Chapter 99 Battle Against the Illusory One
As Lin Qiong finished speaking, the temperature inside the space suddenly rose sharply.
The intense heat raged through this cave, as if it were burning away the surrounding air.
A few beads of sweat appeared on everyone's foreheads and slowly slid down their cheeks.
Huanlong, who had been looking down on Lin Qiong and his group as if they were ants, now showed a look of astonishment on his face.
Just as she turned to look in Lin Qiong's direction, her vision was completely engulfed by a blazing fire.
"Goodbye to the body you just created, Huanlong!!"
Lin Qiong's figure emerged from the surging flames, the flames wrapped around the Heavenly Fire Greatsword leaving long trails in the air.
Walter Young, who witnessed all of this, sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead.
After all, he had just instructed Lin Qiong not to release the Heavenly Fire Judgment casually.
But now it seems that Lin Qiong didn't take his words to heart.
Lin Qiong swung his Heavenly Fire Greatsword and slashed fiercely at Huanlong. The sword, made of molten gold from high heat, shimmered with a terrifying crimson light under the backdrop of the flames.
"boom!!"
Flames and explosions intertwined, forming a dazzling pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky, illuminating the surroundings in a crimson glow.
Unable to react in time, Huanlong was instantly engulfed by the extremely destructive flames, her massive body emitting scorching sounds in the flames.
"You... Ugh!!"
Faced with Lin Qiong's sudden attack, Huanlong screamed in pain, her voice filled with anger and resentment.
The feeling is like a tall human being relentlessly bitten by mosquitoes.
Although it may seem insignificant, the itching and pain are unbearable.
"Get out of my way!"
Huanlong trembled angrily in the flames, letting the fierce flames ravage her body.
With a thought, a vast life force emanated from her body.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
With a dull thud, several winding branches of the Jianmu tree burst forth from the ground.
They swayed in the air, like agile pythons, swiftly attacking Lin Qiong.
"Qiong! Get out of the way!!"
Seeing this, March 7th, who was in the crowd, anxiously shouted a warning to Lin Qiong.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
When Lin Qiong saw Huanlong being directly hit by the Heavenly Fire, yet still able to let out an angry roar, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Just as Lin Qiong was about to retreat, the side effects of unleashing the Heavenly Fire suddenly appeared.
A sense of powerlessness quickly enveloped his entire body, making him feel unusually heavy.
His body trembled involuntarily, his knees bent slightly, and he eventually knelt uncontrollably on the ground.
At this moment, it felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on Lin Qiong, making him unable to move.
Lin Qiong frowned, secretly annoyed, "This is bad."
It seems that without the adaptability of "Honkai Energy", relying solely on the "Star Core" to resist the side effects of the Heavenly Fire Unleashed is ultimately too much of a stretch.
Although he wouldn't be killed by the "Honkai energy," the feeling of exhaustion was still quite unpleasant for Lin Qiong.
Faced with Huanlong's swift counterattack, Lin Qiong knew he had no way to avoid it and could only watch helplessly as the branches came hurtling towards him.
As the winding branches drew closer, Lin Qiong slowly closed his eyes.
"Hopefully... this won't hurt too much."
The sound of branches tearing through the air drowned out Lin Qiong's murmur, accompanied by the howling wind roaring in his ears.
Just when Lin Qiong thought he was about to be swallowed by the tree roots, several crisp metallic clanging sounds suddenly rang in his ears.
"Clang clang clang!"
The pain he expected did not come as predicted. Instead, he clearly felt a scorching heat coming from ahead.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with doubt.
Suddenly, Xing appeared before him, the flaming spear she gripped tightly burning fiercely, which she used as a shield.
When the branches touched the flames erupting from the fire spear, they were driven back by the fierce flames as if they had encountered an impregnable city wall.
Seemingly noticing Lin Qiong's gaze, Xing slightly turned her head and gave him a confident smile.
Her expression seemed to say, "Don't worry, I'm here."
After seeing that Star General Lin Qiong had been rescued, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the heavy weight in their hearts was lifted.
They recalled the perilous situation Lin Qiong had just faced and were still somewhat shaken, deeply worried about his safety.
Then, Xing gently raised the flaming spear in her hand, and the surging flames danced in the air with her movements.
Under her manipulation, the surrounding flames seemed to come alive, quickly climbing onto the vibrant branches and igniting them all.
The branches crackled and popped under the heat of the flames.
Like a lit wire, the flames spread rapidly along the outstretched branches to their roots, until they burned away the source as well.
At the same time, the raging flames surrounding Huanlong gradually subsided, and her enormous body was revealed to everyone.
"What astonishing power!"
Jing Yuan was slightly surprised by Huanlong's current appearance. He narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze toward Lin Qiong's location.
The others were equally shocked by Huanlong's tragic state, their faces filled with astonishment.
Huanlong's once beautiful body was now covered in wounds, with clear signs of being scorched by flames.
The embers on the ornament above her head still flickered gently, casting a faint glow.
But what's most shocking is Huanlong's arm.
Her once slender and jade-like arm is now reduced to a shocking severed end.
Huanlong's severed arm fell limply to her side, echoing her clothes charred black by the flames, both telling the story of the astonishing power of the Heavenly Fire unleashed.
"So this so-called Great Lord of Annihilation, he seems to be nothing special after all."
Seeing Huanlong's slightly disheveled appearance, Sanyueqi put his hands on his hips and revealed a smug smile.
At this moment, Huanlong was severely injured by Lin Qiong, and with Xing's timely rescue, the scales of victory seemed to be gradually tilting in their favor.
However, as soon as March 7th finished speaking, Huanlong slowly raised his head.
She sneered, her eyes full of contempt: "You think you can destroy the body born from the Jianmu tree with such an attack? How naive."
