“A mere Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme, here to court death?”
Kong Xiu, clad in heavy armor, shimmered with Divine Radiance. Wielding a long saber, an oppressive power surged from his form as he slashed directly at Ji Fuyao. His saber strike tore through the firmament, its blade energy spanning thousands of zhang. Kong Xiu scoffed, “Such a peerless beauty, what a pity she’s destined to fall by my blade!”
Meanwhile, Ji Fuyao, her fiery red dress billowing, stood upon a Sea of Spirit Fire. Her Nine-star Supreme Weapon, the Heaven-Burning Spear, swept forth in a single, decisive thrust. The spear gleamed like a crimson lightning bolt, transforming into a sky-piercing Fire Dragon. The dragon, illuminating heaven and earth, surged forth to devour Kong Xiu. Even without fully unsealing its power, the Nine-star Supreme Weapon amplified her combat strength tenfold!
The spear's crimson light shot directly towards Kong Xiu's blade energy, and the two terrifying forces collided in an instant.
Everyone watched the clash of these two attacks, breathless.
“BOOM!”
Kong Xiu's thousands of zhang of blade energy was instantly swallowed by the soaring Spirit Fire Dragon, utterly annihilated. Yet, the spear's aftershock, its terrifying might still intact, continued its relentless advance, a force capable of incinerating the heavens and boiling the seas, bearing down on Kong Xiu.
“How... how is this possible?!” Kong Xiu shrieked in disbelief. His face turned grim, and the aura of his Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme realm erupted in a desperate surge. He roared, activating his ultimate technique, “Azure Dragon Blade Art!”
In an instant, a verdant blade energy transformed into a dragon, charging towards Ji Fuyao's terrifying Spirit Fire Dragon. Two peak powers collided once more. But it was useless! Even as a mere aftershock, Ji Fuyao's spear strike still possessed superior power.
“Pfft!” Kong Xiu spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, sent flying a thousand zhang. The web of his hand tore, his long saber nearly slipping from his grasp, blood streaming down. He struggled to rise from the void, but just then, Ji Fuyao's exquisite figure appeared before him, her spear thrusting forward.
“Swoosh!”
“No! No—” Before he could finish, Kong Xiu's blood-soaked head flew from his shoulders. Blood splattered! Instant annihilation!
“BOOM!” Commander Kong Xiu's lifeless body plummeted from the sky. Witnessing this, everyone was utterly stunned. Commander Kong Xiu had been instantly killed by that stunning woman! And she was only a Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! Who was this newcomer? Did the Fire Alliance truly possess such a powerhouse?
The people of Luocheng all looked to Wang Jiang Chen Yan, who shook his head. “The Fire Alliance leadership has no such powerhouse! Who... who is she?”
At that moment, Ji Fuyao, Heaven-Burning Spear in hand, pointed it at the remaining two commanders, Han Fu and Wang Zhi. “Kill!”
Immediately, behind Ji Fuyao, the Imperial Dragon Guard and the forces of Beiwang City surged forward. Wang Man, wielding his Blood Axe, roared, “No quarter! Fight to the death!”
Boom! Boom!
The two commanders, Han Fu and Wang Zhi, soared into the sky, spirit weapons in hand, charging towards Ji Fuyao. Behind them, several other Quasi-Dao Supremes also rose, encircling Ji Fuyao. Seeing this, Wang Jiang Chen Yan was about to join the fray. “Daoist friend, allow me to assist you!”
Ji Fuyao waved a dismissive hand, stating simply, “No need.”
The people of Luocheng were stunned. This exquisite woman intended to take on the Ice Flame Army's elite by herself! Chen Yan roared, “Everyone, follow me and slay the enemy!” Since Ji Fuyao was holding back the strongest, they would focus on the rest of the Ice Flame Army. Even with their combined forces, the Ice Flame Army still vastly outnumbered them.
In an instant, battle cries shook the heavens. Wang Man roared, swinging his Blood Axe, and a sky-reaching crimson light splattered. Several low-star Great Emperors were instantly annihilated! Qing Yan's delicate hand flicked, and several Spirit Wood branches materialized in the air. Like Emperor Weapons, they shot forth, instantly piercing through the chests of several Ice Flame Army soldiers. The entire Imperial Dragon Guard fought fiercely!
Led by their two Old Ancestors, the Fire Dragon Race and Golden Crow Race also plunged into a frenzied slaughter! Above the glaciers, a sky-reaching rain of blood continuously erupted!
Meanwhile, in the void above, over a dozen powerhouses surrounded Ji Fuyao. Commander Han Fu glanced down at the battle below, a cold glint in his eyes. He knew that only by killing this stunning woman could they turn the tide; otherwise, even more would die! The other powerhouses' faces also grew serious. This was undoubtedly the greatest challenge their Ice Flame Army had ever faced! Although Commander Kong Xiu had been instantly killed, they refused to believe they would lose! After all, they were the Ice Flame Army, undefeated in the Northern Plains!
Commander Wang Zhi, also wielding a long spear shimmering with icy intent, stared intently at Ji Fuyao. “Who exactly are you? According to our Imperial Court's intelligence, the Fire Alliance has no such powerhouse as yourself...” Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao simply stepped into the air, wasting no words, and charged.
“Heaven-Burning Art!”
Boom! A far more terrifying Spirit Fire power surged from Ji Fuyao's body. Two distinct exotic flames, vast as a boundless sea, erupted from her meridians. BOOM! A Ten-thousand-zhang Fire Domain instantly manifested around Ji Fuyao! The Spirit Fire's might was like a Great Sun blazing across the sky, its terrifying heat melting the Northern Plains' ice and snow, making the surrounding temperature incredibly scorching! Her figure moved within the Ten-thousand-zhang Fire Domain, her fiery red dress shimmering against the Sea of Spirit Fire. Her delicate hand suddenly tightened, thrusting her spear towards Commander Wang Zhi.
“Swoosh!”
Her spear light, like a soaring dragon, met Wang Zhi's own attack. He, too, wielded a long spear, unleashing a white spear intent that streaked across the void like a white rainbow, piercing the sky as it charged into Ji Fuyao's sea of fire. The two spear lights clashed, but in an instant, Wang Zhi's white spear light was extinguished! The Spirit Fire's power, capable of incinerating the heavens and boiling the seas, annihilated even his spear light!
“Swoosh!” Wang Zhi's body was abruptly pierced by the spear strike, his form engulfed in scorching flames as he plummeted from the sky. Blood splattered! Another instant annihilation!
Commander Han Fu's face turned ashen, his heart filled with unbearable humiliation. He roared, “Ice Flame Army! Retreat!” In an instant, the entire Ice Flame Army fell into disarray! They had all witnessed Commander Wang Zhi being instantly killed again! The Ice Flame Army was utterly shaken. This was the first time on the Northern Plains that a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme commander had been instantly killed!
An ancient array disc appeared in Commander Han Fu's hand, spatial power surging, endless brilliant Dao patterns swirling. Streaks of light appeared on all the living Ice Flame Army soldiers. Wang Man, cleaving down a guard with his Blood Axe, roared, “Quick, kill them! They're trying to escape!”
Just then, Ji Fuyao let out a soft hmph, a killing intent flashing across her exquisite face. With a thought, the Nine-star Supreme Weapon Heaven-Burning Spear shot forth like a river of Spirit Fire, slashing towards Commander Han Fu.
“Swoosh!” Its might was overwhelming! Han Fu yelled to those beside him, “Help me block this! I need to activate the Spatial Secret Art!” Immediately, the other powerhouses beside him shielded Han Fu. They had to block it! Otherwise, they would all die! But it was useless! This was a Nine-star Supreme Weapon, imbued with potent Rule Power. Wherever it passed, whoever blocked it, died!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The Ice Flame Army's powerhouses were instantly annihilated, their bodies plummeting!
“Swoosh!” The next instant, the Heaven-Burning Spear pierced through Commander Han Fu's chest. His face etched with disbelief, he gasped, “How... how is this possible...”
