Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 10 Fiery Cloud Technique! Instantly Kills a Seventh-Tier Jacques Demon

As the seventh-tier Jacques Demon walked step by step, each step felt like it was landing on his heart.

Its gaze was fixed on Li Hao, who was struggling to get up, with a playful, cat-and-mouse expression.

"What a delightful discovery."

"What I enjoy most is personally eliminating you so-called geniuses, especially those geniuses who have the potential to threaten the great Demon God!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the surrounding Jacques Demons instantly dispersed, forming a huge encirclement that tightly surrounded Li Hao and Wang Yuanyuan in the center.

The two fifth-tier Yak demons that had been fighting Wang Yuanyuan also retreated to the side, staring at her with cruel eyes, as if they were looking at two lambs to the slaughter.

Despair instantly enveloped Wang Yuanyuan's heart.

Seventh level!

That's equivalent to a human Templar Knight, War King, or Archmage.

Let alone the two of them, even if ten more teams of six level-five professionals came, they would only be throwing their lives away!

"Li Hao!"

Wang Yuanyuan could no longer care about anything else. She rushed to Li Hao's side and helped him up from the ground.

At the same time, they held the Giant Spirit God's Shield in front of them, warily staring at the seventh-tier Jacques Demon who was closing in step by step.

"Quick! I'll hold them off, you break through and seek the protection of the Inspector!" she growled anxiously, shielding Li Hao behind her.

In her view, Li Hao's talent far surpassed hers, and he would be the backbone of the alliance in the future. He shouldn't die in this small Demon Hunter Team assessment.

"Ahem... Am I the kind of person who abandons his comrades?"

Li Hao coughed a few times, slowly straightened up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a few deep breaths, and forcibly suppressed the churning blood and qi in his body.

His face was somewhat pale, but his eyes remained calm, eerily calm.

……

On a mountaintop a kilometer away, two blurry figures stood silently.

It was those two archmages in charge of proctoring the exam.

"Should we make a move or not?" The portly inspector frowned, his tone tinged with anxiety.

"A seventh-tier Jacques Demon, those two absolutely can't stop him! Any later and those two little guys would be dead!"

"Wait a little longer." The gaunt inspector's gaze was fixed on Li Hao on the battlefield, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

“Look at that kid, he’s too calm… abnormally calm.”

"and……"

He paused, then glanced in another direction. "The people from the Warrior's Temple are also hiding in the shadows. They're even more anxious than we are, but they're also observing."

"Also, don't forget that our mission is an assessment. If we intervene to save them now, the assessment will fail."

"That kid killed a sixth-tier Yak Demon, so he passed the test, but what about that little girl named Wang Yuanyuan..."

"To withstand two fifth-tier demons with the cultivation of a Battle Master without retreating demonstrates both exceptional temperament and strength. It would be a great pity to fail now!"

……

In the center of the battlefield, the mocking voices of the seventh-tier Jacques Demon continued.

"What? Still trying to escape? Before absolute power, any genius is nothing but a joke!"

However, Li Hao seemed not to hear his sarcasm at all.

He gently pushed Wang Yuanyuan away and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Step back and protect yourself."

Wang Yuanyuan was stunned: "Li Hao, you..."

Li Hao didn't turn around; suddenly, two golden flames ignited in his calm eyes.

An even more violent and intense aura erupted from his body.

He slowly raised his hands, and spiritual energy surged wildly into his palms, causing the air to distort and heat up at a visible speed. The surrounding demonic energy seemed to have met its nemesis and retreated.

"fire……"

Li Hao slowly uttered a single word, his voice not loud, yet it clearly resonated throughout the entire battlefield.

The mocking smile on the seventh-tier Jacques Demon's face suddenly froze, and an indescribable fear surged from the bottom of its heart without warning, causing its body to tremble instinctively.

Subconsciously, the thought of turning around and running away came to mind.

What power is this?
Isn't it spiritual power?
Why is it so hot, so... terrifying!
In an instant, the seventh-tier Jacques Demon had the thought of turning around and fleeing.

"cloud……"

As soon as he uttered the second word, a fist-sized, yet solid, crimson-gold fireball, as clear as glass, condensed in Li Hao's palm.

The fireball hovered silently, without emitting a monstrous heat wave, but the space around it was silently annihilating and collapsing.

"Jue!"

As the last word fell, Li Hao thrust his palms forward with a sudden burst of energy!
Without any earth-shattering noise, the crimson-gold fireball simply flew rapidly toward the seventh-tier Jacques Demon.

However, this seemingly harmless attack terrified the seventh-tier Jacques Demon!

It sensed the approach of death!
"No!"

The seventh-tier Jacques Demon let out a terrified scream.

Instinctively, he grabbed a fifth-tier Jacques demon beside him and used all his strength to shield it in front of him.

Unfortunately, it greatly underestimated the power of the "Fire Cloud Technique".

Or rather, it simply cannot comprehend what level of power this is.

The crimson-gold fireball made no explosion or impact the moment it touched the fifth-tier Jacques demon that was acting as a "shield".

The fifth-tier Yak demon was like ice thrown into lava; it didn't even have time to utter a scream before being instantly engulfed by the crimson-gold flames.

Its armor and weapons, along with everything else, turned to ashes and evaporated completely.

The fireball's momentum showed no signs of abating and continued forward.

The horrified seventh-tier Jacques Demon watched helplessly as the ball of deathly fire pierced through his "shield" and imprinted itself on his chest.

"boom--!"

The silence was broken the next second.

The crimson-gold flames erupted suddenly, transforming into a thick pillar of fire that instantly engulfed the seventh-tier Yak Demon's body and continued to advance with unstoppable force!

Flames plowed across the land, melting the scorched ground and vaporizing the rocks.

It left behind a terrifying ravine several meters wide and bottomless, its interior shimmering with a magma-like luster!
The scorch mark stretched from where Jacques had stood all the way to the mountainside a hundred meters away before finally stopping.

The once invincible seventh-tier Yak Demon, along with all the matter in its path, vanished completely.

One blow, instant kill!

The entire valley fell into a deathly silence once again.

All the surviving Jacques demons looked at the boy who slowly lowered his hands with the same fear they had shown a god or demon.

Wang Yuanyuan stood behind Li Hao, her mouth agape, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

What did she see?
A sixth-tier warrior used his spiritual power to unleash a fireball with the power of a seventh or even eighth-tier high-level magic...?
Meanwhile, on the distant mountaintop, the two archmages were petrified on the spot, unaware that the recording crystals in their hands had fallen to the ground with a "thud".

"What...what is that? Magic? No! It's spiritual power! Pure inner spiritual power!" The portly inspector's voice trembled.

The gaunt inspector stared intently at the hundred-meter-long scorch mark, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through clenched teeth:

"Quickly! Immediately! Transmit everything that happened here back to the Temple Alliance headquarters using the highest level of encryption!"

"This kid named Li Hao... he's a monster!"
