In the black fog that gradually dissipated, two figures standing proudly on the spot after the battle were revealed.
Zhang Yifeng's back was facing the two Fire Kings, and he didn't know what the front looked like at this moment.
On the other hand, Tai Qing, who was opposite him, had a calm expression on his face at this moment, and there was no sign of any injuries on his body.
When the Fire King saw this, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. He looked at Zhang Yifeng's back anxiously and shouted, "Boy Zhang, are you okay?"
Even though the final step is approaching, the Fire King is by no means the one who kills the donkey just to get rid of the trouble.
Even though Zhang Yifeng had some ideological disputes with him before, he had already regarded Zhang Yifeng as his lifelong friend.
At this moment, seeing that Tai Qing was unharmed, Zhang Yifeng turned his back to them and remained motionless, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Don't worry, Senior Fire King, I'm fine."
Finally, Zhang Yifeng's calm voice came to comfort the Fire King to calm down.
Hearing the calmness in Zhang Yifeng's voice, the anxious look in Fire King's eyes eased a little.
As soon as Zhang Yifeng finished speaking, Tai Qing on the opposite side also slowly spoke.
"Mr. Zhang's strength is indeed strong..."
"If I can be defeated by you, I am willing to admit defeat."
After Tai Qing finished speaking, countless cracks broke out in his originally normal body.
In the cracks, the sword light kept flashing inside his body, Taiqing had reached the end.
"Senior Taiqing, go with peace of mind."
"I will let you see the Dark Emperor you really want to see."
Zhang Yifeng stared at Tai Qing who was about to disappear and said in a deep voice.
When Tai Qing heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, which remained unwavering even if he was about to be destroyed.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang has already noticed something."
"But no matter what, I will only be a spectator in the underworld."
After Taiqing finished speaking, his body instantly shattered, and countless sword lights shot into the sky.
In just a few moments, Taiqing turned into debris all over the ground and scattered with the wind.
When the Fire King on the side saw this result, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, great, now the Nine Sons in the Cloud have been defeated."
"Boy Zhang, it's time for us to take the last step!"
The Fire King couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and shouted towards Zhang Yifeng.
"Um……"
Zhang Yifeng was not as excited as the Fire King because he had a feeling that everything could not end so easily.
But looking at the Fire King's current appearance, Zhang Yifeng knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it would be to no avail.
What's more, those flames are all under the control of the Fire King. As long as he doesn't let go, no one can change his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Su, please go take care of Zhirou."
"No matter what happens next, I hope you will treat it with caution."
When Zhang Yifeng was about to leave with the Fire King, he turned around and gave Su Yunshan instructions in a deep voice.
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Su Yunshan's eyes flickered twice.
"Don't worry, she is my adopted sister, and I care about her no less than you do."
"If something goes wrong with you, I will do my best to protect her, even if it costs me my own life!"
Su Yunshan gritted his teeth and replied, his eyes full of determination.
Zhang Yifeng saw that he cared so much about Zhirou's safety, and the last worry in his eyes disappeared.
"Of course, uncle."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled and nodded to him, then he and the Fire King turned into light and headed towards the main hall where the Dark Emperor was.
Su Yunshan didn't react at first. After Zhang Yifeng left, he glanced inexplicably in the direction Zhang Yifeng left.
"Huh, that's quite friendly."
With a soft hum in his mouth, Su Yunshan took one last glance at the only remaining chessboard on the battlefield.
During the fierce battle between Zhang Yifeng and Tai Qing, most of the objects in the palace were completely destroyed by the aftermath.
Only this chessboard seems to have been preserved intentionally by Tai Qing.
"Although I don't know what this thing means to you, but since you and I got to know each other, I will help you keep this thing."
Su Yunshan shook his head, raised his hand to put away the chessboard, and then went to the room where Su Zhirou was imprisoned.
Next, we just have to wait and see how it ends before deciding whether he wants to leave with his adopted sister.
On the other side, Zhang Yifeng and his two men soon arrived at the main hall of the Dark Temple.
The palace at this moment was obviously cooler than the last time Zhang Yifeng came.
What's more, before the two of them entered the palace, they felt a deathly aura coming towards their faces.
The Fire King, who sensed the death aura, seemed to have noticed something and suddenly quickened his pace.
"This Dark Emperor..."
Zhang Yifeng ignored the aura of death in the palace and raised his eyes to look at the seat of the god.
As a result, the Dark Emperor was seen lying on his side on the throne with his eyes closed, and his whole body exuded a strong will to die.
It can be seen that the death energy that filled the palace is overflowing from his body.
"It seems that because the power of the dark space has been repeatedly weakened, he and he don't even have enough energy to maintain life."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice.
"Senior Fire King, since the Dark Emperor is in this posture, let's give him the final blow."
After Zhang Yifeng said this, a glow gathered on the sword in his hand.
This is the perfect time to kill the Dark Emperor.
"No, Zhang Xiaozi!"
When the Fire King saw this, his pupils shrank and he hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Yifeng.
"Senior Fire King, don't you really want to kill the Dark Emperor?"
Zhang Yifeng looked at the Fire King calmly, with no question in his tone.
Regarding the strange things about the Fire King, he has been paying attention to it since he came to the dark space.
Now seeing the Fire King blocking him in front of him, preventing him from killing the Dark Emperor, everything was confirmed.
"Sure enough, I've let you guys see it all, so I won't hide too much from you anymore."
"That's right, I never thought about killing him from the beginning to the end. My real purpose is to free him from the constraints brought to him by the position of the Dark Emperor!"
"If he hadn't been the Dark Emperor, he wouldn't have become what he is now."
"What's more, I should have been the one sitting in his position, and I should repay this karma."
The Fire King looked at Zhang Yifeng solemnly, and raised his hand to retract the flame curtain surrounding him.
Zhang Yifeng looked at the Fire King in front of him, with a flash of deep meaning in his eyes.
Sure enough, the previous feeling was not an illusion, the Fire King's figure was indeed getting taller and taller.
At this time, the Fire King no longer looked like the child who had just broken out of the Snow Kingdom.
Instead, he transformed into a handsome young man of similar height to him and with a somewhat strange appearance.
The flame rune between his eyebrows is now very obvious.
"It seems that this is your true posture, Senior Fire King, right?"
"But have you ever thought that all this is actually a conspiracy of the Dark Emperor? He has long guessed that you will act like this."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled lightly, but turned to look at the dying Dark Emperor on the throne.
