Chapter 1423: Chapter 1422: The Myriad of Living Beings’ Demands, Kill Luo Ji

The Flame Sword burned through the void.

Only to see Zhang He roar as he charged at Xiao Anshan.

Xiao Anshan extended his right hand, spiritual energy enveloping it.

Powerful energy swept over like a flood, and with a “boom,” it sent Zhang He flying.

“Kill,” Zhang He climbed up from the ground, attacking Xiao Anshan again.

No matter how many times Xiao Anshan knocked him down, even if he was covered in blood, he would struggle to stand again.

He was like an unkillable cockroach.

“I, Zhang He, have reached this point not because of anyone’s help or luck.

Like an ant, I was unwilling, shameless, and used tricks and schemes.

Struggling bit by bit, I’ve reached the realm I am in now.”

Zhang He laughed hideously, covered in blood.

His body staggered, but he refused to fall.

Xiao Anshan was slightly moved.

He spoke: “Whether you win or lose today, I at least admire your spirit.

But in my view, all things have their way.

If you act without a way, sparing no means to achieve your goals.

Then what’s the difference between you and a beast?”

“So what if I’m a beast?” Zhang He spat blood and laughed.

Xiao Anshan sighed slightly.

His right hand surged with spiritual energy, forming a Heaven-covering Great Palm.

This palm at least used half of his power.

When Zhang He charged again, a “boom” was heard.

It was like a thunderbolt exploding, roaring beside the ear.

It sent Zhang He’s figure flying out again.

Zhang He still wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, he couldn’t stand anymore.

“I’ve crippled your cultivation, but spared your life.

It’s not for revenge.

Just hope you can let go of your obsessions and experience this mortal life properly.”

Xiao Anshan said.

“My Vein Gate is destroyed, my cultivation is all gone.”

Zhang He was lost for a long time, his eyes lifeless.

Then he looked angrily at Xiao Anshan.

“You’re so cruel.”

He directly picked up the Flame Sword in his hand and committed suicide in front of everyone.

Xiao Anshan was shocked and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

All that was left in front of him was Zhang He’s corpse.

“Why,” Xiao Anshan’s face was puzzled, as if he didn’t understand why Zhang He chose to kill himself.

He clearly spared his life.

“You talk too much about principles; people got annoyed to death,” Liu Huohuo said from the side.

Xiao Anshan turned to look at Xu Zimei and his group.

Then he actually walked over to them.

Asking: “I ask for your guidance.”

“Guidance on what?” Zhang Hengzhi asked cautiously.

“I spared his life; why did he kill himself? I don’t understand,” Xiao Anshan said earnestly.

Although he had an extraordinary status, he never spoke arrogantly to others.

In Xu Zimei’s view, this Xiao Anshan, except for being somewhat realistic, was fine otherwise.

Just a bit detached from worldly affairs.

“You grew up in the Chaos Palace, probably haven’t even been to the outside world.

Even visiting this Chaos City where we are now is rare for you, right?”

Xu Zimei said.

Xiao Anshan nodded slightly.

Asked: “How did you know?”

“That makes sense, you don’t understand the ways of the world, learned a bunch of principles since you were young.

But don’t know how to apply them,” Xu Zimei shook his head and said.

“Take Zhang He, for instance. He worked hard all his life just to become stronger.

To achieve his whole purpose, he spared no means, even calling himself a beast.

You can imagine how deep his obsessions were.”

“That’s why I crippled his cultivation, so he could clearly resolve his obsession,” Xiao Anshan said with a frown.

“By doing so, you denied all his efforts in the first half of his life.

Do you think he could endure that all of a sudden?”

Xu Zimei retorted: “Crippling his cultivation isn’t enough.

At least give him a chance to start over.

Now that even his Vein Gate is destroyed, he can only become a mortal for the rest of his life.

This is driving him to a dead end.”

At this point, Xu Zimei laughed.

“Do you think what you think is really what you think?”

This statement rendered Xiao Anshan speechless.

He grew up in the Chaos Palace, never encountered intrigues or trickery, the world’s coldness.

Naturally, he wouldn’t understand the thoughts and desires of the myriad of living beings.

“Thank you, brother, for your guidance, regardless if you’re right or wrong.

I’m grateful,” Xiao Anshan replied.

“But when I face you, I won’t hold back.”

Xu Zimei couldn’t be bothered to reply.

Xiao Anshan bowed again, “I have a hunch, eventually I will compete with you for the first place.”

Watching Xiao Anshan’s departing figure, everyone suddenly realized that, aside from being a bit stubborn, Xiao Anshan actually left a pretty good impression.

……

The second match, Shangguan Xian against Luo Ji.

The referee’s shout came.

Luo Ji’s face was grim, no longer as calm as before.

In fact, his ideal opponent should have been Zhang He.

The two of them were like two feeble chickens pecking at each other.

But facing Shangguan Xian, he had no choice.

“Sister Shangguan,” Liu Huohuo said hesitantly.

“I’ll trouble you with this matter.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t leave the platform alive,” Shangguan Xian laughed.

As long as Luo Ji was alive, Liu Huohuo couldn’t escape his Demon Palm.

Shangguan Xian wasn’t someone fond of killing, but she knew what needed to be done.

Step by step, she walked toward the platform.

Luo Ji was already waiting.

“Miss Shangguan,” Luo Ji greeted with a smile.

“Let’s begin,” Shangguan Xian said calmly.

The Immortal Spirit Fire in her hand burned slowly, without any holding back, she directly attacked.

Luo Ji’s face changed, he didn’t dare to be negligent, and the Nine Beacon Flamefire burned around him.

The two powerful flames clashed in the void.

Luo Ji’s figure was directly knocked back.

“Damn it, how strong,” Luo Ji’s face changed slightly.

In just this encounter, he was crushed.

Shangguan Xian was far stronger than he imagined.

“I con…” Luo Ji hadn’t even finished saying the word concede.

Shangguan Xian’s palm was already coming at him.

Her figure was like a Phoenix in the firmament, ethereal yet domineering.

That jade hand passed through layers of void, finally landing on his chest.

With a “boom.”

He spat blood, and before his body could be knocked away.

Shangguan Xian grabbed him again and threw him into the firmament directly.

The Immortal Spirit Fire transformed into a towering pillar, shooting up into the sky.

Enveloping Luo Ji’s figure within.

Endless fire was burning.

Luo Ji’s screams echoed around the whole platform.

Until the Immortal Spirit Fire burned out, and everything became silent, everyone looked up.

Only to see a skeleton charred black fall from the void.

“Shangguan Xian wins,” the referee shouted below.

The crowd below was abuzz.

Seeing Shangguan Xian walk off the stage, Xu Zimei smiled and said, “You’ve completely offended Beacon Fire City now.”

“We’re leaving the Chaos Fire Realm anyway, what’s there to fear,” Shangguan Xian said with a carefree smile.
