Bei Chenzhu saw the scene before him and dared not slack off. He too frantically devoured spiritual energy, trying to defeat Lin Qi as quickly as possible.
A massive phantom of emerald bamboo suddenly appeared in the sky.
The bamboo shadow swayed as though a pillar holding up the heavens were about to come crashing down, radiating overwhelming pressure.
Behind the bamboo shadow was the outline of an enormous bird beast, though it could not yet be seen clearly.
The crowd beneath the arena could not help but light up with excitement. "Isn't that the Beichen Family's ultimate move—the Soul of the Phantom?!"
"I heard that the Soul of the Phantom best reveals a person's talent. When Bei Chenzhu awakened it back then, he shocked the entire Beichen Family. Yet after making his name, he has rarely been seen using this move."
"Given how powerful this move is... no wonder Bamboo Prince seldom uses it."
"Fellow Daoist Lin is likely going to lose."
"Not necessarily. Look at the commotion Lin Qi from the Southern Continent has stirred up—it's no small matter either. Who knows what move she has yet to unleash? She did defeat Hai Jian, after all. She must have something extraordinary up her sleeve..."
The two sides went back and forth, arguing sentence after sentence.
Lin Qi remained remarkably composed on the arena.
Bei Chenzhu did not pose much of a threat to her. This Soul of the Phantom move had thoroughly exposed his strength.
Perhaps it could pose a seven- or eight-tenths threat to Lin Qi, but that was all—seven or eight-tenths.
The Imperial Phoenix Seal in her hands was just about to take shape when, in the distance, an enormous Vermilion Bird phantom spread its flaming wings and soared straight at the heavens.
A clear cry
