A straight figure appeared in the center of the beating sea of fire. The figure held a long knife in his right hand and walked towards the outside step by step. At a certain moment, the shadow reflected by the flame was replaced by the rolling flames, and the man's true face finally appeared in front of Charlotte.
He is Wu Qi. Wu Qi's whole body was covered in a dark gray combat uniform. The newly replaced combat uniform was burned away by Charlotte's flames after just one cover. Only half of his combat pants remained intact. The torso exposed in the hot air is covered with strong muscles with clear outlines. The muscles move in rhythm with Wu Qi's movements, as if they contain ocean-like power. Besides, the surface of these muscles is covered with a layer of gray and black. Apart from the dust, there are almost no traces of burns.
Wu Qi raised his head, and two sharp sword-like gazes shot out from his obsidian eyes. His face and hair also remained intact, as if he had not walked out of the sea of fire.
Charlotte was slightly shocked. He was sure that his attack had hit, and the combat uniform on Wu Qi's torso was also burned. However, the fact was that Wu Qi's entire body was damaged, only his clothes.
In Charlotte's understanding, only the second-level "high temperature immunity" can offset some of the power of "ignition". However, Wu Qi is not a pioneer and does not possess any special powers. This made Charlotte feel that Wu Qi was evil even more, as if he had a "flesh and blood body" with unlimited secrets.
Charlotte showed a cold expression. He raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and quickly condensed a huge fireball in the palm of his hand. The fireball has the same power as before, releasing heat that distorts light.
He would rather believe that Wu Qi used special methods to avoid the high damage range of the flames, rather than believe that Wu Qi was immune to his flames. If you want to know the result, do it with your own hands and see it with your own eyes, and you will know!
Wu Qi spoke calmly and said to Guo Baibo and Gao Yuan who were lying on the ground: "I will hold Charlotte here, and you should seize the time to escape."
After Wu Qi finished speaking, he took a step forward and stood with his long knife horizontally, blocking the way of the two of them.
Charlotte smiled ferociously. The fireball in his hand suddenly collapsed and then expanded into a flame pillar with a diameter of 60 centimeters. He launched the Skyfire Plunge at Wu Qi from a distance of less than ten meters!
The gushing pillar of fire shot straight towards Wu Qi. Charlotte watched with her own eyes as the pillar of fire falling from the sky rushed in front of Wu Qi, but Wu Qi still stood in front of Guo Baibo and Gao Yuan and did not avoid it.
The next second, Wu Qi raised the long knife with lightning speed. The long knife blade moved forward and collided with the Sky Fire Pendant instantly. The violent impact of the pillar of high-heat fire poured down on the blade of the long sword, and Wu Qi put his left hand on the back of the long sword, exerted force on his legs and waist, and used his whole body to block the impact of the Sky Fire Pendant.
In an instant, the huge pillar of fire was reflected by the blade of the long knife at an angle of 45 degrees! The red pillar of fire suddenly shot into the store on the left side of the street. After destroying the door of the store and burning it, the entire small store was turned into a sea of fire like hell.
The destroyed door was in the shape of orange-red lava, and thick smoke dragons billowed out of the sea of fire. Charlotte immediately shattered the fireball in her palm, stopping the Skyfire Pendant's attack without causing greater damage to the buildings on the street. Otherwise, if it lasts for another one or two seconds, the fire will spread to the buildings on both sides.
Wu Qi held the long knife in his hand and swung it forward 180 degrees, swaying away the white air rising from the blade. Charlotte saw that Wu Qi's three-foot-long sword remained cold and pitch-black despite being attacked by the Sky Fire Pendant, which was over 1,000 degrees Celsius, without even a hint of crimson appearing.
It turns out that Wu Qi relied not on his body to offset the fire damage, but on this long knife!
Wu Qi looked at Charlotte's shocked eyes coldly. In the time he bought, Guo Baibo and Gao Yuan had already climbed up and ran back more than 20 meters. All he needs to do next is to stop Charlotte here and quickly move the battlefield before Charlotte's men arrive.
Wu Qi glanced at the long knife in his hand and felt overwhelming emotions brewing in his heart. Maybe he was Charlotte's loser once, but in just a few days, his strength has changed. With this "awakened" long knife and the means to resist Charlotte's fire attack head-on, Wu Qi was confident that he could deal with Charlotte with his agility.
Although the long knife has become unfamiliar, even five times heavier, and can no longer be used like an arm, it does not matter!
Wu Qi's shoulders suddenly dropped five centimeters. The moment he lowered his center of gravity, the bulging calf muscles shot him out like springs! He was like a cannonball, hitting Charlotte at a speed of over 130 kilometers per hour, so fast that even super-sense-enhanced dynamic vision could not catch it!
At this moment, Charlotte recalled the panic of being led by Wu Qi's high-speed movement. He instantly condensed two fireballs in the air in front of his chest. Before the fireballs even had time to expand to a size of 20 centimeters, they were controlled by Charlotte and forced to twist inwards, trying to explode and eject strong winds that pushed him back.
But the trajectory of the fireball was still too slow. The distance between Charlotte and Wu Qi was only ten meters!
A ghostly afterimage appeared in an instant, and Wu Qi broke into within a foot and a half of Charlotte. While moving at high speed, he bent his right arm and put the long knife on his waist. At this moment, his contracted right arm suddenly shot forward, using the blade of the long knife as a stabbing sword, trying to find the fastest and closest attack!
The blade cut through the air like a stabbing sword, making a sharp sound of breaking wind. The moment before Charlotte's fireball shrank to explode, it stabbed the chest of the Black Cocoon combat uniform.
Two fireballs exploded in front of Wu Qi's eyes, and the emanating flames immediately raged in the air.
After all, Charlotte was pushed by the strong wind and escaped to a place thirty meters away before her body was penetrated by the long knife. The three centimeters of the tip of the long knife thrust forward were stained with rare blood drops. The blood drops were deep red, like cinnabar being cut out from the heart.
Wu Qi moved his feet flexibly, turning slightly sideways to avoid the first wave of diverging flames, and then used his long knife to block the second and subsequent waves of flames with ease. He used a "chop" to cut the sweeping flame wave into two pieces. The shattered flame wave twisted and turned into countless crimson embers, which fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Charlotte finally touched the ground with both feet. His first reaction was to check the wound on his chest. A very thin gap was punctured in the center of the left atrium of the black cocoon combat uniform. Behind the gap was a three-centimeter stab wound, sporadic blood overflowing.
Charlotte couldn't believe that he was actually injured by Wu Qi while the fire phoenix was burning cocoon!
