Chapter 2494 Liusui (1)
Liang Yue did not give him a second chance to breathe fire.
Her knife didn't have any other tricks; she simply returned to the starting point, took a slight breath once more, and firmly planted her feet on the broken rock surface.
Her heart calmed down a little more. The blade fell an inch, like a drop of water falling into a deep well, its depths unfathomable.
The second, very soft "click".
The crack ran through the abdominal cavity, across the back, and into the ground.
The enormous lava behemoth finally collapsed backward, splashing fire everywhere.
The fire in his chest was still struggling, but he could no longer muster a full breath of heat.
Yan Zhang gasped for breath, and the fire crowns dimmed one by one.
He stared at the seemingly ordinary knife, forcing out a sentence from his throat: "Your...knife...how—"
Even on his deathbed, he couldn't believe that his incredibly strong body had been so easily severed by such a small knife.
Liang Yue sheathed her sword and bowed slightly, as if paying homage to a powerful figure.
She remained silent, leaving only the words: "It's not a single cut, but a single thought, a single intention."
A single thought can last forever; if you keep something in mind, it will surely resonate.
A sword master once said that concentrated will can pierce through stubborn rock, and that is the meaning of the saying.
Yan Zhang's giant fist slowly slammed down onto the crack in his chest, powerless to do anything about it.
His vision was blurred by the falling fire rain, and all he could hear was the low rumble of flowing lava.
He wanted to stand up again, fight again, and breathe fire again, but every fire vein in his body felt as if it had been pierced by a fine needle, and he could no longer gather any strength.
Liang Yue turned around, her back view clean and crisp.
The scabbard gently touched her leg armor, making a crisp "ding" sound, like the end of a long breath.
She didn't look back at the fallen giant shadow, but kept her steps steady—respecting her opponent and her own blade.
In the distance, Yang Xinxin gathered her data and spoke calmly: "Her sword energy and his fist were always only half an inch apart. When the rock armor thickened to its limit and its structure was at its tightest, it was actually the most brittle. That was the moment she seized."
Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction: "In terms of attack power, she is gradually approaching Li Changgong's level!"
In terms of overall combat strength, she has surpassed Li Changgong.
The fire rain was still falling.
The thin crack in the ground stretched from Yan Zhang's chest to ten zhang behind him, as if someone had drawn a line with a ruler.
The intense heat dissipated on both sides of that line, eventually leaving only wisps of hot air shimmering in the air.
The strong have finally fallen silent.
……
Deep within the sea of fire, Liu Sui walked up the lava steps, his ten fingers slightly spread, and thin, bright red lines stretched from his fingertips, like shooting stars stretched straight in the night.
He looked at his opponent, a black tabby cat no bigger than a palm. Although it was the first time he had seen such a creature on the land, he found it quite unusual.
"Is this my opponent? It's so small, looks fluffy, and is very lazy. Can it really fight?"
Even Liu Sui couldn't help but have some doubts.
Hua Hua stretched and yawned, then sharpened its claws on the rocky ground.
After doing all this, it finally raised its head and looked at the firefly.
The languor in his eyes vanished completely, leaving behind only human shrewdness and naked fighting spirit!
Hua Hua's superpower index has reached a terrifying 36000 points!
In terms of pure combat strength, he is second only to Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin.
There was nothing they could do; Zhang Yi liked to feed it all the time, and as long as it kept eating, it could keep growing.
Its intelligence is now on par with, and even surpasses, that of some humans.
"Meow-"
A cat's roar resounded through the heavens and earth, and Hua Hua's body suddenly grew to a gigantic size, becoming a behemoth over two hundred meters tall!
With a loud "bang!", a pair of enormous black wings unfolded on its back, causing a massive storm to erupt!
Two black iron tails swept across its back like pythons.
The black and gold demonic armor closed along the shoulder blades, and the nanoblade at the end swayed gently, drawing out a crescent-shaped cold light.
Seeing Hua Hua's fighting stance, Liu Sui's eyes remained calm, carrying an innate sense of superiority.
"A beast-like alien? No, to be precise, it was originally a beast. Well tamed. But once it enters my Fireline Domain, any creature will be neatly shredded."
As Liu Sui spoke, faint but dense red lights appeared in the air around him, like the laser network protecting treasures in a movie.
The heat energy is condensing and spreading in the air, poised to unleash a fatal blow at any moment!
Hua Hua simply tilted her head slightly and listened intently.
It listens to the direction of the heat flow, to the tension and vibration of each wire!
Felines have extremely keen senses; they can detect even the slightest abnormality.
The next instant, Liu Sui raised his palm.
"Feel the pain of being cut into countless strands by endless superheated threads!"
Thousands of fire threads burst forth from fingertips! Weaving a giant net in the air!
Each line carries heat and tension, slicing the rock face into thin slices as smooth as a mirror as it brushes against the rock wall!
"Burning Veins Weaving Heaven!"
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with red lines!
Hua Hua pounced suddenly!
It didn't dash in a straight line, but instead leaped between rocky corners and ruins in a feline "S" shape, stepping on nine different spots, its body appearing as nine afterimages!
The fire line grazed past them, and a ring of tiny sparks ignited around the edge of their armor, only to be instantly extinguished by the automatic cooling layer!
Zhang Yi was more concerned about Hua Hua's battle; after all, it's not surprising to care more about one's own pet.
"No wonder they sent Hua Hua to deal with this guy. Cats are experts at playing with yarn! Only Hua Hua's reaction speed and agility can easily handle such a troublesome opponent."
Liu Sui's gaze sharpened: "Not bad speed! But you can't escape my net—"
In his hands, the red thermal threads were manipulated swiftly, like cat's cradle.
Throughout the space, the dense red threads appeared extremely chaotic, but in reality, they were perfectly orderly, woven into a huge net to completely envelop and strangle Hua Hua!
Hua Hua is incredibly fast, galloping on all fours, and possesses the ability to fly. Like a clever thief dodging a laser network, she always manages to slip through the gaps.
But at a certain moment, Hua Hua's body suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Its heterochromatic eyes narrowed, staring intently at Liu Sui, who was manipulating the silk threads to strangle it in the distance. Suddenly, it raised its head, gathered strength in its chest, and its vocal cords exploded!
"Roar--"
A loud roar!
The sound waves overlapped in layers amidst the sea of fire, the air seemed to be rippled by the claws of a ferocious beast, and all the fire lines shifted at the same instant!
The tension of the netting was disrupted, and dozens of red wires snapped with a snap, exploding into rings of sparks in mid-air!
"Using a beast's roar to create a powerful sound wave to sever my thermal energy threads? Interesting..."
With a flick of his wrist, Liu Sui instantly replaced the broken wire, and a new wire shot out from the gap in his armor. With a slight tremor of his fingertips, the net closed up!
"But my silk threads can cover the entire lava river, they are endless!"
