Chapter Fifteen: Remnant Soul
Realizing what was happening, Su Yang instantly caught up with the two who were fleeing for their lives.
Sensing something was wrong with Su Yang, Su Chen asked sternly, "What, do you want to back out?"
With a cold snort, Su Yang did not answer, and threw the stone in his hand with all his might.
The bluish-gray stone, imbued with immense power, shot directly at Su Chen and his companion like a bluish-gray beam of light.
If it were a solid blow, it would be enough to pierce through Su Chen and Xu Wan.
Unfortunately, Su Chen slipped and fell to the ground, along with Xu Wan.
Although he was in a sorry state, he managed to dodge Su Yang's killing move, and he couldn't help but watch Su Yang's brows furrow.
"Your mom, will you ever stop?!"
Seeing the two rolling around, Su Yang was so angry that his heart trembled.
He kept working, determined not to give Su Chen a chance to catch his breath.
One after another, the bluish-gray stones were fired like cannonballs.
The powerful true energy covers it; anyone who touches it will die, and anyone who gets hurt will be injured.
But as if by divine intervention, Su Chen always managed to dodge everything with the slightest movement while rolling on the ground.
This result almost made Su Yang want to vomit blood!
When his patience ran out, Su Yang instantly appeared beside Su Chen.
He grabbed her hair and, with his powerful arm strength, lifted her into the air.
"You broke your promise!"
Su Chen's body hovered, kicking and thrashing his legs as he punched Su Yang, only to be blocked by the protective barrier of true energy around him.
Without arguing with his cousin about the matter, Su Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his powerful true energy gathered in his right fist, making it resemble a small sun.
Without the slightest hesitation, a fist carrying powerful true energy struck Su Chen's chest in shock.
Su Yang, however, planned to directly expose Su Chen's body.
"don't want!"
This scene startled Xu Wan, who cried out in a panicked voice.
Su Yang seemed not to hear, his fist undiminished, even becoming three times more powerful.
He was determined to kill Su Chen in the forest with a single punch, not giving him any chance to change his destiny!
But when Su Yang's strongest punch was about to strike Su Chen's chest, it did not shatter Su Chen's chest as he had expected.
A flash of red light appeared on the latter's chest, and at the same time, endless flames emanated from his chest.
Su Yang's most powerful punch was completely incinerated by the sudden change and the endless flames. Even the skin of his fist turned into charred black charcoal.
His mind was shaken, and Su Yang's spiritual senses pounded. Although he didn't understand what was happening, the burning pain coming from his fist told him that it was definitely not simple.
He hurled Su Chen away in an instant, while simultaneously retreating rapidly.
Even though a judgment was made immediately, it was still a step too late.
A powerful burst of flame erupted from Su Chen's chest!
Then it attacked Su Yang, engulfing him in a sea of fire.
The scorching heat turned Su Yang's clothes a burnt brown. His true energy instantly covered his entire body, preventing him from being directly incinerated by this strange flame.
Opening his eyes, Su Yang felt an unbearable burning sensation. If it weren't for his internal energy shielding him from the intense heat, his eyes would likely have been damaged by now.
He vaguely looked in Su Chen's direction.
The endless flames emanated from his embrace, but unlike him, Su Chen was completely unharmed!
As if by luck, Su Chen's clothes on his chest were burned away, and two jade boxes appeared on his chest.
One of the jade boxes had a tiny crack on its surface, from which endless flames were spewing out.
But if that were all, Su Chen could never be in better shape than Su Yang.
However, on that jade box, a phantom spirit appeared simultaneously with the endless flames.
The spirit body emitted a fiery red light that enveloped Su Chen, preventing the flames from harming him in the slightest.
That's why Su Chen was able to remain unharmed even when he was so close to the source of the flames.
"Who are you?"
Su Yang's voice was hoarse. He was feeling suffocated by liver qi stagnation, and the scorching heat was repeatedly burning him. He felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger!
Su Chen, you're cheating again!
Not only Su Yang was puzzled, but Su Chen also stared at the illusory spirit floating in mid-air with the same confusion. He did not expect that there would still be such a spirit remaining in the jade box in his arms.
A phantom figure, with a forlorn expression, gazed at the sea of fire, its voice aged and weary: "Which of you two is a disciple of the Falling Cloud Sword Sect?"
The illusory figure seemed to be reminiscing, softly asking Su Yang and Su Chen.
Su Yang reacted quickly, a flash of inspiration striking his mind. He hurriedly knelt down and said to the illusory figure, "Disciple Xia Chen! I am indeed a disciple of the Luoxia Sword Sect, but I was unaware that the senior elders were still alive!"
"Elder, that rat-eyed man is the thief who stole your inheritance! I beg you, Elder, to bring him to justice!"
Su Yang was emotionally agitated, and his expression was so genuine that it seemed unreal, which made the illusory figure believe him to some extent.
Seeing the illusory figure's attention drawn to Su Yang, Su Chen knew he was in trouble and quickly said, "Senior, don't believe that villain's lies! Although I am not a disciple of the Luoxia Sword Sect, my fiancée is the closed-door disciple of Sect Master Xia Lian of the Sword Sect! That scoundrel is the one who stole your inheritance. I hope Senior will investigate!"
The illusory figure was none other than the remnant soul of Fire Spirit King Xia Qianqiu. Upon seeing Su Yang and Su Chen, one claimed to be a disciple of the Luoxia Sword Sect, and the other to be the fiancé of a disciple of the Luoxia Sword Sect.
Xia Qianqiu was even more perplexed.
He was already dead, his wisdom was clouded, his thoughts were rigid, he couldn't understand many things, so how could he judge the truth or falsehood of people's words?
Moreover, he left this wisp of remnant spirit and the earth's flames together in a jade box, just to help the future descendants of the Falling Cloud Sword Sect successfully subdue this spiritual fire.
As for discerning who is lying, that would be somewhat of a stretch for him in his current state.
As time went on, Su Yang and Su Chen also realized that this remnant soul didn't seem to be very intelligent.
So they started chattering away in front of Xia Qianqiu, one after another, until Xia Qianqiu's remnant soul was disturbed and she almost lost her soul.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Xia Qianqiu gave the two of them a complicated look, then the flames on his body dissipated, and he and the sea of fire returned to the jade box. He did not intend to care about the two outsiders anymore, or who was the true master of the Luoxia Sword Sect!
As the sea of fire dissipated, a chilling aura rushed into his lungs. Su Yang was overjoyed, but then his gaze toward Su Chen turned extremely hostile.
Although the remnant soul of Fire Spirit King Xia Qianqiu interrupted the conversation, fortunately, it didn't cause any major trouble.
He got up and walked towards Su Chen, leaving footprints on the ground with each step.
"Kid, it's just the two of us again. Today I'll show you what cruelty really is!"
The figure walked towards Su Chen with an extremely sinister air, frightening the latter so much that he shrank back, supporting himself on his body.
"Don't come any closer!"
Su Chen didn't expect Xia Qianqiu to be so irresponsible, completely ignoring everything.
As Su Yang slowly walked towards him, Su Chen felt despair.
He thought to himself, "Today I may really lose my life here!"
