Hongyue was speechless. She, of course, knew about Yun Lintian and Little Flame, but she didn’t think it was the time to be sentimental.
“It’s okay. The Tree of Life has existed for thousands of years, yet no one can find it until now. We can go there later.” Yun Lintian felt that if he went to find the Tree of Life first, he wouldn’t have a chance to visit the Fire Cloud Rat Clan. At the same time, he wanted to know what happened to the Fire Cloud Rat Clan.
“Whatever.” Hongyue rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
Yun Lintian didn’t waste time and moved in the south direction, which was the Fire Cloud Rat Clan’s position. On the way, he encountered various profound beasts in human forms. They were either killing each other or attacking him.
Yun Lintian thought he could use this chance to gather information, but who would have thought these profound beasts didn’t even give him anything useful and directly blew themselves when they had no chance to survive. This made him truly helpless.
After flying for a long time, Yun Lintian was tired and decided to find a place to stay for a night. He had arrived at a forest that was not too thickly enshrouded and suddenly discovered a fierce battle ahead of him. He soundlessly approached the presence and hid behind a thick ancient tree, observing the scene.
In a dense jungle ahead, Yun Lintian spied two young men staring at each other intently as a feeling of deep enmity spread through the air. What surprised Yun Lintian the most was one of them actually human! This was the first human he had encountered so far.
“Bastard! How dare you steal my item!?” A sturdy young man with two long horns on his head glared fiercely at his opponent.
Standing opposite the two-horned young man was a relatively skinny man with a long scar across his face. His right hand held a small axe that looked no different from an ordinary axe, while his other hand gently grabbed a yellow flower. With a glance, Yun Lintian immediately recognized this yellow flower. It was a medicinal plant called Firefly Flower, widely used to treat various diseases.
“Don’t go too far, Hongniu Kangyi! I was the one who saw it first.” The skinny man tightened his grasp on the axe as he stared at the two-horned man coldly.
“So what!? It doesn’t matter who saw it first. As long as I see it, it is mine.” The two-horned man, Hongniu Kangyi, snorted coldly. “Hmph! Don’t think that I don’t know you are going to use this Firefly Flower on your trash old man. A bastard like him should have died a long time ago. Just like your useless mother.”
The skinny man gritted his teeth as his eyes filled with hatred. Even though he was extremely furious, he didn’t make a move rashly and continued to stand on guard.
“Are you going to hand it over or not? You know the consequence when my young master arrives here.” Hongniu Kangyi crossed his arms before his chest, looking at the skinny man with a disdainful grin.
The skinny man took a deep breath and said coldly. “No. Just let him come if he wants to kill me.”
“Bastard! I gave you a chance to survive, yet you didn’t cherish it. Then don’t blame me for being ruthless.” As Hongniu Kangyi’s voice fell, all the muscles in his body bulged up, bursting out a frightful aura. A giant silver hammer silently appeared in his hand as he charged forward at incredible speed.
The skinny man’s face sank. He clenched the axe tightly and released his profound aura, preparing to fight.
Hongniu Kangyi saw this scene. A look of extreme disdain flitted across his eyes as he laughed coldly. “This punk is looking for death!”
As he arrived before the skinny man. He swiftly swung the giant hammer at the latter’s head with no mercy. The energy that was carried along the strike immediately blasted all the trees nearby away.
“Savage Strike!” The skinny man shouted and swung the small axe toward the incoming giant hammer with all his might.
Boom!
The two weapons fiercely collided with each other, producing a deafening explosion, along with two figures flying away.
The skinny man stabilized himself quickly and stomped on the ground. His figure rushed forward at breakneck speed and swung his axe at Hongniu Kangyi.
“Courting death!” Hongniu Kangyi shouted angrily. He had never thought the skinny man to be able to push him away and now even reacted faster than him. He felt extremely humiliated and didn’t hesitate to release every ounce of his power.
As the skinny man’s axe was about to reach Hongniu Kangyi’s chest, the latter suddenly burst out with a terrifying crimson flame, causing the skinny man to retreat quickly.
However, Hongniu Kangyi instantly appeared behind the skinny man like a ghost and swung his giant hammer at the latter’s back. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
Boom!
The skinny man was sent flying. All the bones in his body were instantly cracking as he spurted out several mouthfuls of blood before landing heavily on the ground.
Hongniu Kangyi grinned savagely when he saw this scene. “You can’t blame me. This is what you brought upon yourself.” He slowly walked toward the skinny man like a victor and stomped his foot on the latter’s hand that was holding the Firefly Flower.
“N…No!” Seeing the Firefly Flower was shredded into pieces under Hongniu Kangyi’s foot, the skinny man cried out in a heartbroken voice. He wanted to use this flower to save his father’s life, and now the hope was gone.
“Oops! My bad. I didn’t see it.” Hongniu Kangyi pretended to be embarrassed, but his face was full of mockery.
The skinny man’s eyes turned red. He gnashed his teeth, looking at Hongniu Kangyi with hatred. That was all he could do at the moment.
“Aren’t you going to meddle in their affairs?” Hongyue’s voice resounded.
Yun Lintian didn’t say anything and watched the scene calmly. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
