Chapter 176: No Immortal Flame Can Hurt Me

As soon as the countdown reached zero, Lu Zheng and Ye Bai Er walked onto the arena, receiving the excited screams of the spectators.

Ye Bai Er smiled at Lu Zheng as he walked calmly. He did not dare to fight Lu Zheng at close range.

Lu Zheng was the biggest enigma of the Battle Arena. No one knew the true depth of his battle strength. Ye Bai Er worked with Su Clan but only knew that Lu Zheng was a Void Passage realm expert and cultivated lightning path.

That information was not enough.

Slowly, pink flames formed on Ye Bai Er's red skin as the air churned and boiled. Dazzling fire path dao imprints surrounded him like fireflies as his aura spread out.

The dao imprints were crimson and fiery and they disappeared as soon as they were formed like an endless illusion. Any mortal that gazed at them would burn at once.

The spectators were stunned: "This… this is an Immortal Flame!"

"When did Ye Bai Er get an Immortal Flame?"

"Hehe, that Lu Zheng is dead now"

Qing Shou Jian watched the men keenly as if afraid they would disappear: "He may have an Immortal Flame but Brother Lu Zheng has the Regal Bloodline of the Vermillion Bird Race. This Ye Bai Er is at a loss"

Ye Bai Er gazed calmly at Lu Zheng as the purple flames enveloped him: "Get ready, I am not Ni Tao"

Suddenly, balls of fire the size of cars formed above Ye Bai Er before descending towards Lu Zheng. The spectators watched in shock as the fire balls struck Lu Zheng.

"This…!" Qing Shou Jian was shocked. Lu Zheng did not even move an inch.

Strong dust appeared where Lu Zheng was and when it cleared, everyone was shocked. Lu Zheng looked perfectly unharmed, even his clothes were still normal.

If the ground wasn't charred and burning with faint purple flames, people would have argued that Ye Bai Er had only created an illusion.

"That is all the firepower you have?" Lu Zheng scoffed. "You don't know the true meaning of fire path"

Ye Bai Er was incensed. The purple flames that danced on him burnt more fiercely as thick bands of flame intertwined into a great sea of flames that spread towards Lu Zheng.

The flames moved swiftly that one could barely see them. Lu Zheng still didn't move.

Just as the sea of flames neared him, he blew with his mouth. Ice Qi filled the arena as the sea of purple flames suddenly froze over.

"What?! Impossible!" Ye Bai Er was stunned. "You can't freeze an Immortal Flame!"

"I just did" Lu Zheng was calm.

"This guy…" Su Haoran was perplexed as he watched the fight. At this rate, Lu Zheng would easily beat Ye Bai Er.

"Brother Lu Zheng is too amazing. He actually froze Immortal Flames" Qing Shou Jian was ecstatic.

Lu Zheng climbed the frozen sea of purple flames and walked towards Ye Bai Er. Even though he was merely walking, he was covering great distances within moments.

"Quick Steps!"

Within moments, Lu Zheng was right before Ye Bai Er.

"You!" The purple flames were like small bombs that exploded in Lu Zheng's face. Lu Zheng did not flinch at all.

Lu Zheng leaned towards Ye Bai Er, staring the man directly in the eyes. Ye Bai Er struggled to move but the space was already sealed.

"No level of Immortal Flames can hurt me" Lu Zheng's voice was deep. "You are not weak. You just faced the wrong opponent"

Bloodline power seeped slowly from Lu Zheng's blood vessels as the Vermillion True Flame combusted all over him.

Divine runes danced inside the Vermillion True Flames like intricate patterns that contained the secrets of fire path. Ye Bai Er was lost staring at them.

The crimson Vermillion True Flames burnt before engulfing Ye Bai Er. Instantly, the man felt like his body was poured into boiling magma. His red skin seemed to turn redder under the intense pain.

Slowly, Ye Bai Er lost his consciousness.

Before his eyes closed, the last thing he saw was Lu Zheng's dark pupils. For a moment, he felt like he was peering into a bottomless abyss.

A yellow light bathed Ye Bai Er before transporting his unconscious body away from the arena. The female that watched over the match felt a shiver run down her spine as she watched Lu Zheng leave the arena.

Although her cultivation base was far higher than his, she felt an unmistakable fear from the Vermillion True Flames. That fear was her instinct telling her to run as far as possible.

"Scary"
