Chapter 2500 Father, I am a Fire Demon (1)
Zhang Yi's sword swept out with the ease of slicing a watermelon.
Antimatter transformed into a massive sword curtain, slashing towards Ran Yutian, who was trying to escape.
The sword was incredibly fast. Rather than saying it was fast, it was more accurate to say that it had anticipated Ran Yutian's escape route and was "waiting" there for him to run into it.
When that sword was unleashed, Ran Yutian, whose body was engulfed in raging flames, actually felt an extreme sense of panic!
It was as if he had encountered a natural enemy, causing his core to cool down!
That sword was too fast; his massive body didn't have time to dodge. In the instant he reacted, his body was directly struck!
Because the sword was so sharp, no sound was made.
However, his towering shadow, thousands of meters tall, had its ten fiery crowns on its back extinguished one by one in the fierce wind.
Most of its body was a huge mountain. It crashed down in mid-air and slammed into the ocean of lava, causing a giant wave of lava thousands of meters high!
"Could it be... that I'm going to die?"
"No! I am the Fiery Overlord of the Zhurong Clan. With the new era approaching, I should lead my people to become the Gods' Blessed in this new era!"
"How can I die here?!"
He looked up defiantly, spewing out aimless fire rain, trying to burn everything to ashes—
The Dreamer's main guns have reached their second salvo!
"Rapid fire!"
The three ships joined forces, their main guns firing in rapid succession, the beams of light striking Ran Yutian's upper body with a "tap, tap, tap" sound like heartbeats.
"Let's return to Ether!"
Zhang Yi said lightly.
With a swift slash of his sword, Ran Yutian anticipated all of his movements, whether attacking or fleeing.
Zhang Yi had an absolute crushing advantage over this kind of purely physical ability user.
With his right hand wielding the Eternal Sword of Judgment, he used the Dark Realm Flow to break through the opponent's defenses and devour their energy.
His left hand unleashed a dimensional string dissociation, a sudden attack that was impossible to defend against.
Zhang Yi, as the main force, restricted his movements, which gave Lu Keran an excellent opportunity to launch a sneak attack. The roar of the main guns repeatedly caused serious damage to Ran Yutian.
"Roar!!!"
Ran Yutian's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, but his anger could not change the predetermined outcome.
The dimensional string solution converges for the last time, and all the previously cut mega-blocks lose their fulcrum on the same beat.
The kilometer-tall giant finally collapsed silently, like a molten mountain stripped of its roots, crumbling from its chest outwards in all directions.
The roar followed, and the sea of fire surged with hundreds of crimson waves, but these waves were then fiercely suppressed by energy cannons, turning into muffled thunder that exploded in succession at the Earth's core.
Dust, fire, and light all vanished at the same moment.
Above the molten river, only Zhang Yi stood suspended in mid-air.
In his palm, a dark golden crystal lay dormant.
The origin of the Knight Rank.
In the past, he had to expend the entire nation's resources, devise elaborate schemes, and seek aid from all sides to defeat a mere knight-level warrior like Zheng Lou.
But now, he is much stronger than he was back then.
He carefully put the energy crystal away, and suddenly Ling's voice rang in his ears.
This was the first time Ling had taken the initiative to contact him.
"Zhang Yi, can I have that energy core?"
"No."
Zhang Yi refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding me? This thing is incredibly useful to him! Do you really think he's some kind of tycoon?
"I've become stronger, and I can help you."
"Let's talk about this later, we can discuss it further."
Zhang Yi chuckled and managed to fool Ling. Ling wasn't good at communicating, so she could only fall silent.
Zhang Yi turned around and looked at everyone.
At this moment, every single member of the Tianhai team was trembling with excitement!
This is the first time that they have single-handedly swept aside an alien race with a knight-level powerhouse in charge!
They are no longer the pathetic little group they once were, whose homes were arbitrarily destroyed by the Wuluan Empire, forcing them to flee to distant lands.
"Same old rules, sweep everything away! Next, a great battle awaits us!"
The Shadow Troops slowly exhaled their hot breaths. Baili Changqing's knuckles turned white as he gripped his hammer. Deng Shentong's sword trembled slightly. Lu Dahai emerged from the shadows. Xiao Honglian's flames narrowed into a single point in his palm.
Zhang Yi raised his eyes and looked deeper underground.
He knew that the other two overlords of the Fiery Prison of the Kingdom of Zhurong were already on their way.
"Combustible! Fleet, stand ready for battle! Attack on my command!"
"Yes, brother!"
Zhang Yi stood up in the sky again, like a black blade stuck above the molten river.
The roar of the molten battlefield gradually subsided, leaving only the low tide of magma breathing underground.
"Reclaim the source, take stock of the spoils, send the wounded for treatment, and the rest is—clear the field!"
With just one word from Zhang Yi, the Tianhai Army Corps immediately sprang into action, like a silent set of gears.
The mechanical legion unleashed a black tide-like grid, gathering up the shattered lava chunks and the remaining primordial fragments of the bishop.
Even their corpses were not wasted; they were considered to have research value and were collected for Zhou Ke'er to slice and study.
The Shadow Squad swept up the remaining forces of Zhu Rong, who were still struggling.
Skysea Fortress moved slowly under the dome, like a moving city. Where the light shield passed, the turbulent currents calmed and the flames retreated.
"Fire Demon, guide the way. Now is your chance to prove yourself."
Zhang Yi looked up at the dog-like Zhu Rong spy, Huo Gui, not far away.
Fire Ghost immediately stepped forward obsequiously, lowering his posture.
“My lord, the Lava River is merely the outskirts. Crossing the ridge from here, seven hundred miles away lies the second layer of the molten zone, and two thousand miles further down is the City of Flame Prisons—the very heart of the Kingdom of Zhu Rong.”
He stretched out his finger and pressed it on a temporarily unfolded rock map, pointing out more than a dozen nodes: "Outpost, energy storage well, armor-casting nest, legion warehouse... I know the location of every single one of them, and I also know their hiding places."
Zhang Yi nodded: "Lead the way quickly."
The strong fell one after another in battle, and the remaining members of the Zhu Rong clan were powerless to resist.
All geothermal energy resources are collected by a special technology that can seal the heat energy within a special type of red rock.
The Tianhai team didn't hesitate to take them all down in one fell swoop.
Some members of the Zhurong tribe lived beneath the lava ocean, trying to escape the disaster, but they were dug out by the fire demons themselves.
The mournful cries echoed across the sky of the Zhu Rong clan. They wailed and begged for mercy, but having experienced a war that had destroyed their country, their hearts were hardened as iron.
Fire Demon led the group around three patrol lines, two energy storage wells, and a ley line communication corridor.
He knew it like the back of his hand; he knew exactly which side of the path to take to avoid the flame detection, and which rocky outcrop to hug to avoid being seen.
After turning through a narrow, long cavern, the view suddenly opened up, and he found the refuge of the Zhu Rong clan.
"These damned lowly people, they actually think they can hide? Humph, do they really think I can't find them?"
Fire Demon snorted coldly and led his team straight in.
