The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 63 First Test of Skill, Life and Death

At the same time that Kahn's forces spotted the enemy, Lytton and his men also spotted Kahn's forces.

After a brief standoff, the two sides were on the verge of fighting.

On the surface, Lytton's troops numbered nearly a hundred, while the entire Imperial Guard consisted of only twenty men, a stark disparity in strength.

However, Lytton's force of nearly a hundred men consisted of fewer than ten firemasters, and they were somewhat exhausted from the long journey, so their strength had already been reduced by three-tenths.

The Imperial Guards were all fire masters, and elite fire masters at that. After a day of rest and training, they were in excellent spirits and at their peak.

The gap between a sorcerer and an ordinary person is generally difficult to bridge, let alone Woolf and the others who are the elite of the elite. Logically speaking, the battle should have quickly become one-sided.

However, Azura's order to capture him alive prevented the Royal Guard from using its full strength, giving the disadvantaged Lytton forces room to maneuver.

The ordinary people with rich combat experience, together with the few fire masters, were able to barely hold off the Imperial Guard's offensive, but that was all; they could not achieve any further results.

Thus, the battle situation fell into a delicate and fragile balance.

Just then, Kahn and Azura entered the arena.

Through their discussion last night, they understood that in order to complete this dangerous plan, Kahn and Azura first had to complete Aozai's mission, and they had to do it perfectly.

Therefore, Lytton's troops must be captured by them.

So when they saw Kahn and Azura enter the field, they knew it was time to lose, and they all prepared to throw the game.

But they soon realized that it didn't seem necessary.

The balance of the battle was already delicate and fragile. It only took one side to add a "straw" to change the situation. Moreover, Kahn and Azura were not barren things like straws, but rather domineering and incomparable tigers!

The two men, with unparalleled power, crashed into the crowd, attacking in separate lines, crushing everything in their path like a steamroller, leaving no one able to stop them, drawing a large "V" shape in the crowd.

In order not to harm his opponent, Kahn did not even use his fire control technique. Instead, he used his superb movement technique and qi-intercepting technique, which he had not shown for a long time.

Moreover, with the blessing of the Spirit Control Technique, his senses became even more acute, and combined with near-absolute body control, he pushed his movement techniques to another level.

In the chaotic battlefield, Kahn moved like a ghost, nimbly and swiftly overcoming obstacles, accurately and secretly striking the enemy's vital points, leaving without a trace.

From an outsider's perspective, wherever Kahn went, the enemies suddenly went limp and inexplicably collapsed to the ground. Even fire masters could not escape the fate, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of them fell down. The bizarre scene made those who did not know the reason feel a chill.

On the other side, Azura also adopted the same physical tactics strategy as Kahn.

Although Azura's close-combat skills are not as good as Kahn's, she is only inferior to him. Because she used to be often overwhelmed by Kahn's physical skills, she has worked hard to improve them. Now, even when facing a physical expert like Terry, she can hold her own for a while.

In terms of combat, Azura's talent is beyond doubt.

Slightly different from Kahn's style, Azura's movements are agile and ruthless, each move hitting the vital points. Even when controlling the power, she can often render her opponent unable to retaliate within a few moves.

When facing the Fire Mage, Azura became even more domineering.

Faced with the onslaught of flames, she used the same move directly, completely crushing her opponent's attack with her powerful and unpredictable azure flames, leaving many fire masters questioning their existence on the spot.

Azura and Kahn's first display of their talents was so dazzling that it took everyone present by surprise.

After last night's conversation, Lytton had already witnessed the intelligence of the two men, but he hadn't expected them to be so powerful.

Seeing Kahn approach him with the ferocity of someone moving through an empty field, Lytton no longer had the intention of holding back. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to test the strength of his friend's son.

The stronger Kahn's abilities were, the more at ease he felt.

Thinking this, he swung his right fist in a standard starting stance, and a fierce fireball suddenly blasted towards Kahn!

At this moment, Kahn seemed to have entered a mysterious state.

His body danced on the edge of a blood-stained blade, the Spirit Control Technique began to operate, his perception was stimulated to the maximum, and the performance of his body and soul was fully stimulated to the limit.

At this moment, Kahn seemed to have suddenly opened his third eye, as if he could see attacks from any direction and deal with them in the best way.

Faced with the sudden fireball attack, Kahn didn't even look at it. With a simple grab, he turned the scorching fireball into a pitiful little flame, which swayed comically in the air for a while before disappearing into thin air.

To Lytton's bewildered gaze, Kahn walked past him and smoothly struck two pressure points on his body. Lytton felt his body go limp and swayed as he collapsed to the ground, indistinguishable from any other passerby.

Less than a minute after Kahn and Azura joined the fray, the previously evenly matched situation came to an end.

"That was really fun! It's just a pity we couldn't go all out; it's only good when there are a lot of people that you can really enjoy the fight."

After the battle, Azura stretched and commented.

"Didn't you use enough force?"

Kahn glanced at her disdainfully.

Both methods involve knocking people down, but those knocked down by him are mostly bewildered, not understanding what happened; while those knocked down by Azura all look quite pained, making them easy to distinguish.

Azura shrugged:

"To be honest, I've already been very restrained."

"Okay then."

Kahn acknowledged this point; if Azura were to fight in the same form he used in his sparring matches, it could really lead to someone's death.

On the other side, the Royal Guards looked at the large number of enemy soldiers lying on the ground, and at Kahn and Azura chatting and laughing as if they were ignoring what had happened.

In addition to assisting in the suppression of the rebels and monitoring the entire incident, their mission also included protecting His Highness Azura.

But now, does Azura really need protection?

Thinking back to what just happened, it seems like neither Azura nor Kahn could necessarily win.

Considering their ages, many people couldn't help but start to question their own existence. Could people who couldn't even beat a child really be considered elites?!

Woolf was equally shocked, but he didn't forget their mission. He ordered his men to detain all the rebels, then went to Azura and said:

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Ultimately, Ao Zai's orders were to annihilate the rebels; he didn't understand the point of capturing them alive.

However, Azura revealed a cruel smile that sent chills down Woolf's spine.

"Wouldn't it be too easy for them to die like this? How would that deter other rebels?"

She chuckled softly:

"Sometimes living is more painful than dying."
