The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 41: Explosion (1)

Mo Lan felt a heat spreading everywhere in her body. Each of his muscles felt roasted on the fire. Yet at the same time he could feel the tyrannical power dominating his body.

Spiritual tentacles slowly came out of his body and divided the smaller into hundreds of strands of living spiritual threads.

Those tame spiritual threads suddenly spread ferociously in all directions and left a burning trail on the floor. As if sensing something, those spiritual threads shot out in one direction above the air like arrows.

BaiLi Yun Hua glided to avoid any spiritual threads of Mo Lan, yet just like the previous events these threads acted as if they were truly alive and chased after her wherever she went. What was even more irritating was that this group of objects could somehow detect his existence even though he was now in a translucent state.

Just this fact alone was enough to make BaiLi Yun Hua realize that these spiritual threads were not completely moving under Mo Lan's control because the girl herself was unable to guess the location. Power that is not completely under the control of its users will have a greater negative effect compared to its advantages. No one knew when that power would devour its users back.

When one of the spiritual threads was about to hit BaiLi Yun Hua, the purple air around the young man immediately reacted and moved around his master. At the same time, BaiLi Yun Hua's illusion technique was also forcibly canceled and the young man re-appeared to everyone's sight.

As soon as Mo Lan saw BaiLi Yun Hua, her spiritual threads instantly actively attacked the young man with a relentless barrage of incursions and forced the young man to descend ashore.

Before BaiLi Yun Hua's feet even touched the floor, her already tense instincts shouted a warning alarm. He looked towards the coming danger and instantly performed a spontaneous salto in the air.

"Wow! That was almost. If BaiLi Yun Hua's response was a bit slow, he would be nailed by the giant sword!" li Qing Yu exclaimed with enthusiastic applause.

In the VIP room next door, baili Yun Xiao's group was a bit sweaty when they saw the scene where Mo Lan threw her greatsword with incredible speed towards BaiLi Yun Hua as the young man fell from the air. More precisely than those in the room, only BaiLi Yun Yi and BaiLi Yun Xiao were worried.

"No need to panic. After all the performances that BaiLi Yun Hua had played until now, we know that his instincts and reflexes were quite synchronous. He won't be so easily shot down," Yue Qing Ye said with a flat face that looked extremely apathetic.

"Yes, but still it almost hit," muttered BaiLi Yun Yi.

"Because this girl now will not take her opponent lightly. Especially after her younger sister stabbed BaiLi Yun Hua," Yue Qing Ye continued.

Yue Qing Ye from the beginning already had a premonition that BaiLi Yun Hua was unusual. Unlike BaiLi Yun Xiao who had a thick filter for this young man, he could not treat BaiLi Yun Hua casually. Not when he had always felt the child's hostility towards the BaiLi clan especially towards BaiLi Yun Xiao.

Perhaps now the hostility had subsided and BaiLi Yun Hua had already corrected his view and impression of BaiLi Yun Xiao, but no one could predict how the child would behave in the future. No one could give any guarantees after BaiLi Yun Hua grew his wings, he would not attack BaiLi Yun Xiao and the entire BaiLi clan.

"Silence slightly. The boy will be fine. Haven't you been training him for some time? He himself is confident, your time as his guardian is so pessimistic?" yue Qing Ye said to comfort her cousin and best friend.

Outside of the other people's worries BaiLi Yun Hua himself looked calm in the eyes of the audience, but in fact the young man was not calm at all. When Mo Lan's sword pierced towards him, he could feel his soul tremble for a moment. It trembled not out of alarm or fear, but it was just like responding as if something within the sword was being connected to it.

The two people spun around in the arena and left a trace of the fight no matter where they landed. Mo Lan's spiritual threads crept around the arena like parasitic tendrils while BaiLi Yun Hua himself had thousands of ice arrows ready to shoot each of those threads as long as they were at a certain distance with BaiLi Yun Hua's.

The more BaiLi Yun Hua came into contact with Mo Lan's strength the more he felt the pressure separating them as deep as an abyss. With Mo Lan surrounded by spiritual threads that were like those parasitic monsters, it was difficult for BaiLi Yun Hua to approach the girl with a normal approach while the Li clan formation deadline was near.

At one point when BaiLi Yun Hua was staring at her opponent, she saw a red speck at the corner of Mo Lan's lips before the girl used one of her great swords to slightly cover the bottom of her face.

It turned out that not only him, but the girl also could not stand it.

Right, Mo Lan could feel that her physical body was starting to degenerate. It shouldn't have been delayed all this time. He did not know why this battle that should be able to be completed immediately could be delayed for as long and as troublesome as this. His spiritual thread chased after BaiLi Yun Hua like a leech, yet every time it almost reached its target, the young man also always managed to escape.

The two of them were just circling around the arena.

BaiLi Yun Hua was unaware of Mo Lan's inner turmoil, yet in the second when she was about to dodge one of the group's usual spiritual threads, the objects exploded instantly.

Not only was BaiLi Yun Hua shocked, but the spectators outside the arena as well. The range of the explosion was not small and BaiLi Yun Hua who was closest to the position of the explosion was automatically instantly engulfed by the red flames.

However once the red flames were extinguished, a faintly dark purple glow surrounded BaiLi Yun Hua. The young man had an expression as deep as ink that distorted his face. Were it not for his aura protector, the explosion had almost burned itself into coke!

Before BaiLi Yun Hua could vent his anger, all of Mo Lan's remaining spiritual threads turned into hundreds of tiny balls of light that floated in each area of the arena.

BaiLi Yun Hua saw the seriousness and determination reflected from the girl's eyes and her heart slowly fell to the freezing point.

In the next second, all of those light balls exploded like fireworks and turned the arena into a field of fire.

"Bang!"
