Chapter 715: Phoenix Armor
No matter how the Phoenix True Fire surged, it couldn't break through the seemingly thin layer of protection and could only dissipate into nothingness.
Mei Gongzi's graceful figure weaved through the Phoenix True Fire; the Celestial Plume in her hand was like a streak of silver light, always striking from impossible angles, leaving numerous wounds on Cao Yuwei's body as it pierced through the Phoenix True Fire.
The sharp space energy caused Cao Yuwei to retreat step by step, forcing him to rely on the Phoenix True Fire's rebirth ability to heal his injuries.
The battlefield was clearly covered in Phoenix True Fire, yet Mei Gongzi had the upper hand in the fight, continuously forcing her opponent to retreat. Even though she wasn’t inflicting any real damage, just achieving this much was enough for her to feel proud. After all, she had been a Demon King for less than a year, while her opponent had been a Great Demon King for over a century!
With a crisp sound of metal striking metal, the Celestial Plume in Mei Gongzi's hand sent her opponent flying backward.
Cao Yuwei now held a long saber in his hand—yes, he had drawn his weapon.
At the start, he didn't think he would need a weapon against such an opponent, but now he had no choice; otherwise, he was at risk of losing control. No matter how overpowered Nirvana Rebirth was, it didn’t come at no cost; on the contrary, it used up massive amounts of energy. Once his bloodline power was excessively depleted, it would harm his very core.
"I have to admit, you surprised me. But now, I'm going to go all out," Cao Yuwei said.
As he spoke, the Phoenix True Fire gathered around him like rivers flowing into the sea, and he retracted the Phoenix True Fire Domain. The blazing Phoenix True Fire condensed around his body, forming into a magnificent gold-red armor that covered him entirely.
Holding his saber, he gazed upon Mei Gongzi like a blazing god.
Mei Gongzi did not pursue, standing at a distance, slightly calming her excited emotions.
Although the battle hadn't lasted long, her emotions were becoming increasingly intense.
She wasn't sure if she could truly hold her own against an Immortal Flame Phoenix Great Demon King. Her only confidence came from the support Tang San had given her.
As the battle continued, when she actually began suppressing her opponent, and with the protection of the Rainbow Skyfire Liquid shielding her from the Phoenix True Fire, she knew that she could truly do it.
Over the past six months, Tang San had taught her many combat techniques, all perfectly suited for her. For instance, his White Tiger and Netherworld Civet friends’ techniques, as well as the Sidereal Sword she had just used to almost chop off Cao Yuwei's finger.
However, even the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor hadn't expected Mei Gongzi to grow at such a rapid pace. In just over half a year, not only had she successfully passed her tribulation, but she was also able to contend with a first-tier bloodline Great Demon King. The stronger the abilities she displayed, the more threatened the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor felt, and this threat had now risen to a new level.
The war saber in Cao Yuwei's hand gleamed with a dazzling golden-red light, and his entire being exuded a chilling killing intent. He stepped forward and swung his blade.
The air twisted violently, and the blazing sword intent directly enveloped Mei Gongzi. Once again, it was brute force against finesse.
Mei Gongzi's expression remained unchanged as she took a step forward and unleashed another Mysterious Circles of Heaven.
The powerful strike of the war saber was once again deflected to the side.
All the top-tier experts present could see that the technique Mei Gongzi was currently using was an absolute peak-level one even among divine techniques. Her opponent's power was clearly far greater than hers, yet he couldn't break through her formidable defense.
However, no one questioned the origin of this ability; they all knew the Peacock Demon clan's greatest divine technique was Star Shift, and this looked very much like a derivative of Star Shift.
After deflecting Cao Yuwei's attack, Mei Gongzi did not rush to counterattack but simply stood still.
Cao Yuwei frowned slightly. Was this young girl's perception really that sharp? With his flame armor on, he had a number of techniques he could use. If Mei Gongzi followed up with an attack, he was confident he could use them to restrain her.
But Mei Gongzi didn't advance, forcing him to halt the ability he had been preparing to unleash.
He slashed out with his saber once more, the powerful sword intent even stronger than before. Cao Yuwei moved together with the blade, becoming one with it as he charged straight at Mei Gongzi.
Mei Gongzi's Celestial Plume once again executed the Mysterious Circles of Heaven, and with a short teleportation, she shifted her position.
She neutralized his attack while also breaking his lock on her.
In the next instant, she was on the other side.
The golden-red light wrapping Cao Yuwei flashed and vanished. If she hadn't dodged quickly, another ability would have undoubtedly struck her.
She’s trying to drag me into a battle of attrition!
