Chapter 691: Turning The Tides
Feng Xuan could create more of the Three Thousand Illusions, of course, but they required essence. Twenty percent of her essence was restricted due to Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain, so how could she have extra capacity to create more?
“Are we the only ones left now?” Feng Xuan used a body combat technique to quickly swoop at Long Chen. If it was only Long Chen, she was not afraid at all. She was only apprehensive about the Sun Devouring Wolf’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.
“So what if it’s just us?” Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain surrounded them.
“If it’s just the two of us, you will die!” Feng Xuan’s expression was filled with malice!
Long Chen did not like her, and vice versa. She also knew that the Three Thousand Illusions could not trap Xiaolang for a long time, so her only solution was to kill Long Chen as soon as possible!
“Three Thousand Illusory Palms!” Countless illusory palms flew at Long Chen, bringing with them immense power. They were made of wind, and the wind roared as they flew at Long Chen!
The Three Thousand Palms was similar to the Three Thousand Illusions, but it was a direct attack, so it had a completely different effect!
“Willow Step …” Facing the dense palms, Long Chen confidently used Willow Step. He had mastered it to the fullest, even better than Feng Xuan when she used her own body combat technique. The countless palms could only blow Long Chen here and there, unable to touch him!
This brat’s ability to comprehend techniques is insane. Someone like that must not be left alive! There was a flash of brutal resolution in her eyes.Two more illusory blades appeared in her hands!
These blades were formed from fast-flowing wind. They were like real blades, but even more frightening. A whistling sound came from the blades, and countless blinding glints appeared on them along with flowing air.
When she gripped the blades, it looked like she was controlling countless blade glints!
“You dodged my Three Thousand Illusory Palms using a body combat technique; to be honest, I’m quite impressed. However, will you be able to dodge this too?” Feng Xuan let out a malicious laugh and swooped at Long Chen abruptly. She brought with her a powerful gust of power and then threw both the blades!
Rumble!
The two blades turned into countless wind blades!
The countless blades made up of wind flew countless times faster than the Three Thousand Illusory Palms. Previously, Long Chen could dodge using the Willow Step, but it was uncertain whether he could do the same in the face of endless wind blades!
“Wind Clan Technique, Typhoon Blades!”
Just like its name, these were blades made from typhoon winds!
The Wind clan is the ruler of the Heavenly Wind Empire, which is countless times stronger than the Divine Martial Empire. Even their combat techniques are frightening … Long Chen was privately shocked.
But he was not shaken!
Twenty percent of her essence was being suppressed by his Blood Devouring Domain, or her attacks would have been worse!
Long Chen’s mind raced. As he looked at the smug Feng Xuan, he suddenly had an idea.
He decided to use his old strategy, which had always succeeded so far. If he did not have this technique, he would not have been able to beat Zhao Danchen.
“Nine Heavens Strike!” His blade-like claws turned into nine dragons, which flew at the illusory blades! Vigorous crackling and popping sounds could be heard everywhere as his claws and the wind blades collided. His Nine Heavens Strike was fully capable of dispersing the Typhoon Blades, but their numbers far surpassed his imagination. By this point, Feng Xuan had completely stopped releasing the Three Thousand Illusions, focusing all her essence on forming Typhoon Blades!
This made her intentions clear. She wanted to kill Long Chen first, then deal with Xiaolang!
To her, Long Chen was a huge problem. If she killed him, she could finally be at peace!
This teenager gave her a terrifying feeling!
Countless wind blades flew at Long Chen endlessly. Every blade flew quickly, and within five breaths’ time, Long Chen used the Nine Heavens Strike to disperse all of them!
But Feng Xuan formed a large quantity of new wind blades and shot them at him again!
Having no choice, Long Chen released another powerful round of the Nine Heavens Strike. Within a short time, he released several rounds without holding back. If he did not, the blades would chop him up to pieces!
“I want to see how much essence you have to fight against me!” Feng Xuan laughed and released another round of Typhoon Blades! She divided her essence into three sections. Twenty percent was used to suppress the effects of the Blood Devouring Domain. Another portion was used to form the Three Thousand Illusions, while the rest was dedicated to kill Long Chen. Despite this, she still had a lot more essence left than Long Chen!
As he continuously released Nine Heavens Strikes, just as Feng Xuan expected, his essence was quickly depleting. Fifteen breaths later, he had used Nine Heavens Strikes five or six times. This intermediate King-tier technique was bringing him to the brink of exhaustion.
But the Typhoon Blades never stopped.
Feng Xuan saw that there was no chance for Long Chen to survive this!
She sensed that his energy was getting weaker, showing that he was on the brink of exhaustion!
“Die!” Feng Xuan chuckled coldly, and two more Typhoon Blades appeared in her hands. She had spent almost all the essence she could spare on him. Almost all the Three Thousand Illusions behind her had been killed by Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire by now.
I need to kill this brat first. As for the demonic wolf, I need to see what special talents it has. If I can tame it, I will be another level stronger. Then I’ll show the people in the Ancient Graveyard who’s boss! Feng Xuan thought excitedly to herself.
She never let her guard down in front of the exhausted Long Chen. She used a body combat technique to charge at him. Since the Typhoon Blades had not killed him, she had to add another attack!
However, what she did not see was that despite being exhausted, Long Chen did not look panicked. When he saw the last wave of Typhoon Blades, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile!
It was a terrible feeling to use up his essence. Using his remaining essence, he unleashed the Nine Heavens Strike for the last time, though it was not a complete one. Halfway through, his attack was defeated and, just as Feng Xuan hoped, Long Chen let out a cry of despair. Then he was drowned by the Typhoon Blades!
“You’re surely going to die now!” Feng Xuan grinned excitedly.
On the other side, Xiaolang’s gaze was dark. He knew Long Chen could come up with ideas on the spot and surely would not let Feng Xuan win so easily. However, he was not completely assured and was also furious. Xiaolang abandoned the remaining thousand illusory figures around him, ignoring the fact that their attacks were landing on his body, and pounced on Feng Xuan!
Xiaolang’s furious roar confirmed Feng Xuan’s deductions. She knew that Long Chen had to be chopped to pieces now. The Sun Devouring Wolf had ignored the Three Thousand Illusions and was attacking her. That was the best proof!
Another sign that proved Long Chen’s death was that the Blood Devouring Domain, which had been severely restricting her abilities, had disappeared. The space around them had regained visibility!
“Roar!”
The Sun Devouring Wolf was thirty meters away from Feng Xuan, expanding in size. He spat out all the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire he could control, and a black flood of fire rushed at her like a tsunami!
Feng Xuan felt a suffocating chill!
Everything the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire touched turned into hard, black ice. Even the illusions that were not completely covered also shattered!
Feng Xuan had never heard of such a frightening fire, but this solidified her determination to tame Xiaolang. But how would she know that a human soul was hidden in the Sun Devouring Wolf?
That’s scary! At this critical moment, all she could think of was to dodge it. Long Chen was dead, so it was time to focus on fighting Xiaolang. She refused to believe that Xiaolang could use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire an unlimited number of times!
Wind was naturally fast. Out of the nine great clans, the Wind clan was most famous for its speed. At least Feng Xuan was the fastest person in the Divine Martial Empire at the moment!
She quickly backed away to preserve her own life!
“Darling, do you think you can burn me?” The Nine Devils Ancestral Fire was not as fast as Feng Xuan, so she knew she would not be in danger. She covered her mouth and giggled with a flirtatious look in her eyes. She recalled that she had not ever had a taste of demonic beast before. When Xiaolang turned into his human form, he was quite handsome. If she could tame him, wouldn’t she live a good life?
Feng Xuan was so happy, she was going crazy!
That was when something unexpected happened!
Feng Xuan suddenly sensed a terrifying aura close by, but when she noticed it, the gray deathly Qi was already covering her body!
“What is that?” The terrifying, gray aura was as frightening as the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. Feng Xuan had confirmed there was nothing behind her, so how had this gray aura come about?
She was instantly filled with shock!
