Chapter 89 - Do you Know Who I am?

The heavy thump and loud thunderous roar are increasing people dodging and running from the beast frantically, they scream desperately for help but in that situation who's gonna help them, the beast pinch at the man who is too wounded to move away from the beast shredding his body in frenzy then he consumes the remaining carcass.

The gory scene fright the remain people they did not dare to face the beast again and running in fright, Huang Ni Yang already run without looking back while his brother shoves his own people as a bait to make him get away from the beast, they run to the ruin entrance because that's the only way out remain. The beast chasing them then used his fire breath to burn people who try to run from it.

Meanwhile, Lory has an idea when she notices the statue who only restrain by one chain on it's back, it's a giant statue of a man holding a sword.

"Jin Hao, Li Yan, Lure that beast to here!!" Lory points at the certain spot "Mong Ki, Mong Yi distracts help them distract the beast, Li Xin help me release this big old statue!!" lory runs to the second floor through the wooden spiral stairs

They see the floor crack and the statue is dangling at the wall, immediately they knew what she wants to do, Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan have tacit understanding they run towards where the beast is then they accumulated they powerful Qi on their hand then in one swoosh they jump and punch the beast head, the punch is so hard the beast face was distorted when it got hit.

The beast staggering, it shaking its head from haze after the strong punch, Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan not waiting the beast reaction they turn around and run, the beast sees the perpetrator who hit him got enraged, it makes long angry roar before chasing after them, the beast ignores other people the creature determined to kill Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan, this opportunity give other people chance to rest and gather themselves.

"IT'S COMING!!" Mong Yi shout.

"Careful with the floor!!" Lory reminds the Mong's Brother, while Lory runs to the spiral stairs to get a better look at the floor and Zhao Li Xin jump near the statue. Jin hao and Bei Li Yan leap through the entrance, Bei Li Yan takes out his red whip who is made from sharp chains from his ring while Jin Hao draws a white, thin and very long sword and the sword exudes with chilling force.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi also draw their swords from their back, a black sword Lory never seen before. A few seconds later the beast reaches the entrance, it's pounce on Bei Li Yan the moment the creature see red robes, his robes are more eye-catching than Jin Hao. Bei Li Yan dodge to the side, he bounces between the wall while lashing a few times at the beast's humongous body.

Jin Hao also helps, he slashes a few times in incredible speed on the beast knee that make the creature footing unstable, more slashes coming from Mong Ki and Mong Yi, the beast is overwhelmed by their powerful combat.

Lory watches them fighting from a safe distance on the second floor she amazed she really bring the best OP team, but the beast still needs to push to a certain floor.

Jin Hao gives a powerful kick to the beast head that almost twists its head then the body of the beast twist follows its head, the beast falls face down on the floor with a loud boom.

Then Bei Li Yan used his whip wrapped the beast head to pull that creature to the fragile floor, Mong Yi and Mong Ki help him by giving two more kick to the beast body, once again the beast fall on the floor.

The beast is furious he open it jaw widely then gush out the flame from its mouth, Bei Li Yan dodged behind the stone pillar, Jin Hao and the Mong's Brother bounce from wall to wall dodging from the burning fire behind them, it's likely the beast is enraged by them.

The ruined now catch on fire, the problem is they don't know how to get inside the tomb yet they don't know where is the tomb entrance, but the beast is still going on a rampage he crashes and burns everything around them in madness and this is not good, they might have to leave the ruins.

The beast just need a little more push, Zhao Li Xin got impatient he jump from the statue then he hit the floor the shockwave from his punch push the beast backward a few steps, Lory sees the beast reach the cracked floor, she immediately aim her arrow to the chain on the statue then she releases her arrow.

With the sounds of buzzing follow by 'clunk' sounds the rusty chain is broken and the statue fall of the wall then it hit the beast below.

The weight of the beast and the statue make the floor collapse, the beast, and the statue fall to the black hole living only faint roar.

"It works" Bei Li Yan stifle.

"And look, there is a stair inside the hole" Jin Hao glance at the hole from the collapsing floor.

"Entrance to the tomb….." Zhao Li Xin speaks without expressionless face again.

Lory descends from the spiral stairs "So the tomb is under the ruined" she crotch down near the hole "How classic" she giggles, Girsha flew above her then perch on her shoulder.

[Another adventure Your highness] he teased.

[Indeed….] Lory smiles excitedly.

After the beast is gone there still fire burning everywhere, Zhao Li Xin step away from Lory then he slowly breathes his hand wide open then he takes a deep breath then gradually the fire around them suck to his body rapidly his hands engulf with fire the air around him become hotter, he keep sucked the fire on him until only black charred on the wall and the floor remains.

Lory's eyes bulged she never knew he can do this, but she does didn't knew much about his power.

"Surprised?" Jin Hao surprised her.

"Oh, I am…." she admitted it "What is that, are everyone could do that?"

Jin hao smiles "No, just him" he surprised Lory didn't know how strong Zhao Li Xin is, make his opinion about her increased again "It call the Immortal Flame, this art only a few people could practice it even fewer people could master it"

After the fire dissipated Zhao Li Xin walk toward her, she looks surprised but oddly she look concern "Are you okay?" she makes sure there's nothing wrong with him.

"Of course, what are you worried about?" he confused.

"Everything had it cost, this kinda power…..what has it cost you?"

Zhao Li Xin perplexed. People who knew about his power would be envy, jealousy and greedy for him, and some people who might care for him would admire, happy and congratulate him but only her who would worry worry for him and ask this kinda question, maybe no one in the future who would ask this question to him other than her.

Truthfully there is a downside of this power, if he overused or lose control over it the flame he would be overwhelmed by his owned power and burn to ashes so he needs to be careful while using this power.

For years no one realized about the risk having this kinda power but she does one looks and she knows it, Zhao Li Xin pulls her on his embrace.

He always thought the God is cruel and hard on him that's why his life is never easy since the day he was born but now he didn't think like that anymore, perhaps the God pity him and send her to his life to ease his pained well if that so he feels very grateful.

"Hey, you not answering!" Lory gasped for air after he burry her face on his chest, Zhao Li Xin still wrapped her in his embrace.

He laughs softly at her "I'm fine, you don't need to be worried" he rests his forehead on her forehead, get closed encounter with Zhao Li Xin 'Heaven defying' face her face become red as a tomato "Why your face is so red?" he suddenly asked.

"It's because of the fire...and everything…" she lies, her eyes evading his flirtatious gaze.

Jin Hao sighs 'Now I feel lonely' he murmured then walk away from the couple who does not care whether he was there or not.

A group of people enters the ruins they look exhausted and wounded, Huang Ni yang lost her delicate appearance, her white robes are dirty and his face is paled and cover with sweat, her Brother also not looking better his white robes were stained with black color from the beast flame.

More people enter with the same look, tired, wounded and shaken, all of them relief when they sure the beast is gone, they lean on the wall tiredly, some sit on the floor while their body leans on the wall, other helping their comrade to fix their wound.

"You, could have saved us" Huang Zi Feng suddenly speaks, he glares furiously at Zhao li Xin, while he looks defeated Zhao li Xin still look pristine not even his hair get messy, this appearance only bring more turmoil in his heart

"Why...?" Zhao Li Xin said indifferently he look at Huang Zi Feng as id he is the most stupid man he has ever seen "Am I your bodyguard, subordinated, or perhaps family...we are strangers, why should I help any of you" Zhao Li Xin confuse why this man thinking he would help him, is he an idiot or something?

Huang Zi Feng is a pure narcissistic, everything is evolving around him, everything is about him, he is entitled to anything and everything, he is an honorable and respectful man, Zhao Li Xin should be proud if he can be used by hi, that is what happened in Huang Zi Feng head.

"Do you even know who I am?" Huang Zi Feng face turn crimson his knuckle clenched until it turns white, he hated this man who looking down at him as if he is a trash, he is not, he is the venerated son's of the master Heavenly Jade Pavilion even a crown prince must give him a face, who is he dare to belittle him!

"Do you know who I am?" Zhao Li Xin returns the question.
