The Final Flame Bullet

At the critical instant, Bai Yan's body reacted on instinct.

Her wings beat with all her strength, and her body suddenly accelerated. The fireball that had originally been aimed at her torso brushed past her by a hair.

Bai Yan unleashed all her strength in an instant and narrowly dodged the long-planned attack.

The sudden attack broke Bai Yan out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly flapped her wings and climbed upward, distancing herself from Huo Wu's range.

"Damn it!"

Huo Wu saw that Teacher Bai Yan had dodged the attack and felt it was a terrible pity.

Quan Yi also looked up at Bai Yan with a grave expression.

This was Quan Yi's plan. Although Teacher Bai Yan's requirement had been to last fifteen minutes, Quan Yi had no intention of simply taking a beating passively.

If it had only been Quan Yi alone, he definitely would not have been able to counterattack. But with Huo Wu added in, if the two of them worked together, they could try to launch an offense.

Bai Yan truly had not anticipated Huo Wu's attack.

Because Quan Yi's strength had overshadowed Huo Wu's brilliance, it had made her unconsciously overlook Huo Wu.

Moreover, Quan Yi's actions had made her mistakenly think that Huo Wu was merely someone under his protection. After all, giving up her field of vision also meant Huo Wu had given up on defense.

This also made her completely fail to realize that Huo Wu was the true offensive end.

It had truly given Bai Yan a surprise.

However, Bai Yan had dodged this long-planned strike.

This fact also made Bai Yan completely lose her misgivings.

Through this strike, Bai Yan had thoroughly confirmed one thing: Huo Wu's attacks would no longer be able to threaten her.

She could dodge them even when completely unprepared. Now that she was on guard, Bai Yan was even less likely to be hit by Huo Wu.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu understood this as well. Next, Teacher Bai Yan would attack Huo Wu from the air without any hesitation.

Sure enough, Teacher Bai Yan dove rapidly, closing in on Huo Wu at high speed.

"Flame Feather Assault."

Because it was an attack descending from the sky, the three feather arrows were a notch faster than normal.

"Flame Bullet."

Huo Wu immediately condensed a fireball to deal with Bai Yan's ranged attack.

"Boom!"

The Flame Bullet shot forward and collided with the feather arrows. The instant the two touched, the Flame Bullet immediately exploded.

The explosion was extremely powerful, blasting the three feather arrows away directly.

Bai Yan's attacks were extremely fast, but Quan Yi's tall figure gave him a very wide defensive range, limiting the angles from which Bai Yan could attack.

With the angle narrowed, Huo Wu had room to react.

This allowed Huo Wu to barely defend against Bai Yan's attacks.

The attack ranges of Bai Yan's and Huo Wu's First Soul Skills were about the same, but because Bai Yan was attacking from above, her attack range had also increased considerably.

This meant Huo Wu could only defend passively.

Bai Yan pressed her advantage, and feather arrows fell like rain.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The collisions between Flame Bullets and feather arrows covered the sky in orange fireworks.

Although the Flame Bullet's condensation speed was not as fast as Flame Feather Assault's, the impact force from the explosions and the dazzling light slowed Bai Yan's offensive.

In just a short dozen seconds, Huo Wu's Soul Power had been drained by more than half. The intense mental focus and heavy consumption of Soul Power made Huo Wu's face turn somewhat pale.

Quan Yi also noticed Huo Wu's condition, but he could not act on his own right now.

Teacher Bai Yan's offensive, in a certain sense, was more like besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. If Quan Yi tried to help Huo Wu, their formation would immediately collapse.

When that happened, Huo Wu would be completely exposed before Teacher Bai Yan.

The situation then would become even worse.

Bai Yan did indeed have that layer of intent, but when she saw Quan Yi remain unmoved, only staying alert to the other directions, she understood that she could only focus her attention on Huo Wu.

But even if she could not shake Quan Yi, she could still rely on her advantage in Soul Power to thoroughly drain Huo Wu's Soul Power.

It was a very clumsy method, but there was no way around it. Bai Yan's attack routes had been completely restricted by Quan Yi.

Her speed and attacks were completely ineffective before Quan Yi's defense.

She could only attack Huo Wu from range through the small defensive gap above Quan Yi's head.

The eighth shot, the ninth shot.

"Bang, bang!"

Huo Wu had three shots left. She would not be able to hold out much longer.

Clashing head-on with Bai Yan was nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst. It could only buy them a moment.

But being able to hold out until now had already far exceeded Huo Wu's own expectations.

If this had been her from a week ago, Huo Wu was certain she would never have lasted this long.

Without Quan Yi's provocation, Huo Wu never would have made such enormous progress.

Feeling the hollowness inside her body from her depleted Soul Power, a crazed glint flashed through Huo Wu's eyes.

The rain of red arrows filling the sky was like a baptism, washing away Huo Wu's cowardice and stirring up her courage.

The Fire Shadow behind Huo Wu seemed to sense her soaring fighting spirit, and its color grew brighter and brighter.

Huo Wu raised her left hand, gathering Soul Power in both hands at the same time. She was going to fire simultaneously. The shadow behind Huo Wu followed her and made the same movement.

Two fireballs condensed at once, their temperature far surpassing before. The heat wave lifted Huo Wu's long hair, revealing her resolute expression.

"Double Flame Bullet!"

The two flame bullets shot toward Bai Yan one after another. The first flame bullet struck the feather arrows head-on, and a fierce explosion instantly swept through the rain of arrows.

A burst of orange-yellow light illuminated the entire sky. It scattered Bai Yan's red arrow rain and also concealed the glow of the second flame bullet.

Huo Wu had grasped the timing perfectly. The explosion of the first flame bullet did not affect the flight of the second; on the contrary, it opened a path for it.

From Bai Yan's perspective, there was only a sheet of orange-yellow firelight. Before that powerful glare, her sharp gaze lost its edge.

Bai Yan had not anticipated Huo Wu's second flame bullet at all.

"Bang!"

The unexpected explosion, along with intense firelight and impact, swept toward Bai Yan.

Although the explosion did not hit Bai Yan directly, it was already extremely close. Coupled with the fact that it was a sudden situation Bai Yan had not expected at all, her flight was hindered by the force of the blast.

Bai Yan could no longer maintain her continuous attack and could only struggle to keep her balance first.

In the end, Huo Wu's attack range was still shorter than Bai Yan's in the air. Therefore, the goal of Huo Wu's second flame bullet was not to hit Bai Yan.

Rather, it was to disrupt the other side's rhythm through the explosion and buy herself a little time.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Huo Wu shouted loudly.

"Xiao Yi!"

Quan Yi understood at once. His hand swiftly swept across the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest, taking out a palm-sized little stone from within.

Then, without looking back, he handed the stone to Huo Wu behind him.

Huo Wu quickly took it, then gripped the stone in her right hand and aimed it in Bai Yan's direction.

She was going to fire this stone up there.

Huo Wu gathered all the Soul Power in her body into her right hand.

"Go!" Along with Huo Wu's clear shout, a blazing flame bullet raced toward Bai Yan, who was still adjusting her posture, at lightning speed.

This was Huo Wu's final flame bullet.

Bai Yan also saw Huo Wu's flame bullet. Having just steadied herself, Bai Yan saw the flame bullet right before her eyes and could only cross her wings, blocking it in front of herself.

After all, the flame bullet's attack range was not far. As long as she withstood the shockwave from the explosion, it would be fine.

But it was precisely this mistaken action of Bai Yan's that completely changed the situation of the entire battle.
