Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

The catacombs, the bloody square.

Countless broken sword lights splashed around the edge of the square, leaving behind only deep and shallow sword marks wherever they passed. And in the middle of these sword marks, Chi Yu, who had shattered all the incoming sword lights with one blow, never relaxed.

The cracked long sword in his hand retracted, and a large amount of blood quickly gushed out from his empty left hand, and in the blink of an eye it solidified into a thick and wide tower shield with animal patterns.

The tower shield had just taken shape when a fierce wind blew in the front. The previous sword light was just a casual attack by the Lord of the Mansion. Now the real killing move was coming. Within the fierce hurricane, a nine-ring broadsword was seen tearing through the air waves, followed by a long and sharp sound of metal collision.

The broadsword and the heavy shield collided, and the stalemate lasted only a few breaths. The seemingly heavy tower shield was directly shattered under the heavy blow of nearly 70 points of strength from the Lord of the Mansion. Bloody metal fragments splattered everywhere, and the broadsword that broke the tower shield continued to advance.

The next second, one of the armor's arms was cut off.

The broken arm flew across the sky, and at the same time, the Red Prison Armor with a hideous gap in the breastplate was thrown away heavily, and the frost-white cat behind him was also severely injured again.

"Magic weapon? Or a puppet? In addition to the spirit control system, there are also methods of locking control system."

With one strike of his sword, the armor flew off, and the Lord of the Mansion was also stopped by the resistance. His eyes swept over the blood-red armor that had not yet fallen to the ground not far away. His eyebrows slightly raised, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

The suppressed sound of the bow arm twisting gradually became louder. Every time the giant bow in front of Xu Yue was pulled back an inch, the Fang Tian Hua Ji on the bowstring that served as an arrow became visibly brighter. At the same time, the surrounding ground continued to crack outward as if it was under a weight of ten thousand tons. Wherever the tip of the halberd pointed, a biting chill began to emerge uncontrollably from the bottom of the Lord's heart.

Even though the arrow has not been fully charged, his spiritual sense has already begun to frantically warn him that if he is really hit head-on, even if he does not explode on the spot, his end will definitely be extremely miserable.

In other words, there is a high probability that he cannot block this arrow!

Therefore, he must be killed before the longbow is fully charged! At least this arrow must not be successfully shot.

Thoughts raced through his mind, but before he could take any action, the debris and broken arms scattered around him had quietly melted, and while he stopped in a daze, a large amount of the solution instantly transformed into dense and thick chains.

As the clattering sound of chains continued, the next moment, countless chains tightly wrapped around the Lord's body from bottom to top.

As the first soul-fusion equipment that upgraded itself to pale gold quality, the Red Prison Armor's additional 22 points of toughness are far from being fragile to the point of being destroyed by a single blow. Especially when it is fully filled with blood, the armor is nearly indestructible. As long as there is sufficient energy, its shape can be changed at will.

Therefore, when he relaxed his vigilance, Fu Jun only felt a flash before his eyes, and then the tight feeling brought by the tightening of the chains spread throughout his body. At the same time, a flash of blood appeared on the thick chains, and the "supernatural silence" ability derived from the mutant Jimmy's blood was remotely activated by Chi Yu.

Before the feeling of being bound on my body had subsided, an irresistible feeling of weakness came over me again.

Sensing the sudden dormancy of the spiritual power in his body, the Lord's expression changed slightly. 'Extraordinary Silence' can ban most of the active abilities by sealing talents and suppressing energy. Until this moment, he truly felt that the strong breath of death seemed to be approaching.

"Meow!"

However, the enemy's tactics were far from over. As a shrill cat howl rang in his ears, his originally ferocious and majestic amber eyes suddenly darkened, and a strange yellow and green light lingered in them, and the scene in his field of vision turned into a cold crescent moon shining in the night sky.

In addition to the wind-controlling system, the mind-charming system is also one of Fei Lian's specialties. Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for her mental power to influence an immortal, but when the opponent's spiritual power is suppressed to a dead state, the situation is very different.

However, even after various weakenings, this forced charm did not last long. In less than three seconds, the yellow-green light in the Lord's pupils was directly dispersed by the scarlet blood light.

At the edge of the square, at the moment when the yellow-green light faded, the frost-white cat that was half sticking out from behind Chi Yu trembled at the same time, and a large amount of blood spurted out from its eyes, mouth and nose, but soon all the blood was swallowed up by the armor in front of it.

Glancing at the unconscious big cat behind him, the blood-red eyes in the Chiyu mask flickered slightly, and he gave up the desire to continue devouring. He grabbed the soft flesh on the back of the big cat's neck with his only remaining right hand, and then jumped straight out of the square.

It and Fei Lian's mission have been completed, and now they just have to watch the show from afar. Of course, in addition to being a spectator, the latter may also be a backup blood package when necessary.

On the other side, just after breaking free from the charm, the sense of crisis in the Lord's heart had reached its peak. In the center of his vision, the gorgeous bow in front of Xu Yue had already been pulled open to nearly a full moon, and the halberd on the bowstring was wrapped into a blazing white arrow. The surrounding air was slightly distorted, and even if it was just standing still, it was always emitting terrifying fluctuations that made people's scalps numb.

Their eyes met. Xu Yue, with veins bulging on his arms, looked indifferent. He just loosened the red bowstring in his hand that was stretched to the limit.

"boom!!!"

Amid a deafening roar, the first thing to collapse was the large square under Xu Yue's feet. Under the huge reaction force, the ground under his feet, which was already cracked, completely collapsed, and rubble and dust flew everywhere. Then the huge arrow of light that broke away from the bow arm let out a high-pitched phoenix cry that pierced the clouds and split the rocks, and the whole arrow turned into a gorgeous fire phoenix that rushed out.

The wings made entirely of flames tore through the airflow in a breath, or even shorter.

In the infinitely slowed-down camera view, the Lord of the Mansion didn't even have time to raise the Nine-ring Broadsword in his hand, the flying Fire Phoenix had already grabbed his strong body that was bound by a large number of chains, and then... pressed it hard into the ground!

In an instant, the entire square was shaking and wailing. No matter whether it was the chains, flesh and blood, or the light red rocks below, they were all brittle as powder at this moment. Without the slightest hindrance, the Fire Phoenix penetrated deeply into the interior of the mountain like a hot knife through butter. The violent tremors continued to intensify until a few breaths later, when the Fire Phoenix that had penetrated deep into the mountain exploded.

Then the dull roar began to spread from inside the mountain, and finally turned into a shocking roar that resounded throughout the entire core space.

The reddish hills beneath his feet seemed to have turned into a violent volcano that was erupting. The mountain was shaking slightly, and the wide square on the top was cracking. Within the wide cracks, boiling golden-red flames shot up into the sky, mixed with pieces of scattered and splashed metal fragments, and a large amount of red magma produced by the high temperature.

Roars and screams rose one after another, accompanied by rolling heat waves that expanded outward. The rising flames suddenly jumped up to a height of tens of meters. From a distance, it looked like a rapidly growing giant golden-red mushroom.

The huge umbrella covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Under the light of the flames, even the blood-red pillar in the center of the square looked thin and small.

It took a long time for the raging flames on the top of the hill to subside, and the originally flat square was now in ruins.

A deep pit nearly a hundred meters wide lies across the square, with cracks stretching out on the outside and scorched rocks and lava everywhere inside, looking blazing and ferocious. Even the tall tower in the center of the square is affected and has cracks all over it, looking a little shaky.

Among the many techniques developed by Xu Yue, 'Flame·Red Lotus' has the widest killing range, 'Ji·Tian Ku' can break anything, 'Ji·Fu Di' can double the force, 'Flame·Holding the Clouds' is swift and difficult to avoid, and the current move 'Hundred Weapons·Destruction' can be said to be a combination of all the techniques and weapons.

Maybe it is not enough in a single field, but when it comes to comprehensive lethality, it can be said to be the best among many techniques.

Even with his defensive ability, he would most likely be seriously injured and on the verge of death after taking this blow head-on.

However, even with this level of attack, they still failed to kill the so-called immortal.

"Not dead..."

At the edge of the square, Xu Yue, who had already retracted the longbow in his hand, lowered his eyes to look at the charred deep pit not far away. There was no frustration between his brows, but a hint of joy. He could sense that the breath of life at the bottom of the deep pit was weak, but always tenacious.

If he could really kill his opponent in one blow, Xu Yue might still feel a little bored, but this level is just right at the moment.

With his right hand clenched, the metal fragments that were scattered all over the deep pit immediately flew out like young swallows flying into the forest, and gathered in his palm to form a two-meter-long halberd with a coiled dragon entwined around it.

Even though it had just been enveloped by countless flames, the halberd was still cold to the touch. The moment he grasped the halberd, a low dragon roar exploded in his heart.

Panlong is quite happy about fighting and killing enemies, but that doesn't mean he likes to be plucked and shot like an arrow by his own younger brothers. As the first combined blade equipment and also the main weapon that Xu Yue has spent the most energy on, in Panlong's cognition, all latecomers are one of his younger brothers.

The weapon will never resist the control of its master, but the weapon soul that is gradually awakening to wisdom is fully qualified to express likes and dislikes to the master.

"Don't worry, after this world ends, I will make a spear to serve as an arrow."

After simply calming Panlong with his mind waves, Xu Yue looked back at the deep pit in front of him, and side-glanced at the group of hesitant hellhounds outside the square, and said lightly:

"Go, force the tiger out from the bottom of the pit."

The sword that the Lord of the Mansion swung before only separated the wolves. Even if the bones were broken, the chopped bodies could be restored under the effect of the hellfire, so a total of twelve wolfhounds are still intact.

After receiving the order, the wolfhounds, who had originally had some resistance to the remaining pure Yangyan, no longer hesitated, and quickly rushed on all fours, jumping down from the edge of the deep pit one after another.

As the saying goes, a trapped beast will still fight. In addition, the Lord's spiritual attribute is earth. Without knowing the opponent's condition, using wolfhounds as a test is undoubtedly the most appropriate. It is true that he is combative, but he has no interest in meaninglessly putting himself in danger.

Since he was able to withstand the attack of "One Hundred Weapons, One Destroyer" head-on without dying, he did not believe that the Lord of the Mansion who had been refusing to come out of the deep pit was really so weak that he had no power to resist.

Sure enough, as soon as the dozen or so hellhounds jumped into the deep pit, huge hands made entirely of rock quickly emerged from the surrounding rock walls. Before the jumping wolfhounds landed on the ground, their bodies were grabbed by these huge hands. Then the huge stone hands that were tightly grasping the wolfhounds began to suddenly retract.

In an instant, more than a dozen wolfhounds seemed to have walked into a trap. They only had time to make a few wail before being grabbed by the big hands and dragged into the rocks, disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, Xu Yue, who was waiting outside the deep pit, was also attacked. The pale red ground under his feet suddenly trembled, and then several giant stone palms over five meters high suddenly emerged from the ground and slammed down fiercely towards the tall figure in the center at an extremely fast speed.

The air was torn apart by the rapidly falling giant palm, making bursts of wailing, and within the overwhelming shadow, Xu Yue, who seemed to be about to be crushed into slag, remained expressionless. He just tightened his right hand holding the Fang Tian Huaji slightly, and then swung it out fiercely!

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

Huge roars continued in waves. Looking down from the sky, one could see that the giant stone palms that were circling down in the square had not yet completely touched the ground, but a Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was so exaggerated that it was almost like a giant pillar supporting the sky, had already pierced through the palms of the incoming giant palms.

The huge, sharp blade pierced through the rock easily, and then the thick halberd handle, which was about ten meters long, was swung horizontally. Rocks flew everywhere it passed, and the giant stone palms could not even block it, and were smashed to pieces on the spot by the halberd.

In the face of the brutal crushing effect of the Fang Tian Hua Ji + the anti-rock special attack passive of 'Piercing Mountains and Breaking Peaks', these seemingly thick and hard rock palms are now visibly vulnerable to attack. In just less than a few seconds, all the giant palms that fell were completely destroyed, leaving only a large amount of thick smoke and dust rising into the sky.

Soon the roar stopped and the huge Fang Tian Hua Ji also retracted and disappeared, but the attack in the thick smoke and dust was not over yet. The tremors of the earth were still intensifying. Through the rolling smoke and dust, a beam of golden red fire could be seen rising from the surface of the earth, followed by densely packed sharp stone thorns.

After a few breaths, the violent tremors in the square gradually subsided. Above the square, Xu Yue stood in the air with a pair of flaming wings waving, and under his feet was a large and dense stone forest.

Following the giant palm's slap, hundreds of sharp stone spikes ranging from several meters to more than ten meters in length suddenly emerged from the ground. Now there was almost no place to stand in the entire square. All that could be seen were the dense and hideous stone spikes everywhere. If there was no flying ability, this stone forest alone would be enough to make all the enemies in the square run for their lives.

Of course, this method is not very effective for Xu Yue, as the ground cannot be touched, so it is just a matter of changing the battlefield.

With his wings flapping behind him, he glanced down at the dense stone forest below, then turned his gaze to where the charred pit once was.

The deep pit was also occupied by a large number of stone spikes at this moment, and on the top of the thickest stone spike, a familiar figure was standing with his head held high, but he was obviously much more embarrassed than he was not long ago.

At the top of the stone spike, the black robe with yellow stripes on the mansion master had already been tattered, and the flesh and blood around his body also looked mottled and difficult to distinguish. From head to toe, at least nearly one-third of his limbs were filled with light red earth and stones. The boundary between the red and white colors looked extremely eye-catching, like a strange sculpture that had undergone many repairs.

In the arrow attack just now, he lost half of his chest, nearly half of his ribs, a small amount of internal organs, an arm, half of his thigh, and even his skull and heart were pierced many times by the sharp fragments wrapped in golden and red flames. His whole body was in shatters.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the hill beneath his feet was his territory, allowing him to continuously draw power to forcibly replenish himself, he might have died on the spot.

Faced with the Pure Yang Flame that had triple lethality and true damage, coupled with the brutal and ferocious Fang Tian Huaji, with his spiritual power dormant, even his immortal body was as fragile as grass.

"You're fine."

A hoarse and dry voice slowly spread out, and a face mixed with flesh, blood, earth and stone raised its head and looked up. The previous relaxed look on the Lord's face was no longer seen, and instead it was replaced by the solemnity of facing a life-and-death enemy.

As for hatred, it is not a question of whether one hates or not because of the defeat in a head-on fight. Even if one really dies, it is only because one is not as skilled as the other.

There are tens of thousands of creatures buried in this Qiongqi Cave. Even if he is added, it would not be more or less. Of course, the premise is that the human in the sky can really kill him.

His cold gaze moved upwards, looking at the golden-red flaming wings behind Xu Yue, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Compared with the halberd in the opponent's hand, the damage caused to him by this flame was undoubtedly more terrifying. Until now, there was still a lot of difficult-to-eliminate hot fire poison remaining in his body.

"Human, what is this fire in you called?"

"Pure Sun Flame, or...Demon-killing Divine Fire."

"Kill the monster? Oh, you are so arrogant."

Pulling the corner of his mouth, the Lord of the Mansion looked at Xu Yue with a bit more sarcasm in his eyes, but soon the constant burning pain in his body showed him that this kind of fire was indeed worthy of the title of demon slayer. After a moment of silence, he continued:

"I now believe that you are indeed not Ming Wang's subordinate, but you cannot kill me on this mountain, and the support of my tiger tribe may arrive at any time. Continuing the fight will do no good to both you and me, so this is your last chance. End the fight, and I guarantee that you and the kitten can leave the cave safely. From now on, you and I will not interfere with each other. How do you think?"

The Lord's tone was very restrained. Although he had nearly died not long ago, the survival of the Qiongqi Cave was undoubtedly more important than the hysteria after his anger.

The opponent has shown strength that is not inferior to his own. Continuing the fight will only increase the risk of the cave being destroyed and will have no benefit. So even though he knows there is little hope, he still wants to try the possibility of peace talks.

But it was obvious that the other party had no intention of giving up. Above the stone forest, after hearing the Lord's suggestion to make peace, Xu Yue was too lazy to even reply. He swung the halberd in his hand, and then a several-meter-long dark halberd shadow fell from the air.

"boom!"

The sturdy stone pillar that served as a foothold was blown up on the spot by the falling halberd shadow. Amid the flying rocks, the Lord of the Mansion appeared on the top of another stone pillar in the distance as if teleporting. The last trace of rationality in his cold eyes disappeared, replaced by a bloodshot look in which no emotion could be seen.

"In that case, then...it's a fight to the death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the stone pillar under the Lord's feet seemed to turn into a pool of yellow water, which swallowed up his body in an instant. Then, the huge hill that was hundreds of meters high began to tremble violently, and even its shape was changing rapidly.

…………

Outside the foot of the mountain, the changes in the hills caused the entire core space to tremble, and the intensity was constantly intensifying.

Huge rocks rolled down from the mountainside, splashing up dust and flying gravel when they hit the ground. In the midst of this devastation, Chi Yu was carrying Fei Lian, who had transformed into a human form, and quickly moving away. He arrived at the edge of the blood mist and stopped temporarily.

Throwing the pale flying sword in his hand casually, Chi Yu turned around and looked up, only to see a genuine giant mountain god in front of him slowly straightening up his majestic hundred-meter body. A large shadow fell under his feet, and at the junction of the shadow and the blood mist, a blood-red armor stood proudly, and the white-haired girl had a dull look in her eyes.

"This is...Xian?"
