Chapter 469: Xiyang Continent's Prince

Xue Wei's strength had skyrocketed because he was using the half-transformation into the Azure Dragon shape, and vitality was flowing through his veins, removing every small ounce of exhaustion.

The vitality came from the Wood Elemental Qi, and the sheer strength made it possible for him to gain the upper hand against his opponents.

The experts that were flocking around him were Ordinary and Earth Saints.

Xue Wei had many things he wanted to test out in the big battle, but he was not sure about how much he would have time for. He was also continually keeping an eye on the battlefield's overall situation, and he soon found that the King and Emperor ranked experts were very even in the battle. If Lei Jingshen had not advanced to an Emperor, the Demon Phoenix Continent would have faced a staggering defeat.

On the ground, where the Saints and Knights were facing off against one another, the battle was chaotic. The Diviners were the main focus of the Demon Phoenix Army, and they were not overly strong, so one after another, they were picked off cleanly.

While the Demon Phoenix Continent's army was working as one entity, the Xiyang Empire's soldiers were much more troubled.

Some of them were guarding the Vermilion Birds within their cages, some went against Lin Xiao, and others were just bathing in bloodlust, slaughtering anything that came close.

Xue Wei had infiltrated the enemy lines; he was deep into the enemy army's ground, in an attempt at reaching the Vermilion Bird Clan's cage. He had no backup, but he was not worried. If he wanted to flee, no one would be able to stop him. He could transform into both an azure dragon and a vermilion bird, making escaping extremely easy.

As long as the expert was unable to kill him in one hit, then Xue Wei would be able to escape.

Because of this, he dared to venture so deep behind enemy lines, but he dared not bring his companions with him.

Just as he was fighting against a group of experts, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he swiftly evaded a sword attack that landed where he had stood just a moment before.

Xue Wei slowly turned around as he tossed a corpse away. In front of him was the first person to make him feel pressured, but instead of backing away, the battle intent in Xue Wei soared.

This was precisely what he had been looking for, and an almost manic smile spread on his face.

The man who had attacked frowned. He had not expected that Xue Wei had the ability to dodge his attack, and he became more serious.

Seeing his serious expression, Xue Wei was full of excitement. Although he liked to rip apart his opponents, nothing was better than a fulfilling battle where his life was on the line. A battle where he could get familiar with his own limits and transcend them!

The two people were very contrasting. Xue Wei was standing and resembled a demon. His clothes were red, but even so, one could easily see that they were soaked in blood. His arms were covered in azure scales with claws instead of fingers.

His eyes were full of madness, the smile on his face was eerie, and his hair was whipping in the wind, giving him a terrifying appearance. A single drop of blood was running down his cheek.

The other man, the one who had attacked, was wearing spotless white clothes. He was hovering above the air so that his boots would not get soaked in the bloody mud that the ground had turned into.

He was carrying a long and thin sword in his hands, and his face displayed no emotions whatsoever.

One was like a demon that had crawled up from hell, the other was like a clean deity descending from heaven, and no one dared to approach them.

Xue Wei snickered when he saw how the man was hovering in the air. What a waste of Qi! He must have some sort of cleaning habit.

The man did not have a cleaning habit, but he was not used to these situations. He was a prince of the Xiyang Continent, and he was used to being a genius amongst geniuses. A heavenly son, a Saint of unimaginable talent.

But he was older than Xue Wei, and while it was a difference of merely a few years, these years were enough to make him fear that if he left Xue Wei alive, then he would no longer be the only peerless genius.

To a person who was used to being revered, there was nothing more frightening than losing his fame and admiring gazes.

He had a group of bodyguards with him, four Heavenly Saints, and if they attacked together, then Xue Wei would be in a tight spot, but the prince was rather arrogant in nature.

He was confident that he would be able to deal with Xue Wei, and that he did not need the help of his bodyguards, so he ordered them not to interfere.

Looking at the bodyguards, Xue Wei narrowed his eyes. He could escape, but when he had finally found a real opponent, did he really want to flee?

He did not!

If he could not handle the bodyguards later, he could always escape then; letting go of this chance was not something he would do, not to mention that he was not the kind of person who backed down in the face of danger.

The chilling smile on his lips grew in size, and he could not help but laugh maniacally.

Azure Light Finger!
