My Disciples Are All Villains

Mount Halcyon and the island trembled.

In just a blink of an eye, Ling Guang had flown out of the underground palace. His wings left a 30,000-meter-long flaming ditch on the ground. When he flew into the sky, he lit up the entire island. Nothing could stand in his path as he swooped forward. In just a breath's time, it appeared above Si Wuya, Yang Liansheng, and the Halcyon Bird.

Flames burned in the night sky as Ling Guang flew past Si Wuya, Yang Liansheng, and the Halcyon Bird.

"Arghh!" In just a moment, Yang Liansheng was swallowed by the flames.

Mount Halcyon was drowning in a sea of fire in just a moment. The rocks sizzled as they burned.

Liang Guang folded his wings and looked down at everyone with burning eyes.

Yang Liansheng continued crying out in pain. The flames at his clothes and flesh. His body was charred black.

Swoosh!

Yang Liansheng endured the pain and flew up into the sky. "Ling Guang! You're truly a demon!"

Ling Guang did not say anything. He looked like a shooting star as he shot out and punched with his flaming fist.

Bang!

"Argh! My arm!" Yang Liansheng's arm broke.

The flames on Ling Guang's body were different from the Fire Phoenix that was bathed in flames. Ling Guang's flames only burned around the edges.

Smoke rose in the sky as flames continued to burn as Ling Guang flew up, down, back, front, left, and right around Yang Liansheng. Each of his attacks landed on Yang Liansheng's vital points.

In less than the time it took to finish a pot of tea, Yang Liansheng's body was already riddled with bloody holes. Flames devoured him as he fell to the ground.

Ling Guang flashed again and arrived above the Halcyon Bird. He still did not speak. He glanced at Si Wuya, who was untouched by the flames, before it looked at the Halcyon Bird.

The Halcyon Bird let out a strange cry. It spread its wings slightly and said in human language, "Ling Guang."

Ling Guang finally spoke. "Why?"

"You've been sealed for so many years. Do you think you're as powerful as before?!"

Swoosh!

The Halcyon Bird spread its wings and flew into the sky toward Ling Guang.

Meanwhile, Si Wuya who was surrounded by flames looked at the battle above him. If the Halcyon Bird had used only 10% of its strength at the White Tower Council, it was using all of its strength to fight now.

With his cultivation base, Si Wuya could not fully capture the duo's movements. He could only hear the sounds of collisions and the sound of the void ripping.

Flickering flames sometimes appeared on the left, right, up, and down.

The entire sky was the battlefield for Ling Guang and the Halcyon Bird.

This greatly overturned Si Wuya's worldview. He suddenly realized how insignificant humans were. It was as though everything in the world was stronger than the humans. He had heard Mingshi Yin describe their master's battle with the divine beast, the Fire Phoenix. He could also imagine how magnificent it must have been when the Fire Phoenix unleashed its ultimate move. However, witnessing the battle before his eyes, made him shiver.

"So this is the Vermilion Bird Deity?" Si Wuya's eyes burned bright as images from his dreams flashed in his mind.

Flames, wings, the Fire Deity.

Death, corpses, and rivers of blood.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After some time, the dark sky was once again lit up by Ling Guang's wings. When he flapped his wings, flames fell down like a waterfall.

The island and the mountain burned along with the Halcyon Divine Bird.

The Halcyon Bird cried out sorrowfully, "Ling Guang!"

The flames burned the Halcyon Bird's feathers off, angering it to the extreme.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, silence and darkness returned.

Ling Guang and the Halcyon Bird were nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on?" Si Wuya was puzzled. Even if Ling Guang and the Halcyon Bird's powers were beyond his understanding, they could not have disappeared so suddenly without him noticing. He struggled to sit up as he waved his hand over the flames. He discovered the flames did not harm him.

"Could it be that those dreams were real?" Si Wuya frowned, unwilling to believe it. He raised his head to look at the empty sky and muttered, "It doesn't make sense."

As soon as Si Wuya's voice fell, a loud bang resonated in the sky.

Ling Guang and the Halcyon Bird reappeared again, fighting in the sky.

The Halcyon Bird was on the left. It emitted a golden light as a huge bird-like avatar filled the sky.

"This…" Si Wuya felt his hair stand on end.

Ling Guang stood on the right with an avatar that shone dazzlingly.

'Aren't avatars unique to humans?!'

Boom!

The duo collided again before flying back for 10,000 feet at the same time.

Despite being in a sorry state, the Halcyon Bird's eyes gleamed with undying killing intent. "You're no longer the Ling Guang of the past."

"You're no longer the Halcyon Bird of the past as well," Ling Guang said indifferently. Then, he seemed to have turned into a shooting star as he shot toward the Halcyon Bird. It was determined to destroy the Halcyon Bird this time and make sure it could not return to life.

However, Ling Guang did not expect that the Halcyon Bird did not fight back. Instead, it swooped toward Si Wuya. "Die!"

Ling Guang unfurled his wings that shone brilliantly. When he flapped his wings, blood dripped down from his body turning into a rain of flames.

The space seemed to have frozen.

Ling Guang had used his life as the price and used a technique from the great law to forcefully freeze space so he could arrive in front of the Halcyon Bird.

Bang!

As the Halcyon Bird flew back, it felt its bones shattering. A gurgling noise rang from its mouth.

Bang!

The Halcyon Bird landed on the ground and slid back, leaving a 10,000-foot-long ravine.

"You crazy…" The Halcyon Bird said before it stopped abruptly. It no longer moved.

The battle did not last long. However, every time they attacked, the force shook the world. It made people shudder and sigh in amazement at the same time.

Si Wuya suppressed the shock in his heart as he looked at the back of Ling Guang's tall and muscular figure.

Ling Guang did not move for a long time.

When the flames on Ling Guang's body suddenly went out, Si Wuya finally realized that something was wrong. He endured the pain and dragged himself until he arrived in front of Ling Guang. His eyes widened when he saw Ling Guang seemed to have turned to stone again.

Ling Guang stood unmoving with his fist raised in the air.

Si Wuya crawled forward and said agitatedly, "No, you can't die! You can't die!"

Si Wuya forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood and smeared on Ling Guang's body. Seeing that it did not work, he spat out another mouthful of blood again. Finally, he saw a weak light flickering in Ling Guang's eyes.

After a moment, Ling Guang unclenched his hand and pointed at Si Wuya. The weak light in his eyes gradually dimmed as he said, "Don't… waste your energy."

"You're the Vermilion Bird King, and the Fire Deity, right? Who am I?" Si Wuya asked. One of the reasons he came here was to look for the answer to this question.

Ling Guang stared at Si Wuya. At this time, he was slowly turning into stone again, starting from his feet.

Si Wuya said anxiously, "Hurry up and answer me! Who am I? Where's the Great Void?"

At this time, the petrification had already spread from Ling Guang's waist to his chest and to his back.

Si Wuya was unwilling to give up. He made a cut on his wrist, smearing blood on Ling Guang again.

Ling Guang shook his head slightly as his eyes slowly turned lifeless. He said, "Good, very good… Live on…"

Then, Ling Guang's right hand fell on top of Si Wuya's head. At this time, he completely turned to stone again.

Crack!

Ling Guang crumbled and turned into a pile of sand and dust on the ground.
