Waiting for the Right Moment
From the corners of Qing Lin's mouth, sharp fangs, typical of a python, shot out, chilling and terrifying. Rings of cold lines spread outwards. On Qing Lin's side, a similar celestial phenomenon occurred. Large snowflakes drifted down, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that these snowflakes were not pure snowflakes. As they glided down from the sky, they automatically created wisps of icy trails along their paths. These trails appeared extremely thin and fragile, yet they remained suspended in mid-air without even the slightest tremor.
This half of the area is now under Qing Lin's absolute control. If Qing Lin wanted, she could even freeze it into ice. However, sometimes exaggerated displays do not necessarily mean greater power. The energy contained in these delicate ice patterns is no weaker than a sweeping frost storm.
The strange phenomenon caused by the Qing Lin made the powerful members of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Clan feel as if a god had personally descended. Even on the battlefield, they couldn't help but bow down and worship.
Xiao Yan and Qing Lin stood hand in hand.
One cold, one hot; one blazing, one frigid!
The two energies gathered separately. Sheng Huang watched this scene, not in a hurry to attack Xiao Yan and Qing Lin. To be precise, he didn't have the ability to truly attack Xiao Yan and Qing Lin at the moment. He was more concerned about the effect of Xiao Yan and Qing Lin's fused attack. These energies, as they appeared now, were absolutely opposed and absolutely incompatible.
He could guess that Xiao Yan and Qing Lin had some ideas, but even from his perspective, it was all a bit too extreme. Things get out of control once they go to extremes, and this applies to people in any world and cultivation system.
"If you were in the upper realm, you might be able to manage, but being confined to this small world, your only fate is to lose control as the energy continues to rise, ultimately suffering severe backlash!"
Sheng Huang was confident in his judgment. If all went well, he wouldn't mind adding a bit more fuel to Xiao Yan and Qing Lin's combined attack, making their self-destructive end come even faster. It was just a pity that his swift killing of two Nine-Star Dou Sheng level beings had greatly depleted his power. His victory just now was partly due to giving his all, but he had only consumed energy. Given more time, he would be able to resume the fight.
"The limitations of this realm are truly annoying. After accumulating strength for so long, all I have is the ability to engage in combat to my heart's content, and my recovery speed is greatly suppressed. I really can't stand it for even a day longer."
Seeing that Sheng Huang did not move, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin continued their prepared stance, and the energy they controlled quickly surpassed the level they had been practicing.
While controlling the blooming of the Heavenly Flames, causing the temperature to rise rapidly, Xiao Yan also carefully observed Qing Lin's condition. To Xiao Yan's surprise, Qing Lin's performance at this moment was no less than his own, and the increase in cold energy was also uninterrupted. Qing Lin's emerald green eyes were almost directly radiating light.
Although Qing Lin's soul was completely possessed at this moment, she still felt Xiao Yan's attention.
"Don't worry, young master, I also want to avenge Senior Yan Jin! You don't need to worry too much about me, I can do it!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's killing intent towards Sheng Huang intensified. "Alright, then let's go all out and give him a big gift!"
The fiery inferno behind Xiao Yan flared up once more, according to his will.
On the Continental Allied Army's side of the battlefield, things were extremely turbulent because Yan Jin and Lei Ying had suffered heavy losses. However, when Xiao Yan truly chose to confront Sheng Huang directly, the previously bleak situation suddenly regained some vitality. Rationally speaking, almost no one thought that Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were a match for Sheng Huang, but emotionally, they were all hoping that Xiao Yan could create another miracle.
Even the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, who were originally rivals, were in the same boat. Only if Xiao Yan withstood the Sheng Huang's offensive could this battle continue.
Since Xiao Yan left, the intensity of the battles on the Continental Allied Army side has increased rather than decreased. Although Xiao Yan has burned away most of the Black Mist's energy, the Continental Allied Army side has also lost its best protective shield. In a sense, the two sides have entered into a very fair game.
The Continental Allied Army and the Battle Saint-level powerhouses belonging to the Extraterritorial Evil Clan have now finally entered a state of intense melee combat where they are completely without any protective barriers and rely entirely on their own strength to fight each other.
Once the melee begins, casualties, which were initially within control, will increase rapidly, especially in a situation where both sides are destined to fight to the death and their strengths are very similar.
The current patriarch of the Heavenly Luan Clan, Mu Que, had used all his skills against his opponent who was right in front of him, but he still couldn't defeat him. Instead, in the ensuing entanglement, he was severely wounded by his opponent.
His powerful vitality as a magical beast allowed him to ignore his own pain, but he clearly sensed that the human opposite him, also One-Star Dou Sheng, was constantly improving. If the stalemate continued, he would be the only loser in the end.
Mu Que suddenly said to his opponent, "Do you know that I'm confident I can kill you with my next move!"
The One-Star Dou Sheng, who had been infused with the power of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, scoffed mercilessly. "Your battle tactics are crude enough, but I didn't expect your brain to be so useless as well."
"Don't you know your death is imminent?"
Mu Que grinned, and then his broadsword suddenly erupted with an extremely strong azure wind aura, before he slashed fiercely down from above.
The power of this strike was truly astonishing, enough to threaten an ordinary One-Star Dou Sheng expert. However, his opponent was Peak One-Star Dou Sheng, and had already witnessed him use this move once.
"It seems you've run out of ideas."
Black light swirled and danced in the man's palm. Just as he was about to strike out and intercept Mu Que's attack, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold. He immediately realized: someone was attacking him!
He couldn't believe it. After all, when Mu Que was making those threats, he had clearly scanned his surroundings and there shouldn't have been anyone there.
He wanted to continue pondering, to find out exactly where the problem lay, but time was of the essence. Mu Que's fierce slash landed directly on his chest without any obstruction, his body shattering instantly. His soul tried to leave, but the chilling aura continued to assault him, perfectly annihilating his soul as well. A One-Star Dou Sheng perished meaninglessly on such a battlefield.
