Scarlet Feather lay on the ground.
His eyes were wide open, looking a bit comical.
Since he was a child, he had never suffered such humiliation. Even when fighting with the Imperial Capital, he had not been defeated so quickly.
How could he be knocked down by a punch from the Great Emperor seedling he considered the weakest?
Scarlet Feather was not convinced, not at all.
His body became serious, and he rose up from the ground. His wings covered with three thousand flames spread out behind him. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"I am the glory of my clan. I will embark on the Emperor's road, become an Emperor, and lead my clan to rise!"
A blazing heat filled the entire Netherworld domain. Countless flames were burning and even ignited the void.
"If it were winter..." Chen Xia said calmly and slowly, "I would call you the number - one heating provider."
"Unfortunately, it is summer now." He sighed again and lamented.
"You are a bit redundant."
The flames exploded and the temperature rose again!
Scarlet Feather roared angrily and charged with a long flame tail, like an extremely angry divine phoenix, ready to devour everything!
Chen Xia had said a long time ago that when people were extremely angry, they could show unexpected abilities.
For example, I can feed a tiger with a slide shovel.
Unfortunately, Scarlet Feather was a bird.
Chen Xia stretched out one hand and stood firmly. Looking at the flaming divine phoenix charging over recklessly, his face didn't show the slightest fluctuation.
What should you do when someone treats you recklessly?
The answer is to be more reckless than him.
Fight violence with violence!
Chen Xia resisted the charging flaming divine phoenix with one hand. He didn't even take a step back. Instead, he even clenched his five fingers and grasped all three thousand flames in his hand!
He took a step forward.
The flames all over the sky suddenly retreated and didn't dare to move forward!
"Go!"
Chen Xia shouted loudly, suddenly increased the force in his hand, and threw it violently.
The flames quickly faded with this throw, like a thrown flaming meteorite. It hit the ground heavily and stopped only after stretching for more than a thousand meters.
The flames on Scarlet Feather's body disappeared, leaving only a little spark.
He gasped for breath, full of disbelief, and muttered.
"How could it be? Is the gap between me and the Great Emperor seedlings really this big?"
Chen Xia tore off his somewhat burned collar and kindly advised.
"It may be such a big gap with me. It has nothing to do with the Great Emperor seedlings."
"Aren't you a damaged Taoist heart? How can you still be so powerful?" Scarlet Feather asked, disbelieving.
Chen Xia retorted indignantly, "No one has stipulated that if the Taoist heart is damaged, one can't be so powerful. You are being prejudiced."
"Are those in high positions born with a noble nature? Although my Taoist heart is damaged, I also have an invincible heart!"
Scarlet Feather had a blank look. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "I've understood!"
Chen Xia rolled his eyes.
You've understood again, damn it.
Scarlet Feather was still muttering to himself.
Chen Xia had already released the Samsara Dead End and planned to return to his cave to rest.
"I heard that you two were fighting here, so I came here specially to have a look."
A voice that Chen Xia least wanted to hear rang out.
The old fisherman stood beside him, his eyes constantly looking around, analyzing the situation on the spot.
Chen Xia sighed in his heart, feeling that there was going to be trouble again. In order not to arouse the old fisherman's suspicion, he could only start acting.
"Puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, covered his heart, and began to pant while saying.
"Scarlet Feather, you are so fierce. You could actually hurt me to this extent. Fortunately, I narrowly defeated you by one move. Damn it. If my Taoist heart hadn't been damaged, I should have won more easily."
The old fisherman quickly showed concern and said, "Good disciple, it's already very good that you can do this. Hurry up and have a good rest. I will bring you some tonics later to repair your Taoist heart."
The old fisherman was very happy that Chen Xia could defeat Scarlet Feather.
Scarlet Feather was a Supreme - species, and among the Supreme - species, he was the Three - thousand - Flame - Feather Crow, which was mainly for slaying and was only one step weaker than the Great Emperor seedlings.
And Chen Xia could defeat Scarlet Feather, which showed that even though Chen Xia's Taoist heart was damaged, he was still among the Great Emperor seedlings.
Later, as long as he nurtured his Taoist heart back, he could still become a quasi - saint, and the effect of the life - extending medicine would not be bad either.
Now the old fisherman's purpose was to "raise" Chen Xia well.
Chen Xia naturally knew this, so he planned to feign illness.
If you're sick, you can't be eaten, right?
The master and the disciple were deceiving each other.
Only Scarlet Feather looked at them blankly. Looking at Chen Xia spitting blood, he was full of doubts.
What was going on? Had he really seriously injured Chen Xia?
Chen Xia said that he had narrowly won, so it should be right!
Thinking of this, Scarlet Feather was filled with pride. His eyes lit up with confident divine light again, and he stood up from the ground.
It turned out that he was not so weak. He had only narrowly lost to Chen Xia and had even left Chen Xia injured.
I am only one step away from the Great Emperor seedlings.
Scarlet Feather's clever mind quickly worked, and immediately he reached a conclusion.
He had the potential to become an Emperor!
Chen Xia was still feigning illness. Seeing Scarlet Feather stand up like a madman and stare at him with high spirits, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this crazy bird was going to do again.
The old fisherman put his hands behind his back and earnestly advised on the side.
"Appropriate fighting is necessary. After all, everything on the Emperor's road is obtained through competition. If you don't fight or snatch, others will naturally do it."
"You don't want to be a stepping stone for other Great Emperor seedlings, so you should fight now, which can better temper your Taoist heart."
"But..." The old fisherman glanced at Chen Xia, who was spitting blood, as if he was thinking about what to say.
Chen Xia quickly spat out another mouthful of blood to show that his injury was not light.
The old fisherman continued, "The competition should also have a limit. After all, you are fighting with fellow disciples in the sect, not really fighting to the death outside."
"It's unnecessary to be so seriously injured like this time. It could have been completely avoided."
"Okay, okay." Chen Xia nodded, indicating that he understood, while considering whether to spit out another mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, the old fisherman didn't stay long. After a few more words of comfort, he disappeared in a flash.
Chen Xia covered his chest and pretended to limp towards his cave.
Scarlet Feather quickly walked to his side and said proudly.
"I didn't expect that you were so seriously injured. It's my fault for not holding back my strength. However, you are also extraordinary. You could narrowly defeat me so quickly even with a damaged Taoist heart!"
Speaking of this, a divine light shone in Scarlet Feather's eyes, and he said with unparalleled pride.
"I, Scarlet Feather, will regard you as the strongest competitor on the Emperor's road!"
Chen Xia was stunned, "Well..."
"Have you misunderstood something?"
What had he misunderstood?
Scarlet Feather didn't know either, but he didn't care. He was single - minded and only wanted to achieve the Emperor's road. Now he was just giving Chen Xia a heads - up.
However, considering that Chen Xia had given him some advice.
When the Emperor's road opened in the future and on the way to compete for the Great Emperor's seat, he would not kill Chen Xia.
This was Scarlet Feather's pride.
Are those in high positions born with a noble nature?
Becoming an Emperor doesn't depend on one's origin. I, Scarlet Feather, also have the potential to become an Emperor!
