Chapter 179: Hellfire Fist

Hou Ao was being completely suppressed by Jack throughout the fight, realizing that his proud recovery ability was utterly overwhelmed and helpless against Jack.

Hou Ao had no choice but to go all out, initiating the Inner Blood Sacrifice Ritual.

Originally, Kamiyu was very worried about the effects of this Blood Sacrifice Ritual, but after Hou Ao shouted for a long time, it turned out he had produced nothing but a big flop.

The effect he unleashed was actually just a Skill that every Veteran Player in Crimson Earth knew.

In Crimson Earth, any Mage Player above level 10 was proficient in the three basic spells: Fireball Spell, Fire Pillar, and Fire Bush—all of which were executed more skillfully than Hou Ao’s attempts.

More advanced players like Fire Dancers, Fire Warriors, and Fire Fist Masters—Warrior-type players with elemental attacks—were leagues ahead of Hou Ao in hand-to-hand combat.

This was only natural. The Veteran Players of Crimson Earth didn’t slack off; they constantly walked the line between life and death, where a single misstep could lead to being surrounded and killed by Aberrant Beast Demons.

Kamiyu felt that any Player who had survived the Hell Tide could easily crush these self-proclaimed “beacons of human evolution” clowns into the ground.

Kamiyu increasingly felt this was a conspiracy. “Mephisto had told her that the Fear Emperor had seized this rare opportunity to come from Hell to the human world to Revive himself.

The Fear Emperor, who took pleasure in slaughtering humans, would never be so kind as to grant abilities to humans, turning them into Ability Users.

These Ability Users, in ancient times, would have been the ‘Cruel Officials’ by the Emperor’s side—used and discarded once their value was exhausted.

All of them were nothing but Rations for the Fear Emperor, not even qualified to be his subordinates. They were merely Chess Pieces to Revive the Fear Emperor himself.”

Returning to the Battlefield.

Seeing Hou Ao’s foolish attempt to imitate Jack by clashing with him using fire-attribute Attack Power Skills, Kamiyu knew this person had no idea how to play.

Anyone with half a brain, when facing a fire-attribute Warrior, would naturally create distance, drink a Fire Resistance Potion, and then counter with ice-attribute Skills.

It was obvious that Hou Ao’s brain wasn’t working properly.

Hou Ao continuously used fire-attribute Attacks against Jack, who didn’t even bother dodging. Instead, he charged straight into Hou Ao’s assaults.

Sometimes, when he saw Hou Ao’s Techniques going astray, Jack would silently shift his center of gravity to take the hit, contributing to the Elemental Sprite’s Piggy Bank.

Kamiyu covered her mouth and chuckled quietly. “Jack is so sneaky, deliberately slowing down and even taking the opponent’s Skills head-on.

That idiot is spamming Skills randomly, and Jack is afraid he might miss, so he actively closes in on that fool.”

Seeing that his opponent didn’t know how to fight, Jack lowered his speed.

Hou Ao thought his Skills were effective and had injured Jack, which was why his speed had slowed.

“Damn, even this can miss?” Jack adjusted his position in the blink of an eye, positioning himself to meet Hou Ao’s fist head-on.

With a “Boom,” Jack “took” Hou Ao’s punch head-on and was sent flying back over a dozen steps.

It had to be said that Jack’s acting was truly masterful. He even feigned injury, clutching his chest and showing a pained expression as he said, “What a powerful Attack. I… I actually couldn’t withstand it.”

Hou Ao felt something was off, but hearing the other party’s words, he straightened his back, took a few deep breaths to steady himself, and then shouted loudly, “See, this is the power of a Fourth-Tier Ability User after a Blood Sacrifice. I can knock you down with a single punch.

Kneel before us Ability Users, humans, and admit that you are an inferior race.”

“Injured? Where is he injured?” Kamiyu thought to herself, secretly laughing.

Kamiyu covered her mouth with both hands to stifle her laughter. She and Jack were in a team, so she could see Jack’s Health Bar. At this moment, Jack’s Health was still full—in fact, it had been full from start to finish. He hadn’t lost a single drop of blood.

Everyone in the Black Sphere Room felt extremely disheartened by this scene.

“How could this be?”

“It’s over, it’s over. Even the Black Armor Warrior can’t win. Humanity is truly doomed.”

“This can’t be happening.”

“What do you mean it can’t be happening? Look at that Pink Hair, she’s so shocked she’s frozen in place, just covering her mouth.”

“Useless, absolutely useless. All she does is stand there in shock. Go help him!”

“Hey, don’t be so hard on a girl. If you were there, you’d probably be so scared you’d soil yourself.”

“Xiao Zhong, don’t bother contacting her anymore. Let’s all just wait to die together. There’s no hope.” The person slumped to the ground in despair.

At this moment, Brother Dong started mocking again, “Those Ability Users are right. They are the light of human evolution. Survival of the fittest—we deserve to be devoured by those Ability Users.”

On the other side, the two Ability Users on the tree branch had different expressions.

Qian Long, seeing Hou Ao regain the upper hand, looked as if he had lost millions of Kill Counts and said, “Oh my, he actually managed to turn things around.”

Men San warned, “Watch your mouth. Hou Ao is our comrade, and humans are our food.”

Qian Long thought to himself, “When he’s useful, he’s a comrade. When he’s not, he’s food. Just a moment ago, you even allowed me to perform a Blood Sacrifice on Hou Ao.

When I gain power, you’ll be the first one I sacrifice. What are you so smug about?”

Seeing Jack “panting heavily,” Kamiyu took the initiative to step forward with her gun and asked with concern, “Jack, are you okay?”

Subtext: “What’s the situation with your Elemental Sprite’s Piggy Bank now?”

Jack quickly caught on to Kamiyu’s subtext and replied, “No problem, I won’t lose.”

Kamiyu understood Jack’s hidden message. Jack never cared about winning or losing—only Kamiyu often said such things. By using Kamiyu’s line, Jack meant he would hold back and let Kamiyu take down the Fourth-Tier Ability User to earn Enhancement Points.

Hou Ao roared wildly, “Another one coming to die? Good, I’ll send both of you to the afterlife together and devour you in a Blood Sacrifice.”

Jack pretended to be exhausted and weakly lunged forward.

Seeing Jack in such a poor state, Hou Ao seized the opportunity to charge forward, ready to finish Jack off with a single punch.

“Now’s the time!” Kamiyu noticed Hou Ao’s full of openings in his movements. Clenching her fist with one hand, she shouted to Jack in an encouraging tone, “Now’s the time! Use Inferno Fist on him!”

A “click” sound, like a lighter’s gear scraping.

Jack clenched his right fist tightly, shedding his earlier “weakness,” and charged forward like a fierce tiger.

Only now did he truly unleash the 3x Movement Speed of his Skate Shoes. His speed was so fast that Hou Ao couldn’t dodge.

“Cross Counter Punch.” A player’s eyes lit up; this was an extremely fast boxing technique that could utilize the opponent’s speed to reflect all the damage back at them.

It was like making the opponent crash into the fist themselves.

Just like two locomotives colliding.

Burning, Hellfire Fist.

Elemental Sprite’s Piggy Bank, all fire damage completely cleared.

With a “Boom.”

Hou Ao was forcibly burned from a fleshy human directly into a skeleton.

“Damn, the DPS was too high, I almost burned him to death. The second Hellfire Fist from Thorns Reflection is about to come, who should I ignite next?”
