Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin’s expression remained cold at the sight of the Vermilion Bird Princess’ miserable expression.
He was not going to have sympathy for her. He had entered this arena so that he could walk out of it as the last one alive! Furthermore, he had to become the champion and go find that guardian of the Sun Tree on the top three levels!
An Lin gripped onto the Vermilion Bird Princess’ leg and was just about to smack her into the ground like a towel again.
However, an orange light suddenly flashed past the Vermilion Bird Princess’ bright eyes as her other leg whipped through the air toward An Lin’s arm.
A sharp, orange light appeared at the tip of the high heel and struck with unerring accuracy on a pressure point on An Lin’s arm.
The extreme sharpness of the orange light had even torn a few tiny cracks into the s.p.a.ce around the high heel.
Orange light exploded, and An Lin’s arm finally trembled with an extremely numb sensation.
The Vermilion Bird Princess took advantage of this opportunity to retract her leg from An Lin’s hand before instantly retreating to over a kilometer away from him.
“What terrifying defenses! If that were a normal Return to Void Stage mighty figure, their entire arm would have been snapped off by that kick if they took it without setting up any defensive measures! But you don’t even have a wound on your arm!”
The Vermilion Bird Princess’ expression became extremely grave as a rainbow light suddenly flashed through her bright eyes. At the same time, lines of rainbow light appeared on her intricate cheeks.
Boom!
An extremely fearsome aura erupted!
The frightening might of her aura sent shockwaves surging in all directions. Without the spell formation around the battle platform, many of the weaker spectators would’ve instantly been reduced to dust by those shockwaves alone!
“It’s here! The Vermilion Bird Princess’ second form!” a spectator yelled.
“The Vermilion Bird Princess used her second form in a battle ten years ago to slay an immortal beast at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage! It was also that battle that cemented her place in our hearts as the eleventh Sun Tree War G.o.d!”
“Who would have thought that Lin An could force the Vermilion Bird Princess to go into her second form.”
“Lin An can die with no regrets now. To be able to fight with the Vermilion Bird Princess’ second form, his feats would undoubtedly spread throughout the entire Southern Heavenly Wing Nation!”
“It’s just a pity that the powerful Fist G.o.d Lin An would fall here.”
Many of the spectators were already expressing their condolences to An Lin.
However, An Lin was quite calm and indifferent. Actually, he was a little excited.
The Vermilion Bird Princess had finally unleashed her full power.
This was starting to shape up to become a real final showdown!
The Vermilion Bird Princess was the most powerful Soul Formation Stage cultivator he had ever seen, and her control over her own power was absolutely astonis.h.i.+ng. If it weren’t for the fact that he had so many hacks, he wouldn’t be so sure that he could defeat her.
The two of them faced off against each other.
“My little princess, you look like a half-drowned cat!” An Lin chuckled.
The Vermilion Bird Princess gritted her teeth as she glowered at An Lin with a super ferocious expression.
“Very good, An Lin. You have successfully infuriated me. I’m going to rip you to shreds!”
She abruptly launched herself toward An Lin as she spoke and reached him in the blink of an eye before aiming a kick right between his legs!
“What a brutal technique!” An Lin had already used his Divine Inspection Technique and evaded the high heel with orange light s.h.i.+ning from it before launching a punch.
The Vermilion Bird Princess evaded An Lin’s fist at terrifying speed, and the red streamer on her right arm burst forth to wrap around An Lin’s arm.
“I’ve got you now!” A hateful expression appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess, and a crimson light flashed in her eyes as she looked at the arm that had rammed her into the ground repeatedly. “I’ll start by taking this arm!”
The red streamer began to glow with a brilliant light, and An Lin could feel an extremely scorching type of energy coming from it.
Boom!
An energy with an insanely high temperature erupted forth from the red streamer as a crimson pillar of flames roared into the sky before erupting outward, twisting the air in the arena and melting through the ground in a radius of over a kilometer.
Everything was incinerated by the waves of flames!
On the spectator stands, Xue Zhantian stared blankly at this scene. “What a terrifying attack. Her flames were truly enough to incinerate heaven and earth. Even a Return to Void Stage mighty figure would perish to that!”
A hint of loss appeared on the yellow cow’s face. “Sigh, what a pity that Brother An Lin’s life would be cut short here.”
Many of the spectators were staring unblinkingly at the center of the battle.
There, the flames slowly dissipated.
Two figures began to appear.
“He didn’t die! An Lin didn’t die!”
“My G.o.d! He took the Vermilion Bird Princess’ attack and emerged unscathed!”
All of the spectators let loose cries of surprise.
An expression of astonishment appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess’ face, and she discovered that half of her red streamer had been burned away.
An Lin’s figure slowly began to reveal itself. He wore a suit of armor constructed from four Divine Flames, and he stood like a monarch of all flames without so much as a single scratch on his body.
“Half-drowned cat, you want to play fire with me? You’re ten thousand years too early for that!”
He pointed a finger at the sky, and crimson wings of flames fell from the sky and materialized into an arrow.
Wings of True Fire First Stage, Crimson G.o.d Arrow!
The feathers of the Crimson G.o.d Arrow had been infused with white Holy Vermilion Flames, and the two combined to create an arrow that exuded monstrous temperatures.
The hair on the back of the Vermilion Bird Princess’ neck stood on end, and she tried to unleash her movement techniques to evade the attack. However, right at this moment, an inky-black abyss suddenly appeared underfoot and gravity drastically multiplied as her bones creaked from the increased gravitational force.
Her body faltered all of a sudden.
Abyssal Gravity Technique!
An Lin controlled the darkness with one hand as he pointed to the Vermilion Bird Princess with the other hand.
The Crimson G.o.d Arrow flew through the air in a scorching trajectory while aiming directly for her chest.
The Vermilion Bird Princess’ golden streamer created a barrier before her, and the Crimson G.o.d Arrow struck the barrier, upon which a sharp screeching sound erupted.
In the end, the white Holy Flames within the arrow completely melted the golden streamer!
“Move!” a crisp cry sounded.
The blue streamer wrapped itself around the Vermilion Bird Princess’ ankles and allowed her to escape the abyssal gravitational force in the nick of time. She immediately moved to the side, but the arrow was still able to puncture her shoulder.
A hole had appeared in her colorful dress, and a charred hole had been burned into her shoulder. She immediately flew back in retreat, but An Lin refused to give her any respite as he hurtled after her.
All of the spectators were shocked that the Vermilion Bird Princess got injured even though she was already in her second form.
The battle was so intense that they had forgotten how to speak.
There were only a few spectators who couldn’t help but wonder why Fist G.o.d Lin An, who specialized in fist techniques, was so proficient at using flames.
But no one was going to reply to them as they were all surveying the battle with bated breath.
The Vermilion Bird Princess harrumphed lightly at the sight of the oncoming An Lin, and the purple streamer behind her suddenly glowed brightly before exploding to form a purple mist.
Illusionary mist!
Even a Return to Void Stage mighty figure would be completely bewitched by such a high-grade illusionary mist, thereby allowing her to pick them off with ease!
A faint smile appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess’ lips, and she was just about to go in for the kill when a tranquil voice sounded from behind her.
“This illusionary mist isn’t bad. However, you might not believe this but…”
The Vermilion Bird Princess suddenly felt excruciating pain. It was as if her body were being torn apart, and an inky-black sword pierced through her heart, sending blood gus.h.i.+ng into the air.
“The power of my consciousness is sufficient to steamroll the vast majority of Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
“I can stand up to any illusionary realm with ease!”
A triumphant smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he stood behind the Vermilion Bird Princess.
“Goodbye, half-drowned cat.”
