Chapter 596: Chapter 590 Young Master Flame Demon

"Chi Yi is no match for him; stepping up would only bring humiliation upon himself."

Zi Ying’s reply was straightforward and clear.

"How do you know that I am his match then?" Ye Xuan’s smile stiffened on his face.

"I think you have a chance, after all, you’re just a slave; even if Fei Lian kills you, it won’t be any loss," Zi Ying said coldly.

"Can I refuse?" Ye Xuan still wanted to resist.

"If you dare refuse, I will tell Demon Saint Jialuo that you have no ability to cure him, and see what he does to you."

"Fine, you’re ruthless."

With no choice, Ye Xuan had to muster his courage, stepped out of the ranks, his figure flashed, and landed in front of Fei Lian, blocking the latter’s path.

"Hmm? It’s merely a despicable human? Why do you block my path? Get out of my way, you Young Master!" Surprised by someone blocking his way, Fei Lian’s initially pleasant mood was immediately disrupted, and then he stared at Ye Xuan with a menacing gaze, as if choosing someone to devour.

"This kid is seeking death."

Chi Yi was initially stunned, then he also curved his lips into a smile, finding Ye Xuan’s audacity to confront Fei Lian truly ignorant of death.

"I don’t want this either, but Lady Zi Ying doesn’t want to see you; she said for you to get lost," Ye Xuan spread his hands and said.

Pfft!

As soon as Ye Xuan spoke, someone in the crowd couldn’t help but laugh out loud, though that person was clearly aware of his faux pas; if Fei Lian had seen it, it would have been bothersome.

"Nonsense!"

Fei Lian’s face darkened. Although he knew that Zi Ying might indeed not have any feelings for him, always giving him a distant feeling, having Ye Xuan say it in front of so many people, and in such an unpleasant manner, undoubtedly humiliated him.

"You dare to spout nonsense here, denigrating my relationship with Little Shadow, I will cripple this ant now and make you never able to speak again."

Fei Lian stared fiercely at Ye Xuan, his murderous intent apparent; he suddenly moved, without saying another word, directly reaching with his claw towards Ye Xuan’s head, intending to end Ye Xuan’s life in one move.

"You really don’t know what’s good for you, this is a kind reminder. When you’re rejected by the person herself, you will be even more heartbroken. Better short-term pain than long-term suffering, must someone else utter the words before you’re willing to stop? Sometimes, persistence isn’t necessarily a good thing," Ye Xuan’s body drifted backward, and as he retreated, his mouth did not stop, still trying to persuade Fei Lian.

"Shut up!"

However, Ye Xuan’s words only infuriated Fei Lian more, "Soon this Young Master will tear your mouth apart!"

"That guy really has a venomous tongue."

Even the usually aloof like Lady Zi Ying showed a strange light in her eyes at this moment; Ye Xuan’s words were indeed too provocative. Anyone would probably be unable to withstand Ye Xuan’s sharp tongue, yet for some reason, she felt a sense of pleasure at this moment.

These words, she had wanted to say them for a long time but could not bring herself to speak. Now, Ye Xuan had said them all for her.

"However, now, relying on the advantages of the tongue might not end well if there is no strength to back it up."

Lady Zi Ying had no intention of interfering; whether Ye Xuan lived or died was of little consequence to her. Her original intention was merely to have Ye Xuan suffer a bit at the hands of Fei Lian, but she hadn’t expected the latter to provoke Fei Lian into a fury. Now, whether he lived or died was out of her control.

"Will you not shut up and die!"

Fei Lian was uncontrollably furious. A human slave dared to speak to him like that; if he did not tear Ye Xuan to pieces today, he swore he wasn’t human.

His entire body, armored as if in molten rock, began to flow like liquid, eventually converging in his hand into a claw blade over a meter long that thrust towards Ye Xuan’s face.

Clang!

Ye Xuan blocked the Molten Rock Demon Claw with the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, then continued, "Actually, being rejected is a very common thing in life. If you’re a man, it’s normal to be rejected once or twice. But you have to have some principles, right? You may like someone, but they might not like you back. The more you push, the more they get annoyed. In the end, it makes everyone uncomfortable. Why not stop earlier? Then you could still be friends."

"Flame Demon Fury!"

Fei Lian was about to burst with rage. Without a second word, the fiery Magic Power within him surged to its limits. His entire arm swelled rapidly, and a terrifying wave of power gathered in front of his palm.

The power of the Flame Demon condensed into a massive fireball, emitting a terrifying heat that even began to distort the space around it.

"Fei Lian’s getting serious now; that kid’s definitely dead."

Chi Yi had a mocking expression; after all, he had once been defeated by Fei Lian. He was a loyal suitor of Lady Zi Ying, while Fei Lian regarded her as his fiancée. The two had once fought, and he had lost.

Even so, he didn’t want to see Ye Xuan defeat Fei Lian, though he believed such a result was impossible.

"You’re quite hot-headed."

Under the intense heat, sweat trickled down Ye Xuan’s forehead. Yet, his face remained calm, as if this wasn’t a battle to the death.

At this critical moment, just after Ye Xuan spoke, a strange devouring power was released from his palms, absorbing the power of the Demon Fire Ball.

Seemingly noticing this, Fei Lian’s expression changed. Without hesitation, he hurled the magic fireball in his hand, blasting Ye Xuan away.

"He can’t withstand a single hit."

Having sent Ye Xuan flying, Fei Lian smiled scornfully. However, his smile did not last long; it quickly stiffened. In his vision, although Ye Xuan was knocked back, the fireball in front of him shrank little by little. After retreating a hundred meters, the fireball had completely disappeared without a trace.

"How is this possible?"

Chi Yi looked utterly confounded.

"He’s completely absorbed that strike?"

Even Lady Zi Ying was stunned. She was very aware of the power of Fei Lian’s Flame Demon Fury; even she struggled to defend against it. And yet, Ye Xuan, seemingly without any effort, had resolved this attack?

"How did he do that?"

The most baffled person was Fei Lian. This human had broken through his technique so easily; could the opponent be a Semi-Saint? Even if he were, it shouldn’t be so casually done.

Not to mention, Ye Xuan was clearly only a Fourth Grade Martial Venerate.

In fact, Ye Xuan was merely making use of the power of the Human Emperor’s Scepter. The Human Emperor’s Scepter could absorb True Yuan and soul power, and of course, it could also absorb magic power. This was why Ye Xuan was so confident, without any hesitation.
