Liu Yuan looked at the confident Ma Xiaotao opposite him, slowly stood up straight, and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Ma Xiaotao, you truly live up to your name."
Liu Yuan's voice remained calm, but his tone carried a touch of genuine admiration.
"To be able to see through my intentions so quickly, you are the first."
"However, so what if you've seen through it? The current me is no longer the one you could predict at will just now."
After that series of dodges just now, he had successfully stacked Dragon Dance three times!
At this moment, both his speed and attack power had undergone a qualitative leap. Although it wasn't enough to completely bridge the gap with a Spirit Saint, he was certainly no longer in a situation where he could only be beaten passively.
"Hmph, arrogant!"
Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, the Battle Intent in her eyes becoming even more fiery.
"Now that I know your trump card, how could I possibly let you continue to have your way?"
"Want to continue stacking that strange dance? In your dreams!"
Boom—!
The flames around Ma Xiaotao suddenly surged; this time, she no longer held back her strength.
"Since you want to dodge, I'll let you dodge to your heart's content!"
"Let's see if your dance is faster, or my Evil Fire!"
Ma Xiaotao threw her hands upward, and the Evil Fire Domain on the ground seemed to be summoned, instantly boiling to its limit.
Countless fire pillars shot into the sky, turning the entire stage into a purgatory of fire, with absolutely no place to stand!
Immediately after, Ma Xiaotao herself transformed into a Phoenix bathed in fire, carrying overwhelming flames, and charged toward Liu Yuan in an extremely violent manner!
This time, it was an all-out saturation strike!
"Come on then!"
Liu Yuan advanced instead of retreating; although his intentions were seen through, he didn't panic.
Since I can't stack it secretly in the dark, I'll stack it openly right in front of you!
As long as my speed is fast enough and my dodging is precise enough, I can keep dancing!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The dark green figure wove frantically through the sky-filling sea of fire.
Although Ma Xiaotao's offensive was more violent than before, and the Evil Fire was burning his body relentlessly.
Although Liu Yuan possessed the "Flash Fire" Ability and was not afraid of fire damage, to avoid exposing this trump card and to mislead his opponent, he still intentionally acted as if he were driven into a wretched state by the flames.
His clothes were scorched, his face was stained with black ash, and he even let out a few "painful" groans occasionally.
This scene fell into Xuan Zi's eyes on the stands, making him instantly beam with joy.
"Hahaha! I knew it!"
Xuan Zi said indistinctly while stuffing a chicken leg into his mouth: "So what if that kid has some strengthening Spirit Ability? In the face of absolute strength, all those fancy tricks are just for show!"
"Xiaotao's Evil Fire is top-tier; no matter how strong that kid's Physical Body is, it's impossible for him to keep enduring this kind of high-temperature burning."
"As long as Xiaotao maintains this pressure, that kid will eventually be severely burned! No matter how many buffs he stacks, if his body collapses, it's all for naught!"
"Xiaotao is sure to win this round!"
The other members of the Shrek waiting area also sighed in relief upon hearing Xuan Zi's words, with relaxed smiles appearing on their faces.
However, Ma Xiaotao, who was in the middle of it, didn't think so.
Although Liu Yuan looked disheveled and was constantly being beaten passively, still...
Why was that feeling of unease becoming even stronger instead?
Whenever she thought she was about to hit him, he would always slide away at an extremely strange angle.
Moreover, as time passed, these sliding movements became faster and smoother, even... increasingly difficult to capture!
"I can't delay any longer!"
Alarm bells rang in Ma Xiaotao's heart.
Her intuition told her that if she didn't end the battle soon, what happened next might go beyond her control.
"Liu Yuan, I have to admit, you indeed have strength."
Ma Xiaotao suddenly leaped backward, distancing herself from Liu Yuan and floating in mid-air.
At this moment, although her spirit power consumption was significant, her Aura had reached its peak.
Those golden-red vertical pupils gazed coldly at Liu Yuan below, her voice carrying an unquestionable dominance.
"But, this match ends here!"
"Whether it's your speed or that strange strengthening Spirit Ability, in the face of absolute power, they will all be meaningless!"
"This next move will be the funeral prepared for you!"
With a sharp cry from Ma Xiaotao, the sixth spirit ring on her body suddenly lit up!
Roar—!
A resonant Phoenix cry echoed through the clouds.
The Fire Phoenix phantom behind Ma Xiaotao instantly solidified, and those huge flaming wings snapped open, blotting out the sun.
In the sky, the originally clear weather instantly turned dark red, as if dyed by blood.
Countless meteorites burning with black flames began to condense in the clouds, emitting a heart-palpitating Aura of destruction.
"Sixth Soul Skill — Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
Ma Xiaotao held her hands high, like a queen controlling fire, delivering the final judgment to Liu Yuan below.
"The farce is over!"
