In the night sky, the clouds turned purple.
Flames could be seen faintly burning within them.
A giant bird with purple wings flapped its wings and soared over the city.
The swirling aura of flames grew thicker and thicker, and rolling heatwaves swept across.
Suddenly, a rain of fire fell from the sky!
Purple streams of fire fell indiscriminately into the city built of reinforced concrete.
A skyscraper was hit and, in an instant, turned into a sea of purple fire!
The flames began to spread from the ground.
Those piled-up cars became the best fuel.
Explosions rang out! The flames suddenly intensified, and the ferocious tongues of fire swallowed everything...
"Grandpa, I'm scared!"
The little boy trembled with fear, crying in the old man's arms.
"Don't be afraid, child. The people from the Pantheon will protect us."
The old man's eyes showed panic, but he stroked the boy's head and comforted him.
In the shelter, there were white-collar workers in uniforms who had been working overtime just before, waiters from hot pot restaurants, old people walking dogs on leashes, and mothers holding babies...
All kinds of people from different social classes were gathered here.
The dense crowd made this huge shelter seem particularly crowded and small.
At this moment, no one made a noise.
Pairs of eyes looked at the people from the Pantheon standing in front, these guardian gods of Great Xia.
Mao Rabbit's eyes were solemn, and she shouted: "Listen to my command, Pantheon! Stop it at all costs!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The missiles fired from the rocket launchers hit Nie Xuan above, but it was like a stone dropping into the sea, having no effect at all.
Guns and bullets seemed so insignificant in the face of absolute power.
"That big bird is coming this way!"
Zi Shu tossed the special grenade in his hand, his eyes turned cold, and he threw it fiercely.
The grenade exploded, turning into dazzling fireworks in the sky, and was then swallowed by the purple flames.
It was useless. The giant purple bird was flying towards them continuously and couldn't be stopped.
"A level-seven demonic beast, truly terrifying..."
Chou Niu held a large shield, on guard.
Behind them was the shelter, hiding thousands of ordinary people of the imperial capital.
As members of the Pantheon, it was their duty to guard them.
"Old Geng, I might have to sacrifice myself next. Be prepared."
Zi Shu said leisurely, carrying two iron fork weapons.
His expression was calm, showing no fear of facing death.
"I've lived for nine hundred years, which is enough. If it weren't for Commander Long, how could I have survived until now?"
Chou Niu chuckled and took off his mask, revealing a face completely disfigured by burn scars.
Gazing at the monstrous fire, Chou Niu looked a little dazed.
He remembered that year, it was also a big fire...
Mao Rabbit gritted her teeth and said: "Don't say depressing words. We must hold on until Commander Long arrives!"
While speaking, she took out the bow and arrow in her hand, aimed at Nie Xuan in the sky, and shot.
Whoosh!
The crossbow arrow carrying spiritual energy, wrapped in wind spiritual energy, shuttled over and shot straight into the sky.
The sound of a bird's cry rang out.
This arrow actually broke through the layers of flame waves and hit the purple wing!
Mao Rabbit drew her bow and notched an arrow.
Whoosh!
This time, the arrow aimed at the eyes of the giant purple bird.
However, Nie Xuan, who had a premonition, waved a stream of fire and shot it at Mao Rabbit.
The arrow was covered by purple flames and instantly turned into nothingness.
The power of the flame remained undiminished and continued to fly over!
"Dodge!"
Chou Niu shouted and swung his shield to block horizontally.
The flame hit the large shield and was accurately bounced back.
The wings of the giant purple bird flapped.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of stray fire bullets shot towards the shelter.
Screams and cries of alarm rang out.
Those ordinary people could only watch helplessly as the flowing flames shot towards them without being able to escape.
Despair and fear lingered in their hearts.
At this moment, looking at the flowing fire in the sky, they seemed to have seen hell.
"Hah!"
Ox gave a loud shout and planted his shield on the ground.
Suddenly, the ground rose and quicksand gathered to form a barrier.
The purple flames hit the quicksand and were actually blocked and extinguished.
The people in the shelter exclaimed.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Chou Niu's mouth.
With the sky full of flowing fire, he could only block the area of the shelter.
Other areas instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The martial artists of the Pantheon held their guns and swept them at the approaching giant purple bird.
"Bai Ying, I'll leave the rest to you."
Zi Shu said slowly and came to the front.
He was not tall, but at this moment he looked extremely solid.
Mao Rabbit's expression was moved. She gritted her teeth, tried hard not to let her tears fall, and nodded heavily.
She drew her bow and notched an arrow!
Mao Rabbit aimed at Nie Xuan's eye again.
At this moment, Zi Shu's body transformed into black dark spiritual energy, which actually attached to the arrow.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot quickly into the sky.
Nie Xuan obviously also noticed this arrow that could injure him, and a stream of fire shot over.
Just at the moment when it was about to hit the arrow, a black light emerged and actually knocked the stream of fire away.
Noticing this scene, Nie Xuan was a little shocked and waved his giant claws to block the arrow.
In an instant!
The black shadow on the arrow soared up.
A thin and small body, holding double forks, wrapped in crazy dark spiritual energy, stabbed at Nie Xuan's eye!
A shrill bird's cry rang out!
Everyone became nervous and didn't dare to breathe.
Mao Rabbit gazed at the sky, her pupils suddenly shrinking.
The bow and arrow tightly held in her hand fell to the ground, and tears slipped from her eyes.
Above the sky.
A thin and small figure wrapped in purple flames fell down.
"Damn it!"
Nie Xuan's murderous intent boiled.
One of his bird eyes was actually stabbed and injured. Blood dripped down and was evaporated by the flames in an instant.
Streams of fire fell from the sky and swept towards the shelter.
Nie Xuan's attacks became more and more ferocious!
"Leave it to me!"
Chou Niu swung his large shield and roared.
A curved surface composed of sand and stones was instantly formed.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Streams of flame swept across the shield surface.
Every heavy blow made the muscles in Chou Niu's arms tremble.
Blood continuously overflowed from his mouth and nose.
But Chou Niu still gritted his teeth, carrying the large shield forcibly, and didn't let go! His entire shoulder couldn't bear it and made a tooth-aching sound of bone cracking, beginning to deform.
Finally, the sky full of flames disappeared, and the flowing flames shooting towards the shelter were all blocked.
Crack!
The large shield shattered.
Chou Niu's body also fell to the ground with a thud.
"Brother Geng!"
Mao Rabbit's tears flowed, and her voice was shrill.
At this moment, Nie Xuan's figure had also arrived above the shelter!
The ferocious wings covered the sky and the sun.
"All of you, go to hell!"
Boiling flames lingered around Nie Xuan's body.
His wings flapped, forming a purple flame tornado, which spiraled and swept towards the shelter.
Everyone's hope also seemed to be swallowed by this raging fire!
Mao Rabbit unwillingly drew her bow and arrow, but in the monstrous raging fire, it seemed so insignificant.
Suddenly.
Vast light spiritual energy struck from afar.
White light emerged and shattered the flame tornado!
Everyone was shocked and looked at the sky.
In the night.
A dragon shadow with scales flashing golden light rode the clouds and mist, speeding over with a rainbow-like momentum!
The surging white light instantly washed away the sky full of purple fire clouds.
In an instant, everyone was stunned and stared blankly at the sky.
The martial artists of the Pantheon looked excited, with tears in their eyes.
"Grandpa, what, what is that?"
The little boy stared up at the sky in shock and murmured a question.
The old man clenched his fists. Tears streamed down his wrinkled face as he shouted, "That is a dragon! The sacred totem beast of our Great Xia!"
