第77章 "Fiery Betrayal Ignites"

**77 Chapter: The Blaze of Fury**

Lin Feng's words had sparked a fire within Little Fifth, and the flames of indignation were spreading rapidly. His face turned beet red as he took a step forward, his fists clenched into tight balls.

"You dare to question my loyalty?" Little Fifth's voice was a low growl, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity.

Lin Feng sneered, his own anger matching Little Fifth's. "I should have known better. You were always slippery, always hiding something. But I never thought you'd betray me like this."

Little Fifth's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "I didn't betray you, Lin Feng. I just... adjusted my priorities."

Lin Feng's laughter was like a crack of thunder. "Adjusted priorities? You call deceiving me, selling me out to the Red Scale Clan, 'adjusted priorities'? You're not even worthy of being called a friend."

The air was thick with tension as the two former allies glared at each other. The once-strong bond between them was now strained to the breaking point.

Little Fifth's face contorted, his eyes flashing with anger. "You have no right to judge me, Lin Feng. You're just a naive little boy, playing at being a hero. You don't know the first thing about the world."

Lin Feng's eyes flared with fury. "I know that I can trust no one, not even my own friends. And I know that I'll never forgive you for what you've done."

The words hung in the air like a challenge, like a gauntlet thrown down. And Little Fifth, fueled by his own anger and desperation, snarled, "Fine. Then let's settle this once and for all."

With a swift motion, Little Fifth drew his sword, the blade glinting in the fading light. Lin Feng responded with a fierce cry, summoning the dragon's blood within him. The air seemed to crackle with energy as the two former friends faced off, their eyes locked in a fierce stare.

And in that instant, the fate of their friendship hung in the balance, like a scale trembling on the edge of destruction.
