Chapter 2030 - 2028: Kill Huo Litian

[Seeking rewards!]Departure!

Sorrow!

These two words seem to always be inseparable!

But sometimes departures are for better reunions, as is the case for Ye Tianchen and Huo Xianer now!

Both have reluctance in their hearts, and both understand that this separation is necessary, that this separation is for the chance to reunite again!

For Huo Xianer, she doesn’t know when she will see Ye Tianchen again after this separation, because the major laws of the Martial Arts World are changing, ever unpredictable, making it difficult to comprehend. In such a situation, finding someone and meeting again is truly not easy!

For Ye Tianchen, it’s not about worrying he won’t see Huo Xianer, or that he won’t find Huo Xianer, but he always has a bad premonition that after parting with Huo Xianer this time, he might never see her again...

This is a bad premonition that Ye Tianchen hasn’t spoken out loud, fearing Huo Xianer might be scared. He only prays in his heart, hoping that Huo Xianer will be safe. Even if there’s a life-threatening danger, he hopes it would be on him, not Huo Xianer!

"Xianer, take this, it will be useful to you!" Ye Tianchen activated a power from the Fire God Gourd, sending it flying in front of Huo Xianer as he spoke.

"This... No, the Fire God Gourd, though it belongs to our Fire God Sacred Land and was refined by our Fire God Ancestor, isn’t an unclaimed item you found. You received it from your friend for self-protection—it’s an act of trust. If you lend it to me without their consent, it’s not right!" Huo Xianer was startled for a moment, then spoke earnestly.

Hearing Huo Xianer’s words, Ye Tianchen was even more determined to give the Fire God Gourd to her, because his initial intention was feeling that after parting with Huo Xianer, they might never meet again. He felt uneasy and wanted to hand over the Fire God Gourd to Huo Xianer for her protection, and after hearing Huo Xianer’s words, Ye Tianchen felt even more that Huo Xianer was a good person, someone worthy of becoming his confidante!

The Fire God Gourd is a powerful treasure that anyone would want to obtain. Regardless of one’s mastery over fire power, having such a treasure would be worth fierce competition. For Huo Xianer, who herself practices fire power and is a descendant of the gourd’s refiner, it can unleash unparalleled power in her hands. Huo Xianer should desire it more, but considering Ye Tianchen’s dilemma, she didn’t utter a word, even ignoring the safety of her Fire God Sacred Land for Ye Tianchen!

"Hehe, I only said that to deceive that old man Huo Xun, don’t worry. The Fire God Gourd is something I obtained unexpectedly—handing it to you is something I’m absolutely confident about!" Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

"Really?" Huo Xianer hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Of course it’s true. When have I ever lied to you? Don’t worry, truthfully, the Fire God Gourd can’t do much in my hands, but it’s different for you. With it, you might comprehend new things, just don’t slow me down when the time comes!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Hmph, we’ll see who’s the strongest then!" Huo Xianer playfully stared at Ye Tianchen.

"Alright, it’s a deal then!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Once the Fire God Gourd was in Huo Xianer’s hands, Ye Tianchen felt slightly relieved. After all, with the Fire God Gourd at hand, it’s a powerful treasure; as long as she doesn’t encounter Saint Realm experts, Huo Xianer should have no major issues protecting herself!

Swoosh!

In a flash, Ye Tianchen vanished from the "Sun God Tree" branches in front of him. Huo Xianer watched his departing figure and then looked at the Fire God Gourd in her hands. She could feel Ye Tianchen’s affection for her—otherwise, how could he possibly entrust her with the Fire God Gourd? Huo Xianer was not a foolish woman; she knew that Ye Tianchen’s latter words were meant to deceive her. Ye Tianchen entrusted her with the Fire God Gourd for her safety!

"Rest assured, I will hold out until the day we meet again. I will strive so that I can fight alongside you, living or dying together!" Huo Xianer resolutely thought to herself.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, just as Ye Tianchen dashed out of the formation left by the Ancient Fire God and arrived at the ruins outside, a strong firelight attacked him. Ye Tianchen frowned and dodged!

The fire surged into the sky. Standing across from Ye Tianchen, Huo Litian, his longsword blazing, exuded killing intent, stared coldly at Ye Tianchen and said, "So you are indeed here. Where’s the junior sister?"

Ye Tianchen glanced at Huo Litian and shook his head, saying, "You still want to kill me? And also your junior sister?"

"That’s right, whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill, even if it’s the one I love the most!" Huo Litian said harshly.

"Hehe, you really are obstinate, what a pity!" Ye Tianchen smiled calmly and said.

"Humph, the obstinate one is you, not me. Hand over the Fire God Gourd, and I’ll grant you a quick death, otherwise, you’ll neither live nor die!" Huo Litian coldly scoffed.

"You said whoever stands in your way, even if it’s the one you love the most, you’ll kill. As I see it, the one standing in your way is precisely your master, Huo Xun. Not only has he blocked your path, but he’s deceived and used you. He’s always been in your way, hasn’t he?" Ye Tianchen asked as he looked at Huo Litian.

"Facing death, you still dare to sow discord between me and my master. You deserve death!" Huo Litian shouted loudly, rushing at Ye Tianchen!

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen waved his right hand, and the "Taie Sword" appeared. Although in the valley of the Fire God Sacred Land, Ye Tianchen had defeated Huo Litian, and now Ye Tianchen’s injuries had healed well. Defeating Huo Litian was not a difficult task. Yet, Ye Tianchen always felt that Huo Litian was a pitiful person, such a favored one of the heavens, so pitiful, truly a cause for regret!

Clang!

Huo Litian’s longsword collided with Ye Tianchen’s Taie Sword, and a powerful force of slaughter spread out. Both looked at each other coldly, their eyes filled with killing intent. Especially Huo Litian, he couldn’t believe that his beloved junior sister would admire Ye Tianchen. What was even more unacceptable was that despite Ye Tianchen’s severe injuries, he could still defeat him. He couldn’t accept this fact, even at the cost of his life!

Clang! Clang! Clang...

Thud!

A spurt of blood splattered, and Huo Litian was stabbed by Ye Tianchen. His left shoulder almost shattered completely, causing Huo Litian to frown in shock. He never expected that in less than ten moves, Ye Tianchen could severely injure him. Could the gap in their strength be so large? Was he, the young disciple reputed to be the most talented in the Fire God Sacred Land, actually this weak?

"You are Xianer’s senior brother, your nature isn’t bad, just poorly taught by that old thing, Huo Xun. I don’t want to kill you!" Ye Tianchen said, looking at Huo Litian calmly.

"Don’t want to kill me? Do you think you can kill me anytime? Who do you think you are?" Huo Litian roared angrily.

"You truly are no match for me now, that is a fact. I just want to tell you that the so-called ’Master’ Huo Xun is not a good person. If you were no longer of use, he might kill you immediately!" Ye Tianchen advised.

"Impossible, my master raised me from childhood, took me as his disciple, taught me all his skills, like a father to me. How could he harm me?" Huo Litian said with unwavering disbelief.

"If you weren’t Xianer’s senior brother, and if I didn’t sense that your nature isn’t bad, I would have killed you already. I just hope you realize that if your master truly trusted you as you’d expect a father would, how could he plant a Binding Curse deep in your soul? A curse so deadly that should you dare to resist, his mere thought could utterly destroy you? If I’m not mistaken, your master likely found some excuse and never intends to lift this Binding Curse!" Ye Tianchen said with deep regret.

"Stop talking, I’ll kill you and get the Fire God Gourd, then no one will be able to constrain me!" Huo Litian shouted as fiery light erupted from his body, charging at Ye Tianchen!

"Obstinate, there’s no saving you!" Ye Tianchen frowned, as the Taie Sword in his hand surged with divine power!

Thud!

Huo Litian, a talented young disciple of the Fire God Sacred Land, was not low in cultivation realm, but unfortunately, in terms of cultivation realm, he was only at the Mid-stage Martial Saint. Although Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm was also Mid-stage Martial Saint, his physical body power had long reached the Peak Realm of Late Stage Martial Saint. Killing Huo Litian was a breeze. This was why Ye Tianchen, even when severely injured, could still defeat Huo Litian. Huo Litian was simply no match for Ye Tianchen!

His forehead was pierced by the light of the Taie Sword, blood dripping down. Huo Litian was shocked beyond belief. He couldn’t have imagined that with his talent, it would be this easy for Ye Tianchen to kill him. His arrogance and vanity had let him down!

"I actually lost to you just like this, I..." Huo Litian’s eyes were filled with loneliness and unwillingness!

"Have you still not realized? Your master placed such a Binding Curse on you; as I’m piercing your forehead, near annihilation, he must have sensed it, but he didn’t come to save you..." Ye Tianchen shook his head and said. (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
