Chapter 860: Talons
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The Vermilion Bird had not expected its proudest two fire dragons to be so easily defeated by Xu Fan.Further enraged by Xu Fan’s provocation, the Vermilion Bird said with a fierce exterior but with an inner timidity, “Despicable human, you must have used some underhanded technique!”
“Haha,” Xu Fan laughed heartily, “Vermilion Bird, I didn’t expect you to even use idioms.”
“You….”
Feeling insulted by Xu Fan, the Vermilion Bird had barely uttered a word when it saw Xu Fan transform into a meteor, charging past it at high speed.
Xu Fan declared boldly, “Vermilion Bird, you have impressive strength, I permit you to be my mount!”
His voice boomed like a bell, echoing throughout the Valley of Nine Deaths.
“Ptui!
You arrogant human!”
The Vermilion Bird’s eyes blazed with fire, completely infuriated by Xu Fan’s words.
Flapping its wings and crying loudly, streams of flame rushed towards Xu Fan in an attempt to stop his advance.
“Haha, this kind of fire is only fit for grilling!”
Xu Fan sneered playfully, holding the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon in his hand, he unleashed red Sword Qi dozens of meters long, sweeping across the sky, instantly turning into a vast net of swords.
The fires of the Vermilion Bird were no match for the vast net of swords.
“Boom boom boom!”
When the Sword Qi collided with the flames, it created deafening explosions, accompanied by mushroom clouds blossoming on the horizon.
A battle of this magnitude was too much for even the sky to bear.
After a while, the sky was torn apart by black rifts.
In this exchange, Xu Fan clearly had the upper hand, somewhat overwhelming the Vermilion Bird.
Failing to stop the Sword Qi, the flames directly hit the Vermilion Bird, and sudden sword marks appeared across its body.
In just a short time, the aloof and handsome Vermilion Bird had become quite pitiable.
Its body was covered with over twenty sword marks, each one a shocking sight.
The most ferocious sword mark was on its left wing; had the Vermilion Bird not dodged quickly, that wing would likely have been severed.
Beneath the Vermilion Bird, the ground had long been stained crimson with its blood.
The beautiful feathers of the Vermilion Bird had either fallen off or been burned through, leaving holes.
The tender flesh beneath the feathers turned inside out, looking extremely horrific.
The feathers that fell to the ground created black, pitted holes instantly.
Even a single small feather or a drop of bright red blood had a temperature of several hundred degrees, much more than the ground could withstand.
One could only imagine the terrifying strength of the Vermilion Bird!
At this moment, the prideful Vermilion Bird finally felt fear.
It considered itself the ancestor of all who wielded fire, yet its raging flames, capable of melting all things, had no effect whatsoever on Xu Fan.
Moreover, the bodily strength of a demon beast is typically formidable, virtually impervious to swords and spears.
But in front of Xu Fan, it was as fragile as tofu, easily shredded into pieces.
This fear was deeply felt by the Vermilion Bird standing before Xu Fan.
It felt it profoundly.
Even now, the Vermilion Bird hovered in midair, looking down at Xu Fan with the same haughty aura.
But compared to a quarter of an hour earlier, it was like an entirely different Vermilion Bird.
Now, the Vermilion Bird was in a sorry state, even somewhat hideous, nowhere near the majesty of the ruler of the Valley of Nine Deaths!
But even so.
The Vermilion Bird did not bow its noble head; the noble blood flowing through its body kept it unyielding.
Far from begging for mercy or fleeing, the Vermilion Bird summoned all the power it had left, choosing to burn its Essence Blood as the price for its final stand!
“Human, I admit you are strong, having forced me to this point!
I swear, I must grind your bones to dust and burn you until not even ashes remain!”
The Vermilion Bird glared furiously at Xu Fan, yet its overall color began to change.
Previously, the Vermilion Bird was enveloped in bright red flames, but now its flames had dimmed, eventually turning pale yellow.
In the blink of an eye, the color of the fierce flames enveloping the Vermilion Bird had turned to a ghastly pale white.
It seemed that a mere breeze could extinguish the barely visible color on the Vermilion Bird’s body!
If you thought the Vermilion Bird was finished at this point?
Then you would be hugely mistaken, terribly mistaken!
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird was several times more formidable than at the beginning.
This was a secret technique exclusive to the Vermilion Bird lineage…”the Burning Essence Blood.
It could only be sustained for a maximum of fifteen minutes, during which its strength would multiply, eventually reaching three times the peak of the Vermilion Bird’s power.
Essentially, the Vermilion Bird at this moment was an invincible being.
Similarly, the flaw was obvious: the duration was short, and afterwards, there would be a month of weakness.
Without facing a life-or-death situation, the Vermilion Bird would not resort to this secret technique.
But now, the Vermilion Bird had no other choice; if it didn’t fight to the death, it would surely lose!
Xu Fan raised an eyebrow and said lightly, “Oh, ready to fight to the death?
Quite ruthless!”
With Xu Fan’s discerning eye, he naturally recognized that the Vermilion Bird was using a secret technique to forcibly boost its power.
But such a tactic, while a fatal move against others,
Merely indicated to Xu Fan that the Vermilion Bird still had something up its sleeve.
“Whoosh!”
Enshrouded in the ghastly white color, the Vermilion Bird transformed into a streak of white light, rushing towards Xu Fan at high speed.
The Vermilion Bird’s speed was already extremely fast, and now it was more than twice as fast as before!
Its claws, with a cold gleam, aimed straight for Xu Fan’s head.
Obviously, it intended to tear Xu Fan’s head to shreds.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
Unafraid, Xu Fan’s lips curled into a smile, and he bellowed loudly.
He immediately channeled the Primal Indestructible Skill to its limit, and in an instant, a faint golden light emanated from his body, making him appear profoundly mysterious.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the golden light on Xu Fan’s body consisted of intricate and complex characters flowing around him.
At this time, Xu Fan’s skin was crystal clear, like the finest of gemstones.
The space around Xu Fan began to distort, eventually showing signs of collapse.
A series of piercing sounds reverberated, penetrating the eardrums and continuously reverberating.
The third stage of the Primal Indestructible Skill…”Lustrous Jade Body!
“Clang!”
The Vermilion Bird’s claws had already closed in on Xu Fan, and only then did Xu Fan extend his right hand in a leisurely fashion.
A thunderous explosion was heard, sounding like the collision of impregnable steel.
Sparks flew in every direction, burrowing into the ground and leaving pits in an instant.
“What!?”
The Vermilion Bird was dumbfounded, staring in shock at Xu Fan’s right hand.
The Vermilion Bird, now at its strongest state, possessed a pair of claws sharper than any divine the world.
Even the Divine Swords of the Sword Heaven Sect would shatter into pieces under the Vermilion Bir: this moment.
Such terrifyingly sharp claws were unexpectedly blocked by Xu Fan with a single hand, as if it we
