Chapter 456: Chapter 276: Xia Pingzhou’s Battle, Quasi-Catastrophe Level Showdown
Each clash of dagger fists exploded into a blinding flash of fire.
However, with the massive blood loss, strength rapidly waning, the Flame Demon’s eyelids began to droop.
The desperate situation had arrived. He knew that if this fight dragged on, there would be no chance of victory; might as well fight desperately!
"Get—Lost!" the Flame Demon roared, burning with the last of his life, the blood spurting from the severed right shoulder turned into fuel, and his left arm swung wildly outwards!
Buzz!
A huge ring-shaped wall of fire, as deep as a sea of lava, exploded outward centered on him! The Queen’s Statue was forced to retreat by this terrifying wave of flame explosion!
At the same time, a giant sphere appeared again over the Flame Demon’s head.
Like a suspended sun.
Every pore of the Flame Demon’s body was spraying out the last flames, continuously gathering upwards, like rivers flowing into the sea.
A fireball more intense and emitting a ghastly white light appeared beneath the sky, like a missile about to explode.
"Die—"
Madness burned in the Flame Demon’s eyes as his body twisted in mid-air, amassing all remaining strength, engulfed in fury, like a moth flying into the flame, kicked with everything he had at the retreating Queen’s Statue!
The ghastly white miniature "sun" descended with a deathly roar, crushing the space, straight down!
Xia Pingzhou’s eyes finally showed a slight change. He directly grasped the Flame Demon on the Mobius Ring Road.
"Crack!" The sound was clear as shattering glass, and a sinister demon composed of dual flames, dark and glaring white, opened its fangs in the air.
"Bridge of Humans and Demons." Xia Pingzhou commanded.
As his words fell, a bridge, fluctuating between reality and illusion, ran through the Flame Demon and the Queen’s Statue, their figures twisted and fused within the shadow of the bridge.
The Queen’s Statue vanished. But in the place where she stood, a brand new, more terrifying existence appeared.
She wielded a long sword made of blazing fire. The sword blade shimmered with flickering firelight, like tides rising and falling. A pair of gigantic wings formed of flames unfolded behind her.
["The power possessed by the Flame Queen is ’Flame Transformation’ and ’Flame Pillar."]
"Flame Transformation." Xia Pingzhou ordered word by word.
The Queen disintegrated. Completely transforming into a rushing, roaring deep red stream of fire, like a waking fire dragon, violently surged toward that ghastly white "miniature sun."
But an unbelievable scene occurred; at the moment of contact with the flame sphere, as if a vassal meeting a monarch, its fire was silently swallowed, the two fused into one.
"Did she absorb my flames?" The Flame Demon stood dumbfounded.
In his shock-contracted pupils, the Queen transformed into a flame pillar, just like the mythical Lance of Longinus shot forward. The Flame Demon collided as if he had been hit by a fiery train and was crushed in an instant.
Flames consumed him.
No screams, no resistance. Only a massive, molten fiery pit remained, and a wisp of smoke rapidly dissipated in the ultra-high temperature.
Xia Pingzhou watched this scene, whispered to himself, "Easier than I thought, now fighting those on the same level is indeed no problem." He still had the Shadow Demon, if the Queen had failed to block the Flame Demon’s final strike, he would have pulled the King into the shadows.
The Flame Demon had no possibility of winning, not even inflicting a single injury from start to finish.
The next moment, a series of prompt boxes finally popped up in front of Xia Pingzhou’s eyes.
[Superhuman Species "Flame Demon" — confirmed extermination.]
[Detected that Unit No. 2 killed a "Quasi-Calamity Level" individual, progressing the "Winter of the Wild Hunt" system’s mission.]
[Killing individuals above Quasi-Calamity Level will earn additional progress.]
[Breeding Task 5 Progress: 48/70 Superhuman species killed (Reward: 1 attribute point)]
Xia Pingzhou turned his head to look at another corner, where the fight was earth-shattering, almost demolishing half of the prison, Fortunately, the battle was already decided by this point.
