Gao Zhengyang's words were too tyrannical, causing an uproar in the surroundings.
The experts from the Fire Nation all had looks of rage on their faces. Some of the more hot-tempered ones even started cursing.
Huo Tianlie's entire body was engulfed in flames, and his entire body was completely submerged in the blazing flames. However, Huo Tianlie, who was in the midst of the flames, had an extremely calm expression on his face.
His temper was violent, but he wasn't a brainless person. In truth, being violent was just his style of doing things. Only when needed would he be violent. When facing a powerful enemy, he wouldn't rush over recklessly.
However, Gao Zhengyang's open challenge and his words were fierce and sharp, not giving him any leeway.
Even if Huo Tianlie wanted to retreat now, he didn't have many paths of retreat. Right now, he only hoped that Yue Changkong would step out and calm the situation down. However, Yue Changkong was frowning in contemplation, he had no intentions of speaking up for him.
Huo Tianlie was extremely enraged. This treacherous person had spoken very well earlier, patting his chest and saying that he would stop Gao Zhengyang, not allowing him to ruin things. At the crucial moment, he couldn't be counted on at all.
Feng Xing, who was at the side, also had the same expression. Seems like he was also frightened by Gao Zhengyang and didn't dare to show himself.
As for the experts from the other countries, all of them had looks of terror on their faces. There were even a few who were neither yin nor yang, as though they were watching a joke.
Huo Tianlie's gaze paused on Princess Yuzhen. It was said that Princess Yuzhen's relationship with Gao Zhengyang wasn't shallow. Sadly, Princess Yuzhen's expression was calm, as though she didn't care about the current situation.
"A bunch of bastards!" Huo Tianlie was both enraged and angered. As expected, others were all unreliable. He wanted nothing more than to draw his blade and kill all these fellows first before saying anything else.
But no matter how angry he was, Huo Tianlie didn't have the time to bother about it. Right now, the most important thing was to deal with Gao Zhengyang. Honestly speaking, it wasn't that he was afraid of Gao Zhengyang. With the Vermilion Bird Saber in his hand, even if he couldn't defeat Gao Zhengyang, it wouldn't be a problem for him to last for ten moves.
The problem was that Gao Zhengyang was so eager to fight that Huo Tianlie couldn't guess his thoughts. He didn't want to fight with Gao Zhengyang head-on.
Huo Tianlie pondered for a moment before raising his voice and saying, "Gao Zhengyang, you killed more than ten of my country's experts, my children, and my country's preceptor, yet I didn't say anything. But on account of the Cycle of Epochs, the invasion of the Demon World, and the fact that you are a human expert, for the sake of the overall situation of the human race, I can temporarily remember this debt. Yet, you are so overbearing and want to kill me. What are your intentions? "
As the emperor, Huo Tianlie's words were exceptionally sharp. He deliberately pointed out that his children and the Imperial Preceptor had been killed by Gao Zhengyang and that he was trying to compromise for the sake of the overall situation. However, Gao Zhengyang continued to press him. There must be some ulterior motive here.
Huo Tianlie had deliberately been vague about the crucial reason, making it hard for others to think about it. This was also his greatest strength. I don't say it, but I can lead others to think it.
The 100,000 spectators in the Divine Martial Arena once again let out an uncontrollable uproar.
Gao Zhengyang's meteoric rise was simply too many. Most people didn't know about the various conflicts between him and the Fire Nation.
Only after Huo Tianlie's words did many people understand that the root of the conflict was Gao Zhengyang killing Huo Tianlie's children and the Fire Nation's Imperial Preceptor. After doing all these things, he still insisted on killing Huo Tianlie. This inevitably made people feel that Gao Zhengyang's actions were too tyrannical and intolerable.
"What's right and what's wrong is decided by the public. In the past, I was just an ordinary Buddhist disciple. When I had nothing better to do, I ran over to your Huo Family and committed arson. That's not funny at all."
Gao Zhengyang wasn't interested in explaining. He casually said a few words of mockery, "Huo Tianlie, you are also the sovereign of a country. Only the aunties on the side of the street would flaunt their sharp tongues. If you don't dare accept my challenge, then kneel and kowtow to beg for mercy. Swear a bloodline oath to your ancestors that you will no longer associate with the demon race or oppose me. Then, I will let you go! "
At the mention of the demon race, Huo Tianlie's heart trembled. He naturally had some secret dealings with the demon race. That was to prevent the human race from collapsing. He had made some preparations in advance.
Of course, he couldn't avoid selling some information about the other six countries. He sold information about the Daoist and Buddhist sects. Huo Tianlie had also communicated with the demon race about some of Gao Zhengyang's secrets.
Huo Tianlie believed that the other six countries had done the same thing. In the end, they all wanted to leave a way out for themselves. The imperial families of the seven countries had enjoyed ten thousand years of glory and splendor. They had long lost the courage to fight to the death. No one cared about the life and death of those at the bottom. As long as they lived well, that was enough.
If the demon race was strong enough, then it wasn't a big deal to be their lackey!
However, this kind of thinking couldn't be told to outsiders. Gao Zhengyang's words exposed the crux of the matter. He even said that he had to swear a bloodline oath. Of course, Huo Tianlie felt guilty.
"Gao Zhengyang, you're making irresponsible remarks. You've gone too far. Let me see what kind of secret art you have that allows you to boast that you can defeat us in ten moves! "
Huo Tianlie pretended to be angry. He didn't want to linger on this topic. He turned into a raging flame and entered the Divine Martial Arena.
Before he started, he deliberately pointed out that Gao Zhengyang had agreed to ten moves to remind Gao Zhengyang not to break his promise.
"You're strong in appearance but weak in heart. Huo Tianlie, you will definitely die in this battle."
Gao Zhengyang shook his head and sighed. Huo Tianlie was a dignified emperor, but he still haggled over the agreement. In fact, he had already lost the courage to fight to the death.
The battle hadn't even started and Huo Tianlie had already lost.
Huo Tianlie knew that he had lost in terms of momentum. However, with the Vermillion Bird Saber in hand, he wouldn't lose to Gao Zhengyang.
He loudly sneered, "Arrogant brat, watch my saber …"
Although he said he would watch his saber, Huo Tianlie didn't draw it. Instead, he stretched out his palm and pressed it towards Gao Zhengyang.
Endless blazing flames erupted like a volcano, turning the entire arena into a sea of fire.
Huo Tianlie's attack wasn't aimed at Gao Zhengyang. Instead, he activated the Vermillion Bird Saber's flame domain and covered the entire arena. He knew that his martial arts were inferior to Gao Zhengyang's, so he simply relied on the might of his divine artifact to suppress him.
The temperature on the Divine Martial Arena suddenly rose a thousand times. It was as if the world had turned into a giant furnace. Blazing flames gushed out from all directions. Everything in existence couldn't avoid the test of fire.
Even with Gao Zhengyang's Vajra Unbreakable Body, he felt his mouth go dry and his body burn with pain. The outermost layer of the Dragon Emperor Armor even began to liquefy and soften.
The runes hidden within the Dragon Emperor Armor melted into green smoke in the pure and violent flames.
Gao Zhengyang was also shocked. The Fire Nation's divine artifact was indeed powerful. In terms of pure destructive power, it far surpassed Yun Jiutian's.
"Die!"
Gao Zhengyang shouted. He used the Origin Dragon Fusion to activate the Dragon Emperor Halberd and stabbed it at Huo Tianlie.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd could break all techniques in the world. The combination of water, fire, earth, and wind energy could ignore the Vermillion Bird Saber's blazing flames.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd pointed at a path in the sea of fire. At the other end of the path stood the red-haired, red-armored Huo Tianlie.
Huo Tianlie didn't dodge. He slashed with his palm and slashed at the Dragon Emperor Halberd's blade.
The sharp blade of the Dragon Emperor Halberd was immediately coated in a layer of flames. It even softened and bent.
Gao Zhengyang's right hand, which was holding the Dragon Emperor Halberd, was also soaked in flames. Even the Heavenly Lion Claw had changed color. His palm was black, and his flesh was scorched.
The blazing flames flowed down his arm and into Gao Zhengyang's Divine Palace.
The Divine Palace, which was as vast as the sea, was instantly set ablaze.
Gao Zhengyang's Dragon Emperor Martial Soul was coated in a layer of blood-colored flames.
