The dark red pillar of fire seemed to devour the entire world, and any strange beast that came into contact with the flames would instantly disappear.
As more and more strange beasts poured in, the flames burned even brighter.
The endless heatwave and towering pillars of fire even caused the weather above the battlefield to change dramatically.
Accompanied by surging hot air currents, a fierce and violent aura filled people with fear.
Even from a kilometer or two away on the Tengchong city wall, one could feel the scorching heat that seemed to bake a person dry.
The red and black beam of light exuded endless savagery.
When it rains, it pours!
Ke An felt that even the heavens were not on his side this time. At this moment, the only reinforcements still outside the city were also engulfed by the exploding black flames.
Judging from the way these strange beasts died, like moths to a flame, Lieutenant Wang Zheng from Jingnan is likely doomed.
Regardless of whether the pillar of fire is a natural ability of a strange beast or a sneak attack by a demon king hiding in the shadows.
If Lieutenant Wang Zheng, who is blocking the front line, is defeated, then once the flames are extinguished, the pressure on the main battlefield will be even greater.
Fortunately, the exploding black flames also swept away all the poisonous insects in mid-air, which was the only good news Ke An had received so far.
As for what happens next, even if Tengchong is captured like the other cities, at least he has done his best. At worst, he can just die here and live and die with Tengchong.
Just as Ke An was secretly making up his mind to fight to the last moment, his bodyguard stared at the pillar of fire in the distance and nervously swallowed.
"Commander Ke, has another demon king attacked Lieutenant Wang? Should we..."
He realized his words were inappropriate and stopped talking.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Ke An's eyes, but he ignored the guard's words and continued to carry out the dispatching in an orderly manner.
'What do you want? A rescue mission? You don't need a damn thing.'
Our own forces are already insufficient, and the evacuation of Dongcheng District will take at least several more hours.
If it really was a sneak attack by the Demon King, by the time the Demon King finishes dealing with Lieutenant Wang, everyone on our side will die; it's just a matter of one leaving sooner and the other later.
All I can do now is try my best and leave the rest to fate.
Moreover, even without the demon king's sudden sneak attack, the city's defenses were on the verge of collapse.
All he can do now is stall for time, buy as much time as possible, and evacuate as many civilians as possible...
It's no wonder that Chief of Staff Ke An was so pessimistic, after all, in their eyes, Lieutenant Wang's information had been read countless times the moment his identity was exposed.
Inheriting the physical attributes of the previous generation of gene warriors, coupled with the rare light-attribute healing ability, it can also have a special damage reflection effect when used on oneself.
These are all the strengths that Wang Zheng has demonstrated on paper.
Although Wang Zheng has used visualization objects before, he has always used them as a means of exerting pressure, at most revealing a so-called sonic mental function.
Who would have thought that a healing-type Awakened would have such explosive fire power in his visualizations?
There are no awakened beings like this in the whole world. Everyone else's effects are to enhance their own superpowers. Why can you have both light and fire?
Moreover, with the sudden appearance of the enormous pillar of fire, Wang Zheng's figure was completely enveloped. Ke An tried to contact him more than ten times without any response, and no one could connect the black flames with Wang Zheng.
Meanwhile, Wang Zheng, unaware that Ke An had already sentenced him to death, was testing his new ability.
However, he really did die, and I'm heartbroken.
Because this newly acquired fire ability comes at a cost.
The [Nine Yin Candlelight] works the same way as the previous two, without consuming spiritual energy.
However, it directly reduces the maximum spiritual energy limit...
Yes, that's right, deduct from the maximum limit directly!
If we compare Wang Zheng's spiritual energy to game currency, then this [Nine Yin Candlelight] is a pay-to-win attack!
There is no limit to its attack power and destructive force. As long as there is enough spiritual energy, Wang Zheng estimates that he can even defeat the Demon King.
Aside from the fact that the energy condensation and compression is not quite enough, it is almost indistinguishable from the energy ball 'Tailed Beast Ball' of the Great Beast King.
It really is that 'all or nothing'!
Wang Zheng saw the [Nine Yin Candlelight] icon light up just as his realization progress reached 75%.
He didn't know that the use of this special ability would have a limit. When he thought that the previous [Ferocious and Terrifying] and [Fierce Jade Bone] had no cost, he didn't hesitate to use them at full power.
As a result, Wang Zheng was instantly drained of his life force by the violent explosion.
If it weren't for his 88-point physique, Wang Zheng estimated that he might have been sucked to death.
Then all his spiritual energy formed this massive, towering pillar of fire.
With this single strike, not only were all the strange beasts within a ten-meter radius destroyed by the flames, but even most of the countless poisonous insects in mid-air were burned.
Now he only has a few scattered strange beasts around him, which have lost their original size.
