Tian quickly adjusted his rune spear, his gaze sweeping over the Crimson Flame Apostle's movements with a serious expression: "I'll hold him off. You all look for an opportunity. Watch out for his sword; it carries the aura of the Dragon King."

"Understood." Chu Zihang nodded, and the cyan-green light of the Dragon Cutter suddenly intensified. He pushed off with his feet and transformed into a blur as he rushed towards the Crimson Flame Apostle.

The Crimson Flame Apostle sneered, lightly waving his longsword, sending a blazing sword aura hurtling towards Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang dodged to the side, his Dragon Cleaver slicing through the air like a streak of light, precisely striking the Crimson Flame Apostle's flank.

However, the Crimson Flame Apostle moved with astonishing speed. He raised his longsword and effortlessly blocked Chu Zihang's attack. The collision of flames and emerald light stirred up a violent energy fluctuation, causing both of them to retreat simultaneously.

“Not bad power,” the Crimson Flame Apostle sneered, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, “but it’s far from enough.”

Caesar launched a surprise attack from the flank, the lightning of his runic sword aimed directly at the back of the Crimson Flame Apostle. However, the apostle seemed to have anticipated this, and with a backhand swing of his longsword, a barrier of flames suddenly rose up, blocking Caesar's attack.

"Damn it, this flame can even block lightning!" Caesar gritted his teeth and growled, quickly retreating.

Tian seized the opportunity and fired continuously from a distance, the beams of his rune gun aimed directly at the Crimson Flame Apostle's chest. However, those beams were engulfed by flames before they could reach him, as if disappearing into an endless abyss.

"This flame is like it has a life of its own!" Tian cursed under his breath, as the energy in his rune gun gradually ran out.

Lu Mingfei stood at the back of the group, his legs trembling slightly, but he still gripped his short knife tightly, trying to calm himself down. His gaze swept across the battlefield, his mind struggling to find his place.

The Crimson Flame Apostle remained calm, raising his hand and unleashing countless fiery blades that shot towards the four. Chu Zihang and Caesar swiftly dodged, their Dragon Cutter and Rune Sword flashing in succession, cleaving the approaching blades one by one. Tian also used his Rune Gun to fire and restrain them, but the sheer number of fire blades was overwhelming, turning the entire altar into a fiery cage.

"Lu Mingfei, get moving!" Tian shouted. "Don't just stand there doing nothing!"

Lu Mingfei jolted, instinctively raising his short knife to barely block a burning blade, but the force of the impact sent him sprawling to the ground. He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with terror: "What...what can I really do?"

The Crimson Flame Apostle noticed Lu Mingfei's disheveled state. He sneered, raised his burning longsword, and pointed it directly at Lu Mingfei: "It seems there is a weakest lamb here. You will taste despair first."

Chu Zihang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he rushed forward, his Dragon Slash transforming into a streak of cyan light, blocking Lu Mingfei's path. He said coldly, "He's one of ours, you have no right to touch him."

A hint of amusement flashed in the eyes of the Crimson Flame Apostle: "Interesting. Let me see how long you can hold out against him."

He swung his sword down, and flames surged towards Chu Zihang like a flood. Chu Zihang did not retreat; the light of the Dragon Cutter suddenly erupted, colliding head-on with the flames. The two forces intertwined in mid-air, creating a deafening explosion that shook the entire altar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Caesar launched an attack from the flank, his rune sword aimed directly at the Crimson Flame Apostle's shoulder. However, the Crimson Flame Apostle merely snorted coldly, swinging his longsword backhand, transforming flames into a burning shield that once again blocked Caesar's attack.

"This guy's power is too strong!" Tian gritted his teeth and roared. His rune gun had exhausted its energy, but it still couldn't shake the flame barrier of the Crimson Flame Apostle.

Chu Zihang gripped the Dragon Cutter tightly, his gaze icy: "If we continue to restrain him, we'll eventually find a weakness."

However, at that moment, the aura of the Crimson Flame Apostle suddenly intensified, his flames becoming even more ferocious, engulfing the entire altar in flames as if the end of the world had arrived. Chu Zihang's expression darkened slightly; he felt an overwhelming pressure.

"Next, it will be your end!" The Crimson Flame Apostle sneered, his figure gradually enveloped in flames, transforming into a scorching light that rushed towards the crowd with earth-shattering power.

The atmosphere of a decisive battle was overwhelming.

The Crimson Flame Apostle transformed into a burning meteor, hurtling straight at Chu Zihang. Flames surged forth like a raging sea, turning the entire altar into a fiery hell. Chu Zihang's gaze was icy. He raised his Dragon Cutter high, and a burst of emerald light erupted, like a soaring azure dragon, directly confronting the towering sea of ​​fire.

The blade clashed head-on with the flames, instantly erupting in a blinding light. A bluish-green power clashed with the flames, creating a series of booming sounds that cracked the ground. Chu Zihang stood firmly on the ground, his shoulders bracing against the impact of the flames, crushing the stone bricks beneath his feet.

"Chu Zihang, hold on!" Caesar charged out from the other side, his rune sword flashing with lightning, slashing fiercely at the flank of the Crimson Flame Apostle. His movements were as swift as lightning, but the Crimson Flame Apostle seemed to be prepared, its flames extending into a shield as if they were alive, forcefully blocking Caesar's attack.

"You mortals are truly stubborn and incorrigible." The Crimson Flame Apostle sneered, and with a sudden swing of his flaming longsword, a violent wave of fire swept out, forcing Caesar back and simultaneously forcing Chu Zihang to take a half step back.

"Damn it!" Caesar gritted his teeth, steadied himself, and charged forward again. His rune sword drew a blue arc of lightning, slashing fiercely at the head of the Crimson Flame Apostle. At the same time, Tian aimed from behind, firing two beams of energy from his rune spear, aiming straight for the Crimson Flame Apostle's chest.

The Crimson Flame Apostle's gaze sharpened slightly. His body flickered like a ghost, and his flaming longsword swept out in a scorching arc of light. Caesar's lightning arc was engulfed by the fire wave, and the energy beam from the sky was blocked by the flame barrier, only causing a few sparks to fly.

"This guy has absolutely no weaknesses!" Tian said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Lu Mingfei stood at the back of the group, his short sword trembling slightly with tension. He watched as Chu Zihang and Caesar launched attack after attack, only to be consistently suppressed by the flames of the Crimson Flame Apostles. He gripped his sword tightly, his gaze fixed on the surging flames beneath the feet of the Crimson Flame Apostles, a mad thought flashing through his mind.

"Maybe... I can give it a try?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, then took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and rushed forward.

"Lu Mingfei, what are you doing!" Tian couldn't help but shout when he saw him suddenly rush out.

"Let's take a gamble!" Lu Mingfei shouted as he turned around, his steps unwavering as he lunged towards the Crimson Flame Apostle. He lowered his head, desperately trying to ignore the intense heat emanating from him, and raised his short sword high, thrusting it with all his might towards the Crimson Flame Apostle's lower abdomen.

The Crimson Flame Apostle sneered, his flaming longsword sweeping lightly, unleashing a raging wave of fire that hurtled towards Lu Mingfei. Though Lu Mingfei's movements were clumsy, he swiftly dodged at the last moment, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. His short sword pierced the Crimson Flame Apostle's fiery barrier, but the intense heat forced it to retreat.

"Hmph, a death throes." The Crimson Flame Apostle said disdainfully, raising his longsword once more, the flames transforming into a giant fire serpent that lunged straight at Lu Mingfei.

"Lu Mingfei, get down!" Chu Zihang shouted, and a green light suddenly burst forth. The Dragon Slash swept out with a sharp blade wind, accurately hitting the fire snake and cleaving it in two.

Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to roll to the side, panting heavily, his face full of terror: "This guy... he's completely unreasonable!"

"Now is not the time for nonsense!" Caesar roared, and the rune sword slashed at the Crimson Flame Apostle once again. Lightning and flame collided in the air, stirring up countless sparks.

Chu Zihang calmly observed the Crimson Flame Apostle's movements, his gaze sharp as a knife. His hands gripped the Dragon Cutter tightly, and a bluish-green light gradually gathered on the blade, as if waiting for a crucial moment.

"He's protecting his chest!" Chu Zihang suddenly shouted, his voice filled with unwavering decisiveness. "That's an opening!"

Upon hearing this, Caesar swiftly adjusted his direction, the lightning from his rune sword transforming into a blinding straight line, aimed directly at the Crimson Flame Apostle's chest. Tian also seized the opportunity, his rune spear precisely locking onto the Crimson Flame Apostle's chest, firing several beams in succession.

The Crimson Flame Apostle's expression finally changed. He swiftly swung his sword to block Caesar and Tian's attacks, but failed to notice that Chu Zihang had already closed in on his side. The Dragon Cutter, glowing with a bluish-green light, sliced ​​through the air, aiming straight for the Crimson Flame Apostle's chest!

“It’s over,” Chu Zihang said in a low voice, the blade piercing the Crimson Flame Apostle’s body without any resistance. A burst of emerald green power instantly enveloped him in a dazzling light.

The Crimson Flame Apostle let out a painful roar, the flames on his body gradually dying down, and his longsword fell limply to the ground. His body transformed into countless sparks in the light, dissipating into the air with the wind.

Chu Zihang slowly sheathed his sword, his cold gaze sweeping over the now calm altar. His voice was low and deep: "There are even stronger enemies ahead. We have no time to rest."

Everyone nodded, and despite being almost exhausted, they had no choice but to move forward towards the final seal deep within the altar. The true end was now before them.
