Chapter 1711: Ao Yans Revenge
Ao Yan's venomous words, his voice seething with fury and dripping with resentment, caused Zhen Linshuang's proud expression to twist with rage. She clenched her fists tightly, creating terrifying ripples of power that shattered the void.
"Ao Yan, you're courting death!" Zhen Linshuang said, her voice bone-chilling and overflowing with murderous intent. Clearly, Ao Yan's words had been incredibly offensive to her, crossing her bottom line.
Ao Yan, however, completely ignored her threat. Instead, he walked towards her slowly. "Let's see how long you can continue talking big."
Zhen Linshuang gritted her teeth and threw a punch that caused the void to shake. Just as the destructive force was about to condense completely, a dark red flame surged from within her body. The flame contained a strange force that started to erode her body from the inside, causing her to feel extremely hot and as though her blood was boiling. Countless dark red runes emerged her fair skin, as though they were chains locking her up.
Zhen Linshuang let out a pained moan as her body feverishly burned. The flames left her powerless, unable to unleash the heaven-defying power of a peak Triple Crowned Heavenly Dragon. As a result, the void merely rippled in the face of her strike. Her sharp and condescending expression turned ugly as she furiously stared into the sky, glaring at the giant eye that resembled a moon. If looks could kill, her fury would have shredded that object into tiny pieces.
Ao Yan was overcome with joy when he saw how pitiful Zhen Linshuang looked. This was the look he had been wanting to see on her face for years; he had even dreamed of this moment.
"Chieftain, it is pointless to resist. I've endured humiliation and hardship for countless years, so how could I possibly give you a chance to turn things around? You've absorbed far too much corrupted Ancestral Blood, and the Poison of Lust is already rooted deeply within you. The Desire Devil King of Sin refined it specially for you, just so this plan could be executed perfectly. The Poison of Lust incites the Devil Flames of Desire, which are very effective at curtailing one's physical strength. The more you attempt to rouse your Heavenly Dragon strength, the stronger the flames will become, until you're completely submerged in insanity," he said.
"So stop resisting," said Ao Yan as he crouched down before her. Then he stretched his black scale-covered hand out and cupped Zhen Linshuang's fair chin.
Zhen Linshuang glared at his hand with a savage gaze and spitefully bit her own tongue. Ignoring the searing pain, a stream of Heavenly Dragon blood essence shot out of her mouth and turned into a violet-gold arrow that flew towards Ao Yan's head with unimaginable speed.
The sudden killing move left Ao Yan in shock. However, he had never dropped his guard down—he roared and quickly expanded his body. Bang! The violet-gold arrow ended up piercing his chest instead of his head. The void shattered as a result, and he was sent flying miserably. A hideous, bloody hole was left in his chest, revealing internal organs that were ravaged by the power of the arrow.
After crashing into the altar, Ao Yan spat out a mouthful of blood as his eyes were distorted and filled with pain. Gradually, he picked himself up. When he stood up, the flesh on his chest began to wriggle and knit together, demonstrating his extreme resilience. Although his body was nowhere near as durable as Zhen Linshuang's, a peak Triple Crowned King's body couldn't be underestimated.
"How painful. I was almost killed by you," said Ao Yan with a calm smile. He had never expected such frightening retaliation from someone in such a dire situation. That said, the more Zhen Linshuang roused the power of her Heavenly Dragon bloodline, the heavier the price she would pay.
Indeed, after shooting out that single blood arrow, her body started to tremble violently and dark red flames surged out of every pore on her body. The pain that followed caused her to shrivel up in agony, barely able to move. With her cultivation level and strength, there were few in the world capable of restraining her. Alas, her opponent had to be the Desire Devil King of Sin.
