Chapter 275: The Final Battle!
"Looks like Ice and Snow Drifting Down is about to end," Lei Dong muttered as he sensed the surrounding ice and snow vortex beginning to weaken. "If that's the case, then what comes next is the final eruption!"
"I can only leave the stage as well."
Lei Dong knew that the final Ice Phoenix was the ultimate burst of power, something even Shui Bing'er could not fully control. Even though he was still in decent shape, there was no way he could withstand it. His only option was to jump off the arena before it descended.
"Still, I can't just leave without doing anything."
Even though he had already decided to withdraw, Lei Dong still felt that he had to accomplish something first. Otherwise, he would have failed his role as a Control System Spirit Master.
Soon, accompanied by a clear phoenix cry, the snowflakes that had originally filled almost the entire arena and formed a tornado-like cutting storm suddenly rose into the air. They gathered rapidly in midair and condensed into a magnificent blue crystal Ice Phoenix.
Once the Ice Phoenix appeared, it did not waste any time. It simply glided downward toward the arena, its target locked directly onto the Enchantress fused body standing at the center of the platform.
The Enchantress fused body also seemed to understand that this was the final strike. It stood ready, gripping its 2 blood-colored crescent blades, clearly intending to withstand the attack head-on.
Yan, who stood not far away from the Enchantress fused body, reacted the same way. His 1st, 2nd, and 5th Spirit Rings lit up at the same time, pushing his attributes to the limit as he prepared to endure this final blow.
But at that critical moment, a ring of lightning flew in from the side and directly locked around Yan's body. His movements were interrupted on the spot, and he froze for an instant. He immediately turned in the direction the ring had come from, only to see Lei Dong grinning at him before jumping off the arena without hesitation.
Before the match, Yan had arrogantly ignored Lei Dong, which had irritated Lei Dong greatly. Now, being able to sabotage Yan at the most crucial moment was naturally the best revenge.
After being disrupted by Lei Dong, Yan did not even have time to get angry. All he could think about was breaking free from the God-locking Ring as quickly as possible, but by then it was already too late.
In the next moment, the Ice Phoenix, carrying immense cold energy, descended from the sky. With a deafening crash, all of the power contained within it erupted at once. Yu Hairou and Li Kai were blasted off the stage without any suspense, while Yan and the Enchantress fused body, along with nearly the entire platform, were completely sealed in ice. Blue light covered everything, creating a dazzling and magnificent sight.
It had to be said that the quality of this arena was indeed impressive. First it had endured the Hell White Tiger, and now the Ice Phoenix. Even after taking 2 attacks of this level, the platform still had not collapsed.
After the Ice Phoenix exploded, Shui Bing'er and Xie Wu reappeared on the arena, supporting each other. Their pale faces made it obvious that both of their Spirit Power reserves had been completely drained.
Crack, crack...
Right then, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out. One of the ice statues not far from Shui Bing'er and Xie Wu suddenly shattered, revealing Yan inside.
"You 2, die for me!"
The moment he broke free from the ice, Yan did not say anything else. He immediately launched an attack at Shui Bing'er and Xie Wu. His furious tone made it clear that he had already lost his mind. He no longer cared about the match at all and only wanted to kill the 2 women in front of him.
His reaction was understandable. Yan's current state was miserable. Only a thin layer of flame still clung to his body, while the rest of him was covered in bloodstains frozen by the cold. He looked utterly wretched.
Under normal circumstances, even if Yan had not been able to block the Ice Phoenix's final eruption, he would not have ended up in such a pathetic state. But Lei Dong had locked him down at the most crucial moment, forcing him to endure the full impact of the Ice Phoenix head-on. The result was naturally this.
The fact that Yan had not collapsed on the spot after taking such a beating was already proof of his strength, let alone that he still had enough strength left to attack the 2 women.
At that moment, Shui Bing'er, whose Spirit Power was completely exhausted, showed no fear in the face of Yan's assault. She knew there was someone who would definitely protect her.
And as expected, a figure suddenly fell from high above, slamming directly into Yan and sending him flying away.
It was Zhang Ping, and she had already lost consciousness.
"Yan, you're part of the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall, yet you're actually attacking defenseless girls. You've completely disgraced Spirit Hall."
Yu Tianlin's voice rang out as he flapped his dragon wings and descended from the air.
When Shui Bing'er and Xie Wu had used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to sweep the arena, Yu Tianlin had been fighting in the air with nothing else to do. He and Lei Tian had taken the opportunity to deal with Zhang Ping, whose Spirit was the Golden Waist Swift Swallow. Just now, when Yan had tried to attack Shui Bing'er, Yu Tianlin had simply thrown Zhang Ping out to interrupt him.
"You bastard..."
Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Yan's spirit finally broke. He could not hold on any longer and collapsed unconscious on the spot.
First he had been completely suppressed by Yu Tianlin in single combat, then he had been forced to endure Ice and Snow Drifting Down, then the full eruption of the Ice Phoenix, and finally Zhang Ping's unconscious body had slammed into him. That last hit was the final straw, causing him to completely lose his fighting ability.
"You did well. You've practically wiped them out already. Now only they are left."
Yu Tianlin's gaze swept across the frozen arena before finally settling on one particular ice statue. Without even turning around, he spoke to Shui Bing'er and Xie Wu behind him.
"Since both of your Spirit Power reserves are exhausted, go down first. I'll finish this."
"Be careful."
Shui Bing'er nodded lightly. She knew that if she stayed on the stage now, she would only become a burden. After reminding Yu Tianlin to be careful, she and Xie Wu supported each other and left the arena.
"Stop pretending. Even Yan managed to break free, so there's no way you're still trapped."
After Shui Bing'er and Xie Wu left, Yu Tianlin looked directly at the ice statue in front of him and said, "Now only we are left on the entire stage. Victory or defeat will be decided between us."
"Victory will always belong to Spirit Hall!"
A voice that sounded both male and female came from inside the ice statue. The statue trembled twice, then shattered apart. One crescent blade chopped straight down toward Yu Tianlin's head, while the other slashed horizontally at his waist.
The 2 blood-colored crescent blades were incomparably sharp, as if they could cut through anything. Yet when they struck Yu Tianlin's lightning-wreathed Dragon Claw, all they produced was a metallic clang. They were blocked completely. Even so, the dragon scales on his claw were left with shallow scratches.
Dragon Claw against crescent blade, Yu Tianlin and the Enchantress fused body instantly entered a fierce close combat exchange. Although his dragon scales were scratched with every clash, Yu Tianlin remained calm throughout. On the other hand, the Enchantress fused body grew more and more impatient.
Dragon scales were created for defense. Even if they were chipped a little, it was not a real problem. But the Enchantress fused body was different. It was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill state, and its Spirit Power consumption was extremely rapid. If it could not defeat Yu Tianlin quickly, then defeat was only a matter of time.
