Chapter 402: The Golden Rakshasa

Hiss!

A golden light substance shot out, carving a faint trail through the void. Moreover, the golden light substance pulsed, emitting an indescribably sharp sensation, and such a sudden attack at such close range was enough to catch anyone off guard.

No one expected that while Zhao Huiyin appeared to be eroded by Jiang Qing'e's Light resonant power, she was actually brewing an extremely vicious surprise attack. Faced with such a sudden strike, anyone of equal strength would likely have been broken out in a cold sweat.

On the tiered spectator stands, gasps erupted at this moment.

And it was in this split second that the cone-shaped golden light substance reached before Jiang Qing'e. Her pupils reflected the golden light, and then she suddenly tilted her head slightly.

Hiss!

As she tilted her head, the golden light substance brushed directly past her ear. The violent air currents whipped her dark hair into a dance before it shot into a forest behind Jiang Qing'e, instantly causing tree after towering tree to tremble as leaves drifted down in succession.

Many gazes turned to look, only to see a hole appearing in the trunk of a tree.

Following the line of the hole with their eyes, one could see that the trunks of countless rows of trees had been pierced through, and even a mountain wall behind the forest now featured a bottomless hole.

The penetrating power of this attack from Zhao Huiyin was truly enough to pierce a mountain!

If this had landed on a body, even a powerful Earth Fiend General stage expert who had cultivated a Fiend Body would likely have been severely wounded.

However, what was even more shocking was that Zhao Huiyin's surprise attack had actually been dodged by Jiang Qing'e at that critical, hair-breadth moment!

"Phew."

Li Luo on the spectator stand also quietly let out a sigh of relief. When Zhao Huiyin launched that surprise attack just now, even he had broken into a cold sweat for Jiang Qing'e. After all, this surprise attack was truly unexpected; no one had thought Zhao Huiyin was so cunning, appearing to be eroded by the Light resonant power while actually having prepared to launch a surprise attack all along.

Moreover, the penetrating power of that golden light was far too overbearing!

Judging from the hole in the tree trunk, the power of the golden light substance had not leaked out in the slightest, remaining completely concentrated at a single point. Under such penetration, even ordinary defensive Golden Eye treasures would likely struggle to withstand it.

When many sighs of relief sounded from the spectator stands, Zhao Huiyin was also slightly stunned by the failure of this surprise attack. Immediately, she pressed her red lips together and smiled, "As expected of Jiang Qing'e."

"Sneak attacks have no effect on me," Jiang Qing'e said with a calm expression.

"The Light resonance possesses a speed not inferior to Wind or Thunder resonances; it is indeed very difficult to sneak attack," Zhao Huiyin sighed. The characteristic of the Light resonance was its swiftness, like light itself; it was the fastest among all resonances. She had known this, which was why she had attempted to use a surprise attack to unleash her killer move, the 'Tongue Gold Cone'. In the past, many strong enemies had been defeated by this move of hers.

But clearly, she had still underestimated Jiang Qing'e's keen perception and speed.

In those few short breaths, while it seemed to others that the 'Tongue Gold Cone' was too fast to dodge, in Jiang Qing'e's eyes, this surprise attack likely did not hold much significance.

With regret in her heart, Zhao Huiyin's figure suddenly drifted backward.

She knew that Jiang Qing'e was about to counterattack.

Watching Zhao Huiyin's retreating figure, Jiang Qing'e formed seals with her slender, jade-like fingers. A vast amount of Light resonant power gathered, finally condensing at her fingertips into an extremely brilliant point of light. The point of light rose slowly, hovering above her head.

Then the point of light began to expand, and after a few breaths, it formed a Light Mirror with countless reflective surfaces.

The Light energy between heaven and earth seemed to be triggered by something, beginning to turn into countless points of light that whistled over, all of them pouring into that Light Mirror like birds returning to their nest.

The next instant, the Light Mirror flickered violently, appearing among the mountains like a small sun.

"Yang Mirror Flame," a soft voice sounded from Jiang Qing'e's lips.

Whoosh!

From the sun-like bright mirror, a beam of light suddenly shot out. The brilliance of that beam caused countless people on the spectator stands to squint their eyes, a stinging sensation radiating from them.

Moreover, they smelled the scent of burning in the air.

On that beam of light, flames were dancing.

However, those flames were not crimson, but a kind of divine luster.

That was the Flame of Light.

"So fast!"

The beam of light and flame piercing the sky caused Zhao Huiyin's pupils to shrink slightly. The speed of this light and flame was even faster than her 'Tongue Gold Cone'!

So fast that even she could not dodge it!

Zhao Huiyin's red lips parted slightly, golden light flickering in her mouth before it shot out.

"Tongue Gold Cone!"

The cone-shaped golden light resonant power was compressed to the extreme, forming astonishing penetrating power, and then it transformed into a golden light that collided with the incoming beam of light and flame.

Hiss!

As the two made contact, two powerful resonant powers began to clash, but after only a few breaths, the golden cone began to melt at an astonishing speed. The Gold resonant power condensed upon it actually began to turn into nothingness under the scorching heat of the light and flame.

This Flame of Light could actually burn even resonant power!

This scene, falling into the eyes of the many big shots present, caused their expressions to tighten. It wasn't that they hadn't seen the Light resonance before; the Light resonance could indeed condense the Flame of Light, which was its signature power. But they had never seen a Flame of Light that could burn even the opponent's resonant power. After all, one had to know that Zhao Huiyin's Gold resonant power was not ordinary; it was resonant power condensed from an upper eighth-grade Gold resonance!

Yet even so, it still failed to withstand the burning of the Flame of Light.

From this, one could see just how overbearing Jiang Qing'e's ninth-grade Light resonance truly was.

Zhao Huiyin also saw the golden cone being burned away, and her pretty face finally began to turn grave. In this brief exchange, she could clearly feel the pressure brought by Jiang Qing'e. The many attacks she had racked her brains to devise had not posed much of a threat to the latter.

Whoosh!

The beam of light and flame completely melted the golden cone and then shot directly toward Zhao Huiyin.

Zhao Huiyin retreated rapidly, while at the same time, golden light erupted from her fingertips. A drop of golden liquid floated up; although it was clearly a liquid, it emitted an indescribably sharp aura.

It had to be said that Zhao Huiyin was no simple character. Her Gold resonant power was clearly at its most rigid and strong, yet she was able to condense it into a liquid form; this clearly required an extremely high level of attainment in Gold resonant power to achieve.

"Heavenly Gold Liquid!"

Zhao Huiyin flicked her finger, and the golden liquid suddenly shot out. As the liquid rolled, it instantly transformed into a giant golden wave. Within the giant wave, it seemed as if countless rays of golden light were weaving through, and then it collided with the light and flame.

Boom boom!

This time, the light and flame were finally blocked.

But before Zhao Huiyin could heave a sigh of relief, the Light Mirror above Jiang Qing'e's head began to flicker violently. The next instant, over a dozen beams of light and flame pierced the sky, slamming down with a brilliant and oppressive posture.

Zhao Huiyin brought her slender, jade-like hands together, and drops of golden liquid rose continuously from her fingertips, directly forming a golden, liquid-like sphere that sheltered her within.

On the surface of the liquid light sphere, wisps of golden light flowed at high speed, and the surrounding ground was continuously carved with smooth cracks.

Boom!

The light and flame whistled over, instantly igniting white flames that completely covered the place where Zhao Huiyin was.

The great fire burned, but the ground did not show any scorched marks. That was because the Flame of Light was not an ordinary fire; it did not harm various materials, but if it landed on a physical body, it was like white phosphorus—it would ignite upon contact and was difficult to remove until the flesh and bones were incinerated.

In particular, this fire could use the resonant power within the victim's body as fuel to continuously strengthen itself, making it extremely troublesome.

The light and flame burned fiercely, completely shrouding Zhao Huiyin's location. On the spectator stands, countless gazes were cast nervously; the outcome should be starting to emerge, right?

Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes stared at the ball of fire, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Hum!

Below, a streak of golden light about a hundred feet long suddenly shot out from the light and flame. The golden light contained an extremely overbearing power, and with a single slash, even that ball of Flame of Light was split in two.

A slender figure leaped out from within.

When she landed, the entire audience's gaze focused on her.

Then they saw that Zhao Huiyin's long hair, which had been tied up, was now draped loosely down. Golden light patterns were slowly spreading across her skin, which shimmered with a glazed color, and what was most surprising was that in her hand, she was now holding a golden crescent blade.

The long blade pointed diagonally at the ground, and an extremely astonishing resonant power surged from her body.

Moreover, Zhao Huiyin's eyes, which had previously been somewhat charming, had become extremely cold and sharp at this moment. Faintly, a cold, baleful aura flowed out.

Compared to before, Zhao Huiyin now seemed like a different person.

At the same time, she had also become much more dangerous.

On the spectator stand of the Blue Abyss Holy Academy, Lu Cang and the others saw this scene and immediately let out a light sigh of relief.

"It has finally been revealed..."

"Senior Sister Zhao's true trump card, which once caused a massacre in the Blue Abyss Sea..."

"The Golden Rakshasa."
