Void! Yu Xiaogang is Dumbfounded!

Ma Hongjun had no intention of probing, and directly used his strongest killing move.

The first yellow spirit ring surrounding his body suddenly shone brightly.

"First Spirit Ability, Phoenix Fireline!"

Ma Hongjun took a deep breath, and his already fleshy chest and abdomen bulged out fiercely.

Like a giant toad filled with air.

Immediately after, he opened his cavernous mouth and forcefully sprayed forward.

Boom!

A scorching dark red flame, as thick as an adult's thigh, shot towards Gu Sheng like a piercing arrow.

This flame was mixed with the attributes of violent Evil Fire.

Where the flame passed, the air twisted under the unbearable pressure.

Emitting bursts of ear-piercing "sizzling" burning sounds.

The hard bluestone slabs on the ground were plowed into a deep, charred trench by the scorching heat of this fireline.

Stones flew along the way, with a terrifying momentum.

Facing this aggressive attack, which was enough to instantly burn an ordinary person to ashes.

Gu Sheng's reaction, however, was beyond everyone's expectations.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

In his eyes, not even a trace of panic could be found.

His dark robe fluttered in the heatwave stirred up by the flames.

Gu Sheng still stood quietly in place.

His hands were behind his back.

His feet did not move even half an inch.

He neither dodged nor released any martial soul or spirit ability for defense.

His demeanor was as if he had been scared silly by this terrifying scene.

A deafening roar of surprise erupted from the surrounding crowd.

"It's over! This kid is definitely finished!"

"Why isn't he dodging! Is he too scared to move!"

"Alas, not even a complete bone will be left this time!"

Many timid civilians were so scared that they closed their eyes, not daring to watch the tragedy that was about to unfold.

Everyone had already sentenced Gu Sheng to death in their hearts.

After all, the twenty-level spirit power gap was there. Taking a full-power attack from a Soul Elder head-on could only result in death, with no other possibility.

Some young people who had been excited by Gu Sheng's intervention were now sweating with fear.

They were extremely glad that they had not impulsively stepped forward.

Otherwise, they would be the ones standing there waiting to die, about to turn into a charred corpse.

Yu Xiaogang's sneer became even more smug.

He had already prepared the opening remarks for the next part.

Qian Renxue, standing on the periphery, had an unusually calm expression.

Her bright eyes were fixed on Gu Sheng's back without blinking.

There was no worry or panic at all.

This level of flame was not even a joke in the face of Gu Sheng's unfathomable power.

The Phoenix Fireline, carrying a destructive aura, moved extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed to the front of Gu Sheng's face.

In the brief moment just before the flames were about to hit Gu Sheng's body.

A bizarre scene occurred again, without any warning.

Under everyone's gaze.

Gu Sheng's originally solid and upright figure suddenly became illusory.

Like a reflection on a calm lake, disturbed by a pebble, ripples spread outwards.

His entire body presented a peculiar transparent state.

Then.

The scorching, violent dark red flame collided with Gu Sheng's "body" without any obstruction.

There was no unpleasant smell of burning flesh and blood as imagined.

There was not even the sound of spirit power colliding from any resistance.

That stream of fire, capable of melting steel, passed straight through Gu Sheng's body as it turned transparent.

It was as if it had passed through a mass of air with no physical form.

After passing through Gu Sheng.

The fire stream, its momentum undiminished, struck the empty ground far behind him.

"BOOM!"

A deafening roar shook the air.

The stone slabs on the ground were instantly shattered into dust.

A massive amount of soil and charred rubble was blasted high into the air by the violent energy.

A huge crater half a meter deep was left in the original spot.

The bottom of the crater was scorched black, with acrid black smoke continuously rising from it.

The entire street.

At this moment, fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone nearby was so shocked by this extremely bizarre scene that they were speechless.

Some rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Others swallowed hard, their throats making dry, rasping sounds.

"This... what is going on?"

"The fire stream clearly hit him, so how did it pass right through his body?"

"What kind of monster is he!"

Panic spread through the crowd like a plague.

They could not comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

Yu Xiaogang's arms, which had been crossed over his chest, slid down powerlessly.

His eyes were wide as copper bells, staring at the transparent figure that still stood there, completely unscathed.

He had read the secret records of all the major sects and prided himself on mastering the core truths of martial spirits on the Douluo Continent.

Yet, this situation before him was not covered by even half a word in any of his theoretical notes.

This phenomenon, which completely defied the common sense of the spirit master world, made Yu Xiaogang feel dizzy and lightheaded.

"This is impossible... there is absolutely no such martial spirit or spirit skill!"

Seeing such a dramatic reversal, Qian Renxue smiled, her expression blooming like a spring flower, bright and peerless.

She revealed a smile of gratification, as if she had expected it all along.

"Do you clowns really think you are worthy of hurting him?"

"You truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth."

By comparison, Ma Hongjun, who had launched the attack, was the most stimulated.

He watched helplessly as his most relied-upon trump card was dodged by the opponent in a way he could not understand.

A strong sense of frustration instantly transformed into an even more surging rage that rushed straight to his head.

Ma Hongjun felt this was an insult.

"You bastard, how dare you play me for a fool!"

Ma Hongjun was furious.

He recklessly and frantically urged the spirit power within his body.

The light of his three spirit rings shone in harmony, reaching its peak brightness.

The phantom of the Evil Fire Phoenix behind him became increasingly solid, emitting a shrill screech.

Ma Hongjun swung his palms repeatedly, launching another fierce attack.

This time, he held nothing back.

He forcibly increased the power and density of his attack several times over.

Dozens of dark red fire streams, thicker and hotter than before, erupted from different angles.

They wove together into an airtight net of death.

It sealed off all of Gu Sheng's paths of retreat from every direction.

"I want to see if you can turn into air this time!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions rang out densely at the spot where Gu Sheng stood.

Violent flames raged, instantly swallowing that small patch of space entirely.

The massive impact stirred up a thick cloud of dust and smoke.

It blotted out the sky and sun, completely obscuring Gu Sheng's figure within it.

The surrounding civilians had long since fled far away.

No one dared to approach this sea of fire that resembled a purgatory.
