An unprecedented explosion of flames.
The magma melted the sand surface, superimposed with scorching heat, and the temperature rose.
Shendu just stood still, which gave Harribel unimaginable psychological pressure.
Under the high temperature, the sand surface melted, solidified, and cracked again, forming hideous ravines that filled the barren desert with devilish smiles.
The Adjucha looked at Shendu with terrified eyes, their bodies retreating instinctively, trying to stay away from the pervading high temperature.
Compared to the scorching sea current released by Harribel earlier, the flame controlled by Shendu at this moment was many times more aggressive.
Even from a long distance, one could clearly feel the burning sensation hitting their face.
The few Gillians that survived the tide were even more frightened, shivering uncontrollably.
This fear came from instinct and had nothing to do with the confusion of their consciousness.
Harribel's breathing was a little short; the lips under her mask slightly pursed, and a trace of uneasiness and unwillingness lingered in her green pupils.
Why is this guy in front of me more terrifying than Baraggan from the Void Night Palace?
Shendu moved his muscles and bones, his whole body emitting a sound like cracking noises.
"There's no point in unnecessary surprise."
"Instead of thinking about this, think about how to deal with the next battle."
"Don't die."
Hum—
Shendu's figure flickered, disappearing on the spot, and in an instant, appeared in front of Harribel.
The distance between their hollow faces was so close that Harribel could even feel the airflow generated by Shendu's breath—hotter than flames.
"If you die, I will be very heartbroken..."
The low-pitched, magnetic sound echoed in Harribel's ears, causing her movements to panic subconsciously.
The bone greatsword she had raised was about to slash down when Shendu once again displayed his frightening power. He opened his sharp claws and rushed forward without hesitation.
The dark green palm collided with the sharp teeth of the bone greatsword.
The flames and water flow interlaced, evaporating a large amount of water vapor, only to be completely wiped away by the high temperature the next moment.
Blood slid down the bone greatsword.
The fusion of scarlet and snow-white added a different brilliance to this battle.
Boom!
The flames erupted again.
Shendu, with the magic energy of fire and the power of the Dragon Talisman, experienced no consumption at all.
This level of fighting wouldn't affect him even if it continued for three days and three nights.
Without blinking an eye.
Harribel tried to regain control of the battle, unleashing a brilliant golden Reiatsu from her bone greatsword.
She was very clear that in terms of pure power, Shendu was absolutely invincible.
Not to mention her—even if multiple Vasto Lordes joined forces, they might not be able to overpower Shendu's strength.
High-density spiritual particles condensed, turning into beams of light that shot out from the bone greatsword.
Cero!
Shendu gave up his control over Harribel, instead throwing out a backhanded Dragon Blast.
Compared to Cero, the explosive power of the Dragon Talisman was faster and more violent.
The scorching beam of light and the golden Cero collided, exploding into endless heat waves.
Gold and red interlaced as the wind howled.
After the brief explosion, relying on his dragon body's strength, Shendu once again performed the sonido technique, disappearing on the spot.
Harribel, on the other hand, was momentarily out of balance. The bone greatsword hadn't even been raised before Shendu's attack arrived.
There was no pity in his movements.
Shendu punched hard, blasting forward. The violent air explosion caused ripples visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
Harribel only had time to block with her arms. The tremendous force struck her, as if she were hit by a high-speed train.
Crack!
Her arm bones broke; her sternum shattered.
Like a rolling gourd, she tumbled on the scorched sand, forming deep pits one after another.
When Harribel finally managed to stand, a look of pain flashed in her eyes. She spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the white bones in front of her red.
Her slender arm hung limply, broken, no longer able to participate in the battle.
Total suppression in every sense.
Harribel's special ability was restrained by Shendu's flames, and she was ruthlessly dominated in melee combat.
Even the release speed of her Cero was far inferior to the explosive power of the Dragon Talisman.
Shendu stretched out his dark green palm, spreading it in front of Harribel.
"I cherish an existence like you, even in battle."
"It would be a sad thing if someone as exquisite as you—like a work of art—was destroyed by combat."
If Harribel, with her rebellious demeanor, truly surrendered, her loyalty would undoubtedly be unparalleled.
Compared to some weak and disobedient subordinates, the coffee-colored Menos Grande in front of him was undoubtedly a treasure.
Shendu was not stingy with his admiring gaze.
"Don't underestimate any Vasto Lorde."
Even at a disadvantage, Harribel showed no sign of discouragement.
"Crisis and strength coexist."
"This is the unchanging law of battle."
"And now, you have let your guard down!"
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly drove her bone greatsword into the sand beneath her feet.
Hum—
The scorched desert trembled, as if a giant beast were stirring beneath the surface.
Accompanied by a surge of golden Reiatsu, a series of ferocious cracks tore open the sand surface, and swift, violent tides surged out from below!
Boom, boom, boom!
Countless waterfalls erupted, each containing enough power to shatter mountains.
To prevent Shendu from dodging, Harribel expanded the range of the attack to within a hundred miles.
However, this also over-consumed her Reiatsu, leaving her nearly incapable of continuing the fight.
Shendu, now engulfed by the tide-like waterfalls, seemed on the verge of being crushed by the immense force.
"Did she bury the water flow beneath the desert during our close combat earlier?"
"This must be a desperate gamble..."
Through the currents, he observed Harribel panting, unable to hide her exhaustion.
The tide morphed into a tornado waterfall that blocked the sky, burying the moonlight, and rushed at Shendu with an overwhelming presence.
Harribel gazed at the submerged Shendu, her tense heart slowly calming.
No Menos Grande could withstand such an attack...
Suddenly.
Harribel's expression froze; her pupils contracted. A look of disbelief flashed across her face.
Swish—
From the depths of the azure tides, two brilliant golden lights burst forth, tearing apart the tornado waterfall that veiled the sky.
Shendu stepped out of the pouring water. The scorching heat evaporated the water vapor around him.
His previously blood-red eyes now glowed with dazzling golden light.
