Chapter 2479 Magma Organisms (1)
Beneath the blazing sky, the air trembled like shattered glass.
Lu Shao's fragmented corpse fell into the lava and was gradually burned. Before the ashes had completely dissipated, Xu Tun and Huo Gui looked at each other in utter terror.
Their pupils contracted simultaneously, the flames at the bottom of their eyes almost extinguished by that indescribable pressure.
That feeling—it was like standing before the Creator.
Xu Tun spoke first, his voice hoarse and cold, as if he were forcibly suppressing his fear.
"Ha... Sixth-generation humans, do you think that killing Lu Shao will put you on par with the Zhu Rong clan?"
His laughter was low and hoarse, yet carried a hint of near-collapse and ferocity.
"You think you're strong? That's just a fleeting illusion! We, the Zhurong clan, control the source of fire, bestowed upon us by the Creator—the power of destruction!"
The fire demon roared in agreement, its entire being seemingly transforming fear into rage: "You are nothing but a flawed sixth-generation being! We are the true bloodline of the gods! You think you can overthrow the entire race by yourself? What a joke!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Zhang Yi made a move.
Just for a moment.
He was standing on scorched earth several kilometers away when, in the next moment, a flash of light appeared in the space.
Zhang Yi's figure had already appeared in front of Xu Tun and Huo Gui.
Space travel, arriving in an instant.
The distance between the two points had lost its meaning in his eyes.
He didn't deliberately release any aura, but the powerful pressure from his instant kill of Lu Shao had almost made Xu Tun and Huo Gui's heads explode!
Fear! The fear of death gripped their hearts, leaving these two powerful warriors of the Zhurong clan feeling cold all over!
Almost instinctively, Xu Tun raised his hands and ignited the unique Burning Realm Flame of the Zhu Rong Clan!
That's high thermal energy, enough to melt metal and evaporate space.
But before the release was complete, a finger casually pointed at his head.
"It's noisy."
Zhang Yi's voice was calm, even carrying a hint of impatience.
silence.
There was no explosion.
No screams.
Starting from the top of his head, Xu Tun's body was sliced open as if by an invisible blade, with cracks spreading rapidly like a spider web.
The next second, he silently disintegrated, turning into ashes, and even his energy was completely annihilated.
The fire demon was completely dumbfounded.
Fear made his muscles stiffen so much that he couldn't breathe.
He could hardly believe his eyes—a warrior of the White Archbishop rank, who didn't even have time to react in the hands of the other party.
"You...you killed Xu Tun?!"
His voice almost changed tone.
Zhang Yi didn't answer, but simply looked up at him indifferently.
In that instant, the fire demon's hair stood on end.
First and foremost, there is extreme fear!
Then, his fear turned into rage, and he roared and howled, his whole body engulfed in crimson flames!
"Aaaaaah!!! You should just die—!"
His body transformed into a streak of crimson light, blazing with flames, like a falling meteorite, hurtling straight towards Zhang Yi!
The flames surged and the energy surged like a tidal wave!
At that moment, the entire world was devoured by the energy of the fire demon!
The intense heat distorted the light, the earth melted into magma, and scorching red mist filled the surrounding air.
however--
When everything calmed down.
Zhang Yi remained standing in the same spot.
The space around him glowed with a dark light, forming a semi-transparent circular position.
All the flames, shockwaves, and energy bodies... vanished without a trace the moment they touched that layer of space, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
Dimensional Gate.
That was a space that devoured all energy, Zhang Yi's private domain.
The Fire Demon's all-out attack seemed to be thrown into nothingness, without even causing a ripple.
"This is impossible... impossible!" The fire demon's eyes had completely collapsed, and he roared as he retreated.
Zhang Yi slowly raised his hand.
"Rebellion is interesting, but—"
The words have not yet fallen.
The silver-black chain slid out from his right arm like a snake, stretching out to tens of meters in an instant.
The surface of the chains shimmered with cold runes, breathing as if they were alive.
"It's so ugly."
The sound of chains ripping through the air was sharp and deadly.
"Whoosh-"
The fire demon's figure froze for a moment, and the next instant, all four of his limbs were severed at the same time, the cuts smooth and clean, even possessing a violent beauty.
Blood and molten flames gushed out simultaneously, accompanied by the sound of metal breaking.
Before he could even scream, the chain automatically spiraled upwards, like a venomous snake coiling around its prey, completely binding him.
Each tightening of the chains produced a piercing crackling sound, destroying the energy nodes within his body inch by inch.
“Ahhhh——!!”
The fire demon's screams tore through the heavens and earth, echoing amidst the flames.
Zhang Yi extended his left hand and gently pressed it against the fire ghost's chest.
The runes on the chains flashed, and the smart devices and communication modules on his body instantly exploded.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Zhang Yi's tone was as calm as if he were stating a fact.
Because a living tongue still has its uses.
He turned around and looked at Zhuque, Xuanwu, and Tu Yunlie, who were speechless with shock.
"You guys go back."
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if the battle that had just taken place was nothing to mention.
"I'll handle the rest as I see fit."
"We'll see what happens"—this phrase carries multiple meanings, implying that Zhang Yi won't stop here and will definitely make bigger moves later.
However, none of them dared to ask any more questions, as Zhang Yi's performance today had completely shocked them.
They could only look up at the back of this transcendent being and trace his footsteps.
……
At the edge of the inferno, Zhang Yi's silhouette was fluttering in the evening breeze, his clothes moving silently.
The flames in the world died out at his feet, leaving only embers whispering in the wind.
At that moment, everyone understood—
The war was over the moment he appeared.
The fire demon was bound by the divine chains, and its entire form had been reduced to its original state.
His body was charred black; the blazing flames had long since died down, leaving only embers shimmering on his skin.
Zhang Yi grabbed him by the neck, dragging him back to Tianhai Fortress like a giant, flaming serpent that had lost its dignity.
Inside the fortress, the light was warm.
Yang Xinxin had been stationed at Tianhai Fortress for less than five minutes when Zhang Yi returned.
Seeing the human pig he was carrying, she blinked and asked with a faint smile, "This is a warrior of the Zhurong clan? A very interesting life form, able to survive in magma."
"No wonder some people say that the Creator likes to roll dice! Even the creation of life is so casual."
"Whatever, this thing has already appeared, and it's right here on Huaxu Kingdom's territory. So we need to find out more about this tribe!"
Zhang Yi let go of her hand.
"Let's give it a try. If it's a troublesome race, we'll prepare to flee and head to the Uluan Empire's stronghold."
"If that race's strength is just average... hehe."
Zhang Yi sneered, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
"They're about to be in big trouble!"
