Chapter 177: Crushing Defeat

Zzzzzzz～～～～～, large swathes of lightning bolts struck down from the sky.

Boom～～～～～, the ground was instantly blasted into charred, deep pits by the lightning. However, it did not strike Liu Chuan and Liu Xiang; they had already sprouted wings from their ribs the moment the lightning fell, forcibly changing their direction to exit the attack range of the falling bolts.

"Quick, attack that mage! That brat is about to reach his limit." Knight Shi Jian, seeing that Nangong Miss Mengli had successfully ascended and awakened, shouted immediately, ordering Nangong Miss Mengli to attack Brown.

"Extreme Night Ice Seal." Just as Knight Shi Jian finished shouting, Ye Qingyu's voice rang out immediately. Following this, the air temperature plummeted sharply; the temperature dropped fastest in the area where Brown was located. In the blink of an eye, it had dropped by a hundred degrees, and large amounts of ice had already appeared on Brown's body, spreading rapidly.

"Damn it." Brown discovered the ice rapidly covering his body and had no choice but to stop attacking Zhuge Xun. He used wind-type magic to escape, retreating more than ten meters away before using fire-type magic to remove the ice from his body.

"Pfft～～～, why is it still not working?" Brown stopped his attack, and Zhuge Xun said with annoyance after spitting out a large mouthful of blood. If Ye Qingyu hadn't attacked Brown in time, forcing him to stop, Zhuge Xun felt he might not have been able to hold on, and even if he didn't die, he would have suffered heavy injury.

"Kid, are you alright?" Seeing Zhuge Xun spit blood, Knight Shi Jian asked with great anxiety.

"Old Shi, why is it still not working? Why am I so useless? Not only did I fail to awaken, but I couldn't even withstand his attack?" Zhuge Xun asked Knight Shi Jian with great frustration.

"You have only been cultivating for a little over a year in the true sense; having this level of strength is already very impressive. You have now awakened the Knight's Heart, and your talent is beyond that of ordinary people, but after all, you have only been cultivating for a short time. It is normal that you did not succeed in awakening," Knight Shi Jian replied.

"Damn it, if only I were a little stronger." Zhuge Xun still hadn't recovered from the failure of his awakening.

"Little Xunzi, are you alright?" Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli had already rushed to Zhuge Xun's side and asked.

"Nothing too serious, just suffered some injuries," Zhuge Xun replied.

Pfft～～～～, but just as Zhuge Xun finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Girl Miss Mengli, this kid is heavily injured, hurry and heal him." Seeing Zhuge Xun spit blood again, Knight Shi Jian immediately and anxiously ordered Nangong Miss Mengli to heal Zhuge Xun.

"Right, heal his heart first," Knight Shi Jian said anxiously.

"Heart? Alright." Although Nangong Miss Mengli was very puzzled, she immediately healed Zhuge Xun's heart.

A cyan-green light of healing flowed slowly, entering Zhuge Xun's body and seeping into his heart. Zhuge Xun's heart had been in a state of constant blood-producing output due to the awakening of the Knight's Heart and was already severely worn. Now, upon contact with the healing light, it immediately devoured the light like a starving beast. Zhuge Xun's complexion also gradually improved, and the injuries he had just sustained from being hit by Brown's Flowing Fire Angry Thunder were also gradually recovering under the powerful blood-producing ability of the Knight's Heart. In just a few more minutes, Zhuge Xun would be able to fully recover.

"Very good, it won't take long for his injuries to heal at this rate." Knight Shi Jian and Zhuge Xun shared a connection of heart and mind; seeing that Zhuge Xun's injuries were about to be healed, Knight Shi Jian said with great joy.

"Flowing Fire Angry Thunder." But before Knight Shi Jian could be happy for long, Brown's angry voice came from another direction, followed by a Thunder-Fire Angry Dragon tearing through the sky toward them.

Healing Zhuge Xun required time, and Brown also needed time to prepare. After all, Flowing Fire Angry Thunder required the fusion of two types of magic, and they were the two most active magic types: thunder and fire. Therefore, every time Brown wanted to use it, he needed a long time to prepare; otherwise, it would easily lead to the failure of the fusion of the two magics, or even cause a magical riot that could kill him. Moreover, every use consumed a large amount of Brown's physical strength and magical power. He had already used it once before, so using it again now required even more time to prepare, and the power was also much smaller than before. Nangong Miss Mengli healing Zhuge Xun was the best time for him to prepare, and also a great opportunity for a sneak attack.

"Night Spirit, Moon Spirit, Cold Spirit, Light Spirit, Enlightenment Spirit, Underworld Spirit." The Flowing Fire Angry Thunder shot over rapidly. Without any hesitation, Ye Qingyu immediately fused all the spirit beasts, imbuing all their power onto herself. "Six Spirit Protection." After the power was imbued, Ye Qingyu shouted immediately, dark energy surging on her body. Under the reflection of this dark energy, Ye Qingyu appeared incomparably holy. The black energy surged continuously and then erupted, forming a dark goddess with her eyes tightly closed. Although this dark goddess was entirely dark, she also gave people a feeling of being as holy and flawless as Ye Qingyu.

The dark goddess formed, and Ye Qingyu immediately stretched her hands forward, and the dark goddess also stretched her hands forward just like Ye Qingyu. At this moment, the Flowing Fire Angry Thunder also shot in front of Ye Qingyu and the others, slamming heavily into the hands stretched out by the dark goddess, and was blocked outside by the dark goddess.

"Damn it." Brown cursed with hatred in his heart. He knew the power of the Flowing Fire Angry Thunder. The reason he used such a high-profile Flowing Fire Angry Thunder for a sneak attack was not that he didn't know it would be easily discovered. He chose Flowing Fire Angry Thunder because it was powerful and fast. As long as he could use it, even if they were discovered, Ye Qingyu and the others would have no way to dodge and could only take it head-on. According to Brown's prediction, except for a Zhuge Xun in his prime who was prepared, Ye Qingyu and the others could not possibly withstand it, let alone without any preparation. Therefore, as long as he could successfully use the Flowing Fire Angry Thunder, Ye Qingyu and the others would undoubtedly die.

However, it was a pity that Brown did not expect Ye Qingyu to possess such a powerful defensive skill as "Six Spirit Protection," which completely blocked the Flowing Fire Angry Thunder.

"Hoo~~~~." Nangong Miss Mengli let out a long breath, and the healing light disappeared. Clearly, Zhuge Xun's injuries had been healed by her. "Little Xunzi, how do you feel?" After the treatment ended, Nangong Miss Mengli asked.

"Cough, cough, cough. The injuries are much better, but I have no strength in my body," Zhuge Xun replied.

"Although the injuries on your body have recovered, you are currently in a period of weakness because you used a large amount of power before," Ye Qingyu said.

"But, we are currently in battle~~~ cough, cough, cough." Zhuge Xun was clearly worried about the battle.

"Shatter for me." But at this moment, Ye Qingyu's voice came. The dark goddess's tightly closed eyes opened immediately, and then her hands merged, directly shattering the Flowing Fire Angry Thunder.

"Pfft, damn it, retreat." The Flowing Fire Angry Thunder was shattered, and Brown immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, then shouted to retreat, taking Liu Chuan and Liu Xiang with him as they fled.
