"It's coming!
Li Qingshan's eyes narrowed. He had personally experienced the power of the spear of fire in the past, and the giant god of fire right now was more than twice as powerful as before. Just how powerful would the spear be?
And, the timing of their attack was extremely ingenious. The surging flood was about to breach the protective formation on the outermost layer. The three Merfolk Kings were all focused on destroying the formation, so they were unable to spare any time to attack the giant god of fire. It was impossible for them to spare any time either, or they might just leave if the formation stabilised and lasted a little longer.
In other words, the only ones who could fend off the giant god of fire right now were Li Qingshan, Gongyuan, Ye Duanhai, the Divine Nun of the South Sea, and Ji Changfeng. Ji Changfeng was already utterly exhausted from fending off the meteors. The Divine Nun of the South Sea guarded the back of the battle formation from afar with Little Ann. No one was certain how much effort she would put in, or perhaps she would directly leave when she saw that the situation was not right.
The issue was they were not just dealing with the giant god of fire. The Fire Dragon of the Land wrapped in lightning and spewing fire definitely was not easy to deal with. The scarlet sun pressed down slowly. It seemed slow, but it was actually fast, falling towards the Merfolk battle formation like it could destroy everything. However, no one could stop the attack, so they were immediately wiped out.
Eight supreme experts had worked together and arrived with a great storm, yet when they truly clashed with the fire devourers, they actually faced great danger. Probably no one had imagined this.
In the heart of the giant god of fire, Zhu Yan stared at Li Qingshan beside Gongyuan with bone-deep hatred. His hatred for him was even deeper than his hatred for Gongyuan. If it were not for his interference, they would have killed Gongyuan twice already. Why would they have ended up like this? She was clearly just a piece of trash who had not even undergone the third heavenly tribulation!
The giant god of fire threw it as hard as it could. The spear of fire tore through the sky and shot towards the horizon.
Li Qingshan gripped Gongyuan's hand firmly. Gongyuan had already taken out the Heart of the Abyss and powered the power of Ruin's End, ready to fend off the enemy together. But in the next moment, their sense of danger suddenly eased up.
A streak of scarlet light flew over their heads. Surprisingly, the target of the flaming spear wasn't them, but Ji Changfeng, who was waving the Feilian Flag with all his might in an attempt to stop the descending scarlet sun.
It is better to break one finger than to injure ten fingers!
Zhu Yan understood that principle very well. Back then, even the Divine Sun Ray had failed to kill Li Qingshan. The might of this spear of flames was slightly weaker, so he had even less confidence in killing Li Qingshan. As a result, he targeted the weakest Ji Changfeng.
Ji Changfeng was startled. An unprecedented sense of danger filled his heart. It was even deeper and more intense than on Giant Ship Island. Wherever the spear pointed, he seemed to have turned from a lofty great cultivator into a prey in the forest. Even if he controlled the wind, he still couldn't escape.
"Sea-Break Division!"
An extremely brilliant sword light suddenly illuminated the heavens and the earth, suppressing the lightning and fire, seeming to split the heavens into two. At the same time, it cut off the trajectory of the flaming spear.
Ye Duanhai had finally taken action. His cloak drifted in the wind as he gripped the Sea-splitting sword in his hand. It was around a meter long and completely concealed. Just by looking at the sword, it was impossible to imagine that it could produce such a streak of light.
Great sword cultivators were truly terrifying. Li Qingshan secretly rejoiced. If they really had fallen out back then, who knew what the outcome would have been.
However, strangely enough, the spear of flames continued flying towards Ji Changfeng, but no one paid it another glance. Ji Changfeng moved with the wind, dodging the spear with a gentle flash. The spear of flames flew for another five kilometers before suddenly snapping and exploding into a ball of fire.
Ye Duanhai's strike had already severed its lock on to the giant god of fire. Once it lost its connection with the giant god of fire, all that remained was its form. It posed no threat at all to a great cultivator like Ji Changfeng who was renowned for his speed.
"Ye Duanhai, I spared you back then, yet you still dare to get involved and oppose Fire Melt mountain!" Zhu Fen bellowed furiously.
"If I were here back then, would you still be able to flee back to Fire Melt mountain?" Ye Duanhai said indifferently.
If the three Fire Devouring Kings had destroyed the Cloud Sail sect and killed everyone, then they would have shown them some kindness. However, they had been defeated, only managing to escape with their lives thanks to the King of Southern Yue's assistance. If they brought this up again, they would just be asking to be humiliated.
"Scarlet Sun in the Sky, Illuminating the World!"
Zhu Fen was utterly infuriated. He swung the Fire Tablet of Heaven as hard as he could, and the scarlet sun produced a thousand streaks of scarlet light, shooting towards the Merfolk battle formation below. Despite his fury, he still maintained his sharp senses for battle. As long as he wanted to kill a great sword cultivator like Ye Duanhai, it would not be easy. However, as long as he ended the battle of the Merfolk, Fire Melt mountain would immediately turn the tables and become invincible.
"Three Thousand Swords!" Ye Duanhai tossed out the Sea-splitting sword. It split into two, two into four, four into eight …
This was a sword technique that all sword cultivators practised. It demonstrated startling power in his hands. The three thousand Sea-splitting swords turned into three thousand streaks of light, criss-crossing through the air and colliding with the scarlet light.
However, the red sun quickly pressed down, the heat it emitted dispersing the thick layers of clouds and the cloud mountains, leaving only the cloud that the mermaids and mermen stood on. They felt the roaring wind turn into waves of heat that blew towards them.
Ji Changfeng was already powerless to stop it. Ye Duanhai had to deal with the scarlet light with his full strength, or most of the Merfolk would be dead before the scarlet sun even fell.
Li Qingshan and Gongyuan wanted to take action, but the giant god of fire had already stood on the huge dragon and charged over with Huofan in hand. The Fire Dragon of the Land shrank its head slightly, and lightning and fire surged out. There was a flash of light in the flames, and the tip of the spear of fire immediately filled their eyes.
This time, Zhu Yan did not attack anyone else. He poured all of his hatred and fury into the spear.
Li Qingshan wanted to draw his blade, but Gongyuan's voice rang out in his head, "Work together! Now is not the time for you to play the hero!"
"Yes, your majesty!"
"All Water to Ruin's End, Black Water as Deep as the Abyss!" Gongyuan raised the Heart of the Abyss high up, and surging black water surged out. Although it was not as violent as the flood below, it possessed an even deeper and colder feeling. It silently swallowed the Fire Dragon of the Land's lightning and fire, pressing towards it.
The spear of fire paused, and it was also covered in a layer of water. The giant god of fire let out a furious roar. The spear went against the flow, stabbing towards Li Qingshan as if it could still pierce through everything.
Gongyuan was about to cast another technique when Li Qingshan suddenly pulled her towards him. He said, "Hold onto me tightly!"
Gripping the blade with both hands, he leapt up and drew Tiger's Fang from its sheath. Blood-red light surged into the air as he slashed towards the tip of the spear.
Gongyuan shot him a glare, but all she could do was hug him tightly from behind. She chanted, "All Water to Ruin's End, Droplets of Water Turn to Ice!"
The difference between a blade and a spear of fire was like the difference between a toothpick and a spear. However, the moment the blade and the spear collided, the light that was unleashed caused the world to change color.
A massive sound drowned out the rumbling of thunder. Everyone's gazes were drawn over, watching as he attempted to challenge a god with his insignificant body.
A great power emanated from the spear of fire, causing Zhu Yan's eyes to widen. "How can he be so strong!?"
He had never seen Li Qingshan fight against the giant god of fire in the Asura Field. Although they had clashed once on the ocean, Li Qingshan had just taken a blow from the Divine Ray of the Sun and his flesh had been stripped away, leaving behind only tiger bones. He had not been able to unleash much of the strength of the ox demon. Now, not only was he full of vigor, he had even combined the power of the ox demon and tiger demon.
When brother ox had first taught him these two transformations, he had not taught him the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, but the "Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers". Although the strength of the tiger demon could not compare to that of the ox demon, it was still extremely powerful. Individually, it was stronger than the average Daemon King.
Now that Li Qingshan had five layers of the ox demon and five layers of the tiger demon, his strength was terrifying. So what if he was a god?
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the spear of fire's attack was thwarted and stopped!
With a roar, Li Qingshan swung his blade with all his might, and the spear was actually deflected.
Even Gongyuan, who was closest to Li Qingshan, did not expect him to be able to do this. However, she felt that it was only right. Her body and mind were closely connected, and she could clearly feel the tremendous power rolling and flowing, turning into an unstoppable flood.
She naturally would not let go of this opportunity. The surging black water had already condensed into rhombus-shaped black ice. This was the most destructive form of the power of Ruin's End, exceeding the limits of coldness. It was even more difficult than condensing ten-thousand-year-old ice. Like a black rain of ice, it shot towards the chest of the giant god of fire, where Zhu Yan was!
The Fire Dragon of the Eight Regions suddenly raised its head, opened its mouth, and swallowed the black rain of ice before biting towards Gongyuan and Li Qingshan.
Like a black mountain collapsing, Li Qingshan flew backwards with Gongyuan, until there was nowhere left to retreat. Behind them was the Merfolk battle formation, so there was even less room for them to dodge. If they dodged, who knew how many Merfolk would die, and the battle formation would definitely be broken.
Gongyuan smiled coldly, while Li Qingshan stood still. The massive dragon head reached them and suddenly collapsed, turning into rolling black smoke again. It swallowed Li Qingshan and Gongyuan, as well as the entire Merfolk battle formation, but did not cause any damage.
The black ice was not that easy to swallow. If water could counter fire, then the water of Ruin's End was the greatest counter to fire.
"Bitch!" Zhu Zai's face paled. She was the one controlling the Fire Dragon of the Eight Regions. With the dragon head destroyed, she suffered a backlash as well. She could not help but curse, and then said, "Let's see how long you can stay smug for!"
All of this happened in a split second, but the scarlet sun had already fallen. It was over a hundred times larger than regular meteors. Some of the weaker Merfolk could not help but cry out miserably, as if they had been incinerated by fire. They gave off the smell of being roasted.
Ye Duanhai was helpless too. Sword cultivators were powerful, but they did not excel at forcefully clashing with others. Zhu Fen had always been the strongest fire devourer, and he had the four hundred kilometers of Fire Melt mountain as his foundation. The scarlet sun's overall destructive power was far more terrifying than the Divine Ray of the Sun.
Meanwhile, Li Qingshan and Gongyuan had to face the giant god of fire and the rapidly recovering Fire Dragon of the Eight Regions under its feet. They could not spare any of their strength at all, and from such a distance, even if they struck down the scarlet sun, the resulting explosion would be enough to kill off most of the Merfolk.
The three Fire Devouring Kings were delighted, but the three Merfolk Kings paled in fright. The granny called out, "What are you waiting for, divine nun?"
