"So this is a treasure trove."
Not even Swordtwo could have guessed that the Hellfire Crucible, the harshest of environments, would contain such a treasure. Most likely, the previous battles and the commotion caused by Du Feng's breakthrough had shaken the cauldron out.
"Tsk tsk tsk …. Brother Du, you've struck gold."
Because Du Feng had discovered the cauldron first and called Kenji over, Kenji had no intention of stealing it from him.
"Let's get rich together!"
Du Feng wasn't a petty person. There was no way he'd let Kenji suffer a loss. He planned to call Kenji over to take a look at the depths of the Hellfire Crucible.
"Alright. You'll have to lead the way then."
Kenji was naturally willing to explore the depths of the Hellfire Crucible, because there were even more treasures there. However, the deeper they went, the higher the temperature would rise. He might not be able to handle it.
"We're brothers. It doesn't matter if you lead the way or not."
Although that was what Du Feng said, he'd already flown to the front. He'd just broken through to the great circle of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, and his resistance to high temperatures had increased. He took on the responsibility of leading the way. Kenji was ready to follow Du Feng and get rich together.
"Roar …."
Just at that moment, Xiao Hei let out an angry roar. Something was wrong.
Crap! Du Feng was confident that Xiao Hei would win. He hadn't expected anything unexpected to happen. When he heard the roar, he couldn't care less about getting rich anymore. Using his fastest movement technique, he teleported to Xiao Hei's side. When he looked closely, he realized that the situation was worse than he'd imagined.
A middle-aged man had appeared in the Hellfire Crucible at some point, and was currently clutching Little Violet by the neck. At this moment, Little Purple had already returned to the state of a normal human, but it was already on the verge of death from being strangled by this man.
Du Feng secretly communicated with Xiao Hei using his Spiritual Consciousness and immediately understood what was going on. Xiao Hei controlled his strength and did not hesitate to waste time to defeat the Purple Qilin. The rational side of the Purple Qilin prevailed, and it finally returned to its human form.
Unexpectedly, a bracelet on her wrist suddenly emitted a blinding light, and then a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air. Without saying a word, he grabbed Little Zi's neck, trying to strangle her to death. This method was even crueler than stabbing him to death.
This was because cultivators would not die from a lack of oxygen. The middle-aged man pinched so hard that Little Zi couldn't breathe. More importantly, it would block her blood flow and the circulation of her true essence. Without blood supply to the brain, people would start hallucinating and their consciousness would become weak. Wouldn't it be better to just cut off his head and let his soul escape to find a new opportunity to reconstruct his physical body?
"You must be Xiao Hong and Xiao Yuan's father. So you were pretending to be sick."
Du Feng looked at the man's Cultivation Martial Artist. He was at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, and a very experienced one at that. It seemed that the rumors of Xiao Hong's father being heavily injured and in seclusion were false. He had probably hidden in Little Zi's bracelet and entered the Zone of Chaos for the Hellfire Crucible.
If the ancient bronze cauldron hadn't appeared, Du Feng would have suspected something else. Now that such a high-level thing had appeared, it meant that this place was an important treasure trove in the Zone of Chaos. For an ancient family to expend so much effort, to the point of sacrificing a pair of sons and daughters just to obtain it, it must definitely be something that was priceless.
"Young man, it's not good to know too much. You'll die early."
Xiao Jingshan was really a ruthless person. He had hidden in the bracelet and watched Xiao Yuan get injured, but he hadn't done anything. Later, he had watched Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong get killed by Little Zi, but he hadn't come out to save them. Right now, he was strangling Little Zi's neck. Perhaps he was venting his emotions.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … Du Feng seemed to understand something else. This Xiao Jingshan didn't get along with the other members of the Xiao Family. Little Zi had probably been ordered by the Xiao Family's elders to enter the Zone of Chaos to search for treasures. Now, she had pretended to be weak and weak to deceive Du Feng and Kenji, then killed her cousins. This was probably also arranged by the Xiao Family's elders.
As Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong's father, Xiao Jingshan definitely didn't agree with this plan, but he couldn't stop it. He only showed himself when the brat removed his beast form and the ancient bronze cauldron appeared from the Hellfire Crucible.
"Don't brag too early. It's not certain who will die yet."
Ever since Du Feng had been reborn, he had always killed enemies above his cultivation level. He had never lost to anyone of the same cultivation level. Now that he had broken through to the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, how could he be afraid of Xiao Jingshan, who was also at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm? Even if Xiao Jingshan was an experienced peak Ultimate Emperor Realm martial artist who had cultivated for countless years, so what?
As long as he didn't reach the Sky Tier Cultivation Realm, Du Feng didn't care about him. Glancing at Xiao Jingshan, Du Feng waved his hand and recalled the furious Xiao Hei. Although Xiao Hei's strength was outstanding, he had only just broken through to level 11. He wouldn't have any problems fighting a newly advanced peak Ultimate Emperor Realm martial artist like Little Zi, but against a veteran like Xiao Jingshan, he might be tricked.
"Brother Du, it's not convenient for me to interfere in the Xiao Family's matters. Be careful."
Kenji was a very direct person. Although he was very strong, it was indeed not convenient for him to interfere in this matter. This was because the Xiao Family's Sky Tier elder was acquainted with Kenji's master, the Sword Emperor. This matter involved the Xiao Family's internal strife. A free martial artist like Du Feng could interfere as he pleased, but a person of status like Kenji couldn't interfere.
He needed to wait until he got back and talked to the Xiao Family's elder before he could decide how to deal with Xiao Jingshan. If he acted now, he might ruin their relationship.
"Wait a moment. I'll take you to treasure hunt in a moment."
Du Feng's words were quite arrogant. It would be fine for Kenji to wait a moment. What he meant was that he wouldn't need too much time to defeat Xiao Jingshan. Furthermore, he purposely brought up the matter of treasure hunt just for Xiao Jingshan to hear.
Don't think that only your Xiao Family and those black-skinned martial artists know that there are treasures in the Hellfire Furnace. I, Du Feng, also know, and I even shared it with Kenji.
"You're courting death!"
Xiao Jingshan was enraged as expected. With a crack, he broke Little Zi's neck, grabbed her, and threw her at Du Feng. Little Zi was also his niece, but this person really didn't show any mercy when he attacked.
When a martial artist was in an absolute state, they were most afraid of being disturbed. Du Feng couldn't divert his strength to catch Little Zi, or else he would suffer Xiao Jingshan's fierce attacks. This was also one of Xiao Jingshan's strategies. He wanted to see if Du Feng would save her or take a beating.
"I'll leave it to you!"
