Chapter 552 - The Awe-Inspiring Left Arm (1/2)
Three moves in advance!
The princes were stunned. This Cultivator Jiang was being so full of herself while facing Duan Qing.
The Third Prince frowned. Judging from her smug behavior, it was either she was being ignorant or extremely confident. It was obvious that she was the latter.
As the Third Prince thought, the Death Emperor was utterly confident in her strength.
He had occupied Jiang Bilan’s flesh and altered his destiny, allowing him to reach the cultivation of the Undefeatable Martial Dominator Realm. Furthermore, he also had the experiences from his past life. How could Duan Qing stand a chance against him?
He could even let him have ten moves—or twenty moves—in advance, let alone three moves.
However, he had no intention to be too high-profile.
“Three moves in advance?”
Qin Nan squinted his eyes. It appeared that the Death Emperor was only assuming him to be an ordinary Undefeatable Martial Dominator. He had yet to find out his true cultivation.
That being said, why would Qin Nan allow such a good opportunity to slip past his hands?
In the blink of an eye, Qin Nan reacted and yelled out, “As expected of Cultivator Jiang, whom the First Prince invited. I’m impressed. I guess there’s no reason for me to reject your kindness. In response to Cultivator Jiang’s formidable strength, I shall regard this cup of wine as an offering to the ‘Conqueror of Mountains and Rivers’[1].”
Qin Nan grabbed a wine cup and fired it without hesitation.
BANG!
The cup transformed into a Vermilion Bird that uttered a cry in a magnificent manner.
The surrounding princes were greatly astonished.
Such a marvelous move!
The aura from it was intimidating enough to stop one from catching the cup.
“A mere little trick!”
The Death Emperor wore a conceited look as she flung her arm. Countless dead souls emerged from her palm and transformed into a deadly illusionary claw that tore at the space before her.
The Claw of Death!
The place fell into dead silence as it appeared.
Whoosh!
Even the aura of the Vermilion Bird was weakened under the influence of the Claw of Death.
In the blink of an eye, the aura of the Vermilion Bird encapsulating the cup greatly dissipated, with only a tenth of its initial power being left. The Death Emperor grabbed the cup with ease without her figure being knocked backward.
“This…”
The eyes of the princes and geniuses were filled with astonishment.
Had Cultivator Jiang just nullified the incredible attack that easily?
How could she possess such a terrifying strength with a mere cultivation of the half-Martial Highness Realm?
“HAHA, good job!”
The First Prince burst out laughing energetically. His eyes scanned the crowd with a conceited look.
The Third Prince’s expression darkened as he clenched his fists.
“Duan Qing, that’s the first cup.”
The Death Emperor raised the cup in her hand and pinched it with her fingers, causing it to shatter into pieces while the wine it contained was spilled everywhere, as a way of humiliating her opponent.
“Cultivator Jiang, I’m impressed with your immeasurable strength. Sorry that I can’t match your expectations. Here’s the second cup!”
Qin Nan grabbed another cup as his aura changed tremendously.
“Let the godly fire spat out by the Vermilion Bird be transformed into a magical wine.”
Qin Nan spat out the Phoenix Soul-Consuming Fire. The flames flowed into the cup like a viscous liquid and merged with the wine, producing the Fiery Vermilion Bird Wine.
“The Vermilion Bird extends its wings and presents the wine respectfully!”
A giant Vermilion Bird was summoned from Qin Nan’s figure, which uttered a piercing cry before grabbing the cup with its beak. Following a powerful flap, it dashed forward in the Death Emperor’s direction with a magnificent aura.
Presenting the wine by lighting it up with flames!
The scene caused the hearts of the surrounding crowd to race rapidly.
It would be impossible for them to catch the cup of wine without being knocked backward. Furthermore, their flesh would be burned by the Fiery Vermilion Bird Wine after drinking it, resulting in a severe injury.
The Death Emperor raised her eyebrows while her expression changed slightly.
How nice of this Duan Qing!
The flames of the Vermilion Bird contain the will that was able to consume souls, which was useful in restraining the power of dead souls.
