118: Fire Raccoon

Luo Yang, under the cover of night, rapidly approached Jiang Cheng’s position.

However, after withstanding Luo Yang’s first wave of attacks, Jiang Cheng’s second Beast Master appeared by his side.

A bright spark of flame cut through the night, illuminating Jiang Cheng’s surroundings.

This second Beast Master had round ears, a small square face, and fiery red fur all over its body. One look was enough to tell it belonged to the feline race.

race: Blazing Fire Civet

Rank: Spirit Beast Six-Star

Type: Fire

State: Cautious

Aptitude: Excellent

Skills: 1. Flame Breath (Profound Rank): The Blazing Fire Civet gathers energy in its mouth and spews flames.

2. Flame Body (Profound Rank): The Blazing Fire Civet attaches flame energy to its body surface, causing damage upon contact with a target.

3. Streaming Fire (Profound Rank): Summons a continuous Streaming Fire in the target area to attack the target.

4. Great Fireball (Profound Rank): The size and temperature of the Great Fireball depend on the amount of energy the Blazing Fire Civet invests.

5. Spirit Fire Seed (Profound Rank): The Blazing Fire Civet leaves a fire seed in the target area, capable of continuously probing that area for information and returning it to the Blazing Fire Civet.

Moreover, because this second Beast Master was summoned later, it was not affected by the [Darkest Hour].

Luo Yang and Scarlet Flame arrived next to the Guardian Tortoise Shell and were illuminated by the firelight emanating from it.

Then, the Blazing Fire Civet leaped from its original spot, leaving a bright, continuously burning fire seed in its place.

Jiang Cheng raised his listless eyes, faced Luo Yang’s direction, and said with a smile, “I found you.”

The spikes on the Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise’s shell detached from its back, then pierced through the night, passed through the Guardian Tortoise Shell, and accurately shot towards Luo Yang and Scarlet Flame.

Not only that, but Jiang Cheng, having finally seized this opportunity, naturally launched his strongest offensive.

The Blazing Fire Civet’s Skill proficiency was very high; not only was a huge Great Fireball forming in front of it, but it could also multitask by dropping Streaming Fire on Luo Yang’s head.

Seeing the opponent actively launch an attack, Scarlet Flame no longer suppressed the surging energy within its body.

A bright blue light burst forth from its body, and the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped.

The surrounding environment became even brighter, allowing the audience to finally see both sides of the battle.

A five-meter-tall blue Flame Avatar protected Luo Yang’s head, using its back to block the Streaming Fire falling from above.

‘Sizzle, sizzle’

Sounds like ice and fire meeting continuously rang out.

And Scarlet Flame quickly condensed a large number of [Blazing Projectiles] around its body, intercepting the rapidly incoming spikes from the Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise.

When the two met, a terrifying explosion echoed in the air.

‘Boom’

Affected by the collision of the two, a crack appeared on the Guardian Tortoise Shell, but this crack was rapidly repairing itself with the energy replenishment from the Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise.

Luo Yang’s eyes lit up as he looked at it, then he patted Scarlet Flame’s back, signaling it to hold off the attack here for a moment.

He leaped down from Scarlet Flame’s back, then jogged a few steps to the front of the crack.

Before he could make any other moves, a terrifying Great Fireball rapidly flew towards him.

Scarlet Flame’s Flame Avatar quickly extended its giant mouth, swallowing the entire Great Fireball.

Then, the extremely high temperature and extremely low temperature met, and Scarlet Flame’s Flame Avatar could no longer be maintained, transforming into wisps of ice-blue flames that scattered in all directions.

Fortunately, before the final explosion, Scarlet Flame controlled its Flame Avatar to disperse the force upwards and outwards, consciously bypassing Luo Yang below.

So Luo Yang was not greatly affected. Luo Chen looked at the crack in front of him that was about to close and quickly summoned a three-meter-tall flame giant.

It stretched out its hands and firmly held the crack, then violently pulled outwards, creating a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.

Luo Yang directly leaped through the middle of this crack.

As soon as he landed, he felt a burst of flames spraying towards him. It turned out that the Blazing Fire Civet was opening its mouth, and the flames were coming out of it.

Luo Yang could only duck down and roll to the other side to dodge.

However, the Blazing Fire Civet did not intend to let this ‘Beast Master’ who had walked into its trap go easily. The firelight on its body became even brighter, making the entire Beast Master look even more like a moving Great Fireball.

It moved on all fours, relentlessly pursuing Luo Yang.

The terrifying temperature emanating from its body meant that with just one swipe, Luo Yang would likely be scalded by its flames before it even made contact.

Luo Yang looked at the Blazing Fire Civet chasing him, a hint of cunning amusement in his eyes.

A faint starlight was left beneath his feet, but it was obscured by the bright firelight on the Blazing Fire Civet’s body and could not be easily noticed.

Luo Yang leaped a considerable distance backward, and when the Blazing Fire Civet landed where he had just been, he softly said, “Explode.”

Then, a bright light burst forth from beneath the Blazing Fire Civet’s feet, for some unknown reason.

‘Bang!’ A huge explosion rang out, and the Blazing Fire Civet was impacted by the sudden explosion beneath its feet, causing the entire Beast Master to be directly flung away.

It then crashed into the inner barrier of the Guardian Tortoise Shell, then fell to the ground, its fate unknown.

Luo Yang looked at Jiang Cheng, who was only a dozen meters away, and the Shadow Ring Blades instantly condensed in his hands.

Through the Spirit Fire Seed left by the Blazing Fire Civet, Jiang Cheng could still perceive the surrounding scene.

‘Rumble’

The ground suddenly shook irregularly. Caught off guard, Luo Yang quickly lowered his center of gravity to stabilize his body.

Then Luo Yang felt the ground beneath his feet become soft, and his feet were slowly sinking.

Luo Yang stared at the Shadow Ring Blades he had condensed with his remaining energy. This time, he had to hit the target, otherwise, he would have no choice but to summon the [Night Shadow Spirit Sparrow].

He stared at Jiang Cheng in the distance and threw the Shadow Ring Blade from his left hand.

The pitch-black Shadow Ring Blade, glowing with a cold light, curved around the Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise in front of Jiang Cheng and rushed towards Jiang Cheng’s face.

However, when Jiang Cheng saw this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, as if it wasn’t him who was about to be hit.

“Luo Yang, it’s my turn to attack now.”

The voice, however, came from behind Luo Yang. At some unknown point, Jiang Cheng had appeared behind Luo Yang, where the Blazing Fire Civet was.

And behind the Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise, there was no trace of Jiang Cheng, only a Blazing Fire Civet lying quietly on the ground.

The Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise, which had not moved since the beginning of the match, began to charge towards Luo Yang.

Luo Yang’s feet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to escape in a short time.

If the Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise were to charge into him, the outcome of this match would likely be decided immediately.

However, Luo Yang did not seem flustered.

“Is this your talent? Shadow Shift.”

Luo Yang smiled lightly, “I’ve been guarding against that move of yours for a long time. You shouldn’t be able to use it a second time in a short period, right?”

Then he extended his right hand, which he had kept tightly clenched, and a smaller Shadow Ring Blade suddenly shot out, directly piercing into Jiang Cheng’s face.

This time, Jiang Cheng had no space to dodge. A crack appeared on his face, and then he fell straight backward.

The Spiky-Backed Armored Tortoise also directly turned into an illusion and disappeared a second before it collided with Luo Yang.

“Congratulations to player Luo Yang for winning! Current score: 1 point.

Please rest for a moment and wait for the next opponent to finish their match.”

First match, Luo Yang wins.
