can't tell the difference, I really can't!!!

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out after we kill you and dig out your memories. Anyway, you're not going to live," Cheng Xiao said.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The Flame Witch activated her Blazing Domain, and the powerful flames instilled fear even in the Ghost Woman, a top-tier expert among high-ranking beings.

The Ghost Woman has been hiding her true strength; she can control ten high-level beings, including one peak high-level expert.

His spiritual realm is at least at the sixth level!

However, the ghost woman could not withstand the fire witch's attacks after only a few rounds.

"Jiang Feng, let me go. Have you forgotten the time we spent together?"

Seeing that she was no match for the demon woman, she quickly begged for mercy and even began to appeal to her emotions.

But the Flame Witch showed no sign of holding back, and the flames on her body grew ever fiercer.

Seeing that the Flame Witch had no intention of letting her go, the Ghost Woman was completely enraged.

"Jiang Feng, you forced me to do this!" the ghost woman roared angrily.

"You really think I don't have a way to deal with you?!"

In an instant, the ghost woman's spiritual power erupted completely, her eyes revealing curses and a spiritual aura.

The combined peak of two high-level systems, along with the spiritual power of the sixth realm, could completely annihilate the soul of a ruler-level creature!

The Flame Witch ignored her completely, not caring at all; all she wanted now was for this ungrateful and wicked woman to pay the price.

However, the cold poison within the Flame Witch's body, driven by the Ghost Woman's curse and mental power, spread silently.

The Cold Iron Spikes was a magical artifact prepared by the Ghost Woman specifically to deal with the Flame Witch, and of course, there are other methods to follow up.

As the power mixed with spiritual and cursed energy spread throughout the Flame Witch's body, her life force suddenly diminished.

"If you don't stop, the cold poison in your body will devour all your life force!" the ghost woman threatened loudly.

The flames of anger within the Flame Witch had reached their peak, and she no longer cared about the cold poison within her body.

She was determined to kill the ghost woman, who had no reason to live.

In the end, the ghost woman was burned to ashes by the Flame Witch's raging flames.

If the Flame Witch hadn't only wielded Soul-level Calamity Flame, the Ghost Woman would have died even faster.
