Chapter 638 Purification
The roars and the sounds of swords clashing echoed in the cave, deafening.
Flames shot up into the sky, thunder roared, and two huge figures were fighting in the narrow space, like two mad beasts.
The Vermillion Bird was surrounded by blazing flames, and every time it flapped its wings, it stirred up a rolling heat wave, burning the walls of the cave.
She soared into the air, her eyes as sharp as torches, locking onto the demon in front of her.
The sharp claws flashed coldly in the firelight, ready to tear the enemy's throat at any time.
Li Muhan, transformed into a demon, moved like a ghost, and every time his figure flashed, it brought with it a hint of golden lightning.
He dodged Suzaku's attacks while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Thunder gathered at the tip of his sword, transforming into streaks of lightning that rivaled Suzaku's flames.
"Hahaha, not bad, kid!"
The giant flaming bird laughed loudly, its voice piercing and shrill: "But you are still too naive!"
Before she finished her words, she suddenly dived down, folded her wings, and turned into a fiery red meteor, rushing straight towards Li Muhan.
The demon's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously drew his knife to block.
However, it was too late, Suzaku's sharp claws had already torn his shoulder, and blood splattered.
A severe pain came over him, Li Muhan groaned and staggered backward.
There was a burning sensation at the wound, as if magma was flowing in the blood vessels.
He clenched his teeth, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Red Dragon Purgatory!"
The next second, a dragon's roar echoed through the cave. Pitch-black mist surged around Li Muhan, gradually condensing into a colossal mass.
Golden eyes opened in the darkness, and the dark scales glowed with a cold light.
The power of Lucifer was completely released.
A giant red dragon stood in the cave, its head almost touching the top of the rock. At this moment, the entire cave expanded again, making room for the two giant beasts.
It raised its huge dragon head and spewed out billowing black flames from its mouth, competing with the flames of the Vermillion Bird.
The giant bird flapped its wings and screamed, its tone revealing a wild and unrestrained tone.
"Yes! Yes! That's more interesting! That's what makes me happy! Hahahahaha!"
Before he finished speaking, the giant bird rolled up its body, creating a huge wave of flames. It flexibly shuttled through the narrow space and attacked the dragon's weaknesses.
The flames left burning marks on the scales, and the heat waves caused by the flapping wings burned the dragon's eyes.
The black flames of the giant dragon also rose up at this moment, competing with the flames of the Vermillion Bird.
At the moment when the two forces collided, the dragon roared angrily and opened its bloody mouth, trying to swallow Suzaku in one gulp.
However, Suzaku's speed was too fast, and he always managed to avoid the fatal blow at the critical moment.
"You stupid dragon, is all you can do with brute force?" Suzaku taunted, his eyes flashing with disdain.
"Ridiculous God!!! Don't let me catch you!!!"
Because of the power of the Son of Dawn, Li Muhan was also extremely angry at this moment.
It suddenly raised its head, and black flames gushed out of its mouth, instantly engulfing Suzaku's figure.
The firelight illuminated every corner.
However, the next second, the flames suddenly went out.
Suzaku's figure reappeared, without even a hair being hurt.
She snorted dismissively, circling gracefully in the air.
"That's all you can do? Fallen angel? Satan?"
The giant dragon roared, flapped its wings suddenly, and pounced towards Suzaku.
It opened its huge mouth, bit Suzaku's neck with its sharp teeth, and folded its wings, actually suppressing Suzaku in mid-air.
At this moment, Suzaku suddenly let out a sharp cry.
She flapped her wings violently and managed to break free from the dragon's grip.
Then she rolled over, grabbed the dragon's back with her claws, and smashed it to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and the entire cave was shaking.
The dragon let out a wail and fell to the ground, creating a big crater.
The Vermilion Bird landed on it and stood proudly.
“It’s so sad.”
Suzaku sneered and landed gracefully beside the dragon.
She extended her claws and gently stroked the dragon's scales, her movements gentle as if caressing a beloved toy.
"Fallen, rotten, scarred demon. Your soul is already broken, yet you still dare to become my enemy?"
She leaned down and whispered in the dragon's ear, her voice soft yet dangerous, "You are an interesting plaything, though. Play with me for a while longer, before you break completely."
Just as he finished speaking, a silver light suddenly streaked across the sky and fell towards Suzaku like a meteor.
The arrow was sharp and aimed straight at the throat.
Zhuque's pupils shrank and he subconsciously spread his wings, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
The bright moonlight enveloped the dragon, soothing the wounds on its body.
The flesh under the scales healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken bones snapped and pieced themselves back together.
In a flash, the dragon recovered most of its strength and roared again with its head raised.
Zhuque's eyes focused and he looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
Xia Yue was seen holding a bow in one hand, like a goddess statue under the moon.
There was a hint of determination between her brows, and her cold gaze was fixed on Suzaku, as if to pierce through her soul as well.
But this arrow is the only support Xia Yue can provide at the moment.
As soon as she shot the arrow, she was slapped away by Hati's claws.
The girl's body hit the wall of the cave heavily, making a dull sound.
Blood oozed from the corner of his forehead and flowed down his pale cheek.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood foam and slowly got up from the ground, her eyes becoming more determined.
Only now did Xia Yue understand that Hati's power was very abnormal.
Even if she was a Norse god, she shouldn't have such exaggerated power. Hati had never shown this kind of power when fighting with him before.
It's almost like...
Ragnarok.
"I don't care...what you become, I will restore you to your original form, stupid wolf."
Xia Yue slowly got up from the ground. The girl and the dragon were once again surrounded by two giant beasts, but their gazes remained firm.
Hati's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face twisted into a hideous expression.
She let out a sharp howl and pounced on Xia Yue again.
The sharp claws left a trail in the air, carrying a biting chill as they came towards him.
Xia Yue raised her hand and conjured up countless moonlight spears at her side. Then she waved her hand again, and the spears all rushed towards the giant wolf.
But Hati's movements were so swift that none of the spears could actually hurt her body.
At this moment, Suzaku also flapped its wings again, ready to give the dragon the final blow.
The dragon suddenly changed its form. It opened the realm of Baphomet, and then held the spear "Repulsion" in one hand and the revolver "Qianshu" transformed from a black bracelet in the other hand.
"Xia...Yue."
The Soul-Eating Arbitrator's deep voice came from Xia Yue's ears.
Xia Yue turned and looked at Li Muhan.
"What's wrong? Why did you turn into a mummy......"
This was the first time Xia Yue saw Li Muhan in this form, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
But Li Muhan didn't have time to say too much to her.
"...Inject your scarlet power and moonlight power into my gun, quickly..."
Although Xia Yue didn't know what Li Muhan was going to do, she believed in this man unconditionally.
She raised her hands and grasped the barrels of Li Muhan's two guns. The scarlet and the bright white intertwined, transforming into a dazzling light that penetrated into the gun bodies of Repulsion and Thousand Redemption.
The two artifacts vibrated in the light, emitting a low humming sound, as if they had gained life.
At this time, Suzaku and Hati's attacks also came one after another.
At this moment, Li Muhan opened his arms, pointed his gun at Zhuque and his revolver at Hati.
"It's noon... already."
The two bullets drew graceful arcs in the air, carrying scarlet and white light, like comets streaking across the sky.
They hit Suzaku and Hati with great precision, sending dazzling flames bursting out from the bodies of the two giant beasts.
In an instant, a strange force spread in the cave.
The scarlet and bright white light intertwined and penetrated into the bodies of Suzaku and Hati, like two nimble fish swimming in their blood.
The two giant beasts let out a low roar, and their bodies were shrouded in a soft halo. Their originally ferocious faces gradually relaxed, and the hostility and madness in their eyes completely faded away, replaced by a long-lost clarity and tranquility.
"This is..." Suzaku looked down at his own claws, his eyes full of disbelief, "I just..."
Hati, who had regained her human form, looked at her naked body in surprise. The bright white light flowed over her body like a pouring galaxy.
She took a deep breath and felt that every pore in her body was cheering and an unprecedented power was surging in her body.
"...a power I've never felt before."
Hati slowly closed his eyes, then turned to look at Xia Yue and Li Muhan.
Li Muhan quickly turned his head away and didn't dare to look at him any more.
Hati smiled at Xia Yue: "It's your power... Little Moon, I knew it, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were the moon..."
"That's so corny, you exhibitionist! Don't say those things when you're naked!"
Xia Yue took off her coat with a red face and threw it to Hati.
"Haha..." Suzaku also walked over a little embarrassedly.
"It seems that we were all controlled just now?"
Xia Yue glanced at Suzaku: "I think this actually fits your personality quite well. Didn't you chase me and beat me like this more than ten years ago?"
"Hey, back then... I didn't recognize you, and your aura was strange, ahem! So, now that we've recovered, does that mean we've passed the trial?"
Just as Zhuque finished speaking, the cave suddenly returned to its original size, and then a passage suddenly flashed with fire.
A few people looked carefully and found that the torches on both sides of the passage had been lit at this moment, as if guiding their way forward.
"Do you want to take a break?"
Li Muhan asked.
All three shook their heads.
Zhuque said with a smile: "Let's end this as soon as possible. If we continue to stay here, I really don't know what Yuan will do next."
A few people agreed and began to walk towards the direction of the passage.
However, Li Muhan, who was walking at the end, couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when looking at Xia Yue's back.
The power of scarlet and moonlight can free people from the constraints of the abyss.
And Suzaku said that only forces or creatures that do not belong to this world are not restricted by the laws.
At the same time, Yuan also noticed this, and was looking at Li Muhan's thoughtful expression: "You are getting closer to the truth..."
