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 astonishment.

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: Suzaku]!" Huo Jixing realized.

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

Suzaku, one of the four spirits of the sky.

How could the Nanli Fire given by it only allow him to improve his physical fitness and not be afraid 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 doesn't 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.

With a slight eyebrow raised, 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.

"It's gone!"

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 power 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.

in between.

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.

Rumble!
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 directly. The pyrotechnic sword blade he held tightly in his hand rotated with the force, like a crimson half-moon, rising from the sky. come down.

Ow!

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 caused by the flames burning the fur.

At last……

All sounds stopped within the fire of Nanli.

Pfft!Pfft!
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 scorching, 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 way!"

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, threw himself on the snow, and crawled towards the charred corpse of the giant wolf.He used a curved sword blade to painstakingly cut open the giant wolf's abdomen. Inside was half black and half red flesh.

Huo Jixing didn't care whether it was raw or cooked. Forced by hunger and thirst, he began to bite into it, devouring the flesh and blood. He didn't even chew it, but swallowed it directly into his belly for digestion.

Perhaps because he ate too quickly, some of the flesh and blood were mixed with snowflakes and soil in his mouth.

But Huo Jixing only has one thought left now.
Fill the stomach!

Satisfy hunger and thirst!

Falling snow covers the mountains.

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

Hoo hoo!Hoo hoo!Hoo hoo!

Huo Jixing lay on the snow, panting non-stop, his face and corners of his mouth stained with fragments of flesh and blood. Most of the giant wolf's abdomen in front of him had disappeared, and its internal organs and organs were faintly visible.

Gradually, he began to regain his senses, and his dark eyes glowed.

"What on earth is going on?" Huo Jixing felt doubt and fear in his heart.

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

"Is this... my hand?"

Huo Jixing was about to get up, but when he used his arms, he saw the withered hands that seemed to have lost all flesh and blood.

The skin is loose and the bones are prominent.

In the grooves that were once covered with palms, there is no longer muddy color and ice residue, only traces of flesh and blood sticking to the bones can be seen.

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

It was only then that he discovered that the damaged composite armor no longer fit him, and his well-trained body seemed to be dehydrated, shriveled and ugly, full of uneven bones.

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

When he staggered up, he grabbed a ball of snow and stuffed it into his mouth to dilute the strong fishy smell in his mouth.

"star!"

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

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

"It seems that victory belongs to Noxus!" Huo Jixing thought secretly, feeling happy in his heart, but when he looked into the eyes of DeWitt and Moore, his expression paused.

fear?Fear?besides
Envy and desire? !

Huo Jixing saw different mood changes in their eyes and expressions. Even when they approached him, they stopped and refused to step 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 mangled corpse of the giant wolf, and seemed to have some realization.

"Is there any difference between extraordinary beings and ordinary people?"

"Or are they afraid of extraordinary power?"

Huo Jixing's thoughts surged, and he vaguely recalled an article he had read in his previous life about the disputes in Valoran.

It took too long, and he couldn't remember the details. It seemed to be related to rune wars and many extraordinary powers.

It said that even though thousands of years have passed, the impact and damage caused by the Rune War is still spread in the continent of Valoran, informing the world of the terror of runes and magic.

The Noxus Empire was born on this chaotic land where the Rune War had the greatest impact. As a result, the empire was starved of resources and had to build the country through war.

And within the empire.

Extraordinary represents another class, far beyond the reach of ordinary people and soldiers.

"Congratulations!"

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

Huo Jixing turned around and looked at Eric, who was unable to move and suffered severe injuries.

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

"Awakening in the wild, a rare scene!"

Eric looked at Huo Jixing in front of him, a hint of envy rising deep in his eyes.

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

Not only status, but also power and strength. If you are strong enough, a noble title is not a luxury.

"The price of all this is not small!"

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

"But we won, didn't we?"

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

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

Eric looked shocked at first, then laughed and roared.

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

"Victory belongs to Noxus!"

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

In the red and white snow.

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