Chapter 43 The Void Devouring Flame Soul Emperor Appears
Tang Zhi immediately wanted to leave. Since the situation was already unfavorable to him, he shouldn't delay any longer. With his strength, when couldn't he take revenge? Why force himself to die? What if he ended up being killed instead of getting rid of his opponent? That would be awkward.
However, at this moment, the man opposite him, perhaps feeling that someone had arrived behind him and that he had a powerful backer, suddenly became arrogant. Seeing that Tang Zhi seemed to be trying to escape, he quickly stepped in to stop him. He was joking; he had fought with him for so long without being able to get him to leave. If he let him escape at this crucial moment, allowing him to live, he had no doubt that he would be thoroughly scolded when that person arrived.
At the same time, he threw sarcastic remarks at Tang Zhi as if they were free: "Oh, look at what you're doing! Who was it that said they wanted to kill me? And who was it that said they would never leave? You really disappoint me!" As he said this, he shook his head and swaggered around, looking extremely arrogant. If looks could turn into swords, he would probably be dead under Tang Zhi's sharp gaze by now.
Apart from that, Tang Zhi didn't pay much attention and unleashed a series of fighting techniques towards the distant barrier. Although the barrier's main function during this period was to conceal their auras and prevent escape, it also blocked the power of their battle.
Not only that, but it also had to withstand the full force of the two attacks from time to time. As a result, the barrier had reached its critical point. Now, after such a full-force attack, it naturally could not withstand it and with a bang, it turned into pieces and dissipated in the air, and the figures of the two were fully revealed.
Upon seeing this, Tang Zhi was overjoyed and immediately wanted to leave. However, just as he was about to set off, a mocking voice came from behind him.
"Trying to leave? Did you ask me first?" A fighting technique struck from behind, but Tang Zhi dodged it with a swift movement. Looking at the figure appearing before him, the joy he had felt at breaking the barrier vanished completely. Judging from the other party's expression, they weren't going to let him leave.
"Since that's the case, then I'll kill you first! Then I'll fight the person behind you!" He roared to the sky, unleashing a fighting technique towards him. His face was extremely solemn at this moment. Although he said this, it would still be very difficult to quickly eliminate the person in front of him, not to mention that the person behind the other party was almost here. He probably couldn't withstand a series of battles!
The fighting technique rang out with unstoppable momentum, but just as the man was about to make a move to defend himself, the technique mysteriously dissipated.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of the man, and he realized that Tang Zhi's fighting skills had not disappeared for no reason, but had been dispersed by the person in front of him.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man in a black robe before him, the man who had fought Tang Zhi earlier quickly stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect you to come in person. It seems the matter is already settled."
"Void Devouring Flame, if you hadn't been away from your clan for so long, why would I have come in person?" the man said calmly. It turned out he was the Soul Emperor, who had come from the Soul Clan, and the one who had blocked Tang Zhi's path earlier was Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking!
"I did want to leave, but this madman is relentlessly pursuing me. There's really nothing I can do. If you hadn't come in person, I really don't know what would have happened," Void Devouring Flame shrugged, speaking with a hint of helplessness. He believed that Soul Emperor had already witnessed Tang Zhi's madness before this.
Upon seeing the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Tang Zhi cautiously took two steps back. He did not choose to strike first, but instead chose to observe the other party silently. However, the two of them were too arrogant and started talking as if no one else was around!
"This is blatant disregard for me!" Despite his anger, he didn't let it cloud his judgment. Instead, he continued to wait and observe. He was currently at a disadvantage in both strength and numbers, so the best approach was to remain calm and adapt to any situation, responding to each move as it arose.
He overheard every word of their conversation and was immediately horrified. Before this, he had no idea who his opponent was, but now he heard the person behind him call him "Void Devouring Flame"? Now it all made sense.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. He is the Void Devouring Flame, the second ranked Void Devouring Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. No wonder he has the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng, no wonder the strange flame in his body is so terrifying." Tang Zhi muttered to himself.
Before this, he had never doubted the person in front of him. After all, the fact that the strange fire could take human form was too miraculous, so miraculous that almost no one had ever seen it.
Therefore, he never had any doubts about this. He even once suspected that the strange fire in the other party's hand was the Void Devouring Flame, which ranked second on the Strange Fire Ranking. After all, it could make the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in his body feel awe and possess such terrifying devouring power. In addition, its flame was pitch black, so it should be the Void Devouring Flame.
However, he now fully understood that the person before him was none other than the Void Devouring Flame in its true form! And the flame in his hand was naturally the Void Devouring Flame as well! It was laughable that he had fought it for so long without noticing anything. Thinking this, a bitter smile appeared on Tang Zhi's face.
"Since he is Void Devouring Flame, you must be the Soul Clan Chief, Soul Emperor," he said confidently to the two people in the distance. Hearing this, Soul Emperor was somewhat puzzled: "Oh? How can you be so certain that I am Soul Emperor and not someone else?"
"That's easy. There are only five people in the entire Dou Qi Continent who can reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. I am one of them. Xiao Xuan is my close friend. As for the patriarch of the Ancient Clan, I have spoken with him many times, so I naturally know your identity."
After hearing this, the Soul Emperor smiled. He did not ask the other Dan Tower Ancestor, who had the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng at the peak, because the Dan Tower Ancestor lived in the Dan Tower all year round and did not come out to interfere in this matter. Obviously, that was what the other party thought.
He smiled without saying a word, but it was this very gesture that gave Tang Zhi a clear answer.
"If that's the case, then you're with this Void Devouring Flame?
The Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking and possessing the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, joined your Soul Clan without a word. It seems your Soul Clan has big plans! What exactly do you want to do?"
Tang Zhi questioned.
