IUD-Chapter 769 Out Of Control

"What?" 

Seeing the golden particles that suddenly appeared and enveloped both Sun and Habi, Fang Li couldn't help but be taken aback.

Those particles were clearly from the Somersault Cloud, a teleportation ability.

"But wasn't it supposed to be usable only once a day?"

Just as this question flashed through Fang Li's mind, he immediately understood the answer.

"Could it be that the different bodies controlled by the Scarlet Blazing God can each use Ruyi Bang and Somersault Cloud once?"

Thinking carefully, it seemed like a logical conclusion.

After all, there wasn't just one piece of Irokane.

Aria had Hihi'irokane.

The Monkey King also had Hihi'irokane.

So, if the Monkey King used Ruyi Bang and Somersault Cloud, did that mean Aria couldn't use them for the rest of the day?

Of course not.

Irokane is one yet all, and all yet one.

Although all pieces of Hihi'irokane share the same consciousness of the Scarlet Blazing God, they still maintain relative independence when separated.

As Fang Li realized this, the voices of Sun and Habi reached his ears.

"After all, we're just incomplete forms, unable to fully enjoy this game with you."

"So, I'll now go seek out the most perfect body and come back to play with you properly."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sun and Habi, along with the golden particles surrounding them, vanished from the spot.

All that was left was Fang Li, his figure sweeping forward to where they had just been, reaching out— but finding nothing.

"Tch..." 

Fang Li clicked his tongue but there was nothing he could do.

If his guess was right, the real trouble was about to begin.

Because...

"Aria is in danger..."

With that realization, Fang Li turned his head and looked toward the forest at the foot of the mountain.

"Boom—!"

A sudden, intense explosion erupted in the distance, unleashing a fiery wave that quickly spread out.

Instantly, trees were engulfed in the fire, slowly burning to the ground.

The explosion site transformed into a sea of flames in mere moments.

Without hesitation, Fang Li's figure turned into a streak of light, shooting straight toward the heart of the explosion.

...

The flames continued to expand.

One by one, the trees were consumed by fire, collapsing to the ground.

Amidst the blazing inferno, where the ground itself had turned blackened, Fang Li stood silently, observing the scene before him.

"Ugh..."

Three girls lay scattered across the ground, groaning in pain.

Their clothes were tattered, and their skin bore patches of scorched marks.

Shirayuki.

Riko.

Reki.

The three girls lay on the charred earth, clutching their weapons, struggling to rise.

Only Aria was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Fang Li didn't say a word.

He merely approached them with a frightening calmness.

"Ugh..."

Perhaps sensing someone approaching, the three girls' bodies trembled, trying to get up.

Seeing this, Fang Li immediately spoke.

"It's me, don't move."

Just that one sentence seemed to put the girls at ease, and they lay back down.

With that, Fang Li came up to the three girls. Flipping his hand, he produced a jewel.

"Zing—!"

A soft light emanated from the jewel, enveloping Shirayuki, Riko, and Reki.

Under the glow of the Healing Jewel, Shirayuki, Riko, and Reki's injuries were gradually improving.

However, they could not fully recover.

The Healing Jewel was only capable of healing severe injuries, and if it were fatal, it wouldn't work at all. Although the three girls didn't suffer fatal wounds, they were all seriously injured.

By using the Healing Jewel to heal all three at the same time, the effect was divided equally among them, resulting in only one-third of the healing power for each.

As the light of the Healing Jewel dimmed, their injuries were much better, but not completely healed.

"Li Li…"

"Fang Li-san…"

Riko and Reki both called out weakly to Fang Li.

"Li-kun…"

Shirayuki, who was closest to Fang Li, struggled to sit up and grasped his hand.

"Hurry... go after Aria…"

Shirayuki's voice was also weak but filled with urgency.

"We can't... let Aria be taken by those two... we can't..."

It seemed Shirayuki understood just how serious the situation had become.

However, Fang Li spoke up.

"I'll take you all to the palace first."

Without giving Shirayuki a chance to object, Fang Li scooped up Shirayuki, Riko, and Reki into his arms. Then, transforming into a streak of light once again, he shot toward the palace at the top of the mountain.

Only a blazing inferno remained, continuing to spread rapidly through the forest.

…

When Fang Li returned to the palace, he was met with a grim scene.

Led by Yan, Tsubaki, and Sarah, a group of Oni warriors lay on the ground, unconscious and covered in wounds.

Meanwhile, the Ranban members, under the direction of the four Kokos, were providing first aid to the injured Oni.

However, the Ranban members, including the Kokos themselves, were also injured. Some had bandages wrapped around them, while others had undergone emergency treatment.

The entire palace hall was filled with wounded individuals.

It looked as if they had been attacked.

No, it was clear they *had* been attacked.

"The attacker was Sun."

This voice suddenly spoke from beside Fang Li.

Fang Li wasn't surprised. He merely turned his head to look.

There, Zhuge Jinghuan approached slowly.

His body, however, was completely unharmed.

"To someone like him, a person like me who is completely unable to fight is insignificant, and since she also despises me, she couldn't even be bothered to attack."

Despite the serious situation, Zhuge Jinghuan remained exceptionally calm. He glanced at the three girls lying in Fang Li's arms and quickly directed some people to take the girls and start treating them.

"Judging from the current situation, I've pretty much guessed what happened." Zhuge Jinghuan looked at Fang Li and said, "Things have clearly spiraled out of control, far beyond my expectations."

Zhuge Jinghuan's plan had been quite clear.

He intended to appear after Fang Li and Habi fought and were both weakened, then swoop in to reap the benefits.

However, Zhuge Jinghuan hadn't accounted for one thing.

Sun had suddenly rampaged and injured everyone.

"Trying to make deals with a tiger... this is the inevitable outcome, isn't it?"

Zhuge Jinghuan sighed and said to Fang Li.

"In any case, as you can see, we no longer have any manpower here."

"From here on, you'll have to face the Scarlet Blazing God alone."
