each became straight as a spear, aiming at Mr. Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just then, Mr. Luo’s figure blurred and then vanished from his original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Mr. Luo reappeared beside Fu Qian, with flames blazing all over him, and pressed his hand on Fu Qian’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teleportation is perfect for ambushes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several tentacles next to Fu Qian instantly changed direction, stabbing towards Mr. Luo’s chest without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this swift counterattack missed, passing through only a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visual misdirection, it can disrupt distance perception, causing visual errors for the opponent, another one of Frenzied Spirit’s former abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cruel smile crossed Mr. Luo’s face, as he used the split second he had bought to let the black flames on his body explode outwards, sending a giant fireball flying, while he retreated like a bolt of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the surrounding grey veils also sped up their closure, attempting to firmly trap Fu Qian and leave him no chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fu Qian seemed to have fallen into dire straits, Mr. Luo suddenly found himself bumping into a bundle of tentacles, and upon looking, his escape route had already been completely sealed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t retracted the tentacles to defend himself but had created an even bigger barrier, trapping both of them inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Mr. Luo’s heart suddenly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why the rush to leave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of the raging black flames, Fu Qian looked calmly at Mr. Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone these days seems to love playing the terrorist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teleportation, restraint, explosion, encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a coherent attack clearly indicated a plan from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To numb his senses, he even deliberately first threw a black fireball to mislead him into thinking he favored ranged attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a calculated move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for you, today I’m playing the BOSS script!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re seeking a thrill, then see it through to the end!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, endless black flames erupted explosively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Luo was obviously not the type to destroy himself for victory, even if he employed terrorist-like tactics, he wouldn’t fail to leave a way out for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, when he charged over just now, Fu Qian noticed that the Frenzied Spirit on his shoulder was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deducing this was likely his last resort, Fu Qian decided to give him a reason to use it, and directly sealed off his escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re worried about me running, but I’m even more worried about you running!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Show me your true ace up the sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the destructive power of the explosion, Mr. Luo’s body all but disintegrated in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Frenzied Spirit outside the barrier came to life, moving with swift agility, retreating to avoid the aftershocks of the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the flames dissipated\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watching the center of the explosion was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After such a devastating explosion, Fu Qian still stood tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although compared to before, more than ten of his tentacles were severed, and there were scorch marks all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But obviously, the explosion hadn’t inflicted unbearable damage on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that the majority of the wounds were healing at an astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this scene, the Porcelain Doll in the sky froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes locking with the Frenzied Spirit, it immediately transformed into a streak of light, and without the slightest hesitation, it fled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-03T07:50:25.893Z","2026-06-03T07:50:30.690Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b931d0b7290cb144c70cef5743271f113517ed9a35b0098be530dcc7b341a17","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-204","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-202",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
