Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 194 - Much Stronger
Except for Bing Xueyu and Bing Xinhai, the others were wary as Yun Lian stepped out of the already shattered barrier while emitting a murderous aura. His all-red appearance coupled with the blood-red Qi made him look even scarier than before.
The one who first reacted was Wang Bei. His face did not show any fear, as he felt that his affairs with Yun Lian were not finished yet. He wanted to avenge the death of Xiao Hei, the ape demon who became one of his beloved demons.
"Before you can take their lives, it's your life that I take first."
Yun Lian glanced briefly. "I have nothing to do with you."
"Don't pretend to forget, Devil Girl!" Wang Bei was angry. "Xiao Bai, finish him off!"
Xiao Bai, that lion demon roared loudly, stirred up a shockwave, then spouted out a huge flame. Yun Lian took one long leap back.
Xiao Bai reduced the distance between them while attacking the girl. However Yun Lian's agile movements made her able to dodge all attacks. And after five evasions, Yun Lian landed a hard punch that hit the lion's stealth neck.
Xiao Bai spewed out fresh blood before bouncing far into the other side of the meeting building wall.
"Xiao Bai!" Wang Bei let out a loud scream. He immediately ran up to Xiao Bai and made sure the lion demon could still survive. Wang Bei did not want to lose his other beloved demon anymore.
Yun Lian's gaze was fixated on Ji Wentian and Shen Qi repeatedly, having absolutely no intention of letting go of her target.
Yun Lian came to a standstill as a pair of twins, Huo Li and Huo Lin blocked her path.
"I don't know you guys. Please move. I only deal with two people there."
Huo Li and his twin sister Huo Lin stared intently at Yun Lian.
"I don't care who you're dealing with. My mood was bad from the beginning and it got worse because of your presence. At least I can make the impingement material."
Huo Lin's hands were layered in flames, then he carried out an attack on Yun Lian. The red-faced girl was able to dodge Huo Lin's attack without any significant difficulty, before giving a counterattack.
A few deadly Yun Lian attacks could Huo Lin avoid, but in the end he was forced to lose after receiving three attacks.
One of the attacks left him quite seriously injured, making him bounce back. Huang Mingzhu managed to capture his body before falling to the ground.
“Saudari Huo..”
Huo Lin's face turned pale and blood flowed out from the edge of his lips. Huo Lin had difficulty speaking and could only grimace in pain.
From the very beginning, at the time of dealing with the lion demon Wang Bei, Yun Lian had already used her full strength. So that he was able to injure Xiao Bai and Huo Lin easily in a short period of time.
Huo Lin's rapid defeat left the others shocked. Huo Li also did not stay silent and immediately reacted.
"Don't think you can do anything. I won't hold back even if you're a woman!"
Yun Lian did not respond. Huo Li emitted a powerful Qi from all over his body, both of his hands were coated by flames that were hotter than the flames Huo Lin had used before. Both Yun Lian and Huo Li attacked and evaded each other, until on one occasion the two sites met.
There was a loud sound caused by the two sites clashing together, followed by a shock wave that shook the meeting room.
"Dodge!"
"The situation's getting messy." Bing Xueyu complained as she shook her head slowly looking at the fight of Yun Lian and Huo Li.
The treads of Yun Lian and Huo Li still continued to stick. The two of them clashed against each other on the level of Qi strength. Yun Lian still looked relaxed, while Huo Li's face looked tense and flushed with prominent veins.
After pouring more Qi into his palm, Yun Lian managed to force Huo Li to be thrown back a few steps.
Huo Li's entire body was as if screaming in pain, especially the organs in his body. Unable to resist, Huo Li spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“You are not my match at all. You better stop interrupting before you get killed.”
Yun Lian's warning did not make Huo Li retreat. “You said as if you could kill me..” Huo Li formed a hand spell. The Qi throughout his body slowly formed shields and fireballs. “Instead, I will burn you to ashes!”
Yun Lian looked at those fireballs. "Your fire is not hot enough to burn me to ashes."
“You will regret your words!”
Huo Li moved forward attacking along with his fireballs.
***
The sound of explosions emanating from the scene of the fight Yun Lian and Huo Li sounded out to each other. Ji Wentian and the others watching from a distance showed worried faces.
Huang Mingzhu asked Shui Hua to temporarily guard Huo Lin, then she approached Ji Wentian.
“Wentian, Brother Huo can't last much longer. That girl could have killed him.”
Ji Wentian frowned. “You said the girl was strong. Yet Brother Huo is from a ten-star sect, he should be able to compensate for it, even win against it.”
Huang Mingzhu denied the statement because Yun Lian and Huo Li were both from ten-star sects. There are several things that make the two balanced with each other, except in terms of strength and fighting experience. Plus, mostly in the black sect, almost every member was often involved in life-and-death situations, so their fighting abilities were highly trained.
“Then what do you think? I have to help him?”
“Let's know, the girl obviously hates every member of the Sky Mountain Sect and the Sacred Sword Sect. He did intend to kill us, but don't be rash either. Huang Mingzhu wanted to say to them to see the situation further, but was cut off because of the loud noise.
A huge explosion suddenly occurred which created a large hole in the roof of the meeting room. From that hole, Yun Lian and Huo Li appeared who continued the fight on the roof.
It was obvious that Huo Li was having trouble breathing, the opposite of Yun Lian who was still calm and her breathing was still in order. From his condition, Huo Li seemed to have received a few attacks in a landslide, but not with Yun Lian who was still fine.
“He's that strong?!”
Ji Wentian as well as the others were shocked and could judge Yun Lian as superior to all sides in one look.
Huo Lin put on a face so bad that he had only first seen the terrible condition of his twin brother in a fight. The girl was hard to believe anyone could injure Huo Li when her twin brother used a high-level technique from the Star Fire Palace.
