Chapter 5806

“You!”

A wolf clan elder with a fiery temper was enraged upon hearing this and wanted to step forward to argue, but was firmly stopped by Lie Tian.

Seeing her master’s resolute attitude, Ling Shuang felt both anxious and ashamed.

She looked at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples behind her, whose eyes had been rekindled with despair, and then at Lie Tian, ​​who was still seriously injured and even paler.

Then, she gritted her teeth and kowtowed three times to Ling Yan, her forehead instantly swelling red.

“Master! It’s all my fault! I acted on my own and broke the rules!” ”

I am willing to accept any punishment, even if it means losing my cultivation and being expelled from the sect, I will have no complaints! I only beg Master… I only beg Master to have mercy and save them!”

“They really have nowhere to go! If they are caught by the Demonic Sect, they will surely die a horrible death! Master! I beg you!”

Ling Shuang cried, knowing that although her master was strict, he had always loved her. Perhaps… perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

Seeing his beloved disciple pleading so humbly, Ling Yan’s anger intensified, but this time it seemed directed more at Lie Tian and the others.

He felt that these outsiders had bewitched his disciple, causing her to disobey her master’s orders and even resort to self-harm to beg for mercy.

“Stubborn fool!”

Ling Yan shouted sharply, without making any move, he simply flicked his sleeve.

“Boom!”

A scorching and violent invisible force erupted, like a volcanic eruption, or a sweeping sword aura, directly striking the kneeling Ling Shuang!

“Pfft—!”

Ling Shuang was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and crashing heavily to the ground several feet away.

After struggling for a few moments, she couldn’t get up, her aura instantly weakening to the extreme, clearly severely injured.

“Senior Sister Shuang!”

“Miss Ling!”

The Sword Sect disciples and Lie Tian and the others exclaimed, wanting to step forward, but were instantly frozen in place by Ling Yan’s icy gaze, as if plunged into an ice cave.

“This is your punishment for disobeying your master’s orders, bringing outsiders without permission, and showing no respect for your elders!”

Ling Yan’s voice was icy. Looking at Ling Shuang, whose mouth was bleeding and whose eyes were filled with pain and despair, his heart ached, but his face remained ashen.

“Now, take these trash and disappear from my sight immediately! If you dare linger, the next blow will be far more severe than just injury!”

Despair, like the heaviest mountain, weighed heavily on the hearts of every remaining member of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Even the last glimmer of hope had been extinguished by the powerful and ruthless Heavenly Fire Sword Master.

Many disciples had lost their light, slumped to the ground, awaiting their final judgment.

Lie Tian clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping from between his fingers.

He looked at the heavily injured Ling Shuang, at his despairing clansmen, a wave of grief and helplessness almost consuming him.

Was the heavens truly going to destroy the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?

Just as all

hope seemed lost—a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the direction of the canyon entrance.

The fluctuation was not an ordinary spiritual energy or spatial fluctuation, but a kind of… fiery, agile rhythm, as if a living flame was leaping and shuttling!　Immediately afterward, to everyone’s astonishment, a figure in cyan robes appeared in the arena, traversing hundreds of feet in an unbelievable manner!

Beneath his feet seemed to tread on invisible staircases of fire; with each step, a crimson-gold lotus-shaped flame bloomed and extinguished in mid-air.

This propelled him forward at a speed far exceeding ordinary escape techniques, yet without creating any wind or spiritual energy surges, appearing incredibly elegant and mysterious.

It was Kai, accompanied by Shi Yan and Ying Wu, who were barely keeping up thanks to his immortal power!

“Fire Control Steps?!”

The Heavenly Fire Sword Master Ling Yan, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, his face cold and stern, suddenly had his pupils contract upon seeing the profound footwork beneath Kai’s feet and the familiar crimson-gold lotus phantom.

For the first time, his face revealed undisguised shock and confusion, and he even cried out in disbelief!

Kai stopped, and the lotus flames beneath his feet dissipated.

He first glanced at the scene—Ling Shuang, heavily injured and lying on the ground, her breath faint;

Lie Tian and the others ,

their faces ashen and filled with despair; and the red-robed swordsman who, despite his imposing aura, was now staring at him with suspicion.

He instantly understood.

It seemed this was Ling Shuang’s master, the Heavenly Fire Sword Master.

Moreover, it appeared some unpleasantness had occurred.

“Senior Chen!”

“Senior!”

Shi Yan, Ying Wu, Lie Tian, ​​and everyone who knew Kai cried out excitedly, as if seeing light in endless darkness.

Kai nodded slightly to Lie Tian and the others, signaling them to calm down.

He first went to Ling Shuang’s side, knelt down, and examined her injuries.

Ling Yan’s attack was clearly not at full strength, but the intense sword intent it contained had invaded Ling Shuang’s meridians, causing considerable internal injury.

Kai frowned slightly, channeling a wisp of pure and gentle chaotic immortal energy to protect her heart meridian, temporarily stabilizing her injuries.

“Senior…”

Ling Shuang’s eyes welled up with tears again when she saw Kai, tears of grievance and guilt welling up. “I’m sorry… I… I couldn’t…”

“It’s alright, don’t speak, just focus on your breathing.”

Kai comforted her, helping her to a rock a little further away to lean against.

After doing this, Kai slowly stood up, his gaze calmly meeting that of Ling Yan, the Heavenly Fire Sword Master who had been staring intently at him.

The shock in Ling Yan’s eyes gradually gave way to scrutiny and deep doubt.

He looked Kai up and down. This young man in blue robes, whose cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm, gave him an extremely strange feeling.

Despite his low cultivation, his demeanor was as steady as a mountain. Facing the pressure of his Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, he showed no fear whatsoever, and… he actually knew the “Fire Control Step”!

“Boy, who are you?”

Ling Yan asked in a deep voice, his tone like the clash of metal. “Why do you know the Fire Control Step? This technique is a secret passed down only by the Fire Spirit Star Lord. There are only a handful of people in the world who know this step! Where did you learn it from?”
