45: SS-rank talent, Crimson Lotus Demon Flame

Same dungeon, different spaces.

Two figures in each, racing against time to reach the rooftop.

Sheng Tianqi frowned for some reason; he suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart.

Soon, he understood, his gaze sinking.

He stood still, not continuing upward.

"Very well, you win."

..."Found it!"

With the clues provided by the future, Tang Ping was, after all, one step faster.

He activated the power, pulling down the circuit breaker.

The air raid siren, echoing throughout the city, blared at this moment.

Countless Infected were startled awake from their slumber, and roars emanated from the dead silent isolated city.

Then, figures converged towards the Pearl Tower!

Survivors also heard the sound, emerging from various nooks and crannies, and upon seeing the Infected drawn by the noise, a light suddenly gleamed in their eyes.

In that light was the world outside the city.

【Congratulations to the player for completing the unique hidden quest!

【exotic treasure - saviors ring

Description: Can raise any rank Talent to at least S-rank; can raise S-rank and above Talents by one rank;

Can be combined with a Level 7 Shelter to create a hundred-mile pure land.】

"It can even directly raise any level Talent to S-rank!"

Tang Ping looked at his D-rank Talent, but then, without hesitation, he used it on his S-rank Talent!

An S-rank Talent, of course, was far from comparable to an SS-Rank Talent!

"Upgrade S-rank Talent, Red Lotus Flame!"

【Congratulations to the player for using the saviors ring, S-rank Talent Red Lotus Flame, upgraded to SS-Rank Talent!

Red Lotus Demonic Flame!】

A piece of information about the Talent appeared in his mind.

Bang! The glass outside the window suddenly shattered, and an Infected with fleshy wings flew in!

Tang Ping opened his eyes, and black-red flames burned within them.

Vaguely, a black-red flame lotus could be seen in his eyes.

The next second, a black-red flame lotus also appeared in the eyes of the Infected with fleshy wings.

"Roar!" The fleshy-winged Infected screamed and fell directly.

The strange thing was that the fleshy-winged Infected had no injuries whatsoever on its entire body.

This was even more bizarre than the S-rank Red Lotus Flame!

"Can the current SS-Rank Talent, Red Lotus Demonic Flame, directly burn a person's spirit?" Tang Ping murmured, his gaze falling out the window, where countless Infected were coming towards the Pearl Tower on the ground!

And further away, individual survivors could be seen fleeing for their lives towards the city's outskirts!

"Niu Niu."

"Brother." Niu Niu's eyes suddenly held a hint of reluctance.

"Niu Niu, your brother is leaving." Tang Ping stroked Niu Niu's head.

"Brother, will we meet again?" Niu Niu looked up.

Tang Ping smiled: "We will."

His body was slowly fading away.

【Ding! Player has completed hidden quest, Infected Butcher! Reward has been claimed!】

Suddenly! Tang Ping felt his body as if it were being gripped! He could barely move!

It was him! He hadn't left!

Tang Ping's eyes sharpened, and the black-red flame Red Lotus instantly rose within them!

That person was right in front.

Sheng Tianqi suddenly felt a burning sensation in his spirit, as if being roasted over a fire, and in a brief trance, he felt a sharp sword edge pierce towards him!

Duang!!!

The clang of metal echoed.

The long blade wreathed in flames struck a small jade mountain sculpture.

Tang Ping's attack failed, and he retreated abruptly, then shook his long sword! Three long flame serpents flew out!

Sheng Tianqi quickly recovered, his eyes filled with killing intent, the palm-sized jade mountain above his head vibrated, and the flame serpents immediately shattered; he raised his hand and grabbed at the opponent again!

Tang Ping swung his sword, one strike splitting the condensed airflow, and he swiftly retreated at over a hundred speed!

Such fast speed! Sheng Tianqi's pupils constricted, but he didn't give up in the slightest, stepping on immortal light, a vortex in his palm spinning madly!

Tang Ping rotated his wrist, the Tang Blade disappearing into the scabbard on his back, his palms slightly joined, and a black-red lotus slowly solidified!

As if a tacit understanding between experts, heaven and earth were silent, insects and birds trembled!

Sheng Tianqi pushed out the rapidly spinning vortex!

Tang Ping flung out the black-red flame lotus!

The rapidly compressed air collided with the terrifying flames! Boom!

In an instant, it was like a fuel tanker igniting, black-red inferno raging! Vehicles on the road were swallowed in the blink of an eye, and the landscape trees by the roadside instantly turned to ash.

Sheng Tianqi stood amidst the sky-filling flames, his jade mountain suspended high above his head, like an immortal.

Tang Ping stood firm in the storm, a halo suspended behind him, like a god.

"So strong." Tang Ping murmured, then stepped on the raging flames and broke through the wind.

"We will meet again." Sheng Tianqi squinted his eyes, cleaving through the crimson flames, and rode the wind.

The two, by tacit agreement, did not continue to fight.

Because it wasn't time yet.

"Director Sheng, why didn't you kill him now?"

"I can't kill him."

"What! Even you can't kill him? You know your jade mountain Shelter is..."

"Don't underestimate the world."

"Oh, I know, I just don't know who this person is, to be able to fight with you, Director Sheng."

"Jiang City has given birth to a dragon."

"A dragon?" The woman chuckled, seemingly with a hint of mockery: "What can a lone dragon do?"

..."He is Sheng Tianqi."

"Awesome."

"As expected of a future Titled Expert."

Tang Ping, with a long blade on his back, pulled down his baseball cap, dressed in a loose white tracksuit, moving through the broken city.

Strong winds swept up torn pages and waste paper, the magnificent office buildings were deserted, and the once bustling roads were left with only smoke and ash.

The surrounding Infected let out low growls, retreating in fear, seemingly terrified of the man with the baseball cap on the road.

【Ding! Sister Wang has sent you a trade request!】
