Who said this card is outrageous?

He pulled out the card "Black Rhino Armor" from somewhere and muttered to it, "Hey buddy, you see the situation now. The enemy is formidable. If we want to turn the tide, we can only rely on the Flame Dragon Armor."

After the words were spoken, the Black Rhino Armor did not respond immediately. Instead, it remained silent for a moment before flashing away with a hint of reluctance.

As the creator of both cards, Zhang Che could certainly disregard the opinion of [Black Rhino Armor] and forcefully use [Flame Dragon Armor]. However, since the former was a meritorious contributor who had helped him a great deal before, Zhang Che chose to respect the other party after realizing that this card might have its own consciousness.

That's why he braved the extremely high concentration of fire-attribute extraordinary energy in the surrounding environment and used the [Black Rhino Armor] instead of the more suitable [Flame Dragon Armor].

There was nothing wrong with doing so, since they did indeed defeat their opponent.

But the situation has reached a point where there is no time to lose. For the sake of his own life and the safety of his teammates, Zhang Che must make a decision.

He was even prepared to force the use of the Flame Dragon Armor if the Black Rhino Armor refused.

It's good to have a happy birthday.

The five elements are mutually generating and mutually restraining, but no matter what, they are ultimately one, and they cannot truly put their master in danger when facing difficulties.

"Phew, now it's my turn." Zhang Che took out the Mind Anchor, which was now fully charged with mental energy, and inserted the [Flame Dragon Armor] card into it.

The intense battles just now had exhausted most of his mental energy, leaving him no choice but to activate his backup hidden energy.

As the card was activated, Zhang Che's dark heavy armor was gradually replaced by another set of crimson armor.

Flame Dragon Armor, combine!

Chapter 254 Forbidden Technique: Void Explosion

After Zhang Che was defeated, Song Ruolan's team lost its teammates to share the pressure and immediately began to struggle to control the lizardman below.

Although the opponent only used one move from beginning to end—launching energy balls—its overwhelming power allowed it to achieve the effect of overcoming all other methods with sheer force. No matter how Song Ruolan tried to respond, it always used a single energy ball as its countermeasure.

Moreover, as the battle continued, the lizardman's control over the energy ball became increasingly refined, and it could even differentiate into multiple forms to fight the enemy by changing the intensity of the energy input into it.

One of the energy balls launched was not only extremely fast, but it was also able to change direction while traveling at high speed.

Song Ruolan had not anticipated this at all, and in the end, Charizard reacted in time and blocked the fatal attack for her.

The trade-off for speed and maneuverability is that the energy ball's destructive power is severely lacking. It is indeed extremely effective against Song Ruolan, a human with a weak physique, but it is very ordinary against Charizard.

Furthermore, as long as the summoned creatures don't die, they can continue to exert their full power. Therefore, the lizardman's elaborate sneak attack actually didn't achieve any results. Instead, it made Song Ruolan more vigilant.

She tried to huddle her body as close to the Charizard's back as possible to avoid being ambushed again.

"This guy has such a strong growth ability..." Song Ruolan looked at the lizardman on the ground who was almost unrecognizable after entering the bloodline activation state, and alarm bells rang in her heart.

In less than twenty minutes, the opponent went from having no anti-air capabilities to becoming a force that even they found troublesome.

What she was most grateful for was that the dragon bloodline the other party inherited did not seem to have any flight-related components; otherwise, without aerial advantage, Song Ruolan really couldn't imagine how to deal with this monster.

Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily turned to the spot where Zhang Che had been knocked away, and she couldn't help but feel worried about his condition.

Such a short time was not enough for Fu Xing and his group to run too far, and if this delay continued, the lizardmen might go looking for the escaped members of the group, thinking they could not kill them.

Zhang Che was there to keep things in check earlier, which at least helped draw some attention, but now it's up to her to handle this.

"Everyone worked so hard just now, I have to do my part too..." Song Ruolan murmured to herself, the slight timidity on her face disappeared, and a coldness began to appear on the slightly upturned corners of her mouth.

"Charizard, watch out for attacks and buy me some time!"

After giving the order, Song Ruolan raised her wand, closed her eyes, and began to chant the spell.

Unknown syllables popped out of her mouth one after another, as if carrying some kind of magical rule. The fire-attribute extraordinary energy that was originally scattered around began to be rapidly transformed into arcane energy exclusive to arcane mages.

Of course, doing this came at a price; with each syllable, Song Ruolan's face visibly paled.

During this time, the lizardmen on the battlefield below naturally noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky. Their instinctive sense of crisis set off alarm bells in their hearts. They immediately abandoned the idea of ​​chasing down another fourth-tier superhuman and instead launched an attack with all their might, trying to interfere with or interrupt Song Ruolan's chanting.

With the fire-breathing dragon present, the lizardmen's plan had no chance of being implemented. It made full use of its advantages, dodging and weaving in the air in the face of enemy attacks, while also trying its best to ensure that Song Ruolan on its back was not affected too much.

The fire-breathing dragon is not as strong as the lizardman, but as long as the opponent cannot fly, the sky is its domain. Even if it cannot defeat the dragon, it can still evade it.

They persevered until Song Ruolan finished chanting. At this point, the space within a radius of several dozen meters centered on her and the fire-breathing dragon had been replaced with special arcane energy.

Although it didn't achieve the best results she had hoped for, Song Ruolan felt it was sufficient.

"ban--"

As soon as she spoke, the surrounding arcane energy instantly began to surge towards the staff in her hand, and a powerful energy fluctuation began to emerge, as if a sleeping beast was about to awaken.

Roar!

The lizardman below showed no fear upon seeing this, and even seized the opportunity immediately, beginning to prepare an energy ball more powerful than all the previous attacks in front of it.

After so many years of fighting, even though the lizardman had never seen this spell before, experience told it that when an opponent used a move that far exceeded its own capabilities, if it was interfered with, it would either fail to cast the spell or suffer a backlash. Either way, it would be a good thing for it.

The lizardmen's approach was correct, but don't forget that Song Ruolan wasn't alone. The Charizard immediately launched a counterattack against the opponent's offensive.

Flames and invisible blades shot out one after another, weakening most of the energy ball that was hurtling towards it at high speed. As for the last bit, Charizard grabbed it tightly with its claws and used the [Dragon Claw] move to completely destroy it.

At the same time, it paid a heavy price; its two claws were completely wiped out, and its once solid figure began to become erratic.

Card-summoned creatures share a single "health bar." They are immune to injuries below a certain level, but once they exceed a certain limit, they can be killed even if the injury is only to a claw or other non-lethal area.

Not long after, Charizard finally gave in and its body turned into a stream of light, returning to the card. At this moment, Song Ruolan's spell was finally coming to an end, and its efforts were not in vain.

"Void Explosion!"

With a cold, low shout, Song Ruolan pointed the tip of her staff at the lizardman's location.

The next second, an invisible force of void erupted, and the lizardman's body was instantly submerged in the surging and violent energy.

boom!

The explosion was not caused by the [Void Blast], but by the lizardman's internal energy being forced to detonate in order to resist the invisible energy that was tearing his body apart.

Two different extraordinary energies began to collide and annihilate on the lizardman's body, but at the same time, they caused an even more violent explosion. The shockwave instantly swept across an area of ​​hundreds of meters around, snapping trees in half, shattering rocks, and even affecting the nearby mountains, which began to show shocking cracks.

The explosion lasted for almost a minute before it finally began to subside. By then, the surrounding area was a complete mess, with no decent spot to be found.

However, the matter did not end there. With a loud bang, the volcano in the distance, which had been blasted open with several large holes, was broken through by the pressure of the magma inside, and scorching magma gushed out!

Chapter 255 Blazing Blade!

The scene before him made it impossible for Zhang Che, who had been waiting to ambush the lizardmen, to hide any longer.

The Flame Dragon Armor is a fire armor, and it truly thrives in places filled with fire elemental energy, greatly enhancing both combat power and endurance.

Furthermore, as fire-attribute dragon-born extraordinary beings, lizardmen also have high resistance to fire-attribute attacks, which puts the Flame Dragon Armor at a disadvantage.

To reiterate, this is ultimately not an authentic product, but merely a Tier 4 blue card. Even with enhancements, it can only unleash combat power at most around Tier 5, making it still very difficult to defeat a Tier 6 lizardman.

If it were the real Flame Dragon Armor, the environment ahead would be more than enough for Zhang Che to stomp on his own feet and fly straight to the sky. He could easily take down a mere lizardman who wasn't even a high-level transcendent.

Unfortunately, people always have to face reality.

After donning the Flame Dragon Armor, Zhang Che discovered that once he activated the armor's inherent fire elemental power, it could perfectly blend with the surrounding dense fire-attribute extraordinary energy, making him completely undetectable.

At the time, Zhang Che was less than 20 meters away from the lizardman, and the other party did not notice him at all, so he decided to launch a sneak attack.

However, things didn't go as planned. Zhang Che never expected that Song Ruolan had such a trick up her sleeve.

The final effect was so stunning that he had to reveal himself to save the mage who had fallen from the sky due to exhaustion.

Although the speed of the Flame Dragon Armor cannot match that of the fastest Wind Eagle Armor, it is still the second fastest among the five armors. In addition, its fireproof and high-temperature-resistant properties allowed it to catch Song Ruolan just in time when she fell into the lava.

The armor quickly absorbed the surrounding fire-attribute extraordinary energy, so even though the two were standing on scorching lava, Song Ruolan still didn't feel too hot.

"I thought you weren't planning on coming out." Song Ruolan's voice was a little weak, but thankfully she hadn't lost consciousness.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Che simply sighed, indicating that he wouldn't stand by and watch his partner turn into roast chicken.

Unsurprisingly, this earned him two eye rolls. Zhang Che quickly changed the subject, saying in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "You mages are really eye-catching when you get ruthless. Look at what you've done to this place; you could say it's completely ruined."

In terms of destructive power alone, before advancing to the higher levels of transcendence, transcendents like the Lizardmen, who rely almost entirely on hand-to-hand combat, are no match for other transcendent professions.

Zhang Che, who was wearing armor, was also included in this category. This was a basic design that he, as the maker, could not change.

Only when the Emperor Armor is fused together in the future will it be able to acquire more skills.

……

Then Song Ruolan asked Zhang Che with some curiosity why, since he had such a powerful fire-attribute armor, he didn't use it from the beginning, but instead used another water-attribute set first.

"That's because the trump card can only be used last," Zhang Che replied ambiguously, before having Song Ruolan summon Charizard again and take her away from there.

As for the rest of the battle, I'll leave it to myself and the Flame Dragon Armor.

Song Ruolan naturally wouldn't be coy at this time, and she had already done everything she could. Staying here wouldn't be of any help, so she might as well leave quickly to avoid giving Zhang Che any worries.

Watching the fire-breathing dragon disappear into the air, Zhang Che finally had time to look at the lizardman who was lying in the lava healing his wounds.

It can only be said that it is indeed one of the top bloodlines in the extraordinary world. The lizardman is just a dragon descendant whose bloodline is many times thinner, yet he is able to withstand the high temperature of magma with his bare body and even use it to heal his wounds.

Of course, Zhang Che, now clad in the Flame Dragon Armor, is no less formidable.

"Phew, let's finish this as quickly as possible."

As this thought surfaced in Zhang Che's mind, his body vanished from its original spot, and then he appeared above the lizardman who was healing, fist raised.

[Flame Fist]!

Boom!

The gauntlets, made entirely of metal, slammed heavily onto the lizardman's head with a dull thud.

Having succeeded in his attack, Zhang Che naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He immediately began to swing his fists at high speed, raining down one [Flame Fist] after another on the lizardman's head.

The magma provided a continuous source of energy for the Flame Dragon Armor, so Zhang Che didn't need to worry about excessive energy consumption for the time being.

However, the lizardman was clearly not going to sit idly by and wait to die. Not yet completely stunned, it used its last bit of strength to escape the attack range of the Flame Dragon Armor.

The continuous heavy blows had caused the lizardman to exit the state of bloodline burst, and his combat power had returned to its original fifth rank, or even weaker, which reduced the pressure on Zhang Che considerably.

However, at the same time, the lava constantly gushing from the volcano provided a continuous source of energy for the lizardman, allowing his injuries to heal at a visible rate.

No wonder they like fire so much. If Zhang Che is not mistaken, these lizardmen have most likely inherited the bloodline power of the Red Dragon or the Fire Dragon.

Zhang Che dared not delay and immediately began fighting the lizardman. The two exchanged blows, punching and kicking, and for a time they were evenly matched.

However, the injuries caused by being hit by [Void Blast] still had a significant impact on the lizardman. As the battle continued, the lizardman's condition inevitably declined noticeably, and Zhang Che finally gained the upper hand for the first time.

However, because the surrounding area was filled with lava, Zhang Che was unable to do anything to the other party for the time being, and the situation suddenly became deadlocked.

We must find a way to break this deadlock as soon as possible!
