Chapter 1990 - 449: Vermilion Bird Sword Technique
She achieved her current accomplishments through bloodline awakening and restructuring of her tendons and bones.
But Lin Yifan, it seems like he hasn't had anything like that?
She's getting more and more curious about Lin Yifan's identity. Such talent and such powerful martial arts are definitely not something an ordinary person can possess.
It's not just her who's curious; even the guards and important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom are very curious.
After returning from the last Secret Realm training, Princess Fire Lotus received the legacy of a significant figure, which greatly advanced her realm and strength. Yet, this young man matches her evenly. Since when did the World of All Things produce such an extraordinarily talented youth?
Watching the battle, Lei Ming was thrilled, but also deeply worried.
This duel between the two is a fight to the death, a desperate struggle, where any slight mistake could result in disaster.
Both of them are his friends, and he doesn't want anything to happen to either of them.
The Vermilion Bird Sword is indeed much more formidable than Lin Yifan's Seven-Colored Immortal Sword. This kind of divine weapon is inherently a level higher than an immortal-level weapon.
Under equal strength, when the two swords collide, the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword emits a resonant hum, while the Vermilion Bird Sword does not.
This hum is caused by the vibration of the sword, meaning Lin Yifan, who wields the sword, would feel the vibration their arm, with a tingling sensation.
This tingle is nothing significant for a martial artist; a few hits would get them through it.
However, in the long run, it's not easy to endure.
Currently being a bit oppressed by Princess Fire Lotus in terms of weapons, fortunately, the martial arts are still holding up.
But he felt that this was not all the strength Princess Fire Lotus had.
She might have a killer move in store, just not yet unleashed.
Princess Fire Lotus also knew that swordsmanship was not Lin Yifan's trump card; the Heavenly Thunder Pearl was. So, she would save her most powerful technique to deal with Lin Yifan's lightning attack.
After a while of fighting, both sides became tired and elevated their strength by one level.
Lin Yifan performed the "Shadow-light Sword Technique," while Princess Fire Lotus used the "Gale Fire Shadow" technique from the "Vermilion Bird Sword Technique."
Both sword techniques are renowned for their speed, but divine martial arts have their advantages. In terms of speed, they are always a notch above immortal-level martial arts, even if you have Immortal Emperor Martial Arts.
This battle was extremely arduous for Lin Yifan.
He had just approached Princess Fire Lotus when she vanished abruptly. By the time he reacted, she was already attacking from another direction.
This feeling of being outmaneuvered made Lin Yifan very frustrated.
He decided to use a killer move to determine the victor.
Taking out the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, he immediately unleashed Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, summoning lightning to attack Princess Fire Lotus.
Forcing Lin Yifan to this point, Princess Fire Lotus thought she might be the first person at the same level.
Feeling superior, she no longer held back and revealed her full strength.
Seeing that both of them still had reserve strength and could become even more powerful, the spectators from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, both guards and important figures, were astounded.
While they were pleased and gratified, they were also astonished that the young man fighting their princess could leap three levels.
No wonder the princess wanted to duel him; such opponents are really rare to find.
This might be Brother Lin's true strength; if he adds the array, in a real fight, even ten Princess Fire Lotus might not be enough to contend with him.
The Winged Fire Snake earlier was a perfect example; it was simply no match for Brother Lin's summoned White Tiger Divine Beast.
Lei Ming sincerely admired Brother Lin, finding him too powerful and practically his idol.
The Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, combined with the Thunder Spirit Pearl, led the guards and important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom to believe Lin Yifan was a cultivator from the Kingdom of Leizhen.
In the younger generation of the Kingdom of Leizhen, the most formidable wasn't the prince but an unfamiliar youngster, which truly surprised them.
They thought this youngster must be the prince's guard, otherwise why would he be following the prince of the Kingdom of Leizhen?
If Lin Yifan knew what the guards and important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom were thinking, he'd surely be infuriated.
As the acting Duke of the Kingdom of Leizhen, how could his status be lower than the prince, even if Lei Ming was the crown prince?
...
The offensive from Princess Fire Lotus was fierce, each sword stroke was deadly, leaving no way to survive.
At this point, Lin Yifan was no longer lenient, summoning five bolts of lightning to unleash a "Five Thunder Bombardment" on Princess Fire Lotus.
"Boom!"
Five bolts of lightning attacked fiercely together, and even if Princess Fire Lotus had three heads and six arms, she couldn't handle it.
Princess Fire Lotus felt the awe-inspiring power of Lin Yifan's Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries; if it weren't for her advanced swordsmanship, she might really not be his match.
Under equal circumstances, a general expert in the Great Immortal Fourth Realm wasn't Lin Yifan's match anymore.
This guy was indeed a freak, no matter what incredible legacy she received, she still wasn't a match for him.
Of course, she remains confident about her future.
If given two more years, and Lin Yifan doesn't change significantly, then in another duel, she would surely be the winner.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The continuous "Five Thunder Bombardment" left Princess Fire Lotus in a sorry state, suffering multiple injuries.
The important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom found it hard to watch.
The princess is the pillar of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom; their future throne is for her. How could they let anything happen to her?
"Puff!"
Not long after, the severely injured Princess Fire Lotus couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom became infuriated, pointing at Lin Yifan and angrily rebuking, "Bastard, how dare you harm our princess, pay with your life!"
"Stop!"
Princess Fire Lotus, with her face pale, endured the pain and gave a stern shout to halt her loyal and vengeful followers.
"Princess!"
The important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom couldn't understand why the princess, even at this point, was still protecting that guy. What was her reason?
"He and I are bonded as life-and-death companions. We have no intention of harming each other, so don't act recklessly," Princess Fire Lotus explained.
Her injuries were superficial; a few elixirs would heal them without much trouble.
"This..."
The sudden explanation left the guards and important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom bewildered.
So the duel wasn't truly a life-and-death struggle? It was all just a bout of friendly competition.
"Princess, are you certain?"
"Why would I deceive you? On the journey through the Desert Deep Cave and Red Lotus Secret Realm, if it weren't for him, I might have died many times over. He is my great benefactor and trusted friend, so don't make it difficult for him."
As Princess Fire Lotus replied, she turned her head to gaze intently at Lin Yifan, her eyes full of admiration and another layer of hidden affection.
Lin Yifan knew Princess Fire Lotus had feelings for him.
However, this admiring gaze, he had developed immunity to it and wouldn't be swayed by it.
The guards and important figures of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom seemed to catch another meaning, sensing the princess might have a different intention towards this exceptionally talented individual.
