830. Result of the fight
As the blade fell, the inky power and the azure ice crystals intertwined, as if time itself had paused for a moment.
With a single slash, Ling Fengzhui cleaved the second layer of the Crimson Tide in two. The unstoppable momentum of Ling Fengzhui's attack was far beyond what the Crimson Tide, whose power had not yet reached its peak, could match.
Where the blade flashed, the raging lava energy seemed to have encountered its natural enemy, instantly losing all its vitality and being forcibly pulverized by the inky and eerie blue power. The giant wave, cleaved in two, collapsed instantly as if it had lost all its strength, transforming into countless streams of dark red, scorching fire that helplessly plummeted towards the sky and earth on either side. The already scorched sand dunes below were ravaged once more, countless deep craters punched out by the molten lava fragments, billowing thick smoke.
And then, the third layer was cleaved open!
The fourth layer was cleaved open!
The fifth layer was cleaved open!
As expected, Ling Fengzhui's slash broke through the first five layers of the Crimson Tide released by Xiao Yan in succession. Even on the surface, it still seemed to maintain its momentum and lock onto Xiao Yan's threat. The feeling of the slash energy was becoming more and more obvious.
However, Xiao Yan, as the direct opponent, could still feel that as Ling Fengzhui's attacks were constantly being broken through, the speed of his slash was becoming slower and slower.
Xiao Yan also snorted coldly, and the Crimson Lotus Star Flame in his hand flashed. After the first five levels were completed, Xiao Yan's strange fire was about to erupt!
The sixth level: a blue sea of fire, the blue lotus core fire!
Within the sea of fire, the faint phantom of a massive azure lotus platform could be seen floating and sinking, radiating an overwhelming aura capable of suppressing the earth and incinerating all things. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, born from the earth's core, inherently possessed the earth's weight and the magma's fury; now, in Xiao Yan's hands, its power was pushed to its limit. The appearance of the third crimson tide briefly turned this area azure; the surging lava, now enhanced by the azure Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, possessed a strange and wondrous beauty.
The azure ice crystals on the blade clashed fiercely with the cyan flames, emitting a dense, rain-like hissing sound, and billowing wisps of cyan smoke rose up. However, Ling Fengzhui's inky blade light remained unstoppable, cutting off the cyan sea of fire. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame only lasted for two more breaths.
The sixth layer was cleaved open!
However, Ling Fengzhui's expression beneath the mask also became extremely solemn, as the initial expenditure was much greater than he had anticipated.
Next, replacing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was a deep and vast blue, the seventh layer of Crimson Tide, the Sea Core Flame!
The blue, ocean-like power feels quite different from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. The Sea Core Flame, born in the deep sea, is a strange flame, but it possesses a resilience that ordinary strange flames lack. The Sea Core Flame is not as heavy as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but it is much more troublesome.
For the first time, Ling Fengzhui's slash hesitated at this point, as a continuous stream of power tightly bound the blade's light. The tidal wave of sea flames was not easy to break, but despite the extreme difficulty, Ling Fengzhui's slash was still terrifying in its momentum and managed to cut it open.
This time, however, it took ten more breaths than before, which is the time it took to break through the previous six levels combined.
Moreover, the eighth crimson tide was even more terrifying. A black-purple sea of fire, representing an eternal and indestructible aura, suddenly erupted and rushed towards them. Even Ling Fengzhui could feel the intense heat of Xiao Yan's attack.
The Three Thousand Burning Flames ranks ninth on the list of strange flames. Once a strange flame enters the top ten, its power is greatly enhanced. For example, the Three Thousand Burning Flames that Xiao Yan now controls is vastly different from the previous two strange flames.
The purplish-black flames were no longer merely a sea of fire; instead, a colossal purplish-black flame dragon phantom condensed above them. The sea of fire was no longer passively cleaved apart as before; it surged even higher, seemingly intent on devouring Ling Fengzhui's strike. The two different, profound colors clashed and entangled, locked in a stalemate in mid-air, unable to gain the upper hand for the time being.
The eighth torrent, driven by the Three Thousand Burning Flames, was already holding its own against Ling Fengzhui's attack. Both the fire dragon and the blade light were rapidly depleting their battle qi in this level of collision.
Seeing this, Ling Fengzhui asked with some resentment, "Is it already that difficult to get here?"
He had personally witnessed Xiao Yan unleash this move before the Heavenly Tomb opened. He didn't know whether Xiao Yan had deliberately held back or if it had been strengthened again after entering the Heavenly Tomb. The power of this move had improved considerably compared to before. Ling Fengzhui originally thought that his strike would at least allow him to fight Xiao Yan to the very end.
Of course, Ling Fengzhui would not admit defeat so easily. The cloud-shaped clan mark between his eyebrows burst out with an unprecedentedly dazzling silver light!
"In that case, air ban!" Ling Fengzhui's power finally erupted.
A strange fluctuation appeared in the air where the slash had been made, and an extremely strange spatial fluctuation descended instantly, truly controlling the Three Thousand Burning Flames and preventing them from going any further.
hum-
Just as the three thousand flames condensed into a giant dragon and were bound, the dark blade light fiercely tore through the temporarily imprisoned dragon flames and pierced through the huge dragon's body.
A sky full of purplish-black flames crashed down on the earth like an apocalyptic meteor shower, turning that area into a boiling purplish-black inferno!
The eighth layer of the red tide was forcibly broken!
But at this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes seemed to be burning with raging flames. All the preludes were over, and what followed was his most relied-upon strange fire, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!
The ninth layer of the Ninefold Crimson Tide has arrived as promised!
The crimson torrent of flames was no less powerful than the remaining blade light released by Ling Fengzhui. The crimson flames and the dark blade light collided, and the dark blade light had already consumed more than half of its power. This final crimson tide was Xiao Yan's true trump card, which he had been preparing for a long time.
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire erupts with full force!
This strongest strange fire, which served as Xiao Yan's trump card, did not disappoint. Although its speed was not very fast, it demonstrated the true power of the eighth strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking as soon as it collided with Ling Fengzhui's sword light. Neither ice crystals nor dark energy could stop the blood torrent from moving forward; they were directly pierced and melted.
In the end, the sword light within the sea of fire was completely melted away, and Ling Fengzhui's all-out attack was ultimately shattered by Xiao Yan. The last force blocking the ninth layer of the crimson tide also collapsed completely, and the sea of fire surged towards Ling Fengzhui unstoppably.
At this moment, Ling Fengzhui had exhausted all his power. His face beneath the mask was deathly pale, and he was breathing heavily.
Ling Fengzhui looked up at the sea of fire surging towards him, but made no other unnecessary movements. He simply gripped his long sword tightly, letting his body be completely buried by the fire.
