Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 551: White Tiger Transformation

Facing the massive yin energy tornado, Mei Gongzi had no intention of confronting it head-on. With a wave of the Celestial Plume and a flash of silver light, she vanished again, unaffected by the space disruption caused by the tornado.

Recently, with her deepening understanding of the space element, her control of space had evolved from tearing space to creating space. This evolution was crucial. So, when her opponent disrupted space to prevent her from teleporting, she used the Celestial Plume and her insights to create a spatial gate amidst the chaos, ensuring a stable teleportation. She had been researching how to calm down chaotic space and make it usable, and it seemed that she had made significant progress.

The yin energy tornado missed, and the pervasive yin energy didn't disperse again but rapidly converged and collapsed inward once more. The extreme yin energy gathered in one spot, and soon, the chilling aura that had filled the arena condensed, re-forming into a human shape—the true form of the Nethermoon Flower.

The reason she no longer continued to use her wide-area ability was that she realized Mei Gongzi would keep teleporting and eventually outlast her. A war of attrition would ultimately be to her disadvantage, as her consumption was clearly greater than Mei Gongzi's and would eventually lead to a loss.

After weighing the situation, she immediately changed tactics, retracting all the extreme yin energy back to herself and reappearing in her true form.

Both parties faced each other in the sky. The Nethermoon Flower raised her hands to her sides, each holding a ghostly blue spike. In front of her forehead floated a ghostly blue bead, like a third eye, emitting a chilling light.

The Nethermoon Eye, a divine artifact of the Nethermoon Flower clan, could condense and purify yin energy. It was a powerful auxiliary item. This explained why she had dared to generate yin energy so recklessly and also reclaim it quickly without wasting her bloodline power.

Reaching the final stage meant receiving significant attention and support from her clan. Unlike the expelled member of the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan, this contestant was no exception.

The ghostly blue light of the Nethermoon Eye gathered, and in the next moment, it moved. Blue light burst from her back, propelling her like lightning toward Mei Gongzi.

She reasoned clearly that if she did not use wide-area abilities with high energy consumption, she could rely on the Nethermoon Eye to continuously restore her bloodline power. Even if the opponent kept teleporting to evade her attacks, at worst, the war of attrition would end in a draw. For the Peacock Princess to win, she had to engage in close combat, but the Nethermoon Flower innately excelled at close combat, and given the opportunity, she could slowly poison the opponent with yin energy. She firmly believed that although the Peacock Princess seemed to handle the situation well due to her spatial abilities, she couldn't have possibly avoided all the yin energy.

In her view, Mei Gongzi couldn’t keep evading forever. While spatial abilities restrained her to some extent, her extreme yin energy continuously affected Mei Gongzi as well.

Seeing her opponent's choice, Mei Gongzi seemed to understand the situation. She didn't teleport away. Instead, the Celestial Plume in her hand flickered, transforming into a silver light that pointed at the opponent.

The battle of bloodline power turned into close combat.

Both moved at incredible speed. Seeing Mei Gongzi choosing close combat, the Nethermoon Flower was delighted. As it thrust her spikes forward, nine spikes instantly materialized, attacking from different directions like a demonic spear formation.

Mei Gongzi remained composed. She drew a circle with the Celestial Plume in her hand, and the Mysterious Circles of Heaven caused the spikes’ trajectory to go completely off.

You think you’re the only one good at close combat? Heh.

The Nethermoon Flower charged forth and countless spikes emerged from all over her body. She was clearly intending on using her body to directly ram Mei Gongzi, and it was also clear that being hit by any one of these spikes could end the match.

The Peacock Demon clan was known for their powerful spatial control abilities but relatively weak bodies. This was common knowledge.

In the Nethermoon Flower’s view, Mei Gongzi had no other option but to teleport. As long as that happened, she had her chance. She had already locked onto Mei Gongzi’s aura with the Nethermoon Eye. No matter where she teleported, the Nethermoon Flower’s continuous attacks would follow. Although the five-hundred-meter arena was not small, for people at their level, the distance could be crossed in the blink of an eye. In close combat, her yin energy would continuously sap at Mei Gongzi’s strength, ultimately leading to her victory.

What happened next shocked everyone.

The Celestial Plume in Mei Gongzi's hand suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the shimmering silver light vanished.

Facing the porcupine-like Nethermoon Flower, Mei Gongzi did not dodge. Instead, she did the unthinkable opposite. She opened her arms wide, as if to embrace her opponent!

The silver light surrounding her body was no more; replacing it was a white-hot, incandescent light. The white light condensed into plate-like shapes all over her body, transforming the delicate fairy into a valiant warrior clad in a full suit of armor.

When the Nethermoon Stings struck the white light armor, they might as well have struck a city wall; they were not even able to scratch it, let alone penetrate. The full-force charge, with the Nethermoon Eye locked onto Mei Gongzi's aura, was done with the expectation that she would teleport and would have to be pursued. And as they clashed head-on instead, the Nethermoon Flower was immediately caught in Mei Gongzi's embrace.

This unexpected development left her completely bewildered.

What?

In the next moment, immense power accompanied by fierce killing intent pressed in, tightly constricting her body.

From one of the VIP rooms, an astonished voice emerged. "White Tiger Heavenly Armor?!"

The resplendent, exquisite, and yet fiercely murderous white armor was indeed one of the renowned abilities of the Sky-Piercing White Tiger Demon Emperor—the White Tiger Heavenly Armor.

The White Tiger Heavenly Armor might not rival the Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor’s hide in terms of sheer defense, but it had both offensive and defensive functions. It came with the ability known as White Tiger’s Seven Kills. When the overlapping killing intent erupted, it allowed the user to instantly unleash seven times their pure power, destroying the opponent's body and spirit alike.

When the White Tiger Demon Emperor unleashed White Tiger’s Seven Kills, even the higher-ranked Demon Emperors would avoid direct confrontation. In terms of explosive power, the White Tiger Demon Emperor was unmatched among all Emperors. Even the Crystal Demon Emperor, who had literally every ability in existence, had to mimic White Tiger’s Seven Kills to counter it—nothing else was effective.

Who could have imagined that a princess of the Peacock Demon clan would use the White Tiger Heavenly Armor and White Tiger’s Seven Kills? This explosion of power was so unexpected that it stunned not only the Nethermoon Flower but also the observing nobles and Emperors.

Only Tang San, at this moment, showed endless tenderness in his eyes.

Facing the Nethermoon Flower, Mei Gongzi held the upper hand. Even without using her secondary bloodline, she could have defeated her opponent. Unleashing her secondary bloodline ensured a quicker victory, that much was true. But Tang San understood that she was doing this to share his burden and the pressure of having multiple bloodlines.
