"What do you mean?" Ji Gaochuan asked as usual, without showing the urgency in his heart.

He felt like he had touched something.

Vulcan stood up and said:

"We should get on with our work..."

stop.

The black shadow collided with him, and an unclear face remained in Ji Gaochuan's retina for just half a second before dissipating without a trace. "Ren Yan" who had not yet finished standing upright was already frozen in place.

Most of the upper body was gone, as if it had been erased with an eraser.

Snapped.

A hand came out of the soil and clasped Ren Yan's ankle tightly, then immediately let go and sank into the ground.

At the same time, the Sons of Flame in other locations also realized something, and anger surged onto their faces at the same time, but at the moment they took steps towards the location of "Ren Yan".

Boom!

The ground beneath their feet collapsed as if it had lost its support. The surrounding soil seemed to be alive and rushed towards the Sons of Flame, dragging them towards the ground. Dazzling firelight burst out, but it still failed to stop them.

Falling fate.

"He's still alive." Shi Daochang's surprised voice sounded in the minds of Ma En and Yu Cheng at the same time, "I'm invading, no! That's fire..."

Stopped abruptly.

boom!

The roaring flames tore apart the soil Ren Yan was stepping on. The rising flames surrounded his body, and then quickly poured into his body. The bright red light flickered through the skin, and the flames came out.

All remaining flesh and blood were burned to ashes.

A humanoid individual made of flames stood on the ground, looking directly at Ma En who was standing not far away, ready to enter the shadow dimension at any time.

"Poison?" The flames on his body continued to sway as he spoke, "What kind of poison can withstand the test of flames? And what kind of mortals are qualified to challenge the majesty of gods?"

When Yu Cheng met him just now, Vulcan buried fire into the opponent's body at the same time. He originally planned to do the same thing to Ma En who crashed into him, but they didn't really meet each other just now.

"Vulcan?" Ma En stood there, trying to delay as much time as possible.

Disintegration is of no use to this individual whose whole body is made of flames. He has just used the Shadow Blade to destroy a small part of his opponent's body. Memory erasure is also difficult to affect the mind of this high-level entity.

He also couldn't cut off the head of the person he was dealing with like he was dealing with the God of Hunters.

Marne's powerful skills basically have no effect on opponents composed of fire elements.

However, in fact, he is not afraid of any attack methods from his opponents.

"Ahem, I'm Shi Daochang." A strange male voice sounded in Ma En's mind, "He burned my original body...

"Xiao Cheng is dead. We have taken advantage of the sneak attack to kill three Sons of Flame. Now we have the upper hand. How long can you hold him off? If you are not sure, we can only retreat temporarily.

"There is a problem with the intelligence."

Shi Daochang had no expectations for Ma En's answer. He was lucky to be able to delay for three minutes, and this time was not far enough for them to kill the remaining Sons of Flame.

And even if Ma En could delay it long enough, they would only have the possibility of completing the ritual.

After Ma En was defeated, they all had to die here except the Moon Son. He himself was ready to sacrifice, but Ma En could not die with them.

"I don't have any confidence..."

Shi Daochang's heart sank:

"I see……"

"...Kill him." Ma En said calmly, "But holding him back shouldn't be a problem."

"What did you say?" he asked, somewhat confused.

"Finish the ceremony." Ma En replied briefly, "I am level IV."

A moment of silence.

"Okay!" Shi Daochang's hope rekindled in his heart.

Ma En was raising his right hand at this moment, and the soil around the Vulcan was rising due to the power of his mind. In an instant, it formed a sphere with the opponent as the center, and collapsed inwards at high speed.

But the moment the soil was formed, the flames had turned into fire snakes and snaked out, and then transformed into human shapes in front of the earth ball.

Vulcan said leisurely

"Do you really think you can compete with me?

"I am a god. In the past, you could withstand five fires if you saw me without kneeling down. But now, mortals have forgotten reverence and worship, and even dare to go to the land and steal what belongs to me."

Ma En stood there and asked:

"Is that the castle you're talking about?"

Vulcan and Ma En looked at each other and said:

"Not only the castle, you also destroyed the magic circle I built with my own hands and released the souls that belonged to me. But the interesting thing is that you don't seem to have mastered magic at all. How did you do it?"

Ma En is buying time for the Salvation Alliance, but Vulcan doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Do you think I will tell you?" Ma En closed his right hand slightly, created two spheres of telepathy, one large and one small, around the God of Fire, and quietly sucked out the air from the two spheres.

Vulcan smiled and said:

"You don't want to tell me?

"It's okay, I can tell you why you fell into this situation. In fact, it's not entirely your fault. You are just a stupid mortal who fell into Shana's scheme.

"You are just a tool she uses to move the castle. Did she tell you this was a trap for me?

"No, this is our trap for you. Although I don't know what she is asking for yet, you may think that we are in the opposite camp.

"But we are true allies and we always have been."

Marne disarmed the smaller telekinetic sphere.

The flames on Vulcan's body dimmed a little for a moment, and his movements became a little stiff, but he returned to his original appearance almost in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

"You take away the air around me?" Vulcan praised, "If I were a mortal who needed to breathe, or if the flames on my body were the most common kind you see, then this might indeed work.

"But I said, I am God, and you are just an insect in front of me."

pause.

Still no anger.

It seemed that there was no way he could make this mortal simply spontaneously combust.

Vulcan waved his hand, and more than a dozen fire snakes poured out of his arms, swimming flexibly in the air. After hitting the telepathy sphere, they began to flow toward the same point on the inner surface of the sphere, and finally turned into a line of flames.

The giant python formed broke free from its restraints and rushed towards Ma En's position.

But it hit dirt and rocks.

Ma En appeared behind Vulcan:

"It seems that as a god you can't do anything to me, an insect, and you can only be trapped under my shackles and watch your people being slaughtered by me."

Vulcan turned around calmly:

"You are a little tougher than I thought, but you are just a fat worm.

"What you are facing is just my incarnation. I have several bodies stronger than this. If you encounter them, you won't even have the speed to react, and those are just my mortal incarnations.

"If I come to you in person, you won't even have a chance to kneel down and beg for mercy."

Ma En narrowed his eyes, thinking about the other party's words.

Vulcan seems to have been emphasizing how strong he is, and does not care about the life or death of the sons of flames, as if he is letting himself delay.

"Shi Daochang, have you encountered no problems?" Ma En asked in his mind.

"No." The other party replied hastily.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

The rain fell to the ground.

Vulcan smiled and said:

"I'm not worried about whether the Moon God's ritual can be completed at all. In fact, whether she succeeds or not is a good thing for us as a whole. Even if we are enemies in your eyes now, we will indeed fight and kill each other.

Their respective believers even try their best to 'kill' each other.

"But deep down in our hearts, we are still united. This depends on the most essential difference between us and you.

"God is immortal."

At some point, the sky that was clear just now was filled with dark clouds. The smell of boiling water vapor gradually filled the air, and the underground spring water flowing in the soil was also gathering towards the area where they were standing.

Whoosh!

The heavy rain poured down into the mountainous area, and the underground spring water abnormally gushed out of the soil and began to accumulate water on the ground at an alarming rate. In just a short moment, the rainwater covered Ma En's ankles. The strong wind also roared, and raindrops were scattered in disorder.

Slap it on the face of Ma En and Vulcan.
