Chapter 113:

Leng Lingyun watched the whirlwind inferno grow and approach them apprehensively. He understood that just some shields wouldn't do to defend against his attack.

Wherever the whirlwind inferno passed though, only ashes were left behind.

Leng Lingyun's erected shield was destroyed in an instant, it's power not even on the same level as the whirlwind's.

If they were touched by such terrifying fire, the result would be too horrible to imagine. Even Ben's durable body had been burned to such an extent, then it was obvious what would happen to their normal, human bodies.

Leng Lingyun could have flown away and escaped, but there was no way he would leave anyone behind. Their worries were a bottomless pit. White Emperor clenched his little claw, chirping at Claire, anxious because she was trapped inside the barrier, however, the black ball just watched on with its head tilted.

"Ben! Bring them away!" Claire bellowed. "This is the first promised order, carry it out now! Turn back to your original body fly away with them immediately, right now!"

Roar.....

Ben bellowed into the sky and turned back to his original form. He grabbed everybody with his two claws and threw them on his back, the started flapping his wings, rising to the sky. Currently, he was at the point where it didn't matter he was losing dignity for the dragon race by running away nor breaking his vow that he would never let lowly humans ride on his back.

"Want to run? Humph!" Huo Xiyu sneered. With a wave of his finger, the blue whirlwind inferno started rising and following Ben.

"Bastard!" Claire's grip was so tight, her knuckles lost color. She made the sword disappear instantaneously then brought both of her hands to her chest, desperately trying to draw out power. As she separated her palms, one hand emitted golden flame while the other emitted white flame. Then, she rapidly brought the two flames close, fusing them.

Huo Xiyu's gaze landed on Claire. "What are you doing?" His expression changed greatly. What Claire was currently doing was extremely dangerous! She actually wanted to fuse two types of unique flame then blast open the barrier! The space of the barrier was limited, so she would definitely be injured.

Without a word, Claire fused the flames together then blasted it towards the barrier.

The barrier broke open!

Claire's flame shot towards Huo Xiyu.

Huo Xiyu was caught unawares, so when he had finally gotten back to his senses, his arm had actually been burned.

Claire extended her wings in mid air, staring coldly at Huo Xiyu without any warmth in her eyes.

"You... you actually predicted I would open the barrier. It was only because of that that you were able to injure me. From the very beginning, you had never thought of opening the barrier. Instead, you planned on forcing my hand." Huo Xiyu said through gritted teeth while covering his arm injury. Just then, Huo Xiyu had been burned by Claire's unique flames the moment he opened the barrier.

Claire didn't say a word, only glaring at Huo Xiyu coldly.

Because Huo Xiyu had been distracted, his mental waves had been disconnected and the whirlwind inferno had disappeared.

The golden spear of fire whistled through the air and ran though Huo Xiyu's body. Huo Xiyu's incredulous and despairing gaze landed on Claire and then he slowly started burning. The golden flame spread across his entire body and turned him to ashes.

The flames slowly disappeared into the night sky. Even after he died, Huo Xiyu didn't know what was the cause of his death.

Claire descended to the ground then looked up towards the night sky, smiling brilliantly. She said quietly, yet clearly, one word: "Thanks."

Humph! There seemed to be a cold humph. Then, the surroundings quieted down.

Claire stood silently at the edge of the precipice, cold wind blowing past. She took a deep breath, then closed her eyes. Frustration engulfed her, submerging her heart. She broke through over and over yet this was the result! Unable to withstand a single blow! She had thought she had become strong, but in truth, she didn't count as anything. There were simply too many powerful people in this world and she was simply tiny star in the vast sky. When would she stand at the peak of this world? When would she be strong enough to stand up for herself? When would she become powerful enough to undo the Dark Mark?

Claire clenched her hands into fists hatefully until her knuckles turned white.

Hidden Sect, Spirit Hall.

Thousands upon thousands of copper lights lit up the wide hall. Every light represented someone of the Hidden Sect. These were their spirit lights. If their light extinguished, that meant they had died.

A light suddenly extinguished and underneath it was three words: Huo Xi Yu.

A guarding disciple discovered it with shock.

"Oh no, Elder Huo Xiyu's spirit light has extinguished. I'm afraid he's had a mishap," a disciple said worriedly.

"Quickly report it to the Fire Grandmaster," another disciple said urgently.

Once the disciple of the Spirit Hall relayed the information to the Fire Hall's Grandmaster, a dignified old man, the Fire Grandmaster only sighed. "With Huo Xiyu's nature, this was bound to happen. And today just happened to be the day." But although he said this, the grandmaster was secretly surprised. Who did Huo Xiyu meet that actually had the power to kill him? After all, Huo Xiyu was from the Hidden Sect and also an Elder of the Fire Hall. The grandmaster's face darkened. The killer had to be found.

At this moment, Claire was still standing at the precipice and taking in the wind, feeling the changes within her body.

A disturbance in the air came from behind her. Claire turned and saw Ben had actually flown back, everybody on his back with worried expressions. Only when they saw Claire standing safely at the precipice did they sigh in relief.

The numerous injuries on Ben's backs had already been healed by Leng Lingyun.

Ben descended. Everybody else dashed over to Claire.

"Claire, are you alright?"

"Claire, what happened to that guy?"

"Claire, are you injured?"

Each concerned voice warmed Claire's heart. She shook her head slightly, then smiled. "I'm fine. He, on the other hand, has neither bones nor ashes left."

"Who killed him?" Everybody asked at the same time. Of course nobody thought Claire had killed him. His power had far surpassed Claire's.
