Chapter Sixteen: Hecarim's Dance of Flames

  ……

  Xu Haoshuo's massive body cast a shadow over He Lian Huo Wu, the sharp sound of breaking air whistling as it shot towards him, the powerful air wave sweeping away all the gravel on the ground.

  He Lianhuo danced with abandon, unafraid, raised her energy and leaped up, her lotus foot lightly tapping, her lithe body spinning in mid-air for a few circles before landing in front of Xu Hao.

  Fierce Flame Palm's Furious Gale Blaze.

  He Lian Huo's body burst forth with a surge of mysterious energy, his vertical arm slightly bent from bottom to top, the palm of his hand faintly gathering flames that had apparently reached the small success realm. As his arm swung in a small arc, it drew out a fiery red and elusive trajectory, directly meeting Xu Hao's sinister and ruthless palm.

  Bang.

  Two palms collided violently, with a burst of energy and a dull explosive sound that shook the sky.

  He Lianhuo's figure hastily retreated several steps before stabilizing, while Xu Hao only took a single step back and stood firmly on his feet, undoubtedly revealing the strength of a mid-level Spirit Master.

  "This girl is not simple, could the rumors be true?"

  Although this exchange clearly showed that Xu Hao had the upper hand, his face grew increasingly gloomy. In the instant they clashed, he distinctly felt that his opponent's Xuan Qi carried a thread of intense, molten-like energy, far beyond what could be cultivated with something like the Lianyan Palm. What was even more frightening was that this faint aura, at the moment of collision, had invaded his body through every pore, catching him off guard and leaving him at a disadvantage.

  "Today, Liangzi has already made up his mind, no matter what your background is, today you must die."

  Xu Hao's face turned extremely ferocious, and he let out a low hum. The mysterious energy within him burst forth like a floodgate opening, and his entire body was filled with surging energy. He bowed his head and waist, and his right foot stomped the ground fiercely, causing the earth to crack open with fine fissures from the intense energy. With this powerful kick, he shot forward like a cannonball towards He Lian Huo Wu. At the same time, his right arm slashed forward, and a faint yellow mist of mysterious energy accompanied by a sharp whistling sound formed a sharp blade on his palm. With a fierce swing, killing intent burst forth, and he roared in anger, "Kill!"

  The yellowish blade seemed to tear the air in two, carrying an unstoppable momentum, rumbling and rolling towards He Lianhuo like a burning wheel.

  "Wan'er, be careful!" Chen Hao and Hu Lingping shouted loudly, their faces pale.

  Looking at the incredibly powerful blade, He Lian Huo Wu also felt a great danger, desperately mobilizing the Xuan Qi in his Dantian to burst forth from his palms, his fist's power suddenly increasing by a fraction, not enough, not enough, still not enough, facing Huo Wu's crazily intense suction, his Dantian quickly dried up.

  Not enough, still a little short. She was pressing down on her dantian like a madwoman.

  Kerlin Huowu gritted his teeth and roared in anger, his eyes blazing red, like a mother guarding her young with no intention of retreating.

  I won't fall down, Second Brother hasn't come back yet, this family still needs me to hold on, even if I die, I will protect this home.

  The air sea could no longer withstand such intense suction, emitting a low hum, the vortex grew larger and larger, with signs of impending collapse.

  "Wu Er, stop, please stop. We're leaving the family, spare them." Chen Hao was the first to sense something was off and yelled at He Lian Huo Wu.

  Can we live a stable life if we take a step back today? Where can we go after leaving our family? Chen Huan and He Lian Huo Wu understand. Rather than that, it's better to fight to the death.

  The meridians were violently convulsing, and the limbs transmitted wave after wave of tearing pain. The vortex in the dantian was spinning faster and faster, the humming fine sound turned into a sharp and piercing howl, and it seemed that the dantian was about to burst.

  At this moment, Helian Fire Dance's body suddenly produced an unusual phenomenon.

  Boom

  The blood in the meridians, like fireworks, burst forth thread by thread, a stock of pure and extreme essence, surging out like magma, and swarming towards the Dan Tian like weary birds returning to their nests.

  Take a deep breath, He Lian Huo Wu's eyes turned scarlet red, like two clusters of dancing flames. Seemingly slow but actually fast, the final killing move of "Flame Awakening" was unleashed, as the fist wrapped in a fiery aura burst forth with surging energy, and a thread of eerie, deep red light flashed out, dazzling the eyes.

  "Boom"

  A mighty gust of energy burst forth from the center point where the two clashed, sending dust and gravel on the ground swirling like boiling water, churning and bubbling up a cloud of dust.

  Xu Hao grunted, his body flying backward like a falling leaf, heavily crashing to the ground. The delicate and refined little girl in front of him had an internal flame that was a profound and pure Xuan Qi, far surpassing his own imagination. That intense Xuan Qi was not something he could withstand.

  He Lian Huo Wu remained motionless, her palm still outstretched like a statue. A thread of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth down her chin and dripped onto the ground.

  Everyone was stunned as if they had been petrified, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

  He Lian Huo Wu, this thirteen-year-old child, actually forced back the high-ranking Spirit Master Xu Hao with his mid-ranking Spirit Master strength.

  "At just thirteen years old, she already possesses such strength. In a few more years, it's likely that no one will dare to guess how terrifyingly far she'll reach. Today, no matter the cost, we must strangle her here and now; otherwise, once this little girl has fully cultivated her powers, our own lives will be nothing but a dead end. Moreover, she's already been injured - it's the perfect opportunity."

  Xu Hao's face was dark and gloomy, his eyes filled with ferocity, as he gestured for everyone to move forward together.

  The dog legs that were shocked by Huren Fire Dance finally came to their senses with a bewildered gaze, and they attacked Huren Fire Dance with all their might.

  What's the use of being a genius again? As they say, two fists can't defeat four hands. I don't believe she can win against the pack tactics.

  "Dancer, be careful!"

  Chen Hao, sitting in his wheelchair, urgently reminded with a shocked and anxious gaze. As a man, he was reduced to being protected by the youngest sister of his family while sitting here. His index finger clenched tightly, his fingernail digging deep into his flesh, fresh blood flowing out.

  A gust of wind swept across his forehead, He Lian Huo Wu hastily spun around to avoid the attack, her slender figure slightly tilted. Her jade palm slapped out, and the dog leg in front of her was slapped flying.

  As time passed, He Lian Huo Wu's small face grew increasingly pale, the Xuan Qi in her body was already scarce, and the number of people attacking her was increasing, making it even more difficult. Her autumn water-like eyes looked up at her worried brothers and sisters not far away, a warm current surged up to her heart, He Lian Huo Wu gritted her teeth, the energy in her hand involuntarily increased by several points. A soft cry, blasted back several people.

  At some point, a thin layer of flames fluttered around her fiery red clothes like smoke and rain, with scorching heat waves that made it difficult for people to get close.

  Xu Hao's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. This girl was clearly a mid-tier Lingtu, yet her Flame Mystical Qi was so pure and strange. She had obviously been severely injured, yet she could persist for so long?

  To prevent accidents, we must fight quickly and decisively. Immediately, he grabbed the two dog legs beside him. After muttering a few words, he also rushed out and launched surprise attacks from time to time, with the cooperation of others, to restrain He Lian Huo Wu.

  The dog legs listened to Xu Hao's sinister plan and withdrew from the besieging troops. He walked directly towards Chen Huan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and the two of them viciously punched the wheelchair, shattering it into pieces. Chen Huan didn't care about himself, fearing they would harm his mother, and quickly rolled over to her side.

  "Haha, the cripple is quite fierce when he gets up..." The mocking laughter erupted, and a crippled man was seen rolling around in a sorry state, like a monkey being played with at will, being teased and laughed at, tossed about back and forth.

  It seemed that it was not enough, and they lifted their feet one after another, kicking the wheelchair and wooden bars, and kicked Chen Huan in the face. On Chen Huan's handsome face, there was a mixture of anger and urgency, with a hint of stubbornness, he suddenly pounced forward, shielding his mother in front of his chest, letting the wooden bars hit his back like small hammers, tearing through his clothes.

  His back was a mass of purple and green bruises. Chen Hao gritted his teeth, the pain was nothing. The mouths of others were the most poisonous traps in the world, killing people without end, the more you struggled, the more you got hurt.

  At this time, he only felt a deep sense of regret, which arose from the depths of his heart. This wheelchair was still designed by Chen Mo and made by him and He Lian Huo Wu with their own hands. The two of them had ground their fingers to the bone in order to make it. It's been destroyed like this, what a pity.

  The two of them were very displeased in their hearts, seeing Chen Huan not making a sound, without any submission or pleading, his attitude was too tough, it didn't give them a sense of accomplishment.

  "He's a tough nut." One of them, with a pointed mouth and a face full of sinister cunning, gave his companion a venomous glance.

  Another person willfully smiled and approached, each of them moving forward on their own. They forcefully pushed away Chen Huan's arms, placing his palms flat on the ground. One person stepped directly on him, while also urging the movement of the mysterious energy, injecting it into the soles of their feet, using force to grind and crush.

  The pain that pierced his heart, like a thousand needles stabbing at once, who could endure it. Chen Huan let out a muffled groan, his face turned deep purple, his lips tightly closed, refusing to make a sound. He couldn't add more burden to his sister, who was also barely holding on against the enemy.

  "Ah." Hu Lingping suddenly cried out, her hair disheveled and her face covered in dust. Seeing these inhumane beasts treating her son with such shamelessness and baseness, her heart was in extreme pain. She struggled to get up, raised her weak fist, and furiously punched the iron-like thigh of one of them, wishing she could bite off a piece of flesh.

  He Lian Huo Wu heard a cry of surprise, suddenly turned around, her eyes wide with anger. Her shrill cry was: "Let go of my brother!" Before the words had fallen, she rushed towards Chen Hao's side, the flames of her palm carrying a rolling wave of anger. The red clothes fluttered, like a red lotus flower blooming in anger, beautiful and dazzling.

  Her slender body was engulfed in a thin flame that burned more fiercely. Like a phoenix dancing in the raging flames of the sky.
