Chapter 261
Evil Fire Phoenix? I think it's more like roast chicken.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes instantly turned icy cold, her cat-like pupils contracted, and a sharp fluctuation of soul power appeared on her body.
She was about to teach this foolish fat man a lesson—
hum!
An invisible, heavy pressure suddenly descended!
Ma Hongjun's smile froze!
The outstretched chubby hand froze in mid-air, as if it had been cast in invisible steel!
He felt his body suddenly become incredibly heavy, and the surrounding air was as thick as mud, making it difficult for him to even breathe!
The ground beneath his feet seemed to have turned into a vortex with extremely strong suction, pinning him firmly to the spot, unable to move!
A fear originating from the depths of his soul instantly seized him, causing his obese body to tremble uncontrollably, and his small eyes to fill with utter terror!
This oppressive force was like facing a towering, imminent mountain!
Lin Xia didn't even look at him.
He simply raised his right hand casually, pointed his index finger in Ma Hongjun's direction, and flicked it lightly.
A soft sound, like a pebble being thrown into calm water.
boom!
The ground beneath Ma Hongjun's feet suddenly exploded without warning!
It wasn't a shockwave from an explosion of soul power, but rather a burst of pure dust particles that instantly condensed and exploded, like countless tiny, hard particles, as fine as diamond sand!
A condensed, extremely concentrated sandstorm, like a giant, earthy-yellow python with life, instantly engulfed Ma Hongjun's obese body!
"what--!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream pierced the sky!
That sandblasting wasn't a simple impact; it was more like a grinding machine covered with high-speed rotating grinding wheels!
The moment Ma Hongjun's clothes came into contact with the sand and dust, they were torn and shredded into countless pieces of cloth!
His once-proud fat body was now being scraped and cut as if by countless tiny grinding wheels!
His skin instantly turned bright red, and countless fine bloodstains appeared. A searing pain swept over his entire body like a tidal wave, making him feel as if he were being slowly tortured to death!
"Bastard! You're asking for it!"
The intense pain and fear ignited Ma Hongjun's ferocity. After all, he was a student of Shrek Academy and possessed the mutated martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix!
At the critical moment of life and death, he forcibly broke free from some of the oppressive force!
"Poisoned by the Phoenix!"
Ma Hongjun roared!
A crimson light suddenly erupted from his body!
A pair of wings made of purplish-red flames suddenly spread out behind him, radiating waves of heat!
His body seemed to have grown a little taller, and his short hair suddenly turned into a mohawk-like purplish-red, while his two mustache-like tufts of hair turned into the shape of burning flames!
Two spirit rings, Huang and Huang, instantly rose up and surrounded him!
Unfortunately, the flames brought by his mutated phoenix martial soul did not bring majesty at this moment. Instead, due to the sudden change in form, his mohawk, fiery beard, and chubby face twisted in pain made him look even more comical and ferocious.
Just like an angry old hen.
"First Soul Skill! Phoenix Fire Line!"
Despite the excruciating pain from the sand scraping his entire body, Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a thick, purplish-red pillar of flame, about the thickness of an arm, towards Lin Xia!
The flames were scorching hot, carrying an eerie aura, distorting the air as they shot straight towards us!
Faced with the onrushing flames, Lin Xia's eyes remained calm and unwavering; she didn't even raise an eyebrow.
He maintained the finger-snap gesture, but the faint yellowish-brown halo surrounding his fingertips flickered slightly.
call--!
The fierce phoenix fire line that Ma Hongjun spat out seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of sighs made of thick earth elements just three feet away from Lin Xia!
Chi Chi Chi -!
A violent sound of energy friction rang out!
The crimson flames scorched and licked at the invisible barrier, sparks flying and heat waves rolling. Yet, no matter how fierce the flames surged, the seemingly thin, yellowish-brown halo remained unmoved, as steady as a rock!
The firelight illuminated Lin Xia's calm face, but he didn't even blink.
The flames lasted for several seconds, and Ma Hongjun's soul power was visibly depleted, with veins bulging on his forehead, yet he couldn't budge Lin Xia in the slightest.
Ultimately, the flames lost their strength and dissipated unwillingly into the air.
"That's it?"
Lin Xia finally spoke, her voice indifferent, with a hint of obvious mockery.
"A phoenix of evil fire? I think it's more like... roast chicken."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Xia flicked her index finger slightly again.
Awooo—!
The earthy yellow hair curls wrapped around Ma Hongjun suddenly let out a low roar!
Countless high-speed rotating grains of sand instantly coalesced into sharp, knife-like spikes, no longer scraping, but carrying penetrating power, fiercely stabbing towards Ma Hongjun!
"Puff puff puff puff—!"
The earth spikes precisely avoided vital points, but mercilessly pierced through Ma Hongjun's limbs and thick flesh!
The excruciating pain rendered him speechless instantly, and all he could manage were hoarse gasps from his throat!
The purplish-red flame wings instantly dissipated, and the Martial Soul Possession state was forcibly interrupted!
He turned into a blood-soaked sieve, collapsing heavily onto the muddy ground covered in gravel and blood, like a fat pig that had been completely drained of blood, leaving only violent convulsions and terrified, desperate sobs.
The sand and dust seemed to have a life of their own, swirling around Lin Xia's fingertips before instantly dissipating into nothingness, as if they had never existed.
All that remained on the ground was a shallow pit, tattered cloth, bloodstains, and a fat man lying limp and lifeless.
Lin Xia didn't even glance at the pile of fat on the ground again, as if she had just casually crushed a buzzing fly.
He turned to Zhu Zhuqing beside him, the coldness in his eyes instantly melting away, replaced by a gentle questioning look.
"Did I scare you? I'll beat up this kind of trash every time I see him in the future."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Xia, a hint of dependence and admiration she herself was unaware of.
Lin Xia's seemingly casual yet powerful actions, and the precise sarcasm of "roast chicken," made her heart race slightly. She whispered:
"No. It's just... a little nauseous."
She glanced with disgust at Ma Hongjun, who lay unconscious and bleeding on the ground, reeking of blood and a burnt smell.
"Let's go."
Lin Xia naturally took Zhu Zhuqing's slightly cool hand in hers, as if nothing had happened.
"The air here is polluted. Let's go to the village entrance and see if there are any breakfast stalls there."
Lin Xia pulled Zhu Zhuqing along, bypassing the unsightly "garbage" on the ground, and walked calmly towards the direction where the smoke from the chimneys was thicker. The morning light shone on their backs, completely covering up their earlier violence.
The village returned to a superficial tranquility in the early morning, with only a faint smell of blood and a faint smell of burning in the air, and the occasional surprised and uncertain murmurs of villagers in the distance, telling the story of what had just happened.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, everyone seemed still immersed in the exhaustion of last night and the chaos of this morning, unaware of the brief but cruel interlude that had occurred at the village entrance. (End of Chapter)
