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

Chapter 39 The Fiery Cloud Technique Reappears, Broken in One Move!

The moment the words fell.

The violent golden-red spiritual power emanating from Li Hao's entire body, like a hundred rivers drawn together, frantically converged towards his palm.

A fist-sized orb of light, interwoven with gold and red, slowly took shape, compressed, and solidified in his palm.

The ball of light looked unremarkable, without any earth-shattering power or aura of destruction.

It floated there quietly, like a gentle glass bead, with flowing golden holy light and crimson lava inside.

Two extreme forces rotate and merge in a mysterious rhythm, forming a magnificent yet deadly picture.

However, all the seventh-tier powerhouses present felt their hair stand on end the moment they saw the ball of light.

A chill that seemed to originate from the depths of their souls sent a shiver down their spines, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

"Something's not right! The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from this kid are terrifying!"

The arrogance and composure on Gao Yingjie's face had long since vanished.

His eyes, wide open like copper bells, reflected the small, golden-red orb of light, his pupils already shrunk to the most dangerous pinpoints.

He felt like he wasn't facing a sixth-tier warrior, but a live volcano about to erupt!
Inside that seemingly calm sphere of light, there appeared to be terrifying energy capable of melting him and his shield into molten iron.

be cheated!
This kid was playing dumb from the very beginning to take advantage of others!

What kind of trickery leads to victory?
Which sixth-tier warrior could numb the arm of a seventh-tier guardian knight with a single punch?
Which sixth-tier warrior could summon such bizarre and violent spiritual power?

He... he's a monster!

escape?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he extinguished it.

He may lose face as Gao Yingjie, but he cannot lose the honor of the Guardian Knight.

He had already boasted that he would stand here and take the blow head-on.

If he were to back down and dodge now, he would become a laughingstock of the entire Knights' Temple, and his Dao heart would be shrouded in shadow.

"Ahhhh——!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Gao Yingjie unleashed all his potential. He was like a madman, letting out a deafening roar.

The liquid spiritual energy within his body surged forth without reservation, like free tap water, frantically pouring into the defensive system in front of him.

"Holy Light Shield!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Yingjie unleashed his trump card, his most prized area-of-effect comprehensive defensive technique.

hum!hum!hum!
Accompanied by a series of dense buzzing sounds, hexagonal energy shields shimmering with divine radiance appeared out of thin air in front of him.

These light shields are not simply stacked, but are interconnected and support each other at a peculiar angle, layer upon layer.

In an instant, a three-dimensional defensive wall resembling a honeycomb was formed in front of him!

Each shield of light embodies the guardian knight's ultimate understanding of the elements, making them exceptionally sturdy.

This "Holy Light Shield," composed of dozens of light shields, elevates the defensive capabilities to an outrageous level.

After doing all this, Gao Yingjie felt a little more at ease.

He's confident!
With its current defensive capabilities, it has added three layers of defense: "Holy Light Barrier", "Earth Guardian", and "Holy Light Shield".

Even if an ordinary eighth-tier retribution knight were to come, it would take some effort to break through.

He simply couldn't believe that this kid could be so extraordinary.

The whole process is a long story, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Just as Gao Yingjie's "Holy Light Shield" was taking shape, Li Hao, who was in the distance, made a move.

He looked calmly at Gao Yingjie, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy and was even somewhat hysterical.

He simply pushed the "fire cloud" that had been compressed to its limit in his palm forward gently.

Without a deafening roar, the golden-red orb of light flew towards Gao Yingjie seemingly lightly and slowly.

But this seemingly leisurely scene made Gao Yingjie feel an unprecedented crisis of death.

Because he discovered that he was locked down.

No matter which direction he tried to dodge, the ball of light would follow him relentlessly, leaving him no way to avoid it.

"Come on!" Gao Yingjie's legs were like the roots of an old tree, firmly planted in the ground, and the sharp corners of the tower shield were also deeply embedded in the ground, letting out a roar like a trapped beast.

The next moment, under the deathly silence of the entire audience.

The ball of light finally made contact with the dazzling honeycomb light barrier in front of Gao Yingjie.

There was no earth-shattering explosion as imagined.

"Boom."

There was a soft sound, like a bubble bursting.

Then, something happened that made everyone's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.

The moment the golden-red orb made contact with the first shield of holy light, the crimson flames flowing on it suddenly surged.

Just as a red-hot iron scalding through butter, it silently melted a fist-sized hole in the sturdy light shield.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
A series of soft sounds, so dense they almost blended together, rang out.

That ball of light was unstoppable, sweeping away everything in its path!
Gao Yingjie was very proud of his "Holy Light Shield," which he was confident could withstand attacks from an eighth-tier expert.

Compared to this tiny sphere of light, everything is as fragile as a paper window! One layer... two layers... ten layers... thirty layers!

In the blink of an eye, the honeycomb barrier composed of dozens of light shields was pierced through!

"This...how is this possible?!" Gao Yingjie's eyes instantly became bloodshot.

Before he could react, the ball of light, whose power seemed undiminished, had already passed through the ruins of the Hive Barrier.

It was imprinted with perfect precision on his heavy tower shield.

This time, it was no longer a silent melt-through.

"boom--!"

The accumulated, violent energy exploded at this moment!

A terrifying explosion unfolded on the surface of the tower shield, intensely hot, violent, holy, and domineering...

All sorts of contradictory yet perfectly integrated forces were unleashed upon Gao Yingjie in a frenzy.

"Crack——!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding crack.

That tower shield, which had accompanied Gao Yingjie for many years, was forged from mithril and sunken star iron and engraved with countless defensive runes.

After lasting less than half a second, the surface was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, it exploded, turning into countless flying metal fragments.

"puff--!"

Gao Yingjie was struck dumb, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The shield shattered, and the aftershocks of the fireball, now weakened by ninety percent, slammed into the armor on his chest.

"boom--!"

Another dull, loud bang.

On the chest of Gao Yingjie's adamantite armor, a deep fist-shaped indentation was visibly visible.

He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed siege beast; his feet left the ground, and he flew backward in an arc.

Three zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang...

Finally, after traveling dozens of feet, it crashed heavily to the ground with a loud "boom," carving out a long furrow and kicking up clouds of dust.

The whole place was dead silent.

You can hear the needle drop.

Everyone seemed to be petrified, staring blankly at the distant, smoke-filled horizon.

Then, slowly and mechanically, he turned his gaze back to the "instigator" in the arena.

Li Hao slowly withdrew his hand, his expression calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

The violent and scorching aura around him subsided, and he returned to being an ordinary sixth-tier warrior.

If it weren't for the large area of ​​melted ground and the human-shaped crater emitting blue smoke in the distance.

People might even think that everything that just happened was just an illusion.

"Merely... seventh rank?" Lin Xin's lips twitched as he murmured, repeating Wang Yuanyuan's words.

I just felt that this iceberg vice-captain's choice of words was just too damn... precise.

Sima Xian's large, fan-like hand had somehow loosened its grip on his metal staff.

He was unconsciously scratching his bald head, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg.

He had even considered going up to help?

Help my ass!

Based on what the commander just did, he felt that if he had been hit, he would probably be reduced to ashes by now.

"Cough...cough cough!"

A violent cough came from the distant smoke and dust, breaking the deathly silence.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, a disheveled figure, leaning on a bent and deformed heavy sword, shakily stood up from the pit.

It was Gao Yingjie.

At this moment, he no longer possessed any of the demeanor of a seventh-tier guardian knight.

Covered in dust, with disheveled hair, his chest armor was completely shattered, revealing charred skin underneath, and blood still clung to the corner of his mouth.

His gaze toward Li Hao was devoid of any emotion, filled only with utter horror.

Li Hao looked at him with a warm smile on his face, as harmless as a boy next door.

He first sized up Gao Yingjie, then looked at the scattered tower shield fragments, and then spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly carried throughout the entire training ground.

"Your defenses are breached, you've lost!"
