Chapter 1276

Can't you say it if you don't have it?!

The two were chatting when suddenly Xiao Ika in the sky curtain unleashed a whirlwind slam, directly striking Aigle's wings. Jiu De Mai Yi saw two bud-like devices slowly close.

Although the high temperature wasn't halved like being cut at the waist by a dive, the scorching heat wave emanating from the sky curtain was indeed reduced somewhat.

More importantly, she discovered that as long as Bai'e and his allies kept attacking Aigle, the temperature would change; but if they gave Aigle even a brief respite, the temperature would keep rising continuously.

Only relentless attack can extinguish the wrath of the heavenly fire.

——

"Xiao Ika's attack showed significant effect, and Bai'e also began aiming at its huge eye on the chest and abdomen."

"However, just as Bai'e prepared to swing his sword and charge at it, a sharp, piercing long cry shook the heavens——"

""Cry——!!!"

"Aigele fiercely flapped its wings, slowly rising toward the high sky."

"Feng Jin first sensed something amiss: \"It... wants to burn this place to scorched earth! \""

"Only see, the huge ring behind Aigele suddenly lit up, blazing flames entwining it, as if greedily drawing the wrath from the firmament above."

"Immediately after, a blinding light that could not be stared at exploded without warning behind the Titan, like a blazing sun forcibly rising above the clouds of Weng Faluosi."

"Under this light's glare, Aigele's body was completely ignited. It seemed to become a vessel of flame, transforming into the legendary immortal firebird, from feather base to feather tip, from wing end to tail feather, every part radiating scorching heat."

"It slowly spread its wings——"

"The screech coming from the clouds was like the death knell of the apocalypse, echoing endlessly in everyone's ears."

——

Death God.

Jing Le Chun Shui raised the back of his hand and casually wiped away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The dark-red liquid, upon touching his skin, emitted a faint 'hiss' sound, quickly turning into a dry bloodstain on his fingertips.

"Dry mouth, chapped lips......"

No wind, even the air became dry and scorching; each breath felt like forcing a burning cotton ball into the lungs, continuously scorching the trachea.

So hot......

Jing Le Chun Shui slightly lowered his head, pressing down his straw hat, trying to block the expanse of sky over the Soul Society that seemed to be blazing. Without that sky curtain, he might even think that Old Master had not died, but was somewhere in the Soul Society unleashing the Complete Release of the Residual Fire Greatsword.

If this high temperature continues like this...... the consequences could be quite bad.

Jing Le Chun Shui licked his lips, and under the scorching heat, he instinctively reached out to touch the cup before him.

But the instant his fingertips touched the cup's body, he suddenly froze.

The liquor in the cup had at some point completely evaporated, not a drop left. Moreover, the originally warm porcelain cup had become scorching hot, as if just freshly fired from the kiln.

"Oh dear......"

Jing Le Chun Shui gave a wry smile, shook his head, and simply poured the entire wine flask into his mouth.

Fortunately, there was still a little liquor left, not completely evaporated.

However......

So hot......

——

""Are you okay?""

"Bai'e reached out a hand to Xing, pulling her up from the scorching floor."

"Although Dan Heng had already used a water curtain to alleviate the heat immediately, the shock temperature released by Aigle was simply too high; aside from Bai'e's strong resistance to heat, everyone else suffered some degree of burns."

"This blow seemed to have drained much of Aigle's strength; its body lay prone on the platform, also falling into a state of weakness. After confirming everyone was unharmed, Bai'e gripped his sword and charged straight at Aigle's head!"

""I'll strike down, false sun!"

"Bai'e's roar accompanied the sword's tearing-through-air sound. However, even in its weakened state, the Titan's power remained terrifying. Aigle exerted all remaining strength to flap one wing, directly meeting Bai'e's heavy, powerful slash."

"Only hearing a 'dong' sound, the metal rang and jade cracked; the sharp tremor of Qinshen's long cry entered everyone's ears, as if a steel wire were buzzing to drill into each person's ears."

"Although Bai'e was shaken back a few steps, he also left a horrendous huge wound on Aigle's wing."

""Cry——!"

"The intense pain caused Aigle to emit another bone‑chilling screech, making the entire platform tremble violently."

""Hand over the fire seed to us…… at least, we can ease the world's pain!""

Seeing Aigle preparing to flap its wings and fly upward again, Xing and Danheng made a split-second decision, splitting into two routes to attack the other side of Aigle's wings.

""Give it all we've got… cut off its wings!""

Bai E wiped the cracked tiger's mouth, gritted their teeth and said: "You, too, will undergo the golden cleansing!"

However, Aigle, which had been lowering its head, suddenly raised its neck; the long, slender beak began to condense a strong light, and in the blink of an eye it shot toward everyone!

""——Quick! Come behind me!""

Xing showed no hesitation, pulling out their spear and completely blocking that beam of light. At that very moment, Xiao Yi Ka suddenly flew out of Feng Jin's embrace, striking at an extremely tricky angle straight at Aigle's head!

""Bang——!""

Aigle obviously didn't expect this sudden attack either; it directly knocked its head askew, and the impact it was releasing was forced to stop. It vibrated its wings, dragging its wounded body into the heavy clouds above.

The lingering high temperature dissipated.

But before anyone could catch a breath, the sky above suddenly changed.

The clouds originally scorched dark red by the high heat were now completely replaced by rolling black clouds; deep within the clouds, countless thunderbolts wandered and intertwined like mad snakes, emitting a crackling burst.

The originally bright sky darkened completely within just a few seconds.

Suddenly, the ground vanished beneath everyone's feet; the entire platform began to plummet rapidly, hurtling toward the golden pool at the bottom.
