I'm a fire god in Konoha

The sword is sheathed.

The biting sword intent on the eight tails suddenly withdrew and turned into a peaceful and transparent aura.

"Ahem, you win, Niu Gui. Now I have no strength at all." Chong Li said weakly.

Today, Chong Li is at the end of his strength. The flames that sacrificed his soul have exhausted all his strength, but he failed to kill the eight tails instantly.

Although he had gained an advantage in the duel, the Eight-Tails still had the strength to take action, but he was already in a state of almost running out of gas.

At this moment, the Eight-Tails broke through the inner demons and became stronger. If it wanted to kill Chong Li and Ru Yue, it would be easy.

But at this moment, the eight-tailed ox-ghost has given up on killing in his heart.

"I did win, but what I won was my own inner demon. If you hadn't warned me, I would have fallen into the realm of inner demons and become a walking zombie who only knows killing. You are right, strong man, from now on Don’t care about the shame on you.”

"For five hundred years, I thought I was strong and could easily withstand the boundless desolation and loneliness, but I still fell into the murderous inner demon of fighting for honor and disgrace. In the past five hundred years, I have forged the eighth sword more than a thousand times but never succeeded. . Now I know that the strength of a warrior does not lie in one more sword or one less sword, but in the strength of his heart."

Bawei put down Chongli and sat cross-legged on the ground. Nowadays, it no longer looks like a bloody god and demon, but more like a swordsman who has emerged from the dust.

"I will continue to hone my strength and go to fight against the sacred tree. But this time, it is not revenge, just to hone my fighting spirit and simply want to fight. As for you, you can pass this high-level battle at will. Lao Zhuang’s barrier. But I still want to remind you to be careful about that monkey."

Chong Li's face was pale, and he was still shaking even when he was sitting on the ground. Fortunately, Ruyue had already come from the side and reached out to support him from behind.

"Monkey, is it the four-tailed beast? Is it more difficult to deal with than you and the seven-tailed beast? If I remember correctly, the more tails a tailed beast has, the more powerful it is." Chong Li asked.

"The tailed beasts you are talking about are just our phantom clones left in the outside world. In fact, the strength of our tailed beasts is not divided based on the number of tails. The reason why Ichibi Shukaku fell into the wilderness is also related to his deserted sand attribute. Even without this five-hundred-year guarding barrier, he would probably have fallen into a desolate situation."

"I haven't seen it for five hundred years, and I don't know what is happening to that monkey now. But one thing I can be sure of is that among the three remaining tailed beasts, it is definitely the most dangerous. Nanao Shigeaki and Erwei Mataru Their personalities are much calmer than mine, but monkeys’ temperaments have always been unpredictable.”

"From the moment I first met him, he was the smartest and most unruly one among us. Sometimes he was like a child, sometimes like a madman..."

Listening to Niu Gui's description of the monkey, Zhong Li's eyelids became heavier and heavier. The overdraft of the battle finally made Zhong Li unable to hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Opening his eyes again, Chong Li found himself lying on a bed. The quilt was soft and very comfortable.

He sat up slowly and found that there was no one else in the room. The sound of swords clashing in the yard could be heard in his ears.

After getting out of bed, Chong Li suddenly found that he had an extra set of clothes on him, the size was just right.

"Damn, I finally have something to wear."

He moved his body, and although he was still very weak, he would not faint again.

Opening the door, it was mid-morning, and Chongli saw Ruyue practicing swordsmanship with Eight-Tails in the yard.

The two of them were just exchanging ideas with each other, not dangerous at all. When they saw Zhong Li pushing the door open and coming out, they stopped.

"You're awake and you look much better." Ruyue put away her soft sword and walked over.

Although Chong Li's face is still a little pale now, he is no longer as scary as he was after the battle just now.

The eight-tailed ox-ghost also put away his sharp blade and walked over. The wound on Ushiuki's chest has almost healed. It has to be said that the tailed beast's recovery ability is indeed very strong, and it is also full of energy when it speaks at this moment.

Uchiha Shigeori said: "Uchiha Shigeri, it seems that you have recovered a bit, but if you are going to the Flame Mountain, I suggest you adjust to the best condition before setting off."

"In the duel between the two of us, what you can win depends on your terrifying power of fire, the breath of Li Huo. However, if you still want to rely on the power of Li Huo to get through the Flame Mountain, it is equivalent to Seeking death."

"Because the power of Nanao Chongming is Lihuo. I have always suspected that your Lihuo was obtained from the inheritance left by Chongming in the world. And your power of Lihuo is far behind compared to it. You The flames cannot hurt it at all." Niu Gui said.

"Can it hurt you?" Chong Li suddenly asked.

Niu Gui was stunned and replied: "No."

"I can."

Chong Li smiled casually and walked towards the courtyard.

"My Lihuo is inherited from the distant Dragon Kingdom, where there is also an auspicious beast called Chongming. Although Nanao's name is also called Chongming, it also has powerful flames. But since I have no possibility of turning back, I won't Stop."

"I can hurt you, but I can also defeat it."

As a Chongming bird, having a crown on its head is a virtue; being able to fight with a distance behind its feet is a martial virtue; daring to fight in front of the enemy is a brave virtue; having food to greet others of its kind is a virtue; keeping watch at night without losing time, the dawn announces. It is faith.

The bird of Chongming is like a phoenix, how can it be compared to a beetle-tailed beast?

"Chong Li, don't be like this. The Niu Gui also has good intentions. It wants us to learn swordsmanship from it. If we can practice sword energy, we will be very sure to win." Ruyue said.

"How long does it take to cultivate sword energy?"

Ru Yue was stunned and muttered: "As little as three to five years, as many as..."

Chong Li turned around, looked at Ru Yue and said with a smile: "If it's more, there will be no hope in life, right?"

Then he bowed to the eight tails and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the journey of swordsmanship is too long, and I can't wait."

How could Chongli not know the good intentions of Yatsuo and Kisaragi? But when fighting Shukaku and Gyuki, Chongli used forbidden techniques twice. Now that his life span has consumed the remaining thirteen years, if he is still here What fun is there in learning swordsmanship and walking in life?

He didn't want to delay any longer.

What's more, Zhong Li spent his whole life mastering the Breath of Li Huo. Now he encounters another tailed beast who uses Li Huo. How can he retreat without a fight?

He immediately rejected the Eight-Tails' opinion and rested for two more days to recuperate his energy and build up his fighting spirit.

Early this morning, the sun was rising. Chongli did not notify Ruyue, leaving only a note, then stepped out of Gaolaozhuang and walked straight to the Flame Mountain alone.

He didn't want to abandon Kisaragi and leave alone, but he had already calculated that since the remaining three tailed beasts had the power of fire, only he could possibly break through the Flame Mountain.

......

The Flame Mountain is not a mountain, on the contrary, it is a canyon like a deep crack.

In the rift valley, there is an endless, blazing flame.

There is no trace of life on the edge of the rift valley. The few plants have long since died, and the entire soil is full of desolation.

Chong Li stood on the edge of the rift valley and saw that the valley was burning. It was Li Huo that was very similar to the aura in his body.

Chong Li let out a long roar, and flames spread all over his body.

The flames in the rift suddenly trembled violently, and a huge red beetle flapped its wings and flew out, its body also burning with golden Lihuo.

Nanao, Shigeaki.

"Who are you and why are you here?"
