Chapter 1278: Flame whipTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the moments of a few breaths, Eve Litt completely controlled the battlefield. Similar energy meant complete dominance for her. All flame energy on stage belonged to her; it would not be possible for Lie Xin to obtain even a tinge of flame energy.

The same attribute, and complete dominance, was the reason why Lin Feng had sent Eve Litt to battle. Everyone knew that Lie Xin’s flame level was higher, but what a pity, levels did not determine everything – there needed to be a certain quant.i.ty.

The Knight of the Holy Light was shrouded in azure flames, and its laser sword started burning, channeling substantial amounts of azure flames.

Lie Xin took a deep breath. The surface of the mech started to burn with Flames of the Blazing Angel. As it was not possible to harness energy from the outside, Lie Xin could only draw it from her own body. Since the birth of Ability X, the energy and capacity of human bodies was limited.

Eve Litt smirked. This type of ancient art energy was indeed incredible, but today, she would defeat it.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

The laser sword in her hand exploded three times and suddenly grew to an azure flame whip about seven to eight meters in length.

As a flame user, high level flames could easily suppress low level ones. Eve Litt was indeed unable to use Flames of the Blazing Angel, but the azure flames she possessed were limitless, while Lie Xin… how long could she last?

s.h.i.+ng… Bish… Boom…

The flame whip swept across, and the Real Steel quickly evaded it. The ground split open. The engineers had given up, they could not have built the whole arena using the strongest alloy. Since it was the last match, it was up to the compet.i.tors to destroy it.

The flame whip danced in the air, making waves of flames, and the arena was filled with Eve Litt’s flame energy. Lie Xin tried to close the distance a few times, and each time she was forced back by the flame whip. At the same time, she needed to maintain her Flames of the Blazing Angel, or she would be enveloped by the opponent’s azure flames in an instant.

Boom, boom, boom…

Under the dancing whip, Lie Xin had no choice but to dodge. The good thing about ancient martial arts families was that they were familiar with various melee weapons. However, the opponent seemed to be familiar with her flame whip, and it was not an impromptu choice.

If this continued, it would not be good. Lie Xin knew that she needed to get closer, even if it came at a cost.

Bang…

Another strike of the flame whip landed. Lie Xin’s mech was forced to the energy protective wall. Her Flames of the Blazing Angel were able to protect her from the azure flames, but they were not enough for her to break through.

This was Aslan’s strategy!

Bang…

Lie Xin charged forward. The Real Steel’s functionality was relatively good; it was flexible enough as it was made for physical techniques. Its strongest suite may not be speed, but the mech’s sensitivity and maneuverability were first cla.s.s. Lie Xin’s Real Steel evaded the flame whips, and while evading, she was observing the opponent’s moves. Any form of attack followed a rhythm – this was the basis of an ancient martial arts fighter.

Bang, bang, bang… Bang, bang, bang … Rumble, rumble, rumble…

The three continuous strike missed. Esing the protection from Flames of the Blazing Angel, Lie Xin managed to reach the opponent

Kill!

At the sound of an explosion, Lie Xin struck. The mech’s fists, burning with white flames, punched towards the opponent.

Lie family——Flaming Tyrant Strike!

The Real Steel blasted the flame whip away, and this time it was a direct hit. The burning flames shuddered, followed by an explosion. The waves echoed through the arena. From the explosion, the Knight of the Holy Light was blasted away, followed by the mech being pierced, and an uppercut led to a series of continuous attacks.

Suddenly, the Real Steel became a flame devil, bombarding her opponent. The longer the weapon, the stronger it was. The Lie family was the most proficient in fist fights, or you could say barehanded fights. There was no better weapon than both fists.

Lie Xin’s furious blows caused her supporters to go completely insane. This was a moment the Martians had been awaiting for too long. The Martians would do anything for strength, which was the same for Arbiter, but it was a pity that it had been a long time since they had a taste of victory, and such an arrogant aura.

The Martians’ hearts were with Lie Xin, and wished that Lie Xin could knock out the opponent with one punch.

The Knight of the Holy Light could only defend. The people of Aslan were uneasy – who knew how many years it had been since such a frightening battle had occurred. What was going on???

When had the Saruman Snake battle team become so strong? Other than w.a.n.g Zheng, it was thought that the rest could not make it. What exactly was going on?

Eve Litt, the strongest female fighter in Aslan, was unable to even retaliate?

Was today Aslan’s doomsday?

Even the people of Aslan, who were usually confident, had doubts, while the heads of other countries were smiling and conversing. It was clear that everyone was happy to see this happen. Since all of them had lost, it would not be good for them if Aslan won. At least now, there was hope for Saruman Snake to win. If they lost to the victor, it would feel better.

Si Jiali’s expression was slightly dark. She did not know what to say – this was not supposed to happen. Saruman Snake had won in the past, but not with such a huge margin. How could this be happening?

This time, Jondi Lilick shook his head. “Seems like compet.i.tor Lie Xin intends to defeat the opponent in one go. But she might be too naive – Eve Litt is not that weak.”

Even Jondi Lilick could tell that with Eve Litt’s level, it should not be so easy for Lie Xin to get close. Since she had managed to break through, it meant that Eve Litt had intentionally let her through. There was no such thing as coincidence for fights at this level – that was a naive way of thinking.

The reason had to be that Eve Litt wanted to deplete Lie Xin’s Flames of the Blazing Angel.

Indeed, everyone gradually understood what was going on. With the virtual video zooming in, they could see that Eve Litt’s defense was stable and that even though the azure flames were a level lower, the quant.i.ty of flames was much greater. Most importantly, the Knight of the Holy Light’s energy s.h.i.+eld and Ability X, when used together, formed excellent defense. The flame s.h.i.+eld was able to defend well against flame attacks, and the s.h.i.+eld was made of azure flames.

Bang…

Finally, Eve Litt retaliated. A forward s.h.i.+eld strike pushed Lie Xin away, then the flame whip drew a curve and lashed out.

The Real Steel tumbled to dodge, but at the same time, there was distance between them.

A series of fierce attacks did not affect either compet.i.tor’s stamina. The problem was that Lie Xin’s Flames of the Blazing Angel could no longer sustain themselves. Meanwhile… Eve Litt had just begun to warm up. The gap between them was far too great.

After seeing Achilles’ wild performance in the first match, those that placed their hopes on Lie Xin felt their hearts sinking. Things seem to be going badly.

Eve Litt took out a second laser sword. s.h.i.+ng… another azure flame whip appeared. The two whips drew a beautiful curve in the air.

Everyone felt a chill down their spines.
