Chapter 446 Third Rank Power

"Chirp————!"

The crescent-like dagger and the sharp sword rubbed against each other, producing an extremely ear-piercing noise. Sparks incessantly erupted, glittering in the ruins filled with dark red flames.

Holding the Moonlight Dagger tightly, Fang Li blocked the incoming powerful thrust while enduring the continuous force applied by the opponent. He watched the Assassin launching the attack.

The man had his face wrapped in a scarf-like cloth, a cloth strip tied around his head, and a cloak draped over his tall yet slender figure. A deathly aura permeated his entire being.

The man's facial features were entirely obscured, even the parts not covered by the scarf were only a blurry silhouette. Only his eyes, like those of a devil, glowed a completely dark red, staring fixedly at Fang Li, making the surrounding air grow gloomy and cold.

— 'Kaijin (Destructive Blade).'

This was the True Name of the Crimson World Denizen before him.

Alias, Sabrac, an assassin unaffiliated with any organization, taking commissions exclusively for assassinations. A truly deserving assassin.

Moreover, he was an incredibly powerful assassin, having taken the lives of countless Flame Haze and the Crimson World Crimson Lords.

Perhaps, in terms of the number of Flame Haze killed, Sabrac even surpassed Friagne, known as the Flame Haze assassin. This was solely due to their distinct natures.

And it was a reference to nothing else but strength.

This Crimson World Crimson Lord before Fang Li was famously powerful. He had never failed to achieve his goals and was unmatched in his ability as an assassin. As a Crimson World Crimson Lord, his strength was beyond top-notch.

One could see this from the vast sea of flames that once was a ruin.

Sabrac's strength was fearsome.

(He is absolutely a Third Rank existence…)

Although lacking the overwhelming pressure Sydonay exuded when imposing his manner, the sharp murderous aura emanating from Sabrac's body stabbed into Fang Li's nerves. It told Fang Li that even without the strength of the Trinity, the assassin before him was one of the top Crimson World Lords.

(Unexpectedly, this guy would be here…)

Facing such a formidable attack, Fang Li's memories related to Sabrac were fully stimulated and awakened.

Therefore, Fang Li knew that Sabrac's employer was the "Bal Masqué."

In other words, Sabrac accepted the commission from the "Bal Masqué" to come here and take Fang Li's life.

"Bang————!"

With an explosive sound, Sabrac's entire body ignited with dark red flames.

"Pā Pā Pā Pā————!"

The already fragile ground, under this sudden and violent outbreak, immediately cracked open and collapsed shortly afterward.

Countless debris rained down into the seemingly bottomless abyss below, hiding the sky and covering the earth.

Fang Li, mixed with the rubble, fell downward.

Before Fang Li could use the flight effect of the Hermes boots to hover in mid-air, the assassin named Sabrac above moved.

"BOOM————!"

In the thunderous roar, the exceptionally berserk dark red flames, like a vortex, surged over Sabrac's body.

Sabrac was thus engulfed in dark red flames, and the flames beneath him turned into a raging torrent, constantly undulating. Sabrac appeared as if he were standing atop the tumultuous waves of fire like a surfer riding the wind and breaking the waves. 

Carrying a vast imposing manner, he descended violently towards Fang Li below, like a surfer riding the wind and breaking the waves.

In the next moment, within the raging flames beneath Sabrac, countless swords surged once again, carrying surging dark red flames. They resembled meteors, raining down on Fang Li like a torrential storm.

This was Sabrac's triumphant Unrestricted Spell — "Akaneiro no Dotou."

Mixed within the waves of flames were numerous swords capable of engulfing enemies in a deadly vortex of fire and blades. Regardless of which side Fang Li responded to, if he managed to block one attack, he would be subjected to the terrifying Unrestricted Spell's relentless onslaught from the other side.

At this moment, even if Fang Li wore the Azure's Fire Ring, it would be useless.

Without hesitation, Fang Li abandoned flight, letting his body fall freely along with gravity. His empty hand tightened its grip.

A dazzling white activation body suddenly flashed, appearing in Fang Li's hand.

"Zheng————!"

A dazzling white light radiated from the Urm Manadyte.

With the violently surging Mana emanating from the Urm Manadyte, the energy blade of Bo Xie instantly formed. Fang Li lifted it high, the blade shining with a pure white glow.

Rich Prana poured into it, causing Bo Xie's Urm Manadyte to once again radiate a dazzling light.

"Buzz————!"

Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere began to flow violently, forming into gusts of tornadoes converging towards Bo Xie.

"Compression!"

At Fang Li's command, the gathered airflow abruptly compressed around Bo Xie's energy blade.

Simultaneously, countless swords, interwoven with dark red flames, akin to a surging wave of fire, violently shot toward Fang Li, directly enveloping his figure.

"Liberation!"

Fang Li's voice resounded amidst the incoming flames and swords.

"BOOM————!"

A thunderous explosion echoed, resembling the impact of a heavy cannon.

A berserk hurricane suddenly emerged from the surging wave of countless fiery swords. Like a needle against a stalk of wheat, it transformed into another invisible tempest, fiercely colliding with the oncoming wave of flames.

"BOOM————!"

In the world-shaking roar, the hurricane and the fiery surge heavily collided, sending berserk waves and fire in all directions.

Wherever they passed, whether it was rubble or debris, they were either crushed by the airflow or consumed by the flames, causing the entire collapsed hollow to tremble suddenly.

One side wielded the Ability of the third-rank Ogre Lux.

The other side commanded the Unrestricted Spell of the third-rank Crimson World Crimson Lord.

In the collision of powers of the same rank, the astonishing forces from both sides canceled out a significant portion, yet what remained was still enough to annihilate everything, looking exceptionally terrifying.

Fang Li was sent flying like a ball under the impact of the terrifying blast wave, struggling to stabilize his figure and landing on the ground below.

"————!"

Just as he landed, a severe pain swept through Fang Li's entire body, causing him to involuntarily kneel on one knee.

"This is..."

Fang Li's eyes flashed slightly as those numerous wounds began to expand on his body, allowing copious amounts of fresh blood to seep out.
