Noxus Glory

Chapter 45 Embrace the Flames of War!

Pale mountain slopes.

A burst of crimson-gold flames suddenly erupted, like a chaotic and restless bundle of fire, raging and surging.

"Flames? A superhuman!"

On the rugged mountain road, the Blood Warrior leader, who was lined up and waiting, looked solemnly at the cascading crimson-gold flames.

He never imagined that there would be a superhuman among the Noxian scout team he had been pursuing.

Not just the extraordinary individuals in front of us.

The Blood Warrior leader looked up at the slope, at the giant minotaurs with their shields raised, and at the many Noxian scouts with fierce auras, and realized something was wrong.

The Noxian scout squad in front of us is far too powerful.

"Their mission is far more than just scouting enemy positions!" The Blood Warrior leader's heart sank, but his face showed no sign of panic.

Instead, a sinister smile appeared on the face smeared with blood.

"Draw the bow, nock the arrow, target."

The Blood Warrior leader stared fiercely at Huo Jixing, who was approaching on a blazing trail of flames, and promptly issued the order.

"The Noxian Extraordinary!"

He knew in his heart that he absolutely could not let this guy break through the formation. Otherwise, the Noxian scouts following behind would slaughter him like wolves among sheep.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The bowstring twanged, and a black arrow pierced the air.

There were only thirteen or fourteen Blood Warriors on the mountain path, but with their superb archery skills, they launched a fierce attack like a sudden downpour.

The pristine white snow curtain broke, and a dark shadow loomed over the hills.

Huo Jixing, who was running at full speed, looked up at the falling arrows. His handsome face showed no fear, but his eyes were covered with a crimson glow.

Wow!

Step forward, swing the knife.

The Southern Fire covering the blade surged like waves, suddenly igniting a scorching wall of flames.

Click! Click! Click!

A sudden, black rainstorm descended.

But beneath the blades that transformed into a wall of flames, the falling black arrows broke apart.

Huo Jixing continued walking, breaking through the rain of arrows, and looked at the Blood Warrior not far away, stomping his feet hard on the snow.

boom!

A dull cracking sound rang out.

Huo Jixing's feet stomped directly on the snow, cracking it open and kicking up large plumes of snowflakes mixed with mud, obscuring the sky and disrupting the view.

Then, like an arrow released from a bow, it pierced straight into the ranks of the Blood Warriors, its slender longsword flashing with brilliant crimson-gold light.

Clang!

Ripples spread through the air, and a sharp, screeching sound echoed above the mountain road.

"Hmm, it's blocked?"

Huo Jixing looked at the Blood Warrior leader in front of him with surprise, who was retreating and falling to the ground in the snow.

The shoulder pads were shattered, the arms trembled, and blood flowed from the tiger's mouth, dripping onto the snow.

But he did manage to block Huo Jixing's strike.

"The Blade of Conquest?"

While Huo Jixing was still in a daze, the blood warriors, who had been waiting in full battle array, surrounded him, wielding their bone blades and attacking vital points all over his body.

"Are you planning to go all out to eliminate me? A very good idea!"

Huo Jixing suppressed his inner thoughts and looked around at the blood warriors in front of him. He saw naked killing intent on their faces smeared with blood.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The continuous clanging sound shattered the scattered snowflakes.

Faced with the onslaught of numerous weapons, Huo Jixing took light steps, his wrist flicking, creating a dense gust of wind with his slender longsword.

Then, following the movement of the blade, he crashed headlong into the middle of the blood warriors.

Wherever he went, none could stop him!

Beneath the blazing flames, the burly, skilled blood warriors were forced to retreat and temporarily avoid the onslaught.

"Stop him!"

The difficult-to-pronounce Valoran language rang out in the array.

The Blood Warrior leader rose from the snow, ignoring the splitting wound on his hand, and charged at Huo Jixing once more with his bone blade.

Seeing their leader act this way, the many blood warriors stopped retreating and roared as they charged towards Huo Jixing without fear of death.

In the blink of an eye.

Huo Jixing's offensive gradually slowed down, and he began to defend against the Blood Warriors' frenzied attacks.

Although he has now become a superhuman and has the blessing of the Southern Flame, his body is far from being able to withstand the slashes of the sharp bone blades.

Most importantly, these blood warriors in front of us are highly skilled, and the damage they inflict is terrifying.

Stab it!

The composite armor, having withstood multiple blows, shattered, revealing a bloody gash on its back, from which trickles of blood oozed.

Huo Jixing turned and swung his sword, its crimson light flashing, forcing back the blood warriors who were taking advantage of the situation to attack.

However, the blood warriors, having tasted blood, became even more frenzied in their attack. As if they had seen the powerlessness of the superhumans, they disregarded their own lives and surged towards Huo Jixing.

The shadowy figures, amidst the wind and snow, formed an impenetrable net of death, enveloping the enemy.

"I underestimated you!"

Huo Jixing bent over, carrying a slender longsword on his back, to block the falling, ferocious bone blade, and couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

But it's not too late to act when you see the rabbit looking after the dog.

Huo Jixing took a deep breath, and the already scorching Nanli Fire instantly boiled.

It surged forth from within his body, transforming into crimson-gold flames that spread throughout his entire body.

Embrace the flames of war!

[Vermilion Bird - Southern Fire]!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant!

A sudden gust of wind arose.

The slender blade, gleaming with a cold light, created afterimages as the wrist spun rapidly.

Then, carrying the scorching Southern Fire, it swirled into streaks of crimson-gold flames, surging towards the surrounding blood warriors.

Amidst the howling wind, shrill screams rang out frequently.

Huo Jixing moved with his sword, unleashing a series of attacks and breaking through the Blood Warriors' encirclement with unstoppable momentum.

Behind me, in the pale snow.

The melting snow left the brown soil stained with blood, making it a muddy mess.

Many of the blood warriors either collapsed to the ground, their bodies growing cold, or clutched their severed limbs, wailing in agony.

Click!

Huo Jixing stepped forward, accompanied by flames and fierce winds, and passed by the Blood Warrior leader.

The flame-covered blade, with terrifying force, shattered the bone blade held by the Blood Warrior leader.

Not only the bone blade, but also a thick, severed arm, rose into the air and fell to the snow.

"Cough cough cough!"

The Blood Warrior leader, kneeling on the ground, clutched his scorched severed arm and howled in agony.

Perhaps knowing his fate, he raised his head and looked at Huo Jixing with a sinister expression.

"The great War Mother Sejuani will not let you get away with this!"

Bang!

Huo Jixing didn't tolerate him at all. He stretched out his left foot and stomped the Blood Warrior leader's head into the snow, rubbing it hard.

"Then I await Sejuani's hunt!"

Since he couldn't get any information out of him, he didn't hesitate and directly grasped the slender blade.

puff!

A crimson ray of light sliced ​​through the air, slicing open the throat of the Blood Warrior leader.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

The Blood Warrior leader let out a whimper, stretched out his only remaining arm, covered his charred, blackened neck, struggled a few times, and then completely lost his life.

"Pooh!"

Huo Jixing spat out a mouthful of saliva and ground his left foot into the blood warrior leader's stiff face, which was covered in bloodstains.

He is certainly no match for Sejuani now.

However, Sejuani, as the Mother of Winter's Claw, would not easily leave the front lines.

Her opponent was Darius, the Hand of Noxus, so it was already quite remarkable that she focused her attention on him, an ordinary centurion.

The few remaining blood warriors looked at Huo Jixing with horror, gripping their bone blades tightly, not daring to step forward.

Huo Jixing didn't care.

Because the Noxian scouts behind them, like a long-accumulated crimson wave, engulfed all the surviving lives in the arena.

"Blood Warrior, as expected of the most elite warrior of the Winter's Claw tribe!"

Sheathing his longsword, Huo Jixing gazed at the battle in the arena, his blood-stained face revealing admiration.

Compared to the carefully selected Noxian scouts.

These blood warriors are equally skilled.

But those who survived had already lost their courage in the recent battle.

Faced with the coordinated efforts of the Noxian scouts, the battle ended quickly.

The blood warriors who had pursued them were now all lying on the cold snow, their flowing blood congealing and staining the silvery-white ground.

Huo Jixing looked at the blood-red battlefield before him and began to gradually understand his role.

He is a sharp dagger plunged into the enemy's heart, slicing through flesh and exposing weakness.

His teammates, on the other hand, were like the sharp spikes on a blade, deepening the wound and even piercing his heart.

If this battle were fought in the same way I did when I fought the raiders before, my team would definitely have suffered casualties, or even been severely damaged.

It won't be like now, where we take down the Blood Warriors without taking any damage.

Under Sharuba's leadership, the Noxian scouts began to manage the battlefield in an orderly manner.

Then, braving the wind and snow, they quickly left.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the group's deeper advance had already attracted the attention of the Winter's Claw tribe.

They now need to cross the ice and snow defense line in this area as soon as possible and penetrate deep into the rear, otherwise they will continue to be surrounded and intercepted.

Before rounding the bend in the mountain road, Huo Jixing looked back at the snow-covered battlefield and licked his dry lips.

Maintain a cautious and prudent mindset, and act with courage and diligence!

He never underestimated the Winter's Claw tribe, nor did he overestimate his own strength.

This cruel and unforgiving frozen wasteland has buried too many of the corpses of the arrogant.

It's unbearable; there's just too much information to search and compare, which is severely impacting my typing speed.
