Chapter 220: Chapter 220
“Argh”, Eru grunted as his strike was parried hard by the red-haired woman. “Hey, hey, don’t tell me that’s all? Where is your previous bravado?” the red-haired woman taunted. “Not enough yet. Aargh!” Eru shouted, brandishing his black sword toward the red-haired woman. “Heh”, the red-haired woman clicked her tongue, “When will you ever learn,” she said while raising her maroon-coloured boomerang. “I have better chances this way”, Eru’s black sword clashed with the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang. “True. It would be foolish to fight me at a distance”, the red-haired woman gathered her crimson-coloured aura, “However—”
The red-haired woman kicked Eru on his stomach, sending him flying towards a nearby wall. Just before Eru hit the wall, he flapped his wings, flipping in the air before flying upwards, avoiding the inevitable crash. “You forgot about my special constitution”, the red-haired woman suddenly appeared before Eru, grabbing his arm and throwing him away. “Tch”, Eru clicked his tongue as he recovered in the air on time before hitting the ground. But, before Eru could recover completely, the red-haired woman was already behind Eru. “Damn it!” Eru quickly turned around, swinging his black sword at the red-haired woman.
“Now that I have the same speed as you, it showed, right? Your lack of experience”, the red-haired woman smiled while blocking Eru’s black sword. After that, the red-haired woman nimbly moved her maroon-coloured boomerang to parry Eru’s black sword. “Your technique is quite good for your age, but against someone more skilled than you, you need a surprise element”, the red-haired woman commented as she delivered a barrage of attacks toward Eru. “This is getting boring now”, the red-haired woman said, “Let us end this dance of death.” After that, the red-haired woman parried Eru’s black sword to the side before raising her maroon-coloured boomerang up high.
Just as the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang down at Eru, the latter smirked. “It’s time”, Eru mumbled softly. The red-haired woman noticed Eru’s smirk, but it was all too late for her. “Explosion!” Eru yelled out loud as fire mana particles gathered around him. In just a split second, the fire mana particles vibrated erratically. With a boom, an explosive engulfed both the red-haired woman and Eru. However, just before the explosion hit him, Eru surrounded himself with his raven-coloured aura and Fate Energy. Because of the explosion, both Eru and the red-haired woman were sent flying back.
The red-haired woman was heavily injured while Eru hit his head on a nearby wall. “Hah, hah, hah”, the red-haired woman panted hard, but her expression was that of joy, “Y-you. You got me good, bastard”, she said while clutching her chest. “Urgh”, Eru grunted as his consciousness was still groggy from the impact. “I almost die, you bastard”, the red-haired woman said while approaching Eru slowly but surely. “To show you respect, I’ll kill you instantly without any pain”, the red-haired woman raised her hand, summoning her maroon-coloured boomerang. The red-haired woman pressed Eru to the ground with her leg, “Any last word?” the red-haired woman pointed the tip of her maroon-coloured boomerang at Eru.
“Hehe”, Eru let out a small laugh, “In the end, it was still not enough.” The red-haired woman had a massive grin on her face, “Be proud, kid. To be able to push me, Zhu Rong this far is an accomplishment. Die!” Eru stared at the red-haired woman, bravely facing his death. “Argh”, the red-haired woman grunted as she was sent flying back, crashing into a nearby wall. “Haha, I forgot about you, Meng Huo”, the red-haired woman said as she got herself out from the rubbles. “You better not. I want you to remember who killed you the second time”, Meng Huo said before letting out a bestial roar. After that, Meng Huo flapped his wings, etching closer to the red-haired woman.
“Hah, talking big for someone who could not utilize his new powers”, the red-haired woman charged toward the advancing Meng Huo. With a boom, the red-haired woman and Meng Huo clashed their fists mid-air, creating a small shockwave. Meanwhile, Eru was watching the exchange between the red-haired woman and Meng Huo in the corner while sitting cross-legged. “Please, please stall her for a bit, Meng Huo”, Eru muttered. After that, Eru closed his eyes, returning to his meditation. However, the red-haired woman proved to be much more stronger than Meng Huo. Although the red-haired woman was not using her maroon-coloured boomerang, she still gained the upper hand against Meng Huo.
“Argh”, Meng Huo yelled in pain as he was sent back by the red-haired woman’s kick to his stomach. “Haha, this feels nice. Who would’ve thought that the mighty Meng Huo is now right in front of me, panting and kneeling with weakness?” the red-haired woman grinned while slightly raising her head. “Hah, hah, hah. Give me back my old body, and we’ll see who kneeled with weakness”, Meng Huo said as he glared with hatred at the red-haired woman. “This shows how much you have weakened, old man”, the red-haired woman scoffed. “Easy for you to say. You’re not the one being caged for years”, Meng Huo spat on the ground. The red-haired woman shrugged her shoulders, and then she approached Meng Huo before she proceeded to hold him by his throat.
“Any last words?” The red-haired woman slightly tilted her head as she raised Meng Huo up. “Go to hell”, Meng Huo cursed. “Then die!” the red-haired woman pulled her right hand back. Just when the red-haired woman was about to thrust her hand inside Meng Huo’s stomach, she was interrupted by a fireball. “Tch”, the red-haired woman clicked her tongue as the fireball hit her face. “Who!?” the red-haired woman shouted after throwing Meng Huo towards a nearby wall. “Remember me?” Long suddenly appeared above the red-haired woman. “You!” the red-haired woman raised her arms up. “Hah!” Long hit the red-haired woman’s arms with his iconic red staff, coated with his red protective membrane.
“Now!” Long shouted. “Earth Bind!” the blue-haired female soldier raised her wand. After that, the ground beneath the red-haired woman raised, grabbing the red-haired woman by her legs. “Now, freeze”, the blue-haired female soldier swung down her wand, causing the ground to be frozen in place, “Big sis.” The armoured woman burst out from the door, with her sword pointed at the red-haired woman; she charged forward. “Right”, the armoured woman swiped the base of her sword with two of her fingers as she softly chanted, “Lightning added with fire.” Mana surged, coating the armoured woman’s sword before brandishing it at the red-haired woman.
At the same time, while the red-haired woman’s attention was on the armoured woman, Sydney quietly sneaked behind the red-haired woman. “Die!” Sydney yelled as she slashed her aura-coated blade at the red-haired woman. “Fuck”, the red-haired woman cursed; she put up a protective crimson aura around herself before she With a boom, the clash between Sydney’s golden-coloured aura, the blue-haired female soldier’s spell, Long’s violent mana, the armoured woman’s attack and the red-haired woman’s protective aura sent all of them flying back. Long manoeuvred in the air by flapping his red-coloured wings, his eyes squinted while observing the smoke down below.
The armoured woman cached the blue-haired female soldier mid-air while Sydney flipped in the air, landing safely on the ground. “Did we get her?” Sydney asked. “Don’t let your guard down yet”, the armoured woman chimed in. Long furrowed his eyebrows before suddenly, he gathered his mana into his red staff. After that, Long launched a barrage of fireballs from within his red staff toward the smoke. “Damn it, give me time to rest a little”, the voice of a familiar red-haired woman resounded within the smoke. Long’s fireballs barrage caused the smoke around the red-haired woman to dissipate, revealing a wounded red-haired woman.
“Don’t stop attacking her!” Long shouted, “She will regenerate otherwise.” Sydney, the armoured woman and the blue-haired female soldier all nodded at the same time, “Right”, Sydney replied before leaping in towards the red-haired woman. Sydney’s blade met with the red-haired woman’s arm, “Heh, your strategy is correct. However, you are too weak to deal any damage to me”, she said. “Maybe. Thankfully, I’m not alone”, Sydney smirked before leaping away, allowing the armoured woman to strike the red-haired woman with her mana-infused sword. The red-haired woman raised her hand, summoning her maroon-coloured boomerang in time; she blocked the armoured woman’s sword.
The red-haired woman raised her eyes slightly, “Hooh, double coating, I see. You’ve improved since the last time I saw you”, she said. “But still not enough”, the red-haired woman parried back the armoured woman’s sword. “Heh”, the armoured woman let out a small chuckle before two icicles shot through the air. The red-haired woman managed to block the two icicles from the blue-haired female soldier; however, Long was already behind the red-haired woman. “Good move”, the red-haired woman’s lips curled up into a small smile. “Of course; who do you think I am?” Long put his red staff on the red-haired woman’s back. “Explosion!”
