Chapter 686 Collecting Interest

Pei Fengwen's heart tensed up. He could never forget what happened on that day. At that time, he was surrounded by two Divine Ascending Tribulation Abyssal beasts and was on the end of the rope. When he was about to prepare for the worst, Huoyun Yurou's husband, Huoyun Lingchen, the patriarch of the Fire Cloud Rat Clan at that time, suddenly broke into the circle and forced the opponents away.

However, instead of fighting the opponents together with Huoyun Lingchen, Pei Fengwen summoned the Great Roc and used its power to run away from the battlefield, leaving Huoyun Lingchen behind alone, which led to a tragic incident afterward.

"It seems you remembered it well… Hehe. Of course, how could you forget it?" A rare cold smile appeared on Huoyun Yurou's dried lips. "I've waited for this chance a long time. I didn't expect you would bring it upon yourself."

Bang!

As Huoyun Yurou tabbed the crane on the ground again, several columns of flames instantly shot out from the floor toward the Great Roc in the sky. At the same time, the group of white clouds began to swirl and transformed into a massive net, entirely surrounding the Great Roc image.

The expressions of all experts changed drastically. Huoyun Yurou's profound strength undoubtedly exceeded the eighth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, approaching the legendary ninth level.

Tianqi Junlai's face solidified as he stared at the flame pillars attentively. He was definitely turned into ashes if he confronted them.

"Master, we should contact old master." Tianqi Yi gave a suggestion. The scene in front of him told him that he wasn't Huoyun Yurou's opponent at all, and none of them in this place was.

"No need. I can handle this." Tianqi Junlai didn't want to rely on his father.

Tianqi Yi and Tianqi Er glanced at each other and went silent. They were aware that Tianqi Zongwei had always been dissatisfied with Tianqi Junlai. That was the reason Tianqi Junlai had to do everything by himself.

Screeee—

The Great Roc was in danger. It opened its mouth and let out an ear-piercing screech. Instantaneously, several tornadoes appeared in the sky and fiercely collided with the crimson flame pillars.

Fire and wind intertwined, transforming into several massive spiral flame pillars. All the citizens were startled. They looked at the scene in terror and started to flee in all directions.

Beads of sweat appeared on Pei Fengwen's forehead. He had poured more than eighty percent of his strength into it, but he was still getting suppressed by Huoyun Yurou. It was as though she was the one who possessed the eighth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm's strength instead of him.

The Great Roc madly screamed, but it was futile as the tornadoes gradually weakened and were totally engulfed by the flame pillars.

The surrounding white clouds swirled crazily and compressed the Great Roc virtual image, causing it to scream in pain.

"Stop!" Pei Fengwen roared anxiously. His face was pale beyond words. If the Great Roc was shattered, his foundation would also be harmed. As much as he wanted to retract it, it was too late now.

"I'll collect an interest first." Huoyun Yurou said plainly. She held the crane tightly, and her pupils immediately shone with intense crimson flames.

In the next moment, the white clouds suddenly shook and ignited with crimson flame, wholly swallowing the Great Roc image.

"Scree!" The Great Roc screamed miserably, and its voice began to weaken until it completely disappeared under the sea of flame.

"Wuahhh!" A thick blood arrow shot out from Pei Fengwen's mouth, and he collapsed to the ground. His entire body was weak like jelly, and there was a horrible crack on his Origin Core. With this injury, he would never be able to step into the next realm again for the rest of his life. Unless he could find the legendary Tree of Life to treat him.

"Father!" Pei Wuwen was frightened and hurriedly lifted his father up. It was at this moment did he fully understood what his father had said previously. It wasn't because he didn't want to do anything, but rather he couldn't fight Huoyun Yurou.

Huoyun Yurou swept his gaze over Zi Taiyang and Lang Moxie. "Your turn will come soon." Afterward, she sat back in her seat and closed her eyes.

Zi Taiyang's face became unsightly. He thought he had overestimated Huoyun Yurou already, yet her profound strength could still shock him to the core. He was afraid throughout the entire Western Continent, only Tianqi Zongwei could suppress her.

On the other hand, Lang Moxie didn't care much. He laughed aloud, brimming with a fighting spirit.

"That's enough." Tianqi Junlai suddenly said. He gave a warning gaze to Pei Wuwen and turned toward the platform. "Pei Siwen cannot fight anymore. It is Huoyun Tian's victory."

"What?" Yun Lintian looked at Tianqi Junlai questioningly. "He hasn't admitted defeat yet. According to the rules, this battle is not over yet. Why did Patriarch Tianqi so hurry to make a conclusion? Or perhaps the rules don't apply to him?"

"Bastard! How dare you disrespect Patriarch Tianqi?" Pei Wuwen roared angrily. He couldn't wait to jump onto the platform and give this bastard a slap. It was just that Huoyun Yurou was still around.

Tianqi Junlai didn't care about Pei Wuwen. He stared at Yun Lintian and asked. "What do you want?"

"What do I want? Patriarch Tianqi, I'm afraid you cannot afford it." Yun Lintian smiled faintly and pointed at Pei Siwen. "I believe you could see how vicious he was when he attacked Brother Jin previously. So, in order to make it fair, I will do the same on him."

"You!" Pei Wuwen trembled violently. He quickly turned to Tianqi Junlai and said. "Patriarch Tianqi, you can't let him do it. He's clearly going too far!"

"Going too far? Heh." Yun Lintian laughed coldly. "Pei Wuwen! You better open your filthy eyes and look at Brother Jin clearly. Look at what your son has done. You still have the gut to say this?"

"It's different! Jin Mingzhe obviously overestimated himself. He didn't know his own strength and chose to attack instead of defending. That's what he deserved." Pei Wuwen was shameless to the extreme. "Besides, Siwen didn't even use half of his strength. Who would have thought that Jin Mingzhe was so weak?"

"Pei Wuwen, you shameless bastard! Come and fight me if you dare!" Jin Yang roared furiously.

"Hehe. I see. Then I will use ten percent of my strength." Yun Lintian chuckled coldly. He lifted his left foot and stomped on Pei Siwen's abdomen, right above the Origin Core.

Bang! Crackle!

"Wuaahhhh!" Everyone in the arena became deathly silent. There was only Pei Siwen's miserable shriek echoing in everyone's ears.
