Nine fire whips streaked across the sky, creating enormous cracks that were a few hundred meters long all over the ground like a spider web.
The tail whip of the Fire Phoenix was so powerful that each of the attacks launched had enough force to even break metal, forming gaping gullies on the ground.
Such an attack could not even affect Lin Huang, let alone cause any injuries. Its tail whip attacks were rendered useless for the next few minutes. With a murderous aura, the Fire Phoenix let out a few roars. When it opened its mouth wide, there was a surge of red glow from its red beak.
Hundreds of meters away, Lin Huang could clearly sense the immense energy fluctuating within its beak.
Lin Huang was frightened as he had a good understanding of the Fire Phoenix. Of course, he knew what kind of attack he was going to encounter as soon as he saw that.
In the Fire Phoenix's beak, the ball of an energy had reached its peak. The tip of the flame spiraled into the shape of a corn, rotating towards Lin Huang like an electric drill.
It was the Inferno Dragonspit Drill, a skill which was considered as the most powerful single-target attack skill that the Fire Phoenix possessed. In addition to its tail whip that restricted Lin Huang's space where he hid, it was trying to kill Lin Huang with the combination of these skills!
Realizing that its tail whip could do no harm to Lin Huang, the Fire Phoenix resorted to using such a combo skill instead. It first restricted Lin Huang's space with its tail whip and was going to kill him in just one blow when Lin Huang had no more space to dodge.
Lin Huang had already noticed that the space around him was shrinking. He then saw that the Fire Phoenix was collecting energy to unleash the Inferno Dragonspit Drill, instantly understanding the Fire Phoenix's intention.
"Never underestimate double mutated monsters." Lin Huang frowned. He clearly knew that if it was not considered as a forbidden skill, it would be the most powerful skill possessed by the Fire Phoenix. He was not sure how long his Dark Shield could still defend him against such strength.
"What's the use of shrinking my space?!" Lin Huang grinned.
At the second when the Inferno Dragonspit Drill gushed out of its mouth, Lin Huang suddenly switched from Cloud Steps to Thunder Steps. He took a step forward with Thunder Steps as his Seraphic Speed reached its maximum state, unlocking the space locked in the nine tail whips.
Bang!
The next moment, a loud explosion was heard and the volcano instantly collapsed.
Not only did the Infernal Dragonspit Drill penetrate through the huge volcano, a huge gully measuring more than 10 kilometers was also formed on the ground, striking terror into the people witnessing this horrific scene.
On top of the volcano, Yi Yeyu and Li Lang were aghast because they both knew that if the attack hit them, there would be nothing left of them.
"Your damage is quite good but you're still slightly slower!" Lin Huang was standing at a place that was hundreds of kilometers away from the volcano, looking calm as he shouted at the Fire Phoenix.
"Do you want to shit !?"
The Fire Phoenix growled. It would not usually bother to speak the human language but it was instigated by Lin Huang. Although it spoke like a drunkard, it was not easy for it to do so.
"Hey, can you please straighten your tongue before you speak? You can't even distinguish between alveolar and retroflex consonants. Do you really need me to teach you!?" Irritation filled Lin Huang’s face. "Repeat after me. She sells seashells by the sea shore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So, if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells."
"Go shit!"
The Fire Phoenix’s temper had gone past its limit. It opened its big mouth again and flames gushed crazily out.
Enveloping the air, the red flames seemed to have been intensified with a layer of oil as it burned more intensely. In just a short while, the flames poured down the sky, shrouding the region that was halfway down the hill in flames.
Boundless Flame was a type of ranged attack. Compared to the Meteor Fireplume that it had used earlier, the former could cover a larger area and Lin Huang would have no space to escape at all.
"There's nothing else that I can do but fight!" Of course, Lin Huang knew the characteristic of the Fire Phoenix's skill. Again, he activated his Dark Shield helplessly, which turned into a ball, so it could envelop Lin Huang securely.
The entire area seemed to be wrapped in flames right after Lin Huang had activated Dark Shield. However, the intense red flames were isolated by Lin Huang's Dark Shield and had no way of entering. Not even the heat produced by the flame could penetrate through the Dark Shield.
The exterior of the Dark Shield was a dark curtain that looked like an isolation layer. Nobody could see what was happening within the Dark Shield. However, Lin Huang could look through the shield as if it was completely transparent and as smooth as glass.
Looking at the ocean of flames outside which was separated from him by an impenetrable layer of "glass", Lin Huang was relieved.
He had no idea to what extent could the Dark Shield's defense achieve. Even the skill description mentioned that as long as the strength of the opponent’s attack was not more than 10 times of the user’s, the shield would not break. In fact, it was just a rough estimation and there was no exact standard to follow.
If Lin Huang were to extract all his Life Power contained in five of his Life Wheels to unleash Worldly Purification, the power it could potentially release would be terrifying as it could kill most of the white flame-level monsters in the world in split seconds. To think of having an attack strength that was 10 times stronger than that was bone-chilling.
However, Lin Huang was not going to test the limitations of his defense power in front of his enemy because it was irrational to do so. Therefore, he had been avoiding the Fire Phoenix's initial attack. Only after it launched its ranged attack did Lin Huang then dare to defend himself with the Dark Shield.
Since the ocean of red flames had been separated from the isolation shield, Lin Huang felt relatively safe. When he raised his head, he saw that the Fire Phoenix was getting in position for its next skill. His pupils immediately dilated and his face turned grave.
In mid-air, after pouring out flames from its mouth for the last time, its blue eyes flashed with a trace of fury.
A golden beam of light emerged from the Fire Phoenix's head, floating in front of its body. It resembled a small golden spark and it was shrouded in an invisible energy.
"Ah, a forbidden skill – Flare…" Lin Huang swallowed a mouthful of saliva in anxiety. He clearly knew what the Fire skill was about.
The golden flame was the Fire Phoenix's natal flame – the Fire Spark.
Under normal circumstances, the Fire Phoenix would need to spend more than hundreds of years to produce a Fire Spark. Therefore, it was very unlikely that it would use this skill.
The Fire Spark would normally stay in the Fire Phoenix's belly and most of the time, each of the Fire Spark was only half unlocked. Once the spark was released out of its body, it would quickly absorb the surrounding heat energy when it was unsealed, creating an extremely large explosive fireball. The greater the amount of heat absorbed, the higher the energy content of the fireball.
If adequate energy was absorbed, a Fire Spark that expanded to its maximum power could destroy an area that was more than 10,000 square kilometers, making it on par with Earth's atomic bomb.
"I've overdone it…" Lin Huang's back was drenched in sweat as he confirmed that his Dark Shield would definitely not be able to defend against such an attack.Do you want to shit (die) (你找屎(死)), the pronunciation for the word shit and die in Chinese is almost similar.She sells seashells by the sea shore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So, if she sells shells on the sea shore, I'm sure she sells sea shore shells. (四是四,十是十,十四是十四,四十是四十): A tongue twister is used as it can convey the author’s idea in a better way than direct translations can.Go shit (die) (去屎(死)). Similar to the earlier note.
