Chapter 89: Settling Scores

  Afterwards, Lei Hao carefully checked himself from head to toe and only when he confirmed that there were no other changes except for the red scales did he let out a soft sigh. Turning into an ox demon made him feel somewhat conflicted; if he had turned into a four-not-like then it would have been even more distressing for him.

  "Get out of the Fire Palace, old Daoist Chi Yan, you all wait for me, I'll be right back to wipe out your entire family." After checking his physical body, Lei Hao raised his head and gazed at the ceiling, muttering to himself in a light tone. As soon as the last word fell, he suddenly swung out with a punch.

  This punch was like a bomb exploding, emitting a fierce sonic boom, and the intense air pressure blasted out a wide gap of about two zhang in front of Leihao.

  Lei Hao's fist heavily slammed onto the roof, and all that could be heard was a loud 'boom'. Lei Hao blasted a huge hole in the ceiling, and threads of red sunlight fell down from above.

  But it did not turn out as Lei Hao had thought, and with one punch, everything above his head was blown to pieces.

  Lei Hao looked up from below and saw a thin layer of paper-like magical aura appearing above the roof.

  Lei Hao's mind was filled with doubts, but his hands didn't stop, continuing to punch out one fist after another.

  In a series of dull "hums", the layers of magical halo were all deformed by Lei Hao's thunderous blows, but they still didn't break.

  Just above this layer of Fa Li Guang, the red flames old Taoist and eleven Tian Xian elders who were brought by Lei Hao's loud noise stood in front of the twelve-faced Doutian array flag with iron faces, looking incredulously at the ground that kept making muffled sounds. From under that thin layer of red light, they could all clearly see Lei Hao's fist as big as a washbasin.

  "How is that possible? It's already been eighty years, how can this demon still be alive?" A heavenly immortal gazed at Lei Hao's fist, opening his mouth to shout in horror.

  "You ask me, who should I ask? Don't you hurry up and input your divine power into the Heaven's Array Flag, do you all want to die?" The old Daoist, Chi Yan, scolded loudly in shock and anger.

  Eleventh Heaven Immortal didn't dare open his mouth again, and with his head bowed, he concentrated on pouring his magical powers into the Heavenly Array Flag.

  With a mighty punch, he struck with all his might, causing the halo of magical energy to waver precariously, yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through.

  The dragon-slaying sword, which had been excitedly chirping beside him, flew into Lei Hao's hand. With a loud shout of "Break the waves!", he raised his hand and slashed out with a heavy blow.

  Deep purple light flashed as the heavy blade chopped down onto the halo of magical energy, and finally, the halo could no longer withstand it, being torn apart by the blade's energy to reveal a large opening.

  Seize the opportunity, and take off at once.

  Just as the Law Enforcement Light was broken by Lei Hao, the Red Flame Old Daoist and the twelve Heaven-Defying Flags in the hands of the eleven Heavenly Immortals simultaneously fell from their hands, silently falling to the ground, losing their spiritual light.

  "Old fellow, it's been a long time since we last met. I've missed you terribly." Lei Hao scanned the surroundings with a punch, his eyes stopping on Chi Yan, the old Taoist priest, and said with a light smile.

  The old Taoist, Hong Yan, let out a dry laugh and said with forced laughter: "This old man congratulates the Great Sage on refining the essence of the South Ming Li Huo. It's been a long time since I've seen the Great Sage, and the Great Sage's demeanor is still the same as before."

  Lei Hao's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the old Daoist Chi Yan one word at a time, saying: "Oh? The essence of Nanming Li Huo? How come I haven't seen it?"

  Just as he finished speaking, Lei Hao's body burst out with an extremely violent and brutal killing intent that covered the sky and pressed down on Chi Yan Lao Dao Zhen.

  The old Taoist, Hong Yan, only felt a sudden weight on his body, and a cold killing intent locked onto him tightly, knowing that things had taken a turn for the worse. He immediately let out a loud, ferocious roar: "Take action!" As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a flying sword burning with flames, and with a wave of his hand, shot the treasured sword towards Lei Hao.

  The old Taoist Hongyan made a move, and the eleven heavenly immortals also made their moves at the same time. Eleven flying swords and magical treasures shot towards Lei Hao quickly.

  Lei Hao looked at the twelve incoming treasures with disdain, coldly smiling as he swung Tuer Long and lightly shouted: "Split the earth." One knife chopped out, a blade of air that was only several feet long swept fiercely across the twelve treasures.

  Immediately, eleven muffled sounds of spitting blood rose, and it turned out that Lei Hao had destroyed the magic treasures of the eleven heavenly immortals with one knife.

  The old Taoist Hongyan recalled the flying sword that had been blown away, and upon inspecting it, he found a nearly severed gap on the blade. He was immediately heartbroken and wanted to have Lei Hao tortured with a thousand cuts.

  "This king has said it before, as long as this king is let out, I will definitely wipe out your entire Fire Palace clan. Unfortunately, how did you all let this king out?" Lei Hao's eyes were cruel, his white robes fluttering without wind, the pair of ferocious cow horns on his head shining with a fierce light under the sun, exuding an aura of a great demon.

  "Great Sage, listen to my explanation. I was momentarily confused earlier, fearing that the door people would disturb your cultivation of this witch tribe's essence blood." Seeing that even Lei Hao couldn't withstand a single move now, Chi Yan Lao Dao Shi hastily put away his flying sword and said with a sincere expression.

  "Didn't you say it was the essence of Nanming's fire? Where did the witch tribe's pure blood come from?" Lei Hao looked at Chi Yan, the old Taoist, with a mocking expression on his face. Since he could easily pinch these Taoists to death, Lei Hao didn't mind giving them a little hope.

  Anyway, they are bound to die, why not let them die in despair when they see hope?

  "This, this is old foolishness." The expression of Chi Yan's old Taoist did not change, still looking so sincere.

  "If this is just your mistake, then I'll... kill you all." Lei Hao deliberately paused for a moment, saw the surprised expression on Chi Yan's face, and his tone turned cold.

  The old Taoist priest was taken aback for a moment, and even the look of surprise on his face had yet to be withdrawn.

  Lei Hao didn't say much, he picked up the butcher's knife and rushed towards the nearest heavenly immortal. Before the heavenly immortal could react, Lei Hao slashed him in half with a single, ruthless stroke, spilling his pale golden blood all over the ground.

  "Scattered and fled." The old Taoist priest let out a loud shout and turned around to run.

  Lei Hao didn't want to bother with him either and once again charged towards that heavenly being who was closest to Li.

  "Spare our lives, spare our lives! This matter was all arranged by the Great Elder himself and has nothing to do with us. We are just following orders." The heavenly being saw Lei Hao rush towards him and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy nonstop.

  "At first when you were plotting against me, why didn't you think that this matter had nothing to do with you?" Lei Hao said coldly, and as soon as he finished speaking, another heavenly being fell.

  Lei Hao counted one by one, how could these heavenly speed be faster than Lei Hao's fierce double-layered golden immortal? It wasn't that there was no resistance, it was just that Lei Hao's original strength was already higher than theirs by a level, and with Lei Hao's current strength being almost exhausted, he would cut down the resisting ones in just one or two rounds.

  In just over a dozen breaths, Lei Hao had killed eleven Tianxian and was about to chase after the escaping Hong Yan old Daoist.

  After the old Taoist Hongyan escaped from Lihuo Palace, he scanned his divine consciousness and found that only a few breaths were left among the eleven elders. His face was somewhat gloomy, and then he gritted his teeth and thought: "In this way, no one can escape, forget it, and give up the foundation of several thousand years in Lihuo Palace. As long as I am alive, many Lihuo Palaces will be rebuilt."

  After the decision, the old Taoist quickly pinched out a series of intricate hand seals, and after half a breath, he shouted loudly: "Swiftly." He raised his hand and shot out a stream of magical energy towards Lihuo Palace.

  After another half-breath, the crimson glaze walls of all the palaces outside the Fire Palace flickered with forbidden laws, and the next moment suddenly burst open.

  What concept is it that the Li Huo Gong exploded simultaneously in hundreds of miles around? The scene was like thousands of atomic bombs were thrown into the hundred-mile radius at the same time, and the huge air wave directly forced Chi Yan Lao Dao Shi to retreat for thousands of miles. A thin layer of glass appeared within hundreds of miles around Li Huo Gong, all because the sand grains were melted by high temperature in an instant.

  The entire southern part of Xi'an was shaking violently like an earthquake.

  The old Taoist's eyes were filled with flames as he gazed at the sprawling mushroom cloud in the sky above the Fire Palace. With a mix of pain and relief, he said, "Damn you, demon! I didn't believe it, but you've managed to survive after all." Having spoken, the old Taoist prepared to turn around and avoid the scene for a while. Such a huge commotion would surely attract some powerful beings to come and investigate, and he was not yet ready with an excuse, so he did not want to meet outsiders.

  But suddenly a voice that he thought was absolutely impossible sounded in his ear, "Is it? This king really did survive."

  The old Taoist's footsteps stagnated for a split second, and then his feet suddenly burst out with a fierce surge of magical power, and he actually started sprinting at full speed without even turning his head.

  "A bit faster, I'm rooting for you, you must be able to escape from my palm." In an instant, he escaped several thousand miles away, and the voice that was like a nightmare echoed in the ears of Chi Yan Lao Dao Shi once again.

  The old Taoist's flames immediately burned with spiritual power, burning his primordial spirit, and his speed advanced to another level.

  After a few breaths, the old Taoist had taken out several tens of thousands of miles away, and he still didn't know how many turns he had made. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, that voice like the god of death rang in his ears again, "You're not trying hard enough, if you don't try harder, I'll have no choice but to kill you reluctantly."

  The old Taoist's body suddenly stiffened, he slowly turned his head and forced a smile on his face: "Misunderstanding, Great Sage, all of this is just a mis..."

  Lei Hao didn't wait for this shameless Taoist to finish speaking, and with a fierce knife, he slashed towards the top of Chi Yan's old Taoist head.

  The old Taoist hastily spat out the flying sword and grasped it with both hands, exerting his strength to welcome Lei Hao.

  All I heard was a mournful "clang" as this powerful flying sword was cut in two by Lei Hao.

  The old Taoist's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to draw out his magic treasure to counterattack, Lei Hao's knife had already swept across his skull.

  After a long time, a stream of golden blood finally spurted out from the wound on the head of Chi Yan's old Taoist priest, and then Chi Yan's old Taoist priest fell heavily to the ground.

  Lei Hao didn't turn around immediately, but instead gazed at the corpse of Chi Yan's old Taoist priest with great interest, without saying a word.

  After a stick of incense, a disheveled primordial spirit flew out from the corpse of the old Taoist master Chi Yan, and as soon as it appeared, it wanted to escape far away.

  Lei Hao, who was well-prepared, wouldn't let his primordial spirit escape. With a big hand outstretched, he captured the old Daoist Chi Yan in the palm of his hand.

  "Great Sage, spare my life! Great Sage, spare my life! I'm willing to trade a secret from the Buddhist and Heavenly Courts for it..." The old Daoist's primordial spirit in Lei Hao's hand struggled fiercely, letting out a cry like that of an infant.

  Before the old Taoist Hongyan finished speaking, Lei Hao expressionlessly sprayed a knife energy from his hand, instantly entwining the old Taoist's primordial spirit and causing his soul to scatter. Then he expressionlessly muttered to himself: "I don't want to know..."
