Chapter 45 - One More Shot

Although Huo Wu's attack was deflected by Bai Yan, she didn't feel discouraged.

Quanyi had anticipated this situation and made arrangements.

"Xiao Wu, proceed as planned," Quanyi whispered to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu immediately took out a new stone from her belt.

"Flame Bullet."

Bai Yan waved her right arm, sending three feather arrows towards Huo Wu's Flame Bullet. Then, she rapidly ascended, anticipating Huo Wu's continuous attacks.

"Bang!"

"What?"

This collision didn't result in the large explosion Bai Yan had expected; it was just a simple Flame Bullet.

Did Quanyi forget? Bai Yan wondered inwardly.

No, impossible.

Bai Yan didn't believe Quanyi would make a mistake at this moment.

That stone is a decoy, a fake. Bai Yan quickly realized this.

Bai Yan's lips curled up; she guessed this must be Quanyi's strategy.

Mixing in fake stones could disrupt Bai Yan's judgment and conserve Soul Power, allowing them to last longer.

Too tricky. Bai Yan found Quanyi's strength and strategy very troublesome.

Bai Yan hadn't wanted to expend too much Soul Power because, after dealing with Huo Wu, she still had to face Quanyi.

But now, dealing with Huo Wu was also consuming a lot of Soul Power, which Bai Yan felt was not worth it.

"Flame Feather Assault!"

However, Bai Yan didn't hold back, going all out, as it was the surest method.

She repeated her old trick, wanting to use her Soul Power advantage to completely exhaust Huo Wu's Soul Power.

Once Huo Wu's Soul Power was depleted, the two wouldn't be able to use their combination Soul Skill, and then Bai Yan could focus on dealing with Quanyi.

Facing Bai Yan Teacher's fierce attack, Huo Wu concentrated intensely, but she felt that Bai Yan Teacher's offensive wasn't as fierce as yesterday.

In fact, Huo Wu's feeling was correct. This was because Huo Wu and Quanyi's secondary ejection had greatly extended their attack range, allowing them to directly attack Bai Yan.

Therefore, Bai Yan had to divert some of her energy to defend.

This also led to a decrease in Bai Yan's attack power, making it easier for Huo Wu to cope.

However, the situation was still unfavorable for Huo Wu and Quanyi because Huo Wu's Soul Power was a weakness.

Both Huo Wu and Bai Yan were very cautious. Bai Yan only dared to probe carefully at the extreme range of Flame Feather Assault.

Time passed little by little. Huo Wu's attacks failed to work, and she had very little Soul Power and stones left.

"Xiao Yi, I don't have much Soul Power left."

Huo Wu urged Quanyi anxiously.

At this moment, Quanyi was also staring intently at Bai Yan's figure. Bai Yan's figure was high above, showing no signs of descending.

She only descended when attacking, and she would immediately ascend after using a Soul Skill. Bai Yan Teacher was very cautious; Quanyi understood that she was guarding against Huo Wu's combo moves.

Quanyi sensed that Huo Wu only had two Rhino's Marks left, and Huo Wu's Soul Power could only launch two more attacks.

"Xiao Wu, get ready; whether we succeed or not depends on this last shot!"

Hearing Quanyi's command, Huo Wu immediately took out the last two stones imprinted with the Rhino's Mark.

She was going to replicate yesterday's Double Flame Bullet, but this time it was an enhanced version fused with the Rhino's Mark.

Bai Yan immediately noticed Huo Wu's plan. She realized that Huo Wu's Soul Power was on the verge of exhaustion and that she was planning a desperate gamble.

Bai Yan flapped her arms quickly, immediately creating distance.

Huo Wu's Double Flame Bullet had many more variables because of the addition of Quanyi's Rhino's Mark.

With the power of Quanyi's Rhino's Mark, if Bai Yan were to be hit, her level 20 Soul Power would not be able to withstand the explosion at such close range.

However, Bai Yan quickly noticed that Huo Wu had not condensed Soul Power, but was holding the two Flame Bullets in her hands.

The threat, like two long-range cannons, was enough to make Bai Yan retreat.

Huo Wu was waiting for the moment Bai Yan descended, and realizing this, Bai Yan dared not act rashly.

Damn it, I can't keep going like this.

Bai Yan's expression became somewhat solemn. She noticed that most of the time had already passed, because this cautious tactic had cost Bai Yan a lot of time.

Bai Yan was certain that she could use her First Soul Skill to offset the first Flame Bullet, but the explosion of the Flame Bullet would block Bai Yan's vision. At that time, countless rock fragments and sparks would explode in front of Bai Yan, making it difficult to aim at the second one.

Even worse, Quanyi's Rhino's Mark, unlike Huo Wu's Flame Bullet, could be detonated at will. Even if Bai Yan could dodge the stones, Quanyi could still control the timing of the explosion.

Huo Wu and Bai Yan were at a stalemate, both closely watching each other's every move, trying to find a flaw.

No!

As time passed, Bai Yan realized that she was now in a passive state.

Because there was a time limit to this battle, Huo Wu could continue the stalemate, but Bai Yan could not.

The current situation was very unfavorable for Bai Yan.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Yan made up her mind and resolutely flew downwards.

"Here she comes."

Huo Wu and Quanyi perked up and watched Bai Yan.

Bai Yan attacked first, with three Flame Feather Assaults coming.

Huo Wu concentrated all of her remaining Soul Power into her hands, and flames instantly enveloped the stones, forming two orange-yellow fireballs.

The two Flame Bullets were launched one after another.

Huo Wu's first Flame Bullet heavily collided with Bai Yan's attack. Quanyi did not hesitate and decisively detonated the Rhino's Mark.

*"Bang!"*

In an instant, dazzling firelight illuminated the entire sky.

The intense light made Bai Yan squint, and the close-range flash made it difficult for Bai Yan to see clearly.

However, Bai Yan no longer needed to open her eyes wide to find the second Flame Bullet.

She did not return to the sky as before.

Instead, she accelerated her dive diagonally downwards. Bai Yan used her right wing to protect her face, and the splashing sparks and stone fragments could not hurt her at all.

Bai Yan changed her behavior pattern at the last moment.

The Flame Bullets were a straight-line attack, and Quanyi's Rhino's Mark could only move forward in a straight line and could not retreat.

The flash did make Bai Yan suffer, but the flash was equal, it would equally illuminate everyone, including Quanyi and Huo Wu.

Bai Yan turned around and used the flash to hide her figure.

*"Bang!"*

The second explosion came from behind Bai Yan.

As expected!

Bai Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Wu's combo was indeed outstanding, but it was still a bit too inexperienced. Facing a Soul Master with far more practical experience than herself, using the same tactics, Bai Yan could only say that Huo Wu's practical experience was slightly lacking.

Bai Yan immediately lowered her wings and looked at Huo Wu, wanting to confirm whether Huo Wu still had the strength to resist.

However, the moment her eyes turned to Huo Wu, a red fireball came into Bai Yan's view.

Bai Yan couldn't believe it. It would take time for Huo Wu to re-condense the Flame Bullet, and according to her deduction, Huo Wu should have exhausted her Soul Power by now.

Bai Yan took a closer look and saw that the person standing behind the fireball was not Huo Wu, but Quanyi.

How is this possible?

Bai Yan wanted to try her best to control her figure, but the distance was too close, and her descent speed was very fast. Bai Yan could only raise her arms again to block.

Bai Yan felt that this scene was familiar.

Quanyi had been waiting for a long time, and Bai Yan's every move was completely seen through by Quanyi. No, more accurately, Quanyi deliberately guided Bai Yan, allowing Bai Yan to fly here personally.

"Sorry, Bai Yan Teacher."

The fireball condensed in Quanyi's hand was an imitation version of the Flame Bullet.

At the critical moment, Quanyi would not be soft-hearted. The Flame Bullet had already been charged and ready to go.

"Flame Bullet!"

The red meteor shone brightly, carrying a crimson tail flame, and slammed into Bai Yan fiercely.
