Chapter 1244: A Familiar Sight

Chapter 1244: A Familiar SightZhang Lie slowly clasped both hinds behind his back. "Have you intuited anything?"

Zhang Hanxiang clutched her face with her hand. "My brother's definitely doing this intentionally..."

Hong Xi sighed. "What a familiar scene..."

Sun Xiaowu clutched his forehead. "My sister lost to this attack twice in a row—she really has gone mad!"

Sun Mengmeng was so besotted with Zhang Lie that she was on the verge of losing her mind.

Zhang Hanxiang sniffed in disdain. "I must apologize for having a brother like this."

Sun Xiaowu sighed again. "I should be the one apologizing for having such a sister."

Despite knowing that Zhang Lie might well be tricking her, she had still fallen for the same ploy twice in a row. After all, what if Zhang Lie was serious this time? Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Sun Mengmeng's body burned with purplish-black flame so intense that it dyed the heavens the same color. She cast [Black Sun], forming a corona of purplish-black flame around her. Then, she activated her most impactful soulshards for battle, transforming from a young woman to a fierce warrior with a chitinous carapace, wreathed in black flame.

Her flames were so intense that the armor-type soulshard actually began to crack and split. Black flames seeped out from the cracks, burning so intensely that the ground began to melt and turn red.

By then, Sun Mengmeng had transformed into a fearsome warrior straight out of hell.

Even from afar, the members of Team Zenith could sense the sudden change in temperature, and the scorching heat pricked their skin.

Black flames flared from her garuda bow, manifesting in the form of an undead phoenix.

"[Netherworld's Gaze]!"

Hundreds of arrows, like beams of moonlight, shot toward Zhang Lie. Their flames felt as though they could destroy everything they touched.

Zhang Lie lifted his hand and deflected the stream of arrows, tossing them aside.

Sun Mengmeng's flames were of far higher temperature than in the second realm; she had learned how to channel her emotions into her flames.

The reason Zhang Lie had begun their match with this attack was to facilitate Sun Mengmeng with her emotions, and Sun Mengmeng hadn't disappointed him.

"[The Nine Moons of the Underworld]!"The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via /n/ov/el/b/in.

Nine flaming moons appeared in the sky, overshadowing the illumination within. As the flaming moons fell toward the ground, Zhang Lie sent a flurry of punches into the sky, causing the moons to explode in mid-air in a storm of arrows.

Against Sun Mengmeng, who had grown much stronger after the trials of the third realm, Zhang Lie couldn't take it as easy as before.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

Pale blue genetic energy rippled about Zhang Lie's arms. He flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend on the world. The sky began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.

A howling gale swept over the two hunters. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.

A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging.

Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the land and heading straight for Sun Mengmeng.

"[Lunar Apostasy]!"

Sun Mengmeng's entire bow was blazing. She launched her arrows straight into the air, which exploded among the clouds and formed a black moon.

The moon exploded and shot down rays of moonlight to counter the pale blue waves.

A huge rumble shook the heavens, and the world quaked.

As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie's signature genetic energy. When it came into contact with Sun Mengmeng's flames, huge quantities of steam rose into the air and were dispersed.

The flames surrounding Sun Mengmeng erupted like a volcano, distorting space in a huge area around her and strengthening the flames around.

Pitch-black flames morphed into vortices that clashed against the diffuse water-attuned genetic energy in the air.

The high-pressure steam continuously exploded like bombs.

Sun Mengmeng howled into the air. Fire-attuned genetic energy erupted from her body, and her pitch-black eyes burned red. The flames formed a black hurricane with her at its eye. It burned everything in sight; lava rose to the ground where she stood.

Zhang Hanxiang and the members of Team Zenith hastily retreated. Zhang Lie stood in the midst of the pitch-black hurricane, but the flames seemed to avoid him entirely. He clapped leisurely. "Very well done, Sun Mengmeng! Keep this explosive strength up."

"[Netherworld's Torrential Flame]!"

A frightening fan of flames poured out from Sun Mengmeng's bow, an attack far stronger than the moonlight she had summoned. The intensity of her technique shocked everyone.

The flames arced in the air and fell toward the battlefield in a waterfall.

Zhang Lie punched forward and bisected the flow of the flaming waterfall.

"[Lunarflame Shot: Ninefold Phantasmagoria]!" Sun Mengmeng's surroundings began to burn with dark red flames as she launched yet another attack.

Nine purplish-black phoenixes rose around her and shot toward Ghroth.

Zhang Lie sent nine punches forward, one for each phoenix. The nine phoenixes exploded into nine black roses in the air. Scorching heat enveloped the hunters, and even the members of Team Zenith were forced to activate their defenses.

"[The Boundless Blade: Expulsion]!"

Zhang Lie extended his pointer finger like a sword, and water-attuned genetic energy gathered around it. As he waved his finger, sword energy erupted like a wave, accompanied by a giant shark.

Sun Mengmeng shot out a few pitch-black arrows in succession toward Zhang Lie like a hurricane.

The shark swallowed all the arrows. Pitch-black flames exploded within its mouth in a burst of steam, obliterating the shark.

"[Lunarflame Shot: Might of the Garuda]!" Purplish-black flames gathered on Sun Mengmeng's bow once again, forming an arrow of pure black.
