Chapter 1290 - Final Breath
Chapter 1290: Final Breath
“There are too many powers gathered here, so we need to devise a course of action before we enter the fray!” Xuanyuan Cheng spoke with a serious expression.
“Master Yi the Wuju Bladesman is the most powerful, so he’ll be the main offensive force, the rock golem can act as the meat shield, Diana Scorn of the Moon will be responsible for assassination, while Ziggs the Hexplosives Expert and I will be situated at the rear of the formation to contribute to our offensive output…” Liu Qianhuan assigned roles for everyone with an excited expression.
Everyone: “???”
An Lin finally explained all of the characters to everyone after seeing their dumbstruck expressions.
For example, Master Yi the Wuju Bladesman was Xu Xiaolan, Diana Scorn of the Moon was Su Qianyun…
Everyone slowly began to understand upon hearing this. This formation seemed to be quite a viable one!
All of them expressed their approval of Liu Qianhuan’s proposed formation with the exception of Hong Dou.
“Why do I have to be the meat shield?” Hong Dou protested with an enraged expression.
Xu Xiaolan glared at Hong Dou. “How about you and I compete to see who can produce the most offensive output?”
“Or you can compete with me to see whose explosion is more terrifying!” Xuanyuan Cheng proposed with narrowed eyes.
Hong Dou was struck by an extreme sense of danger in that instant, and he shuddered involuntarily before nodding vigorously. “I’ll be the meat shield!!”
Hong Dou’s dream was to be the leading offensive output contributor of the team, but he was forced into this pitiful role instead…
Thus, it was decided.
Xu Xiaolan continued, “Not only do we have to be mindful of all the other powers, but we also have to pay attention to the three heavenly peach trees in that cherry blossom forest over there.
“Not only are there extremely powerful barriers within that forest, but there are also terrifying illusionary formations and slaughter formations. I just saw eight living beings enter the forest, five of which were slain and eliminated by the formations, while the remaining three are stumbling around without any sense of direction…”
An Lin heaved a faint sigh upon hearing this. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to continue to rest and recuperate, he would have easily taken care of all of those formations…
“We’ll base our plan of attack around creating an opportunity for Xuanyuan Cheng and Liu Qianhuan to enter the forest as they’re the most proficient two in the way of spell formations,” Xu Xiaolan suggested.
No one had any objections.
The battle was still raging on, and more and more people were getting eliminated as well as entering the cherry blossom forest.
They knew that they couldn’t delay any longer, otherwise, other powers would reach the heavenly peach trees first. Hence, An Lin and the others decided to officially enter the fray!
Thus, the Four Nine Immortal Sect also joined in on the battle.
Xu Xiaolan led the way like a proud Vermilion Bird with Holy Vermilion Flames dancing all over her body, making her completely untouchable.
“Hahaha… Come hit me, you stupid c*nts!” Hong Dou rushed into the battlefield and basically just tried to insult as many people as possible.
It actually worked to a certain extent. There really were a few people with explosive tempers that were distracted by Hong Dou’s childish insults.
Of course, all of them ended up being blasted by Liu Qianhuan and Xuanyuan Cheng.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect members cooperated with one another in perfect harmony, and they collectively pierced through their enemies like a sharp knife!
“Be on your guard everyone, the Four Nine Immortal Sect is here!”
“No one can impede my Spider Star Spirit Tribe! Surround them at once!” a spider with eight legs, two scythe-like arms, and a single green eye roared.
The other four spiders with it also roared with excitement, and all of them converged toward the Four Nine Immortal Sect members before launching one venomous spiderweb after another.
The spiderwebs glowed with specks of blue starlight, indicating that they were imbued with the power of stars, which made them resistant to fire as well as all sorts of sabers and swords!
This was the signature technique of the Spider Star Spirit Tribe, the Star Spirit Net! Even a Spirit Nurturing Stage spirit beast would find it difficult to evade these nets, which were raining down from all directions.
However, the confident expressions on the faces of all of the Spider Star Spirit Tribe living beings instantly froze on their faces as a burst of extremely pure Holy Flames erupted froth and melted away all of their Star Spirit Nets!
“What?! Our nets are fire resistant! How did they get burned away?”
“What terrifying flames!”
The Spider Star Spirit Tribe living beings were astonished.
“Get out of the way!” the most powerful cyclops spider roared before jumping in front of all of the other spiders and slashing down with its scythe-like arms!
A woman in a jade dress charged toward the spider and slashed down with her Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Boom!
The earth within a radius of over two hundred meters was pulverized by surging vital energy!
“Tribe Leader!” all of the spiders yelled as they were knocked flying.
Boom boom boom…!
Xu Xiaolan slashed one powerful sword projection after another through the air. The spider tribe leader defended with all its might. The clashes between sword and scythe sent shockwaves exploding outward.
Xu Xiaolan was moving extremely quickly, and her movement techniques allowed her to change directions instantly in smooth, flowing motions.
The tribe leader of the Spider Star Spirit Tribe was slowly being forced onto the back foot.
Xu Xiaolan was getting so caught up in the battle that she forgot that there was a coffin with An Lin in it on her back and that An Lin was currently in such a feeble condition that he was as vulnerable as a mortal!
An Lin felt as if he were sitting on the most terrifying roller coaster ever, where it was constantly charging, then stopping, then turning, and occasionally even spinning around in a circle…
He felt like he was going to die if this continued.
How could the body of a mortal keep up with the terrifying Xu Xiaolan in battle?
“You… you’re murdering your husband… Eurgh!”
An Lin’s eyes rolled over, and he vomited all over himself. He had taken his final breath…
Not long after that.
Flames exploded.
The tribe leader of the Spider Star Spirit Tribe let loose an anguished wail as it flew through the air with a golden protective light erupting from its body.
“Tribe Leader!” The rest of the Spider Star Spirit Tribe living beings cried in despair.
Their tribe leader was a Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure! Why was it unable to defeat a Return to Void Initial Stage woman when both of them had their powers equally reduced to the tenth-stage Dao Body?
They found this to be absolutely unfathomable.
What was unbeknown to them was that Xu Xiaolan was more than capable of slaying Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures even though she was only at the Return to Void Initial Stage herself, so she would definitely win this battle!
Soon after that, Xuanyuan Cheng and Liu Qianhuan had also taken care of all of the other Spider Star Spirit Tribe living beings.
Xu Xiaolan sheathed her sword in one smooth, elegant motion. She was like a jade lotus standing proudly in the breeze, exuding the peerless aura of an exceptional sword immortal.
The entire audience within the Heavenly Palace was momentarily stunned by the sight of this.
Xu Xiaolan was just about to continue forward when a mellow voice sounded from beside her.
It was the voice of Su Qianyun, who was hiding in the shadows. “Classmate Xiaolan, look at Classmate An Lin! I feel like he doesn’t look all that good.”
Xu Xiaolan immediately transferred the Blood Soul Jade Coffin off her back upon hearing this, upon which she was given a massive fright.
“Oh my God! An Lin, what happened to you?!”
Xu Xiaolan was in complete panic mode as her features turned deathly pale.
An Lin lay feebly within the coffin with no hint of any colors on his face. His eyes had rolled over into the back of his head, and his entire body was stained by the contents of his stomach.
Most importantly, he wasn’t breathing!
