Chapter 656: Clone of Divine Fire!

"I see..."

With Ling Feng's explanation, Jiang Xiaofan, Gu Tengfeng, and the others finally understood.

As the saying goes, "one thing subdues another." Li Xue had thought his Element-Devouring Blood Array would sweep through the competition. Unfortunately for him, he encountered his nemesis, Li Bufan.

Otherwise, even if Ling Feng had stepped in, it would have taken some effort to defeat Li Xue.

It took about the time for half a cup of tea before the audience fully reacted, and a burst of cheers erupted from the crowd. The Tianbai Empire had won!

The seemingly unbeatable Li Xue was dead at the hands of Li Bufan!

"Li Bufan! Li Bufan!"

The talented youths of the imperial capital shouted and screamed. At that moment, Li Bufan was the hero of the entire empire!

On the high platform, the emperor of Tianbai had a slight smile as he nodded approvingly. Li Bufan had given him a great surprise and restored the empire's honor!

Li Bufan deserves a reward! Grand Commandant Li's family too deserves to be rewarded!

"Damn it! How dare you kill one of my generals! What punishment should you face for this!?"

Xiahou Lie's eyes widened in fury as he pounded on the table in front of him with clenched teeth.

Grand Commandant Li stroked his long beard and laughed. "General Xiahou, didn't you just say that in a martial competition, punches and kicks have no eyes? What, do the lives of Tianyang Empire's martial artists matter, but my grandson's life doesn't?"

"

Hmph!

"

Xiahou Lie snorted coldly, immediately at a loss for words.

"Even Li Xue was defeated? It seems that there's someone worthy of me stepping into the ring."

The Eleventh Prince slightly opened his eyes, but there wasn't much surprise in his gaze; rather, there was a hint of excitement.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Lie glanced at the Eleventh Prince and immediately sneered.

With the Eleventh Prince in action, what is Li Bufan but an insignificant ant?

The emperor of Tianbai's eyes twitched slightly.

So, it seems like the final trump card of the Tianyang Empire's envoy delegation is this Eleventh Prince!

In the next moment, the Eleventh Prince's figure mysteriously disappeared from where he was and transformed into a flame, appearing on the platform in an instant.

"Clone of Divine Fire!"

Ling Feng's eyes glimmered with Heavenly Dao divine inscriptions, fully replicating the technique in his mind.

A scorching aura spread out from the Eleventh Prince, sweeping across hundreds of meters. All the martial artists in the vicinity were drenched in sweat, crying out in discomfort.

"It's so hot!"

"I feel like I've been thrown into molten lava!"

"How can he emit such terrifying heat? He's clearly just in the Pulse Formation Realm!"

Li Bufan's expression grew increasingly solemn. The pressure from the Eleventh Prince was unprecedented.

It wasn't a suppression of power, but an indescribable feeling, like a vassal standing before a king. Every move of his felt like it was under the other's control.

"What powerful momentum!"

Ling Feng's eyes twitched.

This Eleventh Prince is close to the threshold of the realm, just like my sword force.

Unfortunately, the Eleventh Prince didn't have extraordinary spiritual consciousness. Otherwise, he might have been able to comprehend sword force himself.

As the Eleventh Prince stepped onto the stage, everyone—the emperor of Tianbai, Grand Commandant Li, Yue Zhonglian, and even Yue Yunlan sitting next to the emperor of Tianbai—all had grim expressions.

Too strong!

This power doesn't belong to the same realm as theirs.

Who below the realm of Spiritual Element Realm could surpass this Eleventh Prince?

At the same time, on the outskirts of the imperial city's martial field, a figure suddenly flitted across a high lookout tower, landing steadily atop it like a great bird.

"Who's there!?"

The tower guards shouted in alarm, but before they could even see the figure clearly, they were instantly frozen by a chilling aura, their consciousness completely blurred.

"S-so cold!"

The guards shivered before fainting.

"

Hmph,

the Eleventh Prince?"

The figure hovered proudly atop the tower, a flash of disdain in his eyes. "In the end, he still doesn't dare to fight me! Just a worthless fool. Does he think he can compete with me for a woman?"

If Ling Feng were here, he would immediately recognize this figure hovering above the tower. It was none other than Yan Jinghong, the genius youth known as the "Empire’s Legend."

This provocation from the Tianyang Empire had finally drawn out the Empire’s Legend.

Unfortunately, his power had already surpassed the Spiritual Element Realm, making him ineligible to compete.

But in the end, he still came.

The Yan family of the Eastern Capital had long planned an alliance with the Cangqiong Sect through marriage, and Yue Yunlan was the most suitable candidate. (This was mentioned back in Chapter 100.)

Yan Jinghong had met Yue Yunlan a few times. Though he didn't have romantic feelings for her, in his eyes, only Yue Yunlan was barely worthy of him within the empire.

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Thus, he had already considered Yue Yunlan his woman. Even the Eleventh Prince would have no chance of stealing her!

He had come today to see the final outcome. If the Tianbai Empire won, he wouldn't need to intervene. But if the Tianyang Empire was victorious, he might have to step in.

...

"Will you step down yourself, or shall I, the Eleventh Prince, send you down?"

The Eleventh Prince didn't even raise an eyelid. To him, Li Bufan wasn't qualified to be his opponent.

Li Bufan drew his Rampant Thunder Sword once more and took a deep breath as the power of wind and thunder surged around him.

Although it had seemed like he killed Li Xue in an instant earlier, in reality, Li Xue had drained most of his true qi. Now, over seventy to eighty percent of his true qi was depleted, leaving him unfit to fight, especially against such a terrifying opponent as the Eleventh Prince.

Swoosh!

A flash of fire could be seen, and the next moment, another figure appeared on the stage, using the exact same movement technique as the Eleventh Prince's Clone of Divine Fire!

"Big Brother?"

Jiang Xiaofan blinked in surprise, glancing around. But Ling Feng's shadow was nowhere to be found!

Ling Feng, just like the Eleventh Prince, had transformed into fire!

"Wow, it's the same move again! This is so cool! It's the ultimate flashy move!"

Lin Mochen looked on with admiration. While the move didn't seem particularly damaging, it was incredibly stylish! So flashy! So cool!

"Clone of Divine Fire?"

The Eleventh Prince was clearly taken aback. This ability was something he had only comprehended after mastering the Mystical Yellow Flame, yet this young man could also perform the same technique.

"So it's the Earth Vein's True Fire."

In the next moment, the Eleventh Prince understood and smiled faintly. "I didn't expect you to possess an abnormal fire as well. But unfortunately, Earth Vein's True Fire is more of an alchemic fire than an abnormal fire. It's good for refining pills, but too weak for combat!"

"Perhaps." Ling Feng shrugged, and then turned to Li Bufan, saying calmly, "Leave the rest to me."

"Although it's frustrating, I'm indeed too exhausted to defeat him now."

Li Bufan gave Ling Feng a deep look and said in a low voice, "You must defeat him!"
