Boom!!!
A scorching fireball, wrapped in rolling waves of heat, came crashing down from high above, slamming toward the Mountain God temple from the direction of its gate.
Bang!
Flames exploded across the sky.
The shockwave swept outward, and within a radius of several dozen feet, it seemed as though everything had been devoured by fire!
A visible wave of air surged outward with it.
The young men from the Demon Suppression Division were swallowed up by the flames of the aftershock as well.
Their figures were flung more than ten feet away.
However,
the searing heat they had imagined never came.
The young men felt the pain of the impact,
but immediately afterward came a long-lost warmth, like the sun!
At the same time,
the blood river and all the other layers of strange phenomena before their eyes dissipated.
Their gazes cleared as well.
That feeling—
it was as if every negative condition on their bodies had been swept clean!
"What?!"
The sudden turn of events left the young men's faces full of astonishment.
Before their eyes, flames surged into the heavens.
The fireball that had crashed onto the Mountain God temple had blossomed into roaring flames.
But at the same time,
the two red lanterns hanging before the Mountain God temple burst into dazzling crimson light.
Some vast force whirled and flowed like a tide, surging madly toward the flames, seemingly intent on drowning those strange flames in one stroke!
The sky before their eyes
seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, a sea of blood!
"Who is it?!"
Just as the young men's hearts were shaken, a figure silently descended, landing beside them like a falling leaf.
Before they could react,
they saw the figure extend a palm forward. Its five fingers rotated in midair.
