Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1284 1195: Yunmeng County

At first, when Wang Yan said to the Ninth Route General, "Are you afraid?", the Ninth Route General chuckled as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

But hearing this sentence now, the Ninth Route General felt a chill rise up his spine, making all the hairs on his body stand on end.

Looking at the crowd around him staring in his direction, the Ninth Route General secretly took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, actually, you know yourself, just now my first punch was just posturing, only to give you a chance to live. If you voluntarily concede, I can let you leave alive."

While speaking these words, the Ninth Route General regained his arrogant, self-important demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the crowd around nodded in agreement.

After all, the seemingly world-shattering punch just now hadn't harmed Wang Yan at all, the only explanation being that the Ninth Route General had held back.

Consequently, everyone turned to look at Wang Yan.

With such a chance to survive, coupled with witnessing the Ninth Route General's fist power just now, anyone might choose to surrender and leave.

However, Wang Yan's expression remained unchanged, he simply replied coldly, "Are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this sentence twice, the Ninth Route General felt as if he'd been slapped, his face turning crimson, unable to maintain his composure.

In the moment, the Ninth Route General squinted his eyes and said, "Alright, in that case, watch my second move, don't regret it."

Along with these words, the Ninth Route General flipped his right hand, revealing an ancient bronze Magical Treasure, with copper rods intersecting, totalling sixty-four, forming an octagonal shape.

Seeing this, everyone around was startled, retreating tens of steps before stopping.

"Profound Fire Mirror!"

Someone immediately shouted loudly.

"Legend has it the Profound Fire Mirror is an Innate Level 1 Magical Treasure, skilled at spewing flames, burning anything."

"Indeed, it's said the Ninth Route General hasn't used this Profound Fire Mirror in a long time, bringing it out today surely means that young man in white robes will be burned into ashes."

...

Amid the crowd's discussions, they saw the Ninth Route General's hand raise, the Profound Fire Mirror flying upwards, hovering above Wang Yan's head.

As it ascended, the Profound Fire Mirror kept enlarging, becoming the size of a house, overshadowing Wang Yan's head.

Yet Wang Yan still stood there, looking indifferently upward at the Magical Treasure above him, motionless.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing quickly shouted anxiously: "Run quickly, if you are caught by the Profound Fire Mirror, you're doomed."

But before Ji Congjing finished speaking, the Ninth Route General waved his hand, sending Ji Congjing flying away.

Ji Congjing landed far away, immediately feeling hot blood surging in his chest, left speechless.

Although he heard Ji Congjing's words, Wang Yan still stood there, allowing the Profound Fire Mirror to come down, covering his head.

Seeing Wang Yan enclosed by the Profound Fire Mirror, the Ninth Route General couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, once caught by the Profound Fire Mirror, no one can escape, boy, wait to be reduced to ashes."

After these words, the Ninth Route General clapped his hands, whereupon the Profound Fire Mirror emitted a sudden sound, with flames erupting on the sixty-four copper rods.

The flames instantly enveloped Wang Yan's surroundings, sealing his movements.

In a blink, the flames soared several meters high, almost turning the entire sky red.

Though the crowd had retreated tens of steps, they still felt intolerably hot, as if their bodies were about to be scorched, forcing them to retreat further and further.

At this point, the flames completely covered Wang Yan, you could only see raging fire but not his figure within them.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing, who had just suppressed the hot blood in his chest, fell into utter despair, at that moment almost not needing to look, Wang Yan must have been burned to death by the Profound Fire Mirror.

If the fire of the Profound Fire Mirror extinguishes, it might be the time for Ji Congjing to accompany him in death.

The Profound Fire Mirror burned for half an hour before the Ninth Route General chuckled softly and said: "That's about enough, I estimate the lad has long since turned to ashes."

With that, the Ninth Route General clapped his hands, the flames on the Profound Fire Mirror gradually lowered and extinguished, revealing sixty-four burnt red copper rods.

With a smug expression, the Ninth Route General was just about to raise his hand to retrieve the Profound Fire Mirror when suddenly his expression changed dramatically, his eyes stiffening.

Because he saw, within the Profound Fire Mirror, standing was a person, calm in demeanor, white robe fluttering, moving without wind.

Seeing this person, not just the Ninth Route General, but even the surrounding crowd was dumbfounded, Ji Congjing who had been sitting in despair on the ground, rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Because, what everyone saw was Wang Yan standing in place.

Wang Yan was perfectly intact, not only was he not burned to death, his clothes weren't even slightly scorched.

"Could it be that my Profound Fire Mirror is broken?" The Ninth Route General quickly raised his hand, retrieving the Profound Fire Mirror to examine carefully.

He saw the sixty-four copper rods of the Profound Fire Mirror were burnt red, showing no signs of being broken.

The Ninth Route General completely couldn't believe his eyes, hurriedly trying to grasp the burnt copper rods with his hand.

Yet as soon as he touched them, he heard a "sizzling" sound, a smell of burnt flesh rising instantly.

Following that, the Ninth Route General cried out in pain, throwing the Profound Fire Mirror to the ground.

Seeing the Ninth Route General's hand that had just reached for the Profound Fire Mirror already blackened,

the crowd finally understood how terrifying the Profound Fire Mirror was, yet such a frightening Profound Fire Mirror, Wang Yan managed to stand within for half an hour unscathed.

What on earth is this person's cultivation?

All at once, everyone was utterly astonished, for the first time looking at Wang Yan with an almost reverent gaze.

Even the Ninth Route General's eyes were filled with uncertainty, his eyeballs rolling back and forth, suddenly making up his mind, he said: "This third move, I won't hold back, watch carefully, this is my third move."

After saying this, the Ninth Route General raised his hand, took out an object, and tossed it to the ground beneath him.

A puff of smoke rose from the ground, immediately enveloping the Ninth Route General.

Seeing this, Wang Yan's brow furrowed: "Spatial Treasure."

Sure enough, as the smoke slowly dissipated, the Ninth Route General had already vanished.

"The Ninth Route General escaped?"

"This...this person actually scared the Ninth Route General away."

For a moment, everyone was astounded beyond words.

Just then, they heard the Ninth Route General's angry voice from mid-air: "Boy, for the remaining move, I'll wait for you in Yunmeng County. If you dare, come find me in three days."

Wang Yan's lip curled up, coldly saying: "Fine, in three days, I'll come to Yunmeng County to take the remaining move."
