"Hmph, don't think I can't see your sneaky little tricks."
Han Qing mocked with a cat-and-mouse-like satisfaction:
"Trying to run away with Li Yu? Did you ask me first?"
As a spatial awakener, Han Qing had long noticed the spatial fluctuations on Bai Ya's body, so how could he just stand by and watch Li Yu, who was doomed, escape from the encirclement?
So they secretly set up a similar obstruction barrier to hinder him, determined to keep Li Yu here forever today! To eliminate this major threat!
The white crow, whose star formation was interrupted, turned ashen-faced, and Han Qing blocked its last means of escape.
Before he could react, a surge of energy fire rushed towards him.
"not good!"
Xiao Zhan realized that they had no way out and could only fight with their backs against the wall!
"Freeze!!"
With a low roar, Xiao Zhan slammed the ice spear in his hand into the ground.
All the surrounding accumulated water and rainwater rushed in at the same time.
As a biting chill burst forth from the ice spear, a semi-circular ice sculpture fortress instantly solidified, trapping him, Bai Ya, and all the refugees!
Xiao Zhan was very clear that although they were not the main target of the steel-cast attack, the ice fortress would not be able to withstand such a massive energy tide for long.
Bai Ya hurriedly condensed another small star array, but looked troubled. This was only enough to move Xiao Zhan and Li Yu a short distance. Given the speed of those steel-cast flying creatures, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.
But it's better than being trapped here!
Bai Ya couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhan, who was rapidly thinking of a solution, but the image of Li Yu from just now suddenly flashed through his mind.
Faced with the overwhelming tide of energy, Li Yu remained completely unmoved, not even flinching.
It was a kind of composure that suggested almost complete control.
Li Yu's calm demeanor inexplicably eased Xiao Zhan's anxiety somewhat.
"Yes, from beginning to end, facing this desperate situation of being surrounded by steel, Li Yu never showed the slightest sign of panic."
Xiao Zhan then realized that since he met Li Yu, he had never even seen Li Yu display her true full strength.
Perhaps... Li Yu really can create a miracle and completely crush this seemingly invincible torrent of steel!
Outside the ice fortress, a surging tide of energy had already rushed up to Li Yu, and the aura of death was so thick that it was suffocating!
At this very last moment—
Li Yu made a move.
With a flick of his wrist, he drew the Phoenix Bow to its full extent.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two crimson arrows shot out in an arc, one to the left and one to the right, hurtling towards the terrifying tide that was capable of annihilating everything.
The crimson wake left two solid, unbroken arcs in its wake, which collided violently a hundred meters away at a speed beyond comprehension!
"Zheng—!"
A clear, sharp sound pierced through the roar of the energy tide!
The point where the two arrows collided seemed to become a singularity of creation!
The crimson light exploded like a supernova, spreading wildly along the trajectory it had left behind!
Two towering, gigantic walls of fire, like open, blazing eyes, suddenly surged and soared into the sky!
A bizarre scene unfolded: the surrounding space seemed to stretch, and the energy tide was about to hit Li Yu, but the distance between them only grew further and further apart.
The blazing flames roared and surged, forming two perfect arcs that forcefully positioned themselves between Tide and Li Yu.
It not only protected Li Yu and Xiao Zhan's ice fortress, but also completely isolated all the steel castings and the destructive energy tide from the outside!
Phoenix Flame Domain—Expand!
The moment the domain was formed, a mysterious power of rules quietly spread out, and the edges of the space divided by the fire wall inexplicably deflected.
The energy tide, powerful enough to tear everything apart, seemed to have struck an insurmountable dimensional barrier the moment it hit the wall of fire!
All that could be seen was the flashing and twisting light of the explosion on the outside of the fire wall, but it couldn't penetrate even a fraction of the inside!
Subsequently, it was forcibly cut apart by the rules of space and banished to the unknown spatial turbulence!
The moment the Phoenix Domain unfolded, a wave of heat swept over him, making Han Qing, who was far away, gasp for breath.
He stared at the rising wall of fire, sensing the familiar spatial fluctuations within it. His pupils constricted sharply as he realized what was happening, and he cried out in alarm:
"field!!"
"This is a domain formed by spatial abilities!!"
What Li Yu displayed was a spatial ability that was extremely similar to his "Avoiding the Rain in the Cold Mountain" ability, and he could use this ability to create barriers or domains.
"How could Li Yu possibly be a space-type awakener?!" Han Qing was filled with bewilderment and a sense of absurdity.
He would believe it if someone said Li Yu was a fire elementalist, and Li Yu also had that terrifying bow and arrow. If you add spatial abilities to that... it's simply against all reason!
But Han Qing had no time to think it over. With his deep understanding of the nature of the barrier domain, he immediately seized the key flaw!
Han Qing, as if grasping at his only hope, shouted at the top of his lungs at the steel-cast legion that had paused briefly while analyzing the firewall:
"Don't just stand there like an idiot!"
"The expansion of a domain can only involve one spatial division and transformation! Subsequent expansions will require a continuous and enormous expenditure of energy to sustain it!"
Han Qing immediately pointed to the fire wall and continued to urge Gang Zhu:
"Quickly! Keep attacking! Don't stop!"
"A barrage of firepower can tear apart the domain! Li Yu won't last long!"
Han Qing sighed inwardly. Li Yu used the spatial rules of the instant the domain was opened to cut through space and isolate the attack. This move was indeed ingenious!
But at most, it can only be considered a delay.
Faced with the relentless saturation attacks from the steel-casting, relying solely on Li Yu's energy to support the entire region would inevitably lead to its collapse!
What the Steel Legion needs to do now is to keep firing and applying pressure, wait for Li Yu to run out of energy, and then catch him like a turtle in a jar!
Thinking of this, Han Qing shouted loudly at Li Yu inside the wall of fire, trying to break Li Yu's will:
"Li Yu! Do you think you can survive with your little trick of spatial cutting?"
"Don't forget I'm also proficient in spatial abilities! Faced with overwhelming firepower, your domain will be smashed sooner or later!"
"Accept your fate, you're dead this time!"
At this point, Steel Casting seemed to have adopted Han Qing's suggestion and entered the analysis results:
Analysis confirms that the target is constructing a high-energy defense system.
[Logical deduction protocol approved. Execute continuous saturation attack to deplete target's energy.]
The red eyes of all units in the Steel Legion lit up again, and even more ferocious energy began to converge wildly in various weapon systems, as if an endless barrage of resonant firepower was about to descend once more!
Only then did Han Qing finally reveal a ferocious smile of absolute certainty on his face.
The next wave of simultaneous fire from the steel-casting unit will surely annihilate the entire flame domain and Li Yu within it!
However, Li Yu, who had always looked down on Han Qing, took the initiative to speak to him at this moment:
"What a pity..."
