597 The Chapter of the Golden Victory (1/2)

In a flash, the red glow charged at Ye Qingxuan. But in the air, a buzz that sounded like countless wild bees flying rang out, as if innumerable wings are vibrating rapidly. The flames that swept towards him like wildfire was the most destructive form that the Firebird had evolved into.

Strengthened under Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, the Firebird caused the dragon blood in Mary to boil and took on an almost atavistic form of a red dragon. The extent to which Mary could control the Firebird also exceeded her past limit and achieved a terrifying level…

Ye Qingxuan's hair stood on end. Although it looked like flames, the substance was not burning, nor was there any heat. It was actually splitting matter up on the scale of the smallest particles currently observable by human science.

The school of modifications summarized the effect of the sound of wild bees flying as 'the ultimate decomposition', and no tangible material could be spared. Wherever the flames shrouded, everything would be utterly destroyed into nothingness.

Such was the most terrifying aspect of the dragon blood.

In a flash, the barrier formed by Holy shattered. It was set up again, then shattered once more.

Ye Qingxuan quickly retreated. He had no intention to test out whether the clothes of original sin could withstand the flames of the Firebird. If it could, it would still be his loss. If it couldn't, then the game would be up

At the moment, he regretted his b*tchy words a little. Regardless of the circumstances, a mad woman would always be more terrifying than a mad demon, let alone a mad female demon.

Ye Qingxuan could only feel a deep ridicule from fate. Trash talking is fun for a while, but look who the joke's on now? Had you seen it coming, why would you have said so much?!

As the dragon fire swept, a dash of red flashed across, and the tower of shields held up high by an armored knight quietly collapsed into a grayish-white cloud of dust, along with more than half of the knight's body. Half of the iron shell of armor fell to the ground, and blood gushed out belatedly, mixing with the dust that had piled on the ground and forming a pool of viscous slush.

Ye Qingxuan frowned, his free hand pressed towards the air beside him.

Nature interference.

The barrier of Holy rose from the ground and stacked in front of the knights, layer by layer, giving them a short window of time to retreat. At the same time, it trapped Ye Qingxuan and Mary inside. Behind Mary, the violent phantom of the red dragon turned its head, the dark and grotesque eyes looking at Ye Qingxuan.

The next moment, the dragon fire swiped at him. But at that very moment, Ye Qingxuan heard a hallucination-like sound. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. It was an almost indescribable low voice, like the roar of a beast, but it had a rhythm unique to languages.

Across the far distance, it rang in his ears, automatically guiding the changes of the music theory, which finally evolved into a speck of light. The light, with a dream-like radiance, disappeared in a flash. It seemed like a metal worn by time, with a texture visibly different from bronze, as well as black iron and silver.

It was a faint dark gold.

Its brilliance only lasted for a flash, like a sword swiping down. Although it was so tiny that it was difficult to detect, the raging dragon fire sweeping towards him disintegrated in front of the glow and rapidly dissipated without a trace.

Ye Qingxuan began to wonder if it was an illusion.

At that moment, what he felt... was Firebird? A Firebird as brilliant as gold?

As he stood in shock, the glow returned once more and approached Ye Qingxuan. Before it got close to him, it shattered into tiny flecks of light, then scattered over him.

”What is this?” Ye Qingxuan looked at his body, which was glowing faintly, yet to process the incident with his brain. The hallucination-like roar of the beast once again rang out in his ear, as if it was prompting him, Don't waste time. Compared to the sound just now, the roar sounded a bit weak, but even more familiar...

Not having time to properly think about it, Ye Qingxuan subconsciously took a step forward. The moonlight shook and swiped forward like a blade. As the cold moonlight swiped down, and the gravitational pull of music theory twisted the surrounding matter, and a roar burst forth.

In the roar, the red tide was split open from the middle and parted to the sides, washing over the domain of Holy and causing the barrier to disintegrate. Moonlight extended forward, flashing across the fire, and a shrill roar rang out.

Mary screamed shrilly, as a forbidding scar appeared on the phantom of the red dragon. Dissipating Firebird spewed out of it viscously, just like blood.

In an instant, the red dragon had been damaged badly.

Not only the stunned Mary, but even Ye Qingxuan himself had not imagined that his attack would be so powerful.

Under the shine of the light, the Firebird actually turned into a breeze? It's so smooth and simple that it's incredible…

”Grand Inquisitor, what is this new approach of yours?” Shi Dong's voice rang out in his ear. ”How come I have not heard anything about you possessing such a unique ability?”

”To be honest, I don't know either,” Ye Qingxuan said casually. ”But, as you know, I have a noble character, my purity is comparable to that of a saint, I'm more devout than the pope, and my faith is so deeply moving that even the heavens and the earth are moved, so God has finally bestowed charism upon me... Isn't it perfectly reasonable?”

Reasonable your ass!

Even Ye Qingxuan himself did not believe it.

”Look up.” Shi Dong sighed. ”Look above you.”

Ye Qingxuan was surprised. When he looked up, he saw that a halo had risen above him before he even realized it. The dark golden glow turned into a crown, blessing him, and dissipated any Firebird heading his way into nothingness.

What... is this! Ye Qingxuan's eyeballs almost popped out of his head.

Of course he knew what it was! He had seen the same signs on Bai Xi before. In the cemetery back then, Bai Xi strengthened herself with the movement taught by Hermes. It was as if she had God's mandate and could conjure up great powers, making her almost unstoppable.

Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1! The same Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 has been strengthening me since God knows when! The question is, who is strengthening me?

Who can circumvent my perceptions and music theory, and without seeking my consent, silently strengthen me with it?! It couldn't possibly be...? A ridiculous thought emerged in Ye Qingxuan's mind.

Soon, Shi Dong's prompt pulled him back to reality. ”Instead of fussing over it, you have to speed up.” On the Mountain of Nomadism, Shi Dong looked up at the sun of darkness hanging high in the sky. ”The Dark Sovereign's actions are getting faster and faster. It won't take long before he swallows up the whole of the shadow of Avalon...”

”I know, don't rush me!” Ye Qingxuan gritted his teeth, stepped ahead, and swiped at the tide of dragon fire.

The clothes of original sin changed, an exoskeleton system quietly forming under his robes. It attached itself to him and propelled him forward rapidly. In an instant, Mary was close at hand.

Mary looked up in shock and her eyes widened, reflecting the indifferent face of Ye Qingxuan. The sword of the moonlight was held high, and it swiped down at the crystal crown on her head.
