Chapter 46: Hong Fei and Zhang Ba

  Ling Luoyu glanced at Mu Yi and Han Xiangjun beside him, and was about to share his observations of the fire pillar with them in detail.

  At this moment, Ling Luo Yu suddenly burst into a white light, and his dizzy head was stunned.

  "Could it be that someone else has come through this transmission array!" Ling Luoyu was taken aback, and then delighted, because the first person he thought of was Qin Zitian. Although the possibility was extremely small, Ling Luoyu still turned around.

  The white light gradually dissipated, and in the center of the transmission array stood more than a dozen people.

  When they saw Ling Luo Yu and his four companions, more than ten people on horseback took out their weapons and watched them vigilantly.

  Han Xiao, Mu Yi and Qin Ling'er also jumped up and confronted those over ten people.

  " Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We're all on the same side!" As two voices rang out, two figures emerged from the crowd and walked forward.

  "Ling brothers, do you still remember us?" Along with the sound of the voice, Ling Luoyu raised his head to look over.

  "It's Brother Hong and Brother Zhang, of course I remember. The two brothers made a big splash at the grand banquet to receive the imperial edict!" Ling Luoyu smiled faintly.

  "Which one of you is better than Ling Ge, you and the Butterfly Maiden's duet of Feng Qiu Huang, we still remember it vividly!" The two called out to the others, who put down their weapons and slowly walked up to Ling Luo Yu.

  Looking around at the raging flames, Hong Fei furrowed his brow and said: "Ling brother, how long have you been here? Have you found a way to cross this sea of fire?"

  "Actually, I was just getting a bit stuck, but you two came at just the right time and broke our train of thought!" Ling Luoyu said with a wry smile.

  Zhang Ba took a step forward and said with a big smile: "It's just a little flame, can't we get through it with our skills?"

  Ling Luo shook his head and said, "If Brother Zhang is confident that not a single spark will pass through here, then it's no big deal! However, from my observation, this flame can melt gold and iron, its power is boundless. Even if only a single thread of it touches us, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger!"

  "This flame is so fierce? Zhang Mou doesn't quite believe it!" Zhang Ba made a gesture and was about to rush forward, but when he was several feet away from the fire pillar, Zhang Ba suddenly stopped and slowly retreated back.

  Just as Ling Luoye thought Zhang Ba had given up, Zhang Ba suddenly turned around and pointed at a thin man in green clothes: "Zhang San, among the people I brought, your skills will be tested first!"

  That man in green clothes looked at the flames dancing across the sky, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and walked out.

  "This Zhang Ba is so violently toxic, such a person cannot be deeply interacted with!" Ling Luo Yu lightly shook her head, and in her heart, she had already begun to guard against Zhang Ba.

  "Zhang San, we've raised you in Luoyang Fortress for so many years, now it's time for you to make a contribution! Go with confidence!" Seeing Zhang San hesitating and unwilling to move forward, Zhang Ba waved his hand impatiently.

  Perhaps, if Zhang San continued to remain motionless, Zhang Ba might have killed him on the spot. Helpless, Zhang San took a slight step back and then suddenly charged forward. Although Zhang San had moved, the hint of resentment in his eyes could not be concealed from anyone present.

  Hong Fei and Ling Luo Yu exchanged a glance, tacitly understanding each other as they shook their heads.

  Zhang San's expression was also seen by Zhang Ba, but he didn't care at all.

  "You're just a slave, dead or alive, I'll find ways to kill you even if you don't die! Not just you, but also those slaves behind you, living forever and never dying, a group of slaves, what qualifications do they have to share these things with Master?! Your role is just to be a meat shield for me, Master!" Zhang Ba's venomous gaze swept around, thinking secretly.

  Zhang San, a man from Qingyi, had an extraordinary light body kung fu. He was still more than ten feet away from the first flame pillar when he lightly jumped over it. As for the second flame pillar, Zhang San also jumped over it. However, just as Zhang San had barely jumped past it, the flame pillar suddenly started spewing out flames. Perhaps if Zhang San had been a fraction of a second slower, he would have already been engulfed by the flames.

  Wiping the sweat beads on his face due to tension, Zhang San rushed towards the third flame pillar. However, at this moment, the third flame pillar started spraying, and its direction was facing the second flame pillar. The flames sprayed from the two pillars surprisingly filled the passage between them.

  In this case, Zhang San was not spared. At the moment when the third pillar of fire spewed out, Zhang San had already been incinerated by the scorching flames, leaving no ashes behind.

  Everyone gasped in shock at the sight of the flames' incredible power.

  "Ling brother, you just said that you have some idea about passing through the Flame Road. I wonder if Brother Ling can share that method with us?" Hong Fei spoke up first.

  Ling Luo's feathers fluttered slightly as she smiled and said, "Of course, there's no problem at all! The method is actually quite simple, but the calculations are not that easy. After observing these fire pillars for half a day, I discovered that the timing of their eruptions and the intervals between them do follow a certain pattern. As long as we can figure out this pattern, what's to stop us from passing through?"

  "Looking at Brother Ling's confident appearance, could it be that Brother Ling has already calculated the law of this fire pillar's eruption?" Upon hearing this, Hong Fei's heart felt a surge of joy.

  Ling Luoye shook his head and smiled wryly, "Actually, I had just gotten a little lead, but coincidentally, Hong Xiong and Zhang Xiong came over and interrupted me. Now everything has to be recalculated from the beginning!" Although Ling Luoye had already figured out the pattern of the fire pillar's eruption, he didn't feel like sharing it with Hong Fei and Zhang Ba, especially Zhang Ba, towards whom Ling Luoye felt extreme disgust in his heart.

  However, for Hong Fei, Ling Luo Yu actually had a bit of a good impression. If it were only Hong Fei alone, Ling Luo Yu might have told him the rules of flame ejection that he had calculated.

  "By the way, Brother Hong, did you see anyone else on your way here?" Ling Luoyu changed the subject.

  Hong Fei smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ling must be thinking about the whereabouts of Miss Zitian, right? With Miss Zitian's extraordinary bearing, not many people would truly want to harm her. Brother Ling doesn't have to worry, although the yellow-robed person at the Xieyin Mountain Villa made this Tongxian Tomb sound terrifying, I think it seems like passing through here isn't that difficult. Except for encountering some trouble on the first floor and losing a few brothers, from the second floor all the way to here, not even a ghostly shadow was seen!"

  "Is that so? Brother Hong, you're indeed lucky. My journey here was arduous and I almost stayed here forever several times!" Ling Luoyu smiled faintly.

  Hong Fei chuckled and said, "I'm afraid it's not that I have good luck, but rather Ling brother has too bad luck! Don't believe me? Ask Zhang brother, he encountered a similar situation to mine!"

  "How come they didn't encounter anyone blocking their way on the second floor? Is it because of Chen Kong? Yes, it must be because of Chen Kong! Those intruders on the second floor must have been cleaned up by Chen Kong!" Thinking of Chen Kong's sudden departure, Ling Luoye suddenly felt enlightened.

  The transmission array suddenly lit up again, and Ling Luo Yu, Hong Fei, and Zhang Ba were shocked to look at each other.

  "Could it be someone else has arrived? Who could it be?" At this moment, all three of them had only this one thought in mind.
