Heavenly Flame Funeral Petal Flame Flower

Chapter 67 Heavenly Flame Funeral - Thousand-Petaled Flame Flower

As time went on, the scales of victory did not tip in favor of humanity.

Principal Zhu's health is not what it used to be. Forcing the use of high-level magic puts too much strain on his body. Maintaining the Wings of Wind is already quite difficult, let alone releasing another high-level magic attack at the same time.

His body was already nearing its limit, and he was only able to hold on until now thanks to a strong belief.

As for Zhan Kong, his condition was not very good either. Although Principal Zhu shared the burden of one of the Winged Wolves, the terrifying half-meter-long gash on his back was still unknowingly wearing down his strength. In addition, with the Star River drying up, he could not hold on for long.

Moreover, the female demon wolf that Zhan Kong was fighting was grieving the loss of her cub, and she channeled her grief and anger into power, making her even stronger than usual.

"Awoo~"

The female demon wolf gathered terrifying energy in its mouth, and then a crimson beam of light shot out, powerful enough to severely injure a demon of the same level.

"Wind Wings - Guardian!"

The pair of wings behind Zhan Kong shone brightly with azure light, transforming into a layer of azure feathers that protected Zhan Kong's entire body.

"Sizzle~"

The crimson beam of light collided with the wind barrier, and the powerful impact propelled Zhan Kong directly into a building.

"Zhan Kong, you better not die!" Seeing that things were not going well, Principal Zhu flapped his Wind Wings to avoid the Winged Wolf's attack and approached Zhan Kong's landing point.

"Cough cough! It's nothing!"

The wind barrier was sturdy enough to withstand the Winged Wolf's attack and maintain its strength for a moment, though the azure light appeared somewhat dim compared to before.

However, the terrifying impact did make Zhan Kong feel as if his internal organs were about to shatter.

"You beast, try this trick then!"

Zhan Kong was burning with rage, and a magnificent fire constellation reappeared behind him, his majestic body surrounded by even more powerful flames than before!

Heavenly Flame Funeral - Thousand Petal Flames!

Zhan Kong raised two balls of blazing flames with both hands and threw them into the air. The blazing fire exploded, transforming into a dazzling yet extremely dangerous flower of fire!

This is a high-level, third-tier fire spell, with its power increasing once again. The first-tier flame rain only had a hundred or so fireballs descending, but at the third tier, the number has increased several times over, with more than a thousand extremely hot fire petals forming the blazing flower above!

"boom!"

An immense and unparalleled pressure descended, and a dazzling display of flames exploded in mid-air, with thousands of petals falling like a dormant volcano unleashing its fury and roaring!

The female winged wolf sensed a strong threat and dared not confront it head-on. With a flap of her wings, she instantly moved more than a hundred meters away.

"Hiding? What's the point!"

Zhan Kong grinned maliciously, waved his hand, and directed the thousand petals of flame to bombard the two winged wolves. Although the main firepower was concentrated on the female winged wolf, even the residual power of the leftovers was enough to give the already seriously injured winged wolf a hard time!

"Awoo~"

Amidst the rain of flames, the Winged Wolf howled in agony, its body constantly subjected to scorching pain, its thick flesh being burned open!

Meanwhile, inside the safety barrier, everyone watched the battle in the sky with tense expressions. Seeing that the Winged Wolf was being suppressed by the Fire element of the Sky-Slaying Technique, they felt relieved.

"If the Winged Wolf were so easy to deal with, it wouldn't be considered a ruler of demons."

Mu He looked slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Zhan Kong to be so powerful, but he remained as calm as a rock.

"Furthermore, Zhan Kong, after using a level three fire spell, how much mana do you have left?"

…………

As expected, just as Mu He had predicted, this attack almost completely drained Zhan Kong's magical energy. If one could look into Zhan Kong's spiritual universe, one would surely notice that the originally brilliant red galaxy had become dim and lifeless.

The depletion of the fire-elemental galaxy had a significant impact on the mage; Zhan Kong's body swayed precariously in mid-air, and his azure wind wings appeared somewhat illusory.

"Zhan Kong, are you alright?" Principal Zhu reached out to support Zhan Kong and asked with concern.

"Great, I won't die for now!" Zhan Kong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The impact just now was indeed powerful, and he suffered serious internal injuries.

"With such terrifying power, those two beasts must be in a lot of trouble!"

"You're too optimistic!" Zhan Kong sighed, shook his head, and explained, "That female winged wolf is probably at the level of a Grand Commander. Although my third-level magic is quite powerful, it's difficult to kill it instantly; at most, it will be seriously injured."

As if to confirm Zhan Kong's words, as the thousand-petaled fireworks faded, the terrifying figures of the two winged wolves reappeared. The slightly weaker male winged wolf was lying on the ground, its skin charred black, with scorching flames licking its body, its life or death unknown.

"Strange, logically speaking, my [Heavenly Flame Funeral] shouldn't be able to kill it, right?"

Zhan Kong was somewhat puzzled, but he quickly understood the cause and effect.

Behind the male winged wolf whose fate was unknown, stood the even more imposing female winged wolf. Apart from some faint charred marks, she had no other obvious injuries, a stark contrast to her companion in front of her.

"Damn it! This female winged wolf is too cunning! She used her companion as a human shield, absorbing most of the damage while only suffering some minor, insignificant injuries herself!"

It is said that the most venomous heart is that of a woman, but the wickedness of a mother wolf is no less than that.

A sense of helplessness and bitterness welled up in Principal Zhu's heart.

In this way, Zhan Kong's third-level fire magic did not cause any damage to the female winged wolf. At the same time, Zhan Kong was nearly exhausted after casting the magic, and his combat power was close to zero. He was fighting against the almost fully-powered Great Commander Demon with only his old bones.

"Old Zhu, I can still fight, let me go!" Zhan Kong shouted, but he couldn't stop Principal Zhu from pinning him against a building.

"You stay here! I'll fight him to the death with these old bones!" Principal Zhu resolutely charged towards the female winged wolf.

Zhan Kong didn't intend to stand idly by, but as soon as he got up, the horrifying crack behind him forced him to stop and rest.

Severely injured and with his fire and wind magic power depleted, even if he forced himself to go to the battlefield, he would only be a hindrance.

Helpless, Zhan Kong could only look up and observe the battlefield situation...

Above Bo City, the battlefield...

"Light rained down, covering the ground!"

Principal Zhu recited the magic incantation again, constructing a complex golden constellation.

As he finished speaking, a barrage of incredibly sharp golden arrows rained down, showering the female winged wolf with a torrential downpour.
