Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1571 - 361: Chen Jiusi: So This Is All a Half-step Melting God Amounts To

Aoooo...

Earth-shaking roars erupted from Fei Lian and the Vermilion Bird, instantly igniting the fury of the Fire God Zhu Rong with their beastly cries.

Zhu Rong's temper burned like an inferno; that's why he clashed so violently with the Water God Gong Gong in the past, driving Gong Gong to smash his head against Buzhou Mountain.

Though the Martial Arts Illusion formed by Chen Jie captured just a sliver of Zhu Rong's immense might, these stone figures still carried echoes of the god's own fiery disposition and presence. Thus, Chen Jie's Zhu Rong statue brimmed with that same explosive rage.

Provoked by Fei Lian and the Vermilion Bird right then, Zhu Rong's fury boiled over in an instant. How dare these lesser gods show such insolence? It was intolerable!

Seized by this fury, the statue of Zhu Rong lunged straight at the Vermilion Bird and Fei Lian.

The two statues promptly beat their wings, unleashing a torrent of golden flames from the Vermilion Bird. These were the Vermilion Bird's ultimate blaze, the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.

Fei Lian, the esteemed Wind God, refused to back down against Zhu Rong's assault. Moments later, he beat his massive wings, sending boundless Wind Gang tearing through the heavens and whipping up a ferocious storm across the firmament.

This horrifying Wind Power sliced through all in its path like razor blades, inspiring sheer dread.

Sensing the ferocity of those gales, Zhu Rong's eyes tightened, and he smashed a fist into the winds. From his shoulders, the pair of enormous serpents bared their fangs with venomous hisses.

Hisssss...

Orange flames then gushed from the serpents' jaws.

At the sight, the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird beat its wings once more, then parted its beak with a whooshing inhale that swallowed every flame in the vicinity.

Chen Jie watched with narrowed eyes, and Zhu Rong's wrath intensified next. In a heartbeat, Zhu Rong bellowed in outrage.

Aoooo...

Immediately after, a savage punch hurtled toward the Vermilion Bird and Fei Lian. Though they felt the punch's dread power, shock gripped them—right as the Vermilion Bird began gulping down the flames.

Still, the colossal blast from the flames hurled the Vermilion Bird backward.

A deafening crash echoed as the Vermilion Bird tumbled through the air multiple times.

The assault on the Martial Arts Illusion rippled back to its cultivator at once. Elder Hua's features twisted, his face blooming into an unnatural crimson flush—a stark sign of the backlash from that strike.

Elder Shu hurriedly commanded Fei Lian to unleash slashing Wind Gang against Zhu Rong.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The raging whirlwind carved into Zhu Rong's Illusion like a blade, severing his head with a sharp slice, yet it proved futile since decapitation barely dented his form.

Facing such resilience in Zhu Rong, Fei Lian whipped up another surge of Wind Gang, launching the gales with wild fury. But as they struck Zhu Rong head-on, shredding him into pieces,

a sudden whoosh of flames erupted across his severed limbs, the blaze flaring high before coalescing mid-air into a sea of fire that gradually fused, birthing a gigantic fireball.

Whoosh, whoosh, and then the enormous fireball compressed, reshaping into Zhu Rong's statue anew.

Chen Jie's face twisted into a mocking sneer at the sight. Neither Elder Shu nor Fei Lian could have foreseen that Zhu Rong embodied the flames themselves. Zhu Rong was fire, and fire was Zhu Rong!

Only if the flames died out could Zhu Rong truly perish.

Realizing this, Elder Shu saw the strategy's failure too late. With a thunderous boom, Zhu Rong vanished from his spot, reappearing before Fei Lian in the blink of an eye to blast him skyward with a punch.

"Puff!"

The shattering of the Martial Arts Illusion channeled a brutal wave of destruction straight to Elder Shu. He coughed up blood violently, his complexion draining to ghostly white in moments.

Spotting Elder Shu's dire condition, Elder Hua roared in fury before Chen Jiusi could interject: "Don’t think you’re the only one who can wield flames."

Whoosh...

Amid the roar, the Vermilion Bird blazed brighter, ascending heavenward in a radiant inferno as golden flames dominated the skies.

But soon, the Vermilion Bird ascended higher, deploying its technique known as Fire Feather Descent.

In a flash, myriad blazing feathers rained down upon Zhu Rong's statue. Zhu Rong lifted his arm just then, summoning a colossal flame barrier that intercepted every fiery plume.

Bang, bang, bang...

The cataclysmic blasts hammered the barrier, igniting sparks of fire everywhere. As the golden feathers clashed against it, their Flame Power was swiftly devoured by the shield.

Elder Hua's face darkened at this, sensing the trap closing in, and precisely then, a bold voice rang out.

"Junior Brother Hua, I’ll help you."

Immediately, Elder Shu bellowed in anger, flooding the heavens with ceaseless gales as Fei Lian materialized behind the Vermilion Bird.

All while the Vermilion Bird kept showering fiery feathers downward.

Yet in that instant, Fei Lian snapped his wings wide, weaving boundless Wind Power into the Vermilion Bird's inferno.

Fanned by the winds, the flames exploded in potency, and the Nanming Lihuo roared to new heights with wind's aid, making the descending fiery feathers swell and fuse together. Moments later, a colossal fire pillar plummeted from the skies with a resounding boom.
