"Senior Brother, what are you doing?" Ji Dong asked doubtfully. After using the Brilliant Sun Awl, his entire body had become slightly fragile. After being hit by the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon, his entire body was in excruciating pain. He had no choice but to take out a Rank 3 Crystal Core to absorb the Demonic Energy.
The Thunder Emperor Fury's expression was calm as he said, "Little Junior Brother, you've gotten into trouble. You shouldn't have killed that fellow. I've checked. Ji Yifeng is already dead. I've been guarding against him killing you, but I didn't expect him to be the one killed instead."
Ji Dong smiled bitterly. "I didn't intend to kill him either. It's just that I couldn't control the power of that blow. Senior Brother, I didn't hold back during the challenge. I'm willing to accept the academy's punishment. You don't have to make things difficult for me."
"Punishment? If you don't leave, you'll be dead. "Fury snapped." Do you know who you killed? Although Ji Yeshang is also a member of the royal family of the Middle Earth Empire, he's from a side branch. If Ji Yeshang was the one who died, with the status of the Heavenly Deity Academy in the mainland, you might not be in too much of a problem. However, if the person who died was the heir of the Middle Earth Empire, it would be a huge problem. Even the headmaster of the Heavenly Deity Academy, Ji Mingxuan, was once the Emperor of the Middle Earth Empire. He's also Ji Yifeng's ancestor and the grandfather of the current Emperor of the Middle Earth Empire. Under such circumstances, how could they let you go? "
Ji Dong had never expected that he would cause such a huge disaster due to his righteous indignation. However, he was still filled with joy and didn't regret it at all. For the sake of the Flaming Bar, he wouldn't even frown if he had to kill the Emperors of the Five Great Empires, let alone a mere heir.
"Senior Brother, I've caused you trouble."
Fury lowered his head to look at Hyōhime in surprise. "Little Junior Brother, I'm really impressed that you can still be so calm in such a situation. It seems like you have many secrets. However, this isn't the time to talk about this. Lei Zhen's target is too obvious. After leaving the city, I'll have to put you down. The further you go, the better. Don't ever come back. Find a chance to return to the Southern Fire Empire."
Ji Dong asked, "Senior Brother, will you be in trouble?"
Fury laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm the Earl of the Five Nations. I'm not the one who killed Ji Yifeng. What can they do to me? Who can prove that I'm the one who took you away? In fact, I've always disliked him, but because of his identity, I didn't do anything to him. Instead, you've helped me deal with him. Junior Brother, if it weren't for the fact that Master's wife isn't in the academy, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take you away. With Master's wife around, at least you'll be treated fairly, but not now. Even Master can't stop them. If there are too many people searching for you, you should temporarily go to the Earth Spirit Mountain Range to find the Vermillion Bird.
The Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon's flying speed was extremely fast. While the two brothers were talking, they had already flown out of the Central Plains City. Indistinctly, Ji Dong could already see several rays of light rapidly approaching from the sky behind them.
Under Fury's command, the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon folded its wings and descended. Fury shouted in a low voice, "Junior Brother, take care of yourself. We brothers will definitely meet again one day. I hope that you'll have become a true expert by then. Jump!"
Just as the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon was about to reach the ground, Fury grabbed Ji Dong's body with one hand and threw him out with a great force. The force carried a bit of traction. After Ji Dong's feet landed on the ground, he did a quick roll to neutralize the momentum. The Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon seemed to have never stopped, drawing a huge arc in the air and once again soaring into the sky. Ji Dong could clearly see that Fury was waving at him.
As the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon didn't stop at all, the lightning on its body became even more obvious. As it changed direction and accelerated, the rays of light chasing after it also changed direction at the same time and chased closely. He could even faintly feel that the various elemental fluctuations in the air were strong to an unimaginable degree.
Ji Dong still clearly remembered that Fury had once told him that he wasn't the only Dragon Demon Master in the Heavenly Stem Academy. Without a doubt, the ones chasing after him should be the other few, and all of them were experts in the world of Demon Masters.
With waves of weakness, Ji Dong felt his eyelids grow heavy, as if his entire body had fallen apart. Even though his body had been soaked in dragon blood, it was still sore and powerless at this moment. Even he himself hadn't expected that the Flaming Monarch's sure-kill technique that he'd comprehended under the influence of the Vermillion Bird Transformation would be so powerful. Even if his opponent didn't take him seriously, he was still the second in the Yin Yang School, an opponent with magic power as high as level 59. Yet, he'd been instantly killed by his charged attack. Even though there were other aspects of the competition where Ji Dong had a lot of advantages, there was no need to doubt the power of the Flaming Monarch's sure-kill technique.
Ji Dong didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt in killing his opponent. Ji Yifeng had destroyed the fine wine he'd brewed for the Flaming Bar. In his heart, his crime was unforgivable.
Thinking back to the moment when the Flaming Bar had appeared at the ball, Ji Dong couldn't help but smile faintly. He could clearly feel the changes that the Flaming Bar had brought to him. But why did she go into closed-door cultivation? Wasn't her strength something that even the Vermillion Bird was afraid of? Compared to his own current situation, Agitation was more worried about the Flaming Bar. The more the Flaming Bar didn't say anything, the more intense the worry in his heart became.
Ji Dong knew that he couldn't stay here for too long. However, how could it be that easy to use the Flame Monarch's ultimate technique? Under normal circumstances, he would have to wait until Ji Dong's cultivation had reached five Champions before he could use the two Sovereign's ultimate techniques. However, after he had used the Vermillion Bird Transformation to fuse with the Vermillion Bird's inner armor, in addition to the two Level Four Crystal Cores and the intense killing intent in his body, he had actually comprehended the Flame Monarch's ultimate technique — — Forbidden, Hundred, Thousand, Brilliant Sun Cone Nail. Not to mention Ji Dong himself, even the Flaming Bar, who had taught him how to use the Vermillion Bird Transformation, had not expected it. The Flaming Bar's original thought was that Ji Dong could use the Vermillion Bird's inner armor to unleash an even stronger attack, in addition to the two Sovereigns' Ultimate Fire and Ji Dong's Dual Element Combination Technique, which would cause his opponent to suffer a heavy blow. However, who would have thought that what Ji Dong had comprehended would actually reach the level of a ultimate technique? This caused a dramatic change in the situation. The two Sovereigns' ultimate techniques could not be compared to the ultimate techniques that could be used after three Champions in normal mode.
Back then, when Ji Dong had encountered the Fire Demon Master in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range, it was because of the aura of the opponent's ultimate technique that Ji Dong's two Sovereigns' wills had erupted, causing the illusion of the Dark Flame Devil King to appear and break the opponent's ultimate technique in an instant. This was because Ji Dong's cultivation was not high enough. If his abilities were a little stronger, he could even reach the point where he was immune to all fire elements.
Hence, after using the Flame Monarch's ultimate technique, Ji Dong's magic had been completely overdrawn. If not for the protection of the Vermillion Bird's inner armor and the fact that his body had been soaked in dragon blood, he might have directly fainted from overdrawing his energy at the ball.
Now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, the condition of his body simply didn't allow him to leave. Even Fury didn't know that Ji Dong had already overdrawn to such an extent.
Clenching his teeth, Ji Dong turned over and climbed up. It was dark all around him. The place where Fury had put him down was in the bushes next to the forest. His tattered clothes had been torn into strips by the bushes, but it didn't harm his skin at all. The Fire Mythical Beast Vermillion Bird had relied on its phoenix feathers to stain several kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to pierce his skin. The so-called Vermillion Bird's inner armor was actually a part of his skin, or it could be said that the skin contained energy. Its great effect would gradually appear along with the gradual increase of Ji Dong's strength. If not for this Vermillion Bird's inner armor being extremely marvelous, how could the Flaming Bar return the favor by letting Ji Dong send the Vermillion Bird one of her life source Red Lotus seeds?
"Pa … …" The rank 3 fire element core in his hand turned into powder again. Absorbing the mana that should have filled a 3 crown fire magus, Ji Dong only felt a little better, that's all. His Ultimate Dual Flames were different from ordinary flames. After purifying and filtering ordinary flames, only a small portion of the Ultimate Dual Flames would be left. Let alone a Tier 3 Crystal Core, even two Tier 4 Crystal Cores would barely be enough to replenish his Mana to the brim.
Ji Dong knew very well that he couldn't stay here. The one he killed was the heir to the throne of the Central Empire. If he was caught, paying with his life would be the lightest punishment. If he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, he had to first recover his mana and stamina. Quickly entering the forest, he walked as deep as he could, and stopped in an especially dense forest.
The feeling of dizziness was even stronger than before. Ji Dong sat cross-legged in the bushes, each hand holding a fourth grade fire essence crystal. Fortunately, he had gained quite a lot in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range, and now was the time to put it to good use. He couldn't afford to be extravagant, he had to recover as soon as possible.
Immersing his will into mana, Ji Dong called out to the fire element in the outside world. At the same time, he began to quickly absorb the mana in the two fourth grade essence crystals, trying his best to increase the speed of his cultivation recovery.
…
Central Plains City, Imperial Palace.
"Pa …" The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, smashing into powder.
The body of the elder in the golden robe swayed, and his expression immediately became extremely ugly. This elder's golden robe was very exquisite. On his chest was a three-eyed whale shaped 6 earth element totem, Tianyi, and on his back was a 5 earth element totem, a large silver bird in the sky. Wearing the seven treasures purple gold crown, he was the current emperor of the Central Empire, Ji Yunlu.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. In the Yin-Yang Hall, aside from the Thunder Emperor Fury, who else can surpass my grandson Yifeng? Even if Fury made a move, he wouldn't be able to kill him in one hit. The 5 earth element is the most proficient in defense. I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it. " Ji Yunlu usually gave others the feeling that he was steady and gentle. But at this moment, the mind of this Emperor of the largest Empire in the Radiant Five Element Continent was in complete chaos. Because his only direct bloodline successor had actually died just like that. Moreover, not even a corpse was left behind and had already been transformed into ashes. How could he accept this?
"Your Majesty, please restrain your grief. The dead cannot come back to life. The most important thing right now is to figure out the truth and capture the murderer to avenge the crown prince. However, this matter concerns the Heavenly Stem Academy's Yin-Yang Hall, Your Majesty must be careful when handling this matter." There was only a middle-aged man in his fifties in a golden robe standing in the chamber. Gold was the most noble symbol in the Central Empire, and usually only members of the royal family could wear it.
Ji Yunlu's face was a little pale, and a hint of savagery flashed in his eyes. He said, "Li Ming, go and investigate this matter. No matter what methods you use, you must capture the murderer. I'll personally go to the Heavenly Stem Academy right now and ask my grandfather to uphold justice for Yifeng."
"Yes, Your Majesty." When the middle-aged man called Li Ming replied, his figure had already disappeared. He was so fast that he was like a golden ray of light.
It was not just the Central Empire's palace that was in chaos. The entire Heavenly Stem Academy was in chaos as well. It had been many years since something like this had happened. If an ordinary student had died in a spar, it would not be a big deal to the Heavenly Stem Academy. However, the one who died this time was indeed the second-in-command of the Yin-Yang Hall. He was the crown prince of the Central Empire, the next emperor, and the only direct great-great-grandson of Ji Mingxuan, the dean of the Heavenly Stem Academy.
Ji Mingxuan stood in front of a pile of ashes, holding an earthen yellow rank 5 Crystal Core in her hand. Her expression was dark and uncertain. No one dared to approach her, because everyone could feel that this Lord Dean could explode at any moment.
Not long after, five different colored figures arrived in the distance. The one flying at the front was the Thunder Emperor, Fury, and his Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon.
Only when they returned did Ji Mingxuan slowly raise his head, the light in his eyes flickering.
With a deep dragon roar, the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon was the first to land. The Class 8 dragon was not caught by the people behind it in the end.
Two of the four streaks of light that landed after it were also Class 8 dragons, except their elemental affinity was different from the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon. There were also two large birds of different shapes, Class 7 Magical Beasts. On the backs of the four powerful magical beasts sat a board member of the Heavenly Stem Academy. In the entire Heavenly Stem Academy, only the magical beast companions of the four board members could fly. One of them was Zhurong with a Class 8 fire dragon.
"Brat, why are you running? Where's Ji Dong? What's going on? "Zhurong leapt off the fire dragon's back and immediately appeared before Fury in a flash. He asked furiously.
