I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 611 168: The Final Struggle (4,000 Words)

"This is... Melting Furnace Style!"

Looking at Shen Ye, completely enveloped in flames, Vitinya on the spectator stands gripped the railing tightly, with some concern for Yun You's safety in her heart.

"You know this move?"

Tang Jin turned his head and casually asked, "It seems quite powerful indeed, no weaker than our ultimate skills."

"Naturally."

Vitinya nodded gently and explained, "Three years ago, when I first met brother Shen Ye, he single-handedly stormed into the lair of his mortal enemy."

"At that time, he was only a Tier Three Death God, far from being known as a 'Demigod', while his opponent was an old guard Death God of Nest City No. 3, known as Jiang Changfeng, the city's top mercenary, nicknamed 'Yellow River Roar'."

Upon hearing this name, Tang Jin was slightly taken aback, instinctively saying, "Jiang Changfeng? I know of this person; several decades ago, he was already Tier Four, with hopes of glimpsing Tier Five, but due to old injuries from war, he could only remain at Tier Four. Nonetheless, he's quite formidable; even if not our opponent, he'd surely rank among the standout Tier Four Death Gods."

"That's right."

Vitinya responded, softly stating, "But this person died at the hands of brother Shen Ye, and the ultimate skill he used at the time was this 'Melting Furnace Style'."

"I must say, Shen Ye is truly a genius."

"In our era, the Regulator Sequence was always synonymous with 'weakness', and Death Gods controlling water and fire were further deemed without potential to become strong, no matter how high their tier; they were never the match of their peers. Back then, if a Death God awakened the Regulator Sequence, they were labeled as unpromising and useless."

"But brother Shen Ye is different."

Vitinya pointed to Shen Ye on the duel arena, tangled with Yun You.

"Upon gaining the Regulator Sequence, brother Shen refused to be discouraged, dedicating himself to studying this sequence and persistently striving to fully integrate his blood and flesh with the sequence."

"Eventually, he astonishingly succeeded."

"He filled every cell in his body with flames, making his blood a carrier for fire, enabling him to freely utilize and control it."

"One could say, he became the flame itself."

"So, in that battle three years ago, even though Jiang Changfeng severed brother Shen's head and shattered his spine, he couldn't completely claim Shen's life... because after activating Melting Furnace Style, his body entirely fused with flames. Fire could serve as his blood, cells, nerves... even his soul. As long as the fire isn't extinguished, he would never die, fighting endlessly."

Tang Jin squinted his eyes and nodded.

"It's certainly an exceptional ultimate skill, but no matter how strong the technique is, it has flaws, doesn't it?"

Vitinya nodded slightly.

"Naturally, there's no flawless technique in the world, and Melting Furnace Style is no exception."

"Although brother Shen can use strong control to mitigate the flame's harm to himself and allow his body cells to function briefly, fire is inherently damaging to any form of life and material structure."

"When brother Shen's spiritual power can no longer support maintaining Melting Furnace Style, the flame, which initially served as 'adhesive', will reverse and become corrosive acid devouring his body, and the injuries he sustained will claim his life shortly."

Tang Jin rubbed his chin, casually saying, "The side effects are quite significant; however, it's understandable given the powerful effects, the strong side effects are expected."

"And so, all junior sister has to do is find a way to drag on until Melting Furnace Style can no longer be sustained, and brother Shen will fall on his own, right?"

"It's not that simple..."

Vitinya chuckled bitterly, shaking his head.

"When Melting Furnace Style is active, brother Shen almost possesses infinite stamina and flame energy, aside from the cooldown time of releasing techniques, he faces virtually no limits, akin to a bombarding turret that is difficult to outlast in this phase. Even you and I aren't entirely confident; evasive maneuvers are paramount."

"As for junior sister? She seems to have some conflict with brother Shen, so did you notice? She outright refuses to flee; she aims to fight brother Shen head-on to the death."

Tang Jin didn't refute this remark.

Since Shen Ye activated Melting Furnace Style, Yun You no longer employed previous methods of concealing her presence but instead fought with Shen Ye head-on.

Even if her body was burned in multiple places, even with her blade-wielding arm severely swollen, she never retreated even half a step.

Vitinya was right; to Yun You, Shen Ye was a mental knot, so she must openly defeat Shen Ye thoroughly, refusing to choose evasion or escape.

Thus, the outcome becomes more uncertain.

"It doesn't matter; in fact, I think you should be happy."

Tang Jin shrugged, still indifferent.

"I still stand by my words; if junior sister loses, you won't have to face tragic conflict with your sect; if she wins, it'll cost her dearly, making it easy for you to win, isn't that good?"

"You..."

Vitinya was momentarily speechless, but truth be told, he couldn't argue...

Ultimately, he simply sighed and kept silent.
