Chapter 371: Water and Fire Join Forces to Battle the Holy Infant

A hint of solemnity flashed in Hong'er's eyes.

He felt the power of Diannan's blade and did not dare be careless.

"Good timing!"

Hong'er shouted loudly, raising his Fire-tip Spear to meet the attack.

In an instant, fire sparks flew in all directions and vigorous qi crisscrossed.

"Hmph! Trivial tricks!"

Diannan snorted coldly, shifted his body, and easily dodged Hong'er's attack.

At the same time, he backhanded a slash, the Flame Blade tracing a perfect arc in the air and striking again at Hong'er.

The Flame Blade and Fire-tip Spear collided violently, producing a metallic clang.

Each clash seemed able to tear the air, making hearts pound.

Diannan's strength was indeed extraordinary; his Flame Blade technique was unique and fierce, each strike containing scorching vigorous qi, as if it could cut through anything.

Hong'er was not to be outdone; his Fire-tip Spear technique was equally exquisite, each thrust bringing blazing flames, making it hard to approach.

The two fought to a stalemate, smoke filling the battlefield and fire shooting into the sky.

Beikai watched from the side, secretly marveling.

He knew well that if he faced Diannan in combat, he would likely not fare well.

However, Hong'er grew braver the longer the fight went on.

His Fire-tip Spear seemed to turn into fiery dragons, dancing and soaring across the battlefield.

Diannan likewise did not yield; his Flame Blade in his hand seemed alive, agile and sharp.

For a time, the two were locked in an indecisive battle.

Amid the surging vigorous qi, it seemed as if even the air had been set ablaze.

Before the Cangzhou Army's formation, Su Ye watched from behind, a satisfied smile on his face.

He well knew Diannan's strength and was clear about Hong'er's potential.

Regardless of the outcome, this battle would be a splendid duel.

The Flame Blade and Fire-tip Spear continually clashed, ringing with metallic sounds; each strike seemed capable of knocking the opponent's weapon away.

"Good blade technique!"

Hong'er exclaimed in admiration, shifted his stance, and again dodged Diannan's attack.

Knowing he could not stay on the defensive forever, he must seek an opportunity to counterattack.

Thus, he deliberately exposed a flaw to lure Diannan forward to attack.

Seeing this, Diannan's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt.

He did not believe Hong'er would so easily reveal a flaw, yet this was indeed a rare opportunity.

He hesitated briefly, but ultimately decided to take the risk.

He directly channeled vigorous qi, the Flame Blade slashing toward Hong'er's opening with a howling wind.

However, at that very moment, Hong'er suddenly shifted sideways, skillfully dodging the Flame Blade's attack.

At the same time, his Fire-tip Spear stabbed toward Diannan's ribs like lightning.

"Ding! Hong'er's Skill Samadhi effect triggers double crit, Might +5"

"Hong'er's Might rises to 129!"

If this spear strike lands, Diannan will surely be severely wounded and fall.

Faced with Hong'er's sudden counterattack, Diannan's heart jolted, but as an experienced warrior he did not panic.

However, Hong'er's Fire-tip Spear came with overwhelming force, and Diannan could not dodge this deadly blow on his own.

"Ding! While fighting alongside Diannan, Beikai's Might +3, and the Torrential Flood effect IV fails; Beikai's Might rises to 123!"

At this critical moment, Beikai, who had been watching from the side, finally acted.

He brandished his Meteor Spear, charging into the fray like a silver lightning bolt, accurately blocking Hong'er's Fire-tip Spear.

"Clang!"

A resounding metallic clash echoed across the battlefield, sparks flying everywhere.

Beikai used the weight of his Meteor Spear to steadily hold up Hong'er's Fire-tip Spear, the two great forces locking in midair for a moment.

Although the Meteor Spear was eventually deflected somewhat, it at least defused the danger for Diannan.

"Diannan, are you alright?"

Beikai tilted his head to ask, his tone showing concern.

"No problem."

Diannan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Thanks, Beikai."

At this moment, Hong'er did not give up attacking; he tried to withdraw his Fire-tip Spear and launch another assault.

But Beikai's Meteor Spear was as steady as a mountain, leaving him unable to move.

"Hmph! Do you two think joining forces can defeat me?"

Hong'er snorted coldly, his face showing disdain.

"You brat, don't be arrogant!"

Beikai shouted angrily, suddenly exerting force to shake Hong'er's Fire-tip Spear aside, and together with Diannan launched an attack.

Diannan's Flame Blade, wreathed in scorching flames, slashed at Hong'er, while Beikai's Meteor Spear thrust like a silver dragon at his vital points.

The two, one wielding fire and the other water, complemented each other, forming an unstoppable offensive.

Seeing their such seamless coordination, Hong'er's heart jolted, and his face finally showed a solemn expression.

Realizing he could no longer underestimate these two opponents.

He took a deep breath, his body flickered, and he cleverly dodged the two attackers.

"Hmph! Not bad!"

"Hong Hai'er snorted coldly, 'But wanting to defeat me isn't that easy!'"

"Having said that, he brandished his fire-tip spear and fought the two again."

"This battle was fiercer and more dangerous, with all three fighting with all their might in offense and defense."

"Amid the surging vigorous qi, a fierce wind once again swept across the battlefield."

"The assaults of the flame blade and meteor spear grew ever fiercer, yet Hong Hai'er always managed to cleverly dodge each attack."

"His fire-tip spear also launched counterattacks from time to time, leaving Bei Kai and Dian Nan feeling somewhat strained."

"Amid the surging vigorous qi, the entire battlefield seemed illuminated by their weapons."

"Each swing of Hong Hai'er's fire-tip spear brought scorching flames and a sharp gust."

"Meanwhile, Dian Nan's flame blade danced across the battlefield like red lightning, unstoppable in its path!"

"At this point, Hong Hai'er had fallen into a frenzy; his attacks grew ever more fierce, as if he aimed to fell all his foes."

"However, he failed to notice that the two members of Armour Squad Two had already begun quietly changing their tactics."

"They began to use the terrain and their numerical advantage to encircle Hong Hai'er."

"The two—one wielding water, the other fire—though naturally opposing, here complemented each other, forming a wonderful balance."

"Their surging vigorous qi intertwined water and fire across the battlefield, like a magnificent scroll."

""Little one, today you cannot escape defeat!""

"Bei Kai said coldly, his voice like the icy wind of a glacier, piercing and bitter."

"Hong Hai'er snorted coldly, raised his fire-tip spear, 'Hmph, wanting me, Hong Hai'er, to admit defeat—no easy task!'"

"The battle reignited; Hong Hai'er took on two foes alone, his fire-tip spear like a dragon leaping from the sea, hurling scorching flames at Bei Kai and Dian Nan."

"However, Bei Kai and Dian Nan cooperated with seamless coordination, seeming to anticipate each other's every move, each offense and defense perfectly timed."

"Bei Kai's meteor spear fell like the Milky Way descending nine heavens, bearing an icy, sharp aura straight for Hong Hai'er."

"Meanwhile, Dian Nan's flame blade danced like a fire phoenix, perfectly complementing Bei Kai's assault."

"Under their encirclement, Hong Hai'er gradually faltered; though his fire-tip spear remained fierce, it had lost its former might."

"Meanwhile, Bei Kai and Dian Nan's assault grew ever more fierce, as if they were pouring all their strength into this battle."
