Chapter 293: Defeat
The True Fire Flying Lion’s roar overflowed with delight, revealing its prior agreement with Jun Ruolan. Its earlier displays of weakness hadn’t signaled inability to defeat Ye Yun, but rather a ploy to lull the enemy before launching this decisive strike to eliminate him instantly.
The scheme succeeded perfectly. Ye Yun and the Divine Feather Vulture King stood nearly helpless against the assault. Though Ye Yun could resist the true fire, the vulture couldn’t. Jun Ruolan’s killing move had intensified dramatically – even if Ye Yun focused entirely on blocking the flames, he’d struggle to withstand her full-power strike. Should the true fire strike the vulture, death would follow regardless of Jun Ruolan’s attack.
The attack engulfed dozens of zhang, trapping the twenty-six criminals within its range. Jun Ruolan’s willingness to sacrifice controlled forces for Ye Yun’s destruction shocked all witnesses with its ruthless calculation.
"Ye Yun, watch out!"
"Treacherous witch! I’ll kill you, Jun Ruolan!"
"We must inform Master how Jun Ruolan’s transformed!"
"Fool – she wields Master’s Shadow Escape Talisman and bronze bell. This was all within Master’s plans!"
Disciples shouted helplessly as devastation loomed.
Standing atop the Divine Feather Vulture King, Ye Yun channeled true qi while pushing fire element laws to their limit. A transparent shield formed around him – but extending mere three inches due to his incomplete understanding of flame principles. Useless for protecting the massive vulture.
Then Ye Yun performed the unimaginable – leaping down to shield the beast with his body.
"Vulture King, flee! Kill Jun Ruolan when possible!" Purple long sword blazing, Ye Yun’s blade erupted with thunderous light-shadows. His aura suddenly surged to peak condition. Wild true qi coalesced into a giant ice energy crystal as flames roared skyward.
Fire and ice merged unnaturally, forming cold blue flames that shielded the vulture completely. "Go NOW!" Ye Yun roared, bracing against the converging attacks – True Fire Flying Lion’s physical assault and Jun Ruolan’s long-prepared killing strike.
The Divine Feather Vulture King’s eyes flashed understanding. With golden wingbeats, it soared upward as true fire crashed against Ye Yun’s shield. The Fire Flame Explosive Cloud and Ice Spirit Soul Lock spiritual weapons shattered under flame impact, scattering glowing fragments.
Then Jun Ruolan struck.
The Thousand Zhang Phoenix Silk – Grandma Feng’s mightiest spiritual weapon – briefly regained former glory in Jun Ruolan’s grasp. The silk ribbon smashed into Ye Yun’s chest like a rainbow-colored hammer.
BOOM!
Ye Yun hurtled backward, blood spraying from his mouth only to vaporize in residual flames. He crashed down dozens of zhang away, hemorrhaging copiously – more blood than he’d ever lost combined.
Jun Ruolan and the lion landed calmly. The flame beast studied Ye Yun’s struggling form with amused squint.
"Did you foresee this, Ye Yun?" Jun Ruolan’s gentle voice chimed like silver bells.
Ye Yun’s lips twitched into a bloody smirk.
At that moment, a golden light descended from the sky. The Divine Feather Vulture King transformed into a golden-radiant attack materializing above Jun Ruolan’s head.
Jun Ruolan finally realized her earlier attack had failed to injure the beast. It had avoided the true fire’s assault under Ye Yun’s cover, then used some secret technique to suddenly reappear above her.
Jun Ruolan’s pretty face paled. This development defied her calculations. She’d assumed Ye Yun and the vulture king would either die or sustain heavy injuries, leaving Su Yinxue and the others as easy targets.
What frustrated her most was sacrificing twenty-six criminals to burn Ye Yun – they’d turned to charred corpses in mere moments. If she still got injured by this beast now, it would be utterly worthless.
Though surprised by the vulture’s survival, Jun Ruolan remained Elder Shi’s prized disciple with life-saving methods. Under the golden light, her body abruptly faded into shadow.
BOOM!
The Divine Feather Vulture King’s strike landed where Jun Ruolan stood, only to watch her silhouette dissipate like smoke.
Shadow Escape Talisman!
At the critical moment, Jun Ruolan had activated the talisman again to evade death.
Ye Yun gaped. Such precious Divine Talismans shouldn’t be used twice so quickly – weren’t they single-use items? Yet Jun Ruolan apparently possessed two.
His gaze followed her reappearance behind the True Fire Flying Lion, now encircled by dozens of protective spirit beasts.
The vulture king didn’t hesitate. Wheeling midair, it lunged at the flaming lion. Without true fire attacks, it trusted its physical strength to prevail.
But the lion was ready. Fire erupted from its maw as the vulture closed in.
Though swift, the vulture matched the flames’ speed. Its claws raked the lion’s face, injecting destructive energy into its meridians. Blood sprayed.
This strike left the vulture exposed. True fire engulfed it, flames roaring upward as a dim golden barrier flickered weakly around the shrieking divine bird.
Ye Yun scrambled up, cramming pills into his mouth. Dozens of top-grade spirit stones shattered into vapor. He pushed the Little Absorption Technique to its limits.
"Heart of Immortals and Demons!" He mentally roared. "Absorb this energy and heal me! If I die, you perish too!" Earlier attempts to summon it had failed, but now…
The artifact manifested at his dantian. Violent spiritual energy flooded in, refined instantly into pure true qi that mended his five internal organs miraculously. Within seconds, seventy percent of his injuries vanished.
The True Fire Flying Lion roared. Blood dripped from its mauled face as it launched another fireball-charge at Ye Yun.
BOOM!
Freshly healed, Ye Yun stood tall as flames engulfed his vision. He punched forward, channeling all restored power into one desperate strike against the inferno.
