The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 739 - 730: The Calculated Bai Su!

"Since the elder is pushing me so aggressively, then I shall not hold back either..."

Driven into a corner, Su Changqing had no way to retreat. He certainly couldn’t just abandon Chen Yun, especially since it was he who struck first against Bai Su. Although he didn’t know why the other party was determined to kill Chen Yun, the origin of the matter lay with him, and he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Of course, he wasn’t going to fight to the death, but at the very least he had to put up some resistance.

Whether he could escape unscathed was now a matter of luck.

"Girl, this has nothing to do with you, get out of here quickly..." As Su Changqing spoke, he grabbed the dazed Yunke’er beside him and, using his arm strength, threw her a hundred yards away.

He wasn’t worried about the girl getting killed by the throw; after all, she was talented enough to pass the first barrier, and surely she wouldn’t be injured by something like this, right?

Turning back, Su Changqing took a deep breath and a fiery red flame rose, enveloping the area within a ten-yard radius like a dazzling mini sun.

This scene left the Su Family members stunned.

They all knew that Su Changqing was talented, not inferior to his two elder cousins, but they had never imagined it to this extent!

The Su Family was proficient in Illusion Techniques, far inferior to the Chen Family’s pure mastery over the Southern Clear Li Fire. However, the fire that Su Changqing unleashed now was so oppressive that even Chen Ye seemed inferior!

The Su Family elders’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, cursing under their breath, "That damn kid, he has really hidden his abilities deep!"

Even Chen Baifeng was startled. Chen Ye had inherited the family’s Fire Sorcery, which harmonized perfectly with the Southern Sea True Dragon Bloodline, making his flame quality recognized as the strongest among the young generation of Southern Sea noble families, even superior to his own.

He didn’t expect this kid from the Su Family...

"Brother Su, your family has quite the successor..." Chen Baifeng sincerely complimented.

The words were not flattery; Su Changqing had such an impressive talent for Illusion Techniques, and now it seemed his talent in Fire Sorcery was extraordinary as well. If he didn’t fall prematurely, his future was promising!

The Su Family members smiled wryly, unsure of what to say. That damn kid always acted slippery, always hiding his skills, and now he had fooled them all. And now, here he was, playing the hero—what was the point if they all ended up dying here, with nowhere to even cry?

Chen Qing nodded slightly; that kid from the Su Family was commendable for his character, a pity he didn’t come to Jiangnan initially.

He recalled that during last year’s assessment, Su Changqing’s name was on the admission list. For reasons unknown, he was accepted but did not show up. Could it be because he succeeded in Dragon Transformation and thought himself above Jiangnan’s Techniques?

With his talent for Light and Shadow Sorcery, combined with such pure Southern Clear Li Fire and tactical formations, he would be formidable.

In the arena, Bai Su was slightly taken aback at this scene. Her initially cold eyes softened a bit. In this world, there are always things beyond her understanding, but it was those very things that made the world more pleasant than the desolate cold of outer space.

But unfortunately... that person had to die!

Without further delay, Bai Su transformed into a twisted light and shadow, charging forward in the next instant!

"So fast!" Su Changqing’s pupils shrank. After the Dragon Transformation, even the fastest Yaksha team leader among the Southern Sea forces was someone he could see clearly, but this woman, he couldn’t catch even a glimpse of her with his eyes.

He knew that any hesitation might lead to beheading.

With a boom, the Southern Clear Li Fire soared into the sky. Unconcerned with the expenditure, he released flames outward indiscriminately, spreading them in a circular pattern.

He wasn’t worried about an attack from the air; after all, the flames rose upwards, and the higher the altitude, the hotter the temperature.

This kind of indiscriminate attack, though energy-consuming, was the safest. However, the downside was the massive consumption of energy; the opponent only needed to dodge a few times before his Spiritual Power would be drained.

But if he could get to the point where his Spiritual Power was drained, he could say he tried his best, effectively conceding the fight, and his life would be at the mercy of his opponent. If she chose not to spare him, then he would be facing death. Risking this much, he considered himself to have done right by you, Eldest Young Master Chen, right?

As he thought this, he prepared for the next wave of Technique, leaving no room to spare. He knew how fast his opponent was; any delay on his part meant no opportunity at all.

But...

As these thoughts crossed his mind, he felt a chill rise up his spine and a cold air strike his neck, an indescribable terror enveloping his entire body.

What was happening?

Did the Serpent Demon break through?

No!

Su Changqing turned around abruptly, only to be met with a pair of blood-red eyes.

In those pupils lay endless malice!

"You..."

Su Changqing’s blood ran cold as he was almost certain that the person before him... was definitely not Chen Yun.

Could this be the reason that woman was so determined to kill him?

Seeing this from a distance, Bai Feng furrowed her brows. She had a very ominous feeling that if she allowed that person to kill Su Changqing, the consequences would be extremely grave.

But this Southern Clear Li Fire was indeed domineering; to charge in head-on...

Bai Feng stared intently at the opponent, whose fingers were pinched on Su Changqing’s artery, while his gaze was fixed on her, seemingly judging her next move.

There was a sense of dissonance about Bai Feng.

In the next instant, she still charged forward without hesitation. From the moment of her birth, she had always trusted her instincts. After years of fighting beyond the heavens, she had never been wrong. In such a critical moment, she naturally trusted her past experiences.

However, as she made her move, Chen Qing and Shen Kaku watching from the outside shook their heads slightly.

Shen Kaku said coldly, "It seems she has no chance of turning back now."

Chen Qing: "....."

Bai Feng, of course, did not know Shen Kaku’s assessment of her. Relying on her physical strength, she forcibly entered the ring of flames.

The moment she charged in, she felt a burning pain on her skin, and her outer layer was almost instantly charred black. She also couldn’t immediately shed her skin to eliminate the damage from the flames.

"Is this woman even a magician?" the Su Family Elder asked anxiously. "She shouldn’t be qualified to participate in this trial, should she?"

At this time, members of the Su Family who could not grasp the situation immediately protested, their scalps numbing at the sight of Bai Feng’s terrifying speed, only hoping that by protesting they could get the Heavenly Master Mansion to intervene.

They were no longer counting on the Four Holy Guard. If they could bring back the Su Family’s sole heir, they would already be satisfied.

The Heavenly Master Mansion did not respond, but Shen Qi on the side let out a slight sigh, "Haven’t you all realized that this Miss Bai Feng is a top-tier magician?"

"What do you mean?" The Su Family members were taken aback. Bai Feng had used warrior techniques from start to finish, so how had she become a top-tier magician?

Chen Qing let out a sigh, exactly because Bai Feng was a top-tier magician that she was likely to fall into the hands of the ancient demon.

From the beginning, he had seen that Bai Feng’s terrifying speed was not solely based on her physical body, but was also due to her top-tier Wind Sorcery Technique.

Her Wind Technique was stronger than Murong Yunji’s, and even... not much inferior to the White Tiger Sorcerer that Chen Ying had faced before.

But precisely because of this Wind Technique, she had been calculated...

Fire, which relies on air to burn, is typically bolstered by wind—the so-called ’wind aids the fire.’ Generally, Wind Elements are techniques that support and intensify a fire. So when Bai Feng relied on her Wind Technique to charge through, it caused the flames surrounding her to burn even fiercer!

She couldn’t use the Celestial Serpent’s skin-shedding talent, because once she did, the newly born delicate skin would be even less able to withstand the flames, and she could only take this opportunity to forcefully take down her opponent. Then, before the fire reached her bones, she had to resolve the fight and later rely on shedding her skin to evade the damage.

This plan was good, but it was predicated on everything going smoothly. Otherwise, if she got held up, the flames burning on her would become a death warrant.

And this... was the very point where she had been calculated against!

Indeed...

The moment Bai Feng closed in, Chen Yun’s face revealed a ferocious smile, and he pushed Su Changqing out, retreating swiftly and deftly!

His speed was at least twice as fast as before!

At that moment, Bai Feng too realized where the dissonance lay.

It was deliberate...

He knew she would force an attack, so he purposely lured her to break through the dragon flame circle. When she couldn’t shake off the flames, he suddenly retreated, leaving her in a dire situation.

At this point, she had no choice but to continue her pursuit, or else she wouldn’t be able to catch him, and the flames wouldn’t go out. If she wanted to survive, she would have to shed her skin, but as soon as she did, her opponent would surely return to kill her.

If she continued the pursuit and couldn’t catch him shortly... her Wind Technique would cause the flames to burn even more fiercely. She feared she would be reduced to ashes in just a dozen breaths!
