Chapter 1458: Chapter 463: Green-eyed Fire Suanni, Battle Royale and Advancement, Furious Counterattack, Trial’s Upheaval (Part 3)
I’m afraid it won’t even take a hundred breaths before it’s completely leveled to the ground.
And behind the mountains, within the blood-colored miasma, there unexpectedly appeared a colossal entity.
Its body was covered with a layer of light blue mane, its shoulders towering a hundred zhang tall, its body length at least over two hundred zhang, standing immobile like a gigantic mountain, causing terror in the hearts of those who saw it;
Its neck and back were covered with long, red and cyan mane.
No, that’s not mane, but flowing blue and red flames, those flames emitted a strong light, so bright that it pierced through the miasma, encircling its massive head like a terrifying sun rising within the Blood Miasma;
The four pitch-black claw blades anchored on the ground were constantly emitting blue and red fire, not to mention the accumulated snow, even the dust and stones on the ground were incinerated and evaporated, emitting thick smoke that made it seem as though its massive body was floating in mid-air;
The most terrifying were its cyan-gold vertical pupils, devoid of any beastly madness, filled only with boundless coldness and insight, intensely fixed on Xia Hong, exuding a murderous intent mixed with a hint of mockery.
"Fire Element, Five Luminaries Realm, Beast Emperor..."
Xia Hong immediately associated these three terms in his mind, then raised his head to look at the colossal being in front of him. His first reaction wasn’t fear but rather an inexplicable dry mouth and tongue caused by extreme panic.
If he had to find a comparison within familiar things, Xia Hong first thought of a lion from his past life. But this Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor in front of him, aside from a silhouette somewhat similar, bore no traits of a lion at all.
"Suan Ni, Green-eyed Fire Suanni, this term should be more fitting!"
Xia Hong quickly found a term adequate to describe this Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor from the sparse inventory in his mind.
The dragon has nine sons, and the one most similar to a lion is the Suan Ni.
Green-eyed Fire Suanni, the name suits it well enough!
"Roar......."
At this moment, Xia Hong wore a bitter smile, finding some amusement in naming the Beast Emperor amidst adversity.
The Fire Suanni suddenly roared in anger, and a stream of azure magma unexpectedly erupted from the spot where Xia Hong was standing.
Having suffered once before, Xia Hong knew he couldn’t afford a repeat!
The moment the fire pillar erupted, Xia Hong didn’t hesitate, immediately dashing westward in a desperate escape.
Puh...
"If I get burned again, I’ll really be bare-assed!"
Xia Hong spat a mouthful of bloody foam, looked at his tattered clothing, and teased himself bitterly. He had bought this outfit in Cai Qiu, and luckily it had a lot of silver thread in it; if it were ordinary clothes, they would have been incinerated in an instant earlier.
Of course, the clothes were just for self-deprecation!
Right now, Xia Hong couldn’t find a single patch of unscathed skin on his body. The intensity of the fire unleashed by the Suan Ni aside, what counted was the instant the fire pillar hit him; he distinctly felt the force of at least eighty Jun or more.
You see, this fire pillar was merely a casual technique unleashed by that Fire Suanni, likely not even one of its formidable attacks, and yet the energy amounted to over eighty Jun. How formidable could its true power be?
"This Green-eyed Fire Suanni should be a sole Fire Element Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor. With a single blast of its Fire Tribulation Qi, it can strip my entire skin membrane and flesh. A few more times, and I’m doomed. And this is merely a Tribulation Qi trick, its true strength..."
Whoosh........
Without giving Xia Hong a moment to speculate, the Green-eyed Fire Suanni did not grant him any chance to escape. Its vast body, in less than ten breaths, pursued him from behind, its right forelimb’s jet-black iron claw pounced suddenly, igniting the Blood Miasma with three streaks of claw marks, visually appearing as though three slashes were torn into space.
Clang........
Even in his panic, Xia Hong could only raise the Shattered Star Sword to parry, and with a clang of the blade, he was immediately swatted diagonally and hit the ground.
In the split second before hitting the ground, Xia Hong took the second weapon, the Coiling Dragon Stick, from the Yellow Mustard Bag, propping it against the ground at an angle. Using the stick’s flexibility, he sprang up, suppressing the turbulent blood flow in his chest and continued his mad, life-threatening escape to the west.
"At least thirty percent stronger than me, at least 130... no, 135 Jun!"
Thus, the fake Xia Hong just before didn’t let up the chase because he abandoned pursuit, but because it no longer saw value in doing so.
This Green-eyed Fire Suanni is indeed the opponent’s ultimate move!
Xia Hong’s pupils trembled, his expression turned exceptionally grim at the hindsight realization, yet he had no luxury for such thoughts now, with azure magma fire pillars erupting one after another from the ground, and the Fire Suanni drawing ever closer. He could only frantically continue his escape to the northwest direction.
South leads deeper into the Blood Miasma Plain, and east heads back to Cai Qiu’s 21st district. His only chance was to flee northwest to see if he could escape the Blood Miasma Zone.
"There’s another way..."
At this critical juncture, Xia Hong unleashed his full power, his left eye flickering with faint light, constantly scanning his surroundings. Seeing the molten fire pillars he had dodged inadvertently killing many advanced Cold Beasts and even Beast Kings, a vicious gleam flashed across his face.
"See how fierce you can be!"
He turned back to glance at the relentless Fire Suanni pursuing him, and with a chilling laugh, he unexpectedly twisted himself toward the ground, aiming right at the slain Beast Kings and advanced Cold Beasts.
"Saved me the effort!"
The fire pillars summoned by the Fire Suanni had a diameter of at least five to six meters, and those hidden advanced Blood Cold Beasts were instantly liquefied, not to mention the Beast Kings. The ground was littered with shattered Blood Jade Pearls and Blood Jade Crystals, and Xia Hong grabbed them indiscriminately, stuffing them straight into his mouth without any regard.
