Chapter Twenty-Four: Black Flames

  A crimson energy wave suddenly appeared in the air, with thin black cracks visible around it. The violent spatial force emanating from the cracks was causing the four people to constantly retreat in shock. If they were careless and got sucked into the spatial crack, even a strong warrior would be hard-pressed to escape disaster. Only a high-ranking War Emperor could truly ignore the spatial force and move through space unimpeded.

  The body of the Magmarius is extremely distorted, and it can even withstand the ravages of spatial forces. From this, we can see that its defense has already reached the level of a War Emperor.

  "Little brother, run quickly, the Fire Rock King snake has gone mad, if you don't leave now, it will be too late!" The leading man saw Jiang Huan standing there motionless, not retreating a single step, thinking that Jiang Huan had been scared silly, and hastily shouted.

  Jiang Hao glanced at the man, curled his lips into a smile, revealing a row of white teeth, but immediately turned his head back, indifferently staring at the Fire Rock King Snake in front of him.

  The first man's heart skipped a beat, silently thinking "this is not good", wondering if this kid had really gone stupid. Just as he was about to step forward and pull Jiang Huan away, he suddenly saw Jiang Huan slowly extend his right hand, with the palm of his hand slowly radiating a thick black light. The black light slowly rotated into a black disk, deep and terrifying, as if all the light had been absorbed.

  The giant snake suddenly shook its head, and the air wave burst out instantly, rushing straight towards Jiang Hao. In almost no time, the air wave had reached Jiang Hao's face, and along the way, the torn black cracks continuously emitted violent spatial forces, which could be imagined how astonishing this attack was.

  The air waves continued to enlarge in Jiang Hao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a cold smile. With a casual wave of his hand, the black disc flew out slowly, its speed extremely slow, forming a stark contrast with the air waves. The atmosphere was extremely eerie.

  The man in black saw Jiang Hao preparing to resist the terrifying air wave, and couldn't help but shake his head. He had personally experienced it earlier, and although he and his group had managed to withstand the previous air wave, they had all suffered severe injuries. The strange energy had even penetrated their bodies, causing their battle aura to dissipate, leaving them completely powerless. Now, this air wave was clearly much more terrifying than the giant snake's casual strike earlier. He believed that even if Jiang Hao was a hidden high-level expert, he wouldn't be able to withstand it. Moreover, looking at Jiang Hao's youthful appearance, he didn't seem like an absolute top-notch expert at all, and the man in black was filled with doubts.

  While they were stunned, the crimson energy wave had already collided with the black disc thrown by Jiang Hao. The intense explosion that was supposed to happen did not occur at all. The energy wave seemed to be fixed in place by the black disc, and the violent spatial forces constantly emanating from around it made the four people believe once again that this was real - this strange black disc had easily withstood the Fire Rock King Snake's attack.

  "Hiss...hiss."

  The giant snake swung its huge head again, and a red battle energy suddenly poured onto the air wave. The volume of that air wave suddenly expanded, while the black round disc looked a bit comical in comparison.

  "Good riddance."

  Jiang Hao's loud shout, with a reverse swing of his hand, a black awn flew into the black circular disc. It was seen that it started spinning wildly. Looking at the air wave again, there was a faint feeling of being swallowed up. The disc spun faster and faster, and the strange air wave began to weaken. In just an instant, the majestic air wave was completely swallowed up by the black disc.

  The intense collision that was imagined did not occur, it was just a breath of time, and the air wave that could not be withstood by the combined attack of four war masters was resolved so lightly. The black-clothed man in front had a shocked face, seemingly unable to believe what happened before his eyes.

  But to their surprise, the fact is that it happened, and Jiang Huan's eyes also flashed with a hint of excitement. It seems that his master didn't deceive him. This power, although he couldn't control it freely, should be more than enough to deal with these four-stage magic beasts. Is this the strength of the War King?

  The Fire Rock King Snake continued to spit out thin, long threads, but did not continue its attack. Instead, it stared coldly at Jiang Hao, who was completely disproportionate in size compared to itself, revealing a hint of fear and caution, clearly having sensed Jiang Hao's terrifying strength from their earlier confrontation.

  "Haha, what's wrong, scared?" Jiang Huan clenched his fist, gazing at the giant snake in front of him with burning eyes.

  "Hiss."

  It seems to have sensed Jiang Hao's provocation, the Fire Rock King Snake suddenly raised its huge head, and its massive body whirred around, a black flame rising from its tail, slowly spreading to its head, its entire crimson color disappearing, replaced by black. Upon closer inspection, it was a kind of flame that could burn space into nothingness.

  "Everyone get out of the way, Magmar King Snake is about to unleash its terrifying power, get out of the way!"

  Seeing the black flame, the leading man hastily shouted and fled to a distant place without looking back, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

  "You beast, what other tricks do you have, go ahead and use them."

  Jiang Hao's fists clenched, and his entire body slowly rose into the air. A mysterious symbol emerged between his hands, its strokes complex and intricate. Each stroke seemed to stir up a whirlwind in the air, and Jiang Hao's forehead was beaded with sweat, as if this technique consumed a great deal of spiritual energy.

  "Hei Yan, big brother, this is the legendary Hei Yan." The thin man suddenly realized something and shouted loudly.

  "Hmm, Third Brother, you've also recognized it? It's said that this flame can only be grasped by the ancient dragon clan, and can incinerate all things in the world. Although the Flame Rock Giant Snake's flames don't have the power of legend, from its aura, it indeed seems like the legendary Black Flames." After finishing speaking, the leading man looked at Jiang Heng floating in mid-air with a worried expression.

  At this moment, the Fire Rock King Snake was completely covered in black flames, and its body had shrunk by more than half. Despite this, the Fire Rock King Snake's body remained enormous, and its surface had grown black scales that were not snake scales, but larger than them. If one had to say what they resembled, it could be said that they were somewhat like dragon scales.

  The dark flames continued to gather, spreading from the tail of the Fire Rock King Snake to its head, slowly forming a black bead between its eyes. The bead was semi-transparent at first, but as the dark flames poured in, it grew deeper and more profound, as if just one glance would be enough to be swallowed by its mercilessness.

  A moment later, the black flames had stopped spreading, and that black bead had become a completely black dot. The Fire Rock King Snake slowly opened its tightly closed eyes, coldly staring at Jiang Hao in mid-air.

  The black beads rose slowly and floated towards Jiang Hao, the black dots quietly pierced through the void, as if they could penetrate everything.

  A black dot flashed silently across the sky, drifting towards Jiang Hao. The black dot seemed like a spiritual being, darting left and right, jumping up and down, occasionally disappearing into nothingness, only to suddenly reappear. Looking back at Jiang Hao, it seemed as if he hadn't noticed the black dot's approach at all, and was still continuously drawing that mysterious symbol.

  Time seemed to have frozen, the black dot from Huo Yan Wang She to Jiang Hao's time was not very long, but those four people felt as if they had passed through years of time, their bodies were already soaked, although from the outside it looked like this black pearl didn't have much power, however they all understood that this must be Huo Yan Wang She's final killing move, absolutely not comparable to the previous air wave.

  Just as the black dot was floating slowly to Jiang Hao's forehead, less than a foot away, Jiang Hao's long-closed eyes finally opened, revealing a hint of fatigue that was not easily noticeable.

  "Battle Technique: King's Redemption."

  Jiang Hao shouted in a low voice, his hands pushed forward, and the mysterious symbol emerged into the wind, instantly wrapping up the black bead. The sudden change left the four people stunned for a moment, it seemed that Jiang Hao's methods were indeed not simple.

  The black bead was wrapped in, only to sink for a moment before bursting out violently. It actually formed a tiny black snake that spewed out black flames, scorching the surrounding talismans. What's surprising is that the black flame, which claimed to burn everything under the sky, was swallowed up when it touched the talisman. The talisman became even more dazzling after absorbing the black flame, changing from its original silver-white color to emitting a dazzling golden light.

  As the dark flames continued to engulf it, the small snake's body also slowly shrank until it was completely consumed.

  "Hiss...hiss!"

  When the black flames transformed from the little black snake were completely swallowed, the Fire Rock King Snake rolled in agony, and the black color on its body gradually faded away, revealing its tawny yellow body. At this time, its body was covered with cracks, blood gushing out, and its eyes became increasingly lifeless.

  After a bitter struggle and rolling over for a moment, the Fire Rock King Snake finally stopped, its raised head crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  The four-stage demon beast, Huoyan Wangshe, fell here.
