Chapter 1061: Flame Killing Array
The Origin Warrior"s meteor hammer did not make Meng Chao want to retreat. Instead, it made the flames in his eyes burn more intensely.
"Those two chains are not bad!"
After drifting all the way to Picturesque Orchid Lake, the biggest problem Meng Chao had encountered was not having a suitable weapon.
One should know that when he was in Dragon City, he was best at fighting with two chain blades.
Even the Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber was tied to the chain and could expand and contract freely. Only by combining both hardness and softness could he expand his attack range to the limit.
In the past half a month, the totem armor that was constantly evolving had prepared two attack modes for him, the Grim Reaper"s scythe and the Demon Subduing Pole.
However, without a chain, he could never fully display the extraordinary martial arts that he had practiced in the past.
Meng Chao had also tried the weapons such as the meteor hammer and iron flail that were attached to the a.r.s.enal of the b.l.o.o.d.y Skull Coliseum.
However, how high could the quality of the chains that were attached to the weapons that were specially designed for the civilian rat servants be?
The chains were different from ordinary weapons.
If they were loosened or broken in battle, it would bring disastrous consequences to the owner.
Therefore, Meng Chao had never found a suitable chain blade.
Seeing the dense cuneiform characters engraved on the chains of the Skull Crushers that were emitting dim light and surrounded by spiritual flames, Meng Chao felt that this trip to Blood Skull Temple was definitely worth the ticket price.
"Again!"
Crossing his arms, the two Grim Reaper scythes collided with each other, creating dazzling sparks. He circled the Origin Warrior and drew a nearly perfect semi-circle. Then, he jumped high up from the back, trying to land behind the Origin Warrior.
The Origin Warrior had noticed it long ago. Shaking his arms, the two meteor hammers flew above his head and below his crotch. They pincered Meng Chao from an unbelievable angle, one up and one down.
However, Meng Chao had jumped into the air in order to attract the enemy"s attack and expose his weakness.
As soon as he jumped high up, he had injected a stream of spirit energy into his spine, which compressed it like a spring.
When the two meteor hammers came at him, the "spring" suddenly loosened and increased its speed, allowing Meng Chao to narrowly escape the pincer attack of the meteor hammers. He even tapped on the surface of the hammers lightly and jumped over the Origin Warrior"s head, landing in front of him.
At that moment, the Origin Warrior"s two meteor hammers were still behind him.
Moreover, Meng Chao had injected a wave-like hidden force into the surface of the hammers with the tips of his feet, entangling the two chains together.
It was equivalent to the Origin Warrior"s arms being tied behind his back, leaving him wide open.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Meng Chao took the opportunity to swing nearly a hundred sharp blades at the gaps between the Origin Warrior"s face, neck, chest, and abdomen armor.
Meng Chao"s weapons were also made of liquid metal that was condensed into totem armor.
In addition, he used his super vision and extraordinary sense of touch to sense and lock onto the Origin Warrior"s vital points.
The blade, like a butcher dissecting a cow, pierced through the gaps between the armors, bringing out patches of dark red blood mist.
Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!
The blood spray would not stop.
It was as if the Origin Warrior"s body was merely a balloon filled with the desire to kill.
Before the other side unlocked the chain that held the hammer...
Meng Chao sheathed his blade in a timely manner. After a dozen back somersaults, he was back by Ice Storm"s side.
Ice Storm also absorbed a large amount of water vapor in the underground s.p.a.ce and condensed dozens of icicles in front of the two of them, forming crystal-clear "repelling horses."
After the icicles repelled the horses, Meng Chao panted heavily. He stared at the Origin Warrior nervously and observed his battle results.
Through the subtle feedback from the Reaper"s scythe that cut through flesh and tore through bones, he felt that at least seven or eight strikes had been deep enough to break more than ten of the Origin Warrior"s bones.
Even if this wave of attack could not paralyze his opponent, it could at least greatly reduce his opponent"s speed.
However, what he did not expect was that between the Origin Warrior"s seemingly broken armor, the flesh-torn wounds actually made "chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi" sounds.
Then, dozens of shivering granulation drilled out from the depths of the wounds.
Like scarlet surgical sutures, the wounds were quickly st.i.tched up.
The armor that had been slashed apart flowed slowly as if it had a life of its own and fused back together.
The cracking sound of bones and the cracking sound of machinery could be heard coming from the Origin Warrior"s body.
A beam of red light that was wreathed in killing intent erupted from the helmet that had been slashed askew by Meng Chao and locked onto Meng Chao"s heart.
The monster had actually recovered to its original state and was once again striding toward Meng Chao.
"No, an undead creature?"
A hair-raising "chi-chi-chi-chi" sound turned into a familiar yet terrifying name in Meng Chao"s mind.
He roughly knew what the so-called Origin Warrior was.
An undead creature that carried a liquid metal enhanced exoskeleton with strong artificial intelligence?
No wonder it was qualified to become the advanced orcs" ultimate weapon and the Holy Light faction"s nightmare, whom they were most unwilling to encounter on the battlefield!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two Origin Warrior"s two Skull Crushers had seemingly transformed into two prehistoric ferocious beasts that were burning with fury. They rampaged and smashed the icicles that Ice Storm had condensed into pieces.
Not only did all the ice crystals evaporate, even the mist was eliminated in an instant.
Wherever the war hammer went, the ground was set ablaze, forming tall and scorching walls of fire.
Meng Chao"s ultimate attack earlier appeared to have deeply infuriated the Origin Warrior or triggered the most vigorous fighting will of the ace gladiator from hundreds of years ago.
On his super heavy black armor, hundreds of dim cuneiform characters were shining with a scorching red glow, as if magma was pouring into them and flowing slowly.
The spirit flames surrounding the two Skull Crushers were spurting out like volcanic eruptions, forming magma that could be seen with the naked eye.
The former ace gladiator, 249 was also a member of the Blood Hoof Clan.
His totem armor was similar to the Blood Hoof totem armor, Lava"s Fury. It had the characteristics of triggering high temperature, producing flames, and even condensing magma.
Right now, every time the Skull Crushers roared, not only would they raise deafening roars and sweep away thousands of soldiers, they would also leave rune arrays that were two to three arms wide on the ground.
The scorching spirit flames inside the rune arrays spurted out like small magma pools that could last for more than ten seconds.
It was not hard to imagine what kind of effects would be triggered when the Skull Crushers smashed one"s body.
Although Meng Chao and Ice Storm gritted their teeth and dodged the "magma pool" created by the burning Skull Crushers time and time again...
When the entire s.p.a.ce in front of the altar was filled with walls of fire and magma pools, the s.p.a.ce where the two of them could move about was also compressed to the limit.
Meng Chao tried to do the same thing again, jumping onto the Origin Warrior"s head, shoulder, or back to fight with his blade.
However, the Origin Warrior"s armor was now bursting with flames. Meng Chao could hear his totem armor emitting sharp beeps through his auditory nerves as he got closer. It was a warning that his armor was about to melt.
There was nothing he could do. Meng Chao"s totem armor had been pieced together by attacking clan warriors who were alone in the Game of the Brave in the past half a month.
Of course, a few pieces of the Hundred-year Armor were used, and a small part of the armor came from a Thousand-year Armor.
However, compared with the full set of Thousand-year Armor worn by the former ace gladiator, 249, which was enhanced by the legendary Skull Crushers, it was nothing.
There was no need to mention Ice Storm.
Her frost characteristics and 240"s flame characteristics countered each other perfectly.
Plus, she had not fully recovered from the damage that Casanova had inflicted on her.
"I"ve just reached my limit."
Despite her best efforts of continuously condensing icicles and smashing them into the Origin Warrior...
They would freeze his joints at the most. Then, in the blink of an eye, the icicles would be completely melted by the lava.
"There is no way to carry on!"
Ice Storm avoided a cl.u.s.ter of boiling lava, but the tip of her hair was singed by the flames, turning from crystal clear to black and messy.
However, she did not even bother to extinguish the flames above her head. She shouted at Meng Chao, "If we can"t get close, we can"t tear apart his armor. Even if we tear apart his armor, it will be difficult to completely destroy his body of flesh and blood!
"If we continue fighting like this, we will definitely die!"
"That"s right. We must find a chance to kill him in one strike!"
Meng Chao observed his surroundings. His mind raced as he quickly said, "If you are given enough time, can you condense an ice crystal that can completely freeze him?"
"That"s..."
Ice Storm looked at the Origin Warrior who was flowing with magma all over his body. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you can give me the time to take ten deep breaths, I should be able to freeze him—three blinks at most!"
"What"s the use of that? Can you kill him in three blinks?"
"Maybe. Come on then. I will hold him back and try my best to condense the strongest ice crystal!"
Meng Chao stood in front of Ice Storm.
He raised his thumb at the Origin Warrior.
Then, he rotated his wrist a hundred and eighty degrees and pointed his thumb at the ground from the sky.
That was the most commonly used provocative gesture among the gladiators in the arena.
The former ace gladiator had indeed fallen into the trap.
He completely ignored it and also could not be bothered to pay attention to Ice Storm, who was gasping for breath and desperately meditating on the side.
However, all the magma that was blasted out by the two flame war hammers condensed into a raging wave and rushed toward Meng Chao.
It was not an easy task to find a few places to stand in the burning sea of lava.
It was not only the lava itself that made Meng Chao"s totem armor scream again and again.
The lava had caused the underground s.p.a.ce to heat up rapidly. The smoke distorted his vision, burned his skin, and disrupted his sense of touch. It also made Meng Chao feel that he was locked in an overloaded steel furnace.
Even his bones were turning to c.o.ke, and his brain was being steamed alive.
