Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 102 I'd rather die than live as a cripple!

A flash of silver light appeared in the main hall, and everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.

Once the stinging sensation subsided, everyone lowered their hands, their expressions suddenly turning grim.

In the center of the hall.

Tang Huo'er remained in the same posture, sitting cross-legged, but several silver dragons surrounded her, their expressions ferocious and terrifying, baring their fangs and claws at those around them.

Centered on Tang Huo'er, the surrounding ground gradually became scorched, dry, and cracked.

If it weren't for Tang Huo'er's fighting spirit, everyone believed that the silver dragons would have pounced on them.

"Fire!"

In the dead silence, a sorrowful cry rang out, and Tang Zhen flashed to Tang Huo'er's side.

However, before he could get close, a silver dragon shot towards him like an arrow.

Tang Zhen created distance to dodge, his right fingertips clenched tightly, a spell running continuously on them.

The Nine Dragons Thunderfire has always been controlled by the Burning Flame Valley, and its mark has long been left within its body.

Therefore, Tang Zhen could calm the raging Nine Dragons Thunderfire at any time, as long as he wished.

However, this also means that Tang Huo'er's fusion attempt failed.

"No, we can't stop." Tang Zhen hesitated, his right hand trembling. "To fuse with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, we need to use our own life force to activate it. If we stop, it means that the life force released by Huo'er will be swallowed up by the Nine Dragons Thunderfire."

Given this situation, we will face a certain predicament for a long time to come.

Without a remedy to resolve the hidden dangers remaining in the body, there is nothing left but to wait for death.

The guests in the room dared not even breathe; no one had expected such an accident.

The matter now concerns Tang Huo'er's life or death, and they do not want to incur Tang Zhen's wrath because of their words or actions.

Am I going to die...? A sense of despair rose in Tang Huo'er's heart.

She could feel the fighting spirit within her body rapidly dissipating, and she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

The life force she released had already flowed into the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, and now that the flames were out of control, she had no way to take them back.

If this continues, it won't be long before Father takes action to suppress the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.

At that time, one's own vitality will not be able to return, and even if one survives, it will only delay the time of death.

Thinking of this, Tang Huo'er felt even more desperate. If she had any other choice, she would rather live.

"Damn it!" Tang Zhen stomped his foot on the ground, looking at Tang Huo'er with her brows furrowed and a look of pain on her face.

There's no way to tame a strange fire; its terrifying and bizarre nature makes it impossible.

Even the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, which has been passed down in the Burning Flame Valley for a long time, can only be forcibly suppressed if it goes out of control during the fusion process.

We can't wait any longer, or Huo'er will suffer a severe backlash from the Nine Dragons Thunderfire!

Tang Zhen steeled his resolve, flipped his right hand upward, and prepared to use methods to suppress the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.

"Wait a minute, Valley Master!" Just then, Tang Zhen heard a voice and then saw Elder Chi Yan rush into the main hall.

Tang Zhen grabbed his collar: "Elder Chi Yan, what other ideas do you have?"

Elder Chi Yan glanced at Tang Huo'er, who was enveloped in the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, and reminded her, "Valley Master, do you still remember the contents of that piece of paper?"

"Of course, it's that damned guy who dared to curse my Huo'er! Guards! Guards! Go outside and drag that guy in. I'll teach him a lesson about what it means to have trouble with your words!" Tang Zhen roared angrily.

This scene, witnessed by the surrounding guests, elicited strange reactions from everyone.

Good guy!

Today is an important day for Burning Flame Valley, yet someone dared to curse Tang Zhen's daughter, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley.

It seems she hasn't deliberately avoided it; in fact, she's even actively letting Tang Zhen know?!

Everyone couldn't help but recall the scene not long ago when Tang Zhen flew into a rage outside the main hall.

No wonder he was so angry. Imagine, the young master of Burning Flame Valley is about to fuse with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, and suddenly someone comes and curses him, saying that he will not succeed and is destined to fail, so give up.

Anyone would find it hard to tolerate this.

"Yes, Valley Master, Chi Huo obeys!"

From the crowd, an elder stepped forward, his face grim, and prepared to leave the main hall to capture the person who had cursed the young master and teach him a lesson.

"Halt!" Chi Yan roared at Chi Huo's retreating figure, then looked at Tang Zhen, who was still furious. "Valley Master, calm down. I understand your concern for the Young Valley Master, but please carefully recall the contents of that piece of paper!!"

The contents of the paper? Tang Zhen's furious expression subsided slightly, and he frowned.

Suddenly, he raised his head and stared at Elder Chi Yan: "He said he has a way? Isn't that right? You saw it too, isn't that sentence in the text?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Tang Zhen remembered that the paper not only said that Huo'er's fusion would fail and that she would suffer a backlash from the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, but it also said that he had a way to solve it.

At that time, Tang Zhen never imagined that Tang Huo'er would fail to fuse.

Elder Chi Yan nodded emphatically: "Valley Master, it's not too late to go find him! We still have time!"

"Chi Yan, be careful not to be used. The Nine Dragons Thunderfire is one of the treasures of our Burning Flame Valley. Our Burning Flame Valley has been passed down for thousands of years and has so many marks engraved on it. Even we can still encounter accidents. How could an outsider possibly solve it?" Elder Chi Yan calmly analyzed. "Valley Master, let me go and capture him. You should suppress the Nine Dragons Thunderfire and protect the young Valley Master."

Upon hearing Elder Chi Huo's words, Tang Zhen's expression changed. Indeed, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was something that our Burning Flame Valley had been dealing with the longest. Even we couldn't solve it, so it was impossible for an outsider to do it.

Immediately, Tang Zhen pushed aside Elder Chi Yan who was blocking his way and prepared to suppress the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.

Elder Chi Huo glanced coldly at the distraught Elder Chi Yan, then prepared to capture him.

"don't want!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out, trembling as if resisting some kind of pain.

"Huo'er." Tang Zhen looked at his daughter, whose face was full of pain, but who was slowly opening her eyes. A resolute look appeared in her pained eyes.

Tang Huo'er said, "Father, I want to try! If it doesn't work, I'd rather die than live as a cripple!"

As Tang Zhen's daughter, and the young master of the valley in other people's eyes, Tang Huo'er has her own pride.

If one cannot fuse with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, it is better to die directly than to be saved, lose life, and wait for death.

Tang Zhen wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but when he met Tang Huo'er's stubborn gaze and the determination with which she gritted her teeth and forced her eyes open, he was met with resistance.

In the end, Tang Zhen softened.

"Elder Chi Huo, take some men and guard the young master here." Tang Zhen gave the order first, then grabbed Elder Chi Yan's clothes and, with him, moved like a streak of light towards the passage of Burning Flame Valley.

In mid-air, Tang Zhen turned back and gazed at the fiery red hall, murmuring with a mixture of prayer and helplessness, "Huo'er, you must hold on. I will bring him back to see you soon."

Tang Zhen, unleashing his full power, moved with incredible speed, causing Elder Chi Yan's hair to flutter behind his head in the fierce wind.

Stepping out of the cave, Tang Zhen anxiously asked, "Chi Yan, where is he? Point him out to me quickly!"
