Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 405 Let's find girls together in the next life (to be released at 6 PM)

"Fatty!!! What are you doing!?"

As if stunned by the scene before him, Dai Mubai roared loudly, his voice filled with venom.

"Stop it!"

Unlike other desperate measures, once the flame of life is ignited, even if Ma Hongjun can be reborn, he cannot escape the fate of death.

This is a desperate method that burns away one's life, cultivation, potential, and even everything one possesses. Once it is used, there is almost no possibility of it ending.

Having undergone several rebirths without ever relinquishing his vow, he finally embarked on the path of self-destruction at this moment.

Even Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise when he saw this scene.

However, in the next instant, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fierce light in Ma Hongjun's eyes. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and his body reacted instinctively, retreating rapidly.

As expected, scorching flames erupted from Ma Hongjun's body, instantly engulfing the area where he was standing.

Whether it was due to the burning of his potential or not, after igniting the flame of life, Ma Hongjun not only experienced a temporary boost in his cultivation, but even his phoenix flame underwent some unknown evolution.

Just as the legend describes, the flames released by the phoenix before its death are the most intense of its life.

Compared to those released in previous battles, the current Phoenix Flame has leaped several levels in both temperature and quality. Even though Huo Yuhao had managed to dodge the blast, he was still stung by the intense heat.

It was this seemingly insignificant feeling that caused him to pause almost imperceptibly, a hint of indescribable surprise flashing in his eyes.

You should know that since he fused with the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, he hasn't experienced what 'scalding' feels like for countless years.

Judging from this point alone, the quality of this phoenix flame is not far from that of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. If the evolved flame essence could be extracted, it would be an extremely rare treasure for both him and Sister Tao.

Realizing this, Huo Yuhao's mind immediately became active.

To be honest, there are still more good people than bad in the world!

Look at them, they not only came down to the mortal realm to die, but they also brought their families along, bringing treasures to enhance their strength. It made him feel a little embarrassed.

Remember how he used to cultivate with Sister Xiaotao frequently to balance the increasingly obvious difference between his ice and fire attributes and to prevent the power of extreme ice from corroding his body? In order to use the power of the ten-headed fire phoenix to enhance his own extreme fire.

Unfortunately, this method gradually loses its effectiveness as the number of times dual cultivation increases.

Even his ultimate ice, due to the increasing number of spirit rings of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, completely broke the original fragile balance and took over the body.

According to the original logic, he should have died from the corrosive effects of the extreme ice on his body.

However, at that time, he first absorbed the complete power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, which greatly increased his physical strength. Then he merged with the Snow Empress, who was at the level of a priest, which was equivalent to having an extra being who could help control the extreme ice in his body.

With the help of these two fortunate circumstances, the so-called erosion problem disappeared completely.

But as much as he wasn't worried, if given a choice, Huo Yuhao sincerely hoped that these two forces could regain their balance.

The reason is simple: when the ultimate ice has the advantage, his body will uncontrollably become cold.

Especially with several ice-attribute spirits having already become priests, further widening the gap between ice and fire attributes, his body can sometimes become as solid as an ice block.

It was freezing cold.

For him personally, this state might not feel like anything, and it doesn't affect his daily activities at all, but the problem is that he often has to fight with people!

It's not that other people can't accept this kind of thing at all. If you occasionally experience "freezing little Huo", not only will there be no problem, but it can also add some fun between partners.

But if this continues indefinitely, no one will be able to stand it.

Although he could "warm up" by activating the power of the Fire Dragon King before a major battle, doing it every time was still a bit troublesome.

Besides this issue, the imbalance between ice and fire has also caused considerable trouble in other areas.

The most crucial point is that under these circumstances, it is actually very difficult for him to unleash the power belonging to the Fire Dragon King within him.

He can no longer use skills like the Purgatory Furnace he used when fighting Qiu'er, or the Yangyan Blade part of the Twin Swords, now that his body is dominated by the Ice Dragon King.

If Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames hadn't evolved, they probably wouldn't have been of much help to his situation, but things are different now.

Once absorbed, he can not only rebalance the ice and fire attributes in his body, but also use this as an opportunity to undergo another round of ice and fire body tempering, thereby greatly improving his physical qualities on the original basis.

With this plan in mind, Huo Yuhao's retreat was swift, and he quickly created distance between himself and his opponent.

Ma Hongjun was already at the peak of the second-level god realm. Now that he has ignited the flame of life, his strength is no less than that of an ordinary first-level god. He must be careful in dealing with him.

Unexpectedly, Ma Hongjun didn't chase after them. Instead, he grabbed Dai Mubai, who was lying on the ground, and threw him towards Zhu Zhuqing's direction.

"I'll stop him, you guys go find the others!"

"No, no! Fatty, let's go together!"

As he flew backwards through the air, Dai Mubai shook his head in fear. He tried to raise his hand to grab the other person, but could only watch helplessly as the figure receded further and further away from him.

"We're going to find Oscar right now! No, we're going back to the God Realm to find Xiao San, he'll definitely have a way to save you!!! You absolutely mustn't give up!!!"

However, Ma Hongjun simply shook his head.

"No need. Actually, I had thought that this day would come when Xiangxiang was unable to ascend to the God Realm. And I know my own situation; it's too late."

If he were at his peak right now, he might indeed be able to hold on until he returns to the realm of gods and receives rescue. However, he has already undergone Nirvana several times before, and his body is covered with major and minor injuries, so he simply cannot hold on for long.

As he spoke, as if he had thought of something, a carefree smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he shouted behind him.

"Boss Dai, considering how many times you took me to brothels to find girls, it's not a loss that I risked my life to save you this time!"

"If we have the chance, let's be brothers again in our next life, and continue to go to places like that to find girls!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Dai Mubai roared, tears welling in his eyes, "If you still consider me your boss, then come here right now!"

"Sorry, this is the only one that won't work."

The latest novel is first published here!

Gazing at Huo Yuhao, who remained motionless and with an indifferent expression as if watching a farce, his smile slowly faded, and he gently gave him some instructions.

"Zhuqing, take Boss Dai with you."

"Excuse me, I think you might have made a mistake..."

The sudden sound interrupted their conversation. Seeing this touching scene, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but speak up to remind them.

"I don't recall saying the three of you could leave, did I?"

Gazing at the resolute look in Ma Hongjun's eyes, he couldn't help but tilt his head.

"Where do you get the confidence to think you can stop me all by yourself?"

To his surprise, Ma Hongjun did not refute him, but instead nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you were able to defeat even a wisp of Third Brother's soul, so I might not be your match..."

But then, he abruptly changed his tone, his expression turning frantic as he retorted, "But what about this palace, this Star Luo City? The common people living here—I wonder if they can withstand my phoenix flames?"

"Since I'm going to die anyway, it doesn't seem so bad to be able to take so many people down with me before I die."

"..."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, the mockery on his face visibly fading away, replaced by a chilling and austere coldness.

"I've suddenly changed my mind."

"I was originally going to give you a quick death because of your brotherly bond, but as expected, the most ruthless methods are needed to deal with someone like you."

Seeing the two facing off, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. Just as she was about to help Dai Mubai up, he suddenly began to struggle violently as if he were going crazy.

"I'm not leaving! If that little O finds out I abandoned you, who knows what he'll say about me. I'm not going to put up with that."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Zhu Zhuqing expectantly.

"Zhu Qing, use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique! We can win! We can win!"

Through the previous battle, he could sense that the green short blade in Huo Yuhao's hand contained a strong life force. As long as they killed the opponent as soon as possible and snatched that artifact, they might be able to save Ma Hongjun.

Even if this plan fails in the end, they can still kill Huo Yuhao with two first-level god-level combatants and avenge Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong.

Compared to leaving Ma Hongjun alone to cover the retreat, this method is undoubtedly the most suitable.

"."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

At that moment, she truly understood what it meant for plans to fall short of changes, and what it meant to be powerless to control one's own destiny.

But no matter what, she could never abandon her companions with whom she had grown up.

Without saying anything more, she nodded and extended her palm.

"bring it on."
