Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

Wang Kang and An Qingrou's palms met across the distance.

Terrifying magical power was frantically gathering in his palm.

The two simultaneously unleashed their shattering talents, unleashing terrifying shattering power that formed a beam of destructive light.

"Talent Fusion - Annihilation of All Directions!"

"Talent Fusion - Annihilation of All Directions!"

The two spoke in unison, and magic rapidly merged in the center of their palms, emitting an incredibly terrifying fluctuation that caused the surrounding space to tremble.

"What is this?"

The Vermilion Bird Envoy also felt the fluctuation, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released.

In her hand, towering flames condensed and took shape, transforming into a gigantic Vermilion Bird.

The divine bird flapped its wings, and everything around it was ignited, bursting into a raging fire.

"Chirp—"

With a cry, the Vermilion Bird charged forward.

After unleashing this attack, Suzaku's face turned slightly pale.

Normally, he could unleash this powerful move multiple times without any problem, but today, she had already pushed her magic power to its limit by using it once.

However, she believed that this one move would be enough.

"I don't believe you ants can withstand a full-force attack from a Super S." Suzaku looked ahead, a pale smile on his lips.

Wang Kang and his companion remained unfazed despite sensing the overwhelming ferocity of the Vermilion Bird.

next moment.

Once the combined power in their hands reached its peak, they instantly pushed forward.

Instantly, a shattering light swept across the heavens and earth, rushing towards the Vermilion Bird, its dazzling brilliance as bright as day, enveloping everything.

"boom--"

A deafening explosion erupted, and a blinding light engulfed everything.

A terrifying shockwave spread outwards, sending several people flying from the center of the battlefield.

"How...is this possible?"

The Vermilion Bird Envoy's body was blasted away by the force of the explosion, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

She sensed the Vermilion Bird being shattered into flames, and then completely destroyed, leaving not a trace behind.

After the explosion subsided and all the energy dissipated.

What came into view was a barren land, riddled with holes and covered with all sorts of terrifying cracks.

"Tsk tsk, you two are really awesome, boss."

Xie Xie looked at the devastation around him and clicked his tongue slightly.

Kang Ge and An Jie's combined technique is always devastating.

At this moment, it seems that even Super S can't withstand it.

"That woman, she ran away." An Qingrou scanned her surroundings and found that the Vermilion Bird Envoy was nowhere to be found.

"This time, that woman shouldn't dare to come back so easily."

Wang Kang grinned.

A talent fusion skill is something that not just any two people can do; it's extremely difficult.

Even though he and An Qingrou were of one mind and had the same talent, it still took them a long time and many attempts before they succeeded.

However, its power is surprisingly good.

"I wonder if other teams will encounter Super S-rank opponents," An Qingrou said with some worry.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Let's go, Ruyun'an."

……

At this moment, in Yun'an City.

Lin Yu and his group finally arrived at the city closest to the Forbidden City.

The closer you get to Kyoto, the more orderly things become.

There are no zombies left in this city.

They weren't all wiped out; rather, some high-level zombie kings have evolved and developed a certain level of intelligence.

They gathered their forces, occupied certain areas, and were no longer a scattered force.

"This city is just like Xingcheng."

The group was quite shocked as they looked at Yun'an City, which resembled a hedgehog.

This place is larger than Xingcheng, and its defenses are better.

The entire city of Yun'an was encased in a metal wall, with sharp spikes all over its exterior, making it look like a giant hedgehog.

"Let's go into town."

Lin Yu led the group toward the city gate.

This place still maintains order, unlike the cities we've visited before.

At the city gate, evolved beings were guarding it.

"Halt! Each person entering the city will receive two Tier 2 crystal cores."

The group had just reached the city gate when they were stopped by the gatekeepers.

"Why should I? Do you own this city?" Little Loli Sun Ruoshui immediately protested.

"Hehe, little girl, you're right about that."

The guard's eyes gleamed with lust, and he looked smug.

"Young lady, you probably don't know this, but now Yun'an City is jointly controlled by our nine major guilds. Anyone entering the city must pay an entrance fee."

"This land belongs to the country and the people. When did it become your guild's property?" Sun Ruoshui also spoke up.

"It used to belong to the nation, but it doesn't anymore. This city was protected by our nine major guilds with our lives. Without us, at least half of the people in the city would have died."

"In this society, the strong rule. If you want to enter the city, you have to pay a fee, or you can just stay outside and feed the zombies."

The guard threatened as he spoke, "There are several large zombie bases outside, and they attack the city from time to time, killing many people every time."

He pointed to the bottom of the metal city wall: "See? Those were people who didn't want to pay the entrance fee and ended up dying in the mouths of zombies."

The group looked in the direction he was pointing and discovered that there were corpses and bones everywhere at the foot of the city wall.

Tear-of-cloth clothes and bloodstains still clung to those metal spikes.

"It's okay if you don't have crystal cores, as long as you..."

Hehehe!

At this point, the guards all laughed.

"Shameless!"

The little girl was so angry she was about to hit him.

Lin Yu's slap landed on the guard's face, sending him flying more than ten meters away. He crashed to the ground, motionless, and fell silent.

The people around were stunned by the scene and it took them a while to come to their senses.

"How dare you lay a hand on me? Don't you want to live?"

The remaining guards shouted, but no one dared to step forward; in fact, they all retreated.

He killed a second-tier squad leader with a single slap; that's some terrifying power.

If they went up there, wouldn't they be smashed into a pulp?

"Hey you, the one who just said you'd be charging, come here." Lin Yu smiled and beckoned to the guards.

"No! No, no... I didn't say that."

Lin Yu's smile looked like a demon to that person.

"You'd better not cause any trouble. This is Yun'an City, the territory of the nine major guilds," the man said, trembling as he backed away, his voice a mix of bravado and fear.

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Yu looked at him with a smile.

Just then, a loud voice came from behind.

"The Magician's presence is an honor for Yun'an City; they dare not offend him." A young man in a red robe walked over with a smile.

The young man was very handsome; even his shiny bald head couldn't hide his good looks.

Behind him were four or five people.

"magician……"

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately became agitated and retreated even further.

"The Exploding Heaven Gang, Tang Sanzang?"

Lin Yu looked at this person and a name came to mind.
