Chapter 357: Chapter 356: Fight to the Death
Seeing General Feng suffer the backlash, a cold glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes. He immediately opened his mouth, spewing a torrent of Black Flame to engulf his foe. It was the perfect chance to strike while he was down and finish him off!
This was exactly the effect he wanted. After browsing the system’s shop for a moment, he had finally settled on the Frenzy Elixir and the Bad Luck Divine Pill. Combining the two produced a tremendous effect. The Bad Luck Divine Pill, in particular, would absolutely give him an edge in a fight.
While not an absolute advantage, it served as a significant disruption. This was the best proof: under the effects of the Bad Luck Divine Pill, General Feng had immediately suffered a backlash, causing his Combat Power to plummet.
As the Black Flame swept toward him, General Feng scrambled to dodge. He had only taken two steps when his foot suddenly snagged on a tough vine, tangling him up. He fell to the ground with a THUD. A moment later, with a FWOOSH, the Black Flame engulfed him, setting him completely ablaze.
"AAAHHH...!"
General Feng shrieked in agony. The backlash prevented him from releasing his Spiritual Power, leaving him to rely solely on his armor for protection. But even armor required an infusion of Spiritual Power to activate its defensive properties.
Consequently, the Black Flame easily set him alight, searing his flesh and drawing out more agonized screams.
"GET OFF ME!"
General Feng roared and rapidly circulated the energy within him. A moment later, he finally suppressed the force of the backlash and unleashed a burst of power. With a BOOM, it exploded outward, blasting away the Black Flame that clung to his body.
Still, a large patch of his body was scorched, a ghastly sight. The Black Flame was naturally a counter to him, so its effects were devastatingly clear once he was ignited.
*SPLURT...*
After blasting away the Black Flame, General Feng violently spat out a mouthful of blood. Forcibly suppressing the backlash had already caused him considerable internal damage, and combined with burning his own Essence Blood, his injuries were now compounding.
In the next instant, Yi Tianyun swooped down to attack. At some point, he had already reverted to his human form. Now, he wielded the Red Dragon Divine Spear and wore the Red Dragon Armor and Red Dragon Battle Boots—a complete set of Sacred Artifacts!
"Ding! Successfully equipped the Red Dragon Divine Spear!"
"Ding! Successfully equipped the Red Dragon Armor!"
"Ding! Successfully equipped the Red Dragon Battle Boots!"
"Ding! Successfully equipped the Red Dragon Set. Gained an Attribute bonus of twelve times Strength and five times Defense Power. Attacks now have a chance to release the phantom image of a Red Dragon!"
"Ding! You can consume 5,000 Madness Value to unleash Red Dragon’s Roar!"
’The Red Dragon Set’s Defense Power is definitely far inferior to the Evil Dragon Set’s, but it has a significant advantage in strength. It’s at least a tier stronger, allowing me to boost my power even further.’
’The Evil Dragon Set truly shines in large-scale battles. Its massive body can handle more enemies, and its immense defense transforms it into an incredibly powerful tank!’
’I don’t need that right now. This is a one-on-one duel, and what I need is more power to kill General Feng. I have to take advantage of his injuries and crush him.’
"Ding! Consumed Gale Divine Pill!"
He then consumed a Gale Divine Pill, and his speed instantly multiplied. WHOOSH! His crimson-clad figure left a red afterimage as he shot toward General Feng like a spear.
"Perfect timing!" General Feng wanted a head-on confrontation. He thrust his Celestial Wind Divine Sword forward, but at the same time, two jets of Black Flame swept in from behind, catching him between two attacks.
He was forced to dodge to the side, but Yi Tianyun had already closed the distance, thrusting his spear forward viciously. His instantaneous burst of speed actually caught up to General Feng, who was stunned. ’How did his speed suddenly increase so much?’
As he closed in, he spent five thousand Madness Value.
"Red Dragon’s Roar!"
"ROAR!"
A red Giant Dragon roared out from within his body. It instantly opened its massive maw and spat a pillar of red light, forcing General Feng to swing his sword to defend. He sent a series of Wind Blades to intercept it, but the pillar of light wasn’t a normal attack—it was composed of pure flame!
The moment it made contact with his Wind Attribute, a damage bonus was instantly triggered.
THUD!
His Combat Power shot up to fifty-five million! ’It’s still a bit lower than General Feng’s peak Combat Power, but with him in a weakened state, things are different now.’
General Feng grunted as the flames slammed into him, breaking through his defense and completely engulfing him. Just as he was covered in the red fire, two streams of Black Flame enveloped him from behind. The two Evil Dragon Avatars at his flanks weren’t just for show; they had been relentlessly attacking him this whole time.
Their power was far inferior to Yi Tianyun’s, but they were by no means weak, each possessing power at the Spirit Pill Stage. Every extra attack counted, and he welcomed all the damage they could deal.
"I’ll kill you!"
General Feng roared as a dazzling light erupted from within him, blasting away the flames. His hair was a mess, and a dense web of glowing veins pulsed across his skin. He looked like he had gone completely berserk, unleashing every last bit of his power.
To think that after taking so many hits, General Feng could still manage a final, desperate burst of power.
Ignoring the attacks from behind, he charged at Yi Tianyun. In a flash, he lunged with his sword. SWISH! The blade sliced through the top of Yi Tianyun’s shoulder, sending a spray of blood flying.
’Good thing I dodged quickly, or that would have been a hole right through my shoulder.’
"You’re the one who’s going to die!"
Yi Tianyun’s eyes narrowed. ’Looks like the Bad Luck Divine Pill can’t control everything. Now, I have to risk it all.’ He raised his Red Dragon Divine Spear and charged forward, his weapon crashing against his opponent’s.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
After a rapid flurry of blows, a phantom Red Dragon suddenly roared out from the Red Dragon Divine Spear and lunged at General Feng. Its power wasn’t astonishing, but its strength lay in its suddenness.
BANG!
The ferocious blow slammed into him, making General Feng’s body shudder and his face pale slightly. But he didn’t retreat. Instead, he renewed his fierce assault, thrusting his Longsword with incredible speed. A quick succession of stabs and several Wind Blade slashes merged into a single beam of green light that lanced toward Yi Tianyun.
"Shadow Cloak!"
Yi Tianyun activated his Shadow Cloak without a second thought. ’Five seconds of invincibility! That’s more than enough time to unleash a lot of attacks.’
BANG! BANG! BANG! Three consecutive Wind Blades struck him, only to be absorbed harmlessly by the Shadow Cloak, inflicting no damage whatsoever.
General Feng froze. ’My attack had no effect!’
Seizing the moment while General Feng was stunned, Yi Tianyun lunged forward, putting every ounce of his strength into each attack. ’I have to bet everything on this. This might be my only chance to kill him.’
