The green-skinned demon was very clear about its mission: to kill the woman who was less than five meters away from it.
She was the commander of the entire Cloud Summit.
As long as she was killed, the human offensive would collapse, and millions of evolvers would become food in their mouths.
Among the ten top companions that had come down together, only it had made it this far, and it felt a sense of honor.
A glory to showcase its abilities in front of the boss.
It exerted almost all its strength, charging forward fiercely and attacking with all its might.
It could sense the difference in strength between itself and this human woman; as long as its attack hit, everything would come to an end.
But dreams were beautiful, achieving them was another matter.
A pillar of fire shot up into the sky, sending the green-skinned demon flying. The scorching heat caused its skin to start charring, and the intense pain made it scream with all its strength.
The attack didn’t end there; another pillar of fire erupted from the ground and struck the demon in midair.
Then came the third!
After three pillars of flame, everything seemed to disappear. The already charred green-skinned demon struggled to twist its body in midair, trying to land in a normal posture for a second attack.
But just as it completed this maneuver, it realized that beneath its body lay an expanse of... sea of flames!
It was indeed a sea of flames, with tides and waves.
Then, the green-skinned demon was slammed into the sea of flames by the surging waves.
The demon struggled, using all its strength, its claws stirring up the entire sea of flames.
Yet it could not break free, oddly trapped inside, enduring temperatures of unknown degrees.
After a few seconds, the sea of flames changed form, becoming a massive fireball, with the green-skinned demon at its center.
At first, the fireball was not very large, but at some point, it suddenly expanded. Any demon touched by it, as long as it wasn’t level eight or above, would be immediately ignited to ashes.
Once it grew to a diameter of over several dozen meters, it quickly shrank, finally becoming just a layer of faint red light that barely enveloped the skin of the green-skinned demon.
The demon landed on the ground, looking around at its charred body, then raised its arm to sniff it before beginning to howl.
Its body started to collapse, turning into wisps of black ash, first its skin and arms, then its legs, and finally its head.
A top-tier green-skinned demon was killed in a very short time.
At this moment, many people noticed the figure that had appeared beside Xia Lei... the flame man.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiangxue."
Xia Lei looked at the woman who had just slowly exited her flame state, Zhao Xiangxue, the vice-captain of the avoidance action squad, someone even Ye Zhongming envied, who possessed the powerful profession of flame sprite master.
"At your service." Zhao Xiangxue, wearing a strange mask, performed an ancient gesture towards Xia Lei, revealing her mischievous side.
The spirit woman was now controlling two top-tier beings. Although she couldn’t move like them, her eyes and mouth could, and she had witnessed this woman named Xiangxue kill a top-tier being.
The earth yellow pill had indeed displayed great power in the sky, dealing with six green-skinned demons single-handedly, but it hadn’t killed them, just pushed them back to give reinforcements as much time as possible to arrive.
The spirit woman and the black cat were entangled with the other three, and they weren’t able to kill them in a short time either. Who would expect that a human woman, whose fame was almost nonexistent and many even didn’t know her, would take down a top-tier green-skinned demon with just one move?
Only Xia Lei, who knew who Zhao Xiangxue was, found this not surprising at all.
Zhao Xiangxue’s profession was flame sprite master. Back when she went to the Ming Water Feast with Ye Zhongming, she was still a novice, but now she had become a top-tier professional, and her evolution level had reached nine-star.
