#38 - The Last Flame Bomb

At the critical moment, Bai Yan's body reacted instinctively.

Her wings flapped with all their might, and her body suddenly accelerated, so the fireball that was originally aimed at her torso narrowly passed by her.

Bai Yan instantly unleashed all her strength, narrowly dodging this long-planned attack.

Bai Yan was startled by this sudden attack, breaking out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly flapped her wings to ascend, moving away from Huo Wu's firing range.

"Damn it!"

Huo Wu felt very regretful when she saw that Teacher Bai Yan had dodged the attack.

Quan Yi also solemnly raised his head and looked at Bai Yan.

This was Quan Yi's plan. Although Teacher Bai Yan's request was to last for fifteen minutes, Quan Yi didn't intend to be passively beaten like this.

If it were just Quan Yi alone, Quan Yi would definitely not be able to counterattack. However, if Huo Wu was added, the two of them could work together to try to launch an attack.

Bai Yan indeed did not anticipate Huo Wu's attack.

Because Quan Yi's strength overshadowed Huo Wu's brilliance, she couldn't help but overlook Huo Wu.

Moreover, Quan Yi's actions further misled her into thinking that Huo Wu was an object being protected by Quan Yi. After all, abandoning her field of vision also meant that Huo Wu had given up on defense.

This also made her completely unexpected that Huo Wu was the real offensive end.

This really gave Bai Yan a surprise.

However, Bai Yan dodged this long-planned strike.

This fact also made Bai Yan completely lose her scruples. ☞ ♦     ♦ ♦

Through this attack, Bai Yan completely confirmed one thing, that Huo Wu's attack would no longer be able to threaten her.

She could dodge it even when she was unprepared, and Bai Yan, who was already on guard, would be even less likely to be attacked by Huo Wu.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu also understood this point. Next, Teacher Bai Yan would attack Huo Wu from the air without any reservations.

As expected, Teacher Bai Yan quickly swooped down, rapidly approaching Huo Wu.

"Flame Feather Assault."

Because it was an attack from above, the speed of the three feather arrows was a notch faster than normal.

"Flame Bullet."

Huo Wu immediately condensed a fireball to respond to Bai Yan's ranged attack.

"Boom!"

The Flame Bullet quickly collided with the feather arrows, and the Flame Bullet immediately exploded the moment they touched.

The attack distance of Bai Yan and Huo Wu's first soul skill was about the same, but because Bai Yan's attack was from top to bottom, her attack distance also increased a lot.

This also made Huo Wu only able to defend passively.

Bai Yan pressed her advantage, and feather arrows fell like raindrops.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The collision of Flame Bullets and feather arrows caused the sky to be covered in orange fireworks.

Although the condensing speed of the Flame Bullet was not as fast as the Flame Feather Assault, the impact and dazzling light generated by the explosion slowed down Bai Yan's offensive.

Huo Wu's soul power was consumed by a large margin in just a dozen seconds. The high concentration of spirit and the large consumption of soul power made Huo Wu's face a little pale.

Quan Yi also noticed Huo Wu's state, but he could not act rashly now.

Teacher Bai Yan's attack, in a sense, was more like 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao'. If Quan Yi wanted to help Huo Wu, then the two's formation would immediately collapse.

At that time, Huo Wu would be completely exposed in front of Teacher Bai Yan.

The situation at that time would be even worse.

Bai Yan did have this plan in mind, but when she saw that Quan Yi was unmoved and was only alert to other directions, she understood that she could only focus her attention on Huo Wu.

However, even if she couldn't shake Quan Yi, she could completely consume Huo Wu's soul power by relying on her advantage in soul power.

This was a very stupid method, but there was no way, Bai Yan's attack route was completely restricted by Quan Yi.

Her speed and attack were completely ineffective in front of Quan Yi's defense.

She could only attack Huo Wu remotely through a small defensive loophole above Quan Yi's head.

Eighth shot, ninth shot.

"Bang, bang!"

Huo Wu had only three shots left, and she couldn't hold on for much longer.

Fighting Bai Yan head-on was completely like drinking poison to quench thirst, only able to delay for a while.

However, being able to last until now had actually far exceeded Huo Wu's own expectations.

If it were the Huo Wu from a week ago, Huo Wu was sure that she would definitely not be able to last this long.

If it weren't for Quan Yi's stimulation, Huo Wu would definitely not have made such great progress.

Feeling the emptiness in her body caused by the lack of soul power, a look of madness flashed in Huo Wu's eyes.

The rain of red arrows in the sky was like a baptism, washing away Huo Wu's cowardice and inspiring Huo Wu's courage.

The Fire Shadow behind Huo Wu seemed to feel Huo Wu's high fighting spirit, and its color became more and more vivid.

Huo Wu raised her left hand, and both hands simultaneously condensed soul power, she was going to launch them at the same time. The shadow behind Huo Wu followed Huo Wu and made the same movements.

Two fireballs condensed at the same time, and their temperature far exceeded that of before. The heat wave blew up Huo Wu's long hair, revealing Huo Wu's resolute expression.

"Double Flame Bullet!"

Two Flame Bullets shot towards Bai Yan one after another. The first Flame Bullet directly hit the feather arrows, and the intense explosion instantly swept through the arrow rain.

A burst of orange light illuminated the entire sky. It dispelled Bai Yan's red arrow rain and also obscured the light of the second Flame Bullet.

Huo Wu grasped the timing very well. The explosion of the first Flame Bullet did not affect the flight of the second Flame Bullet. On the contrary, it opened up a passage for the second Flame Bullet.

From Bai Yan's perspective, there was only a piece of orange firelight. Her sharp eyes lost their sharpness in front of the powerful light.

Bai Yan completely did not expect Huo Wu's second Flame Bullet.

"Bang!"

An unexpected explosion, accompanied by intense fire and impact, swept towards Bai Yan.

Although the explosion did not directly act on Bai Yan, the distance was already very close. In addition, it was a sudden situation that Bai Yan did not expect at all, and her flight was hindered by the impact of the explosion.

Bai Yan could no longer maintain her continuous attack and could only try her best to maintain her balance first.

After all, Huo Wu's attack distance was still shorter than Bai Yan's in the air. Therefore, the purpose of Huo Wu's second Flame Bullet was not to hit Bai Yan.

Instead, it was to disrupt the opponent's rhythm through the explosion and buy herself some time.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Huo Wu shouted loudly.

"Xiao Yi!"

Quan Yi understood, and his hand quickly swept across the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest, taking out a palm-sized small stone.

Then, without turning his head, he handed the stone to Huo Wu behind him.

Huo Wu quickly took it, and then, held the stone in her right hand and pointed it in the direction of Bai Yan.

She was going to launch this stone up.

Huo Wu condensed all the soul power in her body in her right hand.

"Go!"

Along with Huo Wu's delicate shout, a scorching Flame Bullet rushed towards Bai Yan, who was still adjusting her posture, at lightning speed.

This was Huo Wu's last Flame Bullet.

Bai Yan also saw Huo Wu's Flame Bullet. Bai Yan, who had just stabilized her body, could only cross her wings and hold them in front of her when she saw the Flame Bullet close at hand.

After all, the attack distance of the Flame Bullet was not far, as long as she resisted the shock wave of the explosion.

However, it was precisely Bai Yan's wrong move that completely changed the course of the entire battle.
