Chapter 48 Double Kill
Chapter 48 Double Kill
Flames, flames that engulf the sky.
The two blue flame birds had gone into a frenzy, frantically spewing flames.
However, during the battle just now, after the two Azure Flame Birds were separated, one of them was controlled by the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada Demon Core and almost had its neck severed in one blow, which directly caused the two Azure Flame Birds to go berserk.
They spread out, hovering in the sky, spewing flames from their mouths, instantly turning the sycamore grove into a sea of fire.
"Watch out!" "Run!"
Everyone scattered in a panic, but Mo Zheng moved with lightning speed, quickly dodging the spray of flames and hiding behind a large tree.
He secretly observed the situation and saw that the flames of the Azure Flame Bird were truly fierce. Although everyone dodged in time, two people were still covered in the Azure Flames and were now helplessly trying to fight them off.
Under such intense pressure, there was no chance to use the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada Demon Core; they didn't even dare to show their faces.
Li Zhujie, having entered the hall a year earlier, was more experienced. He gave the order: "Everyone, don't rush. It can't keep spewing flames forever. When it catches its breath, everyone attack it with hidden weapons. There will definitely be an opportunity."
The Azure Flame Bird was more powerful than they had originally estimated, which resulted in their attack failing to achieve any success, leading to the current situation.
shhhhh!
Just then, from under the sycamore tree opposite, where Zhao Teng's group of men was, several stones the size of human heads suddenly flew out and smashed menacingly towards the two blue flame birds in the air.
Caught off guard, the two blue flame birds were hit squarely, letting out painful cries, and several feathers fell off.
"Hahaha, you silly bird, come on!"
Zhao Teng suddenly darted out, shouting sarcastic remarks, but his figure darted into the forest.
The two birds were immediately enraged and instinctively tried to chase after Zhao Teng.
"Quickly, attack one of ours!"
Li Zhujie shouted urgently, raising his hand and throwing out a steel needle.
Everyone threw hidden weapons at the one closest to them. These martial artists at the Skin and Flesh Realm possessed strength exceeding a thousand pounds and used their strength skillfully. Every hidden weapon in their hands was incredibly powerful.
Amidst the whistling sounds of air being torn apart, the Azure Flame Bird behind it was struck repeatedly and teetered precariously in mid-air.
good chance!
Mo Zheng's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to throw a knife, imbuing it with his mental power.
puff!
The Azure Flame Bird was so stunned by the impact that it didn't even have time to react before Mo Zheng's flying knife pierced its left eye!
"Hey!"
The already precarious Blue Flame Bird could no longer hold on, let out a mournful cry, and its body crashed uncontrollably to the ground.
"pretty!"
Li Zhujie gave a thumbs-up and strode forward, while simultaneously throwing the inner cores of the Twin-Winged Frost Cicadas in his hands at the falling Azure Flame Bird as if they were free.
All of this happened in an instant. The other blue flame bird that had been chasing Zhao Tengfei turned around and noticed this scene, and hurriedly flapped its wings to try to come back to his aid.
But it was too late.
bang bang bang...
With several muffled sounds, the inner core of the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada struck the injured Azure Flame Bird, shattering instantly. A terrifying chill erupted immediately, and in the blink of an eye, all the azure flames on the Azure Flame Bird's body were extinguished, and even a thin layer of ice began to form on its body.
"call!"
A heatwave, a scorching heatwave, rolled in, but the uninjured bird spewed flames again, this time not at the crowd, but at the injured Azure Flame Bird!
"Quick, stones, hidden weapons, don't let it breathe fire!"
Zhao Teng shouted frantically, and immediately, several whooshing sounds rang out from his direction as stones and hidden weapons rained down on the fire-breathing Azure Flame Bird.
After being hit like that, the Azure Flame Bird could no longer breathe fire and could only flap its wings to dodge.
However, much of the flames it had spewed earlier had already landed on the injured bird. Under the effect of these blue flames, the injured eyes of the blue flame bird were visibly healing rapidly, its withered feathers were growing back quickly, and the ice on its body was melting even faster!
"Let's attack together and kill this one!"
Knowing that the Azure Flame Bird was about to recover, Li Zhujie hurriedly shouted and threw out several more Twin-Winged Frost Cicada Inner Cores from his hand!
The injured Azure Flame Bird raised one wing to shield itself, but that wing was instantly frozen solid by the terrifying cold air.
Mo Zheng and his companions had already unleashed their fastest speed, leaving afterimages as they brandished their weapons and charged towards the Azure Flame Bird.
However, at that moment, flames erupted from other parts of the Azure Flame Bird!
"Hurry!" Li Zhujie shouted anxiously.
call out!
Mo Zheng arrived first, gathering all his strength, and slashed his longsword fiercely towards its neck. The sword left a trail of afterimages and fell heavily with a sharp whistling sound. The Azure Flame Bird instinctively tried to dodge, but it only had time to slightly turn its head before the sword still struck its neck.
when!
A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, but it was the terrifying defensive power of its feathers and flesh, almost as hard as refined steel. Mo Zheng's sword only managed to cut a little bit of flesh and flesh, and could not cut off its head with one strike.
However, the terrifying force it carried left him dizzy and disoriented, and he even fainted for a moment.
Li Zhujie laughed, because the rest of the group had already arrived.
They used all sorts of weapons at once, cutting down the blue flame bird, which cried out in agony, its feathers scattered all over the ground, unable to get up at all.
Pfft!
Li Zhujie, wielding two short swords, thrust them out with lightning speed, piercing the Azure Flame Bird's intact right eye and penetrating its brain. The Azure Flame Bird stiffened, its flames suddenly intensifying as it fully recovered from the chilling aura of the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada's inner core. The raging flames forced everyone to involuntarily take a step back.
However, the flames blazed for only a moment before dimming, and the Azure Flame Bird lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.
Screech!
The other blue flame bird, forced into the air, let out a shrill, mournful cry upon seeing this.
Its voice was so shrill and sorrowful, even somewhat hoarse, that one could feel the terrifying anger and immense grief within it.
Whoosh!
The living Azure Flame Bird's body was engulfed in flames that reached an extremely terrifying level. Ignoring the incoming hidden weapons and stones, it flapped its wings, bringing with it endless heat waves as it rushed directly towards Mo Zheng and the others.
Under that terrifying blaze, everything was set ablaze, like a giant fireball. It didn't care whether it could withstand the power, and just rushed down madly.
Without any prompting, everyone frantically scattered in all directions, no one wanting to face a Blue Flame Bird in such a rage.
Even though Li Zhujie and Zhao Teng possessed many Twin-Winged Frost Cicada Inner Cores, they had no intention of attacking at this moment, but instead chose to evade.
Such intense heat cannot last long. This level of azure flame, almost capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth, is certainly not something that can be sustained for very long.
"This Blue Flame Bird..."
Mo Zheng kept dodging the flames shooting from behind, and finally found a big tree to hide behind, where he breathed a sigh of relief.
This azure flame is indeed powerful.
He was grazed by the flames of several flying swords, and even though he was wearing first-class inner armor, his robes and armor were scorched with small holes.
The longsword that struck the Azure Flame Bird earlier had a small nick on its blade, even though the bird hadn't fully recovered and only had a little flame left.
The azure flames that melt gold and iron are no exaggeration. As expected of a demon beast with the bloodline of the divine beast Fire Phoenix, it is far stronger than those first-tier demon beasts in the Daliang Mountains.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions came from behind, interspersed with furious screech, clearly the Azure Flame Bird was wreaking havoc and venting its anger over the death of its companion.
"what!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out. Mo Zheng was startled and looked closely. It was the male disciple named He Zeng who was enveloped in the blue flames of the Azure Flame Bird and turned into a human torch, struggling helplessly!
call out!call out!
Two whooshing sounds came, and two dark shadows slammed into He Zeng's body, releasing a burst of cold air—these were the demon cores of the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada.
Under this chill, the blue flames on his body were extinguished instantly. However, under the stimulation of the ice and fire, he fainted and fell to the ground, his body charred black. It was unclear whether he was dead or alive.
"Ah! Help me!"
"Help! Help!"
……
After that, two more figures, engulfed in flames, rushed out. They were Qu Fei and Liu Changfeng. They had been injured by Mo Zheng and could not recover in a day, which greatly affected their combat strength.
At this moment, these injuries were undoubtedly fatal. In the struggle to avoid the Azure Flame Bird's raging flames, those who were even slightly slow were ignited by the flames.
Zhao Teng and Li Zhujie acted quickly, throwing demon cores to extinguish the flames on the two men. However, the two men also fell to the ground, motionless, their fate unknown.
"No, Zhao Teng, if this continues, we'll all fall victim!"
"Let's go for it! I refuse to believe it can withstand so many demon cores. Who will distract it?"
Seeing that further delay would likely result in even greater casualties, the two stone-skinned warriors dared not wait any longer.
If there are too many casualties, the martial arts hall will definitely punish them if they are not released. They cannot kill even this one Azure Flame Bird.
However, in this berserk state, they were unable to use their demon cores to attack the Azure Flame Bird, which would spew out a mouthful of azure flames the moment it appeared.
Someone has to attract the Azure Flame Bird's attention first, and then launch a sneak attack with the demon core.
The group had a total of twenty-nine Twin-Winged Frost Cicada inner cores. After the recent consumption, they had used about ten cores, leaving them with nearly twenty more. Fighting the Azure Flame Bird should not be difficult for them.
"I have level two soft armor protecting me, I'll go!"
You Chendong shouted, "But I want an extra Blood-Awakening Grass!"
"well!"
Li Zhujie and Zhao Teng agreed without hesitation, and then they saw a figure fly out of the forest.
Upon seeing that figure, the Azure Flame Bird immediately spewed flames from its mouth.
However, the raging flames only burned You Chendong's outer garment, revealing his silver soft armor, which shone brightly in the sunlight.
The scorching blue flames couldn't harm them in the slightest.
The defensive capabilities of Tier 2 armor are worlds apart from those of Tier 1 armor.
Mo Zheng's eyes revealed a hint of envy. Just then, Li Zhujie and Zhao Teng attacked together, sparing no effort in using the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada Demon Core.
At the same time, everyone rushed towards the location of the Azure Flame Bird, knowing that this was their last chance.
A series of cracking sounds.
A large amount of cold air overflowed out, colliding with the blue flames on the Blue Flame Bird's body, intertwining and annihilating each other. Visibly, the temperature around the Blue Flame Bird dropped rapidly, condensing into specks of ice crystals.
Boo!
The Azure Flame Bird cried out to the sky, no longer caring about chasing after everyone, and flapped its wings, trying to take off.
"We can't let it fly!"
Zhao Teng's expression changed, and he accelerated again, his inner energy being consumed rapidly. In an instant, he caught up with the Azure Flame Bird.
The chilling air, the terrifying chilling air, caused a layer of frost to quickly form on his body.
"Take this!"
Li Zhujie shouted loudly and appeared beside the Azure Flame Bird. With two short swords carrying immense power, he slashed fiercely at the junction of the Azure Flame Bird's two wings.
Two muffled sounds were heard, sparks flew everywhere, and the Azure Flame Bird cried out in anguish. Its wings were injured and it could not flap them at all. It fell to the ground.
"good!"
Zhao Teng praised him, and suddenly thrust out his long staff like a thunderbolt, piercing the bird's neck through its beak.
The Azure Flame Bird trembled in pain, flapped its wings and sent Zhao Teng flying, but it was too weak to control its body and crashed heavily to the ground.
As smoke and dust filled the air, wisps of blue flames rekindled on its body, showing signs of recovery.
However, the disciples who arrived later were unlikely to give it a chance to catch its breath.
Unable to fly, with its flames yet to reignite, and severely injured, how could such a first-tier demon beast withstand the combined attack of six martial arts hall disciples?
These are not ordinary martial artists from the outside world who would have difficulty even dealing with a single demonic beast; these are powerful martial artists who have passed through the first level of the Tower of Ascension.
In an instant, several weapons struck the Azure Flame Bird's vital points one after another. The Azure Flame Bird tried to resist, but it was powerless to do so. With a few mournful cries, it fell to the ground and died.
The two powerful first-tier demonic beasts were thus completely killed by the combined efforts of the group.
"Is it over?"
Mo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally dead.
These two blue flame birds are really troublesome; they can fly, breathe fire, and their bodies are frighteningly tough.
Even with the inner core of the Twin-Winged Frost Cicada, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with two Azure Flame Birds at the same time if he were alone.
Fortunately, such demonic beasts containing the bloodline of divine beasts are as rare as bloodline martial artists. Mo Zheng had never heard of a single person with bloodline talent in the Liangzhou Martial Arts Hall, which shows how rare they are.
"You all did a good job," Li Zhujie praised. "Let's treat our three injured junior brothers first."
Several people immediately went to check on the three people who had been burned to a crisp.
Mo Zheng walked up to He Zeng and was immediately hit by a pungent, burnt smell. The man's entire body was covered in burns, but fortunately, martial artists are resilient and he was still breathing.
Such burns would be fatal to an ordinary person, but it's different for a martial artist.
Mo Zheng fed him a healing pill, and his breathing gradually became steady.
But just then, a voice shouted, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, now that the mission is complete, shouldn't we discuss how to distribute this Blood Awakening Grass?"
The speaker was You Chendong, who had just run over, and a burning glint flashed in his eyes.
Thirteen Blood-Awakening Herbs, worth over a million taels of silver, would be an immense fortune even for a member of a powerful family.
Even the most powerful experts in the Visceral Realm would be envious!
The breathing of everyone present instantly became heavy.
