Chapter 1076 - 161: I Am Arrogant!

Chapter 1076: Chapter 161: I Am Arrogant!

That arrogant, overbearing man actually has the aura of Abnormal Fire on him?

The Abnormal Fire actually chose someone like him as its host?

Mu Qingge couldn’t quite figure it out.

But Yuanyuan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and immediately said, ’Not a host. I can feel it—this person only carries the aura of Abnormal Fire, but there’s no parasitic relationship. He should have seen Abnormal Fire before, maybe even come into contact with it. Boss, if you want to track down Abnormal Fire, you can start with him.’

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed; she had already made up her mind.

Suddenly, her thoughts cleared. She seemed to understand why those Divines whose Cultivation was obviously higher than this arrogant thug’s were so wary of him.

Because what they feared wasn’t him, but the Abnormal Fire.

’So that means, did he perhaps reach some kind of agreement with the Abnormal Fire?’ Mu Qingge muttered inwardly.

Abnormal Fires all possess intelligence.

Of the ones she’d encountered before, aside from that dying Bone Demon Flame, which one hadn’t cost her all kinds of scheming and all-out effort to obtain?

If she wanted to find Abnormal Fire, the first step was to deal with the man in front of her.

Mu Qingge’s gaze turned cold, and she struck without hesitation.

She didn’t move from where she stood, yet a giant hand formed of Divine Power suddenly appeared, clamped around that arrogant man’s neck, hoisted him up, then slammed him violently into the ground.

"Leader!"

His subordinates surged forward, trying to rescue him and also wanting to properly teach Mu Qingge a lesson.

Even that man who’d been marked with a kill order by this fellow had no time to care about anything else now; he simply tossed him aside and locked down the Godforce inside his body.

As soon as Mu Qingge made her move, Tong Teng, Qian Shui, and Yin Chen sprang into action.

The three of them blocked those "lackeys," not letting them get close enough to interfere with Mu Qingge’s work. Mu Qingge’s figure flickered, and she appeared beside the man who was sprawled on the ground, limbs splayed, having smashed a deep pit into the floor. She lifted her foot and stomped hard onto his spine.

"Ah—!"

The pain in his back made him let out a miserable scream.

His hands braced against the ground, seemingly trying to break free from Mu Qingge’s suppression. However, no matter how much strength he used—even when veins and blood vessels bulged on his face and neck, his face flushing red, his arms trembling—he still couldn’t push himself up.

The foot Mu Qingge had planted on his spine was like a thousand-jin boulder crushing him, leaving him unable to fight back.

In the span of a breath, his subordinates were all dealt with one by one, knocked to the ground.

Mu Qingge clasped her hands behind her back, looking down at the man beneath her foot, and asked coldly, "Speak. Where is the Abnormal Fire?"

Arrogant! Outrageously arrogant!

The people outside the boundary stared, dumbfounded, eyes full of shock.

It seemed this was the first time they’d ever seen anyone dare act so wildly here. Unconsciously, they swallowed hard and cautiously took a few steps back, as if afraid they’d be dragged into this mess.

The man pinned beneath Mu Qingge’s foot finally gave up his futile struggle.

But his arrogance still hadn’t faded. He twisted his head to look at Mu Qingge and forced out words through gritted teeth: "You actually dare treat me like this? I’ll see you die with no grave to bury you!"

"Then give it a try," Mu Qingge said indifferently.

The force under her foot increased again, and from the body beneath her, there seemed to come the sound of cracking bones.

"Ah—! Stop... no... s-stop... stop..." The man couldn’t endure it and shouted loudly.

Mu Qingge didn’t listen at all, her voice still cold: "Where is the Abnormal Fire?"

The man’s eyes darted frantically, looking somewhat panicked.

Mu Qingge’s question was something he wanted to avoid, something he refused to answer.

However, the moment he tried to dodge the question and stay silent, Mu Qingge pressed down a bit harder with her foot.

Crack—!

"Ah—!" The sound of one of his vertebrae breaking was drowned out by his scream.

Mu Qingge said icily, "My patience is limited."

Cold sweat was already beading on the man’s forehead from the pain. He laughed savagely, and his already unpleasant features twisted into something even more hideous.

"Fine, you dare be this arrogant in front of me—you’ve got guts! You want Abnormal Fire, is that it? Then I’ll let you taste what Abnormal Fire feels like!"

The man bellowed.

All of a sudden, the temperature around them shot up, just like what Mu Qingge and the others had felt when they first came in.

"Hurry... hurry, run..." The onlookers, feeling the surge of heat, grew frantic, scattering in all directions, even fleeing blindly.

"Hahahahaha—!" The man under Mu Qingge’s foot laughed wildly, seemingly very pleased by the sight of everyone panicking, utterly at a loss.

Qian Shui, Tong Teng, and Yin Chen quickly retreated back to Mu Qingge’s side, keeping a wary eye on their surroundings.

"Die! All of you, die! You dare act arrogant in front of me?" the man snarled viciously.

"Let him go! Let him go! If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!" In their panic, those trying to escape started shouting at Mu Qingge.

"Yeah, let him go, quick!"

"You can’t detain him—release him and apologize properly."

"We don’t want to die here, let him go already!"

The voices all around, the words they shouted, drilled into the man’s ears. He laughed even more arrogantly: "Hahaha... Hear that? I’m an existence you cannot provoke here. Whoever dares harm me, the Abnormal Fire will burn them to death. Everyone in this place, besides me, will die!"

His words made Mu Qingge frown.

And that Treasure Hunter who’d still been defiant before now lay on the ground like a pile of mud, feeling the scorching heat around them, fear rising in his eyes as well.

Only now did he understand why those people whose Cultivation surpassed his wouldn’t dare provoke this man.

"Let him go!" Unable to help himself and no longer caring about the grudge between them, he joined the others in shouting at Mu Qingge.

Yet to Mu Qingge, all these voices weren’t worth shit.

She looked coolly at the man under her foot and said lightly, "You think you can play arrogant in front of me? You’re still too green."

’Yuanyuan, memorize the aura of this Abnormal Fire.’ Mu Qingge said to Yuanyuan in her heart.

’Mm, don’t worry, Boss, leave it to me!’ Yuanyuan replied at once.

With Yuanyuan’s assurance, a playful smile tugged at Mu Qingge’s lips as she lifted the foot she had pressed into his spine.

The sudden relief on his back made the man sprawled on the ground secretly rejoice, surprised that Mu Qingge was finally scared enough to let him go. Inwardly, he thought with contempt, ’Hmph, weren’t you so arrogant just now? In the end it was only bluffing, and now you still have to obediently release me. No way, I absolutely can’t let her off that easily—I’ll make sure she kneels before me, kowtows to admit her mistakes, and licks my shoes clean. Maybe...’

Crack—!

The sound of his spine completely snapping rang out.

Mu Qingge’s foot crushed down, caving in a huge section of his back...
