Chapter 350: Junior Brother Mu Gu, The Burning Technique Is With Xiao Yan!
The Dou Qi energy released by the two beautiful women dissipated into the sky...
As someone facing Queen Medusa head on, Venerable Hong Ying understood more than anyone what kind of crimson flame she had unleashed.
For a Dou Zong to clash evenly with her, there was only one possibility Heavenly Flame.
She didn't know exactly what kind of Heavenly Flame it was, but the fact that it could produce such an effect meant that it was ranked high on the Heavenly Flame list.
After all, Yao Chen, back in his prime as a Dou Zun, had gained tremendous fame with his Bone Chilling Flame, which ranked eleventh on the list.
That alone was proof of how terrifyingly powerful a Heavenly Flame could be.
Of course, Yao Chen's legendary reputation didn't come from his Heavenly Flame alone his alchemy skills played a huge role.
Without them, he wouldn't have earned the admiration of the old monsters in the Pill Tower.
Nor would he have deceived a certain woman's heart!
To Hong Ying, it was clear Queen Medusa's crimson flame had to be a Heavenly Flame.
But since she wasn't well versed in Heavenly Flames, she couldn't determine which one it was.
Even Yao Chen, who knew Heavenly Flames inside and out, couldn't identify it.
He was baffled.
If Wu Tian could absorb multiple Heavenly Flames, why did Medusa have one?
Did he not need it?
Or did he give one to Medusa?
Was this… love?
Tsk…
This was over the top!
As a self proclaimed romantic who had left behind countless scandals, Yao Chen had never shared something like this with a woman.
For so many years, he had been…
A little jealous, actually.
Cough, cough
Wait why was he thinking about this?!
A crimson Heavenly Flame… Was it the Red Lotus Karmic Flame?
No, it didn't seem like it…
Could it be…?
No, that wasn't right either!
"What kind of Heavenly Flame is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Yao Chen muttered in confusion.
"Jie jie jie~~~ Senior Brother, after so many years, I didn't expect you to have become senile. You can't even recognize a Heavenly Flame anymore?"
"Jie jie jie~~~"
A strange laugh echoed through the sky…
The moment it did
A chill ran down Yao Chen's spine.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
If there was anyone he wanted to avoid the most right now
It was this person.
Of course, this was also the person he most wanted to see.
Because this man was the one who had turned him into a soul!
Yao Chen gritted his teeth and looked toward the sky.
There
The first person from the Hall of Souls to appear finally revealed himself.
But instead of looking alarmed
Yao Chen smirked, crossed his hands behind his back, and said:
"Mu Gu, you've already turned me into a mere soul, yet you still hide in the shadows? Are you really so afraid of me?"
"Jie jie jie~~~ Senior Brother, you make a fair point. Not only are you just a soul now, but you've even lost your Bone Chilling Flame. How utterly pitiful!"
As the voice fell, a black robed figure slowly emerged from behind the shadowy mist.
This person was completely clad in black, making it impossible to discern his features or strength.
But just by looking at him
It was clear he was no ordinary man.
Wu Tian glanced at the figure with disinterest.
Since Yao Chen had called him "Junior Brother Mu Gu," there was no doubt about his identity
He was Mu Gu Elder of the Hall of Souls, an authentic eighth tier alchemist!
The grudge between Mu Gu and Yao Chen ran deep.
They had once been inseparable as senior and junior brothers, but due to certain reasons, Mu Gu was expelled.
And those certain reasons?
It most likely had to do with a woman.
Looking at Yao Chen
It was obvious.
He had always been a womanizer, stirring up trouble wherever he went.
The conflict between them was most likely over a beautiful junior sister!
Yao Chen had probably stolen Mu Gu's lover…
And then ruined her.
Mu Gu had been furious, they fought, and in the end
Mu Gu was exiled.
From then on, Mu Gu held a deep hatred for Yao Chen.
When they later clashed over the Burning Technique in the Dou Di Ruins, Mu Gu had failed miserably and fled in disgrace.
That defeat only deepened his hatred.
And eventually
He came up with the ultimate plan…
He joined forces with Yao Chen's disciple, Han Feng, and betrayed him.
Stripping him of his body, leaving him as nothing but a soul.
In the end
Yao Chen had no one to blame but himself.
He couldn't control his own desires
And now, he was paying the price.
Mu Gu had once been his brother, but Yao Chen destroyed him.
Now that Mu Gu knew about the Burning Technique, he would never let Yao Chen off.
If not for Yao Chen's Bone Chilling Flame back then
Mu Gu would have killed him long ago.
But now
The opportunity had arrived!
If he eliminated Yao Chen today
His bottleneck would be broken, and he could advance to the next level!
He had spent years refining his alchemy skills
But even as an eighth tier alchemist, he still lagged behind the old Yao Chen.
That was unacceptable.
He needed Yao Chen's death to move forward!
Mu Gu's appearance made Yao Chen's expression darken.
Looking at his former junior brother, now twisted and corrupted by the Hall of Souls
Yao Chen felt a twinge of regret.
"Damn… I'm screwed."
He had no body, no Heavenly Flame, and was completely outmatched.
How could Wu Tian possibly protect him against all these Dou Zuns?
If he wanted to survive, he had to stall.
"Junior Brother Mu Gu, after all these years, are you still clinging to this grudge?"
Yao Chen sighed deeply, putting on an affectionate, sentimental expression.
Mu Gu, in response, furiously pointed at him and roared:
"Clinging to this grudge?! My ass!"
Yao Chen: "…"
This…
This was embarrassing…
"Yao Chen, you old bastard! I've been searching for you all these years! Now that I've found you "
"I won't rest until I tear you apart!"
Yao Chen sighed heavily, shaking his head in fake sorrow.
"Mu Gu, look at me "
"I'm already a powerless soul… Haven't I suffered enough?"
"I have nothing left not even my Heavenly Flame."
"And the Burning Technique… I never cultivated it. The real one is with him!"
With a dramatic gesture, Yao Chen pointed at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, blinking in confusion, looked from Yao Chen to the black robed man staring at him.
His body tensed up instantly.
Then, furious
He pointed back at Yao Chen and shouted:
"You goddamn bastard !"
