Chapter 594: Wu Xiu Takes Action
Boom!
A terrifying, earth-shattering sound echoed throughout the entire area as a powerful shockwave surged outwards, resembling a violent storm unleashed between heaven and earth. The white jade platform below cracked and shattered, layer after layer torn away by the violent energies.
Countless pairs of eyes focused intensely on this shocking collision, their expressions growing solemn and astonished.
In the next instant, Lin Langtian stared coldly at Wu Yan standing opposite him and sneered, suddenly slamming his fist violently onto the ground.
Boom!
A massive crack, nearly a thousand feet long, shot forward like a giant serpent, rapidly approaching Wu Yan's feet. Suddenly, flames erupted from the crevice, transforming into a massive dragon of fire that surged forth, aiming to swallow Wu Yan whole.
"Insignificant tricks."
Wu Yan's eyes turned ice-cold. Without any apparent movement, a radiant wave of fire erupted from within his body, instantly shattering the fiery dragon into countless sparks.
The might of a seasoned Samsara realm expert was truly formidable.
Whoosh!
However, at the moment the fire dragon shattered, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared ghost-like before Wu Yan. A thunderous sound accompanied this figure as a fiery longsword thrust forward with ruthless precision, directly aiming at Wu Yan's throat.
"Hmph."
Yet, even facing such a swift attack, Wu Yan merely snorted coldly and extended his finger. Brilliant flames condensed, rapidly forming a fiery feather blade that forcibly blocked the ruthless strike of the Fire Phoenix Sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seeing his attack thwarted, Lin Langtian moved again, instantly splitting into countless afterimages. Fiery sword shadows flashed rapidly, launching a barrage of lethal attacks that could have easily cut down any peak Profound Death stage expert, aiming at every vital point on Wu Yan's body.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The crisp ringing of swords striking metal echoed constantly. Observers could only catch glimpses of Lin Langtian's blurry figure circling Wu Yan like a relentless whirlwind. Yet, whenever these deadly strikes neared Wu Yan's body, radiant feather-like shields appeared to block each blow effortlessly.
"Is this truly all you have?" Wu Yan mocked, staring at the swirling afterimages around him with disdain.
Lin Langtian paid no attention to his provocation, continuing his fierce onslaught. Unbeknownst to everyone else, with every passing moment, the fiery furnace within Lin Langtian's body began to stir and rumble increasingly, like an ancient volcano on the verge of awakening.
Clang!
Another sharp clash resounded as Wu Yan stretched two fingers, effortlessly catching Lin Langtian's sword blade between them. His fingertips glowed with intense flames, effectively immobilizing the Fire Phoenix Sword.
"You overestimate yourself," Wu Yan sneered, holding the blade firmly while staring contemptuously at the opponent opposite him.
However, as Wu Yan glanced over, he met Lin Langtian's eyes, which now glowed fiercely with scarlet flames, burning with an intensity that caused even Wu Yan's heart to momentarily skip a beat.
Whoosh!
Those crimson, flame-infused eyes fixed themselves coldly on Wu Yan. In the next instant, Lin Langtian's body blurred, suddenly pressing forward, delivering a palm strike.
Boom!
At that moment, the fiery furnace within Lin Langtian exploded with force, unleashing a vast surge of energy like a volcanic eruption.
This astonishingly powerful force far exceeded any previous strike Lin Langtian had displayed, signifying the true might of the perfected Black Flame Tyrant Body!
Bang!
Space itself fractured under the immense force, forming a massive black rift before Lin Langtian. Wu Yan's expression finally changed dramatically. The intensity of this attack was many times greater than before!
"Black Crow Heavenly Flame Shield!"
With a low shout, dazzling flames erupted from Wu Yan's body, swiftly condensing into a shield formed by countless blazing feathers. The shield radiated an intense aura of life-and-death energy, possessing extraordinary defensive power.
Yet, Lin Langtian's palm strike continued unhindered. The flames in his eyes grew increasingly fierce, and within him, the fiery furnace roared ceaselessly. These roars reverberated within his body, transforming into a terrifying power channeled directly into his palm strike.
Bang!
The flame-colored palm landed heavily on the feather shield. Upon impact, every spectator felt their hearts skip a beat. A devastating energy shockwave spread violently, shattering the entire platform into ruins in an instant.
Boom!
Amidst the chaos, countless gazes locked onto the source of the explosion. Suddenly, someone gasped sharply, as a distinct cracking sound echoed through the air.
One figure abruptly shot backward, thrown thousands of feet across the sky. Just before touching the ground, however, the figure managed to stabilize himself abruptly.
The crowd erupted into shocked murmurs upon recognizing the figure that nearly crashed into the ground—none other than Wu Yan!
In this direct confrontation, Lin Langtian had forcibly shattered the defenses of the powerful Fire Branch leader!
"What incredible power!"
People exchanged astonished looks, deeply shaken. To break through the defense of a seasoned Samsara realm expert directly while only at half-step Samsara was simply unimaginable!
Lin Langtian's figure reappeared slowly in mid-air, his entire body cloaked in terrifying flames. Behind him, these flames formed a colossal fiery furnace seemingly vast enough to engulf the sky, exerting a dreadful pressure that made breathing difficult even for the strongest observers.
No one could fathom how a mere half-step Samsara expert could exude such overwhelming pressure.
Even Wu Xiu, leader of the Forest Branch, had grown solemn, clearly sensing the dangerous threat emanating from Lin Langtian.
"Cough."
A soft cough resonated from the sky as the somewhat embarrassed Wu Yan slowly wiped away a streak of blood from his mouth. Raising his head, he glared at Lin Langtian with murderous intent, his lips forming a sinister smile.
"I already thought highly of you, yet still suffered a loss..."
"But I won't give you another chance."
As these chilling words faded, intense flames began to swirl within Wu Yan's eyes, signaling the unleashing of his true killing intent. He clenched his hand sharply, and the nearby Wu Lie suddenly shook violently as a streak of black light shot forth from his body, directly into Wu Yan's grasp.
The Great Universe Cover had finally returned to its true master!
Wu Yan clearly intended to use his ultimate weapon.
Hum!
However, just as Wu Yan reclaimed the Great Universe Cover, Lin Langtian swiftly brandished his Fire Phoenix Sword. A resonant phoenix cry echoed across the heavens as terrifying power surged forth from the blade, significantly strengthened by the Black Flame Tyrant Body, slicing toward Wu Yan.
Wu Yan's pupils shrank dramatically as an unprecedented sharpness rushed toward him, piercing painfully against his skin. A chilling fear gripped him, as even with his cultivation level, he realized he couldn't fully withstand this strike.
"This kid truly is formidable," Wu Yan muttered grimly. Facing the rapidly approaching sword strike, he immediately manifested his original form—a massive, flaming Black Golden Crow emerging behind him.
"Divine Flame Golden Crow Finger!"
Wu Yan shouted deeply as both he and the gigantic crow simultaneously extended their fingers, forming an enormous fiery crow claw that surged fiercely toward the sword strike.
The audience gasped; everyone recognized Wu Yan's lethal signature technique, rarely unleashed in battle.
Whoosh!
Under countless astonished gazes, Lin Langtian's sword beam pierced forward decisively, colliding violently against the flaming Golden Crow finger.
Crack!
Instantly, space shattered, unleashing countless sharp shards slicing through the sky, creating chaos across thousands of miles.
In the epicenter of this destruction, Lin Langtian tightly grasped the Fire Phoenix Sword. With a quiet whisper, he uttered one single word:
"Break!"
Boom!
In that instant, brilliant flames erupted from the sword, forming a magnificent phoenix soaring skyward. The unstoppable sword energy cleaved effortlessly through Wu Yan's fiery attack.
"What?!"
Wu Yan's expression changed dramatically, unable to believe the sheer power behind Lin Langtian's strike.
The deadly sword light rushed forward unimpeded, heading directly for Wu Yan.
"Great Universe Cover!"
Wu Yan urgently activated his defensive treasure. A black shield instantly surrounded him, barely absorbing the terrifying impact.
Boom!
A deafening explosion followed. Although shaken violently, the shield barely held firm.
Inside the trembling shield, Wu Yan stared grimly at Lin Langtian, coldly declaring, "Brat, you're still too weak to breach my defense!"
Lin Langtian sneered, raising his sword again. "Then let's see how many more strikes you can endure!"
Hum!
The Fire Phoenix Sword vibrated intensely, launching another devastating attack that crashed into the shield with incredible force.
Again and again, the sword struck, weakening the shield significantly each time. Wu Yan was forced into total defense, his situation deteriorating rapidly.
Boom!
With one final strike, Lin Langtian's sword shattered the shield completely. Wu Yan, now completely exposed, flew backward in panic.
Lin Langtian's eyes sharpened murderously as he surged forward for the final blow.
But suddenly, an immense surge of energy descended from above, interrupting his attack.
Boom!
The shockwave halted Lin Langtian momentarily as countless astonished gazes turned to its source—Forest Branch Leader Wu Xiu had finally intervened.
"So, you've decided to step in at last," Lin Langtian remarked coldly, calmly meeting Wu Xiu's indifferent stare.
