Light Fortress-Chapter 1387 - 172: Holy Book

One lance, just one lance!

The Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy, who had comprehended two complete domains, was sent flying!

"I’ve comprehended two domains, how can I not withstand even a single blow?!"

The Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy crashed through the buildings along an entire street. He finally regained his balance in midair and planted his feet firmly on the ground, carving a nearly hundred-meter-long trench.

He couldn’t believe that the gap between himself and Jia Wei was so enormous!

A hundred meters away, the Great Knight in Bright Armor slowly withdrew his lance and stood upright.

Jia Wei’s eyes were tightly locked onto the target.

"I can’t fight anymore. I must escape..."

The sense of crisis in Vermilion Bird’s heart surged to the extreme.

He looked very grim. Until Jia Wei appeared, he hadn’t seen the "Hidden Child" he truly wanted to wait for!

Sigh...

He let out a long breath.

Being pierced by that lance, Vermilion Bird’s "elemental transformation" was completely shattered, but he wasn’t actually very injured. The Great Knight’s lance technique was terrifying, definitely overwhelming all Fourth-Order Transcenders.

But wanting to kill me this way is absolutely impossible!

"I’ve always heard there’s a ’Fourth Rank Invincible’ in Light City..."

Vermilion Bird smiled, dusting off the priest robe, and said lightly, "Now that I see it today, it’s indeed well-deserved, but whether it’s truly ’Fourth Rank Invincible’, I’ll have to experience it myself."

"..."

Jia Wei’s heavy helmet hid his face. He gripped the lance with one hand, slowly raising the tip to aim at his target.

The sun was high, its light fierce.

Through a gap in the Bright Armor.

Vermilion Bird could only see the cold eyes of the Great Knight.

This was an intention to make me stay here forever!

Against an opponent like Jia Wei, Vermilion Bird had no intention of using the "Li Fire Card". This guy, wearing full Bright Armor, had maxed out defense, a Fourth-Order Transcendent with maxed out attack power—

Who would want to duel such a terrifying existence?!

Once the Fire Barrier is set down and the field is locked, I fear I’d be pierced through with three thrusts!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Beyond the high walls of the W9 District, a fierce gale surged, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy raised his arms.

His priest robe billowed in the wind!

"Hmm?"

Jia Wei squinted his eyes.

The red-robed man before him was starting "elemental transformation" again, which wasn’t anything that would catch his attention... his Light Breaking Spear specialized in killing elemental Transcendents!

No physical form? No problem! I’ll kill you all the same!

After raising his arms, rings of red flames began swirling around Vermilion Bird’s elementalized body!

As these flames fluttered.

The Heavenly Curtain over the W9 District also changed, with layers of red hues spreading through the clouds above!

This seemed like a bizarre "descent of a god" ritual, but obviously... the strongest sealed artifact on Vermilion Bird should be the semi-S grade Nanli Token, a subordinate sealing artifact crafted by the Sky Divine Throne, unable to truly invoke a "divine descent".

Within the Nanli Token, what was sealed was merely a complete branch of the "Fire" elements from the Transcendent Genealogy Map.

"Kill!"

Jia Wei didn’t give Vermilion Bird time to prepare a ritual, he directly charged with his lance!

A hundred meters was covered in a split second!

"Rip!"

Vermilion Bird’s body instantly shattered, but it wasn’t torn apart by the Light Breaking Spear, rather it self-detonated after elementalization. He transformed into Li Fire, and the Li Fire dispersed into countless corners of the entire W9 District—

Jia Wei remained expressionless, continuing his charge, taking aim at a wisp of flame, and thrusting his lance directly!

"Hiss!"

The lance tip glowed brilliantly as it pierced fiercely into the Li Fire!

The next moment, a figure emerged painfully from the firestorm a hundred feet away!

Vermilion Bird clutched one of his arms tightly.

He looked pale, his eyes filled with anger, fear, surprise, and several complex emotions!

"How is it possible? How is it possible!"

In a completely elementalized and incorporeal state, I can still be hit!

This lance, as long as it strikes an element, can follow the ethereal "causality" to directly attack my true form!

"Want to escape? Stay here!"

Jia Wei thrusted again. He didn’t even bother to look for a target... the whole city was filled with Li Fire, the whole city was filled with "Vermilion Bird"!

"Poof!"

At the second thrust, Vermilion Bird’s abdomen was pierced through, leaving a bloody hole.

His face turned sharply pale.

Under the two thrusts, he hurriedly absorbed Li Fire from all directions, not daring to extend his domain again—

Meanwhile.

Upon the Skytop, the scarlet hue had completed its final brewing. The entire area above the W9 District was shrouded in layers of red clouds.

As red as blood, bright and vivid!

The Great Knight of Light City charged with his lance a third time, causing Vermilion Bird to panic. He desperately fled towards the city outskirts, while using his spiritual power to invoke the red clouds at the Skytop.

"Fall!!!"

With this fierce, lung-wrenching shout.

The heavenly curtain, like a blood-stained dye vat, began to churn, and within the red clouds, countless flames flew and gathered.

Vermilion Bird had once sat atop the West Cave, concealing his aura, for a long while.

He wasn’t just selecting a second assassination battlefield.

He was also preparing an "escape plan" for the worst-case scenario—

Though reckless, he cherished his life!

If... Light City had a trump card, like now, with someone like Jia Wei this super Fourth-Order appearing to hunt him down, he had to have a complete means of escape!

The Great Knight of Light City, in pursuit with raised lance, suddenly frowned.

He looked up.

Atop the Skytop red clouds, countless Li Fire was brewing—
