Chapter 80: The Struggle
15 min read3,651 wordsMature
The building was not tall, only three stories high. The second and third floors, having been hit and scorched by the flame monster, were already in ruins, with the roof exposed to the sky.
The last floor collapsed with a loud crash. Although Chu Yunsheng avoided being buried, he was now directly exposed to the flame monster's attacks.
Chu Yunsheng released a burst of primordial energy upward. Under the counterforce, he fell straight down. As he landed, he grabbed a person struggling to crawl out from the debris and threw them at the flame monster behind him.
The flame monster spread its wings, which were at least five meters long, resembling a giant bird on fire.
Chu Yunsheng had faced this monster many times but had never seen its true form, only the ghostly head, body, and fiery wings created by the flames.
Its flight speed was extremely fast. Even with Chu Yunsheng's speed, he could not escape its pursuit without the help of the fog wall.
Professor Sun had once joked that the monster loved to eat meat worms, and calling it a "flame phantom bird" might be more accurate.
Now, Chu Yunsheng had neither the time nor the patience to deal with the group of emaciated old men. Without any hesitation, he fled!
He dodged the people who had just crawled out of the rubble. To slow down the flame phantom bird as much as possible, he consecutively grabbed two people and threw them into the air behind him!
The flame phantom bird swooped down on the collapsed building, mercilessly slaughtering the survivors. The broken floor slabs were burned and melted one by one, and no one hiding beneath them escaped!
Chu Yunsheng could hear their agonized screams as they died, but he saw no one escape alive. His heart tightened, and he ran for his life toward the west.
The giant creatures on either side rapidly receded in his vision, and his labored breathing seemed to be the only sound in the world!
However, after just over two minutes, he knew he couldn't escape!
Because he was directly hit by a flame from the flame phantom bird's wings, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, rolling a considerable distance.
It had finally caught up!
Another preference of the flame phantom bird was to absorb the primordial energy of other creatures. Perhaps in its eyes, Chu Yunsheng was more nutritious, so it pursued him relentlessly.
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng reacted quickly. The many life-and-death crises he had faced had given him a semblance of calm.
The Qianbi Sword vibrated in the air, and the sword skill "Qianjun Bieyi" was immediately unleashed. Six sword shadows emerged, piercing through space to attack the oncoming flame phantom bird!
Chu Yunsheng decided not to run anymore. He couldn't escape before, and now it was even less possible. Instead of being chased to exhaustion, he would fight to the death.
The six sword shadows only slightly delayed the flame phantom bird, giving Chu Yunsheng time to retrieve the Ice Collapse talisman and launch an ice attack!
When the flame phantom bird shattered the six sword shadows and attacked again, Chu Yunsheng, despite being hit by a flame ball, threw the Ice Collapse talisman into the air, instantly forming a ten-meter-high ice block that enveloped the screaming flame phantom bird and crashed to the ground.
Immediately, a loud explosion occurred, the force of the "Bing" splitting apart.
If there were heavy military weapons available, they could have been used in conjunction with Chu Yunsheng's continuous Ice Collapse attacks to potentially kill the flame phantom bird!
Unfortunately, Colonel Du had fled.
Now, Chu Yunsheng could only rely on himself. After the "Bing," he immediately used the sword skill "Qianjun Bieyi" again to attack the flame phantom bird.
The six sword shadows once again entangled the flame phantom bird. Chu Yunsheng already had the second Ice Collapse talisman in hand. His only option was to try to use the remaining four Ice Collapse talismans in succession, combined with the sword skill, to severely injure it!
The flame phantom bird became angry. This was probably the first time it had faced such fierce resistance since entering Earth. The raging flames tore through the last sword shadow, creating a shower of flame flowers as it screeched and charged forward, its wings continuously launching several large flame balls that sent Chu Yunsheng flying with his sword.
Fortunately, he had the protection of his battle armor and the Liujia talisman. Although the heat almost made his throat smoke, he managed to stand up!
Chu Yunsheng immediately activated the second Ice Collapse talisman and launched another ice attack!
After two sword skills and two Ice Collapse attacks, when Chu Yunsheng used the sword skill for the third time, creating six sword shadows, the flame phantom bird could no longer easily deal with them. It was actually forced to retreat a step!
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng's spirits soared. He took the opportunity to throw the third Ice Collapse talisman, the characters appearing rapidly, the law taking effect, and a massive ice block forming in the air. The "Bing" force then exploded, and the flame phantom bird seemed to emit a mournful cry!
After the ice fragments hit the ground, Chu Yunsheng saw the flame phantom bird struggle to take flight again!
Chu Yunsheng spat out a mouthful of blood, brandished the Qianbi Sword, and, as the flame phantom bird launched more flames, used the sword skill "Qianjun Bieyi" for the fourth time!
This time, Chu Yunsheng was directly hit by a burning flame ball and thrown into a car, the blue flames finally igniting his battle armor in several places!
If not for the extremely strong protection of the battle armor and the Liujia talisman, Chu Yunsheng would have been burned to ashes by the flame phantom bird's flame balls. He had personally saved an ice energy warrior who was melted into a pool of flesh and blood by two consecutive flame balls!
But now, even the battle armor seemed to be failing!
The Liujia talisman was on the verge of collapse due to the intense fire energy.
Blood seeped from between Chu Yunsheng's teeth. The fire energy on his body could not be extinguished by ordinary means. He gritted his teeth, ignoring the burning, and, stepping on the burning car hood, retrieved the last Ice Collapse talisman. If this didn't severely injure it, Chu Yunsheng would have to accept his fate!
The situation of the flame phantom bird was only slightly better than Chu Yunsheng's. Each of the six sword shadows carried the red-eyed monster's energy-sucking fog, and each strike took away part of its energy. For a flame phantom bird composed entirely of fire energy, this was a significant injury!
Chu Yunsheng launched the Ice Collapse talisman for the last time before the flame phantom bird could clear the sword shadows!
Boom!... Bang!
After the "Bing" force exploded, the flame phantom bird staggered and fell to the ground. Chu Yunsheng's primordial energy was almost completely depleted, and he could no longer use the sword skill or even shoot an ice arrow. He couldn't stop to absorb energy with a primordial energy talisman, as the flame phantom bird could fly back into the air and regain control at any moment!
Chu Yunsheng steeled his resolve and, sword in hand, charged at the flame phantom bird, striking it repeatedly with heavy blows.
The Qianbi Sword sizzled from the intense heat inside the flame phantom bird, almost making it impossible for Chu Yunsheng to hold it!
The blue patterns on the sword blade, like vampires encountering blood, emitted a brilliant blue light, devouring the monster's fire energy!
Just as Chu Yunsheng thought he had subdued or severely injured it, the flame phantom bird suddenly spread its wings and screeched, flying into the air. The heat wave it generated sent Chu Yunsheng tumbling back to the car.
Chu Yunsheng's heart sank. He was already too weak to fight!
However, he would not give up even in the face of death. He still had one last weapon, a beast-sealing talisman, which he had prepared to use after severely injuring the flame phantom bird to hold it in place.
The meat worm, after being sealed by the beast-sealing talisman and nourished by Chu Yunsheng's primordial energy for over an hour, was not a match for the flame phantom bird. Its combat ability after just one hour of recovery was pitiful. Therefore, he decided to first severely injure the flame phantom bird and then release the meat worm to use its unique suction to hold the flame phantom bird, giving him time to escape!
At this moment, he was unsure whether he had severely injured the flame phantom bird, but the situation was critical, and he had no choice but to use the beast-sealing talisman.
The talisman shot into the air, the characters appearing, and the law taking effect. A white, fleshy worm grew from the talisman and landed on the ground.
The meat worm, upon receiving Chu Yunsheng's command, immediately opened its two large mouths, and a powerful suction force pulled the flame phantom bird from the air!
