Honglian clenched her teeth when she heard Kaiser's arrogant words. Determination filled her eyes. Although she did not know Jianchen, she had to protect Jianchen no matter what to reunite with her clansmen who had disappeared for so long. Even if she ended up heavily injured, she would not hesitate to do so.
The Scorching Godfire Heavenly Hairpin that had been sent flying flew back into Hong Lian's hand under the control of her mind. Hong Lian's hands constantly changed in front of her chest, forming a series of complicated hand seals. At the same time, she called out, "Flying Flame Meteor."
As Hong Lian spat out those words, the Scorching Godfire Heavenly Hairpin in front of her suddenly erupted with flames. The hairpin that was only the size of a palm began to expand at a visible rate. In the blink of an eye, it had become a huge hairpin that was ten meters long. The flames burned on the surface.
Swish! With an ear-piercing sound, the ten-meter-long Blazing Divine Fire Hairpin turned into a streak of red light and shot towards the King with terrifying energy fluctuations. Its speed was inconceivable.
"Little phoenix, you're not my opponent. Don't fail to appreciate my kindness," Kaiser called out. He suddenly struck out with his right arm that had turned into a dragon's claw, sending the hairpin flying again. Afterwards, he ignored Honglian and immediately chased after Jianchen.
Jianchen had already vanished from Kaiser's sight. He had left the Cross Mountains and was rapidly approaching Mercenary City. Even so, Kaiser could still clearly sense Jianchen's exact location. He thought, "I can't let Jianchen go to Mercenary City no matter what, or it'll be troublesome."
"Your opponent is me. If you want to deal with Jianchen, you have to get through me first." Honglian's cold voice rang out. She controlled the hairpin to constantly attack Kaiser, obstructing his path.
Although the hairpin possessed origin energy, Honglian had not completely refined it, so she was unable to unleash its full power. As a result, she was unable to pose much of a threat to Kaiser. All she could do was stall him, preventing him from dealing with Jianchen.
Kaiser became filled with killing intent after being obstructed by Honglian time and time again. He roared out, "Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll obliterate you first." Kaiser's dragon claw was wrapped in tremendous energy. He directly sent the hairpin flying with a single strike. With a slight sway of his body, he instantly crossed several thousand meters and arrived before Honglian. He viciously slashed at Honglian's chest.
Squeak! The sharp claw rubbed against Honglian's Ninerefined Godfire Feather Raiment, producing an ear-piercing screech. Although Kaiser's attack was unable to destroy the Ninerefined Godfire Feather Raiment, the feather raiment that Honglian had not completely refined was unable to block the attack. Immediately, a force pierced through the Ninerefined Godfire Feather Raiment and struck Honglian.
Spurt! Honglian vomited another mouthful of blood. The roaring flames around Honglian dispersed from Kaiser's attack.
Killing intent filled Kaiser's eyes. He caught up to Honglian in a single instance and clenched his claw into a fist. He bellowed out, "Tyrant Dragon's Fist!"
"Bang!"
King's punch, which contained the power to destroy the sky and earth, struck Red Lotus, causing her to spit out blood. Her face was pale, and the Nine Refined Godly Fire Feather Armor she wore almost fell off.
Tyrant Dragon's Fist! Tyrant Dragon's Fist! The Tyrant Dragon's Fist …
Afterwards, Kaiser constantly attacked Honglian. He used the Tyrant Dragon's Fist eight times in a row on Honglian. The powerful force caused the sky to tremble.
After enduring King's storm-like attacks, Red Lotus's aura immediately became extremely weak. At this moment, her eyes were tightly shut, and she was on the verge of death.
However, at this moment, scarlet flames erupted from Honglian's body. They engulfed Honglian and set her ablaze.
"Ah!" A clear cry of a phoenix rang out from within the crimson flames. The crimson flames churned unceasingly before transforming into a divine phoenix that let out a long cry towards the heavens. It was extraordinarily mighty.
"This is the innate ability of the Divine Phoenix clan, Rebirth from Flames!" Kaiser's face immediately became ugly when he saw this. The main reason he didn't want to fight with Hong Lian was because the members of the Divine Phoenix Clan had the innate ability to rise from the ashes. They could rise from the ashes immediately after death and return to their peak state. They were extremely difficult to kill and were almost immortal.
The scarlet flames quickly dissipated, revealing Hong Lian's tall and slender figure. She gave off a vast and surging aura that was even stronger than before.
After the rebirth, Honglian's wounds had completely healed. She had returned to her peak condition, and her strength had increased by a lot.
The Divine Phoenix Clan's Rebirth from Fire ability could be used nine times in a row. After each Rebirth from Fire ability, their strength would increase by a few times. When they experienced the ninth Rebirth from Fire ability, their strength would increase by several times. However, this increase was only temporary and would not allow him to obtain this power forever.
"You can't kill me," Honglian stared at Kaiser emotionlessly as she spoke extremely calmly.
A vicious light constantly flickered through Kaiser's eyes. He snorted coldly, "If you were a Rank 9 phoenix, even if you've only just reached Rank 9, I wouldn't be your opponent with the ability. It's a pity that you're still at Rank 8. Even if you've been reborn nine times, you still won't be my opponent." With that, Kaiser charged towards Honglian. He struck out with his full strength, heavily injuring Honglian again and forcing her to undergo a second rebirth.
"I'll kill you every time you're reborn," Kaiser said through gritted teeth. With the Holy Emperor's strength, he was able to kill Honglian in one go.
Hong Lian's gaze remained calm. Every time she was reborn from the ashes, her strength would increase slightly. Very soon, she was about to undergo her third rebirth from the ashes.
Noticing Hong Lian's calm gaze, King suddenly had a bad feeling. He thought, 'It's rumored that the Divine Phoenix clan's Rebirth from the Ashes can be used nine times in a row. Then after nine times, will they die or …'
"I can't keep tangling with her!" The light in Kaiser's eyes flickered, and he quickly made up his mind. He struck out with his full strength several times in a row, heavily injuring Honglian after the third rebirth. Afterwards, he no longer remained. He merged with space and turned into a blur as he pursued in the direction that Jianchen had disappeared in. He vanished in a single moment.
Red Lotus was still in the process of being reborn from the fire for the fourth time. She could not stop King, and when she was reborn, King had already disappeared from her sight.
Honglian's face changed slightly. Without any hesitation, she immediately turned into a red streak of light and chased after Kaiser.
Jianchen was now with Houston, hurrying along with him. Houston was a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection, only a step away from the Holy Emperor. His comprehension of space was not something that Jianchen could match, so he moved extremely quickly. In just a short amount of time, Houston had traveled several tens of thousand kilometers with Jianchen. They were getting closer and closer to Mercenary City.
"Jianchen, you can't escape!" Kaiser's furious roar rang out from behind. He was several times faster than Houston.
"Oh no!" Houston's face changed slightly. Darkness-attributed Saint Force radiated from his body, and his speed immediately skyrocketed. He had already used a secret technique to hurry along.
However, he was still not faster than Kaiser. Kaiser caught up very quickly and stabbed his claw at Jianchen's back.
However, at this moment, a white streak of light shot over with unbelievable speed. It directly shot past Jianchen and struck Kaiser's claw with great precision.
"Argh!" Immediately, Kaiser produced a miserable cry. His claw that could fend off the Sacred Dragon's Sword seemed as fragile as tofu before the white streak of light. A hole was punched through it without any effort.
