Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Purgatory Explosion (Two in One)
“Lord Avoid Dust, it will be your hard work coming up.”
Feng Yaohua, seeing the two contestants enter, turned his head and said to the unicorn black kitten beside him with a smile.
“Meow~”
The black kitten nodded its head, lightly leaping from the arms of the middle-aged man onto the fence, its tail tip a fuzzy little ball swinging back and forth!
“Meow!”
A clear meow rang out, the kitten’s pupils shone with a golden glow, and the figure of a magical beast appeared over its body, resembling a lion entangled with faint auspicious clouds.
The magical beast’s figure made a motion as if roaring to the sky, but eerily made no sound.
The light above the arena twisted slightly, and a semi-transparent barrier descended from above, enveloping the entire arena.
“Lord Avoid Dust is getting more proficient with the barrier; I wonder how high of a level attack it can now withstand,” Feng Yaohua stretched out his hand to receive the drowsy black kitten, softly caressing it with his palm.
The middle-aged man who had brought the kitten hurriedly replied, “Chief, according to last month’s latest tests, Lord Avoid Dust’s barrier can withstand a full-force attack from a sixth-level mutant creature and can absorb the spillover of energy and sound, reducing harm to the citizens.”
“Sixth-level, huh.” Feng Yaohua frowned slightly, hoping that the boy wouldn’t use that move.
In the chaotic stone field, the noise from the surrounding spectator seats suddenly vanished, plunging the entire arena into silence; even Qiuqiu’s breathing could be clearly heard.
Shao Zifeng looked up to see a semi-transparent energy dome covering the entire arena; one could see the audience cheering wildly, yet eerily not a sound could be heard.
Wang Xing noticed Shao Zifeng’s gaze and also looked up, quickly realizing what it was, his voice trembling with excitement, “It looks like our stage is set. Let’s get started, classmate Shao.”
Shao Zifeng nodded and turned to Qiuqiu, finding it still fixated on the other’s Bone Piercing King Snake, and with a mix of annoyance and amusement, said, “Are you ready?”
“Wu~” Qiuqiu confidently nodded its head, its gaze growing even hotter as it looked at the coiled Bone Piercing King Snake.
“Then prepare for battle,” Shao Zifeng patted Qiuqiu’s neck.
“Roar~~~~~~~~”
Qiuqiu raised its large head and let out a loud dragon roar, two streams of fire bursting from its golden-red vertical pupils, strands of fire element coalescing between its scales like ribbons, stirring without wind.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the final peak showdown is about to begin, let’s look forward to a splendid performance from both contestants…”
The commentator’s impassioned voice had not yet finished when Qiuqiu on the big screen suddenly acted, spitting out a spiraling column of dark red flame with an explosive force towards the Bone Piercing King Snake.
“What a tremendous force.” Yu Hong’s father watched the flames sweep across the arena with envious eyes, “Old Wei, you’re into fire, this flame feels different from the usual ones, doesn’t it?”
Old Wei, the former chief of the Abnormal Administration Bureau, had given various reasons to support Su City University, hence their relationship had grown closer.
Old Wei, dressed in uniform and not looking very stern, cheerfully said, “That’s a very pure control of Flame Palm. I haven’t seen this kind of fire from a mutant creature before. Looking at it now, the temperature seems slightly higher than normal flames. But beyond the explosive power, there’s also a sort of corrosive effect.”
In the arena, Qiuqiu turned its head, and the rotating dark red column of flame swept across the field.
The crisscrossing black stone pillars cracked quickly under the high temperature; big chunks of stone fell loudly, exploding into pieces.
Shortly after, the flame column dissipated with the overheated stones distorting the air above; the cracked ground scattered with broken stones, but the figure of the Bone Piercing King Snake had vanished.
Qiuqiu’s muzzle dripped with flames as it moved its sharp claws forward a few steps, each leaving a red-hot paw print on the ground.
Its golden-red eyes smoldered, scanning the entire field as it sought out the Bone Piercing King Snake’s trace.
Clang!
Just then, a black shadow flashed across Qiuqiu’s cheek.
After the clash of metal sounded, a cut appeared just below Qiuqiu’s eyelid, tainted with traces of black.
Shao Zifeng was startled at the sight, his eyes fixed anxiously on Qiuqiu’s injury.
Qiuqiu’s pupils shifted, black blood just beginning to seep out when it evaporated from the intense heat; soon, the black traces on the wound had vaporized completely.
Only then did Shao Zifeng breathe a sigh of relief; if the Bone Piercing King Snake’s venom didn’t affect Qiuqiu, then that snake was nearly two-thirds useless.
The high temperature still caused slight distortions in the air across the black field, where a slender black shadow darted between the columns. It moved so fast that by the time one spotted it, it had already vanished behind another pillar.
Qiuqiu’s gaze followed the shadow intently, and once it was in combat mode, it shed its coquettish nature, with surging fire elements throughout its body acting as the perfect explanation.
Clang!
Another metallic clash rang out, and Qiuqiu’s wound on its back burst open again, with black blood flowing out once more.
“Roar!”
Frantic, Qiuqiu suddenly turned around and swished its tail, the thick tail colliding with the shadow overhead, sending several pieces of its Scale Armor flying.
The diminished Bone Piercing King Snake was not faring any better, being flung away and forcefully crashing through several stone pillars before finally being buried under a pile of rubble.
The flames in Qiuqiu’s eyes burst wildly, not giving the Bone Piercing King Snake a chance to react as it expelled a highly compressed fireball from its mouth.
Boom!
The fireball, trailing a long tail, slammed into the pile of rubble and exploded, turning the whole mound to dust, kicking up a massive cloud of debris.
Once again, the Bone Piercing King Snake was sent flying, struggling up from the scalding ground, looking at its broken bone spikes with unusual fury; its bone spikes were still violently contracting, seemingly struggling to control its size.
The cold snake eyes swiveled as the Bone Piercing King Snake quickly relocked onto Qiuqiu, revealing deep hostility.
Whoosh!
The King Snake sprang and shot towards Qiuqiu like an arrow released from a bow.
Qiuqiu stood its ground, the vertical pupils in its eyes blazing with blinding firelight, fire elements swirling around it even without wind, exuding the oppressive aura of a high-bloodline.
“Roar!”
In the instant the shadow neared, a flash of golden light erupted from Qiuqiu, and a tangible draconic might burst forth suddenly, causing the Bone Piercing King Snake to freeze, perceiving the mutant creature before it as terrifyingly formidable—a feeling akin to encountering a natural predator during its vulnerable early years.
Thump!
The Bone Piercing King Snake was smashed into the ground by Qiuqiu’s sharp claws.
“A successful strike!!! Player Wang Xing’s Bone Piercing King Snake was hit into the ground without any resistance. Under such overpowering Physical Strength… does the King Snake still have a chance to turn the tables…”
“Burning Wings!!”
“Burning Wings!!”
A synchronized chant erupted from the spectator stands, and even within the barrier, Qiuqiu, unable to hear, was infected by the audience’s enthusiasm, turning back to Shao Zifeng with a look begging for praise.
“Be careful!” Shao Zifeng hadn’t anticipated Qiuqiu’s complacency; it seemed the previous fights had indeed made it a bit too arrogant.
“Hiss!”
Qiuqiu, startled by Shao Zifeng’s words, felt a sudden intense pain as it reflexively lifted its claw, and in that moment, the Bone Piercing King Snake had rapidly enlarged and entangled Qiuqiu’s body.
Upon entangling, the Bone Piercing King Snake’s body tightened swiftly.
Crrrack.
A faint sound of bone grinding echoed as sharp bone spikes drew sparks across Qiuqiu’s Scale Armor, the spikes piercing into its flesh through the armor’s gaps, releasing a vast amount of toxin!
“Roar!!”
Qiuqiu, ensnared by the Bone Piercing King Snake’s strangulation ability, let out a furious roar, struggling vigorously, with large amounts of black pus blood splattering the ground during the struggle, causing Shao Zifeng great distress!
Perhaps due to the toxin, even gathering fire elements had become arduous for Qiuqiu.
The King Snake’s eyes were cold and unforgiving as it steadily tightened its grip, making breathing a challenge for Qiuqiu, its golden-red vertical pupils bloodshot.
In a moment of desperation, Shao Zifeng shut his eyes and activated Empathy without a care for being amidst a crowd of thousands.
In the sensory field of vision, only the ghostly images of the King Snake, Wang Xing, and Qiuqiu were present.
Shao Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that the barrier also isolated the spectators’ emotions, but he didn’t have time to contemplate further, quickly linking with Qiuqiu’s ghostly image.
“Oww~”
“Eggeg~ Qiu Qiu hurts~”
Hearing Qiuqiu’s inner voice, Shao Zifeng felt immense heartache and took a deep breath, beginning to communicate with it!
Wang Xing watched this unfolding scene with a look of great interest on his face.
Although this dragon-like mutant creature was strong, its actual combat experience seemed a bit limited, and it even appeared somewhat childish, carelessly assuming its opponent had lost its fighting ability before being certain.
If it ended this easily, that would truly be disappointing.
Just then, Qiuqiu’s struggle suddenly intensified as it lifted a claw and slammed it onto the ground.
Boom!
The chaotic stone field began to tremble.
Centered around Qiuqiu, the black ground instantly collapsed, and countless cracks spread outward like a spider web.
Molten lava burst from the fissures, flowing along the cracks and converging toward the center!
The sudden eruption of high temperatures caused the Bone Piercing King Snake to pause its offensive, finding the intense heat uncomfortable, continuously flicking its black tongue.
“Roar!”
Qiuqiu’s scale armor opened up; it cracked in several places under the restriction of the spines, leaving behind fresh blood.
“Hiss!”
Lava from all directions crawled up Qiuqiu’s scale armor through the gaps, sizzling upon contact with the King Snake’s bony spines.
As more lava accumulated, the King Snake’s body convulsed violently, with copious amounts of smoke billowing from it.
Just as the King Snake was about to withdraw, it was firmly seized by a sharp claw.
Qiuqiu’s pupils rotated, glancing at the King Snake.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a pair of dragon wings made of volcanic rock unfurled, the explosive heat sending waves of scorching air across the arena, blowing the lava in the cracks outward.
This was not the end; the lava that once flowed through the gaps in the scale armor slowly covered the entire body, cooling to form a charred crystalline structure. Sharper crystalline dragon horns formed on the head, and the golden-red pupils burned intensely, like that of a massive dragon clad in armor.
The King Snake’s body was restrained by the cooled volcanic rock, its continuous hissing noises proving futile.
Boom!

The next moment, Qiuqiu flapped its dragon wings and began to rise slowly, the lava on the ground churning violently.
Lava splattered, hissing as it hit the ground.
Dark red flames suddenly rose up, setting the web-like cracked ground ablaze.
Suspended in mid-air, Qiuqiu looked down at the King Snake affixed to its body with fiery eyes, the flames within its golden-red pupils burning even more fiercely.
Qiuqiu’s eyes, now like those of a lava dragon, blazed with increasingly intense flames, and soon flames emerged from every gap in the rocky scale armor. Following that, four balls of flame gathered in front of it.
“What is that?”
From the third-floor VIP stand, Old Yu watched the trembling fireballs in front of Qiuqiu, his eyebrows slightly furrowing as he sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations within them.
Feng Yaohua’s gaze was fixed on the big screen, primarily on the two young men, and for the first time, the thought that he was getting old surfaced in his heart.
With the appearance of Qiuqiu in this black stone armor, a wave of excitement surged through the venue once again.
Especially for the members of the Burning Wings fan club, their throats were nearly hoarse from shouting.
For them, this was like a carnival, a festivity with climax after climax!
The flames in Qiuqiu’s eyes burned brighter, and the four basketball-sized fireballs in front of it trembled violently, as if struggling to break free.
“Roar!”
With a roar, Qiuqiu sent the four fireballs flying in four different directions.
The seemingly terrifying fireballs hit the ground without making a sound and swiftly sank into the soil.
The Bone Piercing King Snake wrapped around Qiuqiu was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at the ground.
Could it be a failed skill release?
Was there a chance to turn the tables?
The Bone Piercing King Snake couldn’t care less, as Qiuqiu was now fixed onto its body, and the longer the struggle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for the snake.
“Hiss!”
Just as it was about to exert force, the body of the Bone Piercing King Snake suddenly stiffened.
It felt an overwhelming energy brewing beneath the earth, an energy so terrifying that it struck fear into the very core of the snake.
BOOM!
The entire chaotic stone field suddenly shook violently, one remaining stone pillar after another collapsing, breaking into pieces upon impact and kicking up clouds of dust.
Amidst the thunderous roaring, the pitch-black ground rolled like waves, with rocks being upturned and flung into the air by columns of magma surging from below, encased in blistering lava, as if a meteor shower was raining down upon the arena.
One after another, columns of magma burst forth from the ground, as horrific waves of energy converged in the middle.
“Purgatory Explosion! It’s Purgatory Explosion!” the commentator’s passionate shout resounded through the venue: “One of the great fire techniques, Purgatory Explosion is typically seen only a few times on the world stage at international competitions. I never expected to witness it today at our Yundu Region’s qualifier…”
The commentator was somewhat incoherent in his commentary, but the audience didn’t care what skill it actually was, as long as it sounded impressively powerful.
At that moment, the King Snake suddenly had a bad premonition; it looked up to find Qiuqiu gazing at it with blazing eyes, a sinister smile playing on its lips.
The Bone Piercing King Snake was startled—both being mutant creatures, why did you have such a malevolent smile?
No, why are you smiling at all!!
But what followed was a look of terror flashing in its eyes as it began to desperately struggle.
Cracks appeared in the volcanic Scale Armor, with fresh blood oozing out.
Qiuqiu folded its wings, diving head first toward the center area of several magma pillars.
“Hiss!”
BOOM!!!!
A flash of crimson light instantly filled the barrier, and ripples appeared on the semi-transparent surface. With the energy being continuously absorbed, cracks started to form on the upper half.
“Meow!”
The little black cat woke with a start from its sleep, leapt onto the railing, its eyes gleaming faintly and the phantom image of a mystical beast appearing once again around its body, working hard to repair the barrier.
The bursting wave of energy continued to batter against the ceiling of the barrier, with cracks appearing and then being repaired by the little black cat.
The phantom around Avoid Dust’s body grew fainter and fainter, until it could no longer hold up the barrier’s repairs and collapsed on the ground, cradled in a middle-aged man’s arms.
Crack~
The sound of breaking glass echoed through the venue as the entire barrier shattered, dissolving into tiny sparkling lights.
A wave of heat instantly swept across the entire venue, resulting in a scene of chaos in the spectator seats.
Fortunately, it was just the aftermath of the energy that had not caused any harm.
As the aftershocks dissipated, Feng Yaohua and others stood up to look at the dusty arena.
With the gusty wind constantly pouring in from above, the dust gradually thinned, revealing an unusually quiet venue, and a massive pit appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Besides a flaming fire egg at the bottom of the pit, there was no other figure to be seen.
“The captain couldn’t have been blown to death, right?” Hu Shiwu blurted out without a filter.
“Shut up!” Li Yiming’s face showed annoyance, and Casar also glared at him fiercely.
Hu Shiwu shrank his neck and dared not say another word, then began to pray for Shao Zifeng in his mishmash way.
Plop~
Just then, the sound of falling stones clearly reached everyone’s ears.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the flame egg was seen slowly unfolding.
Qiuqiu stood there covered in wounds, with Shao Zifeng supporting Wang Xing, who was unconscious, appearing in everyone’s sight!
