Chapter 1237
"20, 21, 22..."
Su Xiao was timing. Even if he made a mistake by one second, it could lead to Apollo exploding in his hand or throwing Apollo out early.
If it were a few derivative worlds ago, Su Xiao would never dare to use Apollo like this. The Apollo he made at that time wasn't as stable as it was now. The current Apollo, as long as it was set to explode in 30 seconds, would never differ by 0.1 seconds.
"28."
When counting to 28, Su Xiao had already set up a throwing posture. At the same time, the Armor Spirit's gaze looked toward the stone corridor, and the focus of his gaze was exactly where Su Xiao was.
The Armor Spirit was somewhat puzzled. Just at the moment he was puzzled, a red sphere flew out from that pitch-black stone corridor at an extremely fast speed.
Boom!
Rubble splashed under the Armor Spirit's feet, and he rushed straight toward Apollo. He had found the source of the sense of crisis.
The Armor Spirit's arms were wrapped in energy. He fought entirely with his body, and the energy in his body was used more to protect his arms and hands, so he didn't fear enemies holding sharp weapons.
The Armor Spirit's sprint was so fast that afterimages appeared. Almost instantly, he rushed in front of Apollo and reached out to grab Apollo.
Apollo's volume expanded sharply, expanding directly from the original apple size to five meters in diameter, like a small sun.
The Armor Spirit stopped abruptly in place. His originally leaning-forward body leaned backward, his legs arched, and he jumped backward with all his might.
The circular open space was a sealed environment. In this environment, Apollo's power would only be stronger.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, and white appeared vaguely in the center of the orange-red flame. Almost instantly, the sun fire filled the open space.
The entire open space turned into a world of flames. Those long blade users didn't even hum before being burned to ashes. The armor and long-handled sabers on their bodies melted into molten iron in mid-air, and the molten iron was vaporized by the high temperature of the sun fire before it could land.
The surrounding stone walls were like candles meeting a soldering iron, quickly melted into magma. Some rocks were burned into white particles because the temperature was too high.
A curled-up figure squatted on the ground, surrounded by molten iron. This was the molten iron of more than a dozen long blade users' armor and long-handled sabers.
Squatting on the ground was the Armor Spirit. He didn't rush forward because the timing wasn't right. At the moment Apollo exploded, more than a dozen long blade users pounced on the Armor Spirit, pressing the Armor Spirit at the very bottom to reduce the impact and high temperature the Armor Spirit suffered.
In the high-temperature environment, the Armor Spirit's vision began to blur. His current state was very poor, with organ displacement, large-area burns on his body surface, and other injuries, causing his health to drop to 30%. You know, the Armor Spirit's health was very terrifying.
The Armor Spirit was strong, but Apollo was the pinnacle product of alchemy, an alchemy bomb developed by countless alchemists, the pinnacle work of alchemy bomb studies.
"Whoosh~"
The Armor Spirit spat out a puff of red mist; that was the blood evaporated in his body. His gaze scanned the surroundings, and everywhere he looked was fiery red, with magma all over the ground.
There were two exits, no, there should be only one—the passage to the lower floor, which the Armor Spirit couldn't enter, just as he couldn't leave the Xiya Sanctuary.
In this way, the only passage left for him to leave the world of flames was that stone corridor leading to the Quake Heaven Hall.
The Armor Spirit's legs gathered strength, and blue smoke drifted from under his feet. His feet were already numb.
With a bang, the Armor Spirit rushed out like a cannonball. He rushed into the stone corridor instantly, and at this moment, his health was only 23%. If he continued to stay in the flame area, he would be roasted to death by the high temperature without Su Xiao needing to do anything.
On the other side of the stone corridor, Su Xiao patted out the flames on his body. Several broken counter-attack shields floated around him. Although he retreated very quickly, the speed at which the sun fire surged out was not slow, and he was affected.
Fortunately, Su Xiao was not at the center of the explosion, and those sun fires were not as terrifying as they were originally after merging into the stone corridor. At least the speed was not fast.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu had been waiting here for a long time. Su Xiao consumed the only remaining Apollo, fortunately saving the 【Elite Necromancer Summoning Voucher】.
With the grade of the 【Elite Necromancer Summoning Voucher】, the Necromancers that could be summoned were definitely of the strength of Long Blade User · Kong, and the types were left to Su Xiao to choose, which was very precious. At a critical moment, Su Xiao could summon three small boss-level elite Necromancers.
【You have killed Long Blade User.】
【You have killed Long Blade User.】
A large number of notifications appeared. The long blade users killed this time didn't have the 'Kong' suffix. If they were thirty Long Blade User · Kongs, then the first floor of the Xiya Sanctuary would be too terrifying.
A charred figure rushed from the other side of the stone corridor. Su Xiao gripped the long blade in his hand, preparing to fight the Armor Spirit.
With a thud, the charred Armor Spirit fell to the ground. The battle armor on his body melted in large areas, the armor plates sticking together. More importantly, blue smoke was rising from his eyes.
The Armor Spirit's eyes opened, and cracks could vaguely be seen on his left eyeball. Whether his vision was preserved was questionable.
"This guy... seems very miserable."
Su Xiao felt relieved in his heart. Even in the third tier, Apollo was still very powerful. Although it didn't directly blow the Armor Spirit to death, the opponent was clearly half-dead.
Facing the Armor Spirit in a seriously injured state, Su Xiao was of course not afraid. Now even if it were 1v1, he had the confidence to defeat the opponent.
The Armor Spirit stood up from the ground and looked at Su Xiao. The pupils of his right eye constricted slightly, seemingly having discovered something.
The Armor Spirit's right arm raised, and the 【Extinction Stone】 was embedded in the armor plate on the back of his hand.
Seeing the Armor Spirit raise his arm, Su Xiao's brow furrowed. The Ancient Necromancer Race had a keen perception of the Shadow of Extinction. As long as they met, the opponent could determine his identity as a Shadow of Extinction. The few Ancient Necromancers he had encountered before were all like this.
The Armor Spirit retreated quickly. He actually retreated toward the flame area behind him. Even if the temperature of the sun fire was dropping rapidly, that area was still fatal.
Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and immediately followed. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was responsible for guarding the rear in place. He was covered in fur; if he entered that flame area, he would become a charcoal-grilled 'Husky'. Amu followed behind Su Xiao; he was originally of the ice attribute and didn't fear high temperatures much.
Discovering Su Xiao following, the corners of the Armor Spirit's mouth curled up. He turned and rushed into the flame area, soon disappearing from Su Xiao's sight.
Su Xiao didn't dare to move at full speed. Even if he had the counter-attack shield on, the high temperature gradually rising around him was still very troublesome.
One minute later, the Armor Spirit retreated to the center of the flame area. He perhaps already knew that he couldn't defeat Su Xiao, so he prepared to throw the 【Extinction Stone】 into a dangerous place. He could die, but he didn't want the Shadow of Extinction to get the 【Extinction Stone】. As for destroying this thing, the difficulty was too high for the Armor Spirit.
Su Xiao also arrived at the center of the flame area. The temperature here had dropped a lot, at least the sun fire had disappeared, but the surroundings were full of magma, like entering a magma cave.
Drip, drip...
Magma dripped from the ceiling, sizzling as it landed on the counter-attack shield.
