Chapter 296: Scaring Aimi

Makato jumped backwards and wiped the blood away. Even as he dodged Lu Zheng's punch, a small cut had appeared on his cheek.

Raising his hands up, the Togan revolved as five black scythes appeared above Makato. The scythes were completely black and their blades were long and sharp that they could easily render the toughest of metals in pieces. Faint blue Spectral Spark Flames danced on the blades of the scythes.

"Fall!" Makato's voice was hoarse as he commanded.

Lu Zheng channelled his Essence and the air around him grew chilly. Five great hands made entire out of translucent ice formed around him before flying into the air to catch the five scythes.

The yang nature of the Spectral Spark Flame attempted to repel the ice Essence present in the great hands but the yin nature of the flame nulled the repulsion. At the same time, hundreds of icicles formed mid-air and below the ground, jutting towards Makato.

"Hmm!" Makato could perceive the future with his Togan and reacted swiftly to the icicles from the ground. He used his methods to parry the icicles from the air.

Even so, it was a very difficult task. The icicles ran through the spatial gaps and did not follow a single path. One moment, an icicle would be right before his face and the next, it would appear behind him.

If it were not for the barriers that he had formed, Makato would have been gravely injured long ago.

Makato was not the only one under great strain. Lu Zheng fought to keep the five scythes at bay as the five great hands grabbed them. He felt like he was pushing against a mountain and that the slightest drop in focus would render all of his efforts futile.

The pressure was so great that he had to cancel the Wind Deity technique in order to focus more on Makato.

Both of them were multitasking as the area around them turned into a world of ice. At the threshold of this icy world was a sea of inferno caused by Lu Zheng's Fire Deity.

Yu Er Dan was a strength path expert at the first tier of Original realm and she had over two hundred strength path dao imprints. Each of her punches and kicks were amplified to an astronomical rate.

Aimi was at the third tier of Acquisition realm. She was unable to contend with the passionate and fervent attacks of the battle crazy Yu Er Dan.

Even with the aid of the rest of her group, her life was hanging by a slim thread that could snap at any moment.

Crimson flames surged as heat licked the bodies of the members of the Changshou Tong Race. Flame Balls rained like meteors, causing them to dodge and defend. Some unlucky ones were consumed by the flames and died a ghastly death. Not even a shred of their bodies remained in existence.

Sweat poured from Aimi's forehead with fear as she stared at the Fire Deity's featureless face. It was as if she was peering at a crackling hearth: "How? How can he be fighting Makato and still have the strength to control this thing?"

The Fire Deity clasped its palms together and strong fire Essence leaked from them causing the air to boil and churn. The chaos energy in this place had already dispersed completely because of the presence of the Vermillion True Flame.

The fire Essence became like a stream of fire that flowed towards Aimi and the remaining survivors of her group. Before it even reached them, they could feel their insides burn and their features char.
