The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 17 Suzaku · Flurry

[Suzaku·Nanli Fire]

Huo Jixing, whose face was stained with blood, was looking at the golden-red fireworks igniting between the tiger's mouth in shock.

He felt an immense sense of intimacy from it.

The terrifying high temperature and the soul-searing fireworks seemed unable to harm him, and they slowly changed shapes as he controlled his consciousness.

"It turns out that this is the real way to use [Talent·Star Spirit·Suzaku]!" Huo Jixing had a realization.

At this time, I felt a little ashamed when I recalled my knowledge of Nanli Fire.

Suzaku, one of the four spirits in heaven.

How could it be possible that the Nanli Fire it gave him could only improve his physical fitness and make him unafraid of the cold wind?

Fortunately, it's not too late now. In the fight between life and death, Huo Jixing finally understood some of the ways to use Nanli's fire.

However, the moment Huo Jixing came back to his senses.

The blazing golden-red fireworks seemed to be relying on the biting cold wind to explode and sweep across the whole body in an instant.

In shock, Huo Jixing lowered his eyes. The blazing golden-red fireworks were reflected in the dark pupils, and he noticed something unusual.

This Nanli fire does not seem to be duckweed without roots.

It seems to be sweeping across the body, but it is actually moving along the red blood.

"Use my blood as firewood?" Huo Jixing thought about it and wanted to continue to explore something, but

oh! Ouch! Ouch!

Suddenly, a shrill howl of a wolf sounded, interrupting Huo Jixing's thoughts.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Huo Jixing saw in the hazy white mist the frost-toothed giant wolf flying into the air to kill, the young beast spirit apprentice coming with a sword, and the many looters who returned to surround and kill.

The faces smeared with blood and ashes were mixed with many different emotions, including fear, horror, viciousness, madness, and so on.

"Are you afraid of me?!"

The shrill wolf howl sounded, and although Huo Jixing knelt down, he didn't behave as badly as before.

Because the Nanli fire covering the whole body is burning everything close to him, including the spiritual power carried in the howling.

"What a pity, your plan."

Huo Jixing grinned, his thin face covered with blood revealed a violent and cruel smile.

"Failed!"

Huo Jixing walked with his waist down, his feet crushed the ice and snow, and he was buried deep in the snow.

Then he turned his wrist, and the curved and broken sword blade cut through the hazy white mist, and a golden-red firework covered the sword body.

In an instant!

In the silent battlefield, in the red and white snow.

Suddenly, countless golden-red Nanli fires spurted out. Their momentum was so violent, so turbulent, and so fast that they suppressed the biting cold wind and falling snowflakes.

boom!

【Suzaku · Flurry】

Huo Jixing waved his sword lightly.

The bright yellow and blazing fire of Nanli suddenly turned into a sea of ​​​​fire, and bursts of white mist rose.

Faintly.

There seemed to be a red bird reflected in the white mist of the snow, its golden and red crown raised, its red wings spread out, covering the attacking marauders and the frost-toothed giant wolf.

Boom!

Fireworks are raging and the Suzaku is crowing!

In the sea of ​​golden-red fire, the sword blade covered with fireworks cut through the hard and thick fabric and penetrated straight into the strong bodies of the marauders. As the sword moved, the flames burned, burning out all combustible objects.

The offensive continued. Huo Jixing stepped in front of the giant frost-fang wolf and the beast spirit apprentice, facing the sharp claws and bone knives. The pyrotechnic blade he held tightly in his hand rotated with the force, like a crimson half-moon, rising from the sky. come down.

Ouch!

On the red-white snow, within the violent golden-red Nanli Fire, there were whining and howling sounds.

It was accompanied by the sound of the sword cutting the flesh, and the sound of thunder as the flames burned the fur.

at last……

All sounds stopped within the fire of Nanli.

Plop! Plop!

Amidst the dull sound, a completely charred corpse of a giant wolf and a head with disheveled hair rose into the air from the fireworks and rolled down to the snow, stained by patches of fresh snow.

"Beast spirit apprentice?"

In the place where the fireworks were burning, Huo Jixing lowered his head, looked at the rolling head on the ground, and then looked at the burnt frost-toothed giant wolf, with a hint of joy in his expression.

With the power given by Suzaku, he turned the tide in a desperate situation and supported the people in danger.

And this feeling is really addictive.

Huo Jixing looked up at Luoxue and wanted to laugh, but suddenly felt a pain in his throat and was extremely thirsty.

Gu Gu! Gu Gu! Gu Gu!

At the same time, there was a low growl in his stomach, and there was bitterness in his stomach.

It's hunger and thirst that's attacking!

An extremely strong sense of hunger and thirst suddenly appeared, attacking Huo Jixing's nerves.

"So hungry! So thirsty!"

Huo Jixing stretched out his left hand tremblingly, wanting to touch something.

But that strong sense of hunger and thirst seemed to turn into a boundless wave, overwhelmingly attacking Huo Jixing's weak nerves, forcing him to bend down and arch up.

The fire of Nanli that filled the body had been extinguished at some point, with only a few sparks swaying.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Huo Jixing's expression changed, and there was a little bit of blood in his dark eyes.

Under the influence of a wave of hunger, he began to look around, looking for something, until he saw the broken and burned corpses, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"No, no!"

The remaining reason forced him to look away, but the hunger was eating away at him little by little, twisting his pale face with the intention of pulling him into the bottomless abyss.

Suddenly!

Huo Jixing raised his sword and ran forward, fell on the snow, and crawled towards the charred corpse of the giant wolf.

He used the curved sword blade to laboriously cut open the belly of the giant wolf, and inside was half black and half red flesh.

Huo Jixing didn't care whether it was raw or cooked. Under the pressure of hunger and thirst, he began to bite and eat the flesh, swallowing it directly into his stomach without chewing and digesting it.

Perhaps because he ate too quickly, some of the flesh was mixed with snowflakes and soil and entered his mouth together.

But Huo Jixing now had only one thought.

Fill his stomach!

Resolve hunger and thirst!

The falling snow covered the mountains.

The lonely cold wind blew across the red and white battlefield.

Huhu! Huhu! Huhu!

Huo Jixing lay on the snow, panting constantly, his face and mouth were stained with flesh fragments, and the belly of the giant wolf in front of him had mostly disappeared, and the internal organs and organs were faintly visible.

Gradually, he began to regain his sanity, and a glow appeared in his dark eyes.

"What on earth is going on?" Huo Jixing was confused and afraid.

Although the feeling of hunger still existed, he could barely suppress it, unlike just now, when it almost made him lose his mind.

"Is this... my hand?"

Huo Jixing just wanted to get up, but when he used his arms, he saw the shriveled hands that seemed to have lost flesh and blood.

The skin was loose and the bones were protruding.

In the grooves that once covered the palms, there was no mud and ice residue anymore, only the flesh and blood that was attached to the bones.

Huo Jixing's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head hurriedly.

It was not until this time that he realized that the damaged composite armor no longer fit him. The tough body that had been trained seemed to be dehydrated, shriveled and ugly, with all uneven bones.

"Damn it!" Huo Jixing cursed in a low voice, vaguely understanding the reason.

As he staggered to his feet, he grabbed a ball of snow and stuffed it into his mouth to dilute the strong fishy taste in his mouth.

"Xing!"

Just as Huo Jixing was observing the battlefield, a familiar shout rang in his ears.

Looking back, he saw Dewitt and Moore, who were walking over with each other, with the bodies of the looters lying around them.

"It seems that victory belongs to Noxus!" Huo Jixing thought secretly, and a touch of joy rose in his heart, but when he looked into the eyes of Dewitt and Moore, his expression paused.

Fear? Afraid? And

Envy and desire? !

Huo Jixing saw different changes in their eyes and expressions, and even when they were close to him, they stopped and were unwilling to move forward.

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and Huo Jixing frowned slightly.

He looked down at the corpses of the looters around him, the traces of burning, and the charred and broken giant wolf corpse, as if he had realized something.

"Is there a difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people?"

"Or are they afraid of extraordinary power?"

Huo Jixing's thoughts surged, and he vaguely remembered an article about the conflict on the Valoran continent that he had read in his previous life.

It has been too long, and he can't remember the details. It seems to be related to the Rune War and many extraordinary powers.

It said that even after thousands of years, the impact and damage brought by the Rune War are still circulating in the Valoran continent, telling the world the horror of runes and magic.

The Noxus Empire was born on this chaotic land where the Rune War was most deeply affected, which caused the empire to lack resources and had to establish a country through war.

And within the empire.

The extraordinary represents another class, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people and soldiers.

"Congratulations!"

In the snow behind him, the centurion Eric walked over, patted Huo Jixing on the shoulder, and said softly.

Huo Jixing turned around and looked at Eric, who was inconvenient to move and seriously injured.

The tall body, like a fierce tiger, was covered with scars, and the wild eyes could not hide the sadness, but the ferocious head in his left hand silently told the glory of blood.

"Awakening in the wild, a rare scene!"

Eric looked at Huo Jixing in front of him, and a trace of envy rose in the depths of his eyes.

He knew more about the empire's desire for extraordinary power than the others, and thought about what kind of changes Huo Jixing would have after returning to the camp.

Not only status, but also power and strength, and even if it is strong enough, the title of nobility is not a luxury.

"The price of all this is not small!"

Eric saw Huo Jixing's pale and dry face, and his body like a dry bone, and realized the erosion of the body by extraordinary power.

"But we won, didn't we?"

Huo Jixing seemed to see through Eric's inner thoughts, raised the curved long sword in his hand, pointed to the many corpses in the snow, and said with a smile.

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

Eric was shocked at first, then laughed and roared.

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

On the other side, Devitt and Moore also walked over slowly, roaring at the same time, venting their inner emotions and celebrating this hard-won victory.

In the red and white snow.

After a short rest, the remaining few people harvested the spoils in the bloody battlefield and continued their journey back to the Noxus camp along the rugged mountain road.
