25: Chapter 25: If one of me falls, thousands upon thousands will rise!

Flames twined, the high temperature distorted.

Sizzle——

As white smoke rose, the arena began to fill with the aroma of roasted meat.

Every martial artist who took the ancient sword and fought with great perseverance was enduring pain comparable to the scorching punishment of Pao Luo.

Fifty degrees...

Eighty degrees...

Over a hundred degrees...

Three hundred... five hundred... eight hundred...

The terrifying high temperature gradually climbed, and finally reached an exaggerated degree sufficient to melt steel.

While enduring the pain, the flame power attached to the ancient sword's body became increasingly terrifying.

The more pain they could bear, the more terrifying the power erupted by the ancient sword.

If the infinitely rising temperature really reached tens of millions of degrees Celsius, this would be a natural disaster even more terrifying than solar flares!

"This..."

"Can the big shot win?"

The tolerance of Iron Sand Palm to high temperature allowed the long sword in his hand to erupt with unimaginable power.

The goblin waved its scimitar.

The dazzling thunder was incinerated by the high temperature the moment it fell.

The scorching high temperature on the sword body even caused the bleached hair on the Falling Thunder Goblin's body to scorch and curl from a few meters away, and even the blood in its body felt like it was boiling and evaporating.

The powerful combat strength far surpassed any previous time.

Making the onlookers unable to help rekindling hope once more.

Perhaps, it could really work this time?

Beautiful visions sprouted in their eyes.

Unfortunately, the adult world never believes in dreams, only cruel reality!

Stubby, who was not a compatible candidate and forcefully drove the ancient sword by relying on the heat resistance of Iron Sand Palm, ultimately fell.

He fell at the final step of finishing off the Falling Thunder Goblin.

The scorching ancient sword body was only an inch away from it.

The tip of the sword grazed its body, and the flowing blood was instantly vaporized.

The terrifying high temperature even caused pitch-black scorch marks to appear on its bleached skin.

As long as the sword tip pushed forward by another inch, it could precisely hit the heart.

A high temperature of over a thousand degrees stabbing into the vital heart would definitely burn it to ashes.

Unfortunately, it still failed to push forward in the end.

Boom!

The body collapsed with a bang.

The flame and high temperature spread upward from his right arm, carbonizing half of his body until it was charred black.

Being able to reach this degree was already his limit.

"Just..."

"Just a little bit, just a tiny bit!"

Looking at the figure who had fallen with his vitality exhausted before him, the Falling Thunder Goblin's sickly green eyeballs were filled with a look of shock.

This madman!

As long as he took one step further.

It!

Would be dead today!

Just now, following the erosion of the heat wave, it even felt like it saw its great-grandmother.

Panic and lingering fear flickered alternately in its mung-bean-sized eyes.

It even doubted which of them, itself and this ordinary fellow, was the true monster.

To actually be able to fight holding a branding iron of over a thousand degrees—you must know that at such a terrifying temperature, just having its skin slightly scratched gave it the feeling of being melted by the high temperature.

This guy!

Can actually hold it to fight?

Simply a monster!

Moreover, this kind of thing was not an isolated case; these guys who fell wave after wave were all monsters like this!

The Falling Thunder Goblin gritted its teeth, its mung-bean-sized eyes filled with terror.

Who the hell was the monster anyway?

During the battle just now, it had wanted to turn and leave several times; these were all monsters, and their fearless charges one after another completely shattered the Falling Thunder Goblin's psychological defense.

Blame the flesh and blood here for smelling too good, too good!

It made it unable to move its legs.

But fortunately, everything was over!

These incomprehensible monsters had all been outlasted to death by it!

Now!

The rain had cleared!

It was its turn to devour the flesh and blood to make up for its deficit.

"Hehe-he-he..."

Scanning the surroundings with a ferocious expression, its mung-bean-sized eyes were filled with greedy gazes.

Apparently treating this as its hunting ground.

However, it seemed to have forgotten something.

Hum~

An invisible fluctuation erupted.

The ferocious strange smile on the Falling Thunder Goblin's face was still spreading, before it could say the next words.

Boom!

Flames soared into the sky.

The sweeping heat wave smashed it flying away once again.

The land of kings!

Does not allow outsiders to set foot!

"Ba-, bastard."

"Damn it, humble..."

Climbing up from the ground, the utterly disgraced Falling Thunder Goblin was biting its back molars and hadn't yet cursed out loud when it met the leaping flames on the ancient sword, a flush rising on its pale face.

Recalling the fear of being dominated by the high temperature just now, it hurriedly swallowed the remaining words back by force.

The terror of life and death on the line was enough to experience once!

Forcibly swallowing half a sentence back into its belly, the blood rushed backward to its brain, and its aggrieved face turned red, looking both awkward and pathetic.

"Pfft—"

Laughter quietly sounded in the arena.

Diluting the panicked atmosphere by a few shades.

——

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. A lord monster, just this? In front of the ancient sword, it's completely a little brother!"

"ancient sword: You curse, if you have the ability, curse it out! Is it your natural disposition not to like cursing?"

"Enough, stop playing memes! Is this the time to play memes? Look at the situation on the field; all these martial arts masters have fallen, and if no one stands up, the situation is going to collapse."

"Damn! Iron Sand Palm can't withstand the high temperature either? Could it be that we can only let this monster unscrupulously eat people?"

"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts, the ancestors were indeed right!!"

"..."

The few bullet comments playing memes were quickly washed down.

The vast majority of Netizens.

Still couldn't help caring about the crisis on the field.

Don't look at how the Falling Thunder Goblin is a complete little brother in front of the ancient sword.

But to ordinary people, being able to drive thunder and lightning, possessing terrifying resilience, and swallowing flesh and blood raw.

This was definitely a monster difficult to contend against.

Martial arts masters fell one by one, and even the big shots placed with high hopes fell before success.

A desperate atmosphere began to permeate the livestream room.

With its style of devouring people, if it really dragged on until the military arrived, who knew how much would be left of the entire venue!

——

Unlike the Netizens in the livestream room.

And the terrified expressions of the surrounding crowd.

Stubby, who clearly fell on the ground,

His eyes lit up with light instead.

The tightly bitten corners of his mouth also revealed a smile, closing his eyes as if satisfied.

Because... he saw!

Someone came to take his place!

One of him falls, and tens of thousands of him stand up.

Martial arts masters might be limited.

But as the opening day of seventeen martial arts halls, the martial arts veterans within the venue were definitely not a few.

"Nex-, next... is me!"

In his stuttering voice, it was not hard to see the fear in his heart.

But Li Li, who walked out from the crowd, finally picked up the ancient sword beside Stubby under the monster's terrified gaze, taking over this torch passed down thirteen times.

He!

Is the fourteenth time!

But will never be the last time!

Even if the hand holding the sword began to tremble, he still swung the long sword in his hand.

Using the sword moves he had practiced countless times in the martial arts hall.

Returning Wind Sweeping Willows!

Exactly this sword strike.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of countless people, the flames soared into the sky.

Transforming into a terrifying blazing fire that left the body.

The next moment!

The flame dragon chanted, burning everything to ashes!
