in the edge

Chapter 565 The stars in the sky are all enemies

If given a choice, the Lord of Fire would actually not be willing to duel with Du Chengfeng right now.

This was completely different from the duel he had originally expected. In the prediction of the Lord of Fire, the duel between the two of them might be a showdown that no one knew about, in the valley, on the coast, or far away in the horizon. Without any scruples, the two of them could use all their skills, use all the moves they could think of, and fight for three days and three nights or even seven days and seven nights, until the last bit of physical strength was consumed, and only a pure contest of wills remained.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation. The greater possibility is that this duel will be a grand event. Both parties involved in the battle are fully prepared, with heaven and earth as witnesses. Under the gaze of the stars, they all show their most powerful side. The duel itself is as fierce as fire. All the powerful people will be shocked by the power they show and pay due respect to both parties of the duel.

Yes, this is the purpose of this duel. It is not a fight to the death. After all, they have already transcended life and death. This battle can not only rekindle the passion of the Lord of Fire, but also allow Du Chengfeng to show his abilities. This should be a win-win situation.

But now, this duel has become completely different from what the Lord of Fire had expected.

This duel has become something else entirely.

There is no prior preparation and no choice of location. The battle begins the moment eyes meet.

"Why!"

Flames rose from the fists of the Lord of Fire.

"You still have a chance..."

He had only said half of his words when the Fire Star Lord fell silent.

This is pure nonsense. Even his opponent, at this moment, knows him better than he knows himself.

The iron-sheet boxing stance in front of you is proof of that.

The other party really knew him well enough that he could even see at a glance the way he wanted to fight. If he could see the way he wanted to fight, then he could naturally see what he was really thinking.

Indeed, there was no point in saying anything more at this point. After all, the one who knew him best was his opponent. Although subjectively, he might still want to try to persuade him, his body and his fists had already made the decision before him.

No, even his consciousness had already made the decision.

The solution he just gave seemed reasonable, but based on his understanding of the Tin Man, he actually knew that it was impossible for the Tin Man to make the decision to turn all the people in the town into ashes for his own safety - in other words, this so-called persuasion was untenable from the beginning, and his words actually made the choice for the Tin Man.

Or in other words, this tin man named Du Chengfeng actually had no choice from the very beginning.

When this tin man named Du Chengfeng began to try to touch that crazy power, everything was doomed.

If the power that the other party had touched was real, and there was no difference between the powerful and ordinary people, then what was the point of the cultivation of the many powerful people? What was the point of the power that they possessed that was far beyond the ordinary?
No power would allow such a force to exist.

Even the Fire Star Lord himself would not allow it.

"Well, maybe you are just a training for me..."

As he said this, the Fire Star Lord swung his fist and threw it out.

"Then let me show you what I have accumulated over the years!"

With one punch, the fire became brighter.

He doesn't need to use any weapons, because the flame itself is the best weapon.

From ancient times to the present, there has always been a means of fire attack, using flames to ignite the enemy's buildings and food, or simply to ignite the enemy itself - weapons and armor may change with the times, but the flame itself has never changed from ancient times to the present.

Simply because fire itself does not need to change at all. From the moment humans discovered it, it has been the best weapon.

From using a torch to drive away wild beasts to burning down a city, this blazing flame that burns everything has always been the most useful weapon. The heat, the violence, the endless will... As long as the flame is still burning, nothing can stop it!

"Om-"

In just a moment, Du Chengfeng's body was completely set on fire.

The flames were so fierce that even the earth had begun to crack, the grass and trees on the ground had long since turned to ashes, and even the official uniform had begun to spark.

But it was just a spark.

The scorching heat even distorted the air, but it could not burn the simple cloth clothes.

Not to mention, the person wearing this suit is Du Chengfeng himself.

"you……"

The fists of the Lord of Fire began to hesitate. Everything before him was too much of a challenge to his cognition.

His flames were ineffective.

How is this possible?

"Of course this is possible."

Du Chengfeng, whose whole body was burning with flames, reached out his hand to brush away the sparks on his body.

"I also played with fire, so I am familiar with these things... Moreover, I have already realized the true power. You only use fake flames, which cannot burn the real me."

"You kid..."

The Fire Star God’s eyes were wide open with anger.

How dare you say his flames are fake, how dare you say his blazing flames that burn everything are fake... Then what is the value of his cultivation? What is the value of his improvement over thousands of years?
The Fire Star God is angry!

As the anger rose, the flames also burned on the Fire Star Lord himself.

As the flames burned, the momentum of the Lord of Fire increased rapidly!
"Come!"

The dazzling flames shot straight into the sky, and even the night sky was lit up at this moment.

Such a huge noise woke up the people in the town no matter how deep their sleep was. But now they couldn't even escape, let alone go to watch the excitement - because under this surging momentum, they couldn't even stand up, and even moving a finger had become a luxury.

The sheer outward aura is enough to suppress everything within a hundred miles.

This power that is far beyond the ordinary is the true strength of the Fire Star Lord as a powerful being.

"And it's not just me."

The old man with red hair and beard walked forward with raging flames.

"Every powerful person has such strength."

Their eyes met, and the Lord of Fire looked into Du Chengfeng's eyes.

"It's not too late for you to regret now."

"If you ask me, I'd better fight."

Du Chengfeng just shook his head.

"Why are you saying so much? Aren't you already full of fists?"

"Too."

Once again, the Fire Star Lord threw a punch.

Only a fist was swung, but the surging heat wave blocked all possible angles of dodging. There was no possibility of avoiding such a punch.

But Du Chengfeng had no intention of dodging.

He also swung out his fist.

Fist to fist!
This has nothing to do with any boxing style, and it can't even be called a martial art. It's just the simplest and most direct way of smashing each other's fists together - they don't even have to deliberately aim at vital points such as the head. After all, they no longer have vital points.

This is a competition of boxing, but also a competition of wills.

"But your will is not strong enough."

Feeling the power coming from the fist, the Fire Star Lord sneered.

"You may have indeed touched some power, but this is not your path... It turns out that you have not yet chosen your heart, and you have not yet strengthened your will."

As he said this, Fire Star Lord exerted his strength again. "How can you possibly defeat me when you are like this!"

Along with this exertion of force, the temperature on the fist of the Lord of Fire actually increased again. With such a high temperature, even steel could be melted easily!

What's more, what is in front of us is a piece of steel that is not strong enough.

In just a moment, the fist of the Lord of Fire penetrated Du Chengfeng's fist, followed by his forearm, upper arm, and even his entire shoulder. The arm that was originally like cast steel or iron instantly melted into molten iron, and Du Chengfeng's entire shoulder was directly pierced through by a single punch!
"You said my power is fake, then what is this!"

Looking at the face so close at hand, the Lord of Fire roared.

"Weak is weak!"

"Even the power is fake, how do you know that what you see is real?"

Even though half of his arm was broken, Du Chengfeng remained calm.

"Just like now, why do you feel safe being so close to me?"

"Varied……"

The intuition in his mind was sending out alarms, causing the Fire Deity to subconsciously lower his head.

It was at this time that he saw that the arm that should have been burned by him actually emerged again from between Du Chengfeng's chest and abdomen, and even turned into fingers, with the sword-like fingertips firmly resting on his chest and abdomen!

But these two fingers only pressed against his chest and abdomen, and did not pierce into him.

It's not that it's impossible to pierce it, the Lord of Fire is well aware of it.

This is purely because the other party held back.

"..."

The Lord of Fire took a half step back in silence, his face already filled with gloom.

"It's me..."

"No, you haven't lost yet."

Just when the Fire Star Lord was about to admit defeat, Du Chengfeng shook his head first.

"Just like you thought, I was the one who cheated this time, and you didn't really use your skills, so it doesn't count. We can try again."

"You want to do it again?"

The Fire Star Lord clenched his fists.

Winning once isn’t enough, you want another one?
"Yes, again."

Du Chengfeng nodded.

"This time, I'll do it."

As Du Chengfeng spoke, a hint of warmth appeared at his fingertips.

"Let me try your method."

"you!"

The expression on Fire Star Lord's face became even uglier.

Of course he could tell what that ray of warmth represented. After all, he himself was an expert in playing with fire. But now, in front of him, the God of Fire whose name was fire, this tin man actually started playing with fire!
Using fire to attack this Fire Deity Star Lord! What does this tin man want to do?
"Just wanted to try out some stuff."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng raised his hand and his palm was like a knife.

"coming soon."

The knife-hand thrust was exactly the same as the punch just now delivered by the Lord of Fire.

The Lord of Fire also raised his fist to meet the attack once again. He did not believe that the iron man could defeat him, a man who specialized in fire, in terms of fire. Using fire against him was undoubtedly a kind of contempt, or even a humiliation - this also made the Lord of Fire even more furious, and even his aura soared a little bit again.

The heavy pressure suppressed the area within a radius of hundreds of miles. All living creatures were suffocated. Some snakes, insects, rats and ants with weaker bodies could not withstand the pressure and exploded to death on the spot just because of the aftermath of the pressure.

As for the people in the town, they had already begun to lose consciousness. Although the pressure from the Lord of Fire was not directed at them, the huge existence itself made it almost impossible for them to even breathe.

All of this was naturally perceived by the Lord of Fire.

"So, there is no such thing as equality for all beings. The weak are weak, and the strong are strong."

Feeling all this, the Fire Star Lord clenched his fists. All this further proved that he was right and strengthened his will.

"The power you have touched is the evil path, and the path you have taken is the real madness. You should not be so stubborn... Repent!"

The flaming heavy fist smashed onto the warm hand knife.

The heavy punch was like a hammer, and even just a touch was enough to break the fragile metacarpal bones.

But at this moment, it was the heavy punch itself that was broken.

The warm flames seemed insignificant, but it was not until the moment of contact that Fire Star Lord felt the blazing heat on his fingertips. This was a temperature far higher than that of the blazing flames, and a temperature far higher than he could have imagined. This flame was so intense that it was even enough to melt his fist in an instant! Even the flame itself!

It was indeed fire, but not the mighty fire he used.

All the flames were gathered at the fingertips, and the extreme convergence gave birth to extreme heat, so much so that even the Fire Star Lord who controlled the flames was defeated by this finger.

In just a moment, the arm of the Lord of Fire was completely cut off.

The winner is decided here.

"how did you do it?"

Covering the wound that had cut open his entire arm, the Lord of Fire was dumbfounded for a moment.

"You used my power?"

"Of course I can do it, because there is no limit to this kind of thing."

Du Chengfeng blew out the flames on his fingertips.

"I can do it, you can do it, he can do it, everyone can do it... As long as you want to do it, as long as you do it, you can do it."

"…So, this is what you want to try?"

The Fire Star Lord frowned.

"This power, this omnipotent power, is this what you want to try?"

"Not really."
