The black eyeball of Xie Huo suddenly expanded, and the color gradually changed from black to purple.
The flame in his hand also changed from the previous red to the current purple, and the flame was no longer just burning above his palm, but wrapped around his entire hand!
"Second form?" Jiang Kai frowned.
A human player, why would he have a second form!
The current Xie Huo gave off a strange feeling, especially after the change in those eyes, they no longer looked like human eyes at all.
That gaze made Jiang Kai's heart tremble.
It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before!
"I admit, your attributes are so exaggerated that even I can't believe it, but you're ultimately a mortal class. You won't understand what true transcendence is, what true eeriness is! Now let me show you what a real eerie being is!" After speaking, Xie Huo roared, "Flame of the Qilin!"
Boom! The surrounding flames, which were almost extinguished, suddenly surged with power, once again filling the space, and the color changed from red to purple flames.
Under the extremely high temperature, Jiang Kai would suffer burns just by approaching the flames!
At that moment, Xie Huo suddenly lunged toward Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai immediately leaped to the side.
The two were very close. Although Xie Huo's hand did not grab Jiang Kai, it left behind a trail of flame afterimages.
Even though Jiang Kai was still more than ten centimeters away from the afterimage, burns still appeared on his skin!
This guy can do close combat too, and with such high flame intensity, just being near him causes burns?
Jiang Kai's melee technique was only the "Sword of the Moonlight Immortal Trace," which he had already used before and could only use again after ten hours.
And just as Jiang Kai retreated, Xie Huo merely glanced at Jiang Kai's location. suddenly, flames ignited under Jiang Kai's feet!
"Once his gaze locks on a certain location, he can directly ignite it?!" Jiang Kai was utterly shocked. This is way too powerful!
However, the most urgent thing was to avoid the flames. Jiang Kai dodged again. Though he avoided the flames, his body still suffered severe burns in several areas.
"Damn, why is this guy so strong." Jiang Kai thought to himself. "The flame's burn range is also very large. After being burned, my stamina limit keeps decreasing."
Thinking of this, Jiang Kai immediately threw out Chasing Life and ran frantically to the side, trying hard to move behind Xie Huo.
Xie Huo's eyes were too terrifying. Fortunately, those eyes couldn't directly ignite Jiang Kai. only specific areas could be affected. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight!
Several Chasing Life arrows shot toward Xie Huo, and after he entered the second form, the power of the fireball explosions and their knockback were several times stronger than before!
"True energy dissolved my attacks!"
"Jiang Kai, you dared to provoke the Huang family, this is your end!" Xie Huo roared and waved both hands, lashing out countless tongues of flame to attack Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai used his high mobility to avoid the tongues of flame, but he still couldn't avoid the burns.
Surrounded by flames, and with the space left for Jiang Kai to move getting smaller and smaller, if this continued, he might lose the battle!
"I can't keep dodging like this!"
"That state should be taking effect soon." Jiang Kai said anxiously.
"Fire Dragon!" Xie Huo immediately gathered the flames again into a giant dragon, which suddenly pounced from the sky.
At this moment, Jiang Kai could no longer dodge. Facing the incoming fire dragon, he could only first activate his Qi Shield.
But flames inherently counter the Qi Shield, Jiang Kai's shield would likely be consumed very quickly.
Xie Huo laughed wildly, "Using a Qi Shield to block flames, you really came up with that idea!"
"Jiang Kai, people say you're good with fire, but now you're about to be roasted by me?"
"Hahaha, come on, show me something! You see me torturing your friend like this, and you can't do anything. Don't you feel useless?"
"In front of me, you don't even have the courage to play with fire! Besides, your pitiful flames can't even break through my flame defenses!"
"Relax, I only want half your life. After this, Huang Jianguo will entertain you slowly!"
Jiang Kai had no time to respond to Xie Huo. Just as he activated the Qi Shield, he also activated another skill,
Fool's Eye!
Fool's Eye sacrifices most of the user's reaction speed in exchange for seeing the weak points in the enemy's attacks.
Since he couldn't dodge, Jiang Kai simply gave up his reaction speed.
The moment the skill activated, Jiang Kai suddenly saw behind Xie Huo, a terrifying beast had appeared.
That beast was extraordinarily mighty, with purple flames all over its body. The purple flames on it were continuously flowing into the surrounding flames.
On the other hand, flames near the beast couldn't get close to it. This state seemed to have been passed on to Xie Huo, wherever he stood, the surrounding flames would automatically weaken and become faint yellow flames.
That is… a Fire Qilin?
The purple flames of Xie Huo did not originate from himself, but from the Fire Qilin.
Additionally, the Fire Qilin was providing him with considerable flame resistance!
Jiang Kai suddenly remembered, the skill Xie Huo activated earlier was Soul Contract – Fire Qilin!
So, the weakness of Xie Huo's attacks now wasn't himself, but that Fire Qilin!
Fool's Eye allowed him to see the Fire Qilin, but under normal circumstances, Jiang Kai couldn't see it, nor did he have a way to attack it in this state.
But soon, Jiang Kai remembered, he still had another skill, Destiny Snatch!
The Fire Qilin behind Xie Huo probably wasn't a real creature assisting him, but more like a buff state, greatly enhancing his flame power.
At the same time, the Fire Qilin likely also provided very high flame resistance.
Xie Huo shouldn't have any other buffs, and Jiang Kai himself had none…
"As long as I finish you, your brother and sister will all die! Hahahaha!" Xie Huo laughed maniacally.
At the mention of his big brother and Yingzi, Jiang Kai suddenly roared, "You're looking for death!"
Destiny Snatch!
At the same time, Jiang Kai heard a system prompt:
> [Enemy state: Fire Qilin Buff, enhances flame power by 100%, increases flame defense by 150. Since this is a Tier 5 Eerie state, it's too high-level for direct acquisition. After Destiny Snatch takes effect, you'll receive 50% flame strength and +75 flame defense.]
Jiang Kai immediately gained the "Fire Qilin Buff" status, but a weakened version.
But at this moment, the system voice rang out again:
> ["Fool's Dream" has been active for 10 minutes. Dream becomes reality. You gain a special attack boost effect: +100 True Qi attack power (True Qi attacks cannot crit).]
"It's finally here!" Jiang Kai's eyes widened. The 10 minutes were finally up!
At this moment, Jiang Kai's Qi Shield was destroyed, and the flames surged toward him like a tidal wave.
At the critical moment, Jiang Kai suddenly struck!
Combo State – Wrath of the Primordial God!
In the next second, purple flames poured down like a waterfall toward Jiang Kai.
At the same time, a beam of black light shot toward Xie Huo before the flames landed.
Xie Huo tried to use a fireball explosion to block it. Just as the explosion pushed back the arrowhead, a black shadow burst out from within it.
Jiang Kai had hidden the Yan Wang Order inside the Chasing Life combo form! Xie Huo's fireball blast did scatter Chasing Life, but it couldn't block Yan Wang Order!
At this time, Xie Huo's fire shield had already been broken by Jiang Kai, and his Flame Armor had already used its special effect once, both were unavailable now.
Xie Huo never expected Jiang Kai's last-minute strike would still hide a surprise move, leaving him no time to dodge!
In an instant, Xie Huo saw a blur in front of him, then Yan Wang Order pierced through his chest.
Although True Qi attacks couldn't crit, they almost completely ignored defense. Jiang Kai's base strength attribute was already high, and his attack power was terrifying.
Even though Xie Huo had armor inside and out with basic defense capabilities, it still couldn't withstand Yan Wang Order!
In a flash, Yan Wang Order directly pierced through Xie Huo's body!
As Xie Huo was seriously injured, the Fire Qilin was also seriously hurt and quickly disappeared.
As the Fire Qilin vanished, the surrounding purple flames finally returned to normal, becoming very weak.
In the battlefield, both men collapsed at the same time.
A moment later, Xie Huo struggled to open his eyes, only to see Jiang Kai standing up with support. His eyes had returned to normal, and he looked at Jiang Kai in shock.
"You... you can still stand?!"
Jiang Kai staggered over, raised his hand, and retrieved Yan Wang Order.
Jiang Kai said calmly, "If you want to blame someone, blame Huang Jianguo. If not for him, we might've ended in mutual destruction. But he wanted a live capture, and you said you wouldn't kill me. Also, thanks for your Fire Qilin buff, I'm not as badly hurt as you thought."
"My... my Fire Qilin buff… you!"
Jiang Kai had already clenched Yan Wang Order in his hand.
Just as he was about to speak, he sensed movement behind him and quickly covered Zhao Tiequan's mouth.
This guy woke up, he was definitely going to steal the lines again…
Jiang Kai smiled slightly, "Congratulations, you also qualify to enjoy a chance of 'your time not yet come.'"
…
Behind him, came Xie Huo's wailing. Jiang Kai, limping and struggling, walked out of the now weakened sea of fire with a cold snort.
"Eerie class? Nothing more than this. Huang Jianguo, this is all you've got? Let's see what comes next!"
"Big Brother Zhao, hang on, I'll definitely bring you back alive!"
Behind him, Zhao Tiequan was no longer as lively as before. Leaning on Jiang Kai's shoulder, he mumbled:
"Human Emperor… truly peerless under the heavens…"
