Chapter 726: Chapter 556: Near Annihilation

Su Yu took Ling Sha’s body, which had been brutally attacked by the flame giant bird. He felt a sense of sorrow and gently closed Ling Sha’s remaining unblinking eye. Su Yu understood that the formidable fighters like Ling Sha, who had overcome countless hardships to exceed their original world and reach the "Bronze Tower," dying halfway before entering the Upper Realm, were filled with unyielding spirit and regret deep down.

But that’s the brutal reality.

"Move!" Su Yu uttered after placing Ling Sha’s corpse gently, pointing towards the scattered rocks in the distance, then dashed off.

The sky was filled with a flock of Flame Birds, how could they outrun the flame giant birds soaring in the sky at their current speed? Their only option right now was to find a feasible approach that could resist the aerial attack, and then put up a fight.

Su Yu, Ma Ziye, Qin Jiagui, Yano, Yang Yue, Zhu Xiuqi, Han Xiao, Li Mingli, and the nameless siblings, under Su Yu’s lead, all hurried towards the rock formations.

Most of the terrain here was composed of mountains and forests. The forests would typically be good hiding places, considering the size of the Flame Birds would limit their ability. But based on the information from the Sacred Eye, the flame giant birds could emit intense flames reaching thousands of degrees. If they hid in the forest and the Flame Birds ignited it, then it would be even more dangerous. Therefore, he led people towards the rock formations instead. However, in such chaos, many people had run into the forest on the other side.

Witnessing the flock of flame giant birds dissipating, like a sky-shielding fire red colour, high above them, the team hadn’t even gotten the opportunity to rush into the rocks yet before a large number of Flame Birds had already descended above them, like a fiery red curtain blocking the sky.

The group that had rushed into the forest was facing the same issue. They had just entered when an almost endless amount of Flame Birds descended over the forest. Then, nearly a hundred flames descended, like fiery dragons, instantly igniting the forest, transforming the would-be safest hideout into a sea of flames.

"Ah--"

"No--"

"Help--"

The sounds of panicked cries echoed, alarming Su Yu and the others. At this point, the number of people around him had dwindled to less than two hundred. They hadn’t made it to the pile of rocks yet when countless flame columns, like fire dragons, were being spewed out from the Flame Birds in the sky.

These flames, which could reach several thousand degrees, could instantly melt metal. Su Yu noticed a giant rock that evaporated instantly under the assault of the flames, finally realizing that their prior move to rush into these rocks for cover was to no avail; they offered no protection against these intense high-temperature flames.

Blazing flames filled the sky, spraying downwards in a blink of an eye while Su Yu watched as nearly a hundred First-Level or Zero-Level Bronze Warriors, along with a massive amount of rocks, evaporated right in front of him under the high-temperature impact.

The high-temperature flames of the Flame Birds were terrifyingly powerful; no wonder the flock of Winged Dragon Birds started to flee upon detecting the Flame Birds. The supposed sky ruler, Winged Dragon Beast, was no match and seemed insignificant compared to the Flame Birds.

Moreover, these Flame Birds were smart. They didn’t attack their enemies recklessly but stayed tens of meters above and sprayed their flames from there. Faced with these high-temperature flames reaching thousands of degrees, Second-Level Bronze Fighters could withstand it for a few seconds and then possibly escape unharmed. However, Zero-Level or First-Level Bronze Warriors who are exposed to these flames would pretty much be instantly vaporized.

As for Su Yu, who had reached the Third Level, his Special Power blood was thousands of times more potent than a typical Third-Level Bronze Warrior. Naturally, these flames couldn’t harm him, but the high-temperature blast still melted the black iron scales covering his body, leaving the bronze ones on his left arm and chest intact, causing him to feel the intense heat and pain.

He too was susceptible to injury from these high-temperature flames.

His back muscles twitched as spine spikes shot out, darting off with a thunderous "poof poof poof poof". Suddenly, two Flame Giant Birds in the sky screeched in agony, their bodies plummeted straight down.

After hitting the ground, these two giant birds were not dead yet. They opened their mouths to spew out flames, but Su Yu leapt up before they could. He jumped high into the air and landed with two distinct "smack" sounds as his feet landed precisely on the heads of these two birds, crushing their brains and killing them instantly.

Although Su Yu had taken out two of the Flame Giant Birds, there were hundreds more in the sky. The swarm of Flame Giant Birds took a breath in unison, and the second wave of flame attacks showered down again, covering hundreds of square meters and ensnaring all of those who remained, including Su Yu, Ma Ziye, and Qin Jiagui.

The fiery flames were raining down from the sky, leaving no place to escape. Facing a life or death situation, the survivors fought with all their might. Nobody dared to hold back. Qin Jiagui bellowed at the fiery onslaught, "Ni Ping is waiting for me, how could I possibly die here—" His metallic body suddenly expelled a fire as intense as that spewed by the Flame Giant Birds. His entire metal skin turned red-hot, and a crimson flame wing rose from behind him. Confronting the shower of flames from the sky, Qin Jiagui roared, stomped his feet, and leapt into the sky, his Double Shoulder Cannon Tower launching incendiary rounds.

With two thunderous "boom booms", the sky full of flames exploded. Instantly, two Flame Giant Birds were blasted away, swaying precariously. However, at the same time, Qin Jiagui was almost seized by several Flame Giant Birds clawing at him from the sky.

Qin Jiagui grunted, and his body started to plummet downwards.

Ma Ziye clapped her hands together, and a flame sparked to life within her chest. Strangely, as the flame lit up, the fiery onslaught falling from the sky seemed to have its own consciousness. It immediately parted itself, tumbling down on either side of her, seemingly afraid of the candle flame within her.

All known beings frowned seeing Yano, Eldritch, and regenerated from a black smoke covering his entire body. This smoke twisted and eventually transformed into a fearsome giant beast. The towering black beast roared up at the sky and inhaled the raining flames.

"Uh?" Ada, who was sitting on Su Yu’s shoulder, couldn’t help but turn to look at Yano. She noticed an unusual change within Yano, saw the black beast inhalation, and surprisingly, engulfed completely the storms of flames channeling towards Yano. It then patted its belly as though satiated, giving out a belch, and smoke billowed out of its mouth and nose.

At this moment, seeing that Qin Jiagui and Ma Ziye seemed to be able to protect themselves, Su Yu took a deep breath. He gave a long roar, started his "Eight-step Soar", and his Spine Bone Wings began to appear.

The bone wings emitted a steam whistle-type noise. Thick steam shot out, pairing with the "Eight-step Soar", Su Yu soared into the air, instantly ascending several dozen meters. His special power within surged, forming a layer of "armor" on his body, withstanding the fiery onslaught.

The Bronze Giant Arm swept, and with a "hiss", a Flame Giant Bird’s head shattered, falling to the ground.

As Su Yu’s "Eight-step Soar" reached the seventh step, he stepped on the back of this Flame Giant Bird, rising once again. The eighth step landed on another Flame Giant Bird.

The terrifying power of the "Eight-step Soar" came from the cumulative strength of the previous seven steps. As Su Yu stepped down, this Flame Giant Bird couldn’t even let out a whimper before it exploded into a splatter of gore in mid-air.

The fiery flames rained down on Su Yu, relentlessly searing his "armor" of special power, creating a "hiss hiss" sound. To resist the thousands of degrees of high temperature, Su Yu had to harness his abundant internal special power, constantly replenishing the "armor" protecting his body and repelling the searing heat.

Even with the protection of the "armor", Su Yu still felt as if a ball of flames was burning inside of him. He used the Spine Bone Wings to eject steam, which pushed him into the flock of Flame Giant Birds in mid-air, pummeling them, causing one after another to fall. The ground below was filled with the constant uproar of roars and cries. Such fierce and brutal combat showed that despite his power being hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that of an average Third-Level Bronze Warrior, he simply couldn’t protect anyone in this situation, even though he had the power to kill all these Flame Giant Birds.

Every time Su Yu hit a Flame Giant Bird, his body rose higher by leveraging the opposing force, allowing him to hit the next Flame Giant Bird. Using this method, in the blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen Flame Giant Birds. However, these Flame Giant Birds quickly began to scatter, widening the space between them, and after killing his fifteenth bird, Su Yu, much to his disappointment, was finally forced to fall from the sky without anything to leverage against.
