Long and narrow cracks appeared in the ground, and the sound of the surrounding buildings collapsing could be heard, mixed with countless screams. People either fell into the bottomless cracks or were buried by the wreckage of the buildings.
Luo Kai carried the two girls and shuttled through the countless collapsed buildings. In the face of this kind of power, he could only protect himself.
The violent earthquake lasted for five or six minutes. Although it was a short time, the entire city had been reduced to ruins. As the power of the earthquake weakened, Luo Kai slowed down and stopped on a piece of flat ground. The two girls in his arms stared blankly at the city filled with smoke and dust in front of them. They were still unable to accept what had happened in front of them.
Even Luo Kai, who was used to seeing disasters, found it difficult to calm down. Above the city, the gray fog that was difficult for others to see was as thick as clouds. It was the evil energy formed by the despair and pain of the dead before they died. He tried hard not to communicate with this energy. He held his backpack in his arms and prepared to leave with the two girls.
At this moment, an extremely strong throbbing emerged from the bottom of his heart. Anxiety, panic, and uneasiness filled his body and mind. All the hair on his body stood on end, and his chest rose and fell violently like an engine. His blood and Qi rose to the peak uncontrollably. His body expanded rapidly, and the clothes on his body were torn to shreds. He turned into a four-meter-tall giant.
A shrill cry that sounded like a chicken or a goose sounded. The sound was so loud that it shocked the world. Even the smoke and dust in the sky were scattered.
Luo Kai's legs went soft, and he involuntarily knelt on one knee. He only felt a strong pressure that intimidated his spirit and will. Under this pressure, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He did not have the slightest strength to resist.
The strong pressure enveloped the entire city, and all the creatures felt an indescribable tremor in the depths of their hearts. The remaining humans all crawled on the ground, and those with weaker wills directly fainted. Not only humans, even the plants shrank their branches and trembled.
Luo Kai subconsciously raised his head. A huge shadow appeared in the sky. It was an incomparably huge strange bird. When it spread its wings, it almost covered the sky. It had two pairs of sharp claws, and a large tuft of long feathers on its head gathered together to form a phoenix crown that was burning with flames.
The strange bird's huge phoenix eyes looked down emotionlessly, as if it was looking at a group of ants.
The two maidservants beside her were the first to succumb to the pressure and fainted with a muffled groan. The entire city fell into a deathly silence. Not many people were able to stay awake.
Luo Kai raised his blood and Qi with all his might as he slowly stood up. His spirit and willpower seeped out of his body as he shielded the two girls behind him. He slashed his palm with his blade and a wisp of pitch-black blood stained the Blade of Severance. The arc-shaped blade immediately ignited with a raging black flame. The thick baleful energy in the surroundings swarmed over and helped the black flame rise. In an instant, it was as if he was holding a huge torch.
He looked at the monster in the sky with a cold expression. The strange bird in the sky seemed unparalleled, so he had no choice but to use his full strength.
At the same time, Su Chengbo was also standing on the ruins of the manor. He held a long sword that flickered with a silver light in his hand. His entire body emitted a scorching white light, like a small sun that was about to rise.
The giant bird seemed to have sensed something and looked at the two of them. A trace of ridicule flashed across its pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. It let out a sharp cry again, and the underground of the city churned again. A muffled cry that sounded like a cow or a tiger came from underground, as if it was responding to the bird's cry.
Luo Kai's expression changed greatly. There was another Vicious Beast underground!
Su Chengbo's somewhat hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "Two complete Vicious Beasts, run!"
In an instant, Luo Kai's desire to fight was extinguished. He grabbed the two little girls beside him and shot out.
The strange bird in the sky gently flapped its wings, and the surrounding clouds were pushed away by an invisible wave of air. Wisps of raging flames condensed in the void under its wings, and with a flap of its wings, the raging flames covered the sky and the earth and swept towards him.
The scorching flames reached the top of his head in an instant. Luo Kai's hair was quickly curled up. The surrounding two kilometers were covered by the raging flames, and there was no way to escape.
Luo Kai's thoughts moved, and a mass of water rapidly formed in the void. However, as soon as it formed, it was dried up by the high temperature. Among the five elements, water suppressed wood, but the prerequisite was that the amount of water had to be large enough, and the intensity of the water had to be high enough. The raging flames controlled by the complete Vicious Beast were several times stronger than ordinary flames. The entire flame was greenish-purple, and there were signs of the reinforced steel and stone showing signs of melting. It was far from being extinguished by ordinary water.
Luo Kai activated the water essence stored in his kidneys, and opened his mouth to spit out a mass of water. The raging flames covering the top of his head were finally extinguished, and before the raging flames in the sky were about to reach him, he rushed out and jumped onto a collapsed building.
On the other side, Su Chengbo was also avoiding the pursuit of a huge ball-shaped Ferocious Beast that was covered in mud and rocks. In front of the huge Ferocious Beast, he was like a hopping grasshopper.
This Vicious Beast could control the earth. In the direction Su Chengbo was running, cracks like a spider web appeared, and there was almost no place for him to stand. Behind him, countless debris formed a torrent of mud and stones formed by the debris of buildings followed closely.
In front of the complete Vicious Beast, the two of them did not have the slightest strength to resist, and could only flee in panic.
Luo Kai's running speed was naturally very fast, but it was still incomparable to the flying Vicious Beast that soared in the sky. The Vicious Beast's body was so big that it could blot out the sun, and it only needed to flap its wings slightly to appear above his head. Just as he rushed out of the encirclement of the raging flames, the raging flames once again covered his surroundings.
Luo Kai could only continuously activate the water essence. On one hand, he had to protect himself and the two little girls from being burned by the high temperature, and on the other hand, he had to rush out of the gap in the raging flames in front of him. Very soon, he felt that the water essence stored in his body was about to be exhausted.
After running out of Longyang City, Luo Kai discovered that there was actually no trace of an earthquake in the surroundings. The violent earthquake just now was concentrated within the city. Without a doubt, this earthquake was controlled by the Vicious Beast. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Facing this kind of Vicious Beast that could control the power of heaven and earth, how could a human resist it?
The high temperature above his head attacked again, and he no longer had any water essence to use. The crisis in front of him did not allow him to think of anything else. He took a deep breath, paused his body slightly, and pulled the two little girls who were unconscious into his arms. Now, he could only use his body to resist the raging flames!
Just as he bent down, he saw the small leather bag at his waist. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly opened the bag. A light red membrane as light as a thin wing unfolded and covered them. When the surrounding raging flames approached, it suddenly deflected outwards and actually couldn't reach them.
Luo Kai's eyes lit up. The Insect Queen's pupa was indeed useful. This thing could not only deflect physical attacks, but it could also deflect energy.
Wherever his body went, all the raging flames would be deflected. However, although the raging flames couldn't burn them, the high temperature couldn't be avoided. His skin immediately began to turn black. He had been burned more than once, and his body's resistance to fire had increased a lot. This high temperature was nothing to him.
Relying on the protection of the Insect Queen's pupa, Luo Kai broke through the encirclement formed by the raging flames. The Defiant Dragon River could be faintly seen in front of him.
