Chapter 219: 208 VS Yinyue 2

As the words "go to die" fell, a bizarre and grotesque power surged violently towards me.

I didn’t understand what Yinyue’s purpose was in fighting me.

From her tone earlier, it seemed she had to kill me because I was Changan’s best friend, but what was the causal relationship here?

Or was it that there wasn’t so much hidden context, and it was simply because she was a demon that she harbored innate malice and the desire to kill humans. The fact that "I am Changan’s best friend" was simply an excuse she picked at random? Considering even Changan himself harbored a strong impulse to kill, it didn’t seem unacceptable that Yinyue, a pure demon, suddenly displayed such a brutal style.

Even without these reasons, there were irreconcilable contradictions between Yinyue and me. She was the evil spirit possessing Changan’s body, and I could not ignore her. The murderous intent she directed at me was, in a sense, reasonable.

The move she was using now was very simple.

As a demon who could alter reality at will, what was the most efficient way to kill an enemy when she wanted to? Was it to conjure a weapon out of thin air to carry out the slaughter, or to summon Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire, or even to call down meteors to smash the enemy into dust? None of these.

The most efficient way was not to summon anything but directly the result of "target’s death."

Yinyue’s power acted upon me, ignoring spatial distance. In that instant, I felt my heart stop beating, the blood flowing through my body vanished without a trace, my bones crumbled like wafer cookies, my muscle tissue was shredded as though by ten thousand invisible scissors, and my brain tissue, as if stirred chaotically by chopsticks, suddenly turned into a mush...

Countless gruesome and terrifying ways of death manifested on me, and in just one hundredth of a second, more than a hundred horrific results appeared on me. My Fire Element body collapsed under the onslaught of all these mortal outcomes, turning into something like a slime made of flames.

Needless to say, those destroyed structures were simulated products, and adding ten thousand more physical ways of dying couldn’t truly kill me, a Fire Element being. But the problem didn’t lie there—I could clearly feel that, in addition to increasing the ways of dying, the strange force acting on me seemed to have intelligence, ceaselessly searching for a "cause of death" suitable for me.

Of course, I wasn’t just going to wait for death. While enduring countless deadly outcomes, I instantly teleported in front of Yinyue and launched another close-range fire attack. Then, I found myself transported back to where I had been—she had once again used her power to alter reality, nullifying my attack.

Almost simultaneously, I felt my entire body no longer capable of any movement or change. It wasn’t that she had cast some sort of move to bind me; instead, my body was frozen. Yes, I was flame, yet inexplicably, I had become an ice block. More precisely, I had crystallized. The current me was like a crystal in the shape of flames, suspended high in the air.

The reason seemed to be that the "Death Decree" acting on me had finally found a "way of death" that was effective against me. After I crystallized, it was as if countless invisible files were frantically rubbing, and the crystallized body started to disintegrate from the edges at a rapid speed. This phenomenon was not just about disintegrating me on the material level; my soul seemed to be synchronized with the crystallized body, exploding with an unprecedented intense pain, as if my flesh was being filed down.

I was being killed!

The shadow of death loomed over my consciousness.

Yinyue was the same Great Success Rank as Chen Long and Divine Spear, but completely different from them.

When clashing with the latter two, although I believed my power was stronger, I never underestimated the fight between us. They were either someone I might not be able to kill or someone who might kill me, so I would give my all to respond to their moves. I even thought "this is battle" and believed I was truly fighting a life-and-death struggle.

Now, though, the situation made me realize my past misunderstandings—"give my all"? That attitude was based on the premise that I had the leisure to choose. I could give my all or not; I had merely chosen the former. Now it was different, I didn’t have the luxury to choose full strength or not. This was a true life-or-death struggle.

Chen Long and Divine Spear let me know pain, while Yinyue brought death to my doorstep.

Without hesitation, I unleashed all my power. In fact, from the beginning, I was fighting Yinyue with all my strength; only now was I exercising this full strength with the mindset of being on the brink of my limit. My power turned into a huge Fire Sea, swallowing the surrounding land and spreading to a far distance.

Now, Yinyue and I were in a forest outside the old base of the Human Bureau, and the Fire Sea I summoned engulfed a radius of more than two and a half kilometers of woodland.

They say humans can see a horizon at a distance of about four to five kilometers on a plain. That means if someone stood at one end of my Fire Sea and looked towards the other, they should see my fire spreading beyond the horizon. This was the greatest scale of destruction I could muster at the moment; the forest blazed furiously in the flames, and even the old base of the Human Bureau in the distance was enveloped in it.
