Chapter 5518 Feeling Despair

The secret room under the Imperial Palace is the greatest secret of the Emperor's life. No one except him knows of its existence.

But this imperial teacher, who was wrapped in black mist all day long, was able to sneak into him silently.

Even though the emperor had been going in and out of the secret room for many years, he had never seen any trace left by the other party.

Even though he was terrified, the emperor still suppressed his doubts and said in a deep voice: "Then I will rely on the Imperial Master."

"Your Majesty is serious."

The Imperial Master's tone remained calm, and after responding he turned into black mist and flew upwards.

Looking at the departing figure of the Imperial Master, a look of horror suddenly flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Could it be that the Imperial Master is actually..."

Being in the secret room, the emperor didn't dare to reveal what he was thinking.

But considering that what he thought was true, the emperor's hair suddenly stood on end.

The Fire King in front of the dragon throne on the other side noticed that the black-armored soldiers who had just been rushing towards the curtain of fire suddenly retreated in unison.

"Why, are you finally scared?"

The Fire King said this with a look of indifference on his face, as he was tired of this scene that was like a moth to a flame.

While he was speaking, Zhang Yifeng, who was concentrating on breaking the formation, suddenly had a look in his eyes.

"Senior, watch your step!"

The moment Zhang Yifeng finished speaking, a black gas emanated from the cracks in the bricks under the Fire King's feet and turned into a rope that tightly wrapped around his ankles.

"So you have changed your tactics, but this little trick is nothing against me!"

A blazing flame flashed in the Fire King's eyes, and a huge burst of fire exploded from his body, burning all the black air wrapped around his ankles.

"This kind of breath..."

The Fire King looked down at the black tentacles that were being burned but still remained, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

"Master Fire King, long time no see."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind the Fire King.

Then countless black gases poured out from the cracks in the bricks, including the burning black tentacles, and gathered together.

The imperial teacher, who was wrapped in black mist, appeared before the two of them.

"You are... Taiqing?!"

Feeling the familiar yet extremely strange dark aura from the person in front of him, the Fire King shouted in shock.

"I never thought that Lord Fire King still remembered me after so many years. I am truly honored."

Tai Qing bowed his head slightly and spoke respectfully to the Fire King.

"Why are you still alive? With your life span, you should have died ten thousand years ago!"

The Fire King asked with a somewhat agitated look on his face, his clenched fists representing his inner uneasiness.

Zhang Yifeng had never seen the Fire King so excited, but everything must be related to the mysterious man in front of him who was surrounded by black mist.

Judging from the conversation between the Fire King and him, the two seemed to know each other.

When Zhang Yifeng thought of this, his eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that this mysterious man named Taiqing might have a close connection with the Dark Emperor.

"Master Fire King, you don't know that after the God Ancestor sealed you away, he decided to lead the people of the Kingdom of God to a higher path."

"Under the power of Master Divine Ancestor, I have now completely gotten rid of that useless body and become a great, immortal being!"

Taiqing's tone always maintained a sense of ups and downs, like a sophisticated machine.

“Is this the path we’ve finally taken?”

The Fire King lowered his head and let out an unwilling growl through his teeth.

"Master Fire King, may I ask why you followed this group of people to the Tianyu Empire after breaking the seal?"

"As long as you leave now, my Lord God Ancestor will not blame you."

"After all, the Divine Ancestor and you..."

Tai Qing said in a calm tone.

But before he could finish his words, a beam of fire rushed straight towards Taiqing's face.

Taiqing's head was immediately wrapped in flames, and the words he couldn't say were forced back.

"Shut up!"

Veins bulged on the Fire King's forehead, and the raging flames around his body proved how angry he was at the moment.

"Well, it's a shame you ended up making this choice."

"It is an honor to see you again. Now please go to your death, my lord."

Tai Qing raised his hand, grabbed the burned part of his head, and pulled it hard to throw his head aside.

As the flames burned, the black mist in the shape of a head gradually turned into black gas, and then flowed into Taiqing's body again.

In the blink of an eye, a complete head wrapped in black mist grew back from Taiqing's severed head.

The Fire King's eyes twitched slightly twice, and he glared at Tai Qing in front of him.

But the next moment, Taiqing's entire body exploded, and countless black air filled the entire imperial palace in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yifeng, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the dragon throne, suddenly felt a sense of crisis coming from all directions.

It seemed as if the attack would come to him in the next second.

"Strange means."

Zhang Yifeng's eyes flickered twice, and he finally stopped breaking the formation and stood up.

"Senior Fire King, it seems that this ghost thing is the real dark warrior you mentioned, right?"

"This kind of weird method really makes people have to be extremely alert to deal with it."

Even when facing danger, Zhang Yifeng remained calm.

"Yes, this thing is different from the defective ones before."

"In my current state, the effect my flames can have on him is extremely limited."

"And the biggest difference between the dark warriors and those defective ones is that they have intelligence and will not blindly launch attacks."

"He is now spreading his body to any corner of this temple and may attack us at any time."

The Fire King spoke in a serious tone, this calm and composed look was very different from his usual casual attitude.

The most important thing is that the Fire King speaks eloquently to prove it.

The information Zhang Yifeng learned from him about the Dark Emperor was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

"Don't be distracted, be careful."

"Once this matter is over, I will tell you everything you want to know!"

The Fire King shouted coldly.

"Fire King Senior is such a good disguise!"

Zhang Yifeng chuckled, and a serious look appeared in his eyes.

The two swords in his hands appeared, and he observed his surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, countless tentacles condensed from black air flew out from the darkness and attacked the two of them.

Zhang Yifeng crossed the two swords in his hands and slashed out sword energy, quickly cutting off all the attacking tentacles.

Before he could ask about the Fire King's situation, a sense of crisis came from all directions at the same time.

Countless black tentacles came like an overwhelming force, and tentacles kept appearing no matter if they were far away or close by.

Even if Zhang Yifeng cut off these tentacles, they would immediately gather again in the air and turn into new tentacles to attack.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yifeng couldn't take care of the Fire King at all.

"Sink into darkness and feel the despair carefully."

Taiqing's voice echoed in Zhang Yifeng's ears.
