Chapter 719: Chapter 717: The Fall of the Flame Gate

Watching the blade light released by the Minghong Blade strike towards him, the expression of the Fiery Flame Sect’s Executive Elder changed dramatically. He wanted to dodge, but he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood instead.

Because of the previous strike from the Nine Dragons Seal, his True Qi was in disarray, and his internal organs had been severely damaged. Any movement now pulled at his wounds, making it impossible for him to avoid the oncoming attack.

Pu-chi!

The next second, the terrifying blade light emitted by the Minghong Blade directly bisected the Fiery Flame Sect’s Executive Elder, and a Half-Step Saint Realm Strong One like this was slain under Xiao Yifeng’s blade.

After dealing with this formidable Strong One, Xiao Yifeng also took a deep breath, his entire body’s power once again depleted.

This was definitely the most difficult battle he had ever fought, where he had resorted to using every skill and trump card in his arsenal. If Tian Tu hadn’t shown up in time,

he likely would have had no choice but to use the Poison Thunder, which would have been a real pity, considering that the item was intended for those in the Saint Realm.

At that moment, Yue Pengfei stood dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold, his heart completely engulfed by shock, revealing an incredulous expression.

Swish!

After regulating the power within himself for a moment, Xiao Yifeng’s gaze shifted toward Yue Pengfei, his eyes flickering with a cold light.

"Flame Gate Sect Leader, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, bring them all out!"

Xiao Yifeng said coldly.

"Boy, I, Yue Pengfei, have misjudged you. I’ve weathered through many storms and never imagined that in the end, I would fall to a green youth like you. It’s just my bad luck!"

Yue Pengfei said with an ugly look on his face, a tinge of nostalgia flashing through his eyes.

"Only blame yourself for being shortsighted, for having a good-for-nothing son that led to your own death!"

Xiao Yifeng indifferently remarked, and with a swing of the Minghong Blade in his hand, he directly pierced through Yue Pengfei’s body, causing him to spray out blood and kneel on the ground, his eyes holding a trace of regret as he slowly closed them.

As the tyrant of the Flame Gate in the north, Yue Pengfei fell tonight in his own home, killed by Xiao Yifeng, the very opponent he had always wanted to deal with and kill.

The news of this would definitely cause a great stir once it spread. With the death of Yue Pengfei, the vast influence of the Flame Gate, which had loomed over the north of China for over a decade, was formally declared to have come to destruction.

After disposing of Yue Pengfei, Xiao Yifeng’s gaze swept over the remaining Flame Gate members. He calmly uttered the word "kill," and eventually all of them were buried at the hands of the Imperial Guard. The entire Yue Family Manor was slaughtered empty, and as for the Flame Gate headquarters, it had already been decimated by Cold Edge and his men.

"Third Uncle, how are you?"

Xiao Yifeng then turned his gaze toward Xiao Han, walking over to him.

"I’m fine!"

Xiao Han shook his head, glanced over the scene before him, and speaking to Xiao Yifeng, said, "I didn’t expect you to actually eradicate the Flame Gate. Your growth has truly taken me by surprise!"

"You flatter me, Third Uncle!"

Xiao Yifeng shook his head.

"I’m telling the truth. Your achievements have surpassed your father’s at that age. I believe if your second uncle were still alive, he would be very comforted to know how much you’ve grown."

Xiao Han exclaimed.

"Perhaps he’s still alive. If he really is, I will definitely find him!"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes held a trace of reminiscence as he spoke solemnly.

"Mm, I believe you can do it!"

Xiao Han nodded.

Ten minutes later, the Yue Family Manor thundered and was engulfed in a sea of flames. Tonight, apart from the Yue Family Manor, another place in Dragon City had already been set ablaze—it was the headquarters of Flame Gate.

Significant changes were destined to happen in Dragon City tonight. In a certain part of the city, two figures stood, their gazes fixed on the distant Xiang Mountain where the Yue Family Manor was aflame. These two were Shi Ruqian and Song Yue, who Yue Pengfei had told to leave through a secret passage beforehand.

"Pengfei!"

Seeing the Yue Family Manor on fire, Shi Ruqian’s complexion changed dramatically, and she cried out loudly.

Now that the Yue Family Manor was ablaze, one could easily guess what had happened; most likely, Yue Pengfei and the others had met with disaster, causing Shi Ruqian unspeakable pain.

Pfft!

However, a sound of a weapon penetrating flesh followed, and Shi Ruqian’s body violently trembled as she spat out a mouthful of blood, her pupils dilating in disbelief.

Turning her head slowly, she saw Song Yue standing behind her with a cold expression, a dagger in his hand piercing her body.

"You..."

Thump!

Shi Ruqian tried to say something, but Song Yue, holding the dagger, viciously stabbed her again, causing her body to collapse to the ground. Her eyes were wide open, clearly unable to believe what was happening.

"Didn’t expect that, did you?"

Song Yue looked at Shi Ruqian with a ferocious expression and said coldly,

"You must be curious why I would kill you, wench. Well, let me tell you now, my name isn’t Song Yue. My real name is Yue Song—Yue as in Yue Pengfei, and Song as in pine tree. You should have guessed by now who I am."

"Yue Song!"

Hearing this name, Shi Ruqian’s pupils shrank, and a shocked expression appeared in her eyes.

"You... you’re the son of that bitch? You’re actually not dead?"

Slap!

Song Yue slapped her across the face, his voice cold, "If it weren’t for you using your status to coerce and seduce Yue Pengfei back then, how could he have possibly abandoned my mother and me?"

"You also sent people to eradicate us, but luckily the heavens were on my side and I survived, which gave me the chance to get close to you. I’ve waited for so long and finally, the day has come for me to personally deal with you, you lowly woman."

With a cold look and a terrifying chill flickering in his eyes, Song Yue waved his dagger and stabbed repeatedly. Shi Ruqian, who was already injured, found it difficult to mobilize her True Qi.

She was brutally murdered alive by Song Yue, her eyes wide open in death, unable to close them, still unable to comprehend her fate.

Time flows like water, ticking away moment by moment.

Soon, a new day dawned, and on this day, a sensation akin to an earthquake occurred in the northern regions of China.

Flame Gate, which had dominated the north for decades, was wiped out. More than twenty cities in the north were completely slaughtered and then burned to ashes. The only things left on the scene were piles of charred corpses.

This tragedy also unfolded in Dragon City, the stronghold of Flame Gate. Both the headquarters of Flame Gate and the manor of the Sect Leader Yue Pengfei were consumed by the inferno, with no survivors—everyone was dead!

The news spread like a hurricane throughout northern China, shaking the major families and powers of the north, and even reached Yanjing, causing many family heads there to be equally shocked.

After all, the power of Flame Gate was no less than that of the Eight Great Families of Yanjing. The complete and sudden annihilation of such a force was truly astounding.

However, what they wanted to know more was who had the capability to obliterate the vast Flame Gate in a single night.
