The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 228 Duel and Secret Weapon

The An Ang Shin Thong statue is a huge statue built to commemorate An Ang Shin Thong's contributions to the Republic City. There is also a memorial hall at the foot of the statue, which is one of the tourist attractions in the Republic City.

It is located on an isolated island in the bay of Republic City, and can generally only be reached by boat, meaning that Amon's presence would expose his whereabouts.

"Then I'll get ready to leave."

Cora stood on the small boat that had been prepared for her at the port, ready to set off.

Compared to the initial skepticism and nervousness she felt when she first heard about the plan, Cora is now more eager to try it out.

She already knew the truth about the secret weapon Kahn had mentioned, and she was full of confidence, eager to see how Amon would react when he saw it.

Tenzin said:

"We will keep a close eye on your situation here, and we will provide immediate support if any problems arise."

Although he knew the full picture of the plan, he couldn't help but worry about Cora's decision to confront Amon alone.

Kahn smiled and comforted him from the side:

"Don't worry, I'll be 'watching' the whole time, and I'll take action immediately if any problems arise."

He wasn't the kind of gambler who liked to go all in. To ensure that nothing went wrong, he naturally had a backup plan, which was himself, standing here.

On the other side, Azura was wearing a sour face.

She had originally thought she could watch from a suitable spot, but now it seemed that regardless of success or failure, she would only see the ending, which was why she felt unhappy.

Bei Fanglin also arrived. Due to the large number of reporters who came to watch and wait, she had to bring the police team to maintain order.

Besides them, there was another unexpected person who came to the scene: Senator Tanok.

"I really didn't expect you to take action so quickly."

Tanok, beaming, showed no trace of his earlier disheveled state as he approached the group and asked with a smile:

"I'm particularly curious, have you found a way to counter the Blood Control Technique? If so, could you please clarify my doubts?"

"No comment."

Upon seeing Tanok, Tenzin's face immediately darkened, and he firmly refused.

Seeing this, Tanok was neither angry nor discouraged. He stood beside the crowd and smiled:

"It seems I can only wait and see."

This shameless behavior infuriated Tenzin, but he was helpless. Kola, too lazy to argue with him any further, immediately said:

"I'm off."

After saying that, she used her water manipulation technique to drive the boat to the Anang Divine Power Statue Memorial Island.

She waited for a long time under the statue of Anang Shentong, from maintaining a vigilant posture at the beginning to almost falling asleep. She looked around the island again. The sea reflecting the brilliant lights of the Republic City was as calm as ever, and she did not see any ships heading towards her.

She finally couldn't help but ask a question:

"Could it be that he's too scared to come?"

No, probably not.

Kahn and Azura had already analyzed the possible consequences if Amon didn't come. If he's smart enough, he should be able to figure it out too, unless he's really a fool and a coward.

However, she suddenly discovered another serious problem:

She only said the duel would be at night, but didn't specify a time.

Is that guy planning to wait until late at night and come over when I'm exhausted?

It doesn't seem impossible.

"Damn it, you despicable bastard!"

Cora cursed him fiercely, but it was impossible to say she would take a nap or something now. Helpless, she decided to go to the An Ang Memorial to refresh herself.

To be honest, this was her first time visiting this place.

She came to the corridor outside the memorial hall and prepared to walk around it first. When she passed the main entrance, she glanced inside, but the memorial hall was dark and she could not see anything.

"Whoosh—!"

Just then, a sudden and shocking event occurred. A grappling hook ripped through the air from inside the dark memorial, and Cora, caught off guard, was struck by it, her legs bound, and she fell to the ground.

She cried out in pain, and then two more ropes sprang out from the darkness, bound her, and roughly dragged her into the darkness.

Cora reacted quickly, using her fire magic to burn through the ropes before being completely dragged into darkness, thus breaking free of her restraints.

The firelight briefly illuminated the surroundings, allowing Cora to finally see the attackers—elite members of the Equalizers, and at least ten of them.

It's an ambush!

Cora was startled. Just then, the other side took out the throwing stone rope, intending to bind her again.

In the nick of time, she quickly raised a stone wall to block the attack, then flipped over and swiftly escaped the pitch-black memorial hall, reaching the outdoors.

The elite members of the Equalists followed and surrounded her. Then, ropes shot at her from all directions.

Cora fought back fiercely, but was outnumbered. She accidentally got her right hand tied by a rope from behind, which immediately restricted her fighting ability. Then her left hand, right leg, and left leg were tied, completely rendering her unable to fight.

At this moment, Amon slowly stepped out of the darkness, stood outside the encirclement, and looked at her indifferently, saying:

"I have received your challenge, young prodigy."

"But no matter what tricks you try, it's useless. The facts have already proven that the outcome between us is decided, and there is no possibility of reversal, just as the era of sorcerers will eventually come to an end."

However, to Amon's surprise, Cora showed no anger or fear upon seeing him and hearing his words.

Despite her limbs being bound, she sneered:

"You received my challenge? I clearly said it was a fair one-on-one duel between you and me, but you brought so many men and set up an ambush for me. And you still dare to claim victory?"

"Amon, you really are nothing but a despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

"A duel? You don't seem to understand the current situation."

Amon remained unmoved by Cora's accusations, stating:

"This is not a childish game between you and us; it is war, a war between ordinary people and sorcerers. All I want is victory and your annihilation."

At the same time, he secretly became more vigilant.

Because Cora's performance was not what he expected—remaining calm despite being defeated—he suspected that Cora had a backup plan.

Sure enough, Cora suddenly grinned and said:

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

"Sifang!"

She called out loudly.

As Cora called out, a huge and beautiful divine bird suddenly appeared behind Cora.

He let out a loud, clear cry, and to the astonishment of the Equalist elites, he flapped his wings, creating a huge gust of wind that sent all the Equalist elites around Cora flying, crashing to the ground like raindrops.

Seeing the commotion she had caused, the four directions chirped triumphantly. Cora also untied the ropes binding her and stood up, looking at Amon with a smug smile:

"So, is the outcome decided yet?"
