A ball of blazing energy was taking shape in Saurun's hands. Its appearance was like a ball of continuously flowing red mercury, but the central temperature had already exceeded 1800 degrees. When the ball of energy exploded, even the hill was razed to the ground. The Rank 6 Flame Explosion Technique used a special method to compress a huge amount of energy. When it came into contact with a target, it released a terrifying energy attack, and was currently Saurun's strongest skill.

When the Blazing Explosion Technique ball of light in his hands started to emit a destructive aura, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind Saurun. Saurun quickly turned around, only to see an alloyed heavy sword ruthlessly slashing towards him. Before the sword had arrived, the energy ripples on its surface had already reached Saurun's body. Even though his body had crystallized, it still easily split open and expanded under the energy waves from the violent slashes.

It could be imagined that when the heavy sword truly landed on Saurun's body, his body would also be cut in half. Even if the energy from this attack wasn't enough to wear down the fire element in Saurun's body, even if Saurun could still recover from this strike, he would still be seriously injured!

Instinct told Saurun the result within a thousandth of a second, and with a groan, he used both hands to push the incomplete Flame Burst Spell towards the heavy sword.

Zero shook his head as he recovered from the impact. He raised his head and saw a scorching and alluring light engulfing Su's figure.

In the next moment, the entire cave shook, followed by a thunderous sound. At the same time, a large ball of fire first expanded before exploding. Then, flames surged like the sea as waves of fire swept through the entire catacombs!

The flames spread, almost licking Zero's body. After they had expanded their domain to its limit, they abruptly shrunk back and then disappeared into thin air. However, after this attack, at least half of the lake's water evaporated, filling the cavern with steam. In the mist, a figure staggered back and fell to the ground. The mist gradually dispersed, allowing Zero to see that the figure was Su Su!

Su Bai's entire body was giving off streams of hot smoke. His Night God Tactics suit had been instantly burnt to ashes. Right now, all that was wrapped up was a fragmented piece of cloth. Even the several composite templates that were used to protect the important parts of her body had disappeared, exposing large areas of her snow-white skin. Looking at the heavy sword at the side, the front of the sword had already been melted into molten metal, leaving only the back half of the sword emitting a shocking red light.

Thankfully, Saurun only used the semi-finished Flame Explosion Technique. Fortunately, Su Bai was wearing the Night God's defensive spell which had the highest defense from Asgard. Fortunately, the berserk attack had neutralized at least half of the Flame Explosion Technique's power. Otherwise, he would not only be unconscious, he would be blown to smithereens!

Zero was about to rush over, but when he saw Saurun emerging from the fog, he stopped.

He pointed the sniper rifle forward, aimed, fired, and moved in one breath. The sniper bullets hit Saurun, but the moment they made contact with his crystalline body, they were melted by the high temperature on the surface of his body. But no matter what the result was, after shooting out a shot, Zero immediately turned around and ran, dodging into a complicated corridor.

Sauron had wanted to kill Sue, but Zero's sniping had succeeded in rousing his instinctive orders from Andre. The order to kill zero was set to the highest level, overwhelming Sauron's other thoughts. He let out a muffled roar, and the sound waves brought with it a wave of flames as they spread into the air. Following him, Saurun started running.

The way he ran was very special. On Saurun's crystalline body, there were fine cracks between the crystals and the ones. These cracks were now spewing out large chunks of fire, and Saurun was instantly engulfed in it. As he ran, he dragged a bright beam of fire with him as he chased after Zero like a meteor. The layer of flame on Saurun's body could defend against both a sudden attack and ignite the air in front of him, creating a path of fire that was invisible to the naked eye. This would allow his speed to reach the pinnacle!

Saurun was clearly not good at speed, but his speed was at the speed of a fifth step. Flames were spewing out of his body, and in the blink of an eye, he had dove into a complicated corridor just like Zero. Suddenly, wherever Saurun went, countless glowing fungi were caught up in the flames, and pieces of them were ignited.

As Sauron sprinted along the side road, the fire in the side road flickered. He came to a sudden stop two hundred meters out in the side street. In Saurun's eyes, it looked like a spiderweb of tunnels. Who knew which tunnel they were heading to? But Saurun had his own way. He took a deep breath, then spread his hands wide, letting out a thunderous roar.

Suddenly, the flames on Saurun's body flared. A large area of flames rolled out from his body and rushed in every direction toward the tunnel. Wherever the flames passed by, in Saurun's mind, the map of a branch road would continuously appear in the darkness and gradually become complete. The flames erupting from Saurun's body spread for at least a thousand meters before gradually dying out!

Five hundred meters from Sauron, Zero was hiding behind a stalagmite that was connected to the ground above. This stalagmite was wide enough to hide in. At this moment, the bamboo shoot on the other side of the zero wall was covered with sparks. That was the scene of the glowing fungi burning. Just a moment ago, Saurun's burst of flames had swept over everything. If he had not hidden behind the stalagmite in time, he would have been burnt.

There was a strong aura of Saurun in the flames. Judging from the situation, Zerom must have used a method to look at the terrain. In Zero's senses, Saurun had already begun to move in his direction. In Zero's mind, the complex tunnels in the crypt were plotted as a floor plan. On this map, the dot of light representing Saurun was moving.

The shot he had fired at Sauron before he left had not only attracted his attention, but had also set a mental mark on him. A mental sign needs to be touched in order to work, but it can usually be attached to the medium. It was the same logic as Anthony's use of a sniper rifle to shoot at zero and unleash a psychic attack. Zero used the sniper's bullets as a medium to contact Sauron's body while also placing a mental symbol on his body.

Within a five hundred meter radius, Saurun's every movement was gone like the back of his hand!

Zero concealed his aura and retreated instead of moving forward. He was hiding behind a stalagmite in the direction Saurun was heading. Saurun was no longer the same as before. Not only did his strength increase by a whole stage, but now that he revealed his true attitude as a disordered person, he was comparable to an existence at the sixth step in his elemental form. As for the sixth stage of Elemental Domain, it was usually several times stronger than a Fighting Domain user of the same level.

Although he had used his previous evolution point to raise his overall strength to rank 6, against an Elementalist of the same rank as him, Zero still did not have the absolute confidence to win. It was just that for Zero, the strength of the opponent didn't matter. He only cared about whether the opponent could be killed or not. As for now, there were already too many people who claimed that they couldn't be killed yet they died to Zero, so Zero firmly believed that there was no such thing as an immortal life.

This confidence had been built up through countless battles and had become an unerasable will. At this moment, Zero didn't even consider the difference in strength between him and Saurun. Zero only considered the factors of trajectory, distance, and landing point. All these factors combined had only one purpose, and that was to kill Sauron.

When the spiritual emblem showed Saurun's dot of light entering the pupa-shaped branch road, the distance between him and Zero shortened to 300 meters!

He suddenly jumped out from behind the stalagmite. While he was rolling, his sniper rifle had already started firing at a predetermined location. After reading Sauron's information with precision, Sauron's height and physical signs all data are long and deep deep in the mind of zero. Zero can build a model in his mind to deduce the position of Sauron as he enters the tunnel, and thus grasp the shooting's landing point.

Sauron's head snapped back as the fire flashed in the canals. The sniper bullet hit him in the forehead, causing him to fall backwards. But when his broad back was level with the ground, Sauron stood up straight again as he leaned forward. Between his eyebrows, a sliver of molten iron dripped from his nose. It was the liquid after the sniper bullets were melted. Although a bullet hole had appeared on Saurun's forehead, the crystal around the bullet hole continued to produce new crystal threads. The crystal wire quickly formed a crystal film on the surface of the bullet hole. Following the formation of the new crystal wire, they combined to form a new crystal.

In a split-second, the wounds on his body disappeared.

Zero jumped up from the ground, dropped the bucket and ran. Roughly a hundred meters away, he suddenly stopped and then fell to the ground. In the nick of time, a current of scorching energy flew over his head and crashed into a rock shoot that was partially protruding from the ground in front of him. It did not explode, but the moment it came into contact with the bright red light, it went limp. Under the hot light beam, the rock quickly turned into glass, causing Zero to frown.

The crystal suits on each side of Saurun's chest had six crystal slits arranged in a circular pattern, from which, the same as the Flame Explosion Technique, the ability of a rank 6 spell, "Scorching Flame Breath" was constantly being emitted. Although the temperature of this high-temperature beam was only half of the Flame Explosion Technique's, it was better than not needing to gather energy to continuously fire. Especially in a narrow environment, one could display a terrifying amount of power.

Streaks of enchanting red light crisscrossed each other, weaving into a giant web of destruction. The energy impact of Scorching Flame Breath had already surpassed the defensive limit of Nightmare Tactics. While escaping from these terrifying rays of light, Zero accidentally brushed against one or two of them. The Night God Tactics suit immediately vaporized, and the surface of Zero's skin silently showed signs of carbonization. As soon as he moved, his charred skin split open, revealing pink muscle tissue beneath.

Thus, Zero was like a moth that had fallen into a spider web. He used a fast and ever-changing movement technique to travel through Saurun's Scorching Breath. Every second felt like he was dancing with the Death God, and death followed him like a shadow. The distance between them was less than 300 meters, but it felt like they had walked for half a century. When they finally reached the corner of the side road, Zero suddenly moved to the side and disappeared from Saurun's line of sight, causing three streams of burning flame to fall into the air and melt a large piece of the ground.

Saurun's angry roar resounded from the side passage. Zero didn't say a word as he moved forward, using the intricate side roads as his natural cover to find the best place to snipe at Sauron.

During this time of being chased down and killed, the sound of the sniper rifle rang out twice more, but the roar of the Flowing Flame did not stop for a single moment!

Zero took a deep breath and calmed his beating heart down. There were many charred wounds on his body, but the most serious one was a charred muscle on his back. That was because Saurun's Flame Explosion Technique had brushed past him. If it wasn't for the fact that he dodged quickly, he would have only been hit by the exploding Burning Wind. If he was caught in the middle of the explosion, he would have been reduced to a pile of minced meat.

Saurun, whose speed could not exceed zero, changed his strategy after realizing that playing hide and seek was not his strong point. He used the Flame Explosion Technique, Raging Flames, and other powerful abilities to blow up all the tunnels and limit the range of movement. Zero knew very well that when he was forced into a place that Sauron had set down, he would probably be waiting for his death.

The Elemental Transformation of Saurun was very powerful, at least for the current Zero. Some of the human's obvious weaknesses had disappeared. During the previous three sniping attacks, Zero had attacked Saurun's forehead and chest respectively. The attack on Saurun's head and heart only slowed him down a little. In order to increase the frequency of his attacks, Saurun did not even try to dodge or defend. As he let Zero hit him, he took the opportunity to attack. A few of the more serious injuries on Zero's body suffered from this kind of counterattack.

However, zero was not without its harvest. However, Saurun didn't allow himself to be hit by the sniper rifle, which was aimed at Saurun's right chest. Instead, he used his right arm to block the sniper rifle. Of course, it was impossible to tell from Saurun's reaction that his weakness was in his left chest, but it was worth a try.

Behind him, there was the sound of an explosion and the rolling of rocks and sand. Zero knew that Sauron had sealed off another branch and that he didn't have much time left. The longer it dragged on, the more the scale of victory tilted toward Sauron. Su Bai quietly picked up his sniper rifle and was about to continue moving. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and two diamond-shaped crystals that were wrapped in a red blush floated over.

This was the Elementalist Floater Cannon, which had the ability to lock onto targets and attack them. Feng was almost hit by Sauron's Flame Explosion because of this, if there wasn't anything. When he saw these two little things, Ling Chen knew that Saurun had caught up. He raised his sniper rifle and fired. The sniper rifle hit the left side of the Floater Cannon.

The crystal structure of the Floater Cannon wasn't as solid as Saurun's main body. The moment it was hit, it exploded into a ball of fire. However, the other Floater Cannon had already opened fire. From the tip of the crystal, an energy beam similar to a burning breath shot out. Of course, this wasn't all that difficult. While dodging, he fired again and the remaining Floater Cannon exploded. However, the moment the Floater Cannon exploded, Zero felt a terrifying heat coming from behind him. He only had time to turn around to see Saurun lunging over with the raging flames around him!

It turned out that the two Floater Cannons were only used to attract Zero's attention.

A hot wind blew against his face, and Saurun arrived. Zero groaned. By then, it was already too late to escape. He simply raised his sniper rifle towards Saurun. Saurun's face revealed a fiendish smile. He didn't try to dodge. Instead, he stretched out his hand and grasped the muzzle of the gun. At this moment, Zero pulled the trigger.

Slow down the time by a thousand times, you could see the needle striking the shell, the gunpowder in the shell was ignited, and the pressure in the air instantly reached 3000 degrees, pushing the warhead, shooting out along the barrel at a speed of 800 meters. However, just as the warhead reached the front end of the barrel, it was melted into liquid metal by the high temperature. The high temperature originated from Saurun's palm. If one looked closely, they would see white flames escaping Saurun's palm.

This was a 2,000-degree heat. Not only did it melt the bullet, it also melted the barrel of the sniper rifle. Red sparks spread out from the gun, and Zero Dang released the sniper rifle and kicked Saurun heavily. Naturally, this kick wasn't much of a threat to Saurun, but it was enough for Zero to push him out.

Zero Fly retreated, landed, rolled and then bounced up. His body leaned forward, the tip of his feet pushed forward, leaving afterimages behind him as he charged forward. But at this moment, the temperature behind his back suddenly rose. There was no need to turn around to see a bright red light illuminating the side of the side road. The walls of the mountain broke through the air as they approached from behind. Zero dove forward again, and the red beam of heat brushed past him.

However, this time, his speed had decreased and he was unable to completely evade the beam of light. So that the beam grazed past the invader and the carrying gear, and the pawnbroker undid the lock on the gear and let both fall to the ground at once. Due to the special material, even though the light beam had brushed past the aggressor, it only left it red for a moment before disappearing in the blink of an eye. However, the materials used to carry the equipment were ordinary. A crack appeared in the middle, causing the ammunition and grenades to fall out.

A few more beams of light struck the zero direction, forcing him to stop. He spun around and faced the enemy in front of him. In the corner of his eye, a knife hilt fell into Zero's eyes. It was the unactivated Light Tooth. It was lying on the ground quietly, not even three meters away from zero.

Zero gritted his teeth and the silver lines on the edge of the golden pupil in his right eye suddenly gathered, forming a silver vertical pupil. Zero took a deep breath, and when he exhaled again, it was all hot smoke.

He moved, and in the instant that he pounced towards Light Tooth, he shot out again, barely dodging the baldy's high-temperature beam. However, even more beams of light came crashing over. Zero gripped the Light Tooth in his hand tightly as an ice-cold look appeared in his eyes. Wherever he moved, his cold gaze never left Sauron's left chest.

After entering berserk mode, Zero's speed and movements became even faster and more unpredictable. At the very least, with Saurun's speed of calculation, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the movements of zero. But now the two sides were on a narrow side road with two wide ends, which determined that no matter how fast they moved, they would still have a blind spot. The burning breath that was continuously released from Saurun's chest would occasionally shoot out and shoot out randomly. It would use an extremely complicated and disorderly shooting mode to deal with the strange movement mode.

In just three seconds, Zero was right in front of Saurun. However, his shoulder, chest, and right thigh were all pierced by the hot beam of light. This was the price he had paid for getting close to Saurun. What he got in return was an opportunity to attack Saurun directly.

In Saurun's eyes, Zero raised his right hand. In his right hand, there was something strange. It was something like a dagger grip, with a blunt front end. Saurun really didn't know what to do with it. But when a blade made out of pure energy shot out, it was like a demon beast baring its fangs. A peerless and cold aura caused the disordered person who did not know what fear was to feel a chill in his heart!
