For a few seconds, the place had become silent and everyone turned their gazes between him and her, realizing that they both seemed in strange synchronicity.... A strange and subtle atmosphere surrounded the place.
BOOOM!!!
A terrifying explosion from the deep water caused everyone to turn their eyes in that direction and the strangely silent atmosphere was completely broken.
BANG!
A pillar of water rose into the sky for a moment before bursting into pieces, revealing a silhouette. His body was wet as were his strange pants, but most striking was a red fist mark with small burns on the person's right chest.
This person was Luiz Fernandez.
"YOU ARE... COURTING... DEATH!!!"
Luiz Fernandez's voice thundered across the vast length and breadth of the Indian Ocean.
The people there seemed to be able to feel the anger boiling inside the "god" of the Amazon region. The six-foot tall man's face was practically distorted with rage and his eyes seemed about to blaze like two laser beams as he stared at the person guilty of his shame.
Earlier, Luiz Fernandez sneered and completely ignored the little princess of the Yao Family because although she was undoubtedly powerful, for characters of his level it was still not enough to feel truly dangerous. By normal means, if Yao Mei had used her most powerful attack, she could have slightly injured any of the "Gods" presents if they did not protect themselves; but Luiz Fernandez was probably the only one who could have withstood that attack with his unprotected physical body.
"As I understand it, Luiz Fernandez worships the god Buluc Chabtan of ancient Mayan mythology." Mu Xuegang, the ancestor of the Mu Family, explained while looking at the angry man, "The god Buluc Chabtan is a god that represents the sacrifice of human beings and his body was tattooed by all kinds of mystical runes that increased his power in battle so to a certain extent he could also be considered a kind of god of war."
Gu Yating nodded and said seriously, "Although Luiz Fernandez currently is probably the weakest of us all, his physical body is something that only Yang Luoyang can compare to."
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at the two people who were talking with a confused expression. Before the battle fully erupted, he couldn't help but ask, "Worshipping the god Buluc Chabtan from the Mayan mythology? What does that mean?"
"Mmm?" Yang Luoyang frowned slightly and looked at Xie Feng as if he didn't understand his question when he said, "What do you mean by 'what does that mean?' ... Come to think of it... which god do you worship?"
"*Cough cough...* That's not very polite to ask."
A continuous cough followed by somewhat rigid words surprised the people on China's side.
"Yo! Old man! You woke up just in time to see something funny." Yao Chu laughed happily as he watched Nangong Jun grab his head in pain.
"Something funny?" Nangong Jun muttered as he frowned. "With this headache I'm feeling I don't think I can find something funny."
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Yao Chu laughed exaggeratedly and said cheerfully, "Of course you would feel a headache! You exhausted all your energy to summon a flash of the 'Spear of Indra' what did you expect, old man?.... But look forward!"
Nangong Jun frowned even more and looked towards the place pointed out by the Yao Family ancestor, but what he saw stupefied him and he even came to think that he was seeing hallucinations brought on by his current lethargy. However, seeing that everyone seemed to be seeing the same thing he was, he finally accepted reality.
"What... What is this all about!?" Nangong Jun exclaimed in surprise. "That girl's power increased to tremendous levels!"
How could Nangong Jun not be surprised? After all, he knew that although Yao Mei was strong, the difference between her thirty minutes ago and the current her was like the difference between the mud and the clouds in the sky!
"Although I'm not too sure, it seems like that kid surnamed Xie did something." Yao Chu replied while looking at Xie Feng.
As for Xie Feng, he had been interested in the matter of the gods mentioned by the other three ancestors and was eager to learn more about it. Unfortunately, Nangong Jun's sudden awakening interrupted the flow of the conversation and the battle was about to break out.
"It looks like they're finally going to clash." Mu Xue whispered and the surprise in her gaze as she looked at Yao Mei was impossible to hide.
"You... You talk too much."
Yao Mei's baby-like voice echoed in the current battlefield. So far, Xie Feng had heard Yao Mei's voice twice in total but the surprise he felt the first time still persisted; her voice was so delicate and soft that it sounded like a cat's claw gently caressing its owner's face and sending shivers down his spine. It was definitely a beautiful voice that one could become addicted to listening at.
Yao Mei's words were an even bigger slap in the face for Luiz Fernandez who, up until now, had talked endlessly about how he was going to tear the tiny red-haired beauty's tiny body into pieces even without caring about Yao Chu's presence.
Flash!
The runes that were engraved on practically every part of Luiz Fernandez's body slowly lit up causing the latter's aura to slowly but surely rise to new heights.
"Since you're so eager to die.... Then I will gladly fulfill your wish!"
BANG!
Luiz Fernandez stomped hard on the water beneath his feet and shot forward like a torpedo! His explosive speed was undoubtedly frightening and since he was a physical type fighter and Yao Mei mainly used fire attacks, if the distance was close then the chances of her coming out victorious were very slim!
Yao Mei's face stayed impassive even in the face of such a situation. If it was a minute ago, she could not even have reacted to the attack of the Amazon "god".... But the present her could see it and even had a great chance of dodging it. Still, she just stood in the air while her two blood-red wings flapped slightly.
Luiz Fernandez clenched his left fist tightly and without even a moment's hesitation struck forward causing the air to boom continuously as proof of the power behind his attack. If this blow landed on Yao Mei's small body, she would undoubtedly be seriously injured!
However, to the surprise of the ancestor level characters who could see the battle, Yao Mei received Luiz Fernandez's attack just raising her right hand slowly.
Although Yao Mei's hand seemed to be moving slowly, it was actually moving at speeds no slower than the incoming fist.
WOOOSH!
Blood-red flames shot out of nowhere and followed Yao Mei's hand like commoners following the king's word. In the fraction of a second and less time than it takes a blink of an eye, a shield ten meters high and five meters wide formed in front of the crimson-haired beauty.
BOOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion shook the surroundings as the red flames furiously resisted the brown-skinned man's powerful punch!
Watching as the water evaporated at astonishing speeds, Xie Feng suddenly felt that if it weren't for him and Nangong Jun raising the sea level by destroying and melting the glaciers for thousands of miles around, marine life would probably have been severely affected.
While Luiz Fernandez was slightly astonished by the speed of reaction and defensive power displayed by the girl in front of him, Yao Mei wasted no time and responded with her own attack.
"Inferno." The fifteen years old beauty's red lips whispered words in a sweet manner, but what happened next was not charming at all.
¡¡¡¡BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
The sky turned blood red and the people who were still terrified paying attention to what was happening in Antarctica became even more alarmed when they saw the red clouds above their heads. From half of the Asian continent to most of Africa, regardless of whether it was day or night, the sky turned blood red and the ground beneath everyone's feet shook slightly.
Although this shaking was less than the quake caused by the collision between the huge typhoon and the lightning spear, the fear that the inhabitants of Earth received was no less.
"Oh? Looks like this little girl wants to end this quickly." Xie Feng smiled faintly and chatted casually with Xie Yao.
In front of everyone's dumbfounded gaze, including the "gods" of most of the world, a gigantic sphere that could be seen from the coastal countries, as red as the blood that had formed from Yao Mei's flames, was floating several hundred meters above the ocean.
Even at a considerable height, the surrounding water was steadily evaporating and steam would have covered the entire area had it not been for Gu Yating controlling constant gusts of wind.
The fire sphere had surrounded both Yao Mei and Luiz Fernandez and nobody knew what was going on inside the fire world.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!!
BOOOOM!!!!!
Explosion after explosion constantly shook the fire sphere and the rumbling sound had made it clear to everyone that a fierce battle was taking place inside the spell conjured by Yao Mei.
In fact, Yao Mei's flame was so special that no one could see anything and even those who controlled fire as was the case with the ancestor of the Yao Family had no idea who would emerge victorious from this clash of titans.
