Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Fall, Miss Angel
Chapter 149: Fall, Miss Angel
"The one at a disadvantage… is actually you."
As soon as Han Li spoke, Qian Renxue saw a flash of green light behind him.
He soared into the air, charging directly toward her straight into the golden radiance at the center of her domain.
She immediately activated her domain's suppression, attempting to slow him down, but to her shock, he remained completely unaffected.
The effect that should have trapped him within her domain's central zone, rendering him immobile, failed entirely.
"It's just a domain do you think you're the only one who has one?"
Now less than ten meters away, Han Li's voice rang crystal clear in her ears.
Only now did Qian Renxue notice a thin layer of rotating energy coating his body.
No… it wasn't just energy.
It was a domain.
A dual colored field of red and white, swirling around him like a yin yang symbol, completely blocking out the golden light of her Angel Domain.
"Two Polarity Stillness Domain?"
Qian Renxue blurted out the name of the familiar technique.
"Incorrect answer. This is my Taiyi Domain."
Han Li was already in front of her. As he surged forward, the third spirit ring on his head lit up, and his twin blades slashed downward.
There was no time to think Qian Renxue instinctively reinforced her Holy Sword with Angelic Charge, raising it to block the attack.
But the moment their weapons clashed, something felt off.
Han Li had been accelerating, yet the force of his strike felt weightless, as if his blades had no mass at all.
Qian Renxue deflected them easily but just as she thought she had gained control, Han Li twisted mid air using his wings, his waist turning as he launched an even faster strike.
"Clang!"
The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
Qian Renxue's body was forced downward, the sheer force nearly knocking her Holy Sword out of her grip.
She barely managed to hold on.
"Azure Shadow Eagle."
Qian Renxue muttered the name of the spirit beast she had read about in her grandfather's letters.
She remembered the report her grandfather had praised this spirit skill, saying it was perfect for a long range archer like Han Li.
But she had never expected Han Li's twin blades to inherit the exact same ability.
She had no time to reflect.
Han Li used the force of their last clash to adjust mid air, then attacked again faster, stronger, relentless.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield.
Qian Renxue's face flushed red, her teeth clenched in frustration.
Right now, she had one thought:
"I swear, I will beat him to a pulp."
Han Li's constantly shifting blade weights were driving her insane.
Every strike was either absurdly heavy or completely weightless.
She had no choice but to use her full strength every single time.
Sometimes, his attack was so weak, it felt lighter than a Spirit Grandmaster's strike messing up her own combat rhythm.
At one point, she had almost suffered a soul power backlash because Han Li's attack didn't even require blocking yet she had instinctively overcommitted.
Worst of all…
She recognized Han Li's technique.
Even though he had adapted it, there were clear traces of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique in his movements.
The moment she realized it, her fury skyrocketed.
She would never forget that technique.
Tang Hao had used it to gravely injure her father, leading to his eventual death from untreated wounds.
Tang Chen had defeated her grandfather, stepping over him to become the strongest Title Douluo of his era.
And now, Han Li…
A so called "ally" of the Spirit Hall…
Was using a modified version of the Clear Sky Clan's technique… against her?
She couldn't take it anymore.
She didn't care if Han Li was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall she was going to pummel him into the ground.
"Han Li… you've angered me."
With a cold voice, she abandoned her usual swordsmanship, instead activating multiple spirit skills at once.
Her golden aura intensified, her Angel Domain burned brighter, and she charged in.
Mid air, Han Li's lips curved into a subtle smirk but Qian Renxue couldn't see it.
Their blades clashed again, and as Qian Renxue recklessly attacked, Han Li's smirk widened.
"I've been waiting for my power to accumulate. What about you?"
"Were you waiting for me to make a mistake?"
"I'm ready. Are you?"
Qian Renxue ignored him.
She gripped her Holy Sword tighter, her golden aura shining like the sun, and swung with all her might.
"The sky belongs to you, huh?"
"But even angels… fall."
"Qian Renxue, you're too arrogant. It's time to bring you back down."
Just before their weapons met
A hidden mental attack struck Qian Renxue's consciousness.
Her rage exploded, obliterating her rationality.
She forgot to defend.
She forgot everything except pouring her soul power into her Holy Sword.
"BOOM!"
The Holy Sword exploded in her hands.
The divine flames composing the sword erupted violently.
Han Li had taken advantage of the moment her emotions peaked.
At the instant their weapons touched, he pierced through the sacred energy layer, igniting the angelic fire contained within.
The result?
An explosion mid air.
Han Li carefully controlled the elemental eruption, ensuring that Qian Renxue wasn't incinerated but the impact was enough.
The explosion's divine energy backlash shredded her angelic defenses.
Even with her buffs, even with her Angel Domain, she couldn't fully withstand the impact.
In the last moment, her mind snapped back to clarity but it was too late.
Her emergency teleportation failed to fully form.
She managed to weaken the damage, but her soul power was completely drained.
And then
She fell from the sky.
