Balua came coiling toward him, his body as supple as a boneless python. Water elements filled every cell in his body, and once his Water Elemental Body took shape, blades could not sever him, nor did he fear heavy blows.
But a Water Elemental Body was not invincible. When Han Shuo discovered that slashing was useless, he immediately understood the problem. Smiling, he waited for Balua to slither toward him like a python, then shook both hands. Blazing red demonic flames surged forth and immediately rushed toward Balua.
"Damn it, you're a fire fighter!" Balua swore. Just as he was about to coil around Han Shuo, he recoiled in panic as though struck by lightning, deeply wary of the searing Demon Flame pouring from Han Shuo's hands.
Every higher being in the Abyss Realm was called a fighter of a different element according to the elemental power they cultivated. Haimanna and Xierfu were lightning and fire fighters, while Nanzhaluo was a dark fighter. Balua, who held the title of Rakshasa, was a water fighter.
Elemental powers both supported and countered one another. Having cultivated water elemental power to form an Elemental Body, Balua remained wary of flames. The fierce flames formed by Han Shuo's Mystic Ice Demon Flame Art were produced entirely through Demonic Essence and possessed a particularly sinister burning power.
Thus, as soon as the two streams of flame appeared, Balua sensed their scorching heat. That burning power seemed capable of evaporating all the water elements within his cells, so he had no choice but to retreat. However, he had approached too swiftly, and Han Shuo had struck faster than lightning. He still failed to escape the pursuit of those two streams of flame completely.
Balua let out a strange, night-owl-like screech and hastily condensed the water elements
