Noxus Glory

Chapter 67 Frostfang Wrathful Spirit Vermilion Bird's Cry

Top of the hillside.

The broken campfire and the raging flames of the Southern Fire intertwined to form an orange wall of fire, halting the Winter's Claws' continued attack.

Huo Jixing, panting, gripped the runic weapon in his hand and looked at the tall figure behind the wall of flames, a hint of fear appearing in his crimson eyes.

He had to unleash his power prematurely.

Faced with the all-out attack of the Winter's Claw, they were like a lone boat in a giant wave, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

Not only are they in trouble, but Sharuba and his companions are also struggling to withstand the Blood Warriors' frenzied offensive.

If they cannot temporarily repel the relentless offensive of the Winter's Claws, they may not be able to wait for reinforcements and will be overwhelmed by the tide of the Winter's Claws' offensive.

boom!

A loud punch rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Jixing looked over and saw a ferocious fist imprint emerging from within the surging waves of flames.

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

The giant fist, enveloped in frost, pierced through the wall of flames like a cannonball.

Then Georgie stepped in, his entire body shrouded in azure frost, which blocked the erosion of the Southern Fire.

He walked slowly to Huo Jixing, a mocking smile appearing on his cold face.

"I don't know why you stayed, but you clearly have something to rely on. Do you have backup? Or are you very confident in your own abilities?"

"Unfortunately, I won't give you another chance!"

Huo Jixing hunched over, moved his right foot back, and held his runic weapon horizontally in front of him, facing the nearby Georgi.

Despite being of the same Iceborn lineage, this guy is far stronger than Raven Baloric.

Perhaps a few punches would be enough to crush Barolorick head-on.

Bang!

The terrifying fist struck again, and the True Ice Gauntlets shimmered with a brilliant blue light.

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed, and he moved his feet, flitting through the pervasive blue frost like a butterfly.

He used a dense, snowflake-like blade of light to slash at the hard fist.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Soon, dull thuds echoed across the hillside.

The illumination of the Willow Constellation Star granted Huo Jixing the skill of [Blade of Conquest].

Now, he began to unleash his greatly improved swordsmanship, hoping to kill the Iceborn warrior before him.

Looking towards the top of the hillside.

Crimson-gold flames burst forth, while biting frost raged.

The terrifying energy fluctuations, amidst the swirling snow, gradually intertwined into a red and blue storm, pressing against the scorching wall of flames.

The retreating Blood Warriors, gazing at the gradually weakening flames of their ranks, roared once more and charged towards the Noxian scouts, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks.

Huo Jixing had no time to spare, and was doing his best to display his skills.

However, the pressure from Georgi's giant fist was too great; every punch he threw carried a chilling frost, compressing his space to move.

Besides, there were also a pack of Frostfang Giant Wolves watching them intently, and Spirit Fox Wanderers standing on the smooth mountainside, waiting for their chance to strike.

"A truly gifted individual!"

At the bottom of the hillside, Frostfang Shaman Hikaru looked up at the battle above with astonishment.

He never expected that this pursuit would lead him to encounter such a gifted superhuman.

"The Noxian Empire, how ruthless!" he murmured, understanding why the Ravenclan had failed.

Along with its leader, Raven Barolorick, it was utterly defeated and killed.

Hikaru rode his Frostfang Giant Wolf slowly up the steep hillside.

He glanced at Sharuba and the others casually, then focused all his attention on Huo Jixing, who had turned into flames.

"However, it is precisely such a gifted individual who can please the great War Mother Sejuani."

Hikaru extended his right hand, his index finger aimed at the shifting Hoji Star, a touch of blue frost filling his eyes.

[Wild Arcane Art: Frostfang Wrathful Spirit]!

Roar!

A deafening wolf howl suddenly rang out on the hillside.

Before Hikaru, waves of transparent ripples, like water ripples, rose up, suppressing the fiercely burning wall of flames, and transformed into blue wolf shapes, pouncing towards Hoji Star.

Almost at the instant of the wolf's howl.

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed as he saw a blue wolf-like creature pouncing towards him from behind Georgi.

[Vermilion Bird - Southern Fire]!

Rune weapons spun around his body, and the blazing Southern Fire boiled.

Huo Jixing tried his best to dodge, but the Frostfang Giant Wolves and the Spirit Fox Wanderers, sensing an opportunity, rushed towards him like arrows released from a bow, treading on the snow.

Sizzle! Crack!

Blood splattered, armor shattered.

Huo Jixing staggered and almost fell to the ground in the snow, but he managed to fight off the pack of Frostfang Giant Wolves and the Spirit Fox Wanderer who were closing in on him.

But dense claw marks and gruesome knife wounds appeared on his waist, abdomen, and back, and a biting frost crept along the wounds, invading his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

He looked at the retreating Frostfang Giant Wolf and the fierce-looking Spirit Fox Wanderer, panting heavily, the hazy white steam obscuring his gaunt face.

"It seems they're underestimating the strength of these pursuers." Huo Jixing looked down at the runic weapon in his hand; under the continuous attacks, several cracks had appeared on the blade.

In particular, Georgie's giant fist caused the runic weapon to visibly distort after several blows.

He looked at Georgie, who was about to launch another attack, suppressed his fear, and went to meet him again.

Now, he has already burned with the power of his flesh and blood, and no longer cares about the so-called threshold. He only wants to stop the many enemies in front of him.

Facing the many extraordinary beings of the Claws of Winter.

The once sturdy body has been transformed into flesh and blood, fueling an ever-growing crimson-gold flame of Nanli.

He's risking his life!

He's racing against time!

In a daze, Huo Jixing seemed to see a deep red color in the mountains not far away. Then he grinned, placed his runic weapon in front of him, and swung it out with a final, desperate strike.

[Vermilion Bird - Crimson Eyes Fiery Pupil]!

[Vermilion Bird - Southern Fire]!

Beneath those crimson eyes, time seemed to stand still.

The swirling snowflakes froze in mid-air, and the Zhenbing Gauntlet, which wrapped around the giant fist, trembled.

The Frostfang Giant Wolf, poised to pounce, leaped into the air, its limbs off the ground, its massive jaws wide open, as if ready to devour anyone it could.

The Spirit Fox Wanderer also moved closer, his face, painted with blue marks, filled with ruthlessness. The True Ice Dagger in his hand, carrying a chilling aura, was aimed directly at Huo Jixing's neck.

In that very instant.

When all the scenes come alive again.

Instead of Huo Jixing struggling to hold on, they were greeted by a figure that had transformed into a torch.

[Vermilion Bird - Cry]!

Huo Jixing took a deep breath, his gaunt face sunken again, his flesh and blood rapidly melted away, and the Southern Fire covering his entire body grew even stronger.

Strength comes from your feet!

At this moment, Huo Jixing channeled all his strength into the runic weapon through rotation and swinging, instantly cleaving through the air and emitting a sound like a bird's cry.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!

The next instant.

Above the hillside, streaks of dazzling, magnificent sword light, accompanied by swirling snowflakes, enveloped everyone like a sudden blizzard.

At the same time, the sounds of thousands of birds gathered together

Finally, they merged together, transforming into a bright and high-pitched cry of the Vermilion Bird.

Clang!

Faintly, the Vermilion Bird cried out.

Its noble and majestic crimson form reflected in the sky, with countless feathers as fiery and vibrant as the sunset.
