The raging flames engulfed Xiao Qi's body, and quickly rose. At the same time, an increasingly high temperature spread out. The players below Xiao Qi all stopped fighting and looked up, looking at the crimson flames in fear. This was because the temperature around them had suddenly become incredibly hot, and they felt as if they were being burned by hot iron.
"W-What's going on?"
The sudden high temperature made it extremely difficult for Yun Feng to breathe. He took a deep breath and inhaled the heat flow into his body, causing his internal organs to convulse from the heat. The terrifying temperature was still rising rapidly by the second. Around them, no matter if it was the Yan Huang Alliance, Disillusion Alliance, or Snow Moon Loulan's players, they all started to panic under the unbearable heat. They looked at the flames in terror as they retreated, trying to get as far away from them as possible. They had long since forgotten about life and death, but the pain of being burned was much more terrifying than dying in the game.
As the temperature rose, the area affected became larger and larger, causing more and more players to panic. Most of their gazes were focused on Xiao Qi, who was in the air. Everyone knew that this girl, who was covered in flames, was the source of this terrifying heat. As they felt suffocated by the high temperature, they could feel that this heat was the sign of a terrifying disaster.
"What's going on over there?"
Seeing the situation at the center of the battlefield, Long Tian Yun frowned.
"There's news from the central army. That area has suddenly become incredibly hot, and it's unbearably hot. It's as if we're being roasted in a furnace," Flame Shadow quickly replied.
"Hot?" Long Tian Yun glanced at Xiao Qi and coldly harrumphed, "Hmph, looks like she's going to use some sort of ultimate skill. Have everyone in that area scatter as much as possible. With the strength of her attacks, it's possible that she'll be able to kill hundreds … or even thousands of us. "
"Thousands? How can there be such a powerful Fire Magic?! "Cang Yan said hatefully.
"Just because you haven't seen it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Moreover, the number of players at the center of the battlefield is too high. If it's a large-scale destructive skill, it's definitely possible for it to kill thousands of people. Flame Shadow, prepare the third arrow! Ling Tian didn't appear, so this gift was prepared for her. This abnormally strong lass, I must strangle her today!! "
Chirp!!
As the cry rang out, Xi Ling suddenly left Xiao Qi and flew towards the south. Without Xi Ling, the flaming Xiao Qi continued to hover in the air, showing no signs of descending. Xi Ling quickly flew away and then suddenly dropped down, charging straight at Yun Feng in the crowd. Yun Feng only felt a scorching wave of air pressing down from the top of his head. Before he could react, he had been taken up by Xi Ling, soaring into the sky and flying to the south. After flying to where Yun Meng Xin, Li Xiao Xue and the others were, Xi Ling put down the dumbfounded Yun Feng and landed in front of them. She looked up at Xiao Qi in worry … by now, there was no one who could stop Xiao Qi. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for it to protect everyone here. It could only try its best to protect the limited people it knew.
"What's going on? What happened to Qi Qi? "Yun Feng crawled up from the ground, gasping for breath as he asked.
"Xi Ling, what happened to Qi Qi?" Yun Meng Xin also asked anxiously.
Xi Ling didn't reply. She spread out her golden wings, and a massive red barrier formed around Yun Feng, Yun Meng Xin, Li Xiao Xue and Mu Bing Yao. The Sword Emperor, Feng Xie Yu, who had remained silent the entire time, was also within the barrier.
At this moment, an ear-piercing sound rang out as the third Cloud Piercing Arrow flew through the air towards Xiao Qi. By the time they realised it, the grey arrowhead was less than 10 metres away from her. Yun Meng Xin cried out in shock.
Ssss ~ ~ ~
The Cloud Piercing Arrow hit Xiao Qi for the third time. However, the outcome this time was completely different from the previous times. The Cloud Piercing Arrow didn't pierce through Xiao Qi's body. Instead, it flew into the sky before disappearing. It didn't send Xiao Qi flying, nor did it deal any damage. Xiao Qi, who was covered in flames, floated in the air, unmoving. However, the instant the Piercing Cloud Arrow touched her body, it mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
It had been completely incinerated by the incredibly hot Vermillion Bird Origin Flames.
Long Tian Yun, who had been waiting for the ideal result, was completely dumbfounded. In that instant, he was completely convinced that he had been hallucinating. At this moment, an incredibly clear phoenix cry sounded out … even though it was 10 kilometres away, it sounded as if it was right next to his ear, causing his entire body to tremble.
As the phoenix cry sounded out, a red light flashed above Xiao Qi, and a gigantic red shadow appeared. It was the shadow of a beautiful and majestic bird with its wings spread out. It had the head of a phoenix, the claws of an eagle, the neck of a snake, and the tail of a phoenix. Its entire body was covered in crimson red feathers, each of which burned with raging flames.
It was the Vermillion Bird's Shadow!
This shadow was 1,000 metres long, and it left behind a majestic cry as it spread its wings. It then slowly disappeared. Although it only appeared for a moment, it was deeply imprinted into everyone's hearts. The instant that the Vermillion Bird's image disappeared, the flames on Xiao Qi's body suddenly rose by many times, then spread out in all directions like a flower bud slowly blooming. When the flower bud completely bloomed, a flaming lotus flower appeared in the air, with Xiao Qi at the center of the lotus flower.
This incredibly beautiful scene was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone looked up with their mouths wide open as they stared at the flaming lotus in the air. They almost forgot about the rising temperature. In their vision, there was only a single layer of petals, and the nine petals were burning brightly. Following this, the second layer of petals bloomed, followed by the third, fourth, fifth … with every layer that bloomed, the flaming lotus would double in size. At the beginning, it was just a small lotus, but under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, it had unknowingly covered the entire sky.
Through the binoculars, Long Tian Yun saw the scene of the flaming lotus appearing, and at that moment, the entire battlefield fell silent. And no one noticed this frightening silence, because their attention was completely focused on the fire lotus in the sky. When Long Tian Yun's binoculars were completely filled with the image of the fire lotus, he subconsciously moved the binoculars away, only to discover that the petals of the fire lotus had already bloomed in front of his eyes.
The binoculars in his hands fell to the ground, and Long Tian Yun's eyes widened in fear as he hurriedly retreated … this place was 10 kilometres away from the center of the battlefield, and was an absolutely safe place. Even if someone tried to come near, they would be blocked by countless Yan Huang Alliance players. He never would have thought that the flaming lotus, which was 10 kilometres away, would actually bloom here.
Before, when he had been killed by the Sword Emperor, he hadn't felt any fear, because he didn't care about levelling up, and didn't care about dying. But at this moment, he was deeply afraid. This scene that was completely beyond his understanding had completely destroyed his psychological defenses. He fell to the ground as he retreated. When the incomparably scorching heat wave hit him in the face and the fiery red petals covered his body, he heard himself scream in fear and agony …
The flaming lotus finally finished forming, and the flaming petals spread from the Cyan Forest Village to the front of the new city. Within 20 kilometres, all of the Yan Huang Alliance's players, Disillusion Alliance's players, and Snow Moon Loulan's players were covered by the flaming lotus, and not a single person was spared. From the moment the flaming lotus started to fully form, it only took a few seconds.
Finally, the flaming lotus completely disappeared, and every tiny part of the flaming lotus turned into crimson flames that mercilessly burned. The beautiful red lotus disappeared and was replaced by a sea of purgatory flames that stretched for 20 miles. The exploding flames dyed the sky pure red. Even at the edge of the sea, the flames were more than 10 meters tall. At the center, waves of flames would occasionally shoot up to several hundred meters tall, as if they wanted to break through the blue dome of heaven in the sky.
In front of the new city, Yun Feng, Yun Meng Xin, Li Xiao Xue, and Mu Bing Yao were all dumbfounded. The world in front of them had become a sea of flames, and no matter if it was in front of them, to their sides, or above them, apart from the raging flames, they couldn't see anything else.
Not a single person could be seen because they had all been swept into the flames. However, no cries of anguish could be heard from beginning to end. The Vermilion Bird Tribe's most powerful flame technique, Dazzling Red Lotus, could instantly incinerate the weaker players into ashes. They didn't even have a chance to cry out.
Around them, the red barrier created by Xi Ling completely blocked out the flames and heat, making it so that they weren't harmed at all. Within the range of the Dazzling Red Lotus, they were the only ones alive. Everyone else … had been burnt to ashes.
The flames burned for 10 or so minutes, and they watched for 10 or so minutes. During this entire time, not a single person spoke, and apart from the sound of the flames, there was no other sound. When the wind started to blow and the flames were extinguished, there was not a single person in sight. The dense group of players that had stretched for 10 kilometres had completely disappeared, and not even their corpses were left behind. The loot that had been scattered all over the ground after countless players died had also disappeared.
The boundless lush greenery had also disappeared, and there was only a large area of scorched land and white smoke. Even the height of the ground had faintly decreased by a few centimeters.
Everyone had disappeared. The battlefield that had been incredibly chaotic 10 or so minutes ago was now completely gone. It was as if they had gone from one world to another within the red light.
The Yan Huang Alliance's players, as well as the Disillusion Alliance's and Snow Moon Loulan's players … had all died! More than 2 million players … all of them! Even in all the wars in the history of Huaxia, there had never been a war with such a degree of casualties.
"Am I … dreaming?" Yun Feng stared blankly in front of him as he spoke in a soft voice.
No one answered him. Even the scheming Li Xiao Xue had lost the ability to think in the face of such a scene and the death of two million soldiers in the blink of an eye.
