Celestial Maiden Fei Ying was the first person to discover An Lin, and she didn’t want to waste too much time with words. The intense battle taking place here had very likely already attracted the attention of the other mighty figures.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying winked at An Lin seductively as she said, “I finally caught you, could you give me a little reward for that?”
“It’s over, Master! We’re being attacked from both sides!” Dong Guo yelled in fear.
“Shut up and focus on fighting!” An Lin snapped.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying turned a surprised gaze toward Dong Guo. “The high and mighty divine general of the Green Wood Imperial Family has become An Lin’s slave? How interesting…”
Dong Guo pursed his lips upon hearing this. She would probably find it more interesting if she knew about how unwilling An Lin was to accept a slave like him.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying stepped forward lightly as red cherry blossoms swept through the air in a beautiful yet lethal display.
The silver Gundam also drew closer as its particle sword shone with a dazzling light.
“Switching enemy target!”
The Gundam’s mechanical voice sounded with not even a single shred of emotion.
Then, before the astonished eyes of An Lin and Dong Guo, the Gundam swept through the air toward Celestial Maiden Fei Ying as it slashed a blue sword projection with its particle sword.
Fei Ying’s expression shifted as a barrier of flowers appeared before her.
Boom!
The sword projection clashed with the barrier of flowers before reducing countless cherry blossoms to dust with its overwhelming power. However, there seemed to be no end to the cherry blossoms, thereby allowing her to keep the sword strike at bay in the end.
An Lin and Dong Guo were both shocked upon seeing the sudden turn of events.
“My God, why would the mechanical puppet suddenly attack her?!” Dong Guo asked with a quizzical expression.
An Lin rolled his eyes at him before posing another question, “Then, do you know why the mechanical puppet attacked us in the first place?”
Dong Guo fell silent upon hearing this.
“Let’s go. We should be taking this time to escape rather than to ask all these meaningless questions,” An Lin said.
An Lin put away the useless Gundam One and Gundam Two before arriving at the green gate with Da Bai by his side.
There were many stone plaques littered throughout this chamber, upon which were inscribed strange symbols. There were also many green chains hanging overhead from the roof of the cave. These green chains appeared to be constructed from some sort of special material with powerful stabilization effects.
It was all thanks to these chains that such an intense battle had not caused the entire cave to collapse.
Dong Guo tried to push open the door, only to find that there was an extremely powerful seal on the door as his efforts were completely in vain.
He tore through space to try and teleport to the other side of the gate, only to find that there was a spatial seal as well…
Whoosh!
Dong Guo slashed a dazzling sword projection toward the gate.
The sword projection struck the gate, upon which a resounding boom erupted, and the gate trembled, but it still showed no signs of budging.
“What the hell is this gate made from?!” An Lin was shocked.
“This gate seems to have been enhanced by the power of laws, and it would be exceedingly difficult to break through unless one has already mastered the power of the divine dao,” Dong Guo explained as he analyzed with a grave expression.
“Let’s see if there are some triggers that can open this gate,” An Lin suggested.
Thus, the three of them began wandering aimlessly through the chamber, trying to see if there were any special features that might catch their attention.
A delicate cry suddenly sounded, “You aren’t getting away!”
A devastating tornado of cherry blossoms engulfed the Gundam, keeping it momentarily distracted.
Meanwhile, Celestial Maiden Fei Ying transformed into a streak of pink light before charging toward An Lin and the others.
She was a Return to Void Intermediate Stage mighty figure, so dealing with the Gundam wasn’t a problem for her. She did not want to let the phoenix egg escape from right under her nose again.
A green sword projection swept through the air like a giant wave. Celestial Maiden Fei Ying responded by launching a lethal pink crescent attack, which instantly sliced Dong Guo’s sword projection in half.
Fei Ying continued onward while heading directly for An Lin.
Cherry Blossom Killing Formation, Thousand Flower Burial!
Countless cherry blossoms glowed with bloodlust as a fearsome killing intent burst forth.
The cherry blossoms swept toward An Lin from all directions; each of which was powerful enough to slice through space itself. The vast expanse of flower petals created a killing formation with no blind spots, thus affording An Lin no avenues of escape.
This was Celestial Maiden Fei Ying’s finishing technique, and it was clear that her intention was to kill An Lin on the spot.
So what if he was more powerful than Dong Guo? This technique would slaughter ten Dong Guos with ease!
Black mist burst forth from An Lin’s body as his aura began to soar explosively.
Origin Energy of the Netherworld!
At the same time, a scintillating sun appeared in the air as it emanated boundless, scorching flames. A vast expanse of purple flames engulfed heaven and earth, from within which specks of starlight could be seen. Blue flames swept through the air like a giant wave, bringing with it a peculiar sense of scorching chill. Invisible flames of the heavenly void were omnipresent, incinerating everything within the cave.
The Great Holy Flame, Demonic Star Flame, Setting Moon Flame, and Heavenly Void Flame appeared at once to form a Sea of Divine Flames, which was capable of incinerating everything within this world.
Boom!
The entire space was completely engulfed by monstrous flames.
The countless cherry blossoms collided with the flames, and the resulting shockwaves shook heaven and earth as the space within the cave twisted and warped.
Fei Ying was also forced to stumble back a few steps in retreat by the fearsome flames, and her expression shifted drastically as she created a barrier of cherry blossoms before her.
A high-rank immortal tool, Divine Flame Bead, appeared in An Lin’s hand, and a golden flaming dragon swept forth from within. The flaming dragon was instantly empowered by the Sea of Divine Flames as its aura became even more fearsome while the golden scales on its body seemed to grow more substantial.
“Roar!” the golden flaming dragon let loose an enraged roar as it tore through the killing formation of cherry blossoms before sweeping toward Fei Ying.
“What? He has the power to launch a counterattack?” Celestial Maiden Fei Ying was shocked beyond belief that a Soul Formation Stage cultivator was capable of this.
It was already quite shocking to her that he could contend with her finishing technique, but now, he was launching a counterattack? That was simply incredible!
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying made a few hand seals to summon a white shield before her.
Boom!
The golden flaming dragon collided with the shield as scorching waves of flames swept outward while incinerating all the cherry blossoms in the air and creating a vacuum in the process.
Crack…
A crisp crack suddenly sounded, indicating that the shield was about to give out.
What a terrifying power!
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying was greatly startled as she made another few hand seals in quick succession.
Boom boom boom…
Three shields appeared in the air before her!
However, it was also at that exact moment that the golden dragon disappeared.
The Sea of Divine Flames also disappeared.
An Lin stood panting heavily on the spot as he silently swallowed a Blood Spirit Pill.
Celestial Maiden Fei Ying looked at the three shields before her, which had depleted a lot of her energy to materialize, and she felt like she had been swindled…
Right at this moment, the silver Gundam suddenly broke through Fei Ying’s trapping formation before charging toward her again.
“Master, are you alright?” Dong Guo asked as he rushed toward An Lin.
“I’m fine.” An Lin waved his hand before turning to look around at his surroundings. Aside from the green chains hanging overhead, he discovered that everything else had been incinerated by his divine flames. “I don’t think there are any triggers for us to find.”
Even if there were, it would have been burned to a f*cking crisp!
“Should we try running in the opposite direction?” Dong Guo asked.
There was no path forward, so they could only go backward.
“There’s another option…” An Lin muttered as he turned toward Celestial Maiden Fei Ying.
“Kill them when they’re down! Woof!” Da Bai chimed in with excitement.
Dong Guo understood now. Three on one, hehehe…
