Chapter 400: Fierce Battle, Lin Fan Makes His Move!
"Yes!"
Countless responses echoed through the sky in unison, shaking the very air.
Lin Fan looked up and saw that from all corners of the vast city, countless beams of light surged outward. Crimson brilliance shot into the sky and coalesced into a massive formation tens of thousands of meters wide overhead.
The array began to spin. Within it brewed a terrifying power that felt ceaseless and boundless.
"Flame God Temple Law Enforcement Squad, activate the Sky Flame Formation—guard the northern sector!"
"Flame God Guards, form the Demon-Slaying Fire Formation—guard the southern sector!"
"Flame God Army, activate the Flame God Array—guard the western sector!"
One command after another rang out as Tang Xinlian stood proudly at the heart of the city, her clear and commanding voice echoing with regal authority.
Every time she issued an order, armies burst forth from the temple grounds with perfect discipline, soaring into formation in the skies above. The resulting energy signatures shot into the clouds like giant pillars of light.
With the great array fully deployed, Tang Xinlian raised her head. Her beautiful eyes now gleamed with sharpness and cold fire as they locked onto one of the Yi Mo generals hovering in the sky.
"Elders, follow me. We'll slay the demons and protect the temple!"
With that battle cry, she launched into the sky.
Behind her, the twenty-eight Flame God Temple experts, all at Death Profound Realm, narrowed their eyes. Even the four at the Perfection stage moved immediately, forming a diamond formation with Tang Xinlian at the center.
"Sister Xinlian looks so cool!"
Mu Lingshan's big eyes sparkled with admiration. She could barely hide her excitement.
"You're just as strong," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Hehe~" Mu Lingshan beamed.
"What about Lady Mengqi?" Lin Dong suddenly asked.
"I had them retreat earlier," Mu Lingshan replied cheekily.
"Smart move," Lin Fan nodded approvingly, then turned his gaze back skyward.
In the highest layer of the battlefield, Mo Luo, Qingzhi, and Tianming King faced off.
This was the true pinnacle of the confrontation. Any result from this clash would determine the fate of both sides.
Below that, the battlefield was divided into three main zones.
Mu Lan and Elder Chiyun faced off against two of the demon generals. Their strengths were closely matched, resulting in a brutal stalemate.The third battlefield belonged to Tang Xinlian, commanding the full might of the Flame God Temple's forces.
Despite the advantage in numbers, their side couldn't afford a single mistake. A lapse in formation would mean disaster, especially against an opponent at the Samsara Stage.
As time passed, the battles in the sky intensified. Especially on Tang Xinlian's side, the tension was reaching its breaking point.
"You insects dare stand in my way? Laughable."
The Wolf Demon, one of the three generals, sneered down at the massive army formation. The golden runes on his face glowed eerily.
Tang Xinlian stared back at him, her gaze as calm as still water. Then she raised her Fire Phoenix Spear and gave the command:
"Elders, initiate Heaven and Earth Unification!"
"Yes!"
Twenty-eight voices rang out in perfect unison. They moved in tandem, forming seals.
Crimson beams of light shot out from each of them, intertwining with complex trajectories. The strands of light eventually connected every expert—with Tang Xinlian at the center.
A massive array began to form around her, its patterns mysterious and intricate.
Buzz!
The moment the last strand connected, a surge of energy as vast as the sea burst out. The twenty-nine auras merged, forming a unified force.
"Not bad, little girl…"
The Wolf Demon's sneer faded slightly as he watched the array activate.
"But I'll show you that no trick can match absolute power."
With a roar, he summoned a giant black spear, shrouded in terrifying demonic energy. Strange symbols danced along its length.
"Attack!"
Tang Xinlian's icy shout rang out, and crimson light exploded into the sky. All twenty-nine experts shot forward, their crimson spears moving in perfect synchronization, striking for the Wolf Demon's vital points.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Wolf Demon's spear whirled like a vortex, deflecting every strike with overwhelming ferocity.
Again and again, they attacked. Again and again, he withstood it.
Then—
He growled and swung his weapon down, forming a giant demonic blade with a black wolf etched on its surface. The blade cleaved downward with shocking power.
The resulting shockwaves devastated the city, destroying entire districts.
Though the formation Tang Xinlian led was ingenious, time was not on their side. Their energy was limited, while the Wolf Demon had endurance in spades.
After a prolonged exchange, the human side began to fall into a passive state.
Seeing this, Tang Xinlian changed tactics.
"All armies—activate the Four Symbols Demon Sealing Formation!"
Thousands of voices roared back, and four massive discs appeared in the sky, each representing one of the Four Divine Beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.
The entire battlefield trembled as the new formation took shape.
Though the Wolf Demon fought fiercely and inflicted many injuries, the Four Symbols Array finally bound him in place.
Buzz! Buzz!
Mystic light patterns formed around him, twisting like chains. He struggled, roaring furiously, but the web tightened with each passing second.
"Break!"
The Wolf Demon bellowed, demonic power surging violently.
But even with his immense strength, he couldn't escape easily.
The array began to tremble under his power, showing signs of stress.
Then—
The space behind the Wolf Demon twisted.
A slender figure in green robes appeared.
It was Lin Fan.
No words. No hesitation.
He formed a strange hand seal and muttered one word:
"Freeze."
