Chapter 543: Chapter 451: Arrow Breaks the Lion
Shen Die narrowed her eyes. “You certainly look confident.”
“Of course…” Fan Taixi smiled, “because I am the strongest among the Twelve Palaces!”
As he spoke, Fan Taixi activated his thoughts, and three Epic Skills—Hurricane Eye, Thunder Roar, and Fiery Flame Rain—rushed out from mid-air.
“Anything I’ve seen and understood, I can imagine it.”
“Attack, defense, control… flawless.”
“So, I am the strongest in the Twelve Palaces!”
As he spoke, the three skills—Hurricane Eye, Thunder Roar, and Fiery Flame Rain—had already mixed together. The elements of wind, fire, and thunder intertwined, unleashing a power that was simply terrifying!
“Come on, you two Star Lords.”
Fan Taixi chuckled softly, and the storm of wind, fire, and thunder roared towards Shen Die and Li Ba.
Shen Die and Li Ba’s eyes narrowed, then they lunged forward together…
Meanwhile, the light flames rising from the Dual-Colored Divine Fire Lotus Platform were barely holding back Felix’s fierce attack.
“Your companion can’t help you.” Felix’s voice was cold and violent. “Soon, I’ll send you to your death!”
Yet, the more critical the moment, the calmer Xia Xuan felt inside.
This time the enemy was not like the eerie Capricorn who left her defenseless.
This was a tangible enemy she could see and touch!
Although the opponent was strong, she was no longer the same as before!
Seeing the flame screen of the Divine Fire Lotus Platform about to be torn apart, the Red Flame flickered in Xia Xuan’s eyes as she stomped on the lotus platform below her.
“Blast Flame!”
In an instant, the Divine Fire Lotus Platform, originally condensed from two highly compressed divine fires, suddenly transformed into a torrent of blue and red fierce flames, exploding with a roar!
The terrifying Divine Fire Energy within spread out in all directions like a crimson-blue tide!
“Hmm?!”
Felix’s expression changed, instantly swallowed by the explosion’s fearsome power, and flung far away.
His golden body emitted intense white smoke under the burn of the two divine fires, as if it was about to melt, already injured in a flash!
But more golden blood aura wrapped around him. Felix himself was like a golden core in a furnace, strenuously resisting the fire’s impact.
“Just a dying struggle!”
Felix never expected Xia Xuan to do this. Although burned by this self-detonation Divine Fire Skill, a bloodthirsty sneer appeared on his face.
“Without this Divine Fire Lotus Platform, what will you use to block me later? Soon, I’ll tear you to pieces again!”
After a moment, the power of the explosion slightly weakened.
Although Felix’s whole body had been burned to gold and red, he didn’t want to give Xia Xuan much time and opportunity.
Wrapped in golden blood, he rushed against the tide of blue and red flames!
Xia Xuan took a deep breath. “Sure enough, even the Divine Fire Lotus Platform couldn’t kill him…”
For an archer, the control of Star Power and the judgment of attack effect were crucial.
If there was a deviation, it could easily lead to a disadvantageous situation.
Xia Xuan predicted that this strike wouldn’t kill the heavily defended Leo. So…the real killing blow was yet to come!
This person’s defense was absurdly strong, exceeding her normal attack limits.
To break the limit and find a way to defeat the opponent… Xia Xuan’s gaze fell on the Divine Bird’s Woe in her hand.
She had to go all out with a Sacrificial Arrow!
Xia Xuan drew the bowstring, the blue and red colors flowing and condensing into Fire Arrows on the bowstring, emitting extremely strong fluctuations.
However, the golden light on Leo’s body flashed, dodging Xia Xuan’s aim with a zigzag movement, getting closer and closer!
Unexpectedly, Xia Xuan suddenly closed her eyes as if she had given up.
The next moment, her vision soared above, looking down on the ground from high above!
In this view, Leo’s zigzag movement trying to evade seemed laughable like a crab, easily locked on.
Despite the zigzag movement, Leo was getting closer to Xia Xuan until he was right in front of her!
Golden claws seeped with golden blood as if they could tear everything apart.
“This strike will tear you apart!”
Felix’s eyes were filled with the cold violence and killing pleasure of a lion!
At this moment, the five Divine Birds on the Divine Bird’s Woe radiated extreme brightness as if they were about to come alive.
This indicated an unprecedented crisis!
Xia Xuan suddenly opened her eyes, a sharp light bursting forth. As she willed, the five Divine Birds on the Divine Bird’s Woe, vividly lifelike, leapt from the bow into the spiral arrow of blue and red flames!
In an instant, the shadows of five Divine Birds, including the Vermilion Bird and the Green Bird, flickered on the Fire Arrow. Under the terrifying power, even the void around the arrow twisted!
Simultaneously, Felix felt an unprecedented sense of panic!
“This is it!” Felix’s heart chilled.
From first seeing Xia Xuan, Felix’s strong instincts sensed a greater threat from her than from the other two.
Now, this feeling appeared again, sharply clear, as if about to come true!
Felix didn’t hesitate, his body contracting, a large golden blood mist exploded, enveloping his body.
“Sacrificial Arrow!”
Xia Xuan suddenly lifted the longbow, shooting it towards the sky. The blue and red arrow leapt from the bowstring, disappearing into the air in a flash!
As Felix remained unsure, a dazzling star seemed to light up high in the sky.
On closer look, it wasn’t a star—it was an extremely bright, terrifying Divine Fire Light Arrow!
The next moment, accompanied by an unimaginable terrifying aura, the Divine Fire Light Arrow descended suddenly from mid-air.
“Boom!!!!”
The Dual-Colored Divine Fire+Sacrificial Arrow+Divine Bird’s Swan Song, this strike’s power was unimaginably strong. Before Leo could react, it pierced through him!
The blue and red flames flickered wildly, and the terrifying light burst forth instantly.
Within a radius of thousands of meters, everything was swept into ashes by the raging dual-colored flames, as if the world was destroyed!
Such a massive commotion naturally drew the attention of several people in the duel arena.
“This!…” Li Ba gasped, eyes widening.
Shen Die’s eyes flickered, shocked by the intensity of this strike.
“Felix…” Fan Taixi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somberly staring at the explosion!
After a good while, the swirling flames gradually dissipated, revealing two figures.
One was Xia Xuan, holding a longbow, with dual-colored divine fire swirling around her.
The other… was Felix, standing like a golden statue, looking up at the sky.
Li Ba’s face changed. “Damn, did this still not kill him?!”
“No.” Shen Die stared at the golden statue, lowering her voice. “Lord Xia… she won!”
As Shen Die spoke, Felix’s golden body suddenly showed large black patterns, then crumbled into black ash like gold foil.
On close inspection, Felix’s entire body, except for the outermost solid layer of golden skin, including bones and internal organs, had been turned into charcoal and black ash!
“Finally… I won…”
Xia Xuan watched Leo turn to ash and vanish in the air. Her face paled as she landed back on the ground, kneeling and gasping for breath.
Putting everything into a Sacrificial Arrow, no matter how much Star Power was left inside, it would be completely drained!
It’s either you die or I die, that is the sacrifice!
At this moment, the Divine Bird’s Woe had also lost its luster.
Xiao Xuan looked towards the distant duel arena, mouthing words.
Though too faint to hear, Li Ba and Shen Die knew what she said.
“Leave it… to you!”
Shen Die’s eyes relaxed, finally setting her worries aside.
Li Ba roared, “Good! Not only did she defeat Leo, but she also avenged Duanmu!”
Xia Xuan’s counter-kill of Felix significantly impacted the current battle and represented its vital significance.
To Shen Die and the others, this was the first Twelve Palace Star Envoy slain by the Sky Patrol Department!
Compared to Shen Die and Li Ba, Fan Taixi’s expression was gloomier.
“Felix… I didn’t expect that he could face one versus two, but would be killed by a lone archer!”
Is it due to that Epic Star Artifact…?”
Fan Taixi’s gaze fell on the dim Divine Bird’s Woe beside Xia Xuan.
The power of that strike, if faced directly, no one at the Shining Star Level could block it, not even himself!
Li Ba sneered at Fan Taixi. “Since that Leo is dead, you’re next!”
Hearing this, Fan Taixi suddenly laughed.
“You really think I’ll be the one to die?” Fan Taixi slowly raised his right hand. “You should know… among the Twelve Palaces, I, Aquarius, am now the strongest!”
As Fan Taixi’s voice fell, a vast space behind him rippled like waves, countless three-foot-wide blue whirlpools quickly emerging.
Afterward, Cross Swords, javelins, spears, greatswords… one after another, top-grade, sharp weapons emerged.
Count carefully, there were over a hundred!
Most were Super Blue Star Devices, and more than a dozen were Epic Star Artifacts!
“So many Star Devices!” Li Ba’s eyes widened.
Shen Die reacted. “Not only can you imagine skills, but you can also imagine Star Devices?”
Fan Taixi smiled. “Of course, even… far more than that.”
Shen Die’s eyes narrowed, and Fan Taixi already pointed.
“Go, slaughter them.”
Over a hundred Illusion Star Devices shot towards the two!
