Chapter 545: Chapter 544: Sacrifice Strike

In the VIP box, a tall man with golden-red short hair couldn't help showing a look of surprise when he witnessed the scene, and he muttered to himself, "So this is the method used to counter the Phoenix Fire Rain, quite novel. Xiao Lin, let's see how you deal with this."Without a doubt, the occupant of the box next to that of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was none other than the Patriarch of the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe, the Phoenix King, the Eternal Heaven Burning Immortal Monster Emperor—ranking third in the Tianyu Empire.

Initially, Ji Guanlin's stubbornness had truly infuriated him, so much so that he did not hesitate to expel his own daughter from the clan. But after all, he was a father, and Ji Guanlin's talent had been his favorite since her childhood. Otherwise, without his indulgence, she would not have developed such a rebellious character. It was too late for regrets, and the Undying Great Demon Emperor could only hope that his daughter might mature through the trials she faced outside of the clan.

This Ancestral Court Elite Competition was an opportunity for Ji Guanlin, but for the Undying Great Demon Emperor, it was a way to save face. Even though another heir had qualifications not much inferior to Ji Guanlin's, that person was not his direct blood relative. As a Great Demon Emperor of his generation, how could he be completely impartial?

After her experiences abroad, his daughter had clearly matured a lot. Though she had not broken through to God Rank, her accumulation was already quite considerable. For a descendant with extraordinary talent like her, the necessary grounding was very important. This benefited her future growth. As for that so-called Wind Dragon companion, to the Undying Great Demon Emperor, he was not worth much consideration. As an Emperor, why must one be limited to a single companion? What difference would it make if his daughter took other companions in the future? As long as she bore another direct descendant to carry on his bloodline, that would be enough.

Having reached the top sixteen, it was also a good chance for Ji Guanlin to truly show herself. Although the Undying Great Demon Emperor did not believe that his daughter could ultimately win the championship, as long as she could make it into the top four, it would suffice for him to step down gracefully. Then, he could simply bring her back, and he did not even wish for his daughter to win the championship because he knew her too well—if that girl won, would her pride not reach the sky? A moderate setback would be beneficial for her temperament.

Therefore, when he heard that their Dragon and Phoenix Combination had been defeated in the doubles match, the Undying Great Demon Emperor actually felt a secret delight. Failure demonstrated the Wind Dragon's inadequacy, especially since it was indeed due to the Wind Dragon being critically injured by a broken defense that they failed. This would inevitably cause his daughter to reconsider her thoughts about her Wind Dragon companion—after all, who knows a daughter better than her father?

He had come to watch the match today because he wanted to see how much progress Ji Guanlin had made after these years of hardship.

The eruption of the Phoenix Fire Rain, with its powerful offensive and control, thoroughly satisfied the Undying Great Demon Emperor. While it might sound straightforward to execute the Phoenix Fire Rain, it was actually extremely difficult. The most critical aspect was the abundance of the Phoenix True Fire, ensuring that each feather was coated with it, as the Phoenix True Fire is the core that pulls it all together.

What surprised him was that this human youth's strength was quite remarkable, with such a level of control over his flight that he was able to confront one of the most powerful abilities of his race in such a manner. This made the Undying Great Demon Emperor's expression somewhat unsightly. After this, when the flying Great Demon Emperors faced him, wouldn't they be able to mimic this method to counter his Phoenix Fire Rain?

Therefore, he now very much hoped that Ji Guanlin could deliver a heavy blow to Tang San, showing these creatures that the phoenix flames were not so easily broken through.

And in fact, that was exactly what Ji Guanlin did.

Facing Tang San, who was flying toward her, the huge wings behind her, which had expanded five kilometers due to the release of the fire rain, had now shrunk to a third of their previous size. But the golden patterns on her forehead were exceptionally bright.

From her eyes, the golden-red light pulsed, and her wings beat violently behind her. She didn't retreat; facing Tang San's onrush, and quite possibly a sacrificial strike, she chose to meet it head-on. Instantly transforming into an enormous golden-red phoenix, she charged fearlessly towards Tang San.

This put Tang San in a pincer attack—if he collided with Ji Guanlin, the chasing Phoenix Fire Rain would also engulf him. These flames, originating from Ji Guanlin's Phoenix True Fire, would not harm her in the slightest.

So, at that moment, Tang San was once again in an unfavorable situation. The sky full of golden-red seemed to have completely enveloped him.

As they watched, the two were about to collide. As the distance closed, what Ji Guanlin saw was the icy coldness in Tang San's eyes. Yes, no hint of panic, just sheer coldness.

This chill made Ji Guanlin shiver smartly, and his bloodline aura was momentarily suppressed.

In that instant, a burst of purple-golden light erupted from Tang San's eyes. The dazzling purple-golden light, as solid as it was, pierced harshly into Ji Guanlin's eyes.

It was an instant spiritual impact, an unavoidable attack.

Ji Guanlin only felt as if the Sea of Spirit had been whipped into a storm in an instant, and nearly half of his own flames dissipated momentarily. This had happened too suddenly and too intensely.

Tang San's wings flapped even more intensely, the speed never lessening. Taking advantage of this moment, he forced his way through and, almost in the blink of an eye, the two collided fiercely.

As Tang San rushed forward, he brought up a gust of wind, and for an instant, the Vigorous Qi around his body seemed to change color. While the purple-golden light in his eyes had not yet receded, he had already arrived in front of Ji Guanlin.

He circled his hands in front of him and a strange power burst forth abruptly, creating a void in front of Ji Guanlin right through the Phoenix True Fire. Then, with a powerful flap of his wings to propel himself while closing them, he penetrated the curtain of fire, his right palm aiming straight for Ji Guanlin's chest.

All of this happened extremely fast, and no one had expected that Ji Guanlin would suddenly lose control over the Phoenix True Fire. The distant spectators, including those in the VIP seats and even in the Emperor's private room, who had sufficiently strong divine consciousness, all felt the burst of powerful Spiritual Power from Tang San in that instant.

In that moment, his Spiritual Power was completely dominant over Ji Guanlin, also unleashing a tremendously fierce spiritual impact.

After all, Ji Guanlin was a formidable warrior. With the spiritual impact, the Phoenix Golden Patterns on his forehead rippled with golden waves, quickly stabilizing the Sea of Spirit. Even before it was completely stable, he had already launched his inherent Skill.

The intense golden-red flames burst forth, not outward, but inward, making his entire body burn fiercely.

When Tang San's palm hit the position on his chest, what he felt was incomparable heat. Even with the protection of the Yin and Yang Vortex and the resistance of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, he was still infected and invaded.

Of course, Ji Guanlin was also far from comfortable. Tang San's palm was not just infused with the Two Qi of Yin and Yang; it inherently had the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, and additionally, the silent Space Teleportation. Yes, after careful thought, Tang San had decided that if he must be discovered to have a third bloodline, then the spatial attribute would be the most appropriate. After all, he came from Jiali City, where Peacock Demon Clan resided, and he participated in the doubles with the Peacock Demon princess. The most reasonable explanation for having a third bloodline was the spatial attribute.

Therefore, as the opponent ignited himself, Tang San immediately activated the power of Space, forcibly transmitting the force of his attack directly into Ji Guanlin's body.

At the same time, his wings unfurled once more. He chose not to charge in like a moth to a flame but instead drew another circle with his hands, the Heavenly Circle.
