A fiery red ray carrying a scorching aura shot directly toward Fu Ye's face. To him, such an attack was as powerless as a faint breeze stirred by an ant looking up from beneath his feet.
Fu Ye now saw the true colors of the Shrek students: Dai Mubai was a coward who bullied the weak; Oscar was a hypocrite riding on others' coattails; and Ma Hongjun was a primal animal driven entirely by his lower half. As for Tang San... well, everyone knows the character of the "God-King." He's the type to act humble when others are strong and tyrannical when he has the upper hand. Fu Ye even admired the man's ruthlessness—after all, this was a guy who could tear his own daughter's soul in two.
Boom!
Before the deep red flames could reach Fu Ye, they exploded in mid-air and dissipated.
"Ignorance is fearless, but it is still a sin," Fu Ye said calmly. "Since you spoke insolently to my girl and insulted me, you can temper yourself in this sea of fire."
Ma Hongjun watched in horror as his own flames spiraled out of control. Vroom! Violent flames erupted from his own body, burning his flesh. Fu Ye flicked a small spark that turned from yellow to red, then blue, and finally a viscous purple-black. When it touched Ma Hongjun, the boy's flames turned into a terrifying dark void of heat.
"AHHH!!! IT'S TOO HOT! MY HANDS! MY— ARGH!!!"
The high temperature forced everyone to retreat. Ma Hongjun rolled on the ground, but Fu Ye's black fire was like a maggot in the bone—it couldn't be shaken off. Within seconds, the smell of charred flesh filled the air. Fu Ye casually held Zhuqing, watching the scene. This "Fatty" loved women so much? He would make sure the boy never touched one again. Ma Hongjun's skin crackled and turned into black charcoal while still alive.
"Hongjun!" "Ma Hongjun!"
The Shrek teachers finally arrived. Leading them was Flender, whom Fu Ye had beaten like a dead dog two years ago. Seeing his beloved disciple on fire, Flender used his soul power to drag the boy out and throw him into a nearby river.
Hiss! The black fire was so intense it evaporated the water instantly. Bubbles of steam rose to the surface as the boy sank.
Meanwhile, a short, muscular man with an aura of raw violence stepped toward Oscar. "Oscar, who did this to Ma Hongjun?" It was the vice-dean, the infamous "Moving Vigor Overlord," Zhao Wuji.
"Teacher Zhao, it was..."
Zhao Wuji's gaze locked onto Fu Ye, his killing intent overflowing. "It was you, kid?"
Fu Ye remained indifferent, pinching Zhuqing's cheek. "I hate it when people show killing intent in front of me."
"First Spirit Skill: Vigorous Vajra Palm!"
A massive golden hand, capable of shattering mountains, struck toward Fu Ye. Zhao Wuji wanted to turn him into meat paste.
"Teacher Zhao, don't!" Tang San called out. He knew Fu Ye was strong, but he didn't think he could match a Spirit Saint like Zhao Wuji.
Hum!
Suddenly, a nine-colored jade case appeared beside Fu Ye. A longsword wreathed in terrifyingly hot crimson flames shot out. Fu Ye whispered: "All things in the universe, turn to ash..."
For ten miles around, every living thing felt an unbearable heat. Zhao Wuji felt a chill of terror.
"Burning Hell," Fu Ye murmured.
The crimson sword tore through Zhao Wuji's golden palm and lunged straight for his heart.
"Not good! Seventh Spirit Skill: Spirit Avatar!"
Flash! Squelch!
The red light passed through. Silence followed. Fu Ye continued to tease the blushing Zhuqing, while the Shrek members stood frozen in horror. Zhao Wuji's massive Spirit Avatar disintegrated into golden light. Tang San and Tang Chuan were speechless—an instant kill! A high-level Spirit Saint, even after activating his Avatar, had been deleted in a single strike.
Zhao Wuji's body was consumed by the crimson flames, turning into fine ash that drifted away in the wind.
Just then, Flender returned with the half-dead Ma Hongjun and locked eyes with Fu Ye. "It's you!"
