Peerless War God

"Junior apprentice-nephew, you can't die here. Otherwise, how am I going to report back to senior apprentice-brother when I go back?"    

He gritted his teeth, disregarding the fireballs that were flying towards him, and rushed towards Fairy Ice Phoenix. He wanted to save her and leave together with her.    

The image of the Goddess of Ice on the spot dissipated, and the Ice Phoenix felt extremely weak. She could no longer maintain the existence of her magical image.    

Fairy Ice Phoenix moaned, and her expression was filled with pain. She fell from the sky and fell to the ground.    

She muttered, "I never thought that I would still underestimate this leader of the Flame Beasts."    

The ice could suppress fire, but this guardian Flame Beast was born from the laws of fire. The power of fire was too strong, and even her Ancient Ice Phoenix bloodline was unable to contend against it.    

This was somewhat troublesome. It was not that easy to deal with it.    

At this time, she glanced at Zhou Kuang, who was rushing towards her from the corner of her eyes. Her heart relaxed, and she tried her best to calm down the mana fluctuations in her body and stabilize her injuries.    

In the next moment, Zhou Kuang rushed over and grabbed her arm.    

"Good junior apprentice-nephew, how are you? Are you alright?"    

Fairy Ice Phoenix was about to speak when a mouthful of blood gushed out, dyeing her entire chin and neck red.    

This scene terrified Zhou Kuang, and he was so anxious that he was scratching his head.    

"Alright, alright, don't speak anymore. I have to take you away from here first."    

“Yes.”    

The Ice Phoenix Fairy nodded and did not say anything else.    

Zhou Kuang immediately grabbed her hand and flew away from the fireballs. At this moment, countless fireballs were flying toward the two of them. They had no choice but to face them head-on.    

Zhou Kuang cursed, “Damn you, you still want to bite me when you’re about to die.”    

He looked down at the severely injured Ice Phoenix Fairy and sighed. He immediately activated his Qi and blood energy to create a blood-colored barrier.    

Bang!    

Countless fireballs flew toward them. Each fireball was hundreds of feet in size, and their power was astonishing. They sent Zhou Kuang and the Ice Phoenix Fairy flying. Fortunately, Zhou Kuang had used all his strength and barely managed to hold on.    

He supported the blood-colored barrier and staggered out of the Life Sky. He managed to make his way through the cracks.    

On the other side, Yan Can finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Kuang had successfully rescued the Ice Phoenix Fairy.    

Although the Ice Phoenix Fairy’s attack had not killed the leader of the Flame Beasts, it had severely injured it and greatly reduced its strength.    

Otherwise, it would not have used such a suicidal attack.    

As more and more fireballs flew out of the Flame Beast’s body, the leader of the Flame Beasts shrank rapidly. Its aura was also weakening.    

Gradually, the Flame Beast’s body shrank to only thirty feet tall. Its strength had greatly decreased.    

Seeing this, Yan Can said, "Good chance. It seems that the Ice Phoenix's sword attack just now was effective. You all quickly retreat and dodge the fireball. I'll deal it a fatal blow."    

Sun Xing and the others replied in unison, "Yes."    

Immediately, the cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect also moved. Yan Can took the lead, while the other cultivators retreated and attacked at the same time.    

"Kill!"    

Yan Can shouted and took the lead, thrusting his sword at the leader of the Flame Beasts in the air.    

The shrunken Flame Beast leader's aura fell to the Fifth Calamity of Longevity. Its eyes were filled with hatred as it stared at the Ice Phoenix Fairy, and it was filled with killing intent.    

However, the Ice Phoenix was already being protected by Zhou Kuang and was quickly escaping from the battlefield.    

In this situation, even if it wanted to take revenge, it had to think twice and not rashly step forward.    

At the same time, it glanced at Yan Can's attack from the corner of its eyes and became even more furious.    

"Roar!"    

It roared angrily and spat out a large mouthful of fire dragon breath towards Yan Can.    

Yan Can raised his sword and slashed. With a sizzling sound, the breath was split apart. Then, he flew forward and thrust his sword out. A shocking sword intent erupted, and in an instant, he slashed out hundreds of swords. The sword shadows enveloped the Flame Beast leader and pierced hundreds of holes of various sizes on its body.    

However, the holes on its body did not have blood flowing out. Instead, it was flowing with fire Qi, which was also its original Qi.    

Once the fire Qi leaked out, the Flame Beast leader would shrink further and its aura would continue to fall.    

At this moment, it finally panicked a little.    

It roared angrily, and with a wave of its sharp claws, it struck Yan Can. Yan Can raised his sword to block it, but he was sent flying. He fell heavily onto the ground, spitting out blood, and was heavily injured.    

“Not good.”    

After falling to the ground, Yan Can shouted loudly. He knew that things were not good, and he fiercely slapped the ground beneath him. Then, with the force of the rebound, he forcefully flew up to his feet.    

As he took out medicinal pills and stuffed them into his mouth to quickly treat his injuries and stabilize his condition, he raised his head and stared at the Flame Beast leader in the sky.    

He was afraid that the other party would chase after him with hatred in his heart. If that happened, he would be finished.    

However, very quickly, he realized that something was wrong.    

“Eh? This is?”    

His eyes narrowed, and he erupted with a burst of light. He was very surprised.    

He saw that the Flame Beast leader in the air glared at him angrily, and its body shrunk by half again. It was only less than twenty feet in size, but it did not chase after him. Instead, after staring at him for a few moments, it turned around and ran, running back to the lava lake.    

“It wants to run away?”    

Yan Can was stunned. He was a little at a loss, and he was even at a loss. He did not know what had happened.    

At this moment, he was already heavily injured. As long as this Flame Beast leader chased after him, it was very likely that he would die here.    

This was clearly such a good opportunity, but this Flame Beast actually gave up just like that?    

For a moment, he could not figure it out.    

At the same time, on the other side.    

"Eh, it actually escaped? How could this be?"    

Chen Xiao said in surprise.    

Xilou smiled faintly and said, "This is not strange. What you see now is its original body. Once its original body is injured, its strength will fall, and it will die. That's why it is afraid, that's why it escaped."    

"This is its original body? Then what about before?" Chen Xiao was stunned and asked doubtfully.    

Xilou was expressionless and continued, "Before, its huge body was only one of its abilities. It could gather the power of the lava lake and turn it into its own use. That was all. It was not its true power, but an external force."    

Chen Xiao heard this and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."    

Xilou nodded and said, "Once it burrows back into the lava lake, as long as it has time, its strength can still recover and continue to increase. But once it dies here, it will really die."    

"Heh, it is really afraid of death. A Flame Spirit is actually so afraid of death."    

Chen Xiao sneered.    

Xilou rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, the life of a Flame Spirit is also its life. Now is also the best time for you to make a move."    

"Oh, how do I make a move?"    

"Your Soul Seizing Sword."    

"Soul Seizing Sword? Is it useful to it?"    

"Of course it's useful, and it has quite a few restraining effects," Xilou said in a low voice.    

As he spoke, Chen Xiao looked at the Flame Beast that was fleeing quickly. In the end, he gave up on this idea.
