Li Jia cursed as he walked, "That guy Juling Shen is really bad, he actually passed the buck."
Bai Ye asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Jia explained, "This area is under the jurisdiction of Huode Xingjun."
Bai Ye replied, "Isn't it Juling Shen?"
Li Jia elaborated, "Juling Shen manages the immortal soldiers, essentially the city guards. Besides Juling Shen, everyone else is a temporary worker. Huode Xingjun's subordinates are all permanent staff, and this area is his jurisdiction."
"That scoundrel Juling Shen can't afford to offend the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, so he sold our location and let Huode Xingjun take charge."
Bai Ye asked, "Can Huode Xingjun afford to offend the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"
"He can't either," Li Jia said. "But temporary workers only get five hundred yuan a month, why risk their lives? It's different for permanent staff. They don't want to lose their jobs, so they have to manage it even if they have to grit their teeth."
As they were talking, a wall ahead suddenly exploded, and a large wave of flames gushed out, blowing a section of the wall apart.
"This way!"
Li Jia shouted, kicked open a door, and ran in quickly.
A fairy, who had just finished bathing and was wearing a strapless top, screamed and covered her chest as she saw two big men rush in.
Bai Ye said, "Beauty, next time remember to cover your face. Covering your chest is useless."
At this moment, a man walked out of the bedroom and asked, "Darling, what's wrong?"
Li Jia went straight up and punched him, knocking him to the ground.
"Oh my, you dare to hit a local deity? Are you trying to die?"
Li Jia retorted, "Why are you, a local deity, in a hotel? Don't tell me the one screaming is the local deity's wife."
"Stop the nonsense," Bai Ye jumped onto the window and said, "Let's go!"
Bai Ye leaped out of the window, then pressed his palm against the ground to steady himself. Li Jia quickly followed Bai Ye.
As the two of them steadied themselves and looked up, they saw that the area ahead was densely packed with firemen.
This was clearly the work of Huode Xingjun.
On the other side, Huode Xingjun stood on the rooftop and looked down, saying, "Run, you two, keep running!"
Li Jia grabbed Bai Ye and said, "Run to the right."
Bai Ye followed Li Jia, with the burning firemen in hot pursuit. Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered something.
Bai Ye asked, "Do we have to run?"
"What else? Do you want to fight?" Li Jia asked. "You couldn't even defeat Juling Shen, do you think you can defeat Huode Xingjun? Besides, has your injury healed?"
Bai Ye replied, "I think it might not be the case."
As Bai Ye spoke, he suddenly stopped.
The next moment, the firemen, seeing Bai Ye stop abruptly, immediately lunged at him, piling onto him like a game of Jenga.
But…
Body of Blazing Fire (In an environment without the high temperatures produced by the Undying Phoenix ability, all physical attributes except intelligence are increased by 50 points and an additional 25%, possessing high-speed regeneration and self-healing capabilities, and ignoring all flame damage and burning damage.)
Bai Ye was enveloped by the firemen. Not only did he not suffer any damage, but he felt a warmth, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Due to the Undying Phoenix ability, Bai Ye not only feared no flames but also possessed super-regenerative self-healing capabilities under the enhancement of his Body of Blazing Fire.
Even the injuries he sustained from his previous confrontation with Juling Shen were instantly healed, and then…
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded from beneath the firemen!
A scorching pillar of fire shot into the sky, piercing through the firemen and blasting them to smithereens.
Bai Ye slowly stood up from the ground, his body engulfed in flames. He stretched his muscles and grinned, realizing he had recovered.
At the same time…
A heavenly fire descended from the sky. Huode Xingjun landed and, as he looked forward, he directly swept his leg.
The surrounding air became even hotter, and a fire blade was condensed, heading straight for Bai Ye.
Bai Ye remained unfazed, watching the fire blade approach, and directly met it.
Bang!
The fire blade struck Bai Ye, then shattered and dissipated, and was absorbed by Bai Ye's Body of Blazing Fire.
Huode Xingjun narrowed his eyes and said, "Phoenix Flame?"
"Indeed!"
Bai Ye said, raising his fist and punching forward. A torrent of flames surged towards Huode Xingjun.
Huode Xingjun also showed no fear, waved his hand, and shattered the incoming flames.
But at this moment…
Crackle!
The sound of surging electricity suddenly appeared, followed by a thunderclap that broke through the air and struck Huode Xingjun from the sky.
The lightning was very fast. Huode Xingjun looked up, and the thunder was already upon him, so he could only meet it head-on.
With a bang!
The thunder exploded after hitting Huode Xingjun.
The power of the thunderous explosion sent Huode Xingjun staggering back several steps, and wisps of black smoke appeared on his body.
This was what Bai Ye had suddenly realized: he didn't seem to need to fear Huode Xingjun at all.
He was a deity, true, but he wasn't afraid of fire. His Body of Blazing Fire could ignore all flame attacks, and he could even use the opponent's flames to heal himself.
Of course, Huode Xingjun was probably not afraid of flames either.
But didn't he have other means?
With the decline of one and the rise of another, the advantage was mine!
But at this moment, Huode Xingjun looked up at Bai Ye, suddenly took off the hard bow hanging from his waist, then took an arrow and quickly nocked it.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye tilted his head, what did that mean?
The next moment, the arrow broke through the air and flew straight towards Bai Ye.
Hey, hey, hey, why aren't you following the script? Aren't you Huode Xingjun? Why are you carrying weapons!
Li Jia raised his hand and threw out the sun and moon twin wheels. The twin wheels separated in mid-air, turning into two beams of black and white light that descended from the sky and collided with the arrow.
With a bang, the sun and moon twin wheels and the arrow exploded simultaneously.
Li Jia cursed, "Are you stupid? Did you think he only knew how to play with fire?"
Bai Ye asked, "Isn't he Huode Xingjun?"
Li Jia said speechlessly, "He is the embodiment of a general, with a manifestation of three heads and six arms, wielding a bow, arrows, two precious swords, and a fire gourd, clad in golden armor. Besides being skilled in fire, he's very good at fighting, alright!"
Bai Ye replied, "You didn't say that earlier?"
"It's your own lack of culture," Li Jia said disdainfully. "It's one thing to be uncultured, but it's your fault for coming out and making a fool of yourself… Run…"
Li Jia's words trailed off, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned to run.
Bai Ye looked back and saw that Huode Xingjun had nocked another arrow on his bowstring. Moreover, this time he fired three arrows at once. Huode Xingjun took three arrows, arranged them in a fan shape, and nocked all three on the bowstring simultaneously.
"This is going to kill me!"
Bai Ye cursed and quickly followed him.
