Chapter 172 Zhao Chenying murders her mother

"Let's give it a try next!"

Zhao Yulin said quickly. Xu Fan's words plus what he learned from Zhao Chenying had frightened him. He was a little unsure of Xu Fan's actual power.

He strongly suspected that Xu Fan and others would be able to snatch the Fire Tribulation Fruit as soon as they made a move. He was unwilling to gamble. Only a small amount of fruit juice was enough to treat his wife's burns. He still had a great use for the remaining fruit, so he was unwilling to give the fruit away just like that.

As Zhao Yulin spoke, he pulled Zhao Chenying's arm and walked two steps towards the Xingyu Tianshu. Suddenly, everyone looked at him with contempt. Is this the only high-level mage? He was so excited by a sentence that he lost his composure.

"We have already failed. What you do has nothing to do with us!"

Nan Yu glanced at Xu Fan who seemed to be blocking his way intentionally or unintentionally and said, while the people from the Hunter Alliance also looked like they were enjoying the show.

"Since you are so anxious to go back, it would be fine to let you try first. However, we have already agreed that you must not arouse the hatred of the Fire Witch!"

Xu Fan said meaningfully that he was clearly just a "mid-level" mage, but now he overwhelmed the high-level mage Zhao Yulin in momentum.

"I understand, I understand!"

Zhao Yulin bowed and smiled, but his smile was a little unnatural. Then he waved to Zhao Chenying, and the three of them walked towards the Star Language Tree. The Fire Witch seemed to have sensed something as well, and she actually stood up and looked from afar.

"What's the matter with you stopping me?"

Nan Yu frowned and was about to find Xu Fan to ask for clarification, but in the blink of an eye Xu Fan was nowhere to be seen. Zhang Xiaohou and He Yu came up to him. They were also military personnel and were the most suitable people to communicate with Nan Yu.

"Humph, Zhao Yulin is probably going to be in trouble. The threat posed by a high-level mage is completely different from that posed by a mid-level mage. She can tolerate our mischief but will never let Zhao Yulin get close to her!"

Minister Liu of the Hunter Alliance sneered, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, waiting for Zhao Yulin to be reduced to ashes by the fire witch's attack.

Of course, in Minister Liu's mind, the best ending was that the Fire Witch was also beaten to death by Zhao Yulin's counterattack, and then they could rely on their numerical advantage to take the Fire Tribulation Fruit.

As the real Jiang Feng, the Fire Witch was naturally excited to see her daughter, but she quickly realized that she was now in a state of neither human nor ghost. When she saw her daughter approaching step by step, she felt a sense of panic in her heart.

As the saying goes, the closer you are to home, the more timid you become. She couldn't bear to let Zhao Chenying know that she was her mother.

Jiang Feng's gaze quickly shifted to Zhao Yulin behind her daughter. That was her husband, but in her heart at this moment, the feelings between husband and wife had already faded to the point of almost non-existence.

Moreover, although the person wrapped in bandages beside Zhao Yulin had kept a distance from Zhao Yulin, she could still see his affection for her from his face, which made Jiang Feng feel even more jealous. She didn't expect that Zhao Yulin had a new love so soon.

After approaching to a certain distance, Zhao Yulin and the other man stopped for two steps. Only Zhao Chenying walked towards the Fire Witch step by step, and the Fire Witch also excitedly greeted her with two steps. Zhao Yulin's eyes lit up, the opportunity had come!

Zhao Chenying raised her eyes and looked at the Fire Witch. Although the flames on the Fire Witch's body had subsided as she approached, and she still couldn't see the Fire Witch's appearance clearly, she could feel a sense of kindness.

The flame witch's eyes full of longing made Zhao Chenying's heart tremble, and for a moment she felt a little reluctant to let her mother's plan go. Zhao Chenying subconsciously looked back at her so-called "mother", and the ghost woman pretending to be Jiang Feng nodded slightly, giving Zhao Chenying great courage.

Although she didn't know how her mother was so sure that the Fire Witch was kind to her, and although she didn't know how her mother was so sure that she could succeed in her sneak attack, at this moment Zhao Chenying thought of the bandages wrapped all over her mother's body, and she was determined to help her mother break free from the torture of the fire poison.

Even if I have to bear the blame!
A trace of determination flashed in Zhao Chenying's eyes, and then she opened her arms towards the Fire Witch. Immediately, the Fire Witch took a step back as if she had been frightened. She had never thought that she would become like this and that there would be a day when she would be able to hug her daughter.

The Fire Witch completely suppressed the flames on her body, then slowly reached out and hugged Zhao Chenying. A drop of water fell on Zhao Chenying's face.

Zhao Chenying was shocked. Could the flame demon actually have tears? But why? Why did the flame demon shed tears?
Zhao Chenying didn't have time to think too much, as a sharp cone made of ice appeared in her hand.

A cold light flashed in Zhao Chenying's eyes. She raised her right hand high and brought it down fiercely, stabbing it directly into the back of the Fire Witch, accurately stabbing her heart. Immediately, a large amount of blood gushed out along the blood groove on the spike, and then turned into flames and dissipated in the air.

After suffering an almost fatal blow, countless flames burst out of the Fire Witch's body, directly covering a distance of dozens of meters, but Zhao Chenying in her arms did not suffer any impact.

This is what a mother is like. Even if her disobedient daughter is deceived and commits the mistake of killing her mother, she is unwilling to vent her anger on her daughter.

"Haha, it's done!"

The ghost woman pushed Zhao Yulin, and Zhao Yulin rushed towards the Star Language Tree with a loud laugh. Although the Fire Witch pushed Zhao Chenying away directly, it was too late. A mental force hindered her for a moment, and she could only watch Zhao Yulin approach the only Fire Tribulation Fruit on the Star Language Tree.

A hint of despair gradually emerged in the eyes of the Fire Witch, a despair far greater than that of her daughter's backstabbing.

But when Zhao Yulin finally reached out for the Fire Tribulation Fruit, he found that a shadow quietly emerged next to the Fire Tribulation Fruit, and a figure walked out of the shadow.

"Go away!"

"Eye of the Rock Demon—Petrified!"

Zhao Yulin was furious. A constellation was looming behind him. Now it was time to harvest, but someone wanted to pick the fruit. He had already decided to kill him.

But what surprised him was that his magic had no effect at all on Xu Fan, a mere mid-level wizard.

"I only have one request, don't die!"

Xu Fan sneered, and a golden spear suddenly appeared in his hand. Xu Fan instantly felt a powerful force blessing him.

Xu Fan shook his wrist, and the spear spun in his hand, then he hit Zhao Yulin's chest hard with the butt of the spear.

Zhao Yulin suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and flew backwards spitting out blood.
