Chapter 664: Killing the Red Robe
After unleashing that black pillar of fire, the patterns on the Inferno Pulse Earth Dragon’s body quickly dulled, and its wings seemed to flutter uncertainly.
Under the pitch-black night sky, the Inferno Pulse Earth Dragon circled halfway before returning to Lin Qiye’s side, landing on the rooftop, its orange-yellow vertical pupils revealing an unprecedented fatigue.
“Red Face, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
The Inferno Pulse Earth Dragon let out a low hum towards Lin Qiye, folding its wings against its body. The latter nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand gently, and sent Red Face back to the Divine Mental Hospital.
“What happened?” Shen Qingzhu asked.
“Bloodline awakening. She needs time to digest her innate power and will likely need to sleep for a while.”
Shen Qingzhu nodded and turned to look in the direction of the Red Robed Oracle. The flames around him had all been devoured by Red Face, and the temperature dropped rapidly. Although faint flames still flickered in the air, they were now within a bearable range.
Now is the best time to kill him.
The two exchanged glances and simultaneously leaped from the top of the building. The howling wind swept past their bodies, and just as they were about to touch the ground, two branches burst from the earth, wrapping around them like soft ropes, swinging through the air in a magnificent arc, shooting towards the distant Red Robed Oracle!
“Mu Mu.”
“Hey!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!
Three mounted missiles shot out from Mu Mu’s body, trailing long flames as they flew straight towards the Red Robed Oracle’s face!
Without the protection of high temperatures, the Red Robed Oracle, under the control of artificial intelligence, attempted to evade the three attacks. However, the angles of the missiles fired by Mu Mu were exceptionally tricky, completely sealing off all his escape routes.
Boom—!!
Three blazing fireballs exploded in the air, blasting the already melted ground into three terrifying deep craters. The deafening explosion mixed with the howling wind, sweeping up into the night sky.
The Red Robed Oracle’s figure was completely engulfed by these three fireballs!
At the same time, the two, suspended in the air by the tree demon’s branches, had reached the edge of the burning scene. Shen Qingzhu glanced at Lin Qiye beside him and spoke seriously:
“Six seconds, is that enough?”
“Enough.”
Lin Qiye didn’t need to ask what Shen Qingzhu meant; there was an absolute tacit understanding between them. He nodded.
Shen Qingzhu raised his right hand and gently snapped his fingers in the air!
Snap—!!
A vacuum passage opened up in front of them, repelling all flames outside. At the end of this vacuum passage was the Red Robed Oracle, who was in a dire state after being hit by the missiles.
At this moment, his red robe had been completely burned away, and much of his flesh had been blown off, revealing an unknown metallic structure inside, reflecting a silvery glow in the firelight. If it weren’t for these modified body structures, his flesh would have surely been unable to withstand such a level of attack.
The instant this vacuum passage appeared, Lin Qiye released the branches, using inertia to accurately fly into the passage, his hands behind his back, swiftly drawing out the two straight blades strapped to him!
Six seconds was the longest time Shen Qingzhu could maintain the “Qi Min” under the mysterious gaze.
He had to kill the mechanical state Red Robed Oracle within these six seconds!
Otherwise, once this time passed, the Oracle would reignite flames in the air, and when the temperature soared to a level that their bodies could no longer endure, they would be completely helpless… Red Face had already fallen into slumber and could not come out to help them devour flames again.
There was only one chance!
A killing intent flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes as he passed through the vacuum passage and landed in front of the Red Robed Oracle. Beneath his floral bathrobe, two streaks of blade light reached their peak!
The bloodied Red Robed Oracle stood there, the light ring in his left eye instantly locking onto Lin Qiye. Almost simultaneously, his body reacted with astonishing speed, twisting his bones at an incredible angle to evade Lin Qiye’s fatal strike.
Yet even so, the blade light still severed one of his arms!
The straight blade sliced through the Red Robed Oracle’s body, and Lin Qiye distinctly felt the resistance within; it was the sensation of a blade cutting through metal. If it weren’t for the current vacuum state, sparks would likely have flown.
Having failed to kill the Red Robed Oracle with one strike, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly. Using inertia to turn, he flipped the straight blades in his hands like butterflies, gripping them in reverse.
At the same time, two extreme shades of ghostly light ignited in Lin Qiye’s palms!
A deep night color climbed up the blade’s edge, and with Lin Qiye’s movement, it slashed out a cross in front of him like lightning. The night color tore through the air, as if to cut down the stars in the sky. In that instant, all of Lin Qiye’s mental energy poured out without reservation!
Boom—!!
Two exaggerated ghostly cross blade lights sliced through the Red Robed Oracle’s body, diagonally piercing through over ten tall buildings, causing them to collapse with a thunderous crash, ultimately shooting into the sky and carving a long cross mark through the thick clouds.
This was the second ability Lin Qiye learned from the essence of the night, “Star Rending Technique.”
Unlike Nyx’s pure magical “Star Rending Technique,” Lin Qiye combined this ability with his own swordsmanship, successfully lowering the threshold for release. Although it was somewhat lacking in power and coverage compared to the original, it was already sufficient for Lin Qiye.
With the essence of the night, Lin Qiye no longer needed to rigidly apply the abilities of the Night Goddess; he had the freedom to modify or even create abilities. Once he fully mastered this essence of the night, the divine laws he needed would automatically emerge.
After executing this strike, Lin Qiye instantly felt that mysterious gaze shift from Shen Qingzhu to himself.
In that brief moment, the mental energy he had unleashed was too immense. Fortunately, Shen Qingzhu’s “Qi Min” had dispersed some of the gaze, and since it lasted only an instant, he wasn’t directly locked onto.
Feeling an unprecedented sense of pressure, Lin Qiye could only barely maintain the posture of completing his strike, standing still as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to the ground…
This strike was still too risky.
But if he hadn’t used this strike, he wouldn’t have been confident in killing the Red Robed Oracle within the remaining three seconds. At that point, the situation would only become more dire than it was now.
Fortunately, the outcome was favorable.
Lin Qiye raised his eyes and saw that the Red Robed Oracle’s body had been completely sliced into four pieces, lying limply on the ground. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his pupils suddenly constricted!
Inside the fallen body of the Red Robed Oracle, a fireball suddenly ignited, completely shattering the corpse while engulfing Lin Qiye’s figure!
A world-shaking explosion surged beneath the night sky.
