Chapter 289
289 The moment of life and death
That figure was sharp, fierce and as fast as a lightning bolt. It moved silently. The key was that few people could imagine that someone would come out of the wall of the underground secret room.
Xia ping ‘an’s eyes suddenly opened. The Tri-elements whip that she had just summoned in her hand was like a startled spirit snake when the figure flew out from the wall. It trembled violently and made an ear-piercing shriek. It flew out from where he was, and the speed of the whip instantly broke the sound barrier, stabbing straight at the figure’s head.
The whip instantly pierced through the man’s head. Just as Xia ping ‘an thought that the man’s head would explode, the man split into two and continued to rush toward Xia ping’ an.
Xia ping ‘an was shocked. Just now, he thought that the figure was a human, but when the whip went through the figure’s head, he felt that the figure was not a human, but a summoned creature.
The dagger in one of the figures ‘hands gleamed coldly like a shooting star as it went straight for Xia ping’ an’s throat. The other figure waved his hand, and two poisonous pythons, each more than three meters long, formed from twisted black smoke, pounced at Xia ping ‘an from two different directions.
This method and response were strange and vicious. It had the fierceness and speed of a martial artist and the strange changes of a Summoner. It was impossible to guard against. If Xia Pingan was still fusing with the realm Pearl at this moment, he would definitely die. Even if he was prepared, facing such an attack at such a close distance, he would still give people a sense of despair and even panic.
Xia Pingan stomped his feet and summoned two ferocious Tigers. They roared in the secret room and rushed towards the two venomous pythons. He shook his long whip and pulled it back. The entire long whip suddenly burned like a flame and went straight for the neck of the black shadow holding the dagger.
The burning Tri-elements whip was enhanced with the fireball spell. Once it hit the target, it would not only deal physical damage, but also spell damage.
In the secret room, the dragon and the tiger fought fiercely.
As soon as Xia Pingan’s three elements whip started burning, the temperature of the entire secret room rose rapidly. In an instant, it brightened up, and the entire secret room was filled with a dazzling red light.
The two venomous Boas instantly entangled the two fierce Tigers. The two fierce Tigers then ferociously grabbed the necks of the venomous Boas. As a result, the four fierce beasts immediately rolled into a ball and rolled on the ground of the underground backroom, causing broken stones to fly off the granite wall and shoot everywhere.
Feeling the terrifying power of the Tri-elements whip behind him, the black figure holding the dagger lowered his body and directly jumped under the long whip. He rolled over close to the ground, and a cold light flashed from the bottom to the top. He was already close to Xia Pingan’s body and was ready to cut Xia Pingan’s stomach open and sneer.
The other black figure pointed at Xia Pingan. Under Xia Pingan’s feet, a prison-like light suddenly flashed and was about to trap Xia Pingan.
The moment the light of the spell technique appeared on the ground, Xia Pingan had already jumped up from the soft couch. His body was floating in the air, and at the same time, he pointed at the two shadows.
On the ground of the secret room, two circles of light appeared again, trying to trap the two figures. In this narrow space, both sides were thinking the same thing. As long as they could trap each other for a moment, they would be able to determine the winner.
The three circles of light from the ground-binding spell technique missed at the same time. The two black shadows also jumped up from the ground and flew towards Xia Pingan, fighting with all their might.
At the same time, Xia Pingan noticed that the bodies of the two venomous pythons that had wrapped themselves around the Tiger he had summoned were rapidly expanding like balloons. The black venomous pythons ‘bodies began to emit a dazzling green light, and the two figures that had pounced over also emitted a green light.
The fluctuations of divine power in the entire underground secret room rose sharply at this moment and reached a peak.
A thought flashed through Xia Pingan’s mind, and he cried out in his heart, ” not good.
The long whip flew out once again. However, this time, it didn’t attack others; instead, it wrapped around a lampstand on the rock wall of the secret room 7 – 8 m away. Under the pulling force of the long whip, Xia Pingan’s flying body suddenly moved horizontally in a weird way and broke out of the encirclement of the two figures. He appeared at the entrance of the secret room and wanted to rush out of the secret room.
“BOOM!”
A terrifying explosion occurred in the underground secret room.
At the same time, the two human figures and the two poisonous Boas exploded at the same time, causing dazzling fireballs and flames to expand rapidly in the backroom and devour everything. At the same time, the Boas ‘exploded bodies sprayed Black Venom all over the backroom along with the flames.
Under the impact of the flames and the spraying venom, all the slates, stone ladders, stone tables, stone walls and furnishings in the backroom were corroded and turned black at a stroke before turning into pieces in the flames.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
It only took him 2 – 3 seconds from the moment he drilled out of the wall of the underground backroom to the explosion.
In the courtyard of the Duke building, the moment the underground flames broke out, the ground of the entire Duke building was arched and cracked at once like a volcanic crater. As a result, the Duke building collapsed at once while the cloisters, pavilions and towers on its side were shattered into pieces and building materials, flying everywhere. None of the windows of those houses within 50 m of the Duke building were intact. With a loud bang, they were all shattered into pieces.
The entire Tianyuan bridge was alarmed by this huge movement.
It was already late at night, and the people in the night market of Tianyuan bridge were sparse. The movement under the building of Duke Zhou was no different from dropping a heavy aviation bomb here. People within a radius of ten miles had discovered the changes here.
This was too big a commotion.
At the exit of the underground backroom, the door was broken into pieces by a huge icicle along with the explosion flames. Closely after that, Xia Pingan rushed out of the ground and rushed into the sky while being wrapped by a water shield.
Just as Xia ping ‘an’s figure reached the highest point and was about to land on the ground, a strange man in a black robe appeared under Xia ping’ an’s feet and threw a black object at him.
All of a sudden, the sky within hundreds of meters was filled with bloody flames and lightning bolts, which covered Xia Pingan who had just flown into the air like a bloody umbrella.
The terrifying void God lightning exploded in the sky.
Xia ping ‘an’s body and the water shield that he had used to defend himself were instantly turned into ashes by the divine lightning of the void.
It was wrong!
The strange man wrapped in a black robe also noticed the abnormality at once. Xia ping ‘an was too fragile in the water shield, like a piece of paper.
The water shield was real and it was able to resist the divine lightning of the void. However, the Xia ping ‘an inside the water shield was just a Phantom created by an illusion.
He had been tricked!
Before the freak in black robe evacuated, a brilliant Vermilion Bird had flown out of the flames and dense smoke at the foot of Duke Zhou building. It spread its wings and charged at the Man in Black robe as fast as a lightning bolt like a brilliant sun.
A man in the air couldn’t fly over a Vermilion bird with wings, so the Vermilion Bird and the black-robed man hugged each other in the blink of an eye.
The black-robed man’s body instantly melted under the Vermilion bird’s high temperature, turning into a cloud of smoke with a bang. Then, the smoke also melted, turning into a palm-sized small man with a head and eyes made of dough, falling from the sky.
At the same time, in an alley more than three hundred meters away from the building of great Zhou, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared. He then burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
Xia Pingan’s figure finally jumped out of the blazing fire in the secret underground room of the Duke of Zhou building.
Xia ping ‘an reached out and caught the palm-sized dough that fell from the air. She frowned slightly.
The sounds of the fire alarm and other noises had already gathered outside. A few powerful auras were rapidly approaching.
This is too big of a commotion.
Xia ping ‘an looked at the ruins of the Duke of Zhou building and cursed. Then, his figure slowly faded and disappeared from the place in the blink of an eye.
