Chapter 2536: The Strongest Strike
Chapter 2536: The Strongest Strike
When the flamboyant demoness’s fist of immortal qi approached, the Dragon Maiden raised her eyebrows high, exclaiming softly, and abruptly smashed down the fists held aloft above her head."Furious Flame Fist!"
Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she gently uttered these three words.
Furious Flame Fist was a fire system secret technique originally created by Fang Bai in his previous life and later passed on to the Dragon Maiden.
Although this secret technique was the simplest among those created by Fang Bai, it still belonged to the Emperor Rank. Coupled with the aid of the Dragon Scale Armor, its display now carried a hint of emperor’s might, rapidly and endlessly swift.
"Boom!"
The Flaming Fists unleashed by two female immortals collided in the void.
Despite having the high rank cultivation level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, the flamboyant demoness of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan suffered loss in this clash without the aid of the Nine-Headed Fire String Zither emperor’s instrument, staggering hundreds of feet back under the rebounding force from the flaming fists, her face slightly pale.
"Well done!"
Seeing the Dragon Maiden seize the upper hand, thousands of disciples scattered across the nine islands of Fire Dragon Island cheered enthusiastically, each extremely excited.
Only Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor and a dozen of high-level members from Fire Dragon Island knew that the Dragon Maiden’s advantage was simply because the opponent hadn’t harnessed the power of the emperor’s instrument.
"The fire system secret technique used by the Dragon Maiden now was not taught by me; I wonder where she learned it. Could it be from some encounter during previous training?"
Seeing the flaming fist unleashed by the Dragon Maiden, its power far exceeding the secret techniques he taught her, faintly carrying some Taoist Rhyme, Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor was shocked and puzzled.
Though the Dragon Maiden had the assistance of emperor instruments, her cultivation level was still too weak, unable to exert even a fraction of the emperor instrument’s power, making victory in this duel far from easy.
"Wearing the Dragon Scale Armor, her battle strength actually enhanced to such an extent, capable of contending with me... Nevertheless, this is the limit."
The flamboyant demoness coldly said, raising her hand to summon the Nine-Headed Fire String Zither floating in the distant void.
"Fire Dragon Island has produced such a prodigy like you, if given another hundred years, I would no longer be your match. Then it would be hopeless to occupy the Dragon Blood Pool."
The flamboyant demoness gently stroked the strings of the Nine-Headed Fire String Zither, speaking slowly.
"Hence... Today, you must die!"
With these words, her ten fingers flew across the strings, continuously plucking them, as waves of Fire Blades converged densely, attacking towards the Dragon Maiden.
Knowing the Dragon Maiden had activated the formidable bloodline of the Dragon Scale Armor, she was a fierce adversary, and allowing her to live would spell future calamity; thus, she bore an intensely strong intent to kill.
The Dragon Maiden understood that her success or failure linked the fate of thousands of disciples from Fire Dragon Island, gritting her jade teeth, her fists unleashed wave after wave of flaming fists.
The flamboyant demoness, battling with the aid of emperor’s instruments, saw her combat strength soar, claiming the advantage from the outset.
Under her relentless attack pressure, the Dragon Maiden’s figure continuously retreated. Without the protective Dragon Scale Armor, she would have been injured again, perhaps even fallen.
The cheers of the Fire Dragon Island disciples ceased, each silent and somber, faces showing worry.
"Despite the assistance of the Dragon Scale Armor, the Dragon Maiden’s cultivation level is still too weak!"
Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor had hoped the Dragon Maiden, activating her blood with the Dragon Scale Armor, could reverse the battle, but finding the outcome unchanged, he felt a deep sadness and silently sighed.
The Dragon Maiden, retreating gradually in combat, had arrived above the Island Master Hall.
If she retreated further, the Island Master Hall would be directly exposed to the flamboyant demoness’s attacks.
The Island Master Hall is a symbol of Fire Dragon Island; its destruction would be a devastating blow to the spirit of thousands of Fire Dragon Island disciples.
"Mentor, I want to activate my potential and use a more powerful secret technique. If the opponent gets wounded, you can seize the opportunity for an all-out attack. Fire Dragon Island’s victory hinges on this!"
The Dragon Maiden suddenly transmitted to Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, her delicate face revealing a determined look.
"Dragon Maiden, don’t..."
Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, hearing this, was aghast, immediately yelling to stop her.
If he sacrificed to protect her, the Dragon Maiden wearing the Dragon Scale Armor might still have a chance to escape, but if she activated her potential, facing the subsequent side effects and significantly reduced combat strength, there would be no possibility of escape.
However, the Dragon Maiden had resolved her mind, amidst Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s stopping shout, she began fiercely stimulating her inner immortal power and igniting her fighting spirit.
Her eyes turned bloodshot, the aura around her body becoming violent, her battle strength soaring.
Her right palm swiftly turned over, forming a complex and profound palm blossom, then suddenly striking out like lightning.
Thousands of large flaming palms emerged from thin air, attacking from all directions towards the flamboyant demoness of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan.
If Fang Bai were here, he would know that the Dragon Maiden was using his transmitted fire system secret technique, "Palm Burning Ten Thousand Immortals."
This fire system secret technique was at a much higher tier than the flame fist, its power incomparable.
But with the Dragon Maiden’s cultivation level, to effectively unleash the power of this secret technique, she could only activate her own potential.
The Emperor Realm high rank secret technique attack, combined with the emperor’s might of the Dragon Scale Armor, made the Dragon Maiden’s palm strike exceed the defense of high rank strong practitioners in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
"How is that possible!"
The flamboyant demoness never expected the Dragon Maiden to unleash such a powerful strike.
Amidst the attacks of thousands of large flaming palms, the flamboyant demoness felt immense pressure and severe crisis, her face drastically changed.
If she activated her own potential, she could easily withstand the Dragon Maiden’s attack.
But she wouldn’t do so, as it would severely reduce her combat strength, subsequently allowing Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor to easily take her life.
Therefore, she could only rely on the emperor’s instrument to fully resist the Dragon Maiden’s strike, hoping not to be gravely injured.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
...
The flamboyant demoness’s hands flashed, quickly plucking the zither strings, as dense Fire Blades like rain met the attacking flame palms from all directions.
Despite most of the flame palms being countered by her Fire Blades, a fair number of flame palms still shattered the Immortal Domain formed around her, falling upon her.
The flamboyant demoness’s body was sturdy; suffering just one palm attack wouldn’t hurt her, but at least several dozen flame palms landed on her, cracking her internal organs.
"Puff!"
The flamboyant demoness spat a mouthful of fresh blood, unexpectedly suffering significant injuries, her combat strength directly halved, her figure swaying precariously, almost tumbling from air into the sea.
"Nine-Headed Fiend Bird, die!"
With a cultivation level reaching that of Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, adept at seizing opportunities, he saw the flamboyant demoness had been wounded, knowing such a chance was fleeting, shouted furiously with grief, merging his body with an immortal artifact, launching his lifetime’s strongest attack.
The Dragon Maiden forcefully unleashed the "Palm Burning Ten Thousand Immortals" secret technique; with each palm strike, her immortal power seemed instantly drained, leaving her extremely frail, and the side effects of activating her body’s potential manifested now, her vision dimmed, and she plunged toward the ground.
Just before losing consciousness, she caught a glimpse of a flowing light shot from the distant sea sky, and seemed to hear an extremely familiar voice beside her ear.
"Dragon Maiden, I am here!"
