Chapter 1261 Battle Saint Envoy
"I am a man without much backbone, and I fear death, so I always make preparations to survive. But it seems, Saint Envoy, that you have already resigned yourself to death," Su Chengyu said without an ounce of courtesy, knowing that his conflict with Red Flame had reached a point beyond any hope of reconciliation.
"Hmph! Sharp-tongued brat, I should have killed you back at Mount Qianhe!" Red Flame Holy Envoy’s eyes glinted with killing intent, and his True Qi involuntarily leaked out, noticeably raising the temperature around them.
Hearing the Red Flame Holy Envoy mention the past, Su Chengyu immediately showed a hint of fear: "Indeed, if the Red Flame Holy Envoy had killed me as effortlessly as you did that Dragon Soul Department’s envoy back then, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be standing here today."
"Killed the Dragon Soul Department’s envoy? Red Flame Holy Envoy, what is this about?" Zhuang Yihan frowned upon hearing this and immediately turned his gaze to Red Flame.
Red Flame was caught off guard by Su Chengyu bringing up the past at this time, but knowing that what he did to the Dragon Soul Department’s envoy was true, there was no point in denying it, so he simply spoke up.
"At Mount Qianhe, when I was eliminating the remnants of Qingqiu, I did indeed accidentally injure the Dragon Soul Department’s envoy, but it was absolutely not intentional. This fellow is merely trying to stir up trouble between the Demon Slayer Department and the Dragon Soul Department!" Red Flame declared.
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu sneered, "Whether it’s a fabricated charge or you’re trying to silence someone permanently, you know the truth in your heart, Saint Envoy."
"Hmph, it’s an old matter. Even if I did make a mistake back then, after killing you, I would naturally have given the Dragon Soul Department an explanation!" Red Flame, not wanting to dwell on the issue, quickly assumed responsibility.
After all, it was just the killing of a Dragon Soul Department’s envoy; Red Flame was averse to trouble, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t handle.
Hearing Red Flame speak this way, Zhuang Yihan really couldn’t say much more. With a life-and-death fight imminent, it wasn’t appropriate for him to take Red Flame away directly.
Moreover, he understood that even if Su Chengyu’s accusations were true, it was far from enough to take Red Flame down.
