Chapter 791 - Xiaolan’s Battle
The three Demonic Blood Beasts turned to An Lin and the others at once.
“Howl howl howl!” the six-armed ape roared as it rammed its fists into its own chest.
It then leaped into the air before pouncing toward An Lin and the others at a frightening speed.
Ao Niu turned pale with fright as it immediately unleashed its domain, from which over a hundred extremely powerful cow horns materialized before flying toward the six-armed ape.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
One cow horn after another flew like sabers and swords through the air in streaks of white light.
The six-armed ape extended its crimson fingernails, which were even longer than its fingers, before slashing its nails toward the oncoming cow horns.
Slash!
A crimson slash flashed through heaven and earth, from which the despairing wails of billions of demonic creatures erupted, before slicing through all the cow horns with ease and continuing on toward Ao Niu.
Ao Niu was paralyzed with fear upon seeing the crimson slash.
Never would it have thought that the Demonic Blood Beasts would be able to dispel that attack so easily. Just what kind of power was this?!
Everything had taken place far too quickly, to the point that Ao Niu did not have the time to dodge.
However, right when Ao Niu thought it was going to be sliced in half, a figure in a jade dress appeared before him as a longsword imbued with the power of dragon and phoenix was unsheathed.
Ding!
A lightning sword projection swept through the air as if a divine dragon had descended upon this world.
Ao Niu saw a flash of lightning fly across its eyes before the crimson slash that had plunged it into the depths of despair was shattered!
“So… So strong!” Ao Niu muttered as its eyes widened in shock.
It had thought that the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage human male was already unreasonably powerful.
But never would it have thought…
That the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage woman accompanying him would also be this outrageously powerful!
Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivators were so terrifying!!
Ao Niu felt as if its cultivation base at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage was fake!
The six-armed ape immediately switched targets to Xu Xiaolan as it slashed its claws toward her.
The sharp claws descended, and a sharp screech rang out through the air.
Xu Xiaolan turned over her Dragon Sparrow Sword, switching from the bright blue blade of lightning to the scorching blaze of flames as white Holy Vermilion Flames erupted forth!
Boom!
In that instant, incredibly scorching flames soared into the sky, transforming into an earth-shattering sword projection that collided with the six-armed ape’s claws with overwhelming might.
Monstrous flames incinerated everything around the six-armed ape and swept through its claws before slicing its body in half with a terrifying force.
Howl…!
The six-armed ape wailed with anguish as its body crashed to the ground.
The holy flames continued to incinerate its body, and in the end, its body finally evaporated under the scorching heat from the holy flames.
A female sword immortal in a jade dress stood like a proud holy maiden with holy flames revolving around her flawless body.
An Lin was dumbstruck.
Ao Niu was also dumbstruck. It had never seen such a formidable sword slash…
It suddenly felt as if there was a massive disparity in power between the two of them. If Xu Xiaolan wanted to kill it, it most likely wouldn’t even have a chance to scream before it died!
Xu Xiaolan turned to An Lin with a slightly displeased expression. “What are you just standing there for? Are you really that fond of being a shocked spectator?”
An Lin came to his senses before replying, “I was actually thinking about a question.”
“What question?” Xu Xiaolan asked.
“Why was the six-armed ape not oppressed by the power of the stars when it flew into the air?” An Lin was befuddled.
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
Xu Xiaolan took a deep breath before asking, “That’s a very valid question, but is this really the time to be thinking about questions like this?”
“It’s alright, you’re here with me. I trust in you to protect me.” The words slipped out of An Lin’s mouth, and only after he uttered the sentence did he feel that something seemed to be wrong.
A vibrant smile suddenly appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face as she stared at An Lin. “Your words really have triggered an urge in me to protect you…”
Upon witnessing the death of the six-armed ape, the other two Demonic Blood Beasts finally realized that their enemy was not going to be easily taken care of. Thus, the crimson wyrm and red flying tiger both roared as they pounced toward Xu Xiaolan at once!
The crimson wyrm opened its gruesome mouth, and energy gathered within as ripples proliferated outward, making the space around it to tremor and twist. The flying tiger waved its claws through the air as a wave of blood spanning an area of over a kilometer materialized before sweeping through heaven and earth.
Xu Xiaolan held her sword before her as her eyes turned into a pure golden color. The might of the true dragon and the vermilion bird erupted at once, and the indescribably terrifying combined might had Ao Niu kneeling forward onto the ground.
Xu Xiaolan made a peculiar seal with her slender hands as she said with an ethereal voice, “So be it, I’ll give trash like you the honor of witnessing my true strength!
“True Dragon Lightning Bind!”
A substantial chain of lightning flew from her hands before instantly splitting into one hundred chains that pierced through the oncoming crimson wave at incredible speed before binding tightly around the crimson wyrm and flying tiger!
“Howl!” An energy blast burst forth from the red wyrm’s mouth.
Inky-black flames engulfed everything in their path, making the night sky dim even further!
Xu Xiaolan looked up as a holy yet fierce sense of prestige flashed through her eyes.
“Vermilion Bird God Slaying Strike!”
This time, white wings of flames erupted from Xu Xiaolan’s back while holy flames surged around her whole body, taking on the shape of a vermilion bird.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword flew into her hand.
The black flames were within reach, but there was not even a hint of emotional fluctuation in her eyes. She was like a holy beast looking down upon the world with a pair of regal, emotionless eyes.
This time, not only did Ao Niu’s four legs kneel into the ground at once, even its head was bowed and pressed tightly into the earth.
It felt as if it were truly in the presence of a holy beast as an indescribable sense of awe and veneration welled up in its heart.
This was a holy beast! It was on an even higher level than immortal beasts and mythological beasts! It was a legendary being that could wipe away an entire world at will! How could it not be scared?
However, An Lin experienced none of those emotions.
He felt very carefree and relaxed as if the fearsome might exuding from her body intentionally avoided him, allowing him to appreciate her beauty and power.
The woman slashed her sword toward the black flames!
Heaven and earth fell deathly silent at that moment.
White holy flames formed a monstrous sword projection, which lighted up the entire world.
Heaven and earth began to incinerate, and space began to crumble and crack. Nothing could survive the might of this sword strike!
The black flames capable of engulfing everything in its path was pulverized by the white sword projection.
The crimson wyrm and flying tiger that were bound by the True Dragon Lightning Bind didn’t even get a chance to wail in anguish before being sliced in half. They were then completely engulfed by the boundless holy flames and were reduced to plumes of smoke.
The holy flames dissipated.
Xu Xiaolan’s features were a bit pale, but her eyes were extremely bright.
She turned to An Lin, and at that moment, she appeared more beautiful than ever as her luscious hair danced in the wind and wisps of holy flames shimmered around her like flitting fairies.
“An Lin, what do you think of that sword strike?”
