Chapter 878 The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms After
Chapter 878: Chapter 878: The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms After Snow Chapter 878: Chapter 878: The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms After Snow “I never expected that we would meet during the Nine Countries Talent War. I’ve never had the chance to spar with you before, so I wonder if you have become stronger since our time in Xuan Country,” Mei Yingxue said with a faint smile.
Fang Lin laughed heartily, “Compared to when I was in Xuan Country, I have become much stronger. Miss Mei should be careful indeed.”
Mei Yingxue nodded. The two did not spend much time catching up as this was the Nine Countries Talent War, a place to determine the victor.
Mei Yingxue opened the paper umbrella in her hand, which was still the Doomsday Umbrella she had used back at Hundred Beast Mountain. The surface of the umbrella was embroidered with life-like plum blossoms.
However, Fang Lin noticed that the Doomsday Umbrella seemed different from before, as if it had been recreated.
“Be careful,” Mei Yingxue softly warned as she sent the paper umbrella spinning toward Fang Lin.
Fang Lin did not dare to underestimate her. He and Mei Yingxue were old friends, and he knew her capabilities well. The Doomsday Umbrella was extraordinarily powerful and not to be taken lightly.
As the Doomsday Umbrella approached, a beam of light descended, threatening to envelop Fang Lin.
Fang Lin’s feet moved swiftly, immediately escaping the reach of the Doomsday Umbrella.
Just then, Mei Yingxue also made her move. Her figure flitted uncertainly as numerous plum blossoms emerged, assailing Fang Lin like a fierce rainstorm.
“Hm?” Fang Lin’s eyes narrowed. He had seen Mei Yingxue use this technique before, but the power she displayed this time was much stronger than in the past.
From this alone, it was evident that Mei Yingxue’s strength had also greatly improved since then.
Fang Lin utilized the Power of the Demon Bone, and instantly a dark light surged, covering his body in Kylin battle armor, protecting him.
Simultaneously, Fang Lin stepped with the Nine Heavens Step Skill, dodging the incoming plum blossoms and heading straight for Mei Yingxue herself.
“I already have a strategy to counter your movement technique,” Mei Yingxue said calmly, even showing a hint of anticipation.
The plum blossoms that Fang Lin had evaded suddenly dispersed, forming what seemed like a cage, engulfing him from all sides.
This hindered Fang Lin’s steps, and he would need to break through this barrage of plum blossoms to escape.
Without any hesitation, Fang Lin threw a punch, filled with boundless vigor from his qi and blood, trying to force his way out with brute strength.
To his surprise, the seemingly fragile plum blossoms held a mysterious force; even as they were repelled by Fang Lin’s attack, they constantly dissipated his power.
Rather than dissipating, it would be more accurate to say they absorbed Fang Lin’s power.
Fang Lin clearly felt the power in his fist being drawn away by these plum blossoms, causing them to flourish even more.
Mei Yingxue did not give Fang Lin many opportunities, knowing well his formidable talent. Now that she had the upper hand, she naturally couldn’t let her guard down.
The Doomsday Umbrella flew overhead, showering down light and exerting an even better suppressive effect on Fang Lin.
Without any hesitation, Fang Lin opened his Spirit Eye, using the power of spirit eyes to resist the power of the Doomsday Umbrella.
“Explode!” Mei Yingxue called out softly, and all at once the surrounding plum blossoms detonated.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed one after another, with powerful bursts of Inner Strength erupting, sweeping the vicinity.
And Fang Lin, at the epicenter, naturally received the greatest impact.
Fang Lin’s figure flashed, instantly breaking through the blast wave. His Kylin battle intent showed signs of disarray, but he was not harmed.
“Your Power of the Demon Bone has been cultivated to such an extent?” Mei Yingxue looked at Fang Lin, her eyes filled with amazement.
Fang Lin snickered and his power of spirit eyes surged wildly, forming a giant hand that reached out to grasp the Doomsday Umbrella.
Under Mei Yingxue’s control, the Doomsday Umbrella was extremely agile. The giant hand formed by the power of spirit eyes couldn’t touch it at all.
At that moment, Fang Lin launched another punch, the Kylin Fist!
Accompanied by the roar of a kylin, a black fist imprint howled out, permeated by the Power of the Demon Bone, the imprint surged with boundless might directly towards Mei Yingxue.
What Mei Yingxue dreaded most was Fang Lin’s Demon Bone. Seeing Fang Lin employing the Power of the Demon Bone, she immediately spurred her own demon bone within her body.
Hum!
A streak of blue light shone, and a phantom of a blue fox emerged, coiling on Mei Yingxue’s shoulder.
The appearance of the blue fox phantom made it watch the incoming Kylin Fist imprint with great wariness.
The blue fox let out a sharp cry and pounced directly towards the fist imprint.
Boom!!!
Fang Lin and Mei Yingxue’s expressions both changed, and their figures staggered backward in succession.
However, Fang Lin only took one step back, while Mei Yingxue retreated over a dozen steps, her chest still heaving violently.
In the clash of the Power of the Demon Bone, Fang Lin evidently came out on top. Even though the demon bone in Mei Yingxue’s body was also extraordinary, being the bone of a Demon King, Fang Lin’s was the Kylin bone, which was different on a whole other level.
“Shall we continue?” Fang Lin asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Although surprise flickered in Mei Yingxue’s eyes, her demeanor remained calm, without a word, nor did she give up.
Mei Yingxue slowly stepped towards Fang Lin, each step taken extremely slowly but also very steadily.
As Mei Yingxue moved, countless petals fluttered around her, as if responding to her presence.
The scene was stunningly beautiful, but it indicated that Mei Yingxue was using a powerful technique to determine the victor.
“This is my Heavenly Fragrance’s ultimate technique, named after the ‘Fragrance of Plum Blossoms in the Snow’!”
The ethereal and pleasant voice of Mei Yingxue resonated, as if it could disturb one’s mind. The myriad petals dancing in the air converged around her.
The fragrance of flowers was intensely shocking, and their force made Fang Lin’s expression change instantly.
The petals continued to multiply, and the force they formed became increasingly terrifying.
At this moment, it seemed that what was gathering around Mei Yingxue’s body weren’t fragile petals but edges capable of annihilating everything.
The most frightening thing was that this floral force was still elevating, having reached a horrifying level.
Determination filled Fang Lin’s eyes. Allowing Mei Yingxue to approach like this meant he would likely struggle to withstand this move.
Fang Lin made the first move, driving the power of his flesh and blood combined with all the strength of his Demon Bone to launch his strongest punch.
Back in the Wuji Battle Temple, it was precisely with this punch that Fang Lin had managed to fight Long Zhiming to a draw.
Now, as he executed this punch again, its power was even greater than before.
Boom!!!!
A wild aura, along with Fang Lin’s punch, collided with the terrifying floral force concentrated by Mei Yingxue.
This was a shocking confrontation, with both parties using their full strength to execute their ultimate moves.
Spurt!
Blood trickled down from the corner of Mei Yingxue’s mouth, her face carrying a bitter smile as her figure vanished from the spot.
Fang Lin retreated repeatedly, a trace of blood also on his face, sliced by the petals as they flew past.
