Master of Nine Stars

On the scorched earth of the arena, countless skeletal Corpse Fire Camels materialized out of thin air!

The Corpse Fire Camel Army had finally formed!

In an instant, the entire arena fell silent, leaving only the eerie sounds emanating from the massive, burning skeletons scattered across the ground.

Despite having no vocal cords, they somehow let out roars—hoarse and terrifying.

Wanqi Wu stood in the very center of the Corpse Fire Camel Army, gazing at the two figures who had retreated to the edge of the arena. His eyes burned with intensity as he thrust the Flaming Horse Armor in his hand forward!

”Kill!!!”

At Wanqi Wu’s command, the ground seemed to tremble. The clatter of splintering hooves was endless as the Corpse Fire Camel Array surged forward like a torrent.

But Wanqi Wu and Wanqi Yan did not join the charge.

He merely watched from a distance, peering through his army of burning white skeletons at his opponents, who were being forced toward the boundary line...

’Rong Taotao, you wanted a dignified fight, so I’ll give you one!’

’Under normal circumstances, I might not have needed to use this trump card. But... since you insisted, I will treat you with my highest honor!’

’You said there’s no need to respect your enemy on the battlefield.’

’This is where we differ! And this is the greatest respect I can show you!’

”It’s over! The Corpse Fire Camels! Wanqi Wu’s trump card!” Dai Liunian stared blankly at the magnificent sight of the Ten Thousand Camels Rushing, trembling inwardly. Even though he wasn’t the target of the attack, Dai Liunian felt as if his own doom had arrived!

”Has he already used his final trump card?” Su Wan clutched her chest—a habitual gesture whenever her emotions overwhelmed her. ”Is he going to end the match in one fell swoop?

Wanqi Wu has only used a Soul Skill like this once before! And that one time, it instantly decided the outcome of a previously deadlocked battle!”

Dai Liunian: ”Is it really about to end? Whoa~!!!”

As Dai Liunian cried out in alarm, the Corpse Fire Camel Array, spewing scorching flames, instantly engulfed Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao...

Ghastly white bones, burning flames, and blurred figures flickering faintly.

Everyone was waiting for the Corpse Fire Camel Array’s charge to end, expecting to see two incapacitated fighters—or perhaps two skeletons—left behind. But...

To everyone’s astonishment, the overhead camera view showed that Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao were still resisting!?

”Incredible! This is simply incredible!” Amidst the Ten Thousand Camels Rushing, Dai Liunian naturally couldn’t see the situation on the field clearly. He could only watch the close-up shots on the screen in front of him, and what he saw was an utterly shocking scene!

”Every step is fraught with peril! This is true heart-stopping danger!” Dai Liunian clutched his head with both hands and shouted, ”Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao are like a small boat tossed on a stormy sea! They’re still struggling to hold on as the violent winds and massive waves sweep over them!”

Meanwhile, within the Corpse Fire Camel Array, Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei dodged and weaved, sticking close to one another, their movements complementary and their coordination astonishingly perfect!

CRACK! With a sharp sound, the Snow Burst Ball in Rong Taotao’s hand shattered explosively. The skull of a Corpse Fire Camel that was lunging down to bite him instantly exploded!

Even though it was already a skeleton, after its skull shattered, it seemed to lose its ”life” all over again and actually collapsed?

In one fluid motion, Gao Lingwei leaped over the Fire Camel’s long neck bones. Wielding her Heaven-piercing Halberd, she reached back toward the Long Halberd in Rong Taotao’s hand.

CLICK! The cross-guards of the two halberds locked together. Gao Lingwei pulled, and before Rong Taotao could even make his next move, she had already dragged him sideways in an evasive maneuver.

One after the other, they vaulted over the Fire Camel’s neck. The next moment, two Corpse Fire Camels charged recklessly past the spot where Rong Taotao had just been, snapping their jaws.

”HISSS!!!”

The fallen Corpse Fire Camel beside them, which could have been used for cover, was smashed to pieces by another Corpse Fire Camel. The charging camel even threw its head back violently, flinging the massive skeleton away.

Gao Lingwei’s eyes narrowed, and she stomped her foot down!

Snow Realm Soul Skill, Elite-Tier: Snow Wind Charge!

WHOOSH...

The Corpse Fire Camel, over two and a half meters tall, was blown back a step, its long neck rearing backward.

”Get under it!” Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei were back-to-back. Another Snow Burst erupted from his hand, detonating right in front of him.

Gao Lingwei was instantly pushed forward, but she was prepared. She hooked an arm back to grab Rong Taotao, curled her body, and took advantage of the moment the Corpse Fire Camel in front of them had its head blown back to dive underneath its belly...

THUD THUD THUD... THUD THUD THUD...

The clatter of splintering hooves continued, a roaring torrent that swept past them on both sides.

”Hisss...” The Corpse Fire Camel above them let out a cry before it was immediately knocked over and flung away. In this tide-like Fire Camel Array, danger was ever-present!

As the Fire Camel above them was sent flying, Corpse Fire Camels crowded in one after another, stomping their bony hooves heavily, as if to trample the pair into dust.

BANG!

It was another Snow Burst—and the sound was of two of them detonating at once.

Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao had actually aimed at each other, and their Snow Burst Balls exploded.

Back then, at the bottom of the canyon, the Snow Bursts in Rong Taotao’s and Gao Lingwei’s hands had been their greatest asset for survival!

WHOOSH...

Lying on their sides, the two slid apart. And right down the path they had just cleared between them, the torrent of white bones roared past.

Although there were Corpse Fire Camels everywhere, the spot where they had just been was clearly the most congested, the very heart of the disaster zone!
