Chapter Seventy-Six: Blazing Firelight

Li Yang charged towards the oncoming swarm of fire foxes, his gaze fixed firmly on the Fire Fox King hiding at the center of the group. As Li Yang collided with the swarm of fire foxes, hundreds of them rushed forth, disregarding their lives to bite at him. However, as soon as they got close, they were burned to ashes by the blue flames surrounding Li Yang.
Only a Firefox that has reached the second stage can barely withstand the blue flames surrounding Li Yang, providing some disturbances and hindrances to him. Surrounding Li Yang, blue flames cover an area within ten meters, forming a sea of deadly fire where no creatures can survive, except for Li Yang.
In the center of the fox group, the Fox King silently observed, and even in the heart of the fox group, there was still a hint of deeply hidden fear in its eyes.
In just ten minutes, the fox group had already lost nearly a hundred members. The Fox King looked at the damage to the fox group and let out a long cry. Upon hearing the Fox King's call, the fox group began to change their formation, no longer solely engaging in close combat with Li Yang, but instead attacking Li Yang from a distance with fiery spells.
Facing the strategy change of the Firefox group, Li Yang secretly thought, this beast is indeed clever, understanding that close combat incurs too much loss, and has switched to long-range attacks against me. As a result, eliminating the Firefox will require much more star power than before.
At this rate, it won't be long before my star power is exhausted and I'll have to retreat. Sounds good, doesn't it? However, it's not that easy. If you want to exhaust me, let's see who dies first!
The star power within Li Yang skyrocketed in an instant, his speed suddenly increasing several times, as fireballs rained down like raindrops, all scraping past without touching the corner of Li Yang's clothes.
Li Yang's figure transformed into a blue flame, maneuvering left and right among the group of fire foxes. In just a few breaths, he had slaughtered dozens of fire foxes and arrived in front of the Fire Fox King. The sharp eagle claws were infused with terrifying blue flames, striking the Fire Fox King's chest at lightning speed.
In just an instant, the Fire Fox King’s figure was sent flying backward over a hundred meters, crushing several Fire Foxes in the process. The Fire Fox King then clawed at the ground, leaving deep scratches in the earth. After retreating for several more meters, it finally steadied its stance.
At this moment, a claw mark over a meter long appeared on the chest of the Firefox King, with wisps of blue flames clinging to the wound. Under the burning of the blue flames, the injury continued to deteriorate, with drops of purulent blood falling to the ground.
胸口剧烈的疼痛，让火狐的面孔变得扭曲，凶厉的眼神直勾勾的盯着李阳，原本对李阳的惧怕，在剧烈的疼痛下，野兽的凶性被激活。
At the base of the fiery king's tail, intense fire elements were condensed, and its own star power surged towards the tail like blood vessels.
From the three tails, three dark red rays shot out, aiming directly at Li Yang; in the blink of an eye, the dark red rays were already closing in on him, their speed leaving Li Yang utterly unable to evade.
Li Yang looked at the three dark red rays with a surprised expression in his eyes. He thought to himself, it seems they are desperate now, using their finishing move. This speed, even for a fourth-tier Awakened, if they aren't adept at speed, it would be terrifyingly difficult to dodge these three rays.
In an instant, realizing that there was no way to dodge, Li Yang's expression turned serious. The blue flames around him surged towards his chest, forming a barrier of fire. Three dark red rays struck the fire barrier, and after a moment of energy collision, the dark red rays breached the fire barrier that Li Yang had created.
Li Yang's figure flew out from the flames, crashing into the group of fire foxes, knocking down several of them.
The Fire Fox King looked at the flying Li Yang, a hint of cunning flashing in its eyes, and let out a long cry towards the sky. Upon hearing the command, the group of fire foxes instantly surged towards Li Yang.
In an instant, the location where Li Yang was situated was surrounded by dozens of fire foxes, forming a small mound.
The Fire Fox King observed all of this, gradually letting down its guard. Li Yang, who was surrounded, had not moved for dozens of breaths, as if he had already been engulfed by the swarm of fire foxes.
The Fire Fox King is very confident in his finishing move; anyone below the fourth tier will definitely be unable to dodge it, and its power is sufficient to severely injure a three-tiered, three-star existence.
However, using it once puts a considerable burden on himself, resulting in certain aftereffects, and he will enter a weakened state for a period of time, with his strength dropping to the level of a two-tiered, three-star being.
After using this move, the Fire Fox King emanated a rich heat, with drops of crimson sweat falling from its body. Its aura also weakened significantly, barely reaching thirty percent of its peak state. The second-tier fire foxes from the Fire Fox group gathered around it, providing protection.
On the other side, within the encirclement of the Fire Fox group surrounding Li Yang, suddenly emanated a series of blazing fire flashes. A slope formed by the Fire Fox was reduced to ashes under the intense flames. The searing firelight shot up into the sky, engulfing the surrounding area within dozens of meters, where everything living within the range was instantly turned to dust.
The brilliant light produced by the blazing flames made the entire valley seem like it was under the blazing sun, the dazzling brightness causing the fox fire group to be unable to open their eyes.
From the raging flames, a figure shot out, instantly arriving in front of the Fox Fire King, striking fiercely at the crown of the Fox Fire King’s head with both hands.
Wuwuwu, the firefox king's painful roar echoed throughout the valley. The two figures intertwined rapidly, constantly colliding in strikes, so fast that only two afterimages could be seen as they continued to clash.
The shockwaves generated by the collision of the two sent the surrounding fire foxes flying away. After several breaths, the intense flames dissipated, and the blinding light gradually faded, revealing the figures of the Fire Fox King and Li Yang.
The right eye of the Fox King has vanished, leaving behind only a bloody hole and sizzling flesh, with dozens of wounds appearing on its body. The deepest wounds nearly pierce through its entire form.
The three crimson fire tails of the fox king were left with only two, looking extremely tragic, and its breath had become weak beyond measure.
At this moment, Li Yang had his left hand tightly gripping the fox king's neck, his right hand grabbing the incoming fire fox king's tail, but his neck and waist were entangled by another tail of the fox king.
On the left side of the chest, three bloody holes appeared, clearly inflicted by the Fire Fox King's lethal strike. In addition, the clothing on the chest was torn apart. Dozens of bloodstains appeared, and a bite mark also showed up on the right leg. The aura emanating from the body was diminished by more than half, only at about thirty percent of its peak state.
However, the ferocity contained in his eyes was indeed more terrifying than ever, a savage light that made Li Yang resemble a wild beast.
At this moment, the two were mutually bound, unable to break free, and began to struggle against each other. However, it was clear that Li Yang was stronger; in the struggle, the Fire Fox King was in an absolutely weak position. One could tell from the surging levels of their star power that the Fire Fox King couldn't hold on for much longer.
At this moment, with a shout from the Fire Fox King, the fire foxes surrounding Li Yang attacked from behind, clearly aiming to strike from his blind side. At this point, both sides were mutually restraining each other, leaving Li Yang's back undefended and exposing a weakness.
