The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!-Chapter 171: Dragon Transformation!
CLANG!
Su Xiaobai’s golden gauntlet crashed against Huo Lingxue’s Ember Frost Fan—only for his fireball to explode into crystalline embers, freezing and burning at the same time, like a shattered nebula raining from the heavens.
"Not bad…" she murmured, lips curving.
And just like that, Su Xiaobai knew he was fucked.
CLICK!
Her fan split apart, twin daggers forming in her hands—one wreathed in an eerie, soul-chilling frost, the other a molten river of hellfire.
Then her boots tapped once—
And she was gone.
SHING—!
A streak of fire flashed before his eyes—his instincts screamed—he barely twisted away—
CLANG!
Her dagger scraped against his gauntlet, sending a shockwave that split the ground beneath them.
SHING!
Before he could counter, she was already above him—
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
A blur of steel and fury.
Each strike was faster than the last, a storm of dagger slashes that turned the air into a web of deadly arcs. Su Xiaobai’s arms went numb, his defenses crumbling as he staggered backward.
"Shit—!"
Flicker Step!
He vanished—only to reappear directly in her strike zone.
Her smile widened.
"Too slow."
SHIIING!
Twin blades ripped forward—
BOOM!
Su Xiaobai kicked off the air itself, twisting his body mid-flight to dodge by a hair’s breadth. The twin daggers sliced past his ribs, missing his vitals but cutting clean through his outer robe.
Cold sweat.
She’s too fucking fast.
His gauntlets were too slow. They couldn’t keep up.
"Tch—fuck this!"
With a flick of his wrist, his gauntlets vanished into his storage ring. In the same instant, his sword flashed into existence.
A heavy pressure exploded from his stance.
"Sword Intent—Shattering Earth!"
BOOOOOM!
The ground split apart beneath them as a crushing sword aura locked onto Huo Lingxue, the sheer weight of his intent slowing her movements for just a fraction of a second.
That was all he needed.
SHHHING!
Sword Qi surged along his blade as he lunged—the air howled as his sword descended in a perfect arc, sharp enough to cut the heavens themselves—
Before impact—
WHOOSH!
Twin tornadoes of fire and ice exploded from Huo Lingxue’s body, the sheer force swallowing Su Xiaobai whole!
The battlefield vanished.
All that remained was a hurricane of blazing hellfire and absolute zero.
No one could see them anymore.
Only the relentless CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! of steel colliding within the storm.
Inside that world of destruction, two monsters still fought.
____
Inside the raging maelstrom of fire and ice, Su Xiaobai couldn’t see shit.
Flames howled like a celestial inferno, devouring the air itself. Frost chewed at reality, freezing space into an abyss of absolute zero. Neither should exist together—yet here they were, trying to kill him at the same time.
And in the heart of it—
She was there.
SHING!
A dagger ripped toward his throat.
CLANG!
Su Xiaobai twisted his sword, deflecting it by a hair’s breadth. The moment steel met steel, his instincts screamed—
She was behind him.
SHING!
He barely ducked in time, her frost dagger missing his spine by a whisper.
"Tch—where the hell are you even moving from?!"
Huo Lingxue laughed—a soft, silken sound, despite the storm tearing reality apart around them.
"Everywhere."
SHING! SHING! SHING!
Three slashes, three directions.
Su Xiaobai barely blocked the first two—the third slid past his defenses. Continue your adventure with novelbuddy
SLASH!
Cold fire bit into his side, searing and freezing his flesh at the same time.
His face twitched.
"...Shit."
"Don’t look so pained, Brother Su," she teased, circling him. "You should be honored. Not many men can say I’ve left a mark on them."
CLANG!
He parried another strike, flickering backward to create space—but there was no space.
The storm was her domain.
She was already at his side.
Her breath ghosted his ear.
"Or do you prefer leaving marks on women instead?"
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
A whirlwind of dagger strikes hammered against his blade, forcing him on the defensive. His arms burned from the endless impact—half-step Immortal-rank weapons weren’t a joke.
He gritted his teeth.
If he stayed on defense, he was dead.
"Tch—since you wanna play dirty—"
BOOM!
A shockwave of Sword Qi blasted outward.
She flickered back just in time, her daggers dragging two perfect lines through the air.
Su Xiaobai grinned, raising his sword.
"I’ll give you a taste too."
"Sword Intent—Celestial’s decree!"
The moment the words left his mouth—
He was gone.
A single lightning-fast sword arc sliced through the storm—
Straight for her neck.
For the first time, her playful smile vanished.
SHIIING!
Twin daggers crossed.
The storms tore apart as sword and daggers clashed, the sheer force of the impact blasting apart the tornadoes and revealing the battlefield once more.
For a breathless moment—
They stood in the center of a ruined arena.
Her blades trembled against his sword, the ground beneath them cracking under their feets.
Huo Lingxue’s lips curved.
"…You have something stronger?"
Su Xiaobai’s smile stiffened.
Shit.
His body flipped back, landing smoothly fifty yards away. His grip tightened around his crimson sword, eyes flicking to his swollen, burning-red hands.
Her Frost Ember Fan was too strong. His sword couldn’t cut through it.
And she knew it.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Yet, Huo Lingxue didn’t chase.
She stood there, waiting. Watching.
A slow, cruel smile stretched across her lips.
"What happened to your Dragon Breath, Brother Su?" she chuckled. "I heard you had a draconic bloodline."
The aura twisted, and behind her—
A mirage took shape.
Not a tiger.
A Lynx.
A beast of flame and frost, its golden pupils locked onto him like prey.
She was waiting for it.
She had come prepared.
Su Xiaobai’s eye twitched.
Fuck.
He could use Dragon Breath—but if he missed, he was done. And against her Phantom Flame Steps, he couldn’t escape.
Her Frostfire Lynx Bloodline was insane.
Her steps could rival his Flicker Steps.
Her Molten Frost Domain could summon hellfire or absolute zero at will.
And worst of all—
She was a realm above him.
This wasn’t a fair fight.
And she was still holding back.
Earlier, Su Xiaobai didn’t believe the rumors.
Now, he was sure.
She could stand at the top of the Inner Court, maybe even challenge Yue Xi, the one who defeated her.
But…
He grinned.
"I have something better."
His sword vanished.
His arms expanded.
Dark violet scales rippled across his skin, gleaming with ethereal violet nectar that pulsed beneath the surface. His fingernails sharpened, morphing into obsidian spikes.
A deep rumble echoed.
BANG!
The ground beneath him exploded.
His legs transformed, claws tearing into the earth. His eyes—
No longer red.
They burned golden.
Huo Lingxue’s breath froze.
"A transformation?"
A moment of hesitation.
Anyone at the Earthly Rebirth Realm and beyond could partially transform, drawing from their bloodline. But it was a double-edged sword.
A weak bloodline? It’ll slow you down instead of helping.
Even her own gave more agility, but at the cost of a limited field of view. If someone struck from behind—she was finished.
She never used it.
Which meant—
Why the fuck was he using it?!
It didn’t make sense.
Until it did.
BANG!
Before she could blink—
He was already in front of her.
Faster.
Far faster than her.
"Wh—!?"
SHING!
She barely raised her daggers—but sparks flew as claws scraped against steel.
CRACK!
Her blades shattered.
Her eyes widened.
"H-How—?!"
She leapt back, eyes flicking from Su Xiaobai—to his claws.
Half-step Immortal-grade weapons—broken?!
Her gaze darkened.
That bastard’s claws…
Were stronger.
Than.
Her weapons.
And she hated it.
Su Xiaobai stood there, smiling, his dragon-scaled hands lowering.
No more attacks.
No more tension.
He had no intention of fighting anymore.
Across from him, Huo Lingxue glared—her grip tight on the broken hilts of her daggers. Her chest rose and fell, her blood boiling with unreleased killing intent.
And yet—
She raised her hand.
"I surrender."
