285: Everyone was shocked by the terrifying flames

“This is the flaming great bird that the Orc encountered? It actually possesses such terrifying aura?”

Hanamaki Kujirako stared intently at the Vermilion Bird in the sky, asking in confusion, drenched in sweat, his steps already retreating repeatedly.

Facing the Vermilion Bird, Hanamaki Kujirako felt a strong surge of fear in his heart. He knew that the Vermilion Bird's fireball attack was incredibly powerful, and any resistance would be futile. He felt his heart race, his hands and feet tremble, unable to control the fear within him. He understood that in front of this powerful force, he seemed so small and helpless.

“Such high temperature, this… this is…?”

Takiya Genji looked up, his heart already filled with extreme fear.

“Is this the Vermi… Vermilion Bird? Damn, what a terrifying aura. Brothers, retreat quickly.”

Kawanishi Jin’s brows were already furrowed into a ‘ river’ shape, his face panicked, the surrounding temperature had risen rapidly, and he quickly turned his head and shouted.

“Yang… Qian… hun, he’s the one who used this monster to kill millions of Orcs.”

Iki Shun spoke as if using all his strength, his eyes revealing a deep look of fear.

But a sense of dread had already involuntarily risen in their hearts; the pressure brought by the Vermilion Bird in the sky almost suffocated everyone present.

“Run quickly, damn it, how did this Vermilion Bird appear so fast?”

Makise Takashi quickly shouted a reminder.

But time was already running out; when they saw the Vermilion Bird appear, it was already too late.

The enormous Vermilion Bird descended from the sky, its feathers blood-red, its eyes gleaming with a faint blue light. Its appearance made everything around it silent, as if even time had frozen.

A suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air, as if every breath of the Vermilion Bird carried immense power. With a gentle flap of its wings, it stirred up a gust of wind, blowing the surrounding trees askew.

Everything around became unusually eerie, as if they were in a terrifying nightmare. The Vermilion Bird’s gaze was cold and profound, making it impossible for anyone to meet its eyes. It was a gaze from the abyss, filled with endless fear and despair.

The scene of the Vermilion Bird’s appearance was bone-chilling, an unspeakable horror. Every detail was filled with suppression and despair, making it impossible to escape. That horror was deeply etched into everyone’s hearts, becoming their eternal nightmare.

Immediately after, streams of terrifying aura, mixed with ancient primordial power, seemingly containing the mystery of the deep universe and the profoundness of the supreme Dao, spread out from the Vermilion Bird in an indescribable form.

Waves of spiritual energy rippled like water.

The entire sky was dyed blood-red by the Vermilion Bird’s fiery light, and a suppressive aura descended from the sky like an invisible giant hand.

It pressed down overwhelmingly towards Hanamaki Kujirako’s side.

“Burn to ashes.”

As soon as he finished speaking—

Whoosh...

The Vermilion Bird in the sky suddenly flapped its enormous wings, and an incredibly terrifying aura instantly locked onto Hanamaki Kujirako’s side.

In an instant, strong winds howled in the sky, flames filled the air, and the color of the blood-red sky became increasingly dense, increasingly dark.

The Vermilion Bird flapped its massive wings, each beat bringing strong winds and intense heat. Flames shot out from between its feathers, forming fireballs that, with the Vermilion Bird’s wing movements, rained down on the ground like a shower.

The next second, countless fireballs condensed in the sky, one… ten… a thousand… ten thousand… a hundred thousand.

Dense… boundless… countless.

Fireballs, like meteors, fell towards Hanamaki Kujirako’s side.

Which was the position where Hanamaki Kujirako had set up an ambush.

“Disperse! Quickly, run faster!”

Facing the thousands upon thousands of dense fireballs in the sky, Hanamaki Kujirako was drenched in sweat, looking up and roaring.

Although they had sensed it first, the Vermilion Bird’s attack speed far exceeded their imagination.

Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird only attacked them, or rather, fortunately, their 800,000-strong army had already split into four groups, ambushing at various locations.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been wiped out by Yang Qianhun’s Vermilion Bird in one go. If the 800,000-strong army had been squeezed together, they would probably have been completely annihilated.

But over 200,000 people were already in chaos; due to the large numbers, it was impossible to disperse all at once.

Under the Vermilion Bird’s fireball attack, everyone fell into fear and chaos. The moment the fireballs fell, the air was filled with people’s screams and wails. They ran in all directions, trying to find a safe place, but the flames mercilessly devoured everything.

Flames spread around the people, burning their clothes and hair, causing them endless pain. The air was filled with the smell of burning and people’s desperate shouts, instilling fear in everyone’s hearts.

In the chaos, people pushed and trampled each other, only to survive. They ran for their lives, desperate, but found nowhere to escape. Under the fireball attack, everything was destroyed, leaving only endless ruins and ashes.

In this chaos, people’s hearts were filled with fear and despair. They lost hope, only wishing to survive this disaster.

“Run quickly, don’t block me… Run quickly!”

“Run quickly, damn it, the temperature is getting higher and higher, those in front, run faster!”

“Run quickly, those flames are already coming down, quickly block them!”

“Don’t panic, everyone, don’t panic!”

“Run quickly, if we don’t run, when that monster’s flames fall, all of us will die.”

“That flaming monster has slaughtered many Orcs and Half-elves; we can’t stop it at all, it’s just a terrifying killing weapon.”

“This Yang Qianhun is dishonorable; he actually knew we were ambushing here and wants to annihilate all of us.”

“This Yang Qianhun is simply a murderer; he doesn’t even negotiate, he just unleashes his ultimate move right away.”

“He just wants to put all of us to death; why aren’t the other three groups of people acting yet?”

“Quickly disperse, let’s just survive first.”

…

The more than 200,000 people led by Hanamaki Kujirako were now in a panic, without order, huddled together.

Facing Yang Qianhun’s sudden attack, they fled for their lives, their faces panicked, already terrified to the extreme.

But it was clear that time was already too late; Yang Qianhun completed the series of operations to summon the Vermilion Bird’s phantom in just an instant.

The speed at which the dense fireballs descended far exceeded everyone’s imagination, as fast as lightning, fleeting.

They had already descended above them with lightning speed, and the terrifying high temperature had turned the surroundings into a furnace, as if it wanted to evaporate everyone.
