Chapter 273 Fall of a "God"! Tears of Heaven and Totem of the God of War! (2)

BOOM!

The booms coming from inside the giant fire sphere continued to propagate in such a way that even with a strong wall of flames acting as an insulator they could still be heard clearly as if nuclear bombs were detonating one after the other.

Fortunately, since the fire world was containing practically all of the shock waves, the outside world did not suffer any major shocks and there were not too many changes in the environment except for the constant evaporation of water for several thousand kilometers around due to the high temperatures; however, this could not be considered a bad thing either, on the contrary, it was a good thing since the constant evaporation of oceanic water was bringing the sea levels back to normal.

"Too bad we can't know what's going on inside that fireball." Yang Li'er couldn't help but whisper with some regret. What had happened tonight was something that had opened her eyes in such a way that her life would never be the same again.

Not only Yang Li'er, probably most of the people present felt the same way. In the past, whenever the younger ones saw normal people walking on the street and living day to day life as if nothing was happening, they naturally felt superior. But the strength of the ancestors and the foreign "gods" had frightened them too much.

However, what really raised the alarm bells in everyone's mind was the presence of Xie Feng. Before Yao Mei's birthday, most of them did not even know Xie Feng and even those who knew a little about him were mainly because he had been Mu Wuying's boyfriend in the past. But just like the Yang Family patriarch, Yang Jie, had said earlier; what if, believing that with the background of their families they could do as they pleased, they ended up provoking him just because they thought he was a normal and helpless person? Wouldn't it be a disaster? The Nangong Family was the living proof! If it wasn't for the existence of a character like Nangong Jun guarding their safety, the entire Nangong Family would be in for a possible annihilation!

Of course, Xie Feng could have killed Nangong Wentian and Nangong Lei by taking advantage of Nangong Jun being out of action, but he was not an unreasonable person. Xie Feng knew perfectly well that if he wanted to kill the father and son duo, he should also end Nangong Jun's life; otherwise, Xie Feng had no confidence in protecting his loved ones from such a powerful and hateful person at all times.

Besides, Xie Feng was not naive enough to believe that the other families would stand idly by and let him act as he pleased. He knew well that although he was probably stronger than all of them, if four of them united to restrain him and one of them tried to capture Xie Yao, he would probably not be able to protect her with 100% certainty ... Especially Yang Luoyang; Xie Feng could feel the body of the man who appeared to be 55 years old overflowing with frightening power. The Yang Family ancestor's defensive power was undoubtedly incredibly great and enough to restrict his movements for some time.

Anyway, Xie Feng already obtained Nangong Jun's vow and Gu Qianxue was now officially his woman; there was nothing Nangong Wentian or Nangong Lei could do about it no matter how unhappy they felt about their family ancestor's judgment. Since things could be settled calmly, so much the better for him. After all, Xie Feng was not a homicidal madman who annihilates families everywhere and for any reason.

Besides, he was really grateful to Nangong Jun because, although he had practically given him no choice, the old man "helped" him to release all the stress that his body had accumulated throughout his life. To say that Xie Feng felt completely relieved of all burden was undoubtedly correct.

"It should end soon." Yao Chu continued with the conversation, but a small frown had appeared on his previously smiling face.

"Ancestor... Is something wrong?" Yao Xiyu asked respectfully but in a worried manner when he thought that his daughter might be in danger.

"Let's just hope that this uncomfortable feeling is nothing major..." The Yao Family ancestor shook his head and sighed.

The battle continued for thirty full minutes.

RUMBLE...

"It's breaking." Vhan, the skeletal elder, narrowed his eyes at the burning sphere and soon noticed that the flames were weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye at the same time as its size was rapidly decreasing.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on the sphere of flames with their eyes wide open for fear of missing some important detail. One could imagine that if the spectators were nervous then how the Yao Family must be feeling.... Yao Mei's parents and brother had a worried expression plastered all over their faces, fearing the worst. In fact, if it wasn't for Yao Chu's presence acting as a pillar and inspiring some security and confidence, they would have already collapsed on the spot due to the high anxiety that was slowly consuming them.

BANG!!!

With a loud bang, the fire world created by Yao Mei completely dispersed and flames with a horrible temperature disappeared as if by magic before touching the ocean.

At the same time as the world disappeared completely, the reddish color of the sky receded immediately afterwards and everything returned to normal. Now, people could see the two people who had disappeared from their sight for a full thirty minutes.

""Mei'er!""

"Little Mei!"

The Empress of Fire's parents and her older brother shouted her name at the same time when they saw her again. Even Yao Ruolan, Yao Mei's aunt, had a worried look on her face although they were not that close to each other due to Yao Mei's aloof personality.

Drip... Drip... Drip...

Drips of red blood were falling on the ocean slowly and their sound in the middle of the silent night joined the dancing of the waves to be heard by all.

Yao Mei's fire armor had completely disappeared and the evening dress had returned to her body once again. Her blood-red wings lost some brightness and the length was greatly shortened compared to the past. The little beauty's long hair that had grown exponentially after Xie Feng boosted her fire power had also returned to normal.... But the most striking thing was her pale face as well as the streaks of blood dripping from her right arm.

Nothing dangerous, but she had certainly been injured.

"What a pity." Xie Feng muttered under his breath with regret as he looked at the little pale beauty. "Looks like that blazing fireball consumed most of this little girl's power, otherwise she should have been in that condition for at least an hour."

Although neither Xie Feng nor anyone else knew what the usage of the fire sphere that Yao Mei had called 'Inferno' was, it certainly must have been a very powerful magic spell, and as a result, its power consumption must have been very high as well.

"He he. But it was worth it." Yao Chu responded to Xie Feng's muttering with a smile as he looked mockingly at the Amazon 'god'.

"Heh... I guess." Xie Feng shrugged his shoulders and looked at the six-foot giant with fun.

Luiz Fernandez kept his gaze fixed on Yao Mei the entire time as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deep in his mind. At this moment, the human iron tower's body no longer looked as powerful and terrifying like it did thirty minutes ago.... No, it still looked terrifying but the reasons were different.

His previously brown skin had now turned practically pitch black and blood stains of dried blood that had also turned black could be found everywhere on his body. But the most striking thing was the countless number of fist marks that could be seen all over the six-foot man's body.... On the right side of his chest, right at the first place where Yao Mei initially hit but did not cause any damage, it could be seen with total clarity how his thoracic cage had melted in such a way that the curvature was like the dent of a vehicle after being hit by a stone.

Just looking at Yao Mei's scratch and the condition of Luiz Fernandez, it was obvious to everyone who was the victorious person in this battle.

Cough!

Luiz Fernandez spat out a big mouthful of charred blood and said in a hoarse voice, "Not bad.... You are strong."

Yao Mei looked at him silently and said nothing. Although she had won, she knew that the reason she was able to practically completely overwhelm the man in front of her was due to the twenty years old man who watched everything casually from the air; if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be able to summon her fire domain and amplify her physical powers to brand new levels.

"Next time... I will defeat you myself." Yao Mei said after several seconds of silence, to which the Amazon "god" nodded. There was no longer mockery, indifference, or disdain on the six-foot man's face.

However...

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid there won't be a next time."

A voice as cold as ice interrupted and directly denied the Empress of Fire's words.

Of course, the person who had interrupted was Xie Feng. When those present looked in his direction, they saw that he was staring with eyes as cold as ice and as sharp as a legendary sword at the Amazon man. From his gaze alone it was obvious that he was not very happy.
