David remained calm, looked at Ling Yan with a look of surprise and doubt, then said indifferently, “Who am I? Since you recognize Yu Huobu and know about Li Huo Mojun, I might as well tell you.”
“The Blazing Flame Demon Lord is an old friend of mine, and we have a very close personal relationship. Since he has left this secret realm, what harm would there be if I, as his friend, took in a few people for temporary shelter?”
“Friends?”
Ling Yan was shocked at first, then his expression changed from shock to suspicion and mockery, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “Hahaha! You little brat, talking nonsense! The Flame Demon King has lived for tens of thousands of years!”
“You, a junior at the Human Immortal Realm with a bone age of no more than a hundred years, dare to call yourself his friend? That’s simply unreasonable!”
His laughter suddenly stopped, his eyes were sharp like a sword, as if he wanted to penetrate David: “Well, even if you got some of the Demon King’s inheritance by chance and knew his name.”
“Then how do you explain the Fire Control Steps? This is the unique ability of the Fire Spirit Star Lord!”
“Fire Spirit Star King and Blazing Fire Demon King, one godly and the other demonic, both have the fire attribute, however they are mortal enemies, having fought each other for countless years, their bond is as strong as fire and water!”
“If you claim to be a friend of the Fire Demon King, how can you know the ultimate technique of the Fire Spirit Star King?”
“Are you saying you’re friends with these two mortal enemies? That’s pure bullshit, absolute rubbish!”
The more Ling Yan spoke, the more he felt that David was making up stories. His doubts subsided, but his anger rose again: “Kid, I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense! Just tell me honestly, where did you steal that Firebending Jutsu from?”
“Moreover, how did you know the name of the Flame Demon Lord? If there is even the slightest lie, I will annihilate you completely!”
Before he finished speaking, the terrifying sword aura around Ling Yan suddenly burst out!
Fiery red flames rose into the sky, illuminating half of the canyon with fiery red light. The intense heat caused the air to crackle and pop, and the ground even started to melt!
With a clang, the ancient sword on his back automatically unsheathed half an inch, revealing a part of the blade that was as red as blood, as if magma was flowing within it, emitting a sharpness and heat that made one’s soul tremble!
The aura of a Heavenly God Realm expert radiated without hesitation, like the might of heaven descending!
Lie Tian and the others groaned and retreated simultaneously, their faces ashen. The disciples with lower cultivation levels even vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the pressure.
Even the seriously injured Ling Shuang found it difficult to breathe and her eyes were filled with worry.
However, David, who was right in the middle of the eerie aura, remained calm, and not even the hem of his clothes fluttered.
He seemed to be in another room; The scorching sword intent and terrifying pressure that was enough to burn mountains and boil the seas couldn’t even approach him within a meter!
“You’re right, the Flame Demon King and the Fire Spirit Star King don’t get along.”
David nodded, as if stating a simple fact, “However, that’s their business. My introduction to the two of them happened because of a chance meeting.”
“Fire Demon King invited me for a drink and we discussed the Dao; Fire Spirit Star King took a liking to me and taught me a few moves of the Firebending Technique for me to try. Is there a problem with that?”
“Just kidding?” Ling Yan laughed angrily. “Alright! Alright, just kidding! Looks like you won’t tell me the truth unless I make you suffer a little!”
He completely lost his temper and stopped thinking about the contradiction in David’s words.
Since we can’t get an answer from them, let’s force them to surrender first!
Regardless of this kid’s background, he had committed a grave offense by secretly learning the Firebending Steps, knowing about the Flame Demon King, and spouting nonsense here!
“Crimson Flame, draw your sword!”
Ling Yan let out a cold shout, and the ancient sword on his back was completely unsheathed!
The sword was completely dark red. As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the canyon soared again, and the air around the sword felt scorched and distorted, emitting an ear-piercing hiss.
The long sword turned into a crimson rainbow, carrying the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. Instead of slashing straight at David, the sword made a sweeping motion through the air!
“Burning Sky Sword Domain, rise!”
Rumble!
Centered on Ling Yan, the space within a hundred feet radius was instantly filled with endless crimson flames!
This is not ordinary fire, but the “Scorching Heaven Sword Qi” that has been refined to the extreme and contains the essence of Ling Yan’s swordsmanship throughout his life!
