“Who are you?” The Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon looked at Shen Hanbing with interest as there weren’t many humans capable of repelling it.
“Your killer!” Shen Hanbing coldly snorted and swung her sword down vertically.
Burning Inferno Slash!
A ten-meter-high blaze of sword energy with unstoppable force, cleaved toward the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon.
Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, the air evaporated, and everything was incinerated.
Boom!
The sword energy struck the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon and instantly exploded, forming a seething fireball. Flames surged, and the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon was engulfed.
The ground where the sword energy had passed was evenly split, forming a trench about a foot wide and two meters deep, extending from where Shen Hanbing stood to the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon’s feet.
“The… The ground has cracked open! What terrifying power!”
“Such a frightening power from just a sword’s energy! Is this the strength of an Earth-ranked expert?”
“Even if it doesn’t kill, being hit by such an attack would cause severe injuries, right?”
The onlookers watched the fireball with hopeful expressions, expecting to see the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon severely wounded.
However, when the rolling flames dissipated, the expected scene didn’t occur.
The Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon’s body remained completely intact except for all its fur being burned off, and there were no visible injuries.
The part hit by the sword energy only had a few black marks, but its skin remained unbroken.
Seeing this, the people who had been hopeful fell into silence.
Everyone looked despondent, wearing expressions of disbelief.
If Shen Hanbing’s attacks couldn’t harm this monster, then who here could?
“My skin is as tough as metal, didn’t I tell you?” The Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon sneered triumphantly, and even too lazy to move, allowing Shen Hanbing to continue her attacks.
After dodging the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon’s attacks several times while avoiding its retaliation, Shen Hanbing finally gave up on attacking. She distanced herself from the creature and landed on the edge of the square.
“It seems I can only use that move!” Shen Hanbing’s eyes turned fiery red, and her entire body was enveloped in roiling flames.
These flames rose into the air, gathering above her head, forming a rotating fire cloud. The air around the fire cloud evaporated, and the temperature skyrocketed.
The temperature on the scene soared dramatically, and even people far away could feel the scorching heat.
“What… What a terrifying high temperature! Is this the legendary… Ice and Fire Divine Art, which controls both ice and fire?”
“It’s said that Shen Hanbing obtained this Profound-level technique through life-threatening experiences in a secret realm! Legend has it that once she masters it, she can easily destroy a city!”
The people on the scene exclaimed, their eyes filled with longing.
Techniques were divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, each with upper, middle, and lower grades.
The Ice and Fire Divine Art was a Profound-level upper-grade technique.
Such a grade of technique was considered top-tier even within the entire Southern Xia Kingdom!
In just a few breaths of time, the spiraling fire cloud above Shen Hanbing’s head had expanded enough to cover the entire square, resembling a vast sea of fire hanging in the air!
“This move has too wide of an area of effect. We’re not safe staying here anymore; we have to withdraw to a more distant area!”
“If we’re caught in the aftermath of this move, we’ll definitely be incinerated!”
Although the onlookers hadn’t seen Shen Hanbing use the Ice and Fire Divine Art before, they were well aware of its terror.
They had heard about Shen Hanbing’s glorious feats three years ago.
At that time, during the outbreak of a beast tide, seventeen-year-old Shen Hanbing had single-handedly exterminated hundreds of monsters with just one move, becoming the most legendary myth in all of Central Province!
She achieved this with the Ice and Fire Divine Art.
Back then, Shen Hanbing had only just mastered this technique at the basic level.
At this moment, all human warriors present retreated to a distance of a kilometer.
Not only human warriors, even the lesser demons and mid-level demons were frightened and kept their distance.
Only Jiang Yuan remained calm and composed, standing still without any intention of fleeing.
When the fire elemental energy had reached its limit, Shen Hanbing raised one hand and swung it downward.
Heavenly Fire Engulfs the City!
With her motion, the vast sea of flames hovering in the sky began to spiral downward, forming a thirty-meter-wide flaming tornado. It resembled the open jaws of a giant beast and instantly devoured the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon.
After the fiery storm descended to the ground, it crushed everything in its path.
Then, the fiery storm spread out along the ground, expanding across the entire square in the blink of an eye. Even the buildings around the square were engulfed in the sea of flames.
“What… What a terrifying technique! She used this move to eliminate hundreds of demons, didn’t she?”
“Being hit head-on by such a terrifying move, the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon must be finished!”
“Yes, even if the Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon’s body is strong, it definitely can’t withstand an attack of this magnitude!”
The people who had fled thousands of meters away were now staring at the sea of flames in shock, their faces drenched in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, Shen Hanbing, who had just unleashed the attack, stood in the sea of flames while feeling satisfied as she admired her handiwork.
“Oh no!” Her expression suddenly froze as she was enjoying her victory.
She realized that there was still someone who hadn’t escaped!
She hurriedly turned and looked behind her, where she saw a completely naked man.
Despite being in the midst of the sea of flames, he didn’t show any signs of pain. Even though the flames had incinerated his clothing, they couldn’t harm a single hair on him.
“You…” Shen Hanbing with a face full of disbelief looked at Jiang Yuan who was unharmed.
She knew better than anyone the terrifying power of the Heavenly Fire Engulfs the City technique. Not only would it reduce a person to ashes, but even a pile of steel would melt under its heat.
If it weren’t for her mastery of fire elemental energy and her personal immunity to it, she would have been turned to ashes herself.
The fact that the man in front of her remained unscathed in the sea of flames shattered her understanding of reality.
