An Lin walked off the stage amid countless cheers.
It was now time for the Vermilion Bird Princess to fight a double-headed blue crow that was at the Soul Formation Final Stage.
An Lin joined the spectators in enjoying the Vermilion Bird Princess' battle.
This time, the Vermilion Bird Princess restricted her strength to the Soul Formation Initial Stage. Even though the blue crow had two eyes on each head, which meant that it had a total of four eyes, it was unable to see through her nimble and mysterious movement techniques.
The blue crow spat out streaks of corrosive blue light, all of which were evaded by the Vermilion Bird Princess.
As the Vermilion Bird Princess approached slowly but surely, the blue crow had no choice but to expend a large amount of energy to set up a large-scale attack. A type of blue liquid swamped the space around it, covering a radius of several hundred meters from it.
Splash!
The blue liquid engulfed the blue crow like a ball of water.
This liquid was insanely corrosive. Even a Soul Formation Stage soul beast would be eroded down to its skeleton if they were to come into contact with the liquid.
The Vermilion Bird Princess faltered in her footsteps with an exasperated expression."Oi! Fight if you're going to! What's the point in hiding like a turtle?"
The blue crow stared at the Vermilion Bird Princess with expressions of shock and horror on its two heads. A few pillars of blue liquid flew toward the Vermilion Bird Princess like a series of sharp swords.
The Vermilion Bird Princess evaded the attacks expressionlessly.
It was quite clear that these attacks were unleashed without any heart or application.
"Heh..." the Vermilion Bird Princess sneered.
The crow didn't dare to move anymore as it maintained its defensive technique.
The whole arena fell into silence.
The two of them faced off like that, without either one of them making a move.
The atmosphere felt like it was going to congeal from the tension in the air.
After a short while...
"You continue, I'm going to take a rest." The Vermilion Bird Princess yawned before constructing a hammock with her blue streamer and lay down on it before looking up at the blue crow with a leisurely expression.
All of the spectators were instantly disgruntled by this. It was a good battle, so why was it reduced to this state now? Many of the spectators were already hurling abuse at the blue crow, saying that it was a disgrace to all birds and that there had never been a coward like it in this arena.
As for why no one verbally abused the Vermilion Bird Princess? Well, she was so adorable, so of course everyone chose to forgive her!
The blue crow was extremely depressed. ?F*ck off! You aren't the ones on this battlefield, so you can talk all the sh*t you like!?
If it actually chose to charge in recklessly, it was going to f*cking die!
It hadn't given up hope! It wanted to win!
The blue crow was not on the defensive like this because it was a coward. In order to try and strike her down, it was trying to find an opening in the Vermilion Bird Princess' defenses...
A direct confrontation was impossible. It could only take her by surprise for a chance at victory and cut short her terrifying record of ninety-nine consecutive victories.
If it could kill the Vermilion Bird Princess, its reputation would soar to be the equivalent of a Sun Tree War God's reputation! Perhaps it would even be able to further advance its dao realm to progress to the Return to Void Stage.
It would then go to the Heavenly Court to find that An Lin in person and become the immortal beast revered by all!
That's right, this dire situation was only the first part of its glorious plan!
"Are you tired? Stupid blue crow?" the Vermilion Bird Princess asked.
A sly smile appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess's face as she lay in her blue hammock.
She stretched lazily upon receiving no response from the blue crow, and her curvaceous body unfurled itself as she swung her well-proportioned, beautiful legs, upon which her red high heels left the ground.
The blue crow's eyes immediately focused on this detail.
This was a great opportunity! The Vermilion Bird Princess appeared to be quite lax and her body had left the ground, so there was nothing to support her and help her change direction! This was the perfect opportunity to strike!
The blue crow was filled with excitement, and it was just about to attack when it suddenly experienced a cool sensation at the back of its neck.
"Hmm? What was that?" It tried to turn to look behind it.
Crack...
Splat!
The two heads of the blue crow tumbled heavily to the ground and blood shot forth like a geyzer.
Upon landing on the ground, there were expressions of shock and horror on the two heads.
It had woken up from its dream, only to be faced with the cruel reality. It hadn't even had the chance to strike...
Close to a hundred thousand spectators stared at this scene with their mouths wide open in shock.
They saw a sharp saber-like blue streamer extending into the blue crow's domain.
Right when the blue crow had its eyes completely focused on the Vermilion Bird Princess, the blue streamer had shot forth from below the ground at blinding speed.
"What just happened?!"
"It's the hammock! Look! The streamer extended from the Vermilion Bird Princess' hammock into the ground before stabbing into the blue crow's domain!"
"What an ingenious move! The creativity, imagination, and timing were all exemplary!"
"The Vermilion Bird Princess had used a display of frustration and laziness to attract the blue crow's attention before striking right when the blue crow revealed a chink in its armor! What a spectacular combination!"
"As expected of the Vermilion Bird Princess! She is surely going to be crowned as the Sun Tree War God tonight!"
All of the spectators roared with renewed excitement. They began to discuss spiritedly among themselves while giving their most enthusiastic cheers to the Sun Tree War God in their hearts.
The headless corpse of the blue crow fell to the ground.
The Vermilion Bird Princess stood under the limelight with a vibrant smile. The blue streamer wound itself around her left arm as she skipped around to interact with the audience again.
"Hi! Were you all shocked by my performance?
"Did you all like that battle?
"Don't you think my battle tactics just then were extremely adorable?"
The light of the setting sun shone down on her face, and her smile was bright and pure. For some reason, her smile was not out of place in this gruesome arena.
"Heehee... Do you all like the Vermilion Bird Princess?
"If you do, then shower me with praise! My hearing is very good, so I can hear every compliment that you give me!
"Hi! Friends in the west, where is your applause..."
...
An Lin silently massaged his brows at the sight of the energetic young woman.
What an adorable girl. He had been bewitched...
To be honest, An Lin would be able to slay a ferocious-looking beast with ease and with no hesitation.
But he felt like he would be unable to slay such an adorable young woman.
Perhaps it was because some things were too beautiful to be destroyed...
This was a world where looks were extremely important, after all.
A person who wanted to destroy all beautiful things was just a freak.
Any normal person would want to protect and nurture it!
An Lin calmed himself down, and his expression gradually became more determined.
Even though he was still unwilling to fight her, the fact remained that there could only be one survivor today. Therefore, he would have to be cruel for once...
After all, he was going to be the champion of this arena!
