Chapter 197: Mangzi Huo Li

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Mangzi Huo Li

But Huo Li wouldn’t let him leave so easily; he was already extremely angry since he had been mercilessly rejected by Huo Liuli.

Now, with Huo Lingjun stepping forward to take Xiao Zhan away, wasn’t this obviously taking sides? Especially since Huo Lingjun’s gaze towards him had changed, his anger surged even further uncontrollably.

So, for his own interests, he was determined not to let Xiao Zhan leave so easily.

"Clan Leader, taking him away like this is against the rules!"

The anger in his heart made his tone harsher!

Huo Lingjun paused, turning back to look at him.

Her gaze was profound, carrying a restrained majesty, which made Huo Li feel somewhat intimidated.

But he still looked her straight in the eyes, without flinching; Xiao Zhan’s ten blossoms made him feel objectively powerless, but he couldn’t just give up on his own!

Even if he ended up losing, he had to fight for himself!

But his defiance was clearly challenging the authority of Huo Lingjun.

An invisible pressure emanated from Huo Lingjun, and that piercing gaze soon had Huo Li wavering again.

He was about to falter.

At that moment, Huo Kuai stood up.

"Clan Leader, this really isn’t following the rules!"

His support acted like a shot of adrenaline, renewing Huo Li’s determination.

"Exactly, Clan Leader, although Xiao Zhan has ten blossoms, we shouldn’t break the rules just because of this phenomenon!"

"Right, Xiao Zhan cannot leave!"

Once Huo Kuai spoke up, other young men also joined in.

It was Huo Mu and others; they had just fought against Huo Li.

Hearing these voices, a warm current flowed through Huo Li’s heart, feeling a solid backing behind him!

His spine straightened even more, his gaze even more direct!

They were men of the Earthfire Tribe, respecting the Clan Leader, but not fearing her, they had a temperament as fiery as flames!

Being argued with so righteously by so many, Huo Lingjun’s brows furrowed deeply!

Her eyes showed jealousy and unhappiness.

Especially when she glanced over at Huo Li, she even revealed a look of anger as if frustrated with his non-improvement.

Her intention in taking Xiao Zhan away was to forcefully interrupt

Because she knew, if Huo Li and Xiao Zhan dueled, Huo Li would definitely be defeated.

She had not witnessed Xiao Zhan’s strength, but merely based on his talent and the powerful aura of the Artifact Spirit Ye Youlong, she could guess that Xiao Zhan’s abilities wouldn’t be weak.

She didn’t want Huo Li and Xiao Zhan to duel, because as the Clan Leader, she had more to consider.

Because if Xiao Zhan won and also successfully contracted with Huo Liuli, then the duel wouldn’t really matter, which was what she herself hoped to see.

But if Xiao Zhan won and couldn’t contract with Huo Liuli afterward, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

According to the tribe’s rules, the loser has no right to contract with Huo Liuli; even if Xiao Zhan later can’t contract, Huo Li wouldn’t be able to either, only delaying the selection to another time to choose again.

So, for the greater good, Huo Lingjun didn’t want them to duel.

She planned to take Xiao Zhan away and discuss privately with him; if Xiao Zhan could contract later, then he would contract. If Huo Li was not satisfied, they could still duel later.

If unable to contract, they would find a reason for Xiao Zhan to leave, allowing Huo Li a chance to contract later.

But from the looks of it, Huo Li, this idiot, completely failed to grasp her intentions and instead cornered himself.

And his group of fire-fostering brothers also failed to realize, silently pushing him off the cliff from behind!

Huo Lingjun felt anger but knew she had to persist. However, she also knew she had to manage the emotions of her tribespeople, lest they do something rash.

She said, "This sudden anomaly differs from our ancient records, so the Festival of Sacred Fire is suspended until I can research and understand it further."

These words were clear enough, and Huo Lingjun emphasized the phrase "continue further".

But Huo Li, the rash one, clearly didn’t catch her drift, feeling that Huo Lingjun was trying to protect Xiao Zhan.

So, he stubbornly protested, "Clan Leader, no matter how unusual the anomaly is, it remains within the rules. If it’s within the rules, then we must follow the rules!"

Huo Lingjun’s face turned gloomy to the extreme. Why couldn’t Huo Li understand simple human language?

She immediately asserted her authority, "I’ve already stated, this matter is significant, and the ceremony is temporarily halted!"

After speaking, she did not wish to stay longer and risk Huo Li doing something irreversible.

She then said to Xiao Zhan, "Xiao Zhan, come with me."

However, the more authoritative she was, the more Huo Li felt marginalized by Huo Lingjun!

Especially when Huo Lingjun gave him a meaningful look, he took it as a warning from her!

His anger grew. Xiao Zhan had already formed a Contract and couldn’t form another with Huo Liuli. Why was she still so biased towards him?

Was it just because of his ten Blood Red Flowers?

If it was because of the ten Blood Red Flowers, then why not let me duel with him?

Was she worried that Xiao Zhan would lose?

All the advantages have been taken by you, so what am I, Huo Li?

You, Huo Lingjun, simply don’t want to let me form a Contract with Huo Liuli!

His rage peaked, and with a fierce look towards Xiao Zhan, he was done wasting words. Today, he had to settle the score with Xiao Zhan!

Only by defeating Xiao Zhan in front of all the tribespeople could he form a Contract with Huo Liuli!

Then, even if you, Huo Lingjun, are the Clan Leader, you wouldn’t have the power to change that!

Without another word, he threw a punch at Xiao Zhan!

The momentum was explosive; he used his full strength right from the start!

He aimed not just to defeat Xiao Zhan, but to overwhelmingly defeat him with a thunderous force, to show Huo Lingjun who was the best choice for Huo Liuli!

Xiao Zhan’s brows furrowed; he was always aware of Huo Li’s emotions and movements. As soon as Huo Li made a move, he reacted.

However, it was somewhat surprising that Huo Li would dare to strike in front of Huo Lingjun.

But Xiao Zhan hesitated not. Regardless of the reason, since Huo Li had made a move, Xiao Zhan would not sit idly by.

Besides, this was merely a duel!

Immediately, Xiao Zhan summoned the Death Demon Scythe to retaliate.

But just then, Huo Lingjun’s voice suddenly called out, "Don’t use the Artifact Spirit!"

Xiao Zhan paused mid-movement, realizing that Huo Li didn’t have an Artifact Spirit; if it was to be a duel, it must be fair.

Thus, he couldn’t use the Artifact Spirit.

Without using it, Xiao Zhan didn’t need the Artifact Spirit to defeat Huo Li.

His Perception Skill activated; he effortlessly dodged Huo Li’s attack with a sidestep, and using his Spirit Manipulation Energy, he struck a punch towards Huo Li’s abdomen!

Boom!

A solid punch sent Huo Li flying seven or eight meters away!
