[Sun Dragon Claws]!

Two deep-blue flames swirled on Tang Li Xue's left and right side, then it condensed into a pair of deep-blue dragon claws.

The dragon claws were emitting a frighteningly high temperature that made the surrounding air seemed dry in an instant like in the scorching desert.

Even Elder Yang could feel the searing heat on his skin as if he was already incinerated by ordinary flame, even though the [Sun Dragon Claws] did not even touch him yet.

"Watch out! Retreat now!" Elder Yang shouted with a solemn expression as he hastily jumped forward and controlled his flying sword to quickly fly backward, so Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, who still stood on the top of the flying sword, did not get involved in their life-threatening duel.

Tang Li Xue sneered coldly as she saw Elder Yang jumped right toward her instead!

She swung her right palm using all of her strength while flapped her Phoenix Wings condensed from the deep-blue Flame of Pride on her back to increase her speed even more!

The right [Sun Dragon Claw] followed the movement of Tang Li Xue's right hand and brandished its extremely high-temperature claw toward Elder Yang.

[Blood of Lust]'s first ability... [Blood Shield]!

The crimson blood sword in Elder Yang's grasp absorbed more of his blood, and the blood on the edge of the crimson blood sword got a lot thickened. 

Elder Yang put on the guard stance and held the crimson blood sword slanted in front of him.

The blood on the crimson blood sword formed a thick [Blood Shield] in an instant, and it hardened like an unbreakable steel shield.

It only took several milliseconds for Tang Li Xue's right [Sun Dragon Claw] to finally meet with Elder Yang's thick [Blood Shield] after he completely formed it!

Pride VS Lust.

Fire VS Water.

Both of them were from 7 Earthly Desire Spirits.

The [Blood of Lust] was actually much more matured and a lot stronger than [Flame of Pride] before, but it got badly impaired when its previous master, the black-masked old man, was killed by Elder Yang... or rather Tang Li Xue's arrow.

It even got forcefully subjugated by Elder Yang's martial soul, so the strength between [Blood of Lust] and [Flame of Pride] was more or less on the same level right now.

There was the question when the clash between the strongest sword against the strongest shield happens, which one would win?

The answer was actually very simple.

When the equally powerful sword and shield clashed against each other, the result was depending on their user's strength, skill, and ability!

Tang Li Xue was lost to Elder Yang in their previous clash in Tang Feng City before because she only relied on her [Flame of Pride] to attack Elder Yang.

But right now?

In the [Perfect Assimilation] mode, she perfectly assimilated the [Flame of Pride] and the [Pure Sun Dragon] bloodline in her body, it pushed the flame strength by several levels higher.

Moreover, she was even using one of her most offensive divine abilities, [Sun Dragon Claws], with it!

Of course, it did not mean Elder Yang would certainly lose because he was also using his martial soul, [Nine Petal Blood Lotus], and Core Formation Stage's Qi to boost the strength of his [Blood of Lust] by several levels too!

Tang Li Xue's right [Sun Dragon Claw] pounded very hard onto Elder Yang thick [Blood Shield]!

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!

Elder Yang's [Blood Shield] exploded to pieces by Tang Li Xue's right [Sun Dragon Claw], and he was thrown off tens of meters backward on the sky, but he was only lightly injured because of it!

Tang Li Xue's current main objective right now was to retrieve her ring necklace back from Elder Yang, and she would not mind pounding Elder Yang several more times until his face was black and blue.

Beating the super genius from the human race until he begged for mercy and gave back her ring necklace...

just imagining it made Tang Li Xue's blood boil with excitement, and her heart was beating with anticipation.

That was why Tang Li Xue would never let Elder Yang off that easily.

Tang Li Xue flapped her deep-blue Phoenix Wing and flashed forward to approach Elder Yang again.

Elder Yang stared at Tang Li Xue without any expression while making a grasping gesture.

The shattered thick [Blood Shield] turned back into the liquid form and assembled into several sharp blood daggers.

The several sharp blood daggers shot toward Tang Li Xue's back, and their speed was unbelievable fast like the bullets fired from the rifle.

With her sharp [Extrasensory Perception], Tang Li Xue could already sense the several sharp blood daggers flew toward her from behind even without turned her head around.

Tang Li Xue started spinning violently in the air to dodge the several sharp blood daggers behind her.

The center of gravity and the direction of her flight became completely unpredictable as she was wiggling to left and right, up and down.

Even the several sharp blood daggers could no longer lock onto Tang Li Xue's body anymore and missed a few inches from its target.

But under Elder Yang's perfect control, the several sharp blood daggers stopped on mid-air after it missed Tang Li Xue and turned around facing Tang Li Xue, then shooting toward her again.

Tang Li Xue, who still spinning unpredictably, easily dodged the several sharp blood daggers again.

However, the several sharp blood daggers were still relentlessly chasing after Tang Li Xue like a group of homing missiles.

Meanwhile, Elder Yang himself did not stand still and do nothing. He took out tens of flying swords from her spatial ring and scattered them around him.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeper when she saw what Elder Yang had done with her [Extrasensory Perception] and thought in suspicion: 'What does he plan to do? Don't tell me he really thought that these blood daggers and those flying swords could really kill me just because I choose to dodge all of them now?'

The reason why Tang Li Xue chose to ignore the blood daggers and decided to only avoid them was because she knew that the [Blood of Lust] could easily change between three forms: gas (vapor), liquid, and solid.

Even if she decided to completely evaporate these blood daggers with her extremely high temperature [Flame of Pride], they could still instantly change from vapor into solid again.

'Truly a troublesome and annoying Earthly Desire Spirit! Here I thought I already eliminated it along with that old man from Demonic Sect in Quanhai City before. Sigh... Are the other Earthly Desire Spirits also like this?' Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth in distress.

Though the several sharp blood daggers slowdown Tang Li Xue a bit, but she still managed to reach Elder Yang in only a few seconds!

Tang Li Xue swung both of her hands in cross slash move now, and a pair of deep-blue dragon claws on her right and left side followed the movement of her hands in an instant by attacking Elder Yang with the same motion!

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!

But Elder Yang was no longer there!

He did not stand on the top of that flying sword anymore and completely vanished from Tang Li Xue's vision!

'What the...?! How could he...' Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in shock, but before her mind could process what Elder Yang had done, Elder Yang already began his counterattack to Tang Li Xue.

[Consecutive Whip Slashes]!

Elder Yang rapidly swung his crimson blood sword as the edge of his crimson blood sword turned flexible at the same time.

Elder Yang's rapid attacks were crashing toward Tang Li Xue from above her head, so she did not have enough time to counterattack or dodge it, so she decided to protect her head and back with both of her hands.

The pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] followed the movement of Tang Li Xue's hands and crossed above Tang Li Xue's body to block Elder Yang's rapid attacks.

BANG... BANG... BANG... BANG... BANG... BANG...

Elder Yang's fierce attacks mercilessly rained upon Tang Li Xue from above.

Tang Li Xue started to lose her altitude and plunged from the sky because Elder Yang's fierce attacks kept pressing her down.

While Elder Yang jumped from one flying sword to another flying sword, again and again, to keep sticking with Tang Li Xue and slashing his crimson blood sword toward her continuously.

Elder Yang did not even give Tang Li Xue any more chances to initiate any attack.

'Damn! So he planned to use all of his flying swords like this?! He is using them as the footholds for him to gain his mobility in the sky since he does not have any wings or ability to fly by himself!' Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth as she used all of her focus to block Elder Yang's rapid fierce attacks.

Elder Yang's attacks did not only come from above Tang Li Xue anymore but from all directions now!

If not for her [Extrasensory Perception] combined with her several upgrade skills such as: [Razor-Sharp Mind], [Precise Calculation], [Accurate Prediction], [Improved Concentration], [Increase Reaction Speed], and [Intense Focus], it would be impossible for Tang Li Xue to block all of Elder Yang's rapid fierce attacks like this.

Elder Yang also realized that even his intense rapid attacks were still far from enough to injure Tang Li Xue, so he immediately controlled the several sharp blood daggers to shot toward Tang Li Xue too.

Just when the several sharp blood daggers almost lodged onto Tang Li Xue's back, she suddenly murmured to Elder Yang: "This is it? Is this what you only capable of? Then it is my turn now."

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!

The several sharp blood daggers along with the flexible edge of Elder Yang's crimson blood sword evaporated in an instant as a loud shrill of phoenix cry reverberated through the sky!

YYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!!

Even Elder Yang's body was thrown off by several tens of meters again because of the explosion, and some parts of his body were scorched by incomparably high temperature from Tang Li Xue's direction.

Elder Yang widened his eyes in shock and disbelief as he stared at Tang Li Xue's perfect slender figure under the moonlight.

Tang Li Xue's entire body was completely wrapped by the extremely hot deep-blue flame without any opening at all.

"I want to see if you can still touch me after I wear my [Phoenix Cloak]." Tang Li Xue said as she stared back fearlessly at Elder Yang.

This [Phoenix Cloak] skill was the upgraded version of Tang Li Xue's previous skill, [Flame Cloak].

But compared to the previous [Flame Cloak] which was only made from the mass of Flame of Pride, this [Phoenix Cloak] made from the intense compression of deep-blue Flame of Pride and emitting the super high-temperature several times of the ordinary [Flame Cloak].
