Blue Phoenix Chapter 5 - Lynx

The lynx quickly retreated as though it was capable of feeling the danger which the blue and yellow flames contained. Both flames radiated an intense energy, an energy which promised to take the lives of whomever they touched, a promise to devour anything until only ashes remained.

Seeing how the lynx retreated, Hui Yue instantly understood that the beast in front of him was not just a beast. It was not a creature which lived purely on instincts. Instead, it was a beast which had an intelligence equal to that of man. Its cat-like eyes were with knowledge.

Seeing this, Hui Yue became even more vigilant as he held the two flames, one in each hand. He then threw them into the air, and both of them hovered behind the body. Smaller fireballs were produced from within, and they were starting to swirl around Hui Yue’s body. As time went by more and more fire orbs were created, and the lynx retreated further and further away. Looking at Hui Yue, the lynx sneered at him before it turned around to leave. However, Hui Yue refused to let it go so easily and threw a bigger than normal fire orb towards the lynx. It seemed to move as fast as light, and quickly a ring of fire encompassed the two blocking the escape of the lynx. It trapped both man and beast inside; no one could escape before one, or the other had been killed.

Seeing this the lynx no longer attempted to escape; instead, it decided to fight. Turning around its eyes gleamed in the flames, its fur standing on end and it’s mouth opened in a sneer. The lynx understood that fighting at a distance was not a good idea considering that the fire orbs that the man controlled were best for long range combat. The lynx decided to fight close up, but every time it threw itself forwards, Hui Yue would dodge to the side or backward. Hui Yue did everything in his power not to fight close up as he understood that the lynx’s claws could not be allowed to touch him.

Every time the large lynx charged forward, Hui Yue felt a chill run down his spine along with cold sweat on his forehead.
