The wind blades were incredibly fast, reaching Feng Baiyi in an instant, ready to slice her in two. Such powerful winds were too much even for a protective shield.
Volume 22, Chapter 25: The Battle in the Skies (Part 2)
------------------------
call……"
The wind blades were as sharp as mountains and as swift as knives.
Under the full control of the Seven-Colored Wing King, the entire space was filled with dangers, and even with the power of a supreme being, it was difficult to protect oneself.
At this point, a hint of appreciative smile appeared on Feng Baiyi's face. To be able to harness the power of the wind to such an extent was truly unique among immortals.
"I'm about to make my move." The calm voice contained boundless confidence, giving people endless assurance even in this seemingly extremely dangerous environment.
The Seven-Colored Winged King opened her divine sense to the fullest, intently watching Feng Baiyi's every move. Although she couldn't think of any other trump card the other party might have, the unease in her heart still affected her emotions.
A beam of white light suddenly burst forth from Feng Baiyi's body, like sunlight suddenly exploding, splashing up countless dazzling rays of light.
quick……
Feng Baiyi's movements can only be described with one word: fast, unbelievably fast.
That incredible speed punched a small hole in the tight wind wall, and in that fraction of a second, Feng Baiyi had safely escaped from the wind circle.
Her movements were incredibly fast. Even the Seven-Colored Winged King, who had been watching closely, didn't notice at all.
However, a flash of light in the wind circle made the Seven-Colored Winged King realize that something was wrong. Due to the pull of her divine sense, it felt as if her heart had been struck heavily by a large hammer, and even her figure in mid-air was somewhat unsteady.
A sudden, intense sense of crisis welled up inside her, as if something that could kill her was moving at high speed toward her.
Almost instinctively, the Seven-Colored Winged King tossed out a small paper figure without thinking.
"boom……"
A violent explosion resounded from the Seven-Colored Winged King's body, and countless bolts of lightning blasted her into a million holes, causing her to burst into flames in mid-air.
Xiao Wenbing, watching from afar, was greatly surprised and said, "No way, could it be over in an instant?"
He turned to look at the Great Serpent Supreme. This great serpent had lived next to the Seven-Colored Winged King for millions of years and they were very familiar with each other, so of course he had to ask it.
The Great Serpent Supreme shook his head slightly and said, "Seven Colors' strength is unfathomable. Even I and Duo Shou wouldn't dare to fight her easily. We wouldn't die so easily."
Sure enough, a ripple appeared in the space, and the Seven-Colored Winged King suddenly appeared on the other side.
Gazing at the burning ball of fire in the sky, Xiao Wenbing asked, "What is that? Did the man in white miss?"
After a moment of contemplation, the Great Serpent Supreme said, "I understand. This is a treasure of the Fox Clan personally crafted by Keris."
Xiao Wenbing immediately remembered the little paper doll he had exchanged for the Rejuvenation Pill. In times of crisis, this doll could protect its owner from a disaster.
He touched the Heavenly Void Ring in his hand. The little paper doll lay inside intact. The treasure he had obtained in exchange for several Rejuvenation Pills was indeed extremely useful. He had not suffered any loss at all.
"Hmph." The Great Serpent Supreme still wouldn't let it go, saying, "To actually use the fox spirit's secret technique, how shameful."
Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly; he didn't harbor any ill will towards Keris. Besides, this was a supreme-level competition, so of course he'd use whatever was most effective. If it were him, he would definitely use the paper doll substitute as well.
The Seven-Colored Winged King had just escaped, his face turning pale. A sweep of his divine sense revealed that the wind circle was now completely empty.
She couldn't understand how Feng Baiyi managed to break free of the wind circle and attack her.
If she hadn't clearly sensed Feng Baiyi's aura, she would have really thought the attackers were those people watching from the sidelines.
"boom……"
A thunderous explosion erupted above her head.
The Seven-Colored Winged King moved, leaving her original spot once more. However, something that filled her with immense fear occurred. No matter how she shifted and changed positions, the dark lightning above her head was like a leech, impossible to shake off.
The beautiful figure moved faster and faster; the Seven-Colored Winged King had pushed its speed to the limit.
As the king of the sky, when it comes to speed, apart from the golden roc, the Seven-Colored Winged King fears no one.
But today's battle made her realize one thing completely: there are still people in the world who can consistently outrun her in terms of speed.
Those watching breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing this moment.
Anyone who isn't a fool or an idiot knows that Feng Baiyi has already secured victory.
The speed of the two combatants at this moment is far beyond the limits of what the naked eye can perceive. Even these masters of supreme level cannot lock onto their figures with their divine sense.
However, they could still tell who had the upper hand based on their intuition.
"We've got this in the bag." The Great Serpent Supreme said gleefully, as if it were itself, not Feng Baiyi, fighting the Seven-Colored Winged King at this moment.
"That's right, judging by Sister Feng's speed, she's definitely a cut above the Seven-Colored Winged King, which already puts her in an invincible position. And..."
"And there's also the possibility of being struck by lightning," Zhang Yaqi said slowly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the dark lightning that had been hovering above the Seven-Colored Wing King's head finally struck down.
Amidst the deafening thunder, a dazzling, enormous bolt of lightning revealed its menacing form from the clouds.
The Seven-Colored Winged King's expression had turned extremely grim, and her movements suddenly accelerated by another three percent. The sense of impending death finally unleashed a new power within her, breaking through her previous speed limits.
Unfortunately, although she made a breakthrough at the last minute, in terms of speed, what could be faster than heavenly lightning?
Almost at the moment the lightning flashed, it had already transcended the barriers of time and space and arrived in front of the Seven-Colored Winged King.
In the critical moment, the Seven-Colored Winged King made a decisive decision and abandoned the idea of continuing to hide.
After that chase, she had come to a complete understanding that no one could escape the pursuit of lightning.
A dazzling light shone from her body, forming a seven-colored barrier around her.
A massive bolt of lightning struck the barrier, exploding into a series of sparks. Like raindrops hitting the eaves, it produced a fine, continuous "drip-drip" sound.
As the light faded, the Seven-Colored Winged King stood proudly in mid-air, completely unharmed.
In her hands, she held seven feathers of different colors and lengths.
"What is this?" Xiao Wenbing asked curiously.
The Great Serpent Supreme looked solemn and said, "I didn't expect the Seven-Colored Winged King to be fighting so desperately so soon."
"Fight to the death?" Xiao Wenbing glanced at the seven feathers and said, "Just based on these few feathers."
“Indeed, these seven feathers are the Seven-Colored Winged King’s signature treasure, condensed from her life essence. Their power is no less than that of my snake whip, but…” The Great Serpent Supreme paused for a moment and sighed, “This stinky bird has gone mad.”
"Oh." Xiao Wenbing smiled noncommittally and asked, "Why?"
The Great Serpent Supreme sneered and said, "Those seven natal bird feathers are powerful, but the Phoenix Master's Heavenly Thunder is known as the most powerful attack in all planes, both in heaven and on earth. If she wants to fight Heavenly Thunder head-on, what else could she be but madness?"
Touching his nose, Xiao Wenbing suddenly asked, "If you were the Seven-Colored Winged King, what would you do?"
The Great Serpent Supreme was taken aback. After considering for a long time, he was speechless and could not utter a single word.
Indeed, the Seven-Colored Winged King's forte—speed—was utterly insignificant in front of Feng Baiyi. Since escape was impossible, a direct confrontation was the only option. But what about facing heavenly lightning...?
Scratching his head, the Great Serpent Supreme said sincerely, "Fortunately, I am not the Seven-Colored Winged King."
Seven bird feathers slowly rose from the Winged King's hand, circling and flying around her. An invisible membrane surrounded her, protecting her completely.
However, she was extremely uneasy. Although the lightning strike had not injured her, it had left a slight scratch on her seven life feathers.
This demonstrates just how powerful the impact of the heavenly lightning was.
Looking up, she saw that the sky was now covered with dark clouds. She had experienced this once before, and a sense of fear that she could not describe welled up in her heart.
So many years have passed, even she thought she had completely forgotten.
But in fact, deep down, she has always kept the deepest impression of it.
The Nine Heavens Thunder and Fire Tribulation, the final heavenly tribulation that had saved her life by a hair's breadth, was now before her eyes once again.
The thunderclouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and the world seemed to lose all other colors, all shrouded in a chillingly dark mass of clouds.
The Great Serpent Supreme's body involuntarily retreated. Although he knew that the lightning bolt would not harm him, he was still terrified and could hardly control himself.
Xiao Wenbing was also astonished. He never expected that after reaching the Refining Spirit Realm, Feng Baiyi would be able to control even the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Tribulation.
With a wry smile, he thought, "If we're talking about power, heavenly lightning is indeed the strongest in the world."
"Boom..."
A tremendous roar, accompanied by a powerful surge of energy, thundered downwards.
The Seven-Colored Winged King's face turned deathly pale. It wasn't that she didn't want to escape, but she knew that escaping was futile under the pursuit of heavenly lightning.
The seven bird feathers slowly condensed, and the magical artifact, placed side by side, exerted its maximum effect.
Although she knew she was no match for him, her pride and arrogance meant she would never give up and wait to die.
Red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple, green.
The seven-colored feathers finally transformed into a dazzling shield of light, swirling above the Wing King's head.
All the spiritual energy and immortal power, spanning hundreds of feet, were attracted by the light shield and formed an unprecedentedly massive protective energy.
"Boom..." As everyone eagerly awaited, the giant thunder finally struck...
Volume 22, Chapter 26: Temptation
------------------------
crackling sounds...
The enormous sound traveled far and wide, and could be heard for hundreds of miles.
Countless clusters of light scattered in the air, dazzling the eye.
A faint red stain appeared at the corner of the Seven-Colored Winged King's mouth. Although she had barely managed to withstand the heavenly lightning strike, the enormous energy had still caused some damage to her body.
