Peerless War God

On the throne, the Divine Emperor muttered to himself in surprise. He had not expected such a result. His expression turned strange.    

Li Xuan’s death would be a great blow to Li Zhan, and it would greatly weaken his prestige. It was definitely a good thing for the Divine Dynasty.    

However, he could only hide these words in his heart. He could not say it out loud.    

The Divine Emperor paused and asked with concern, “Li Zhan, what happened?”    

In his heart, he was gloating. The two of them had never been on good terms. Now that Li Xuan was dead, Li Zhan would have no one to take his place. It would be a great blessing.    

The others in the underground hall also looked at Li Zhan, wanting to figure out what had happened.    

Li Zhan’s expression was extremely gloomy. He was like a pool of stagnant water. A soul slip appeared in his hand, but it was broken.    

“Li Xuan’s soul slip is broken. Who killed my son? I will tear his body to pieces and kill his entire family.”    

His words shocked everyone.    

“The soul slip is broken. He must have died.”    

“Tsk, I didn’t expect that even a genius like Li Xuan, protected by Dark Gan, would die in the mystic realm. What a pity.”    

“What a pity? Li Xuan’s death is a great blow to Li Zhan. With that, he won’t have the time to cause trouble and covet the throne of the Divine Emperor.”    

"Shh, don't talk too much. If Li Zhan hears you, you will be finished."    

The crowd was in a heated discussion. Some of them were watching coldly, while others were mocking and ridiculing. It could be seen that Li Zhan's popularity was not very good.    

At this time, Li Zhan suddenly glared at Tang Yan and the others and questioned, "You guys left the secret realm first, do you know who killed my son? If you know the real culprit, I will be very grateful."    

Hearing that, Tang Yan laughed and said, "Your strength is unparalleled, and your cultivation is very high. I see that today, it is true. It's a pity that I can't accept this great favor."    

Li Jue Chen also shook his head and said, "I don't know."    

In his mind, he quickly recalled the scene in the secret realm. Before he left, he did see Chen Xiao and the others standing on the top of the hill.    

Could it be that Li Xuan's death was related to Chen Xiao and the Third Prince?    

If that was the case, then it would be interesting.    

However, this was only a guess. It was not good for him to say it directly. If he said it wrong, he would offend Li Zhan and Chen Xiao at the same time. It was not worth it. He might as well say that he didn't know, which was also a safe way.    

Seeing that, Li Zhan looked at Yi Tian Ren and asked, "Yi Tian Ren, do you know?"    

Yi Tian Ren smiled sinisterly, glanced at Tang Yan and Li Jue Chen, and said with a ridiculing expression, "Although I don't know who killed Li Xuan, I saw Chen Xiao and the Third Prince standing on a hill before leaving the secret realm. They seemed to be waiting for something. It's hard to say whether Li Xuan's death is related to them."    

Hearing this, Li Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Xiao, Third Prince, it's you guys. I will skin you all and avenge my son."    

In fact, it was not hard to guess. After all, there were only a few people who entered the secret realm to search for opportunities.    

If one excluded those who died in the secret realm, the ones who were still alive were undoubtedly the most suspicious. In this way, Chen Xiao and the Third Prince were the most suspicious.    

Hearing this, the Divine Emperor on the throne frowned, "So that's how it is?"    

Then, he waved his hand secretly and the cultivators of the Divine Dynasty scattered around, ready to fight in case of any unexpected events.    

At this moment, with a weng sound, the array formation flashed, and someone walked out from it. It was Chen Xiao and the Third Prince, along with four hellhounds. A terrifying aura spread throughout the entire area.    

The powerful aura of an immortal-level caused everyone present to tremble in fear, not daring to act rashly.    

"This is..."    

"What a terrifying aura. What kind of demon beast is this?"    

"It seems to be the legendary hellhound. How is this possible? There are actually four hellhounds. It's unbelievable. What kind of fortuitous encounter did Chen Xiao and the Third Prince obtain in the secret realm?"    

The people around them were shocked. They stared at Chen Xiao and the others with wide eyes, revealing a look of shock.    

Even Yi Tianren's face darkened, "Hellhound? This..."    

"Good boy, you hid it well. Such strength is truly powerful. You must not be his enemy." Li Jue Chen thought.    

Tang Yan's eyes bulged out of their sockets. "What kind of luck did this brat have to be able to subdue four hellhounds? How did he do it?"    

Even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure it out. He felt puzzled and at the same time, he was glad that he didn't offend the other party in the secret realm.    

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.    

Just as everyone was guessing and not daring to act rashly, Li Zhan charged over recklessly. His eyes were bloodshot with anger.    

"Chen Xiao, you killed my son. I want you to pay with your life. Die."    

The blood-red flames surged from Li Zhan's body, flowing endlessly like flowing magma. He turned into a magma giant that was hundreds of feet tall. He clenched his fists and smashed them towards Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold. "Fire? Hmph."    

The Green Blaze Ghost Flame surged out and was held in his palm. It formed a black flame shield in front of him.    

"Bam!"    

With a loud sound, the ghost flame trembled unceasingly. Cracks appeared, but it did not collapse. It actually blocked Li Zhan's furious attack.    

The sudden change caused everyone present to be shocked.    

"Li Zhan is really bold. He actually dares to attack here. This is the Divine Imperial Palace."    

"Li Zhan's son died. His anger attacked his heart and he couldn't hold it in for a moment. It's reasonable. However, Chen Xiao's strength is so shocking that it's even more powerful than the rumors. He even blocked Li Zhan's furious attack. He is truly extraordinary."    

Black flames? It feels eerie. What kind of cultivation technique is this? It's too powerful. It can actually block Li Zhan's attack so easily. "    

When everyone saw this, they were all incomparably shocked.    

Sweat appeared on Chen Xiao's forehead. He used all his strength to face the enemy with the ghost flames. Only then did he block the other party's attack.    

Moreover, because he had obtained the inheritance of strength and fire left behind by the God Race in his secret realm, he was able to fuse them together and master them. Only then was he able to unleash such a powerful combat strength.    

Now, he had already used all his strength to block Li Zhan's furious attack.    

On the other hand, Li Zhan still seemed to have some strength left.    

"Is this ghost flame?"    

When Li Zhan saw this, he felt great hatred in his heart. This ghost flame was a great divine ability that he could not ask for. He never thought that Chen Xiao, who had only entered the secret realm once, would obtain such a great opportunity.    

If he did not kill this brat, he would definitely become a great threat in the future. After all, he had to get rid of the root of the problem as soon as possible.    

After this thought surged in his heart, it became unstoppable. His killing intent rose greatly.    

Li Zhan attacked decisively. The moment he attacked, it was a killing move.    

"Burning Flame Absolute Heaven, World Annihilation Fist."    

In an instant, the temperature of the entire ground increased by more than ten times. The air was roasted dry, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi was completely sucked out, turning into fuel.
