Chapter 1457: How Can This Be?

Chapter 1457: How Can This Be?


In the battle arena.


After hearing Yan Huo’s words, Lu Gang coldly laughed “what’s the point of boasting so much? Let’s see if you can actually beat me!”


“If that is the case, then let’s fight!” Yan Huo yelled, and did not speak further before the black-colored flame on his body began to burn brilliantly.


The auras the two gave out soared sharply and caused a scene as they collided against each other. This caused the s.p.a.ce in the sky to explode with booms sounding out continuously.


Lu Gang released his Fighting Soul: a large stone statue that was full of strong aura.


As for Yan Huo, he didn’t have a Fighting Soul. Another way of seeing it was that his body of black furnace was his Fighting Soul.


“Take my blow!”


A few moments later, Lu Gang flew high into the air and struck down heavily once..


Boom!


In a second, a dazzling, greyish white fist radiance morphed into a palm print the size of the area. With forces that mirrored large mountains, the palm print rushed towards Yan Huo.


“Destroy!”


Yan Huo did not seem fazed by the attack as his black furnace body erupted. He waved his hand and plumes of black flames transformed into a large, black-colored tiger that pounced towards the fist radiance.


With the black flames transforming into the fierce tiger, the power of Yan Huo’s attack was shocking to the spectators. The temperature of his body soared and at the speed of lightning, the tiger instantly met the palm print.


Boom!


An explosion that shook the nine heavens occurred as the palm print and the black flame tiger both exploded into rolls of forces that swept through the sky.


“Die!”


Lu Gang attacked again, this time with both fists. A stream of attacks directly headed for Yan Huo like a downpour of torrential rain.


In an instant, brilliant fist radiance flashed through the entire sky and it seemed as though there was a heavy downpour of palm prints.


Every palm print carried unimaginable force and the ma.s.s of them was terrifying. As the palm prints covered the sky, the s.p.a.ces it covered were crushed into emptiness.


And yet, Yan Huo didn’t seem shocked by Lu Gang’s attack. Instead, his body of black furnace burned even more strongly and it seemed as though his entire being had become a mini volcano.


The black furnace churned quickly as black flames continued to turn into wild beasts that pounced towards the entire sky of palm prints.


These black flame wild beasts comprised of fierce tigers, demon wolfs, large pythons and even mystical birds. In various shapes and sizes, each wild beast emitted powerful auras.


Then, the numerous wild beasts and palm prints collided with each other, exploding out continuously.


At that moment, the entire battle arena was rolling in black flames. To the onlookers, it looked as if it was the end of the world.


On the stands.


Su Mo quietly observed the battle. the two seemed to be evenly matched and it was hard to judge the outcome of the battle.


Aside from the sounds of the battle, no one spoke in the entire fighting ground as they carefully observed the fight.


The group of True Path Sect men were especially nervous.


Lu Gang was their last hope and he couldn’t lose. Otherwise, the three geniuses of the True Path Sect would be defeated one after another and the sect would really lose all their face.


The fight between the two was very intense as both were top talents. Each of them was strong and their every attack was powerful enough to shake the heavens and the grounds.


Lu Gang’s fist forces were strong and his attacks were crus.h.i.+ng. However, Yan Huo’s black furnace was also strong and with no sign of weakening, he continued his a.s.sault.


This scene continued on for about an hour and none of the two seemed to be gaining an edge over the other.


At that moment, numerous spectators were beginning to get worried.


“How long are they going to fight for?”


“There will definitely not be an outcome any time soon!”


“They have both displayed their strongest attacks. Lets just see who can last till the end!”


Many onlookers quietly discussed amongst themselves as they were all slightly surprised by the events unfolding before them.


“Hais.h.!.+ Lu Gang is going to lose!” Feng Guang sighed as his heart sunk helplessly.


The other elders of the sect also wore grim looks on their faces as they shared Feng Guang’s opinion.


“Elder Feng, Lu Gang is still going strong, and he doesn’t seem to be losing?” Su Mo asked curiously. He could not see how Feng Guang thought that Lu Gang would definitely lose!


“Lu Gang’s top attack isn’t able to overcome Yan Huo and he can only continue the a.s.sault. However, if this goes on, he will definitely lose!” Feng Guang shook his head in exasperation.


“Why?” Su Mo asked.


“Lu Gang’s mad rush of attacks will deplete his Dark Force. On the other hand, Yan Huo has a primary body of a black furnace and the duration that he can last far exceeds that of Lu Gang’s Dark Force!” Feng Guang explained.


“I see!” Su Mo realised.


As though Feng Guang’s words were destiny, Lu Gang’s aura decreased sharply after another hour. Naturally, his Dark Force had been used up and he couldn’t continue the fight any further.


“Ha ha! Lu Gang, you will lose!”


Yan Huo erupted into triumphant laughter on the battle arena. He knew that the battle had been decided the moment he had felt Lu Gang’s strength decrease.


Yan Huo activated the maximum capabilities of his body. As the black flames turned into large python, he began his final attack.


“Destroy!”


Lu Gang roared out as he desperately attacked and rushed towards the Yan Huo. He had to seize an opportunity to defeat Yan Huo before all his Dark Force ran out.


Otherwise, he would definitely lose!


Boom! Boom!!


The palm print and the black flame python collided against each other and a ma.s.sive explosion occurred. However, Lu Gang did not seem bothered by the wave of forces from the explosion as he continued on this path towards Yan Huo at lightning speed.


“Ha ha! Are you planning to fight so desperately?” Yan Huo was not afraid of Lu Gang. As he considered the fact that Lu Gang’s Dark Force was running out, he did not face Lu Gang head-on but retreated backwards quickly, trying to dodge his opponent’s attacks.


Yan Huo was fast. As he commanded the attack of the black flame python, he simultaneously retreated backwards.


Although Lu Gang was strong, he did not have any ability to fight Yan Huo. The Dark Force within his body was slowly depleting.


Just like that, Lu Gang’s aura took a large dip a few moments later. Obviously, the Dark Force within him was running out.


He could only gobble down a few elixirs to replenish the Dark Force within him. However, there was a limit to the amount of Dark Force he could recover. Furthermore, there was a time period delay before the effects of his actions would occur.


“Lu Gang, you are definitely going to lose!”


Yan Huo immediately stopped retreating backwards and instead pushed his black furnace body to it maximum strength.


Then, the rolls of black flame transformed into a large black flame phoenix. As it flapped its majestic wings, the phoenix instantly flew a kilometre forward, straight at Lu Gang.


The phoenix was extremely powerful and its strength far exceeded Yan Huo’s previous attacks. It was most certainly the purest form of black flame that was carried by this phoenix.


Lu Gang felt the power of the phoenix immediately and he instantly retreated backwards.


Boom boom boom!!!


The black phoenix tore through the air and flew even faster than Lu Gang. Then, it clawed down menacingly towards Lu Gang.


Shoos.h.!.+


Lu Gang’s body flashed and he instantly dodged the first attack.


However, the large phoenix turned its head and opened its mouth, spewing out a stream of black flames that instantly closed down on Lu Gang.


“Not good!” Lu Gang’s face turned pale in an instant. He had not imagined that the phoenix was capable of that. Yet, the black flames were down on him already and there was no other way for him to dodge it.


In an instant, Lu Gang could only activate the dying pool of Dark Force in his body to form a protective array in front of him to block the a.s.sault of the black flame.


In the next moment, the waves of black flames instantly flooded the sky, drowning Lu Gang.


Ah!


Lu Gang screamed from within the sea of black flames as his protective array was simply no match for the black flames inferno. His body dropped down lifelessly like a black flame fireball onto the battle arena.


Even as he landed on the battle arena, Lu Gang screamed out in pain from the black flames as he valiantly tried to roll around and put the flames out.


A few moments, later, the black flames had finally dissipated and Lu Gang had been burnt to a crisp. His aura had weakened greatly.


Defeated!


Everyone watching the scene breathed a deep sigh. Lu Gang had lost. The three geniuses of the True Path Sect had all been defeated.


The True Path Sect had indeed suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat once again.


Similarly, the sect disciples and the elders sighed a long sigh. They had guessed earlier on that such an outcome would happen.


Although it was hard to take, those were the facts.


Shoos.h.!.+


Yan Huo’s body flashed as he flew towards Lu Gang. There, he stared down at his opponent.


“I wasn’t wrong Lu Gang, you are not my match at all!” The corners of Yan Huo’s lips curled upwards as he taunted.


“You… are too arrogant!” Lu Gang was filled with rage but he had no ability to rebut it. With such heavy injuries and his Dark Force depleted, he was totally defeated.


“Arrogant?”


Yan Huo scoffed as he continued to brag, “it isn’t that I look down on you. Your True Path Sect disciples are just such tras.h.!.+ You can’t even produce a single genius!”


Hearing such malicious remarks, the group of True Path Sect disciples fumed with rage as they clenched their fists so tightly that the whites of their knuckles showed. Yan Huo was simply too arrogant! The group of disciples badly wanted to beat up his proud face.


“The humiliation I suffered today will be returned to you many times more in the future!”


Lu Gang lifted himself up and coldly replied before he slowly ambled back to the stands.


“Lu Gang, are you alright?” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu asked.


“Fine!” Lu Gang solemnly shook his head. With such a defeat, he didn’t have the right to look at Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.


Sage-to-be Zhen Gu nodded his head and looked towards the northern stands. Gazing up at Saint Yin Ze, he said, “Elder Yin Ze, I believe that my True Path Sect disciples no longer have any reason to remain at this fight meet. I seek your understanding for our immediate withdrawal!”


Sage-to-be Zhen Gu was prepared to lead the disciples back to the sect already. He didn’t have any right to remain there anymore. The fight meet had not lasted long and the sect’s top three geniuses had all been defeated. Continuing on further would be completely shameful.


As for the other disciples, they would suffer even more defeat. Hence, there was no longer any reason to remain there.


The numerous onlookers witnessing this weren’t surprised. This scene of Sage-to-be Zhen Gu withdrawing the sect from the fight meet was familiar to them.


Yet, as soon as Su Mo heard Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s words, his face made a drastic change. He had not even partic.i.p.ated yet, and Sage-to-be Zhen Gu was withdrawing from the fight meet? How could this be?


If they left now, how was he going to get close to Qing Xuan!


Shoos.h.!.+


Without much hesitation, Su Mo stood up.
