“Little Xie is mine.”

This sentence echoed through the air.

The Moonlit Night Monarch’s brows furrowed. She felt like things were going to be a bit more difficult than she had thought.

Xu Xiaolan’s brows furrowed. She felt like things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

Tina’s brows furrowed. She felt like things were a bit strange.

Da Bai’s brows perked up. He felt like things were getting very interesting.

The Evil-Slaying Sword was extremely touched and immediately let loose a torrent of abuse, “Are you a retard? She’s trying to take me, so you better hurry up and put me away!”

An Lin only came to his senses then, and he immediately put the Evil-Slaying Sword into his storage ring.

The Evil-Slaying Sword once belonged to the Dark Wing Tribe, so keeping it out in the open might spell trouble. For example, the Moonlit Night Monarch might have some sort of mystic technique to summon it back to her or something like that.

With that in mind, it was best to keep it safe and sound in the storage ring.

If she wanted to take An Lin’s Evil-Slaying Sword, then she would have to earn it!

“Alright then, I guess I’ll just have to disable you first.” The Moonlit Night Monarch’s brows furrowed slightly as she gripped the air before her. The moon in the sky brightened significantly, and its light materialized into a pristine white scythe in her hands.

“All of you find a chance to escape. I’ll hold her off!” An Lin roared to everyone behind him.

Yao Ji was a Gundam that had mastered spatial skipping while Tina was extremely proficient at using spatial powers. If they combined their forces, there was definitely a chance that the Moonlit Night Monarch’s spatial seal could be broken.

All of the students knew they couldn’t do anything in a battle of this caliber anyway, so they quickly retreated into the distance.

“You have to be careful, An Lin, your life is your top priority!” Xu Xiaolan urged.

“I believe in you, Classmate An Lin,” Su Qianyun encouraged in her mellow voice.

“Big Brother An, we’ll wait for your safe return!” Miao Tian was trembling uncontrollably from fear, but she still mustered up the courage to yell with all her might.

An Lin didn’t turn around. Instead, he gave everyone behind him a thumbs-up.

His skin began to turn crimson golden, and his aura began to climb.

He possessed six Divine Flames, one Holy Flame, and the Fire God Mode. He could combine the powers of those flames, thus creating a power that exceeded the sum of the powers of his individual flames.

Boom!

The flames exploded.

An Lin’s entire body was enshrouded in a scorching ball of flames, as if he were a Fire God incinerating the night unleashed by the Moonlit Night Monarch.

The Moonlit Night Monarch completely disregarded all of the retreating students. Her target had always been the Evil-Slaying Sword in An Lin’s storage ring and that had not changed in the slightest.

“You are very powerful, but you’re still too weak compared to me.” Moonlit Night raised her proud head as she stepped forward, upon which she instantly disappeared from the spot!

Spatial skip!

The hair on An Lin’s body stood up on end as he was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of extreme danger.

In the next instant, the Moonlit Night Monarch had already appeared right in front of An Lin, and her moonlight scythe slashed toward An Lin’s waist at a terrifying speed!

An Lin activated his Divine Inspection Technique and only just managed to capture the trajectory of the Moonlit Night Monarch’s attack. He blocked the scythe blade with one hand while his other hand clenched into an almighty fist that he launched toward the Moonlit Night Monarch!

The crimson golden fist hurtled forward with explosively, making the space around it twist and warp. The air was flattened and liquefied for several kilometers from the overwhelming power behind the fist.

Moonlit Night’s expression shifted minutely, and a full moon flashed before her eyes as she dodged her head to the side in the last moment in order to evade An Lin’s fist.

The blade of her scythe slashed open An Lin’s arm, and blood splattered through the air.

At the same time, An Lin’s other fist landed on her.

Boom!

An earth-shattering boom erupted.

The explosive power behind the fist erupted forth in a radius of close to ten kilometers, fracturing the earth below and uprooting countless trees, which were then reduced to sawdust by the violent and destructive gale-force winds.

The Moonlit Night Monarch’s hair was lifted by the power behind An Lin’s fist. Even though she evaded the punch, her body was still blasted flying for over a kilometer just from the terrifying shockwaves alone!

After their first exchange, it appeared that neither of them had gained an advantage.

But that was not actually the case.

An Lin’s hand was trembling, and a gash had been slashed into his left arm, from which blood flowed relentlessly.

Even though the Moonlit Night Monarch had been blasted flying for over a kilometer and her blood was churning a little, she had not sustained any injuries…

It was quite clear that An Lin had fallen to a disadvantage during this opening exchange.

F*ck! He almost had his entire arm amputated by that scythe…

An Lin looked up at the woman in the black dress standing in the distance, and he was struck by a massive headache. He did not know how he was going to be able to get out of this one.

The Moonlit Night Monarch had no intention of giving him any time to catch his breath, and her body disappeared on the spot yet again.

This was the most annoying part about facing an opponent who was capable of spatial skipping. If you weren’t extremely proficient at using the spatial powers, you wouldn’t even know where your enemy would appear or where their attacks were coming from.

An Lin activated the power of his divine sense to the maximum and also maintained his Divine Inspection Technique at the same time in order to allow him to react as quickly as possible to his enemy’s attacks.

However, he was soon dumbstruck again.

Four Moonlit Night Monarchs with the exact same aura and appearance had appeared in the air.

All of them were holding peerlessly sharp moonlight scythe, which slashed toward An Lin from all directions, sealing away all potential avenues for evasion and escape!

An Lin couldn’t dodge this attack!

This was the terrifying power of a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Stage who had attained the power of the divine dao. They simply had too much variety and diversity in their spell techniques, making them extremely difficult to defend against, and all of those spell techniques had the power to severely wound or even kill him!

“Sigh…”

An Lin heaved a forlorn sigh.

All of a sudden, an extremely dazzling light lit up the entire heaven and earth.

The Moonlit Night Monarch’s expression shifted.

Even the students who had retreated into the distance were all dumbstruck.

Xu Xiaolan murmured to herself. “An Lin, he’s… so green!”

That’s right, there was an extremely dazzling and rich green light erupting from An Lin’s body.

Immediately afterward, an even more surprising development took place.

The rich green light in the air suddenly materialized into a turtle shell, which enveloped An Lin’s body, leaving only his head and his four limbs out in the open.

That’s right, An Lin was now wearing a green turtle shell!

All of the students fell silent upon seeing this…

An Lin let loose an enraged roar, “Evading Turtle!”

His head and four limbs instantly withdrew into his turtle shell.

All of the onlookers: “…”

This Evading Turtle Technique was the core spell technique that Tian Chenji had bestowed upon him in the Fallen God Seabed Tomb. It was the spell technique she had taken the most pride in during her lifetime…

An Lin had once experimented with this spell technique, and he was dumbstruck as well after seeing the visual effect it created.

If it was possible, he really didn’t want to use this technique. However, he couldn’t think of any other way to defend himself against the Moonlit Night Monarch’s attack.

The Moonlit Night Monarch’s attack fell at this moment.

Four peerlessly sharp moonlight scythe blades crashed down upon the green turtle shell from different directions, upon which an extremely sharp screeching sound erupted!

The terrifying power of the moonlight divine dao surged through the entire night sky.

This was like a clash between the sharpest blades against the most resolute shield!

Crack…

The turtle shell finally showed signs of cracking open.

However, the Moonlit Night Monarch’s attack also ran out of steam at this very same moment.

The turtle shell had blocked the Moonlit Night Monarch’s attack!

An Lin was completely unscathed as he hid within the turtle shell!
