Chapter 382: Chapter 378: Huaa Mantian and the Water and Fire Spirit Flower

"I told you back in the Qingluo Sect that the next time we met would be your death day!" Huaa Wushuang, emerging from behind Ye Zhen, made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent, as his spiritual power began to surge around him.

Ye Zhen, however, was unimpressed and casually cleaned out his ears, "Haven’t I heard that line so often that I’ve got calluses in my ears?"

Unexpectedly, Huaa Wushuang nodded earnestly, "Indeed, I’ve said this phrase quite a few times already, but our encounter today hasn’t concluded, has it!"

"That’s true!"

"But I really wonder, where do you find such confidence, thinking you can kill the current me?"

With the end of the Black Dragon Ranking competition, Ye Zhen felt a rare sense of relaxation, especially in this atmosphere teeming with killing qi. Not only was he not tense, but he also seemed quite at ease.

Nevertheless, being cautious was still Ye Zhen’s usual style; with a thought to his divine sense, the Red Jade Spirit Armor already covered his entire body.

"I’ve said before that a competitive duel on the arena is very different from a life-and-death struggle. Moreover, on the arena, I probably only used a little over eighty percent of my strength, but now, I am in my prime!" Huaa Wushuang said with full confidence.

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course, there is!"

"However, the most important thing is that our Huaa Clan possesses a secret technique that allows martial artists to increase their power by fifty percent in a short period of time!"

As the voice settled, Huaa Wushuang’s fingers flickered like lightning, spiritual power overflowing from his fingertips, before he fiercely pressed on several key acupoints on his dantian and chest.

In an instant, Huaa Wushuang’s face twisted fiercely, turning deathly pale.

"Uh... this secret technique is a bit... painful to use!"

Huaa Wushuang’s voice was somewhat shaky, but as he spoke with a tremble, the spiritual power around him suddenly transformed, becoming wild and ferocious.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the spiritual power flickering between his fingers, it was originally like a spring gushing forth, but now it was like a jet of water, spurting explosively, piercing the air with a hissing sound.

Divine sense could detect the aura around Huaa Wushuang becoming tyrannical and terrifying, the spiritual power becoming even sharper.

After a brief reflection, Ye Zhen somewhat understood the method Huaa Wushuang used to enhance his power.

It wasn’t a true increase in cultivation, but rather through some special technique, he enhanced the attack power of his spiritual power, making it more ferocious and powerful.

Essentially, Huaa Wushuang’s strength hadn’t increased at all; what had improved was merely the potency of his spiritual power as a weapon.

Strangely, despite sensing the violent aura of Huaa Wushuang’s surrounding spiritual power, Ye Zhen was surprisingly calm, showing no hint of awe or fear.

"What I can’t figure out is why you would want to kill me so badly over a single conflict at the Qingluo Sect?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.

"Why?"

Huaa Wushuang fell silent for a moment.

"The dignity of the Tiannan Huaa Clan must not be violated by anyone! Just like five hundred years ago when Huyan Ci, the Sect Master of the Phantom Divine Sect, refused to choose a bride—only his death could restore the honor of our Huaa Clan!" The two-colored water and fire spiritual power began to flash violently over Huaa Wushuang’s body.

"I see!"

"Understood, I know what I should do now!"

"Kitten!"

In reality, the moment Ye Zhen called out, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, well, now the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, shimmered into existence right between Ye Zhen’s legs, its wings flapped, bringing together a massive amount of Cloud Qi.

In the next moment, Ye Zhen’s figure shot up into the sky, nearly turning into a solid white line.

"Thinking of escaping?"

Huaa Wushuang’s gaze turned sharp, her feet stamped the ground, and she shot up through the air like a cannonball, chasing fiercely after Ye Zhen. Her speed was exceedingly fast, barely slower than the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

Luckily, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had just been promoted to the Cloud Winged Tiger King; otherwise, in a short-distance race, it would definitely be no match for Huaa Wushuang.

The Butterfly Shadow with the Wind body skill of the Tiannan Huaa Clan was incredibly formidable.

But, as powerful as it was, the speed of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten spoke for itself; under normal circumstances, Huaa Wushuang had no chance of catching up to Ye Zhen.

This situation made Huaa Wushuang so furious that flames seemed to burst from his eyes, he couldn’t understand why Ye Zhen would flee!

What Ye Zhen really wanted to tell him was that Huaa Wushuang could never guess why he, Ye Zhen, would run—it’s because Ye Zhen didn’t want to bring potential trouble to his family, his sect, or even the empire; at least, not in the short term.

"Ye Zhen, if you don’t want your whole sect to be annihilated, then stop and fight me fair and square!"

"Ye Zhen, do you think, by escaping now, you can escape for a lifetime? The moment we leave this Black Dragon Secret Palace, no matter how strong your Cloud Winged Tiger is, can it be stronger than my Tiannan Huaa Clan’s Flowing Light Butterfly King?"

"By then, not just you, but everyone accompanying your sect will have to be buried with you!" Huaa Wushuang chased while threatening Ye Zhen in a fit of rage.

While riding on the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub that flew wildly, Ye Zhen suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Flowing Light Butterfly King, should I thank you for reminding me not to forget about it?"

"What do you mean?" Huaa Wushuang asked, stunned.

Suddenly, Huaa Wushuang realized that after flying wildly for fifteen minutes, Ye Zhen suddenly stopped flying forward and instead started to climb higher and higher, first a hundred meters, then a thousand, and two thousand meters.

Suddenly, darkness enveloped Huaa Wushuang as he burst into the thick clouds high above. In the blink of an eye, he passed through the cloud layer, and Huaa Wushuang was dumbfounded.

Because Ye Zhen... had stopped running!

Above the clouds, Ye Zhen stood towering, the Red Jade Spirit Armor around him sparkling in the high-altitude gale winds.

"How do you like this battlefield?" Ye Zhen suddenly spoke.

"Battlefield?"

Hua Wushuang was startled. Purely in terms of the battlefield, this place was terrible. The Gale Winds above the clouds could be withstood by them, but it felt like there was a Martial Artist at the Spirit Transformation Realm harassing them at all times.

If the Protective Spirit Force was shattered, even if they were not injured by the enemy, they would be injured by the high-altitude Gale Winds first.

However, what puzzled Hua Wushuang the most was why Ye Zhen had suddenly stopped running away.

"Go, little kitten, use your talent, gather endless Cloud Qi, and cover this place up tightly. I don’t want anyone to see the battle here, although the possibility is very small!"

"Roar!"

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten gave a low growl, its wings vibrated, and endless Cloud Qi immediately gathered, blocking the gaps between the clouds under Ye Zhen and Hua Wushuang’s feet tightly, and the cover was getting thicker and thicker.

"Hm?" Hua Wushuang was startled and then astonished. "You also want to kill me? And you don’t want anyone to see it?"

"Not too dumb, you World’s No.1 Young Master. If even this you couldn’t guess, I’d have to despise you too!" Ye Zhen chuckled lightly.

If not for this reason, why would Ye Zhen furiously flee from Hua Wushuang, who had lost to him?

It was to avoid being seen far away, to avoid anyone witnessing his decisive battle with Hua Wushuang.

Just before, at the entrance to the Black Dragon Secret Palace, many Martial Artists were nearby killing their way into their own Secret Realms, and it was possible for people to appear at any time.

By then, as soon as it was known that Ye Zhen had slain Hua Wushuang, the direct descendant of the Tiannan Hua Family, the entire Hua Family would definitely come out in full force, and it was possible they would attack the Qiyun Sect.

Of course, if Hua Wushuang died in the Black Dragon Secret Palace, even if no one saw it, people would probably suspect Ye Zhen for Hua Wushuang’s death.

Of course, it would only be a suspicion.

There was a strong operability to the situation. By then, Ye Zhen could only do his best to respond. Now, Hua Wushuang must die!

"You’re quite arrogant!" said Hua Wushuang in amazement.

"You’re a bit worse!"

"Fine then, today, let you see what is the true secret technique of the Huaa Clan!"

"The true secret technique?"

"Do you still remember the title of our Tiannan Hua Family’s Flower King?"

"The title of the Flower King? Isn’t it Huaa Mantian?"

"Wrong, the Tiannan Flower King is actually surnamed Huaa and named King. His title is Huaa Mantian! And so, our Tiannan Hua Family’s true secret technique is called Huaa Mantian."

"Huaa Mantian?"

As Ye Zhen was startled, Hua Wushuang’s hands, filled with Water and Fire Spiritual Power, suddenly clasped together.

The Water and Fire Spirit Flames hissed as they ejected from the fingertips, like dancing sprites rapidly intertwining and weaving together, with a speed that seemed to be several times faster than Ye Zhen consolidating the Red Jade Seal.

Almost at the moment the fingers started hopping, a Spirit Flower made entirely of Water and Fire Spiritual Power leaped from Hua Wushuang’s fingertips.

Then, one after another, in almost an instant, nine two-colored, clearly separated Water and Fire Spirit Flowers condensed in front of Hua Wushuang’s chest.

"Go!"

With a roar from Hua Wushuang, his hands flicked lightly, and the nine Water and Fire Spirit Flowers shot towards Ye Zhen like meteors. Three of them came hurling directly at Ye Zhen from the front, while the other six, as if shot through the air, were aimed at his sides.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen’s face drastically changed.

The Water and Fire Spirit Flowers resembled the Water and Fire Spirit Mountain in their ingenuity, even though they were tens of thousands of times smaller, their power was not much less.

The Water Spiritual Power that formed the Water and Fire Spirit Flowers had turned a pale blue color due to its extreme concentration, and the Fire Spiritual Power had become a dark red color because of its density.

The pale blue and dark red Spirit Flowers looked extraordinarily gorgeous, but in Ye Zhen’s eyes, they were like the call of death.

Beautiful yet terrifying!

One could imagine that if the Water and Fire Spiritual Power were to explode due to a slight abnormal Spiritual Power Wave, that power would undoubtedly be terrifying.

His figure flashed, and the sound of Wind and Thunder rose abruptly. A Wind Cloud Sword Qi lightning-fast hacked at one of the Water and Fire Spirit Flowers, as Ye Zhen attempted to preemptively explode it.

This was the best method to deal with Hua Wushuang’s special Water and Fire Spiritual Power.

Hisss!

Just as Ye Zhen’s Wind Cloud Sword Gang almost hit one of the Water and Fire Spirit Flowers, Hua Wushuang’s index finger suddenly twitched, and in an instant, that Spirit Flower, which was about to be hit by Ye Zhen, strangely made a small turn. It trailed a beautiful drifting luminescence, evading Ye Zhen’s Wind Cloud Sword Gang and bombarded towards Ye Zhen ferociously!

"From so far away, you can still control this Water and Fire Spirit Flower?" Ye Zhen exclaimed in surprise! His distance from Hua Wushuang was at least two hundred meters.

And the closest controlling distance of Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Seal was only a hundred meters, and moreover, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation was stronger than Hua Wushuang’s.

"Hmph, otherwise how would it become the Huaa Clan’s secret technique?"

"Die!"

Hua Wushuang’s fingers suddenly moved in unison, very deftly hopping once. In an instant, the six Spirit Flowers that had reached Ye Zhen’s sides, along with the three at his chest, surrounded Ye Zhen from all directions and bombarded towards him!
