Chen Zhou's Rootless Fire was naturally formidable. For example, right now, Zhuo Miaoyan's battle armor had already been ignited by Chen Zhou's Rootless Fire, and at this moment, Zhuo Miaoyan's battle armor had begun to melt! If you looked closely, you could see drops of molten iron slag dripping down.
The combat armor was already one of the more expensive pieces in the Shanghai shops, even more expensive than the combat armor worn by Chen Zhou and the rest of the ninth-level army. But now it had been melted by Chen Zhou's flames.
This was the first time Zhuo Miaoyan had encountered such a situation.
Although Zhuo Miaoyan had encountered many powerful individuals, their strength was limited to cutting through or piercing her armor. This was the first time she had ever seen someone melt her armor with flames.
Gradually, she discovered a principle: the flames did not spread.
Because his battle armor was not ignited, the parts of his body that were not on fire were not exposed to the flames; only the parts of his armor where Chen Zhou had left the flames were still burning.
Moreover, no matter what method he used, the flames could not be extinguished.
By this time, some nimble ninth-level soldiers had already arrived with buckets of water and were washing the burning areas on Zhuo Miaoyan's body, but to no avail. The flames were incredibly difficult to extinguish!
"Chief, this water won't help..." The soldier on the ninth floor stared blankly at the flames burning on Zhuo Miaoyan's body. This was completely beyond his comprehension. There were already many buckets of water, but the flames showed no sign of weakening.
"Get back! Don't let this fire spread!" Zhuo Miaoyan shouted as she saw the ninth-level soldiers surrounding her. Her battle armor wouldn't catch fire because of its excellent quality. However, the other ninth-level soldiers' battle armor was different; some parts were still made of cloth.
So it could very well be the trigger.
The flames were already causing her great discomfort, and she had no way to control them, let alone her subordinates. That's why Zhuo Miaoyan immediately shouted for them to step back.
So everyone retreated, and at that moment the battle miraculously stopped. The soldiers of the nine-layered army all let their hands hang down, their weapons touching the ground.
The members of the Advanced Alliance were still unaware of what had happened, and why the battle had stopped.
"Everyone, put down your weapons! We are no match for these people!" Zhuo Miaoyan shouted again. Only after she said this did everyone actually put down their weapons. Some members of the Advanced Alliance wanted to press their advantage, but they were stopped by the middle-aged merchant's gesture.
Seeing that everyone had stopped fighting, Zhuo Miaoyan, who was lying on the ground, took off her combat armor and threw it aside. This immediately attracted the attention of the men in the Advanced Alliance. There were no women on the tenth floor, which meant that some of the men in the Advanced Alliance had not seen a woman for more than ten years.
Upon seeing Zhuo Miaoyan's graceful figure, he couldn't take his eyes off her and stared intently at her.
After removing her battle armor, Zhuo Miaoyan's alluring figure was truly revealed, making it difficult for anyone to look away. She tossed the burning armor aside and walked directly towards someone.
Everyone turned their attention to the man; some looked on with envy, while others were filled with jealousy.
Without a doubt, Zhuo Miaoyan lost to Chen Zhou, and lost utterly.
If the battle had continued, Chen Zhou would undoubtedly have won. Zhuo Miaoyan's greatest defense was her battle armor. However, since the armor was ignited by Chen Zhou's rootless fire, she couldn't wear it indefinitely. She would have to discard it, leaving her without any protective armor.
Furthermore, given the situation just now, she couldn't use her Black Angel technique, which would greatly reduce her speed, making it impossible for her to catch up with Chen Zhou, who possessed the Xingyi Cloud Sword Movement Technique. If she couldn't catch up with Chen Zhou, she would certainly be no match for him.
Moreover, Chen Zhou's flames are not limited to this one use; there will be a second and a third.
"We lost. But we didn't lose to your so-called alliance. We only lost to you alone." Zhuo Miaoyan walked up to Chen Zhou, stared quietly into his eyes, and slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou nodded silently and said, "Okay."
Buzz!
Everyone was shocked. Their entire army, spanning nine levels, had been defeated by a single person! They had initially thought their leader was feigning injury and was deliberately making things up, but it seemed the battle was truly over! They hadn't lost to this so-called alliance from the lower ten levels, but to a single individual within that alliance. This one person had utterly crushed their entire nine-level army.
"If I'm not mistaken, you can keep releasing that kind of flame indefinitely, right?" Zhuo Miaoyan asked curiously.
Chen Zhou nodded slightly and said, "That's true."
Chen Zhou's original plan was to first use the Rootless Fire to restrain the leader, and then immediately use the speed and agility of the Xingyi Cloud Sword to rush into the ranks of the nine-layered army and ignite the flames, making them no match for them. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Miaoyan chose to surrender directly.
Zhuo Miaoyan's surrender means that the entire ninth-level army has conceded defeat. The advanced alliance has won this battle, which means that they can live in this ninth level.
