One More Shot

Although Huo Wu's attack was knocked down by Bai Yan, she did not feel discouraged.

Quan Yi had already anticipated this situation and made arrangements.

"Huo Wu, act according to plan," Quan Yi whispered to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu immediately took a new stone from her belt.

"Flame Bullet."

With a wave of Bai Yan's right arm, three feather arrows shot toward Huo Wu's Flame Bullet, while she herself rose rapidly, guarding against Huo Wu's follow-up attacks.

Bang!

"What?"

This collision did not produce the large explosion Bai Yan had expected. This time, it was only an ordinary Flame Bullet.

Did Quan Yi forget? Bai Yan thought.

No, impossible.

Bai Yan did not believe Quan Yi would make a mistake at a time like this.

That stone was bait. It was fake. Bai Yan quickly realized this.

The corners of Bai Yan's mouth lifted. She guessed this had to be Quan Yi's scheme.

Mixing in fake stones could interfere with Bai Yan's judgment. It could also save Soul Power and let them last longer.

Too troublesome. Bai Yan found Quan Yi's strength and tactics extremely troublesome.

Bai Yan had not wanted to expend too much Soul Power, because after dealing with Huo Wu, she still had to deal with Quan Yi.

But now, dealing with Huo Wu would also consume a large amount of Soul Power, and Bai Yan felt it was somewhat not worth the cost.

"Flame Feather Assault!"

However, Bai Yan was not stingy. She directly opened up with full firepower. After all, this was the most reliable method.

She repeated her old tactic, intending to use her advantage in Soul Power to completely drain Huo Wu's Soul Power.

As long as Huo Wu's Soul Power was exhausted, the two of them would be unable to use their Combined Soul Skill. At that time, Bai Yan could focus on handling Quan Yi.

Facing Teacher Bai Yan's fierce attacks, Huo Wu was highly focused, but she felt that Teacher Bai Yan's offensive was not as fierce as yesterday.

In fact, Huo Wu's feeling was not wrong. This was because the attack range of Huo Wu and Quan Yi's Double Ejection had greatly increased, allowing them to attack Bai Yan directly.

Therefore, Bai Yan had to divide off part of her attention for defense.

This also caused Bai Yan's attack power to decline somewhat, making it a little easier for Huo Wu to respond.

However, the situation was still unfavorable for Huo Wu and Quan Yi, because Huo Wu's amount of Soul Power was a fatal weakness.

Both Huo Wu and Bai Yan were extremely cautious. Bai Yan only dared to probe carefully from the very edge of Flame Feather Assault's range.

Time passed little by little. Huo Wu's attacks failed to take effect, and she had very little Soul Power and very few stones left on her.

"Xiao Yi, I don't have much Soul Power left."

Huo Wu urged Quan Yi somewhat anxiously.

At this moment, Quan Yi was also staring fixedly at Bai Yan's figure. Bai Yan's figure remained high above, showing no sign of descending at all.

She only descended when attacking, and after using a Soul Skill, she immediately rose again. Teacher Bai Yan was extremely cautious. Quan Yi understood that she was guarding against Huo Wu's combo attacks.

Quan Yi sensed that there were only two Rhino's Marks left on Huo Wu, and Huo Wu's Soul Power was only enough to fire twice.

"Huo Wu, get ready. Whether this works or not depends on this final strike!"

When Huo Wu heard Quan Yi's command, she immediately took out the last two stones engraved with Rhino's Mark.

She was going to recreate yesterday's Double Flame Bullet, and this time, it was an enhanced version fused with Rhino's Mark.

Bai Yan immediately noticed Huo Wu's intention. She realized that Huo Wu's Soul Power was already close to its limit, and that she was planning to stake everything on one final struggle.

Bai Yan's arms flapped rapidly, immediately widening the distance.

Because Quan Yi's Rhino's Mark had been added to Huo Wu's Double Flame Bullet, there were many more variables.

With the power of Quan Yi's Rhino's Mark, if Bai Yan were carelessly struck, with only level twenty Soul Power, it would be impossible for her to withstand an explosion at extremely close range.

However, Bai Yan soon discovered that Huo Wu was not condensing Soul Power, but was instead holding the two Flame Bullets in her hands.

Deterrence. Like two long-range cannons, merely placing them there was enough to make Bai Yan retreat from the difficulty.

Huo Wu was waiting for the instant Bai Yan descended. Having realized this, Bai Yan dared even less to act rashly.

Damn it. This can't go on.

Bai Yan's expression became somewhat grave. She noticed that most of the time had already slipped away. Because of this cautious style of fighting, Bai Yan had spent a lot of time.

Bai Yan was certain that with her First Soul Skill, she could cancel out the first Flame Bullet. However, the explosion of the Flame Bullet would also block Bai Yan's vision. At that time, countless rock fragments and sparks would burst open before Bai Yan's eyes, and Bai Yan would find it hard to aim at the second one.

What was even worse was that Quan Yi's Rhino's Mark was not like Huo Wu's Flame Bullet. It could be detonated at will. Even if Bai Yan could dodge the stone, Quan Yi could still control the timing of the explosion.

Huo Wu and Bai Yan were locked in a stalemate, both sides staring closely at each other's every move, trying to find even the slightest opening.

No!

As time passed, Bai Yan realized she was currently in a passive position.

Because this battle had a time limit. Huo Wu could keep dragging it out, but Bai Yan could not.

The current situation was extremely unfavorable for Bai Yan.

After thinking it over for a moment, Bai Yan made up her mind, then resolutely flew downward.

"Here she comes."

Huo Wu and Quan Yi focused their attention, watching Bai Yan closely.

Bai Yan attacked first, sending three Flame Feather Assaults sweeping in.

Huo Wu gathered all her remaining Soul Power into her hands. Flames instantly wrapped around the stones, then formed two orange-yellow fireballs.

The two Flame Bullets were fired one after another.

Huo Wu's first Flame Bullet slammed heavily into Bai Yan's attack. Quan Yi did not hesitate and decisively detonated Rhino's Mark.

Boom!

In an instant, brilliant firelight illuminated the entire sky.

The glare made Bai Yan narrow her eyes. The flash at such close range left her unable to see clearly.

However, Bai Yan no longer needed to open her eyes wide to search for the second Flame Bullet.

She did not return to the sky as she had before.

On the contrary, she accelerated into a diagonal dive. Bai Yan shielded her face with her right wing, and the spraying sparks and shards of stone could not harm her in the slightest.

At the last moment, Bai Yan changed her pattern of action.

A Flame Bullet was a straight-line attack, and Quan Yi's Rhino's Mark could only advance in a straight line as well; it could not go backward.

The flash had indeed caused Bai Yan no small amount of trouble, but light was impartial. It would shine on everyone equally, including Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

Bai Yan instead used that flash to hide herself.

Boom!

A second explosion rang out from behind Bai Yan's head.

As expected!

Bai Yan immediately let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Huo Wu's combo was indeed impressive, but she was still a little inexperienced. Against a Spirit Master whose real combat experience far surpassed her own, she had actually used the same tactic. Bai Yan could only say that Huo Wu was still somewhat lacking in practical combat experience.

Bai Yan immediately lowered her wing and looked toward Huo Wu. She wanted to confirm whether Huo Wu still had the strength to resist.

However, the instant her gaze turned toward Huo Wu, a red fireball appeared in Bai Yan's eyes.

Bai Yan could hardly believe it. It took time for Huo Wu to condense another Flame Bullet, and according to her judgment, Huo Wu should have already exhausted her Soul Power by now.

Bai Yan focused her eyes and saw that the one standing behind the fireball was not Huo Wu, but Quan Yi.

How was this possible?

Bai Yan tried hard to control her body, but the distance was too close, and her own descending speed was extremely fast. Bai Yan could only raise both arms again to block.

Bai Yan felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Quan Yi had been waiting for a long time. Bai Yan's every move had been completely seen through by Quan Yi. No, more accurately, Quan Yi had deliberately guided Bai Yan, making Bai Yan fly here herself.

"Sorry, teacher."

The fireball condensed in Quan Yi's hand was precisely an imitation version of Flame Bullet.

At the critical moment, Quan Yi would not go soft. The Flame Bullet had long since been ready to fire.

Flame Bullet!

The red meteor shone brilliantly, carrying a crimson Tail Flame as it slammed viciously into Bai Yan.
