The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1412: Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire

"Mm?"

All of a sudden, Xu Zhengfeng tore open the clothing on Bo Ershu's chest. When he saw the fist imprint pressed firmly against Bo Ershu's heart, his brows could not help but draw together slightly.

"The one who struck only attacked the heart, yet the force poured through the entire body and shattered every tendon. Power like this can only be produced by a true body refinement expert!"

Xu Zhengfeng lifted his head and looked toward the master of the Tempest Wind Hall as he spoke slowly. "Yu Qingping sounds like a woman's name. That little girl actually specializes in body refinement?"

"Uh..." The Tempest Wind Hall master paused in surprise. "As far as I know, Yu Qingping's talent is decent, but she mainly cultivates ice and wind. She has never practiced body refinement. Could it be..."

The Tempest Wind Hall master was no fool. He immediately realized that the one who truly captured and killed Bo Ershu had to be someone else.

"Interesting!"

Xu Zhengfeng curled his lips into a smile. He examined Bo Ershu's shattered tendons inch by inch, murmuring to himself, "I have seen descriptions of this kind of strength before, recorded in an ancient manual."

The Tempest Wind Hall master exchanged a glance with Elder Cao Yang, and the two spoke at the same time. "What kind of strength?"

"Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength!"

Xu Zhengfeng's eyes flashed with sharp light as he replied calmly. "If this truly is Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength, then that youngster must have broken through to the Transformation Realm using ninety nine meridians. He is without question a heaven sent genius!"

"Ling Feng!"

The Tempest Wind Hall master's eyelids twitched violently. He knew Lin Mu's half baked abilities well enough. Since it was neither Yu Qingping nor Lin Mu, then among the three, only Ling Feng remained.

He drew in a deep breath and thought to himself, Elder Gui's judgment truly lived up to his reputation!

"So his name is Ling Feng?"

Xu Zhengfeng laughed out loud. "Interesting. Very interesting! I once attempted to cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art myself and nearly ruined every tendon in my body. This boy is anything but simple!"

"Then..." Elder Cao Yang's expression shifted slightly as he asked, "Supreme Elder Xu, should I bring Ling Feng here?"

"No need."

Xu Zhengfeng waved his hand lightly. "Since he intends to hide his strength, there is no need for me to expose him."

After searching Bo Ershu's body carefully for a while, Xu Zhengfeng soon took out a dark blue jade pendant. After a brief moment of thought, he crushed it directly into powder.

At once, a hoarse voice transmission slowly drifted out.

"We are trapped and urgently require rescue at the Dead Soul Devil Abyss. The location is the deepest volcanic crater... In addition, we also discovered an astonishing hidden site. Inside a volcanic magma cavern, there is a spirit pool."

"Based on our initial assessment, this is the legendary Heaven-Incinerating Fire Dragon Pool. It may be nurturing a legendary abnormal fire, the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire!"

Xu Zhengfeng's aged eyes burst with brilliant light, and he could not help but throw his head back in laughter. "Hahaha! What effortless fortune! The Dead Soul Devil Abyss is vast beyond measure, and searching for a single person there is like looking for a needle in the sea. Who would have thought that such vital information would be found on Bo Ershu himself? With this, it will take no more than half a month, and at most one month, to capture and kill that man!"

Xu Zhengfeng laughed heartily, his mood greatly lifted.

"No wonder the barbarians sent scouts to harass the surrounding area. It turns out they were passing messages. Fortunately, this operation concluded perfectly. Otherwise, if a barbarian expert had gone to the Dead Soul Devil Abyss for rescue, capturing that thief would have become far more difficult!"

Elder Cao Yang also showed a hint of joy. He silently felt relieved that the boy named Ling Feng had managed to capture the Silver Fox Bo Ershu alive!

"And there is more," the Tempest Wind Hall master said, his eyes gleaming. "Who would have thought that deep within the Dead Soul Devil Abyss there would be a treasure like the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire? Although I cultivate wind, wind and fire support each other. If I were to obtain such an abnormal fire, my strength would also rise greatly."

Xu Zhengfeng's expression remained calm. Though a trace of excitement appeared, it quickly faded, replaced by a flash of wisdom in his eyes. "This information cannot be fully trusted. I suspect that the one trapped in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss feared the barbarians would refuse to risk a rescue, so he used the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire as bait to ensure they would come. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? How could they find a place to hide and then immediately discover such a world shaking treasure?"

The Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire ranked near the top ten among abnormal fires. It could almost be said to be the highest level abnormal fire ever to appear within the Dongling Region.

The Tempest Wind Hall master nodded slightly. Xu Zhengfeng's reasoning made sense.

"Right," Xu Zhengfeng continued, "Ling Feng and the other two captured Bo Ershu alive and intercepted such critical information. Their merit is unquestionable. In addition to the original reward of one hundred war points, Elder Cao, take them into the War Treasury. Each of them may choose one item, as long as it is worth no more than three hundred war points!"

"Yes!"

Elder Cao Yang nodded. Even he felt a bit tempted this time. Those three lucky youngsters had only arrived on their second day and had already received such a reward. This was unprecedented in the history of the Hall of War!

"Go and have those youngsters prepare properly," Xu Zhengfeng said slowly. "Tomorrow at noon, we depart on time for the Dead Soul Devil Abyss!"

"Yes!"

Elder Cao Yang accepted the order and quickly left the prison. He dispatched people to the inner sect disciples' residences to summon Ling Feng and the others to the War Treasury.

...

Before long, Ling Feng and the other two arrived in front of the War Treasury under the guidance of a silver armored guard.

Elder Cao Yang was already waiting there.

"Elder Cao!"

The three of them hurried forward to pay their respects. Being suddenly summoned by an elder had left them somewhat confused.

"There is no need for formalities."

Elder Cao Yang nodded slightly and cast a meaningful glance at Ling Feng, with a trace of appreciation visible in his eyes.

Ling Feng was sharp enough to notice it. He raised a hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, already aware that the old man had likely seen through who had truly beaten Bo Ershu senseless.

After all, with Fairy Qingping's slender build, she did not look like a body refinement cultivator no matter how one looked at her.

What Ling Feng did not know was that Xu Zhengfeng, truly seasoned with age, had not only identified that someone else was responsible for capturing Bo Ershu, but had also discerned that Ling Feng's body refinement technique was none other than the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art.

"You three rendered considerable merit in this operation," Elder Cao Yang said. "By the grace of Supreme Elder Xu, each of you is awarded one hundred war points and recorded with third class merit. You are also granted one opportunity to choose an item from the War Treasury. Any item worth up to three hundred war points may be selected!"

"Haha, we actually get something like this?"

Lin Mu was overjoyed. He had merely followed along and picked up a few kills, yet he still managed to ride along and receive such a reward.

Even Fairy Qingping was slightly surprised. Capturing a barbarian general alive alone should not warrant such generous rewards.

Opening the War Treasury to them was one thing, but giving them three hundred war points outright was simply too satisfying!

"Thank you, Elder!"

Taking a deep breath, the three of them bowed deeply to Elder Cao Yang.

"There is no need to thank me," Elder Cao Yang replied calmly. "Supreme Elder Xu has always been fair in rewards and punishments. As long as you establish more merit, rewards will naturally follow!"

He nodded slightly and continued, "Alright, follow me. You have half an hour to choose your items within the Land of War. If the time runs out and you still have not made your choice, this opportunity will be forfeited."
