Chapter 626, Phoenix Wing Strike

Translator: Silavin

 

The fire rain fell like meteors, instantly engulfing Lu Fan and making it difficult for him to escape. This was a large Area of Effect Skill with considerable power.

 

However, any Area of Effect Skill would naturally lack in power when hit compared to Single Target Skills—this was inevitable.

 

Facing this fire rain, Lu Fan naturally felt no fear. Eight chain hooks shot out consecutively from behind him, transforming into steel whips before him as they swayed, forming an impenetrable protective net.

 

Whenever fire rain fell and touched this protective net, it would be directly shattered, completely unable to harm Lu Fan.

 

Seeing her Skill miss its mark, Ning Shuan’er was somewhat surprised.

 

“You actually managed to block it? So, even without your Pet Dragons, you still have some capability, huh? I guess that makes sense. If you are not capable enough, you wouldn’t have survived until now.”

 

“But unfortunately for you. I’ve killed Level 100 Players with Transformation Type Professions here. You are nothing compared to them!” Saying this, the flames on Ning Shuan’er’s wings became more vigorous, burning the sky red.

 

“Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance!”

 

Following a delicate shout, Ning Shuan’er’s form transformed into a massive fireball, flying towards Lu Fan. Wherever she passed, flames spread everywhere.

 

Seeing this, Lu Fan thought to himself, [This Skill is similar to Xiao Ye’s Great Cataclysm. This should be one of Ning Shuan’er’s Third Profession Skills. But while similar, it lacked the power of Xiao Ye’s Great Cataclysm. Whether in terms of the power of her flame or the temperature, Great Cataclysm is clearly several levels higher than Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance.]

 

This made sense. After all, although Ning Shuan’er possessed a Hidden Profession, and her Skill Power far exceeded Players of the same Level, but Xiao Ye was a Black Dragon King, and what she unleashed were Dragon Language Skills!

 

Dragon Language Skills were naturally several levels higher than the Skills Players used. Otherwise, Dragons would not be called creatures comparable to Divinity.

 

In fact, to Lu Fan’s Great Cataclysm’s power was not anything extraordinary. He now possessed quite a few Dragon Language Forbidden Spells.

 

As for Ning Shuan’er’s Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance, it could not really make him get serious.

 

Lu Fan remained motionless, allowing Ning Shuan’er to sweep over from above his head, stirring up towering flames that engulfed him.

 

Ning Shuan’er’s form circled once in mid-air before returning to its original position.

 

She had traced an arc in mid-air, and now along the path of this arc, flames rose. The temperature was terrifying.

 

Such Skill Power absolutely surpassed Skills released by Fire Mage Gods.

 

Moreover, unlike the fire rain she had released earlier, this one could not be blocked by Lu Fan’s chain hooks.

 

Now, Lu Fan was amidst raging flames. Unless he used Skills to resist, he would certainly be hit by it.

 

“Can’t even withstand my Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance? Indeed, a Dragon Tamer without his Pet Dragons is no different from trash!” Seeing Lu Fan’s figure swallowed by the sea of fire, Ning Shuan’er felt immense joy. She released her Transformation, with only her arms remaining as a pair of flaming wings while her torso returned back to Human Form.

 

However, just after she voiced her disdain, the expression on her face immediately stiffened.

 

She saw that as the flames from her Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Skill gradually dissipated, Lu Fan had not left behind a charred corpse as she had imagined.

 

Lu Fan stood in place without any change, his armour merely gaining additional glimmer under the reflection of the flames.

 

[He’s not injured!?] Ning Shuan’er frowned, then noticed the armour Lu Fan was wearing.

 

[A Pet Equipment Type? That must be why! To think that to come to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, this Dragon Tamer had actually acquired such a Pet for himself!]

 

Naturally, Ning Shuan’er did not even consider that the armour on Lu Fan’s body was also a Pet Dragon. Moreover, a Dragon King!

 

After all, Pet Equipment Types were all well-known and fixed: mostly Abyss Knights, Purgatory Lords, or Dark Lords. Only such beings were inherently armour-like. After all, only Monsters evolved from weapons or equipment had the potential to become Pet Equipment. This was the consensus.

 

As for Dragons becoming Pet Equipment, this completely defied common sense.

 

After all, the image of Giant Dragons in ordinary people’s minds was quite fixed. Basically, they all thought they were like Xiao Ye. Mountain-sized in build and skilled in both Magic and Physical combat.

 

Even if Dragons had racial divisions, at most they would be Black Dragons, Frost Dragons, Blue Dragons, and the like.

 

A Pet Dragon like the Blade Armour Dragon King was not only unseen but unimaginable.

 

When Lu Fan first encountered the Blade Armour Dragon King, had he not also found it eye-opening?

 

If Ning Shuan’er knew that the armour on Lu Fan’s body was not some rubbish Monster like a Purgatory Lord but a genuine Dragon King, she certainly would not dare underestimate Lu Fan.

 

Currently, seeing Lu Fan survive her Skill completely unharmed, Ning Shuan’er merely thought he had gained a new Pet and had collected many Secret Realm Talismans to enhance his own strength.

 

“You do have some tricks up your sleeve!” Ning Shuan’er snorted coldly. The flames on her arms spread upward, enveloping her body.

 

In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a Fire Phoenix again, her Attributes surging dramatically.

 

“Phoenix Wing Strike!” Another powerful Skill was unleashed by her. As her wings moved repeatedly, two Fire Elemental strikes fell from the air, aimed directly at Lu Fan.

 

Seeing this, Lu Fan smiled slightly. Instead of using chain hooks again, he extended the Blade Armour from his right arm.

 

Immediately after, eight chain hooks supported the ground like springs, arching up before suddenly straightening!

 

Under the tremendous force generated by the chain hooks, Lu Fan flew towards Ning Shuan’er like a fired cannonball!

 

Almost instantly, Lu Fan collided with Ning Shuan’er’s Phoenix Wing Strike.

 

Lu Fan chose not to take it head-on but instead swung the Blade Armour on his right arm. Without any flashy Skills, relying purely on the toughness of the Blade Armour, he forcibly cut through the Phoenix Wing Strike from the middle!

 

Such a scene made Ning Shuan’er’s heart skip a beat.

 

Seeing Lu Fan’s momentum undiminished as he flew towards her, Ning Shuan’er did not lose her composure and released another Skill.

 

“Phoenix Barrier!”

 

Another light shout, and a wall composed of flames appeared before Ning Shuan’er. IT was clearly a Defensive Skill.

 

This flame wall did not look particularly thick, and being composed of flames, it seemed unable to block much.

 

However, Lu Fan could sense that these flames were not real flames but were produced by compressing flames to their very limit.

 

Though these flames appeared ordinary, their hardness was actually comparable to that of protective shields formed by Protective Arrays!
