Chapter 138: Blood and Fire (Part 1)
The corridor was narrow and dim, with only a little "candle flame", and Nalan Twilight's group of three confronted the "Cerberus" dressed like a priest, no more than five steps apart, and both sides were calm.
Calm, with an obvious, murderous intent.
"Superfluous...... Ahem......"
Sebirus spoke, his voice a little deep, a little hoarse, and he coughed, sounding like his voice was not very good, even though he was an immortal vampire.
"Superfluous words, no more. He said, "Nalan, Twilight, this is not the first time you have shown your stupidity in front of us. β
"Hehe......" Nalan Yu laughed weakly when he heard this, shrugged his shoulders, and then lowered his head and sighed.
"Yes," he straightened his expression, and continued, "I'm being stupid again." β
"But this time, I promise you, it will be the last ......"
"I'm going to kill you. β
With that, Nalan Yu kicked the ground, five steps away, stepped over one step, hung a flowing wind, stuck to Sebirus, turned his waist, tucked his abdomen, clenched his fist, and hooked the guy's side face with a punch.
"Bang"
His fist failed to touch his opponent's face, and a stream of air that was compressed to the limit burst out of the fist, and it slammed into Sebirus's face long before the fist could be struck. With a loud bang and a small explosion, Sebirus was overturned, blown away, and flew headlong through the cardboard door of the Eternal Pavilion into a Japanese-style room on the left.
"Whew-"
Nalan turned around, looked at the hole on the sliding door that had been knocked out by Sebirus with his body, and gently blew into his fist. Through this hole, he could see that in the dark room, a pair of red eyes were staring at him with a ghostly light.
"Kate!"
He beckoned to Catherine on the side, as well as Yanhua of the Fire who was standing behind Catherine and was a little stunned:
"Have you ever a fire dog? I mean dry fights. β
Catherine shook her head.
"Alright, come over here and stand behind me. And Yanhua, you come over too!"
When the two of them did what he said and stood behind him, Nalan Yu said without looking back:
"The tactics are simple, I'll just say it once. β
"Fight in a moment, Catherine, you keep an eye on that guy, and as soon as he strikes, you drain the energy from him and try to turn him into waste. But be careful, your ability can only be used on him alone, don't use it on a large scale, even if it's for self-protection. When the time comes, I'll move at high speed, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and once it affects me, it's all over. β
"Yanhua!"
As soon as he called out the name, Yanhua in the Fire behind him nodded obediently.
"You stand in the way of Catherine, and once Sebirus realizes that his power is weakened, he will surely pounce on Catherine in desperation. When the time comes, you will be a meat shield and use your body to take his attack. β
"Eh, eh, meat...... Meat shield?"
Yan Hua lifted his glasses, but his stunned expression only lasted for a short time. Soon, she regained her composure, nodded heavily, and replied seriously:
"Okay, I'll do it, no matter what, I'll protect Miss Catherine, with my body!"
After that, she also deliberately patted her full chest, and there was a heat in her nose, showing a sense of ambition to "have the ability to fight here".
Nalan didn't look back at her, but through her tone, he could guess her demeanor and movements at this time, so he smiled unconsciously. Yan Hua didn't see this smile, after all, he didn't look back at all. But when she looked at his silent back, she felt a warmth in her heart for no reasonβshe thought to herself, it was probably the so-called "trust".
"I didn't mean you to die," Nalan added next, "I let you be your shield because you are the only one who can be the shield, after all, our opponent ......"
Halfway through, his voice stopped abruptly.
The firelight, lit up in front of the three of them, quickly spread away, and filled their vision in an instant. It was as if they were in a trance, dizzy, and when they came to their senses, there was already a sea of fire around them. The sliding door in front of him was being burned by flames, and pieces of flaming shredded paper were peeling off the edge of the large hole that had been smashed through earlier. The small room behind the door was easily destroyed by the heat wave, melting like ice bricks under the scorching sun. Sparks and ashes swirl and flutter in the whirlpool of hot wind, like a wonderful dance of spring cherry blossoms and snow.
The beauty of the flame lies in the beauty of the process, and the process of destroying all things is always expressed in a very artistic sense. If it weren't for the deadly heat, and the man who warmed the air, Nalan would have wanted to take a few more looks.
Slowly, silently, Sebirus stood up, a conspicuous bloody mark on the side of his face, which was the mark left by Nalan Yu's previous punch. The two of them looked at each other, and among the two pairs of similar red pupils, there were tongues of fire that jumped with joy.
"There is one thing about this kind of pure wood structure that always disgusts me very much. β
Nalan said under the high temperature.
"Too flammable. β
With that, he stretched his hands back, grabbed Yan Hua and Catherine, and then stomped his feet on the ground, and with a "bang", a strong wind suddenly rose, directly bringing the three of them up a distance of ten meters, piercing through the ceiling of the Eternal Pavilion that had already been roasted by flames. When the three of them rose straight to the apex, almost reaching the red moon in the night sky, Nalan Twilight kicked the air again, stepped on a transparent pedal for a while, changed direction in mid-air, drew a beautiful arc, and finally landed steadily on the lawn outside the Eternal Pavilion.
The extreme of light power in the legend, stepping on the air, and walking.
The evening breeze outside is much more comfortable than the heat inside the house, and in the slight coolness, there is also the aroma of grass and green bamboo. Yan Hua straightened up, patted off the ash that stuck to his hair, and looked up, and saw that the simple and elegant Eternal Pavilion was burning under the reddened night sky, and the pillars that had stood for a hundred years crackled in the flames, and the billowing smoke rose towards the place where the red moon was. In the air, the smoky smell of burning wood became stronger and stronger.
Then, only to hear a loud "boom", the roof of the Eternal Pavilion collapsed.
"I hope it can take over from the Red Devil Pavilion and inherit the fate of the Blast, and no matter what, help it rest in peace. β
After saying this, Nalan turned around and faced the two ladies.
"To return to the topic above, our opponent, Flamin de Sebirus, Hellhound, has the power to ignite anything he touches, 'absolutely' and 'unconditionally'. β
"That's why, I chose you to be the 'shield', Yanhua, because only you can do this. β
"Because the only thing that can fight the flames is the flames themselves. β
After that, Nalan Yu gently patted Yan Hua's shoulder, and in the pair of eyes that looked at her, there was only trust between partners, while Yan Hua only felt a heavy responsibility.
Heavy and fulfilling, this is what she has never experienced, the feeling of being needed and trusted by others.
With an explosion, the collapsed Eternal Pavilion was blown out of a large hole, and a man in black walked out of it, step by step, slowly but firmly, leaving a row of scorched and smoke-emitting footprints on the grass.
"It's up to you. β
Dropping these words, Nalan Yu turned around and handed his back to Yan Hua. Yan Hua, on the other hand, looked straight ahead, the strong enemy that was slowly approaching.
She nodded, her gaze like a falcon.
"Leave it to me. β
