My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 959

Chapter 959: Fiery Demon King

 

Daoist recognized this kind of snake since he had seen it when he was on a mission with the Wolf Fang Team on Tiger Continent. The Wolf Fang Team almost became their food that time.

Qingfeng Li recognized the Fire-Scale snake just now as well, and he couldn’t help but regret his actions.

He would’ve caught it alive instead of killing it had he known about that. The vengeful snakes would come in thousands to get revenge for that one snake.

Hissing…

The horrifying hissing sound came from all over the beach as the sand moved towards Qingfeng Li and everyone, trapping them in a circle.

Shoo..shoo..shoo…

Over ten thousand Fire-Scaled snakes flew out of the sand and hissed at them with hatred in their eyes.

“What do we do, boss. There’s so many of them that we can’t break through,” Daoist said in horror.

Qingfeng Li frowned at the terrifying Red Fiery Island because he did not expect to cause so much trouble after just arriving

However, there would usually be a Snake King ruling the Fire-Scaled snakes and organizing their attack.

Qingfeng Li focused and saw a giant Fire-Scaled snake in the middle of the thousands of snakes. It was much bigger in size and brighter in color than the rest of them. That was the Fire-Scaled Snake King that was the size of a man, with a crown-like pattern on its forehead.

The face of the snake was human-like and it also showed emotions similar to humans. It was said that some beasts would evolve after practicing cultivation techniques, and this Fire-Scaled Snake King had obviously been practicing a special technique to have developed the facial features of a human and emotions.

Not only humans could practice self-cultivation techniques but also beasts and plants.

“Damn human, how dare you kill my subjects?” the Fire-Scaled Snake King unexpectedly spoke along with hissing.

“Boss, did that snake evolve and learn how to talk?” Daoist was scared.

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes at Daoist, “Don’t make a fuss about it. It’s the Snake King so it’s normal for cultivated beasts to talk after reaching a certain level.”

Daoist stuck his tongue out, closing his mouth as he stared at the Red-Scale Snake King in astonishment.

Think about it, it would definitely be a weird feeling if a snake begins speaking with you.

“You are mistaken, Snake King. Your side attacked me first so it was you who instigated this, not us.”

“Despicable human, it is natural for us to attack you since you invaded our turf—the Red Fiery Island.”

“The FRed iery Island is no one’s turf, Snake King. Who are you to claim it as yours? If you still have some sense then you should get lost right now,” Qingfeng Li sneered.

Others would be terrified when faced with so many Fire-Scaled snakes and the Snake King, but Qingfeng Li wasn’t at all. His dragon blood could suppress all snake type evil monsters once activated. In the past, the blood sucking snakes had all yielded to him when he saved Xue Lin at the Crimson Sect.

“Human, I will kill you for provoking my dignity as the Snake King,” the Fire-Scaled Snake King commanded the thousands of snakes to attack the Qingfeng Li and his people.

Qingfeng Li sneered and actived the dragon blood inside his body as a roar of dragon sounded. An overruling suppressive aura of a godly dragon appeared on his body, instantly being sensed by the snake type monsters.

Bam, Bam, Bam…

The Fire-Scaled snakes near him started to bow and knock their heads onto the ground. It was a magnificent view of ten thousand snakes bowing to Qingfeng Li.

The Fire-Scaled Snake King was trembling from his deepest soul in awe of the dragon blood’s suppression. It lowered its body on the ground and bowed at Qingfeng Li as well.

It felt a natural sense of fear from the depth of its bloodline towards Qingfeng Li, which was even stronger than when he saw the Fiery Demon King of the Fiery Island.

The most powerful person on the Fiery Island is the Fiery Demon King, who was a beautiful and terrifying woman. She would kill the snakes without blinking whenever she was in a bad mood. There were originally one hundred thousand of their kind but they were now left with one thousand.

The Fire-Scaled snake kind was now more terrified by Qingfeng Li than the Fiery Demon King because he could kill them all if he wanted and they wouldn’t even dare to fight back.

“Boss is so awesome. The snakes are bowing and knocking their heads on the ground to him,” Daoist looked at him in worship as if he almost kneeled in front of Qingfeng Li as well, due to his domineering bloodline.

It was a good thing that the godly dragon suppression was only effective against snake type monsters so it did not have as strong an influence on the rest of them. Otherwise, the Daoist would be bowing without a doubt.

It was not only Daoist who was thinking this. Alice, Purple Bat Demon King and the other people were also looking at their boss in admiration. He could always surprise them.

They thought a fight with the Fire-Scaled snakes were inevitable and were prepared to get injured already. But now, the Fire-Scaled Snake King along with over ten thousand snakes were all kneeling for Qingfeng Li reverently as if he was their king.

“Fire-Scaled Snake King, I will spare your life only if you answer my question honestly, or I’ll kill you and all the snakes,” Qingfeng Li said coldly.

The Snake King shivered at his voice and started trembling.

“Ma…mas..master…I will tell you everything I know,” Fire-Scaled Snake King’s arrogant tone was replaced by a meek one.

“Tell me about the Red Fiery Island. Are there human here and who is the strongest?” Qingfeng Li smiled and asked.

He knew that the Red Fiery Island, as one of the ten most dangerous islands of the Pacific Ocean, must be dangerous and horrifying. Just like how on Dark island, the Shark Demon King was trapped and was still waiting for his rescue.

Fire-Scaled Snake King said in a low voice, “Master, there are two powers on the Fiery Island: magma men who can control the magma of volcano and lives under the magma and the Fiery Demon King who is as beautiful as she is evil. She is a devilish tyrant who had killed many beasts on the island and has always been fighting the magma men.

Magma men? There was actually such a thing as magma men?

Qingfeng Li was shocked to hear that.

As for the name Fiery Demon King, Qingfeng Li felt like he had heard of it somewhere but he couldn’t remember where.

Chapter 960: Black Eagle Blocking the Way

 

Purple Bat Demon King frowned as he thought of something at Fire-Scaled Snake King’s words.

“Young boss, there is a Fiery Demon King amongst the rank of ten Demon Kings, could this one on Red Fiery Island be…” Purple bat Demon King walked up to Qingfeng Li and whispered.

Qingfeng Li was stunned and then he realized why he thought the name, Fiery Demon King, sounded familiar. His boss Wind-Edge Demon King used to tell him that the Fiery Demon King was a beauty amongst the ten demon kings and many of them liked her because of her charm.

“I hope it’s Fiery Demon King because that will make it much safer for us to be here on the Fiery Island,” Qingfeng Li smiled in expectation.

He knew that he was in on a tight schedule since the forbidden district of Kunlun mountain would be opened soon. He needed strength to save his father when he enters the forbidden district.

Qingfeng Li asked Fire-Scaled Snake King to lead the way to the center of Fiery Island because that was where the Fiery Demon King was.

They encountered another danger after a few hundred meters. A giant black eagle blocked their way.

The huge black eagle was over ten meters with a human head and the body of a bird. Its pitch black feathers were as sharp as needles.

There were many human skeletons lining the ground not far from the eagle. The skin and flesh of them must have been eaten by the black eagle as there were still some fragments at its feet.

“This is my turf, human,” the man-faced black eagle sneered at Qingfeng Li arrogantly.

Fire-Scaled Snake King opened his mouth before Qingfeng Li, “Let us pass black eagle brother, we are heading to the center of Red Fiery Island.”

Obviously, the Fire-Scale snake king was acquainted with the black eagle, calling him brother and wishing for him to make an exception in his favor.

But the black eagle did not give the Fire-Scaled King an easy time and said coldly, “Snake King, you are provoking me by bringing people from your beach into my turf. I will not let you pass.”

Everyone was beginning to feel shocked, finding that every beast on the island could talk.

Fire-Scaled Snake King was embarrassed with anger as the black eagle refused him.

Qingfeng Li stepped forward, “I’ll give you one opportunity to get lost right away, or I’ll kill you.”

“Hahaha, I am a demonic beast a half-step into the True Spirit Realm. How can a lowly, despicable human like yourself kill me,” the black eagle held his head up and looked at Qingfeng Li arrogantly.

Thinking about the humans that it had eaten before, black eagle swallowed a mouthful of saliva and eagerly stared at them .

“Then I will grant your wish to die,” Qingfeng Li’s eyes shone with a murderous ray after seeing the black eagle’s stare.

Boom!

He instantly flicked his wrist and chopped at the black eagle with his Red Fiery Sword.

The sword shot out a sword energy of about twenty meters in length that ripped through space towards the black eagle. His head was chopped off by the sword energy as blood sprayed everywhere. The black eagle’s giant body fell onto the ground, raising the dirt as it landed.

“Such strong power., Fire-Scaled Snake King was frightened by how easily Qingfeng Li took down the black eagle.

In fact, he was about the same level as the black eagle since they were both a half-step into the True Spirit Realm. Fire-Scaled Snake King would have become another headless corpse if he hadn’t yielded to Qingfeng Li on the beach.

Qingfeng Li ignored the Fire-Scaled Snake King’s thoughts and walked to the black eagle’s corpse. He cut through his abdomen and found the black eagle’s demon nucleus—an egg-sized black crystal. It was a wind demon nucleus which can help improving speed.

“You practice wind element vital essence, right, Purple Bat Demon King? This wind demon nucleus is for you,” Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and handed it to him.

“Thank you, Young Master,” Purple Bat Demon King became cheerily excited.

The bat movement technique that Purple Bat Demon King had been practicing was as fast as a flash of lightning and a wind demon nucleus would be needed in order for him to reach the next level. The black eagle, as a wind type evil monster, was of great use for him as he could increase his speed to another level after practicing with this wind demon nucleus.

Fire-Scaled Snake King led the way with even more respect after the black eagle had been killed by Qingfeng Li.

The ten-thousand-square-mile immense Fiery Island was home to many demonic beasts. Those beasts that were practicing towards evolving into humanoids were called demonic beasts while those that weren’t were called animals.

Qingfeng Li easily killed a few more demonic beasts that tried to attack them on the way.

Sure enough, he gave all the demon nucleus of the killed demonic beasts with the Wolf Fang Team, Elder Daoist and the rest of them for them to practice and improve their powers.

…

At this time, red magma was rolling in the volcano and searing the air at the center of the Fiery Island.

A beautiful fair woman was standing not far from the magma with hot air coming out of her pretty big eyes.

She had a sexy body aside from a pretty face. Her big chest was bursting out of her shirt as her fair skinny waist showed off her tight skin. The slim legs of hers were fair as crystal as well.

She was in her thirties, which were the years of a woman’s life when she appeared most beautiful. The women looked like a juicy peach in a short red robe, making people wish to take a bite of her.

A group of red-skinned, red-haired, red-eyed magma men stood in front of her. They were a typical group of people of the Fiery Island who lived under the magma.

The leader was a man in his forties with volcano-like skin and red flames surrounding his body.

“Get out of here Fiery Demon King, this is our, the magma men’s, turf,” the man frowned.

“Shan Zhu, I’ll leave as soon as you hand over the fiery fruit,” Fiery Demon King smiled charmingly as she stared at a red little tree in the distance cheerfully.

It was a two-meter-tall little tree growing out from underneath the stones in the magma river, like a ball of fire burning. The red tree was surrounded by magma like flames, absorbing fire type energy.

There were three apple sized fruits on the tree, which were as red as fire.

Qingfeng Li would’ve easily recognized that the fiery fruits were a treasure for refining spirit level elixirs if he was here. And he would definitely snatch them as well.

Chapter 961: Scrambling for the Fiery Fruits

 

“I will say it one more time, Fiery Demon King. This is our turf and you have one minute to leave or I will be forced to show you who is the boss around here,” the middle-aged man said impatiently as red light shot from his eyes.

“Hehe, I have told you I will not leave unless you give me one of the fiery fruits,” she licked her charming lips as she smiled and firmly stated.

The fiery fruit is an extremely rare spiritual fruit which only grows in volcanic magma and can only be harvested once every hundred years. The Fiery Demon King certainly wanted to get it because who knew when would be the next time if she missed this opportunity.

In addition, the fiery fruit would be helpful for improving her strength as well.

“One minute is now up. I’ll have to teach you a lesson now since you are still here,” the red-haired man jumped up and landed right in front of Fiery Demon King.

Shoo!

The red-haired man swung a five finger wide red broadsword at Fiery Demon King. It ripped through the air and arrived by her head in no time.

“An upper-grade spiritual device? Not bad,” Fiery Demon King smiled absentmindedly, looking at the broadsword in his hand.

Boom!

Fiery Demon King lightly stepped into the ground as she swirled up like a butterfly, suddenly dodging his attack.

She then kicked her little foot at the middle-aged man’s chest and pushed him four or five steps back.

The magma men behind him were surprised to see their captain being so easily pushed back with a kick.

“Is this how strong you magma men are? That’s really disappointing,” Fiery Demon King shook her head.

Actually, Fiery Demon King did not use her full strength just now, because if she did, the men’s bones would’ve been broken. She only wanted the fiery fruit, not to make magma men her enemies.

“Sigh, magma men are becoming weaker and weaker,” a voice on the side sighed exasperatedly all of a sudden.

A man-faced Tiger King was standing not far away from them as his eyes glistened with red rays. He had obviously progressed in his cultivation as he had already evolved to have a man’s head.

“Crimson Tiger King, are you here to fight for the fiery fruit as well?” Fiery Demon King glimpsed at him.

“Of course. The fiery fruits are spirit fruits which can help improving my power. Plus, it only ripens once every hundred years,” Crimson Tiger King said arrogantly, looking fierce.

The red-haired man looked very angry since he was already having trouble dealing with Fiery Demon King, and then the Crimson Tiger King came to get in on the action as well.

“My suggestion is: the three of us each get one of the three fiery fruits. It’s fair, so what do you guys think?” Crimson Tiger King suggested with a smile on his face.

No other faction but the magma men, Fiery Demon King and Crimson Tiger King were qualified to get the fiery fruits since they were the most powerful ones on Fiery Island.

The red-haired man was obviously considering the feasibility of this suggestion with a cloudy face. Although the magma men were powerful, their patriarch was still deep in seclusion. Him alone, without the patriarch, was no match for either the Fiery Demon King or the Crimson Tiger King.

Suddenly, the rustling of fruits being plucked from the branches came from behind the three negotiating parties.

“We are in luck to see real fiery fruits here. I’ll take them,” an arrogant and domineering voice upset the middle-aged man.

Qingfeng Li came in with Purple Bat Demon King and the Wolf Fang Team, along with Fire-Scaled Snake King who was leading the way.

It would’ve taken Qingfeng Li much longer if it weren’t for the Snake King’s guidance and help.

“How did you find your way here, human?” the red-haired man said in a very unfriendly tone.

Magma men had always been resistant and hostile to human, considering them their enemies.

Qingfeng Li pointed at Fire-Scaled Snake King, “This is the one who took me here.”

Fire-Scaled Snake King almost began crying when he heard Qingfeng Li frame him for leading them here. It was you who forced me to take you here and you would’ve killed me with your sword if I hadn’t done so!

The red-haired man rolled his eyes at Fire-Scaled Snake King in dissatisfaction.

“You are a coward to listen to a human’s threats,” Crimson Tiger King mocked.

The demonic beasts on Fiery Island were born hostile to humans. They were accustomed to directly attacking humans whenever they saw one on the island.

Fire-Scaled Snake King was mad at the comment but he swallowed his anger as he thought of how strong Crimson Tiger King was.

Crimson Tiger King, as the king of tigers, was stronger than Fire-Scaled Snake King, the king of snakes. Therefore, he didn’t dare to revolt.

“If you hold a such strong hatred towards humans, man-headed tiger, why didn’t you evolve into a dog face instead of a man’s face?” Qingfeng Li shot back at him.

“Damn human, how dare you make fun of me?” Crimson Tiger King shot a warning look at Qingfeng.

“Why are you frightening this cute little guy, giant tiger?” Fiery Demon King laughed charmingly as she glimpsed at Qingfeng Li, finding his face familiar.

Purple Bat Demon King rolled his eyes at Fiery Demon King’s remark. She was still so willful, flirting with the young master before even finding out who he was.

“Do you still remember me, fiery sister?” he stepped out and said.

This was not his original plan but Fiery Demon King would have kept flirting with the young master otherwise. He had to stop her from doing that.

“You are…little bat?” Fiery Demon King asked, finding him similar to the little bat from fifteen years ago.

She wasn’t sure because they hadn’t seen each other for fifteen years.

“Do you remember buying me lollipops fifteen years ago, fiery sister?” Purple Bat Demon King was not happy about his sister forgetting about him: she was so nice to him when he was a little boy.

“Ah, I remember you now, hehe. Little Bat has become such a handsome man after fifteen years! Do you have a girlfriend? I can set you up with one if you want!”

Purple Bat Demon King was speechless about this sister. How can you not recognize our young master right here?

Chapter 962: This Beauty is a bit Arrogant

 

Purple Bat Demon King was exasperated that his sister did not recognize Qingfeng Li so he quickly introduced him, “He is the Conqueror’s son and our young master.”

He was frustrated that the Fiery Demon King had totally forgotten about Qingfeng Li.

“Really?! I only remember that he was just a little kid when he was brought to the Wolf Continent. Now he’s all grown up,” Fiery Demon King blinked her bright eyes.

Purple Bat Demon King frowned at his sister when she neither kneeled before the young master or greeted him with respect.

He was not happy with her arrogant manners.

Seeming to have read the displeasure on Purple Bat Demon King’s face, Fiery Demon King pouted and said, “The Conqueror promised to give me a fiery fruit when I agreed to be one of the ten demon kings. Then he disappeared without giving me the fruit, so I consider myself a free woman now.”

“This little brother is quite cute. Do you want me to introduce a girlfriend to you?” she glanced at Qingfeng Li with a smile.

It seemed to be a hobby of Fiery Demon King’s to introduce girlfriends to every man she met. And Qingfeng Li was no exception.

“Of course I do. But I have my eye on you and I’d like you to be my girlfriend,” not to be outdone, Qingfeng Li answered back flirtatiously.

Fiery Demon King blushed at his words, angry that she was outplayed by a much younger man.

“Your name is Qingfeng Li, right? Be careful with your manners when you are talking with me or I will teach you a lesson.”

“Senior sister, I feel quite itchy recently and would like a good beating. Please come and give me a lesson,” Qingfeng Li said playfully.

Of course, he had no problem with a beating from a beautiful woman.

Fiery Demon King’s face turned pink with shame and anger. She was frustrated that he had outwitted her again.

The members of the Wolf Fang Team all looked at her with pity because they knew from experience that Qingfeng Li not only killed people with insults, but had made many beauties fall in love with him with his sweet words.

Seeing Qingfeng Li and Fiery Demon King flirting with each other, Crimson Tiger King and the red-haired middle-aged man were simmering in anger.

The red-haired middle-aged man was especially angry at Qingfeng Li as he, a mere human, was ignoring him on the territory of the magma men.

“Despicable human, you must leave our territory immediately” pointing his finger at Qingfeng Li, he yelled furiously.

“I hate to be pointed at. Lower your finger and give me a fiery fruit and I will leave immediately,” Qingfeng Li glanced at the man and said lightly.

The fiery fruit was a precious spirit fruit, an object desired by not only Fiery Demon King and Crimson Tiger King, but Qingfeng Li as well.

“No way. The fiery fruits belong to us, the Magma men, and you will not receive a single one,” the middle-age man sneered.

“Then I have to take it by myself,” with a faint smile, Qingfeng Li strode forward, determined to take the fruit.

“Magma Fist,” the middle-aged man roared and slammed his right fist on the ground, forming a horrifying torrent of magma out of vital essence.

The Magma Fist was a set of powerful spirit-grade self-cultivation techniques which could transform one’s vital essence into magma and scorch the earth black.

Seeing their leader launch an attack, the magma men around them were all excited because they had learnt in their daily training led by the captain that he could explode a small hill with his Magma Fist.

“Little brother, do you need your sister’s help to deal with the Magma Fist?” Fiery Demon King was all smiles.

Qingfeng Li cast a glance at her and said lightly, “No, but I need a woman to wash my feet. Would you do it for me?”

“Y-y-y -you – you are disgusting and ungrateful~” Enraged, she gave him a vicious look as she stuttered out a response.

If Qingfeng Li had been a person other than the Conqueror’s son, she would have killed him with one palm strike.

She had been one of the ten demon kings fifteen years ago but she left the Conqueror, who had not found the fiery fruit for her. She searched for the fruits by herself and finally found them on the Fiery Island.

But the fruits still needed many years to mature when she found them, so she settled down on the island to wait for the harvest time. The fiery fruit was essential to her cultivation breakthrough since she exercised fire-natured self-cultivation techniques.

Qingfeng Li was emotionlessly facing the terrifying Magma Fist attack.

He didn’t move until the fist was almost upon him.

“Strangle Hell Fist, second fist – Nature Explosion,” with a low shout, he launched the second fist technique of the Strangle Hell Fist.

A black shadow coalesced from natural energy suddenly appeared in front of him. It smashed viciously onto the magma.

BOOM!

The magma formed of vital essence exploded into nothing while the shadow of the Strangle Hell Fist continued on its path, shoving the red-haired middle-aged man into the magma river with a splash about a dozen meters high.

“Such great strength!” Fiery Demon King’s pupils contracted with astonishment since Qingfeng Li’s power had exceeded her expectations.

All the magma men were dumbfounded at the sight. They had expected their leader to give a good beating to Qingfeng Li but in a blink of eye, their leader was sent flying into the magma river.

Ahh!

With a scream, the middle-aged man jumped out of the magma river. On the red skin of his chest appeared a fist shaped dent, as one of his ribs had been broken by Qingfeng Li.

“Damned human, you wounded me!” he was simmering with fury, wanting to skin Qingfeng Li alive.

Chapter 963: The Chief of Magma Men Tribe

 

“Hey, is your head filled with magma or something? Did I steal your wife or daughter? Why are you calling me a damn human?” Qingfeng Li said resentfully.

He was not pleased with the middle-aged man calling him a despicable human since the magma men themselves were just a variant of humans. After all, the only non-human creature here was Crimson Tiger King, who was a demonic beast.

The middle-aged man was enraged at Qingfeng Li’s insulting words. He could never win the battle of insults with Qingfeng Li.

“Detestable, despicable, shameless human, I will kill you!” he roared out several insulting words at Qingfeng Li.

He swung his giant Magma Fist, melting the air on its way, and slamming it viciously at Qingfeng Li.

“Reckless guy,” Qingfeng Li smiled disdainfully and shoved his right fist into the chest of the middle-aged man.

Crack!

The cracking sound signified the middle-aged man losing another rib before he was sent flying backward into the magma river. With a large splash of molten rock, he screamed pitifully, obviously severely injured.

“Too weak. I didn’t expect the magma men would be so weak,” shaking his head, Qingfeng Li was a bit disappointed.

He had heard about the power of the magma men on Red Fiery Island, who could live in the magma. The middle-aged man was much weaker than he had expected.

“Well, since the fiery fruits have matured, I will pick them,” seeing the matured fruits, Qingfeng Li decided to take them.

Sensing Qingfeng Li’s intention, Fiery Demon King and Crimson Tiger King also stepped forward, eyeing each other cautiously.

Crimson Tiger King had not taken Qingfeng Li seriously until the latter revealed his strength by sending a magma man flying with one punch.

The atmosphere was becoming tense with an imminent conflict.

At this moment, an old voice was heard from the bottom of the magma river, “How overbearing. You three people shouldn’t have tried to take our fiery fruits by force, especially when we are all on magma men territory.”

The powerful presence emitting from the old voice was frightening.

The magma in the river opened slowly and revealed a red-haired, red skinned old man standing on the bottom of the river. He looked at Qingfeng Li and the others coldly.

“Congratulations Patriarch on the end of your secluded training,” all the magma men kneeled with respect.

The old man was the chief of the magma men. He had just ended his seclusion and was extremely powerful.

Both Qingfeng Li and Crimson Tiger King took a step backward, feeling a deadly threat from the Magma Chief.

Staring at the chief fearlessly, the powerful Fiery Demon King didn’t step back.

“Young man, you dared to wound one of us. I have to teach you a lesson,” with a chilling smile, the chief hacked a big saber at Qingfeng Li.

The saber emitted a burning presence of magma and its twenty-meter long saber aura cracked the air.

“Earth-grade spiritual device! It is an earth-grade spiritual device!” looking at the razor-sharp saber aura, Qingfeng Li was astonished that the magma chief possessed an earth-grade spiritual device.

Klang!

He drew his Red Fiery Sword and slashed it towards his opponent. The twenty-meter long sword aura emitting from the sword clashed with the old man’s saber aura.

Both weapons were earth-grade spiritual devices and they collided with a horribly violent force.

Boom!

Pale-faced, Qingfeng Li was sent flying backward by the powerful momentum of his enemy’s saber.

“Late-stage of the True Spirit Realm? Are you really a master of the late-stage True Spirit Realm?” a trace of horror appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes.

It must be noted that Qingfeng Li was unrivaled in the early-stage of the True Spirit Realm and could even fight a middle stage True Spirit Realm master. But, he was no match for the chief, who was two stages above him.

“Wow, an early-stage True Spirit Realm fighter could actually withstand my strike. You have practiced good sword techniques and even have an earth-grade spiritual device,” a trace of surprise appeared in the chief’s eyes.

Earth-grade spiritual devices were so precious and rare that even the chief of the magma men, the strongest force on Red Fiery Island, had only one.

At the appearance of the magma chief and having witnessed his horrible power, Crimson Tiger King’s expression changed and he began to move stealthily backward, trying to leave the place.

“Crimson Tiger King, do you have my permission to leave?” the Magma Chief said coldly.

Crimson Tiger King’s face paled when his intention was discovered. He knew that he was no match for the Magma Chief and staying here was quite dangerous for him.

Only Fiery Demon King was still smiling, undaunted by the power demonstrated by the Magma Chief.

“Congratulations on your breakthrough into the late-stage of the True Spirit realm during your seclusion. That’s very good news indeed,” she giggled.

The chief’s expression changed at the sight of Fiery Demon King. Obviously, he had recognized her as the woman who had been wandering around on his territory.

“Fiery Demon King, why are you here?”

“Magma Chief, I have waited for the fiery fruits for fifteen years. Of course I came for the fruit.”

“The fiery fruits belong to the magma men and we won’t give any to you.” the chief refused her with a frown.

Fiery Demon King smiled coldly at his words. She channeled her vital essence and suddenly an overwhelmingly powerful presence was emitted from her, boiling up the magma in the river.

“Late-stage True Spirit realm! Fiery Demon King, you have also reached the late-stage of the True Spirit Realm?” the chief was stunned.

It must be noted that the chief had not reached the late-stage of the True Spirit realm until he was over one hundred years. Obviously, Fiery Demon King was much more talented than him, since she had reached the same level in her thirties.

Sensing the powerful presence radiating from Fiery Demon King, Qingfeng Li frowned at the realization that the beauty had been hiding her true power until the appearance of the Magma Chief.

No wonder she didn’t want to take Qingfeng Li as her young master. With her great talent, she was much more powerful than Qingfeng Li and naturally regarded him as beneath her.

Chapter 964: Gaining Insight on Volcanic Sword Techniques

 

Although Fiery Demon King regarded Qingfeng Li with disdain, Qingfeng Li looked at her with heat in his eyes, while also thinking about what a good bodyguard she would be if he could impress her into following him by subduing this powerful Magma Chief.

While he entertained himself with this thought, Qingfeng Li kept casting heated glances at Fiery Demon King.

She noticed his heated glances and asked, “Stop staring at me or I will gouge your eyes out.”

Like every other woman, she felt frustrated when a man was lustfully staring at her.

“Every gentleman loves to pursue a lady. Though you are not a lady, you are a powerful woman. How about submitting to me and becoming my maid?” Qingfeng Li asked in an overbearing tone.

At his words, everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot, thinking, “Hey, brother, this she-devil is a late-stage True Spirit Realm master and much more powerful than you. If you keep on flirting with her so shamelessly, she will tear you into pieces.”

As everyone expected, Fiery Demon King began simmering in rage at his flirtatious words.

“Qingfeng Li, do you really think I will not deal with you because you are the Conqueror’s son?” she took a step toward him and said coldly.

“Beauty, we are both trying to get some of the fiery fruits. If you fight with me, the magma men will be quite happy. Are you willing to give up the fiery fruits after fifteen years of waiting?”

His word hit home.

She had waited for fifteen years for the fiery fruit which matured every one hundred years. She couldn’t wait another one hundred years for the next fruit.

“Humph, I will deal with you later,” she gave him an unfriendly look.

She had decided to teach him a good lesson after she got the fruit.

Ignoring Qingfeng Li, Fiery Demon King focused her attention on Huo Zhu. She took one step forward, a horrible presence emitting from her.

“Chief Huo Zhu, I will say it again: Give me the fiery fruit and I will leave,” Fiery Demon King threatened.

“In your dreams,” the chief shook his head disdainfully.

“Then I will take it myself,” she leapt into the air and flew toward the fiery fruits.

“Magma Saber Techniques, Surging Waves,” Huo Zhu, the Magma Chief, roared and hacked his red long saber. It whipped up a wave of magma of over ten meters high and directed it at Fiery Demon King.

“Nine Spirits Whip,” the Fiery Demon King took out a red whip.

Red as fire, the whip was over three meters long and had complex patterns engraved on the surface. It was an earth-grade spiritual device.

With nine sections, the Nine Spirits Whip was famous for its great power.

Fiery Demon King swung her whip toward the magma saber, creating gusts of wind in the air wherever it went.

BOOM!

The saber and whip collided with each other with an earth-shaking sound, sending all the magma flying up spectacularly.

As they were both late-stage True Spirit Realm masters, Chief Huo Zhu and Fiery Demon King formed a protective light shield with their vital essence against the force of the flying magma. Otherwise they would have been severely burnt by the burning magma.

Looking at the surging magma flying high in the air, Qingfeng Li’s eyes sharpened when an idea dawned upon him.

He saw the similarities between his Volcanic Sword Techniques and the surging magma flowing from underneath the big volcano, where the magma men lived.

There were four techniques in the spirit level Volcanic Sword Techniques and Qingfeng Li had, so far, only grasped the first technique, Volcanic Condensation.

Watching the surging magma, he had just gained insight of the second technique, Volcanic Tumble.

He slashed the Red Fiery Sword in a special movement pattern and the magma in the river flew up instantly flew ten meters into the air.

With the Volcanic Tumble Technique, Qingfeng Li could direct the movement and force of the magma, as well as create volcanic eruptions with his vital essence to fight his enemies.

Thanks to the fight between Fiery Demon King and the magma men chief, whose power had sent the magma surging and tumbling, Qingfeng Li had gained insight into the second Volcanic Sword Technique.

He felt a new surge of power circulating in his body.

At the same time, Fiery Demon King and the Chief had launched several hundred strikes at each other. Since they were both late-stage True Spirit Realm masters equipped with earth-grade spiritual devices, neither of them could gain the upper hand.

Finally, they had begun land began using fist techniques as well as their weapons.

Boom, boom!

The collision of their strongest attacks wounded both of them, but they resumed their fight without pause despite their injuries.

“Hehe, now is the perfect time for me to take the fiery fruits,” Qingfeng Li’s eyes glinted.

He would never have had a chance at the fruits if Fiery Demon King and the Chief had not been fighting each other, since he was no match for either of them.

Swoosh!

Qingfeng Li leapt up like a flying arrow dashing toward the fiery fruits.

The fruits were on a rock in the middle of the magma river. Qingfeng Li flew halfway across the river and landed on the rock, only one meter away from his target.

He was reaching out his right hand to pick the fiery fruits when he sensed an attack. He leapt to the side hurriedly, and the spot he was previously in burst in a splash of magma and stone.

“Crimson Tiger King, you launched a sneak attack on me!” a cold light flashed in Qingfeng Li’s eyes.

If not for his sharp instincts, Qingfeng Li would have been dead.

“Detestable human, the fiery fruits are mine. Get your ass out of here,” Crimson Tiger King said arrogantly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Chapter 965: Heavy Loss on Both Sides

 

When Fiery Demon King was fighting in a stalemate with the Magma Men’s Chief, Huo Zhu, Crimson Tiger King tried to take this opportunity to grab the fiery fruits.

But when that idea hit him, Qingfeng Li was already one step ahead of him. Crimson Tiger King followed Qingfeng Li and launched a sneak attack on him, but unfortunately, he was noticed.

“Detestable human, the fiery fruits are mine.” With a sneer, Crimson Tiger King reached out his sharp claws for the fruits.

His paw was very fast and in a blink of the eye, it was upon the fiery fruit.

Qingfeng Li slammed his right fist forward abruptly and clashed viciously with the paw, making a huge sound. They both took a step back.

“Mid-stage of True Spirit Realm?” Qingfeng Li frowned. Crimson Tiger King was one stage above him but Qingfeng Li was undaunted by this fact.

A trace of surprise appeared in Crimson Tiger King’s eyes, wondering why he was forced back a step by his opponent, who was one stage lower than him.

“Tiger King Paw,” with a low yell, he swiped out with his sharp claws, slashing through the air and going straight towards Qingfeng Li’s heart.

With this strike, Crimson Tiger King intended to kill Qingfeng Li by ripping his heart out.

“Strangle Hell Fist.” With a grim face, Qingfeng Li used his signature move.

It transformed into a huge wispy mass of natural energy, clashing with the Tiger King’s claw. Huge waves of energy were released, spreading outward and blowing the magma high into the air.

Deng, deng!!

Once again, both of them were forced back one step. With a difference of only one stage, their strengths were matched.

“No! They are trying to take the fiery fruits.” At the sight of the battle between Qingfeng Li and Crimson Tiger King, Huo Zhu’s expression changed.

He tried to go over and stop them but was blocked by Fiery Demon King. She was confident that she could take the fruits by force from either Qingfeng Li or Crimson Tiger King if the fruits were to fall into their hands.

But, it would be extremely difficult to take them from Chief Huo Zhu since his powers were at the same level as her own.

Huo Zhu was aware of her train of thought, but he couldn’t get rid of her because the she-devil was really powerful.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

With a battle roar, they continued their fight.

Both were afraid that the fiery fruits would be taken by others, so they launched their most powerful strikes against each other.

At the five hundredth attack, Fiery Demon King’s whip pierced Huo Zhu’s heart while the latter’s saber stabbed into the former’s belly.

Boom, boom!!

Both of them flew backward and dropped heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. They were both severely injured and had lost the ability to fight.

Neither of them had expected that they would be injured so severely by each other. The only difference was that Fiery Demon King was all alone with her serious wound, while Chief Huo Zhu had many tribesmen to help him.

“Sister Beauty, I will help you if you promise to be my maid,” with a snicker, Qingfeng Li said to Fiery Demon King, whose wound was bleeding.

He was quite serious with reining in Fiery Demon King, who was both a beauty and a strong fighter.

“In your dreams,” with that said, she ignored Qingfeng Li and began to tend to her wounds.

“Magma tribesmen, go get the fiery fruits now!” Chief Huo Zhu roared his order to the surrounding magma men.

While he was healing the small hole in his heart, Chief Huo Zhu couldn’t move and had to order his people to take the fruits.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

Instantly, groups of magma men flew out from the magma river and dashed toward the fiery fruits.

Although they were not as strong as Qingfeng Li, there were so many of them that they surrounded him with fists, palms, legs, and sabers.

Qingfeng Li had to deal with the attacks from the magma men while he was fighting Crimson Tiger King.

With his tough physique and abundant vital essence, Qingfeng Li fought like a king among the magma men and sent them flying with one fist strike.

The most dangerous threat came from Crimson Tiger King, who was, after all, a master at the mid-stage of the True Spirit Realm.

The moment Qingfeng Li’s right hand touched the fiery fruit, Crimson Tiger King’s strike was upon him, making him furious at the interruption.

To get the fiery fruits, I have to kill Crimson Tiger King, Qingfeng Li thought with murderous intent in his eyes.

Crimson Tiger King had made the same conclusion regarding Qingfeng Li.

“Tiger King Club.” He took out a red spiked club and slammed it viciously towards Qingfeng Li.

With a length of over two meters and covered all over by spikes, the red club was an upper-grade spiritual device made with special material.

With the Tiger King Club, Crimson Tiger King had killed many enemies and the club, notorious as a killing weapon on Red Fiery Island, was in the process of evolving into an earth-grade spiritual device.

Qingfeng Li decided to act quickly and kill Crimson Tiger King with the Volcanic Sword Technique he had just learned.

“Volcanic Tumble.” He turned his wrist and held the sword before his chest before hacking it toward the Tiger King Club in the movement pattern of the Volcanic Sword Technique.

The sharp sword aura extended as long as twenty meters and transformed itself into a giant volcano with magma surging from the opening. It crashed onto the Tiger King Club with tremendous and unrivaled strength.

Kacha!

The Tiger King Club was cut into two pieces by the Red Fiery Sword and dropped onto the ground.

“Ahhh! My Tiger King Club! You jerk, you destroyed my upper-grade spiritual device!” Crimson Tiger King was filled with bitter hatred.

The Tiger King Club was his beloved weapon which he had been trying to upgrade with higher quality materials.

But now, it was irrevocably destroyed by Qingfeng Li, breaking the Crimson Tiger King’s heart.
