Chapter 1655: Return of the Fire God
Under the effect of the Thorn Counter-Armor, most of the damage dealt to Zhao Dezhu was reflected back onto Gabriel!
Ba Di had once used so much effort just to make Feiyan bleed!
And now, Old Man Zhao had been stabbed straight through, but relying on the counter-damage, he made Gabriel pay the price as well!
His entire arm was dripping with blood!
The Fallen Angel's curse continuously damaged Zhao Dezhu's body, but likewise! The counter-damage effect kept increasing!
Gabriel raised his hand and waved, barely managing to dispel the curse on Zhao Dezhu!
His gaze once again fell on Jiangnan, murderous intent clear!
"Worried about others? Better worry about yourself!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, Gabriel disappeared from his spot. With a flap of his wings, he charged at Jiangnan at extreme speed!
Jiangnan finished his breakthrough and dodged with a teleport, but Gabriel had already turned to follow!
But just then, Zhao Dezhu roared to the sky:
(#•̀口•́) "Old brothers and sisters, a bird-man is bullying our little cub!"
"Old Xiao! Where the fuck have you been?"
With Zhao Dezhu's roar, from the nursing home side, one after another, scarlet gazes lit up!
Rolling waves of murderous intent surged like a tidal wave!
"Did you have to say it? Wrathful Red Lotus!"
A marble-sized crimson fireball forcibly burst out ten white air rings!
The rumbling air bursts connected like thunder!
In an instant, it shot right in front of Gabriel!
Seeing such a small fireball, Gabriel didn't even bother to defend. He simply folded his wings!
He used Black Feather Wing defense!
But the moment the fireball touched the black wings, it fully erupted!
Endless crimson flames surged, completely engulfing Gabriel!
A giant crimson flame lotus with a diameter of thirty thousand meters fully bloomed under the night sky!
The astonishing high temperature warped the void, and the surrounding snow instantly vaporized!
The firelight from the flame lotus dyed half the sky red, clearly visible even in distant Rongcheng!
The ground trembled, magma flew, as if a giant nuclear bomb had exploded before their eyes!
Jiangnan's eyes were full of shock: ∑(°口°๑) "Holy shit!"
Is this Grandpa Xiao's basic attack?
Zhao Dezhu was anxious: (｀益´#) "Old Xiao! Take it easy, damn it! There are still students!"
A few old pioneers quickly ran to the student area to protect the students, so they weren't caught in the explosion!
Sky Island swayed in the astonishing heat wave, as if it might break its chains and drift away at any moment!
Such terrifying commotion alarmed everyone in the academy!
All looked in horror at the firelight at the center of the explosion!
What the hell is going on?
"(ºДº‧̣̥̇) 'South God? This...'"
Jiangnan turned and shouted: (⚆益⚆#) "Stay hidden! Don't come forward! This is a battle we can't intervene in!"
Just then, Xiao Chuihuo came with hands behind his back, surrounded by crimson flames!
His eyebrows and black hair were all crimson fire, a flame robe draped over him, the space around him warped by the high temperature!
Every step he took, the ground beneath his feet melted into magma!
Xiao Chuihuo's eyes were bloodshot, with wild crimson fire burning in their depths!
"Under my nose, you bully my little cub? Do you want to die?"
The firelight dissipated, revealing Gabriel's black wings scorched by the previous fire lotus!
His body also had large areas of burns, now rapidly recovering under the effect of the Undying Phoenix!
In an instant, he was back to normal!
His expression was extremely ugly!
Fucking Igor tricked me again?
Didn't he say there were no experts here? That I could kill freely?
What's with this human?
"I..."
But Xiao Chuihuo's gaze flickered, not giving Gabriel a chance to speak. He stomped his foot, and his crimson fire surged wildly!
"Prairie Fire!"
"Boom!"
Boundless fire spread from under Xiao Chuihuo's feet, forming giant fire waves thousands of meters high!
In an instant, it spread out!
Gabriel glared: "Damn it! Angel Guardian!"
Having suffered from the previous attack, he had to defend!
A massive Fallen Angel phantom suddenly emerged from the void!
It withstood the Prairie Fire without damage!
But at this moment, the ground for tens of thousands of meters around was all ablaze!
Not only covering the entire Pioneer Plain, but also wildly spreading outward!
The vast wilderness, all aflame! This is Prairie Fire!
The roaring flames engulfed all the students present!
No matter how flying rocks and magma fell, they were all vaporized by the high temperature emitted by the flames!
Not a single bit could get through!
And Jiangnan and the others, while inside the flames, felt no heat at all, even a bit cool!
Zhong Yingxue touched the flames, her scalp tingling:
(๑ŏ﹏ŏ๑) "Heavens! What level of fire control ability is this?"
Something similar, Zhong Yingxue could also do, but at best she could only protect Jiangnan alone!
But Grandpa Xiao used this move to protect all the students!
"Willow Shade Fall!"
Liu Cuicui pressed her palms together before her chest, and a giant willow tree phantom emerged!
As willow branches swayed, green light scattered, and the blood hole in Zhao Dezhu's chest rapidly healed!
Gabriel's eyes showed murderous intent: "The person I, Gabriel, want to kill, you can't stop!"
"A human who hasn't even broken the racial limit dares to act wild with me? Hah...!"
But before he finished, Sun Fulai's legs turned into blurs as he charged like a sharp sword!
He leaped up and delivered a demon blade kick to the angel phantom!
His leg was like a blade that could cut through anything!
"Clang!"
With a loud clang, a deep cut was slashed into the fiery plain, even splitting the sea of fire!
But it couldn't break through the Fallen Angel phantom!
However, Sun Fulai didn't give up, kicking so fast his legs blurred, wildly attacking the angel phantom, making it tremble incessantly!
But still couldn't break it!
Gabriel sneered: "See? Even... s-s-s-s~"
Before he finished, a pair of blood-red eyes locked onto him!
Gabriel shuddered, feeling as if he'd fallen into an ice cellar, actually sensing a taste of death!
Instinctively fearful, what kind of murderous intent was this?
Then an extreme sense of humiliation rose. As a perfect angel, how could he fear a human?
Before he could recover, Wang Zong was already charging with his ring-pommel broadsword!
"Decapitation!"
His figure flickered and vanished!
Like galloping thunder, it flashed in an instant!
Leaving only a white light slowly dissipating in the void!
But it only left a very deep cut on the neck of the Fallen Angel phantom!
It was quickly repaired!
Gabriel's face turned slightly pale:
꒰ঌ(‧̣̥̇･ˇᗨˇ･)໒꒱ "Ha! Scaring me? Think I was raised on threats? Even if I stand here and let you hit me, can you break through?"
Wang Zong and Sun Fulai and the others all looked grave!
Xiao Chuihuo narrowed his eyes: "Fall back! This bird-man's level is high. Your attacks aren't strong enough!"
"Can't break through? Then how about this?"
Xiao Chuihuo strode towards Gabriel!
One hand behind his back, the other snapping his fingers repeatedly, quite aggressively!
One after another, crimson fireball marbles shot out with each snap, at astonishing speed!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Each fireball, the moment it touched the Fallen Angel phantom, fully bloomed into a thirty-thousand-meter Wrathful Red Lotus!
Often before the first had fully bloomed, the second already exploded!
Seemingly endless, giving Gabriel no time to catch his breath!
Jiangnan's eyes widened:
∑(❍口❍lll) "Holy crap! Infinite combo? Grandpa Xiao's move really is a basic attack!"
Now Xiao Chuihuo was only at Dao Heaven Nine, yet already possessed such formidable attack power!
He even dared to face Gabriel! If Grandpa Xiao got a power-up, he might be able to suppress this guy!
Jiangnan was about to rush up and turn Xiao Chuihuo into a hacker-level fire!
Just then, a thirty-thousand-meter black grand array unfolded!
"Foolish human! You don't understand at all! Let me show you what disparity means!"
"Shadow Mire!"
The grand array instantly enveloped Xiao Chuihuo's figure, countless shadow hands reaching for him!
The Xiao Chuihuo who had been continuously unleashing Wrathful Red Lotus suddenly went silent!
Jiangnan quickly warned: "This array can seal techniques! Without a domain, it can't be broken! Be careful!"
Likewise, Gabriel didn't give Xiao Chuihuo a chance!
"Judgment Blade!"
Two giant black sword phantoms, each over thirty thousand meters, crossed together!
They shot out from the light array above, slashing down at Xiao Chuihuo in the center!
"Boom!"
The ground shattered in patches from the Judgment Blade's terrifying attack power, bedrock slabs lifting up!
Qin Shou and the others turned pale, lips dry!
What level of battle is this!
This kind of monster actually came specifically to kill South God?
It's not easy for him to survive till now!
At Diamond rank, he's being assassinated by such a monster? Does it have to be this hard? The fucking script didn't write it like this either!
Jiangnan's heart was also in his throat!
Technique sealed, enduring Judgment Blade head-on, can he survive?
Indeed! Even with a gap, can't ignore this level difference?
This Shadow Mire without a domain is simply unsolvable!
Gabriel sneered: "Now! You've paid the price for your ignorance and stupidity!"
But just then, a casual voice sounded from behind him!
"Hey hey hey! Young man! Where are you looking?"
Even as Gabriel stabbed down, the blazing flames on the plain did not extinguish!
Endless flames gathered, forming a figure made entirely of fire!
Gabriel whipped around, pupils constricting: "Impossible! This..."
Xiao Chuihuo said calmly: "Did I say that was me just now? I've seen sealed technique situations many times, suffered losses before."
"When you don't know the opponent's full capabilities, it's better to keep a few tricks up your sleeve."
"You know why I used Prairie Fire? A wide-area technique with no damage? Hah~"
"Prairie Fire! All crimson flames are me!"
"Too bad... the range of your crappy mire isn't as large as my Prairie Fire!"
Jiangnan's face was red with excitement. Grandpa Xiao was awesome, truly an old hand! His combat experience was extraordinary!
Xiao Chuihuo's eyes narrowed slightly: "I've been dormant too long! Now! It's my turn!"
At this moment, the flame-form Xiao Chuihuo began to grow wildly!
The blazing flames on the plain all became his nourishment!
Liu Cuicui raised her arm and shouted: "Wind! Strong wind!"
Immediately, several old pioneers unleashed hurricanes within the Prairie Fire, wind aiding the fire, flames blazing wildly!
Even forming over a dozen spectacular sky-reaching fire tornadoes!
Xiao Chuihuo's body grew crazily! Ten thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters!
Finally forming a fire giant thirty thousand meters tall! The giant's face was exactly Xiao Chuihuo's!
Clad in highly condensed crimson flame armor! Behind him, eight flame banners spread like a fan, fluttering in the sky!
The character 'Fire' on the banners was dazzling!
The ground beneath his feet melted, space warped by the heat, flames raged, fire tornadoes rampaged!
And amidst the sky and earth, a giant fire god clad in red armor emerged, his eyes blazing wildly!
"Fire God - Great Flame Emperor!"
The mountains burned! Magma boiled!
Jiangnan's eyes widened, face full of shock as he looked up at Xiao Chuihuo, his whole body numb!
(꒪ͦ口꒪ͦ٥)
This... is the Fire God?
Zhao Dezhu's eyes reflected the firelight, a smile on his lips!
"Old Fire God... has returned."
