Chapter 1285: Battling Holy Angel Michael
An expression of astonishment appeared on Xuanyuan Cheng’s face upon hearing this voice.
He turned around to discover an extremely familiar man running toward him.
“An Lin, why are you here…” Xuanyuan Cheng’s voice began to tremble.
He then immediately exclaimed, “Run away! The opposition is very powerful, and we need to conserve our forces!”
“Run away? That’s not part of my vocabulary!” A determined smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “Let’s kill these guys!”
A hint of excitement appeared on s.h.i.+rley’s face, and she extended an animated greeting. “Hey, An Lin, we meet again.”
An Lin had also seen the beautiful angel flying in the sky. “Seeing as we’re friends, if you get out here right now, I can spare you and let you go.”
“Heh, seeing as we’re friends? None of that matters right now! The heavenly peaches are the most important things.” A dazzling light erupted from s.h.i.+rley’s wings. As she extended her fair arms in an embracing motion, a white circle of light instantly expanded outward for over three hundred meters, thus encompa.s.sing both An Lin and Xuanyuan Cheng within.
“Holy Light Cage!”
s.h.i.+rley was playing her support role to perfection as she constructed a cage to try and trap both An Lin and Xuanyuan Cheng at once.
“Nice,” Michael praised with a faint smile on his face.
He then turned to An Lin and waved a hand through the air. The countless light swords behind him then fell like a meteor shower upon An Lin.
An Lin’s heart jolted upon seeing this. He could feel an extremely dangerous aura from those light swords, as if each and every one of them was capable of slaying that double-headed dragon from earlier!
He immediately unleashed his Evading Turtle technique.
Boom boom boom…
The earth was torn apart by sword intent, and An Lin’s body was inundated by light swords.
“An Lin!” Xuanyuan Cheng could sense just how terrifying that storm of swords was, and he let loose a cry of alarm.
Michael looked on with a tranquil expression at the settling dust and debris. “An Lin, you are undoubtedly the number one prodigy among the younger generation. However, there are many more powerful beings in this world than you can imagine. For example, in my eyes, you are still someone I can easily crush.”
A vibrant smile appeared on s.h.i.+rley’s face. “Hehe, An Lin, you used that little queen as a hack during the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers, and now I’m using our Holy Angel as a hack to return the favor. What goes around comes around I guess. Are you surprised?”
Michael of the Garden of Eden was no ordinary Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure. He was one of the most powerful Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in this world, and his power was comparable to the leader of the five Heavenly Court emperors, the Celestial Thearch!
From a power-level perspective and before entering the Dao Observation s.p.a.ce, he was one of the most powerful Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures among the twelve gathered at the banquet.
So what if his strength was being restricted to the tenth-stage Dao Body?
Crus.h.i.+ng cultivators of the equivalent or superior cultivation bases had always been his forte!
In the Heavenly Palace, many mighty figures were spectating Michael’s battle.
Even the Four Nine Immortal Sect cultivators were becoming nervous.
When the dust settled, An Lin’s body reappeared.
To everyone’s surprise, what they saw wasn’t a golden protective light around his body, but the light of a s.h.i.+ny, green turtle sh.e.l.l instead!
There were countless cracks on the semi-transparent turtle sh.e.l.l, but it still remained intact.
An Lin had blocked Michael’s attack with his own power!
“You blocked that?” Michael’s expression s.h.i.+fted slightly to one of surprise.
“You can crush me easily? Let’s see if you can crush my turtle sh.e.l.l!” An Lin harrumphed coldly before drawing his Evil-Slaying Sword and slas.h.i.+ng down upon Michael.
A black crescent sword projection soared into the heavens.
Michael spread his six wings and evaded An Lin’s sword strike through the use of extremely agile movement techniques.
“Big Brother Cheng, can you still fight?” An Lin spread open his Wings of Wind as he inquired.
“Yes!” Xuanyuan Cheng took a deep breath. A dazzling light erupted from the bronze ancient sword in his hand as a serene, yet destructive sword intent burst forth from his body.
“That’s great, let’s eliminate the top dog from the Garden of Eden!”
An Lin’s aura soared explosively, and he spread open his wings to fly into the sky.
The man he was going to face was quite possibly the most powerful being within this s.p.a.ce, so he could not afford to be complacent in the slightest.
Wind Sword!
Streams of white wind encircled around his Evil-Slaying Sword, and his speed was enhanced explosively.
s.h.i.+rley was just about to unleash an ensnaring spell technique when she suddenly found that she had lost sight of An Lin.
“So fast!” Her expression s.h.i.+fted drastically.
In the next instant, an extreme sense of danger welled up in her heart.
A black sword blade tore through the air in a lethal trajectory.
When s.h.i.+rley finally became aware of her situation, she could no longer dodge that strike!
Bam!
A violent clash sounded.
A figure had appeared right in the nick of time to block the Evil-Slaying Sword with a light sword of his own.
“Michael…” s.h.i.+rley looked on with reverence at the man standing before her.
An Lin’s Six Strikes of the War G.o.d was blocked by the holy light sword Michael had materialized.
“Your swordsmans.h.i.+p is not bad,” Michael praised.
Before An Lin had a chance to unleash another attack, golden rings suddenly began to appear around Michael’s wrists.
“Holy Ring Bind,” Michael spoke in an indifferent voice.
An extremely pure holy light erupted from each of the golden rings, and two projections of golden rings appeared, one in the sky and one on the ground, both of which were turning in an anti-clockwise direction with a vastly powerful holy light s.h.i.+ning in between.
Boundless binding force locked onto An Lin’s entire body in that instant.
Everything was bound within the s.p.a.ce encompa.s.sed by the holy light!
“This is the binding divine technique Holy Angel Michael used to imprison the True Demon Tribe! After unleas.h.i.+ng this technique, it is as if our G.o.d has descended in person to subdue all living beings. I didn’t think that Holy Angel Michael would still be capable of using this even at just tenth-stage Dao Body.” Excitement and reverence glowed in s.h.i.+rley’s eyes upon seeing this.
Michael was both handsome and powerful, so he naturally had a lot of fangirls within the Light Wing Clan.
“The Holy Ring Bind I can unleash now is less than one in ten thousand of its usual potency, but it can still bind all living beings below the Soul Formation Stage!” Michael was very confident.
An Lin was bound by the holy light, and he felt as if his entire body was being crushed. It was extremely difficult for him to even take a single step, so he was completely at Michael’s mercy in his current state.
“An Lin, you have lost.”
Michael flew toward An Lin while wielding his light sword.
All of a sudden, he turned around and unleashed a defensive technique.
Boom!
A violent explosion transformed the s.p.a.ce around him into a vacuum, and devastating shockwaves swept forth for over a kilometer!
Destructive power soared into the sky, shattering the two golden rings in the process.
The Holy Ring Bind could bind an enemy within, but it had no effect on enemies outside of the rings. Hence, Xuanyuan Cheng had ample preparation time.
That explosion was extremely powerful and had used up almost all of Xuanyuan Cheng’s strength.
The shockwaves swept forth with unstoppable force, crus.h.i.+ng the golden rings before engulfing An Lin and Michael.
“An Lin, take this opportunity!” Xuanyuan Cheng roared.
Even though this explosion did not differentiate between friend and foe, he knew that no one’s skin could be thicker than An Lin’s at the tenth-stage Dao Body!
Sure enough, a black shadow tore through the waves of flames and instantly appeared in front of s.h.i.+rley before piercing through s.h.i.+rley’s chest.
Eliminate the support first!
Splat!
“How merciless…” A wry smile appeared on s.h.i.+rley’s face as blood trickled from the corners of her lips.
A smile also appeared on An Lin’s face. “Get out of here, and watch how I defeat Michael!”
He withdrew his sword blade, and blood splattered through the air.
A golden protective light enshrouded her entire body before a spatial power teleported her out of the Dao Observation s.p.a.ce.
With a smile on his face, An Lin turned toward the man enshrouded in holy light. “Just one left.”
