Chapter 27 The Demon Lu Nian, the Final Strike!

Lu Nian's body continued to expand, bursting his uniform. His muscles were clearly visible, with veins bulging. Claws grew from his hands and feet, and the blood-red markings on his body were exceptionally conspicuous.

Lu Nian's once resolute face had now transformed into a monstrous appearance, with demons whispering in his mind, swallowing up all his reason.

At this moment, the monster Lu Nian was acting solely on his deepest obsession.

The terrifying aura emanating from the demon Lu Nian made the less skilled mages behind Hua Yu feel breathless.

The rebel mages weren't much better off, even though they had seen countless high-ranking mages turn into monsters.

However, the gap in strength cannot be bridged by experience alone.

Hua Yu watched as Lu Nian transformed from a living, breathing human being into a monster devoid of any ideology.

"If it weren't for this person, I might have been captured by these people and turned into this, right?" Mo Fan looked at the terrifying appearance of the demon Lu Nian and felt a wave of fear.

"Why bother? It must be so painful to become like this. But even with the help of the Blood Elixir, you are no match for me!" Hua Yu sighed softly.

Hua Yu raised his right hand, and brilliant flames surged wildly around him, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

With the appearance of Emperor Flame, the evil aura emanating from Demon Lu Nian seemed to sense its nemesis and was suppressed by the aura emanating from Emperor Flame.

Mo Fan and the others felt much more comfortable, and just as they were about to look up at the battle,

A dazzling curtain of fire appeared before them, then transformed into a barrier that separated them from the battlefield. Their vision was completely blocked by the Emperor Flame Barrier, and they could no longer perceive anything outside.

After protecting the group of people behind him who could be considered a burden, Hua Yu turned his attention to the demon Lu Nian.

Demon Lu Nian and Hua Yu ascended into the air and began a fierce battle, which gave the rebel mages an opportunity to head towards the Emperor Flame Barrier.

Inside the Emperor Flame Barrier, they felt no discomfort, but the rebel mages outside the barrier who wanted to take the opportunity to kill these young mages suffered the consequences.

They tried to attack the Emperor Flame Barrier, but their magical attacks only caused ripples of flame when they landed inside, having no effect whatsoever on the barrier.

But they were in big trouble. The Imperial Flame Barrier seemed to have a mind of its own. After absorbing their magic, the Imperial Flame Barrier condensed into a giant battle axe and cleaved down at them.

The moment the Emperor Flame Battle Axe struck, the fire elements in the world let out a sharp howl. The rebel mages were horrified to find that their defensive magic was torn apart like paper the instant it came into contact with the battle axe.

Before the rebel mage Jiang Yi could react, he was engulfed by flames, and the rest of the people behind him were also swallowed up by the flames and disappeared from the world.

A blood-red gem fell to the ground, and a large fiery hand picked it up before retracting it back into the barrier.

--------

In the sky, flames swept across the horizon, turning the entire area above Jinlin City into a fiery inferno, with scorching heat surging and churning among the clouds.

The demon Lu Nian's body was covered in hard rock, and the blood-red patterns on his body emitted an eerie red light.

"Roar--!"

With a piercing whooshing sound, the demon Lu Nian suddenly sprang into action. Its claws tore through the air, leaving five scarlet afterimages in its wake. The attack was as fast as lightning; before the claws even arrived, the sharp energy had already plowed several deep trenches into the ground.

A golden glint flashed in Hua Yu's eyes, and his figure shifted half a step to the side like a phantom. His sharp claws grazed the hem of his clothes, and the resulting gale made the stray hairs on his forehead flutter. In the instant they passed each other, Hua Yu raised his right hand slightly, and a dazzling seven-colored flame suddenly burst forth from his palm.

"Boom—!!!!" The giant fist formed by Emperor Flame slammed solidly into the chest of Demon Lu Nian. The seemingly indestructible rock armor cracked instantly, and countless fragments of stone vaporized directly in the high temperature.

The massive body of the demon Lu Nian flew backward, carving a trench a hundred meters long in the ground. When his naked body came into contact with Di Yan, it made a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.

Immediately afterwards, colorful constellations shimmered brightly around Huayu.

"Let's play some serious magic today!" Hua Yu said with a smile in his eyes.

"Emperor's Flame - Heavenly Flame Funeral - Hellfire Stone!"

Hua Yu's voice was like the sound of judgment, echoing under the burning sky. The moment his constellation was completed, the flames in the entire sky suddenly contracted, turning into a huge meteorite, which crashed down with a seven-colored tail of flames!

The demon Lu Nian roared to the sky, his rock armor growing wildly, instantly forming a pitch-black demonic mountain, trying to withstand the magic by force.

"boom--!!!"

The moment the fiery meteorite struck, a devastating shockwave swept across the entire city of Jinlin, causing the ground to churn like ocean waves. Countless building debris was hurled into the sky, only to be reduced to ashes in the scorching flames.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan and the others, who were hiding inside the Emperor Flame Barrier, lost their balance due to the ground shaking and fell to the ground.

"What the hell?" Mo Fan forced himself to sit up. The tremors on the ground were clearly not caused by nature.

Zhao Manyan rolled over and sat on the ground, replying, "Obviously, this commotion was caused by the fighting outside."

"I wonder if he can even win. Hey, at least let us see the battle!" Mo Fan complained to the Emperor Flame Barrier, which he couldn't see anything about.

"Don't worry, even if that person can't be beaten, he can call people over to fight!" Zhao Manyan recognized Hua Yu as soon as he revealed his identity.

Therefore, he felt no tension whatsoever. There was almost no one in the Dragon Kingdom that Hua Yu couldn't mobilize. Even if he couldn't mobilize them, the people behind him could.

"Old Zhao, what exactly is that person's identity? Who exactly is Hua Zhanhong?" Mo Fan asked, voicing his inner questions.

He hadn't asked before due to circumstances, but now that he had some free time, he might as well satisfy his curiosity.

"Well, are you familiar with the Mu family, where Mu Ningxue belongs, and my family, the Zhao family?" Zhao Manyan asked.

Mo Fan nodded.

"The clan's power is already considerable, but when facing outsiders within the country, they still have to put on a smiling face," Zhao Manyan said mysteriously.

Zhao Manyan did not attend Huayu's coming-of-age ceremony last year; instead, his elder brother went. With the eldest son still alive, he, the second son, could only stand a little further back.

After Zhao Manyan's explanation, Mo Fan understood just how distinguished Hua Yu's status truly was.

However, the fact that such a distinguished person knew Zhan Kong, a military intelligence officer from a small place like Bocheng, made him wonder if Zhan Kong also had some extraordinary identity.

After all, the name Zhan Kong is too strange. It doesn't sound like a person's name at all; it sounds more like a code name.

outside.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a huge crater appeared before Hua Yu, but the figure of the demon Lu Nian had vanished.
