A combination of raging hot air, ordinary hot air and frenzied hot air... Qiao Sang looked at the arena filled with dark red hot air in front of him, his expression unchanged.
She was no stranger to this combination technique; in previous video materials about Xia Huo, she had the Six-Winged Firebird use this move many times.
The Raging Heatwave can bring the temperature of the entire field to an extremely high level, making the air as flammable as gasoline. While enhancing the power of fire-type attack skills, it can also make opponents in the Raging Heatwave become frantic and impatient due to the turbulent atmosphere in the air. It is a combination skill that achieves multiple benefits.
However, based on Xia Huo's past combat habits, this move is usually used in the mid-to-late game. But the match has only just begun, and the Six-Winged Firebird has already used it. It seems that she sees her opponent as Little Treasure Hunter and is preparing to use a powerful attack skill to "take them both down"...
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said loudly:
"one."
Upon hearing this, Xia Huo was stunned for a moment.
However, the next second, the small black shadow of the Netherworld Lord appeared behind the six-winged firebird's main body.
Xia Huo didn't have time to think and immediately said, "Behind the formation."
"Six wings!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the six-winged firebird let out a roar.
Immediately afterwards, the air trembled, and all of the six-winged firebird's clones disappeared. Countless points of fire appeared around the main body, and a magnificent crimson fire array suddenly appeared behind it.
The crimson fire array was enormous, as if it were formed from countless solidified flames, and the surrounding air was distorted due to the high temperature.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Underworld widened its eyes. It seemed frightened, but also seemed to be affected by the frenzied factors in the hot wind, and did not choose to calmly leave immediately.
"Flame Refining Array, a fire-type super-tier skill. After casting Flame Refining Array, destructive flames will be unleashed from it to attack the target, and it will continue for a period of time. Each time the flames are unleashed, they become more powerful than the last..." Information about the skill before her flashed through Qiao Sang's mind. Then, as if realizing something, she exclaimed in panic:
Get out of the way!
"It's too late." Xia Huo's lips curled into a smile.
"boom!!!"
Like a volcanic eruption, a thick pillar of fire, brimming with destructive power, suddenly shot out from the crimson fire array, striking the Netherworld Lord who had no time to dodge.
In the audience, everyone held their breath, staring intently at the scene.
Seeing that the figure of the Underworld Lord was completely engulfed by the pillars of fire erupting from the fire array, discussions immediately arose:
"How could the Lord of the Underworld not be able to avoid it?"
"Xia Huo's eyes are really sharp. The Underworld Lord is so dark and so small, I didn't notice him at all when he first appeared."
"Josang's reaction is slower than in the previous two rounds. Is it because he had a bye in the last round and hasn't played for too long?"
"I thought that even if the Underworld Lord didn't encounter Huo Xixing, he would at least take away Xia Huo's two pets. I didn't expect that he would be able to trigger the mutual destruction and life-borrowing abilities in the first round."
"Mutual destruction can be triggered, but the life-borrowing is still based on probability; it's not guaranteed to be triggered 100% of the time."
"I think the Lord of the Underworld reacts very quickly. When the Six-Winged Firebird still had so many clones, it was the Lord of the Underworld who appeared precisely behind the main body."
"What's the use of finding the main body if we haven't even managed to attack it, and we've only been attacked instead?"
Was the first instruction Josan gave one?
"Yes, she should learn from Li Muxin."
"Learning this is useless, it feels like she'd be better off sticking to her old match patterns... Holy crap!"
The discussion abruptly ceased.
The faces of the crowd showed surprise, astonishment, and excitement.
On the field, the pillar of fire, filled with destructive energy, did not disappear after engulfing the Lord of the Underworld, but continued to traverse the field.
A massive, abyssal black hole appeared out of nowhere in the direction it traversed.
The pillars of fire, brimming with destructive energy, were completely engulfed within.
At the same time, a black hole of the same size appeared below the six-winged firebird.
Xia Huo's pupils constricted sharply as he realized something was wrong, and he shouted, "Go!"
Even without its own beast tamer's command, the six-winged firebird had already sensed the danger and flapped its wings, trying to move.
But the moment it flapped its wings, it seemed to be controlled by some force and couldn't move at all.
"We're being controlled..." Xia Huo's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Dismount!"
Since there's no shadow now, it can only be controlled by telekinesis. Given that its mental strength is inferior to that of the Underworld Lord, the Six-Winged Firebird absolutely cannot break free from control immediately.
Since we can't break free, we can only attack to defend against the attack!
As she spoke, her eyes quickly scanned the entire area.
At the same time, sparks of fire lit up around the six-winged firebird once again.
A giant fire array, seemingly materialized from flames, lit up beneath it.
"boom!!!"
Before Xia Huo could pinpoint the location of the Underworld Lord, or for the fire pillars to erupt from the fire array, a pillar of fire filled with destructive energy shot out from the abyss black hole, striking the six-winged firebird.
"Six wings!!!"
The six-winged firebird let out a mournful cry.
"Looking around~"
High in the sky, the blue light in Little Treasure Hunter's eyes disappeared, and he grinned, revealing two rows of exceptionally white teeth.
"The Six-Winged Firebird's attack with the Flame Array was redirected by the Shadow Penetration of the Netherworld Lord, and all the attacks landed on the Six-Winged Firebird!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys' eyes lit up as she shouted into the microphone.
"The flames that erupted from the Flame Array earlier didn't hit the Netherworld Lord!" Auror exclaimed excitedly. "They attacked the Netherworld Lord's clone!"
“It seems that Josan had prepared in advance to redirect the attack of the Six-Winged Firebird,” Nefertis remarked. “That’s why her command was ‘one.’ Such numerical commands must be communicated with the pet before the match so that the pet can accurately understand the meaning during the match. This command ‘one’ seems to mean that the Underworld Lord should use a substitute to launch a feint attack, while in reality, the main body should redirect the attack of the Six-Winged Firebird from behind.”
“That’s right.” Auror also remarked, “Afterwards, Jossan pretended to be panicked and made the Dark Lord’s substitute dodge. I believe his expression at the time fooled many people and their pets.”
He paused, then added, "With the support of the raging hot wind, the attack of the Flame Array has been greatly enhanced. Even a six-winged firebird, which is resistant to fire-type skills, probably couldn't withstand such a powerful attack."
"I think that Josan also saw this point, which is why he deliberately slowed down the pace of his attack, allowing the Six-Winged Firebird to successfully execute this move."
Nephthys, remembering that the guest hadn't spoken, took the initiative to ask, "What does Yin Zhongsi think of the performance of the Underworld Ring Monarch just now? I remember you were very optimistic about it from the beginning."
"The Yin Bell..."
Yin Zhongsi looked up at the tiny treasure hunter, who resembled a black dot, and exclaimed, indicating that the Underworld Ring Lord was indeed tiny and dark; it had taken it a long time to find it...
On the field.
He'd been tricked... Xia Huo gritted his teeth inwardly, quickly regained his composure, and issued the command: "Attack!"
The Flame Refining Array that had been cast earlier had not disappeared.
The six-winged firebird plummeted downwards, but just before hitting the ground, it flapped its wings forcefully, managing to regain its balance and fly back into the air.
At the same time, a pillar of fire filled with destructive energy erupted from the Flame Refining Array, shooting towards the direction where Little Treasure Hunter was located.
This pillar of fire was thicker and more powerful than the previous one.
Qiao Sang was not surprised at all.
The six-winged firebird itself has a certain resistance to fire-type moves. Based on the judgment of previous competition videos, it should have a B-rank Ignite. It cannot completely resist the enhanced version of the fire-type super-level move, but it can resist some of it without any problem.
The Flame Refining Array is not a one-time attack skill. As long as the pet that casts the skill is not completely defeated, it will continue for a period of time, continuously spewing out pillars of fire with increasing power.
High in the sky, Little Treasure Hunter did not try to dodge.
It channeled its energy, and a deep black hole instantly appeared in front of it.
"Divide it," Xia Huo said quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless six-winged firebirds appeared on the entire field.
The abyss black hole appeared above the original location of the six-winged firebird.
"boom!!!"
A destructive pillar of fire shot straight down from the center, incinerating all the six-winged firebirds in its path below.
The location of the main body has changed... Qiao Sang said:
"three."
Upon hearing the command, Xia Huo took a deep breath and instinctively became more alert.
Little Treasure Hunter disappeared into the air.
The instant it disappeared, the Flame Array once again unleashed a pillar of fire with even greater destructive power in the direction it had been.
The pillar of fire shot straight into the sky but did not hit anything.
The little treasure hunter is no longer in its original location.
It wasn't invisibility... Xia Huo quickly scanned the entire area, and when she didn't immediately spot Little Treasure Hunter, she couldn't help but curse inwardly:
Damn it! With the color and size of the Underworld Lord, he has a huge advantage in the nighttime competition!
"Heat it up!" Xia Huo commanded.
It's easy to force out the elusive Ghost-type pet. Just keep unleashing a raging hot wind on the field. The temperature and the frenzied energy it contains will force the Dark Ring Monarch to lose its stealth.
It's a pity this is an outdoor competition. If it were an indoor competition, the Lord of the Underworld wouldn't be able to respond so calmly.
On the field, all the remaining six-winged firebirds flapped their wings simultaneously.
Just as it flapped its wings, a Netherworld Lord, whose body was about sixty meters long, appeared out of thin air.
All the six-winged firebirds looked over, and one of them suddenly flapped its wings faster.
However, Xia Huo's expression changed slightly at this moment, and he shouted, "Don't look!"
The eyes of the Dark Ring Lord are golden, but the eyes of this giant Dark Ring Lord are purple; it is casting a spell!
Unfortunately, the command was issued too late.
The six-winged firebirds continued to follow the previous instructions, flapping their wings and sending waves of dark red hot air sweeping across the entire area.
However, for some unknown reason, the six-winged firebirds disappeared one after another, leaving only one of them with its eyelids drooping down, looking sleepy.
"The Dark Shadow of the Lord of the Underworld has cast a hypnotic spell!" Nefertis announced from the commentary booth.
"It's clearly only a mid-level skill, but the effect seems quite good," Auror remarked.
"The Yin Bell".
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi nodded in agreement and barked twice, indicating that Qiao Sang was smart and knew that the Underworld Lord was too small. Even if he appeared in front of the Six-Winged Firebird, the Six-Winged Firebird might not be able to see his eyes immediately. Therefore, he specially used Dark Shadow and then hypnosis so that the Six-Winged Firebird would notice his eyes.
On the field, the six-winged firebird was drowsy, struggling to stay awake.
Within the Array of Refining Flames, thick pillars of fire, brimming with destructive power, spewed outwards.
With the control of the six-winged firebird, the flames in the Flame Refining Array can attack the target. However, if the six-winged firebird is not in control, the flames in the Flame Refining Array will only spray randomly without a target.
“Xunxun…” Little Xunbao appeared on the head of the giant Netherworld Lord.
Instead of grinning, it looked rather agitated, clearly affected by the raging hot wind.
Qiao Sang glanced at the six-winged firebird that was not controlling the Flame Refining Array and said, "Four."
As soon as the words were spoken, thick white light condensed on the heads of the giant Netherworld Lord and Little Treasure Hunter, and they rushed straight towards the location of the six-winged firebird.
In the audience, watching this scene, people began to discuss it amongst themselves:
"Wouldn't it be better to use Shadow Penetration to deflect the attack of the Flame Array in this situation? The Flame Array's attack power is obviously stronger."
"Perhaps the six-winged firebird has the property of igniting fire. I think it would be more effective to let the Dark Ring Monarch's own attack skills hit it."
"The fire-igniting properties of the six-winged firebird are not that strong. It almost fell to the ground under the first attack of the Flame Refining Array. Now it has been several rounds. The six-winged firebird definitely cannot withstand it."
"Do you know more than Qiao Sang? If you're so capable, go up and compete with her."
"..."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the giant Netherworld Lord and the little treasure hunter's heads, glowing with thick white light, charged straight toward the six-winged firebird.
Just as he was about to attack the six-winged firebird, Xia Huo smirked and shouted:
"attack!"
"Six wings!"
The drowsiness on the six-winged firebird's face suddenly disappeared. With a loud cry, it spread its huge wings and tightly embraced the two attacking figures.
"Bang!"
The powerful impact caused the six-winged firebird to plummet to the ground, creating a huge crater.
"Six wings!"
The heavy blows did not cause the six-winged firebird to loosen its wings. It gritted its teeth, revealing a crazed expression, and instead strained its wings even more.
At the same time, an incredibly solid spherical barrier of flame condensed around it.
Within the barrier, the figure of the giant Nether Ring Monarch vanished, leaving only the Nether Ring Monarch within.
Everyone: "!!!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure Seeker seemed to realize something, his eyes widened, and he tried to move, but he was held tightly by the six-winged firebird and could not move at all.
"Let's perish together!" Xia Huo laughed loudly.
As she finished speaking, the Flame Refining Array in the air spun rapidly, emitting an extremely dazzling light.
The air vibrated violently as a terrifying pillar of fire, brimming with destructive energy, plummeted from the fire array, as magnificent and dreadful as a volcanic eruption.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled. (End of Chapter)
