   He walked towards Eve, his speed gradually increased, from walking to running, and finally turned into a dark red meteor that tore the earth apart! Wherever it passes, it leaves a straight path that is completely "destroyed and shattered"! He didn't display any fancy abilities, only the purest and most primitive one that condensed all the rage and murderous intent - charge! The giant sword was dragged behind him, and the tip of the sword scratched the ground, leaving a bottomless ravine. Dark red light gathered on the sword, getting brighter and brighter, as if a world-destroying evil dragon had awakened and opened its fangs. At this moment, he is no longer "Red Flame" Zhu Ming, he is destruction itself, the rushing and unstoppable end! Facing this pure, crushing charge of destruction, Eve, whose strength was exhausted and her body was on the verge of disintegration, showed an almost desperate look for the first time in her eyes. She tried to lift the staff, trying to gather a ray of light again, but the top of the staff only flickered a few times before it completely dimmed. She could only watch helplessly as the dark red death meteor, with the momentum of annihilating everything, crashed towards her! "Ding——!" A clear but heart-stopping sound shook the ruins. Zhu Ming's giant sword, which contained the power of annihilation, slashed hard at Eve's head, but was firmly blocked by a layer of golden light that suddenly lit up. The light flows and the runes appear, absorbing and resolving the devastating impact. Luo Hao, who controlled Eve's body, was even oppressed by the terrifying aura so close at hand that he instinctively raised his arms to block. The expected death did not come, and he looked at the seemingly weak but indestructible light shield in shock. "It's 'Death Blessing'!" Bai Zhenghu's voice rang in his consciousness in time, with the urgency of surviving a disaster, "Eve's life-saving ability can absolutely withstand a fatal attack!" In mid-air, Zhu Ming was bounced away by the reaction force of the light shield. There was no unexpected expression on his face, only a bottomless coldness. He didn't even pause for a moment, and took advantage of the momentum to soar into the sky, hovering under the darkest sky before dawn. He raised one arm high, with his fingers spread out and his palm facing the sky. In an instant, purer and more violent red energy surged out of his body crazily, converging on his palm like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea! The energy was rapidly compressed and condensed, turning into an extremely blazing fiery red sphere - its radiance was so powerful that it was like a miniature sun caught in his hands, reflecting the surrounding ruins and haze into a bloody red color! "It's his special move - 'Annihilation'!" In the pit, Eve's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and Luo Hao couldn't help but growl, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice. He asked eagerly in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Ou Mingyue! Can you block your 'Holy Light Full Countermeasure'?!" "This body has reached its limit!" Ou Mingyue's voice was filled with desperate panic, "Forcibly activating the power beyond the critical point, we will not be able to suppress the 'that' in the body!" "That is better than being blasted into dregs now!" Luo Hao's will roared, overwhelming all hesitation. The next moment, Eve, whose body surface was covered with cracks and fine lines like porcelain, raised her fingers to the sky resolutely! A golden beam of light that was far more pure and solid than any before suddenly fell down, completely covering her - it was exactly what Ou Mingyue had devoted all her strength to - [Holy Light·Full Countermeasure]! But that's not enough! Luo Hao's fighting instinct drove him, and almost at the same time, another clear glow bloomed from the inside out - Wen Ru's [Baptism of Holy Light]* was blessed again! The senses are magnified to the limit, and the nearly exhausted energy in the body seems to be injected into a new source. Although there is still the danger of body collapse, the power does surge in an instant! The double holy light overlapped, and the golden flames around Eve soared into the sky. It was no longer in the form of an attack, but turned into a thick, mountain-like golden barrier, standing between her and the "red sun" in the sky. Behind the barrier, there is Eve's determined eyes and the body that is still falling apart but standing tenaciously. And above the barrier is Zhu Ming's indifferent gaze, and the wheel in his hand that is about to decide life and death - [The Day of Annihilation] After a moment of confrontation, Annihilation overturned, and the fireball flew towards Eve at an extremely fast speed. As soon as it touched the protective cover of the golden flame, the collision of the two energies caused an unparalleled explosion. The huge energy competed with each other and instantly tore the space. The power of the empty space was like a torn canvas, cracking a huge hole, revealing the dark and inexplicable space inside. Just after the contact, Eve already knew clearly that she couldn't resist at all, and despair surged into her heart like a tide, drowning her again. The brief energy confrontation did not last long. Zhu Ming's fireball move called annihilation tore apart Eve's golden flame protective cover with overwhelming force. The defense line constructed by the golden holy light only supported the moment in the face of this absolute "annihilation". Ou Mingyue's "Holy Light - Total Countermeasure", which she used with all her strength, failed to deflect even one point of power, and was shattered inch by inch by the devouring energy. The fireball hit Eve's body without any hindrance. "Boom!!!!" The red light of destruction swept across all directions, completely engulfing the girl's figure. After a series of explosions, the light and dust gradually dissipated. There was only a huge crater left on the ground, like a meteorite impact. A green light flickered in the deep pit, but the scene inside the pit was terrible. Most of Eve's body had been turned into charcoal, leaving only half of her head and broken upper body, like a torn doll. Although the green light from Su Jing's extreme healing was doing its best to repair her body, her flesh, flesh and bones were struggling to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye. But the trauma was too great. No matter how powerful Su Jing was, she could not immediately recover from the trauma she suffered at this moment. Zhu Ming had reached the top of the pit at this moment, and his cold gaze shot out a chill called despair, making the nine consciousnesses in Eve's body in the pit feel like they had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave. The next moment, Zhu Ming waved the giant sword in his hand and rushed straight towards Eve. His figure was like a meteor burning with red flames, hitting the deep pit where Eve was. Zhu Ming rushed to Eve and hit her on the head, driving her head into the ground with one blow. He held up the giant sword with his other hand, the dark red tip of the sword flowing with the final light, aiming at the weakly beating heart in her chest. At this moment, a cry with a cry that was so familiar that it made Zhu Ming's soul tremble, penetrated the dead silence of the battlefield, and also penetrated his ice-like killing intent, clearly hitting his ears: "A Ming! No--!" Nnx
