Ascension

Chapter 162 Demon Servant, 2nd Rank!

In the deserted jungle, the sun's rays gradually filled in, and the birds that had slept all night began to chirp.

"You are a rising star in Canghai Pavilion, and you are expected to become a star mentor in the future. Why do you need to get involved with me?"

Dongfang Xu, who had been silent for a long time, asked coldly.

He still didn't understand why a disciple with such infinite potential as Ren Wokuang would still want to wade into the muddy waters on his side.

Besides, there are so many elite students in the South Campus, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to find one or two more with clean backgrounds and firm beliefs, right?
"I believe in fate."

"Since I'm destined to meet you, I will follow my heart and give it a try as much as possible."

"As for the trouble you encountered, it may be a problem, or it may not be a problem, depending on which angle you look at."

"Anyway, for me, everything other than life and death is trivial."

"And if you stand in a place like Giant Frog Pond, no matter how risky it is, it's not overwhelming."

Lord Ye Han has a gentle breeze and calm clouds, but his words come from the bottom of his heart.

From Ming Deng Ye's point of view, the one who can be accommodated in his eyes and is truly qualified to be called a threat must at least be the Holy Fetus.

No matter how arrogant you are under the Holy Fetus, you are still a bigger ant and can be easily crushed to death.

But if you look at it from the perspective of a mortal, helpless, just a clay sculpture can become a fatal threat.

--angle.

Angle is important!
Even if we can't borrow any help from the family at this stage, we will need more efforts to get full cultivation from the family in the future.

But this vision is here. What happened in Giant Frog Pond in the past five years is more like a role-playing game.

All Ye Hanjun needs to do is deal with all the threats in front of him one by one, and then pass the level in a way that he approves of.

"You're not me, so you can't possibly feel the same way."

"Let's make other conditions. I will do my best to fulfill it for you."

Dongfang Xu shook his head, still refusing.

Ye Hanjun put his right hand on his left arm, observed the expressions of the four members of the Stealing Fire Mercenary Group, and suddenly showed a smile:
"Okay, are you interested in fighting me?"

"The fight that didn't end in the mine is better to resume it here."

The sound of three points of light picking and seven points of playfulness drifted in the direction of the wind.

A mushroom, raspberry, and Hudai, their pupils shrunk.

After getting a glimpse of the power of "Ultimate Flame", he dared to challenge it.

Where does this person's confidence... come from?

Dongfang Xuping looked at Lord Ye Han, his red eyes met his dark ones, and he said expressionlessly:

"If the direction of your authority is to educate children, I think the effect of your authority should be to promote the growth of contracted spirits or disciples."

"It is reasonable to speculate that you can be promoted to the second level so quickly."

"But it also means that you probably don't have the power to increase combat."

"Just because a witch has completed the mutation, you are absolutely sure to defeat me?"

"How to defeat it, you have to experience it yourself."

Ye Hanjun walked towards the dense forest on one side and said involuntarily:

"Come with me and fight alone so as not to hurt your team members."

"Boss?"

Hu Dai frowned, intending to stop him.

It is true that Mr. Ye Han is too confident. Coupled with the rumors he has heard so far, the name of Master Han is becoming more and more unfathomable in his mind.

If you really lose... what should you do?
The scene happening in front of me seems to be no different from Ren Wo Kuang's challenge to Master Han and his defeat...

Dongfang Xu stopped what Hu Dai wanted to say.

He waved to the Red Flame Tiger and then left with Lord Ye Han.

"Since you know the power of the "Fire Thief", you should know that I can't hold back even if I go all out. "

"Since it's a battle, of course you have to worry about life and death."

"Don't have any thoughts of holding back, I don't need it."

Ye Hanjun responded casually without looking back.

……

A half-hour walk covered a distance of more than five kilometers.

Lord Yehan stood still, turned around, and summoned the Sandstorm Witch.

"Shh-"

The flowers and candles were opened, overlooking the battlefield.

Then... I saw the burly Red Flame Tiger again.

"Roar!!"

There was an invisible collision of breaths, and the Red Flame Tiger tensed the muscles on its limbs, ready to pounce at any time.

It can feel the strength of the enemy.

But it doesn't have any hint of timidity, awe, or fear. Instead, it is ready to move and eager to try.

"Qualification—"

[Race Name]: Red Flame Tiger

[Chaos Seal]: "Demon"

[Major]: Enlightenment Path/Magic Path/Spell Path

[Rank]: Embryo of Xiazhao Dacheng
【混沌灵纹】：140纹「猛撞」、180纹「喷射火焰」、238纹「火墙」、245纹「旋转火球」、269纹「烈焰掌」、285纹「焰尾刀」、290纹「火山崩塌」

[Core Personality]: "Loyalty"

[Current status]: alert/ready to try/…

[Contract relationship]: stable
-

Observing the attribute panel for the second time, Ye Hanjun still felt that the Red Flame Tiger had been cultivated quite well.

Take these skills as an example, attack and defense are all covered, and there are no obvious shortcomings.

A core personality like "loyalty" is undoubtedly a bonus. Whether it is daily training or actual combat cooperation, the level of tacit understanding is inherently higher than other combinations.

"let's start."

Dongfang Xu fully activated the passive power "Source of Strange Fire".

As 37 balls of fire flew out, the red light in his eyes became even brighter, as if he had turned into a fire-attribute monster, ready to pounce.

"Roar!!"

The red flame tiger was bathed in the colorful firelight and felt refreshed.

Almost instantly, its evil aura rose upwards, and the crimson flames burning all over its body became deeper and hotter.

When the bloody mouth is opened, it is "jetting flames" at full power.

"brush--"

Huazhu uses "Wind Escape" to move closer instead of retreating.

She was not targeting the Red Flame Tiger, but Dongfang Xu on the Red Flame Tiger's back.

The Red Flame Tiger was large in size, but its reaction was not slow. It closed its mouth and stopped breathing fire. Its tiger palms swept across the top of its head to protect it forcefully.

"Whoosh-"

Naturally, Hua Zhu would not use "Howling Tail Thorn" to fight with its "Fire Palm".

It seems like a needle-point is against the wheat, but in fact, the injury to the tiger paw is a trivial matter. If her scorpion tail is injured, there will be problems in the operation of the witchcraft power throughout the body.

She used the "Quicksand Trap"!
Driven by the whirlwind, yellow sand covered the ground with a thick layer.

Then it gradually turns to liquid like melted cheese.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger's palm missed, and the old strength was gone, but the new strength was not reborn, and he immediately fell into the trap of quicksand.

It was fierce for a moment, trying to go crazy.

But the more he struggled, the greater the suction force on his soles became, and his whole body was forced to sink into the sand.

"Use "Flame Tail Sword"! "

Dongfang Xu gave the order and took over the contracted spirit's temporary confusion.

The red flame tiger roared, and the whip-like tiger tail suddenly spread with fire.

The next second, the highly condensed fire element turned into a sharp blade.

It's like a flaming machete hanging on the tiger's butt. If you twist the butt flap to the left, it will chop to the left. If you twist the butt flap to the right, it will swing to the right.

Not to mention, there is something special about this knife.

The quicksand trap was affected, and a large amount of fire elements poured in along the incision, which actually affected the stability of the control skill itself.

"Roar!!!"

Unable to breathe, the Red Flame Tiger broke away, gave up on the witch, and also chose to attack the beloved master.

"when!"

It strode forward and leaped high while raising its flaming palm.

But before the flaming palm fell, two superimposed shields appeared out of thin air.

The red flame tiger couldn't avoid it and bumped into it with its nose.

The huge momentum was all fed back to the nose, and it howled in pain, and the flames on its body stood up like exploding hairs.

"Hurrah!!"

"Howling Tail Thorn" approached again, and at the same time, "Hurricane Scissors" arrived in front of it.

The sandstorm witch Huazhu has never been a standard witch-loving spirit.

There is no such thing as hiding behind and casting spells silently.

Every flashy moment, as long as she can find a flaw, is her chance.

And once the opportunity arises, if you don't take advantage of it, you will really be ashamed of your illusory body and die miserably at the door of life and death every day.

"puff--"

The roaring tail thorn penetrated the side of the Red Flame Tiger, but because it twisted its body, it failed to hit the spine and only penetrated into the flesh.

The hurricane scissors did not fail. The original trajectory was clearly that of the red flame tiger. When it was about to be stabbed, Hua Zhu changed its direction and scissored Dongfang Xu's arm.

He hid very quickly. His arm was not separated from his shoulder, but there were only a few large bloody wounds.

But it was obvious that Dongfang Xu was shocked by this.

The battle has just begun, and the attacks at the front are generally probing in nature.

But after a few rounds, the Red Flame Tiger, which had the boost of "Source of Strange Fire", was at an absolute disadvantage.

Witches are like elusive ghosts, coming and going without a trace.

Once started, the attacks will be interconnected, and the pressure on the one facing the attack will double.

"Sure enough..."

Dongfengxu sighed.

He boasts that he has accumulated a wealth of combat experience by wandering in the wilderness and swamps over the years.

Since he became the "Fire Thief" and contracted with the "Red Flame Tiger", he has become even more powerful. He is invincible in all battles at the same level, and fighting across levels is also common.

Now... it's in pieces!
The witch cultivated by Master Han, this sandstorm witch who was once known as the Gray Flash, and now has been greatly mutated, is completely a magic assassin who has mastered more advanced combat skills!

"Drip-drip-drip-"

Two large crimson fireballs with a radius of nearly one meter appeared next to the Red Flame Tiger.

They began to rotate without a fixed trajectory. Branches and leaves that they accidentally touched would be burned and destroyed in an instant.

Skill——"Rotating Fireball"!
Strictly speaking, this is a defensive fire spell. The fireball will rotate with the caster and continue to protect its body.

"Shh-"

The flower candle retreats.

The Red Flame Tiger's body was too hot, and the fur covered in flames had to be pressed down with yellow sand when he got close.

Otherwise, you will end up in a burnt state, with endless pain.

"Whoa whoa-"

All the floating fire started to fly and quickly condensed into Dongfang Xu's palm.The slightly embarrassed Red Flame Tiger whined and hissed, the flames on its body dimmed greatly, and there was a large crimson flame that was about to be withdrawn from its body.

Very far away, Ah Gu shrank his neck and clenched his two small hands unconsciously.

Although you can't see the specific scene from a distance of five kilometers, you can definitely catch every trace of movement if you listen carefully.

This morning...there were insects chirping and birds chirping, and the greenery was abundant.

Suddenly, nature lost its voice.

Those flocks of crows and rats that were frightened and fled... Why would they be so panicked if they hadn't sensed a fatal crisis?

"One minute...less than one minute, the boss is ready to release the "Ultimate Flame"? "

"What kind of pervert is this Master Han? The Red Flame Tiger has experienced hundreds of battles, so there is no way he can match the witch?"

Renwo Kuang, who straightened his back, moved his ears, his eyes sparkling from beginning to end.

As long as it is something that Master Han wants to achieve, he has never failed so far.

Dongfang Xu was once the second among the top ten arrogants. Although he did not know what changes had taken place now, both his authority and the contracted spirit were different from those in the past.

But come to think of it... Master Han can't possibly lose!
The one who really loses... can only be Dongfang Xu!
……

"Ultimate Flame" is the only active power of the D-level "Fire Thief".

It's very, very, very powerful.

When this power is used, the refining fire can be forcibly compressed and fused.

It will even absorb the flames of the contracted spirits to form a temporary fire.

Once this highly condensed fire element detonates, it will definitely be a powerful force that will destroy the world.

Even Lord Ye Han, when Dongfang Xu activated the "Ultimate Fierce Flame" and entered the start-up spell-casting state, his temples were beating crazily.

Without using protective treasures - it's hard to resist!
This is just 37 uneven fire types, paired with the red flame tiger fire of Xia Zhao Dacheng.

If you practice in a more perfect way, you can give birth to real strange fire.

This active power can explode with power, and a group of Xia Zhaosheng will not even think about escaping, they will vaporize on the spot in a snap of their fingers.

"Anthurium..."

Lord Yehan whispered.

As early as last night, he had already carefully taught the skills that must be paid attention to when fighting against fire thieves.

Hua Zhu nodded, her figure flashed slightly, and instantly appeared behind Chiyanhu and Dongfang Xu.

"Zi la! Zi la!!"

"Ultimate Flame" requires at least five seconds of pre-casting.

This kind of time is too long for the ever-changing battlefield.

But it is not easy to get close to Dongfang Xu casually!
In the spell-casting state, neither he nor the Red Flame Tiger could move.

But the violent fire element almost drowned one person and one tiger.

Not only can it exude overwhelming power, it can make enemies tremble.

These fire elements are also equivalent to additional barriers. If you want to overcome them, you need to use your life as a bet.

"Hu-hu-"

The yellow sand is swirling and the wind is howling.

Huazhu summoned "Hurricane Sand Hammer" and smashed it against the ground.

Without thinking about You Dou, she came up and detonated the built-in compression element with all her strength.

"boom!!!"

The earth shook, the sky collapsed, and the earth collapsed!
Dongfang Xu's throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

His red eyes suddenly dimmed, and the fighting spirit he had gathered... was on the verge of being shattered.

"Roar!!"

The red flame tiger was frightened and angry.

It cannot move because the fire in its body has been extracted and is in the critical fusion stage.

The next second, with the help of "Wind Escape", Huazhu appeared above the heads of one person and one tiger.

The raging fire engulfed half of her body.

But her "hurricane scissors" still cut in, and one of the pointed ends was inserted directly into Dongfang Xu's chest... and came out through the back!

"puff!!"

It's like a pot of water about to boil, and suddenly huge ice cubes are dropped.

The bubbles that Gululu had started to appear disappeared again.

Dongfang Xu held his pierced chest, his fingers twitched slightly, and the flames in his palms could not be maintained. After letting out a silent whine, they fled back into his body.

The part of the power belonging to the Red Flame Tiger also returned.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger, which had regained its ability to move, roared loudly, and the murderous intent in its eyes overflowed crazily.

"Chiyan, stop."

Dongfang Xu bent over and coughed, his whole shirt stained with blood.

He lost, and he lost in a mess.

So far, every time he uses "Ultimate Flame", he can kill opponents that are difficult to defeat under normal circumstances.

Even if you will fall into severe weakness after casting the spell, you have achieved satisfactory results.

This is the first time... I was interrupted halfway through casting a spell!

Dongfang Xu didn't even find out the flaw himself, but Master Han, the famous master of Canghai Pavilion, found it all at once.

"It's really... amazing."

Dongfang Xu reached into the dimensional space bag and took out the medicine, first taking it internally and then applying it externally.

After struggling for a minute, he managed to recover. He looked down at the penetrating wound on his chest and remained silent.

——The witch kept her hand.

But the last scissor was aimed at his heart.

He no longer has the ability to speak on his own, his life is completely cut off, and he is completely dead.

At that time, the Red Flame Tiger will also suffer extremely painful backlash due to the interruption of the contract.

"I lost."

"Master Han's name... really can't be opportunistic."

"I must have been horrified by this when I was defeated by you..."

Dongfang Xu took the initiative to admit defeat and was convinced.

"Do not."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, glanced at Hua Zhu, whose half body was burned, and whispered:
"In the battle with Renwo Kuang, the witch was not seriously injured."

"But in a fight with you, if I want to interrupt the casting of "Ultimate Flame", I must risk my life. "

"This is the first time she has suffered such a heavy blow..."

What Ye Hanjun said is also true.

To this day, no matter what kind of battle it is, Hua Zhu is rarely injured.

Her biggest weakness is that her witch body is fragile. Abrasions from others are serious injuries to her, and moderate injuries from others are fatal injuries that cannot save her.

However - she was seriously injured in this battle!

If you want to cut through the flame barrier and hurt Dongfang Xu's body, you need to pay such a price!

"No matter what, if you lose, you lose."

"But... don't expect that you can force me to become your disciple..."

Dongfang Xu's voice became weaker, but his tone was still so firm.

"Wait a minute, I have something to take care of."

Ye Hanjun interrupted Dongfang Xu, and the white crow mark on his left shoulder flickered softly.

Even before the battle began, Mo had been conveying his wish to come out, eager for the pain to come.

Ye Hanjun estimated that it was almost done. Taking advantage of this juncture, he might be able to show Dongfang Xu something different.

"It hurts...where is the pain..."

"It doesn't hurt at all...it doesn't hurt at all..."

"So uncomfortable! So lonely! So hopeless! I really want to die! Who can help me!!"

The messenger of doom appears, faltering.

It stood on the devastated battlefield, raised its head, and faced the rising sun. The exposed lower half of its face was full of loneliness and loneliness.

"Is this... your blood contract?"

Dongfang Xu took a breath, and his dim red eyes froze.

According to the information he obtained, although Master Han is an active awakener, he has unlimited potential.

But he doesn't have enough resources yet. If he wants to complete the blood contract ceremony, he will need a long reserve period.

Quietly...it's actually finished?

Dongfang Xu was in a daze for a moment, and with his renewed gaze, he began to look at the messenger of doom.

What kind of monster is this that can speak human words?

What a strange appearance, covered in bandages, using a cane, and a three-eyed white crow...

"puff!!"

Just as he was watching, the witch suddenly flashed over, dragging the wounded body with him, and pierced the monster's body with a howling tail thorn without hesitation at all.

Dongfang Xu's eyes twitched, his face full of shock.

The witch obviously had no intention of holding back. Not only did she penetrate her from behind, she also penetrated her several times.

Isn't this the spirit summoned by Master Han? ? ?
Dongfang Xu's mind had not turned around, and the dramatic cannibalism suddenly changed again.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"This is the feeling, this is the taste, friend... you will always be my friend! I will repay you well!"

The Doomsday Messenger activates "Grateful Feedback" to repay the favor.

Hua Zhu stabbed it again with a needle, directly piercing its head. Her pretty face was calm and showed no signs of surprise.

"Puff-"

The doomsday messenger's bright smile froze on his face, and he fell down with a look of happiness on his face.

It seemed to be dead, with dust flying around it, and it remained motionless, letting the black blood soak the ground.

Dongfang Xu has ten question marks in his head.

What is this operation?
At the end of a battle, kill your own Blood Pact Familiar with a backhand?
No, this blood contracted spirit is very special. It should be a fake death, otherwise Master Han will have to bear the backlash of the contract...

"Well... almost..."

Ye Hanjun opened his eyes as if he was enjoying it.

I don't know when, he has switched to the state where the Darkest Eye is activated, and it is 100% activated, with no hidden strength.

"Whoa~~~"

The Darkest Abyss opened up completely, and the extension of the domain instantly covered Dongfang Xu and Scarlet Flame Tiger.

One person and one tiger watched in shock. The sun disappeared from their eyes, and the world around them was quickly engulfed by darkness, as if the river of time went back and returned to the night.

"boom!!"

There was silence in my ears, and the spiritual world exploded continuously.

Standing on the abyss, Lord Ye Han seems to be a king standing in the darkness. The old aura is gone, and what is left is nothing but mystery and coldness.

The weak Scarlet Flame Tiger's hair exploded again.

The darkness seems to isolate everything in the space. Every minute and every second I stay here, I taste the long and lonely loneliness.

Only Ye Hanjun, who listened to the beating of his heart, made an action of embracing the world, as if he wanted to accommodate the entire dark world into his soul.

Rank... finally broke through!

From today on, the Demonic Server...is the second level!
