Chapter Fifty-Eight: Confrontation
The shadows of Fi Lin Bai Wu Si Liu (Eight; Six) Qi VII Zero Meng Hei Hong were constantly moving, heat and cold intermingling with the air pressure, the atmosphere slowly fluctuating, creating a contradictory and strange oppressive feeling.
“Jiusu… Su… Jiu, are you a dual bloodline talent?!”
Xiao Yu looked at the increasingly unfamiliar face and hesitated, the sense of absurdity rushing back into her mind. Could it be that she had guessed correctly?
Su Jiu… was not a Priest after all, but an extremely powerful Warrior. There had been many talented individuals in history with dual bloodlines.
However, such talents did not manifest strongly in combat, so not many people coveted them.
Xiao Yu silently watched the petite figure but did not step forward. The aura emanating from the other party made her feel suffocated. That kind of power was perhaps not weaker than a Battle General’s.
A Dun, standing beside her, was stunned. Feeling the intense heat wave hitting his face, he frowned slightly, wanting to step forward but his feet remained still.
“Go! I can’t hold him for long.” The voice came from the petite figure, carrying a hint of coldness and determination.
With lowered brows, Su Jiu gently rubbed the sharp knife, her gaze falling on the spot where brilliant flames flickered. She exhaled, her expression gradually becoming sharp.
This was the first time facing a Battle General head-on…
Could this be the last time?
“Boom!”
Then, she slightly crouched, wings behind her rustling. With a powerful flap of her hind wings, she soared towards Lin Feng with a resounding cry of unfurling her wings, the lingering wind seeming to uproot the surrounding trees.
It wasn’t for show; she needed to borrow the impact force of her wings to instantly shatter the opponent’s energy shield.
It was impossible to hit such a nimble target relying on Feather Slash.
If she could shatter the opponent’s energy shield, she still hoped to win.
A Dun still wanted to step forward, but his arm was grabbed. Turning around, he saw Xiao Yu. She gently shook her head, put away her beast soldiers, and said with a serious expression:
“Let’s go. In a battle of this caliber, our participation would only be a burden.”
Although Su Jiu’s burst of power was strong, judging by her aura, she was still inferior to Lin Feng just now, and for some reason, she didn’t have any beast soldiers.
It was highly likely that she would… within a hundred moves.
“But, Class Leader…”
Looking at that small figure, A Dun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xiao Yu. She had already turned around and was jogging towards the main force, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness but also a sense of determination.
“There’s no ‘but.’ She’s an Exorcist, and protecting students is her duty!”
“Our duty is to keep these students alive. Don’t let her down!”
A Dun looked at Su Jiu again. Her back seemed to overlap with that of the Huayang male student from before. He then turned away helplessly, sighing softly, “Miss Su Jiu… take care.”
His steps felt as if they carried a thousand pounds. The somewhat solemn little face appeared in his mind.
Perhaps there weren’t many people in his life worthy of his respect, but now it seemed there was another.
The other party was a low-level Exorcist.
…
“Bang!”
“Clang!”
Zhang Xinyu’s sword was knocked away. Under her disheveled hair were a pair of distracted eyes. She looked up at the mocking face. The opponent didn’t seem to intend to deliver a killing blow immediately.
“Pfft… Xinyu, you’re too naive. None of them will be able to escape.”
Lin Feng’s lips curved into a slight smile. He slowly reached out, intending to pinch her chin, a smug expression appearing on his face.
The power of a Battle General truly felt wonderful. The Ancient God Sect didn’t seem so bad.
Originally, he would never have been able to reach someone like Zhang Xinyu, a talented young individual, in his lifetime, but the Ancient God Sect gave him the opportunity!
If possible… Heh heh.
Lin Feng’s gaze shifted downwards to her slightly bulging chest, his smile becoming even more unrestrained, as if she were already in his grasp.
Through her increasingly hazy vision, Zhang Xinyu could only watch as a hand radiating golden light slowly reached towards her. She wanted to close her eyes; she was so tired.
“Clang!”
Just as she was about to close her eyes, a wave of heat and the sound of metal collision came from beside her, which seemed to restore a bit of her lucidity.
“Fire?”
Then, Zhang Xinyu struggled to open her eyes, wanting to see the other person clearly. Was it Xiao Yu? Didn’t she tell her to leave?
No, no, this outfit is… a Priest’s combat suit. Looking again at her waist-length white hair and then at her cold profile, Zhang Xinyu’s pupils slowly widened. She was… Su Jiu!
“You hurry and go!” Su Jiu’s voice sounded in her ear. Without much thought, she staggered away, dragging her weary body, towards the outer camp.
Her mind was currently like mush. She didn’t know why Su Jiu was here, nor did she have the extra brainpower to ponder it.
“I didn’t expect it, little sister, that you had such strength. I originally thought you were just a healing-type bloodline, but you actually managed to break through my energy shield…”
Lin Feng wiped a blood-streaked scratch on his face and smiled at Su Jiu, his aura slowly pressing towards her. He thrust his long spear upwards.
Boom!
A stream of golden external qi was flung out.
After speaking, although Lin Feng was smiling, Su Jiu felt a chill spread throughout her body, as if she had suddenly entered an ice cellar.
The opponent had started using their true power!
“Battle Generals are indeed not to be underestimated!”
Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Her expression remained calm, but her heart tightened. Her knife moved slightly, a cold glint revealing itself. The crimson and black sword qi clashed with the golden external qi.
“Bang!” A small explosion sounded, and dust billowed.
Lin Feng disappeared!
“Such speed. As expected of a bird-like bloodline.”
Suddenly, Su Jiu felt a chill on her spine, as if danger was approaching. Instinctively, she looked up at the sky.
The opponent was soaring high like a Western angel. In the next moment, they violently plunged down, their dive leaving behind streaks of shadows, and they quickly reached Su Jiu, intending to strike her down.
“Shatter!”
Su Jiu shouted angrily, thrusting her sharp knife fiercely towards three feet above her head. Unfortunately, the tip of the knife only grazed the opponent’s afterimage.
Then, her pupils traced a red line through the dust, the veins on the back of her hand bulging. She stabbed backward, unleashing a thunderous explosion.
“Clang!”
The surge of qi emitted by the long spear and the sharp knife blew away the surrounding bushes and leaves, shaking the entire camp.
The clash between the two was like the sun and a volcano fiercely colliding, earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.
“She’s actually this strong. Is she really a high school student?”
Zhang Xinyu, who had already walked dozens of meters away, looked back again, gazing at the figures of the two. An inexplicable emotion stirred in her heart. She and Mayor Su were both mistaken…
Even in Dragon Country nationwide, Su Jiu was one of the top talented individuals of her age.
“His senses are so keen?”
Lin Feng retreated several steps backward, a hint of surprise in his eyes. The other party felt to him like an experienced Adventurer who had often traveled between life and death.
With this move, he had intended to kill her outright, unlike when he was toying with Zhang Xinyu, but Su Jiu had seen through it.
