Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#944 - Phoenix Head Fire Girl

"Sorry to keep you waiting ~"

The Fire Woman was now bathed in golden-red light, the flames tightly surrounding her having transformed directly into a suit of solid armor, closely adhering to her graceful and tall figure.

Her white hair, bathed in the brilliant light, scattered and fluttered, shimmering and glowing, like a female war god.

Her originally perfect and stunning face was now covered by an exquisite phoenix-crested mask made of flames.

She held two long blades in her hands, one shorter, only about half a meter long, pure white, and with a simple and ancient design; the other was pure black, nearly two meters long, a widened and thickened Tang sword.

At this moment, the Fire Woman was suspended in mid-air, a hundred meters away from Liang Yue, standing still, her eyes fixed on Liang Yue who remained seated on the rock, her eyes full of intense fighting spirit!

"Rest and recover a bit, I can wait a few more days for you."

Looking at the woman opposite, Liang Yue's lips curled slightly, and he said unhurriedly.

"Thank you, but no need. It's already been delayed long enough, let's just start the competition."

"Boom~!!"

Accompanied by a huge explosion, a circular pillar of fire several hundred meters thick suddenly spewed out from under the earth, instantly reaching thousands of meters into the sky.

This flame was pure white, its heat chasing the sun. Liang Yue felt as if he could detect a trace of strange power of law within it.

This flame carried a hint of holiness, vaguely filled with the two extremely contradictory forces of vigorous life and destruction.

However, the eruption of this sky-reaching fire pillar was just an initial move.

Also bathed in the flames, the Fire Woman raised the long blade in her hand at the instant the fire pillar shot into the sky, making a seemingly simple downward chop towards Liang Yue's location.

As the blade briefly chopped down, a blade light several hundred meters long instantly popped out, and the originally sun-obscuring flames actually slowed down at this moment.

It seemed as if the blade light was absorbing the power of the surrounding fiery pillar at this moment~

Unfortunately, the Fire Woman's strike ultimately did not land on Liang Yue's head, but instead, at the moment of chopping down, the blade's momentum turned, changing to a horizontal cut, and instead slashing at her own side.

Because at this moment, Liang Yue also made his move~

"Crack~"

Accompanied by a muffled cracking sound, the originally surging fire pillar was instantly divided into countless segments.

Scattered and disordered spatial cracks rapidly spread in the flames, instantly dividing the surrounding raging fire pillar.

Moreover, accompanied by the spread of the spatial cracks, a dense and unusually lush golden-purple root system instantly emerged from the void.

The front end of the root system was as thin as silk threads, like hundreds of millions of strands, like spiritual snakes making various undirected movements, spreading at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed.

They either intertwined with each other, assembled and merged, or parted ways, with their growth directions completely different, covering the sky and earth as they enveloped the Fire Woman.

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by the brief sound of the sky cracking, they had fallen from the distant top of the sky to the side of the Fire Woman's head!

Finally, the Fire Woman's halfway horizontal cut struck this piece of golden-purple tree root.

But with just one contact, this fiery and solid blade light was distorted by the seemingly weak tree roots.

To be precise, the blade light had not even touched the tree roots when it was decomposed by a strange force.

Subsequently, the rigid and domineering blade light was directly crushed into countless segments by this force, and instantly decomposed into the purest energy, which was then digested and absorbed.

Even the blazing heat that chased the sun was directly taken for its own use, turned into hundreds of millions of strands, absorbed into the root system above the sky, and finally introduced into the void at the other end of the spatial crack.

Seeing this situation at this moment, the Fire Woman's originally war-filled eyes suddenly stagnated, and a hint of disbelief instantly emerged from the depths of her eyes, as if she had not expected this scene to appear at all.

However, this woman had great opportunities after all. Having traveled the heavens for many years, she had extremely rich combat experience.

The strangeness in her heart could not disrupt her own combat instincts. In an instant, she disappeared from the spot, and when she reappeared, she was already thousands of meters away.

In fact, when they reached the realm of her and Liang Yue, their reaction speed had already exceeded the cognition of ordinary people.

Their battle was destined to only occur in the blink of an eye.

If it were not affected by some uncontrollable factors, or deliberately indulged and intentionally done, in the current plane world.

To be precise, on the current Earth, there are basically no people who are fortunate enough to watch this selection competition......

"Have you seen clearly, what is the principle of his move just now? Summoning roots from the void, is it summoning a powerful creature, some special means, or the most troublesome one?"

The Fire Woman, who believed that she had already hidden outside Liang Yue's attack range, was also slightly moved as she looked at the large spatial cracks diagonally above her, as well as the hundreds of millions of roots that had emerged, as if she was contacting someone.

"Didn't see clearly......"

"Vision is obstructed, unable to judge."

"I didn't even react!"

"Dangerous, can't be complacent, and can't have any reservations."

"Indeed, can't be negligent, it is recommended to directly activate the strongest combat state."

"The blade light was instantly shattered, and it seems to have been absorbed as well. You should pray for your own good with this method......"

"Damn! Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up, take advantage of the other party......"

"You can try physical attacks, don't use energy!"

......

However, at the moment when the other party was thinking and communicating, Liang Yue did not intend to stop.

Since the war has already begun, it is bound to go all out, and dragging things out has never been his style......

"Crack~" "Crack~" "Crack~"......

In the next instant, accompanied by a series of muffled cracking sounds.

Dozens of golden-purple palm prints, each ten feet long, suddenly struck out from the small hilltop where only sparks remained, either as fists or palms, or pinching handprints.

In an instant, they pressed towards her from various directions and angles in front of the Fire Woman.

The speed was as fast as light and electricity, as if a screen full of divine light suddenly appeared, instantly filling the Fire Woman's entire vision.

At the same time, accompanied by the bursts of brief and rapid sky-cracking sounds, the sky above the Fire Woman's head also shattered into a large piece.

The sky, which was originally covered with cracks, completely shattered at this moment, revealing a piece of dark and chaotic spatial turbulence.

And in the depths of the void, countless pieces, which would make people dizzy at a glance, of golden-purple roots, also covered down at the moment of the sky cracking.

In an instant, they enveloped the entire sky in the field of vision, endless, dense, and pouring down from all directions above the head!

A suffocating pressure also descended from the void along with the tree roots at this moment. The air seemed to have completely solidified into a solid, causing the Fire Woman to feel powerless in her heart.

"Just after a single exchange, she is restricted everywhere. It seems that she and the other party are not opponents of the same level......"

Unconsciously, these words popped into her mind.

Through the high phoenix-crested mask, a pair of beautiful eyes also appeared somewhat scattered.

However, in the next instant, the woman's eyes narrowed again, and the intense fighting spirit in the depths of her eyes reignited, and the pride in her heart did not allow her to bow her head and admit defeat, let alone allow her to doubt herself.

"Then~ fight to the death!"
