The Battle Through Heaven
Race Against Time
Sha Tie's eyes stared intently at the green-colored flame rising from Xiao Yan's palm. Once the fire had materialized, he clearly sensed that/that the temperature between the trees rose a lot. His expression immediately became more serious as he looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment and asked, ” You are an alchemist? ”
In the Dou Qi continent, there were only two possibilities for one to be able to summon the Flame Essence. One of them was the Seed of Fire that had been obtained by an alchemist of different kinds of magical beasts that were different from Fire, which would then be refined for his own use.
Another possibility was that/that he was a strong person who practiced fire affinity Dou Qi. However, if one only wanted to rely on Dou Qi to derail the Flame Essence, one would at least have to be at the Dou Wang class before they could start thinking about succeeding. Of course, nothing is absolute. There were also some people who practiced Dou Qi from the fire affinity and were not alchemists but could obtain some strange flames for their own use. Similarly, the requirements placed on one's level of strength were extremely harsh. Looking at the current Xiao Yan, it was clear that/that he had yet to meet the requirements of the latter's possibilities. Therefore, Sha Tie immediately chose to voice the first possibility.
Xiao Yan did not answer Sha Tie's astonished words. A green-colored flame spread out from his hand, and quickly wrapped both of his hands in it. He raised his head slightly and an occasional green-colored light flared up in his dark black pupils.
’’ Bang! ’’
Xiao Yan's feet once again stepped on the ground. He could hear a clear muffled sound as his body turned into a pale green-colored blur that carried an extremely high temperature, and shot explosively towards Sha Tie.
The smoldering air that was pounding towards his face caused Tie Sha's eyebrows to constrict slightly. Although he could not determine the type of flame that Xiao Yan had summoned, he could vaguely guess that/it the strength of this flame was clearly not weak from the sharp rise in temperature around him.
Sha Tie's iron pagoda was like a body standing in the same place. He did not choose to avoid. The gold Dou Qi given to him gave him great attacking and defensive strength but it made him lose his agility. He knew that/that even if he wanted to dodge, he would definitely not be able to escape Xiao Yan's attack. Since this was the case, why would he bother to do something futile and instead risk exposing weakness in the process?
The hot air is getting closer. Sha Tie emitted a loud shout from his mouth and a golden-colored Dou Qi suddenly surged out from within his body. A golden light shot out and finally absorbed Xiao Yan into it. In an instant, it looked as if he was a person formed entirely of gold.
The hot atmosphere only diminished slightly after the Dou Qi Armor appeared. A golden fist like the enormous Sha Tie slowly tightened. Finally, it was discarded without fancy moves or skills.
Although Sha Tie's fist had no variation in his movements, the terrifying strength contained within it directly caused the air around Xiao Yan to become saturated with it. At this moment, absolute strength encompassed everything.
Xiao Yan's face was tense. The Dou Crystal within his body vortex repeatedly trembled. Wave after wave of powerful Dou Qi spat out. Finally, it quickly circulated within his Qi Path, allowing Xiao Yan to be filled with fighting strength.
The green-colored flame quickly covered his fist before suddenly attacking. It heavily collided with Sha Tie's fist in an impartial manner. In an instant, powerful ripples spread from the middle of the two of them, shaking and splitting several large trees near the two of them, forming several lines of cracks. The trees became unsteady and unstable.
The ferocious strength sent from their fists caused Xiao Yan to quickly take two steps back. On the other hand, Sha Tie's body only trembled a few times. It seemed that in terms of pure power competition, Xiao Yan was still a little weaker than Sha Tie.
Of course, Xiao Yan might have been shaken until he took two steps back but Sha Tie also felt a little uncomfortable. The green-colored flame on Xiao Yan's fist caused him great suffering. In the previous collision, his fist would likely be roasted until it was swelled by several layers were it not for the Dou Qi Armor isolating it. Although this was the case, Sha Tie's fist still had a weak pain.
Sha Tie's gaze unintentionally swept over the green-colored flame in Xiao Yan's hand. Shock flashed through his heart. It was not that he had never seen the flame of an alchemist. He had even fought with some students from the Alchemist Department in the Fighting Arena but the flames summoned by those students were unable to break through his Dou Qi Armor and caused him to even feel slightly injured. However, the strange green-colored flame in Xiao Yan's hands today possessed this kind of frightening unique ability. This caused Sha Tie to subconsciously feel a serious feeling in his heart.
As the thoughts in Sha Tie's heart quickly spun, Xiao Yan once again pounced towards him. This time, however, he gave up on a collision. Instead, he started using the advantage of his agility and repeatedly flashed around Sha Tie's body like a ghost. His fists often carried green-colored flames as they were disposed of, carrying the sound of metal Qiang Qiang clashing within the empty forest.
Sha Tie did not have too great of a response to Xiao Yan's almost continuous attacks. He avoided the people he could, and forcefully rejected those he could not. Occasionally, he would wave his heavy fist and the feeling of increasingly heavy strength on it caused Xiao Yan to have no choice but to pull back to avoid it.
As the fight of Xiao Yan and Tie Sha became increasingly fierce, some of the other battles also slowly entered the white-hot phase.
Perhaps it was because they had already fought before but the Dou Qi that was scattered on the surface of Hu Jia and Wu Hao's body started to become slightly dim after nearly six to seven minutes of battle. Hu Jia was a little better but Wu Hao's strength, speed, dodging ability, was, etc had already greatly decreased due to the weakening of the Dou Qi which resulted in him starting to be suppressed to an unfavorable position by his opponent of the ‘Black Demon Group. ‘
Compared to the two people who were each in a somewhat aggrieved situation, Xun Er was a complete opponent. A golden light shot out explosively from his palm. Her body was as beautiful as a wisp of light smoke while the speed attacking her was so fast that it caused countless shadows. Perhaps it was because he clearly understood that/it was Wu Hao and Hu Jia could not last long. Hence, he had no thoughts of maintaining his strength. Occasionally, he would display a powerful Dou Technique, forcing his opponent back until the latter was in a difficult spot. If not for his rich combat experience, it seemed like this unlucky member of ‘Black Demon Group’ would be the first to be defeated.
Outside of these three battlefields, there was the most chaotic battlefield. It was one where fifteen new students fought with the last ‘Black Demon Group’ members. Although there was a large number of new students, fifteen of them all had varying amounts of injuries due to their fight with the three groups led by Su Xiao earlier. It was naturally impossible for them to obtain victory now as they met a strong person whose strength was around the level of a five-star Da Dou Shi.
Therefore, in just less than ten minutes, five out of fifteen new students were already injured by the members of ‘Black Demon Group’ and had resigned. The remaining ten could only rely on their cooperation with each other to barely survive. However, it is clear that/it is not so good cooperation between them. Therefore, every two to three minutes, their opponent would find a gap and injure one of them until they lost the ability to continue fighting.
In these five battlefields in the wasteland, Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and the new students were all in an unfavorable situation. By relying on ‘Heavenly Flame,’ Xiao Yan was able to compete with Sha Tie for a while. However, if he did not use a decisive attack, it was clearly impossible for him to obtain victory. Therefore, among the five battlefields, only Xun Er had the full advantage.
On the current battlefield, which side could first free an extra pair of hands was of paramount importance. As long as there was someone who could defeat their opponent half a minute earlier than the others, this battle would probably quickly show indicators of victory to that side!
Everyone present on the battlefield, including all the new students who did not participate, understood this. Therefore, the gazes of all of them were firmly staring at the battlefield of Wu Hao and Xun Er. This was because these two places would be the two battlegrounds where they would be the first to gain victory or the first to lose.
The blood-colored Dou Qi spheres all over Wu Hao's body grew increasingly dim. Clearly, Dou Qi Wu Hao had already started to enter the stage where he was going to burn. When he had fought with Xiu Yan before, he had exhausted all of his strength. Now he had to undergo this kind of high cost battle. He would be able to survive even though he had consumed the ‘Pill’ Energy Recovery Pill Xiao Yan a moment ago.
The blood-colored heavy sword in his hand violently hacked at the opponent. However, his current level of strength and speed allowed opponents to easily dodge it. The latter's body flashed and appeared on Wu Hao's left side. The knife in his hand carried a sharp force as it hacked into Wu Hao's wrist. Immediately, Wu Hao's blood-colored sword left his hand. ‘Black Demon Group’ member let out a happy cold laugh. Dou Qi enveloped his hand and he immediately smashed into Wu Hao's chest. Seeing this momentum, it seemed like Wu Hao would be the first to be defeated if he were to be hit.
Under everyone's focus, his fists became increasingly close to Wu Hao. However, just as his fist was about to land on Wu Hao's body, Wu Hao's somewhat grayish face suddenly widened his eyes. Two blood lines flowed out from his nose. A rich killing aura surged out from his body as if he suddenly got a second wind before falling. A low and deep roar sounded from his throat. The originally dark and pale-colored blood Dou Qi once again became bright red. He tightened his fist and suddenly threw it away hard.
’’ Bang! ’’
When the two fists made contact, a muffled voice echoed nonstop on the open ground. Wu Hao's shoulder shook violently as the ‘Black Demon Group’ member let out a stifled groan. A thread of blood flowed from the corner of the last mouth. He took a few steps back as he slid onto the ground before he managed to stabilize his body. Raising his head, he looked at the paler face of Wu Hao with a mixture of shock and fury. Clearly, Wu Hao had displayed a certain Secret Technique that would surpass his strength for such a power to erupt instantly.
However, looking at the color on Wu Hao's face, it appeared that/it was currently he could no longer use this kind of Secret Technique to surpass his strength a second time.
’’ Hmph! ’’ The member of ‘Black Demon Group’ saw that/it Wu Hao had run out of steam and immediately snorted. He forcefully suppressed the wounds within his body as his body turned into a black shadow that once again shot towards Wu Hao.
’’ Bang! ’’
Just as he was only about five meters away from Wu Hao, a black shadow suddenly shot out. The member of ‘Black Demon Group’ was worried. His charging body forward stopped and immediately began to hurriedly retreat two steps.
As he retreated, the black shadow landed on the ground. The expression of the ‘Black Demon Group’ member was changed. This black shadow was actually the one who had fought against Xun Er a moment before.
A surprised expression flashed across his heart. He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a green-clothed young lady standing indifferently beside Wu Hao. A golden light enveloped his palm, piercing his eyes until they tensed up slightly.
