Chapter 404: The Fire King Is Defeated, a Chance for Survival in a Desperate Situation!

With a loud bang that shook the earth.

The already shaky palace began to collapse completely.

Cracks quickly spread on the walls of the palace.

Like a torn scroll.

The originally towering and magnificent dome was now shattered like a broken eggshell, and large pieces of stone slabs fell to the ground.

Then, the entire palace collapsed.

However.

Whether it was Edward or Shane, they didn't care about the collapsed buildings around them, and only regarded each other as targets that must be killed.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the swords of the two collided without reservation.

A visible ripple of secret power spread wildly around the collision point.

[Void Secret Power] and the Law of Analysis were fighting at a more microscopic level.

[Void Secret Power] has the ability to assimilate and devour other secret powers.

And the Law of Analysis, while in contact with it, deciphers the properties and characteristics of the Void Secret Power.

The two kinds of secret powers, which were distinct but had something in common, collided with each other as the two fought again and again.

The aftermath of the waves turned the rocks that fell near them into powder.

No wreckage of the palace could reach the two of them.

However.

Strictly speaking.

In the clash of the two secret powers, Shane's Void Secret Power was actually slightly inferior.

After all.

The gap in rank was here.

Even though Shane used the [Peeping Eyes] to vaguely glimpse a corner of the [Great Law] and thus mastered part of the power of the law.

But he did not break through to the legendary realm after all.

The secret power had not yet completed the final sublimation and transformation.

In the confrontation with Edward, it was inevitable that he showed one or two disadvantages.

However.

Shane also had his own advantages.

That was... he was not fighting alone!

Beside Shane, there was also Karles who provided him with surging power.

This improved his already abnormal physical fitness.

This gave him the capital to compete with the legend.

Not far away.

Jane has been using her "information warfare" tactics to output one piece of filthy taboo knowledge after another to Edward.

It is equivalent to constantly attacking him mentally.

Edward felt a series of stabbing pains in his mind, and the application of the analysis law was not smooth.

On the other side.

William and Latiwen each used their own unique secret techniques to try to bring some support to Shane.

——On the way, William's injuries had been mostly healed by Latiwen, and it no longer affected his normal actions.

At this time.

William whispered obscure spells in his mouth.

A deep light emerged in the depths of his eyes.

Then, several dark and thick tentacles twisted out from his shadow.

These tentacles were covered with strange patterns, like ancient and evil runes flowing on them.

The tip of the tentacles flashed with strange light, like a pair of strange eyes spying on its prey.

Then, the deep tentacles attacked Edward's back silently.

At the same time.

Latiwen's young face was full of solemnity, as if there was a holy light gradually seeping out from his body.

His hands were like a smart bird, dancing rapidly in the air, weaving complex and mysterious light patterns.

The holy and blazing light lit up and surrounded him, like a rising sun.

Then.

The light gathered around him became more and more dazzling, as if countless stars were condensed here.

Latiwen himself was just an ordinary person, but because of the characteristics of the [Glow Container], he obtained a huge amount of light secret power from the Lord of Light.

And now.

He thought that this was the time to fully exert this power!

Under Latiwen's unreserved promotion, the power of this light even reached the legendary level.

The next moment.

Latiwen shouted loudly.

The voice resounded like a bell, and the light gathered in his hands rushed towards Edward like a torrent.

Whether it was William or Latiwen, the power they used came from the gods they believed in.

It contained a part of the power of the gods.

In terms of the level of secret power alone, it was not inferior to Edward.

Therefore, facing the attacks of the two of them.

Even Edward could not ignore it easily.

With a "hiss".

An invisible and intangible decomposition force field formed on Edward's body, trying to decompose all the secret power approaching him.

Several dark tentacles were decomposed into countless tiny particles before they could touch Edward's body.

And the torrent of light shot by Latiwen was temporarily blocked outside this protective shield.

However, this does not mean that William and the others' attacks were useless.

Their offensive did divert some of Edward's attention.

Even some of the profound secret power and the secret power of brilliance penetrated into the inside of this protective shield!

At this moment.

A special "dot" suddenly appeared in Shane's [[Peeping Eyes]].

He judged intuitively that this "dot" was most likely Edward's fatal flaw at this moment!

But it was different from the key points that were found through searching and screening in the past.

The appearance of this "point" was due to Jane, Latiwen, William... and even the collapse of this palace.

All these factors combined together made Edward reveal such a flaw at this moment.

And such an opportunity is undoubtedly fleeting!

So, Shane did not hesitate, "Double Ship Soul" "Storm Power", Carlles's power was fully pulled... all the means that could bring improvement were exerted.

Pushing his strength and momentum to a new peak.

With a low roar.

Shane gathered all the strength of his body from the soles of his feet, along his legs and waist, and then quickly transferred to his arms.

All the strength, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, was concentrated on the tip of the black sword.

The black sword was wrapped in a thousand pounds of force, whistling and stabbing at the "point" on Edward's body!

Ding——

An extremely long loud noise came.

Shane opened his eyes wide and looked at Edward in front of him.

I saw a silver-gray light shield appeared on Edward's chest.

But at this time, the tip of the black sword had penetrated the light shield and seemed to have pierced Edward's chest.

"Puff!"

Then, Edward opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His breath weakened visibly.

However, Shane's mood gradually sank to the bottom.

Because...

Although this sword caused Edward considerable injuries, it did not kill him directly!

Sure enough.

The next moment.

Edward's body suddenly disappeared in front of Shane, and appeared dozens of meters away like a flash.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became colder.

"It seems that I did underestimate you."

Edward looked around at the many members who had infiltrated the operation and said coldly.

"In this case, I will no longer fight you with conventional means."

Before he finished speaking, a string of bracelets on his wrist suddenly lit up with bright and dazzling light.

Seeing this scene, Shane's pupils shrank immediately.

He recognized the gems on those bracelets.

That was the existence called "Command Stone" by the members of the [Truth Society].

The members of the [Truth Society] seemed to be able to use the [Command Stone] to forcibly control the replicas they created.

And Shane naturally did not forget.

In this burning prosperous city, there are still an unknown number of copies of the Fire King!

Buzz——

Just as Shane expected.

As the light on Edward's bracelet lit up, a clear vibration immediately came from the sea of ​​fire not far away.

Then.

One after another, figures wearing black robes, like ghosts, appeared in the sea of ​​fire.

They were the copies of the Fire King summoned by Edward.

It is not difficult to see.

The surrounding flames not only failed to hurt them, but gradually attached to them and drilled under their black robes.

It was as if...

These black-robed people were absorbing the power of this fire!

Seeing this, Shane took a breath of cool air.

At this time, he suddenly understood Edward's purpose of letting these copies of the Fire King be placed in the sea of ​​fire instead of taking them directly to the palace!

This fire that swept the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was originally the work of the Fire King.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

In other words.

These flames naturally contain part of the power of the Fire King.

And the Fire King replicas created by the [Truth Society] can undoubtedly absorb the power of this fire and become more powerful.

Or in other words...

Become closer to the Fire King!

Xia En's eyes swept through the sea of ​​fire and found that there were at least dozens of replicas.

Although most of the replicas have defects and cannot fully grasp the power of the Fire King, their ranks are generally at the fifth and sixth levels.

But after absorbing the fire of the Fire King, they will undoubtedly become more difficult and thorny.

If they are surrounded by them.

Xia En and his party will most likely be entangled by them.

And don't forget.

There is also the powerful Edward on the side, who is eyeing them covetously.

It can be said.

The situation that had a chance of winning before.

It was reversed in an instant and developed towards the direction of collapse.

The person with the advantage in numbers changed from them to Edward!

And.

This was not the worst thing.

I saw on the side.

The shocking battle between Augustine and the Fire King had also come to an end.

There was a loud bang!

In the illusory ocean, a tens of meters high wave suddenly rolled up, carrying the power of the sea, and slammed towards the sea of ​​fire below.

In an instant.

This huge wave seemed to include the entire sea of ​​fire in it, and rolled it into its body.

White steam rose instantly, occupying people's vision.

However, this time, the speed at which the flame evaporated the sea water was obviously slower.

This resulted in the evaporation of the sea water.

The surging waves still formed an incredibly large vortex.

It rotated like a millstone, constantly strangling the hot flames in it.

After a while.

The flame was temporarily extinguished.

The figure of the Fire King emerged from it.

He forcibly broke free from the control of the whirlpool and fell back into the palace that had turned into ruins.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that.

His breath at this time was much weaker than before, his whole face was pale, and his momentum was far behind.

On the opposite side of the Fire King.

Augustine, who had transformed into a human form again, still looked down on everyone present with a majestic look.

The arrogance and strength of the king were endless.

The momentum that was as vast as the sea did not diminish at all.

It brought a suffocating sense of oppression.

It was obvious.

In this battle, the Fire King lost.

Think about it.

The Fire King in this memory scene was not his real body after all.

Before the war, he used his own power to ignite the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

His state was not at its peak.

Although Augustine was in a controlled state, his strength was well preserved.

He even had the legendary greatsword [Wangyang] as a weapon.

One rose while the other fell.

It was reasonable for Augustine to win this battle.

However, this is bad news for Shane and others.

It is already very difficult for them to deal with Edward alone.

Even if they work together, they may not be able to defeat him.

At this time.

There are so many copies of the Fire King surrounding them.

The most powerful Augustine has lost his restrictions.

He can sweep everyone present by himself.

This is an absolute suppression of strength and rank.

Even Shane cannot overcome it.

In fact.

This is not a battle that they, the sixth-level secret path, should face.

The members of the infiltration operation can hold on to this moment by relying on their own willpower and Shane's extraordinary performance.

And now, Shane and others are undoubtedly in a real desperate situation.

William's eyes showed a trace of despair.

"Is it... that we have come to an end?"

Benny looked at Augustine not far away, and his arms and limbs were weak, not as easy to use as usual.

That was his body, instinctively feeling fear.

Benny bit his lips tightly, not caring even if blood came out.

"Move... move!"

On the other side.

Edward showed a confident smile.

He was too lazy to say more nonsense and directly ordered Augustine.

"Augustine B1, kill them all!"

Hearing this order, the taciturn Augustine took a step forward and raised the greatsword [Ocean] in his hand.

While raising the sword, the terrible might continued.

The illusory sea emerged from behind him again.

The power of this sword was so strong that it seemed that all of them could be killed by just swinging it.

Shane couldn't help but stand on end.

Even though he had overestimated Augustine's strength as much as possible, only when he really faced him could he feel the strength of this former pirate king.

But just when this sword was about to fall.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the dark sky above everyone's heads.

Then.

The crack expanded rapidly, as if forming a passage to the outside world.

In an instant.

A figure wrapped in flames fell from it like a meteor.

Boom——

The meteor cut through the atmosphere at a very fast speed, making a whistling roar.

In just a blink of an eye, it landed in this ruin!

A familiar voice sounded.

"Captain Shane, thank you for your hard work."

"Leave it to us next."
