678 The Dusk of the Bloody Invasion [8]
Selena's grin widened as she lifted her hands, her fingers spreading outward.
The very air trembled, saturated with the overwhelming presence of blood energy.
The mist surrounding her thickened, taking on a darker hue, and as she slowly exhaled, the crimson fog began to twist and coil around her.
Yan Zijin remained still, standing in midair with perfect balance, her hands lightly relaxed at her sides.
With a single motion, Selena clawed through the air, and the blood mist around her solidified instantly... turning into dozens of twisting, crimson twigs with sharp pointy edges.
The twigs lashed outward with horrifying speed, their tips sharpening into spears as they shot toward Yan Zijin from every possible angle.
Yan Zijin's body shifted by a hair's breadth, and the first tendril barely missed her face, whipping past her.
The second one ca imdiately after, aiming for her ribs.
She tilted her body slightly, avoiding it easily, letting it pass within an inch of her waist.
The third tendril? She didn't dodge.
Instead, she caught it with her bare hand.
The blood spear trembled in her grip, struggling violently, but Yan Zijin's fingers tightened and with a single pulse of raw strength, she crushed it.
Selena's eyes flickered in amusent. "Oh? Are you really going to fight like that? Using only your bare hands?"
Yan Zijin didn't respond. She simply took a step forward... and vanished.
BOOM!
A sudden explosion of force erupted in font of Selena as Yan Zijin closed the distance in an instant.
Before Selena could react, a perfectly executed chop slamd against her spine, sending a shockwave rippling through her body.
"grgh.." Selena's body jerked violently, her smirk faltering for the first ti.
Yan Zijin didn't stop and she spun in midair, her leg cutting through the space between them... a brutal roundhouse kick that crashed against Selena's ribs with bone-shattering force.
CRACK!
Selena was sent flying, her body twisting through the sky like a teor.
She crashed through one of the hovering vampire arks, tearing through its outer hull as explosions followed in her path.
*THOOM*
Yan Zijin remained still, watching.
But just as quickly as she was thrown, Selena erged from the wreckage.
A slow, satisfied chuckle slipped from her lips.
"That hurt," Selena said, grinning wildly, her green eyes burning with excitent.
"You're strong. Ridiculously strong. But..."
She snapped her fingers and the blood mist around her expanded violently.
Yan Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly as she felt sothing different.
Selena had rewritten the battlefield.
The blood mist thickened into a dense ocean, stretching across the sky, covering the battlefield like a scarlet sea.
And within that sea... countless figures erged.
Dozens.
No... hundreds.
Blood-ford clones of Selena, each identical, their faces twisted into the sa gleeful smirk as their bodies flickering in and out of fluid-like existence.
Selena extended her arms. "Let's see how you handle...Eternal Red Mirage."
The clones moved as one.
Like a tide, they surged forward, so materializing directly behind Yan Zijin while so appeared from angles that should have been impossible.
They attacked simultaneously, hundreds of blades of blood energy slashing toward her at insane speed.
A lesser opponent would be overwheld instantly.
But Yan Zijin was not a lesser opponent.
Her palm struck the air itself... and the entire battlefield shook.
*SWOOOSH* The sheer force of her raw strength blasted away the first wave of clones, disintegrating dozens of them in a single instant.
She twisted, her body moving with absolute fluidity, her bare hands and feet smashing through the incoming blood clones easily.
One clone slashed at her throat but she ducked and then drove a crushing elbow into its sternum, shattering it into nothingness.
Another aid for her spine and she spun, her heel crashing into its skull, sending it evaporating into blood mist.
Kick. Chop. Strike.
Yan Zijin was like a storm of pure strength, her body weaving through the sea of blood, her hands and feet annihilating everything in her path.
Selena watched in absolute delight, her real body hovering above the carnage, observing how Yan Zijin effortlessly dismantled her army of blood.
"Heavens... you're terrifying," Selena breathed, shivering slightly.
"You're not even using any astral energy or elental energy... just raw physical force. How stupidly overpowered can you be?"
Yan Zijin ignored her words.
Because she had already calculated her next move. She leapt and in a single blinding burst of speed, she shot straight toward Selena, her body vanishing from sight.
Selena barely had ti to react before...
A palm struck her gut.
And for the first ti... Selena's entire body convulsed.
She felt it. The raw force behind the attack.
It wasn't just strength... it was like gravity itself pressing against her, a force so overwhelmingly pure and refined that it bypassed her defenses entirely.
"Arghhh!" She coughed blood.
Even as a vampire, her body scread in pain.
Then Yan Zijin twisted and a brutal axe kick slamd down on Selena's back, sending her plumting toward the battlefield like a falling star.
BOOOOOMMM!
The earth shattered on impact, the very ground trembling beneath the sheer devastation of the strike.
Smoke and debris exploded outward, engulfing the battlefield in a cloud of dust.
Yan Zijin slowly descended, landing gracefully on a floating stone fragnt as she looked at the impact site.
For a few monts... there was only silence.
Then, a slow, crooked laugh ca from within the crater.
"Haa.. Hahaha..."
Selena stood up as blood still dripped from the corner of her lips, but her expression was—
Ecstatic.
"You…" She wiped her mouth, her smile widening even more.
"You're really sothing else... as we thought, along with Ji Shuang, you are really a nuisance."
*FEENNN* At this ti, the rift in the skies expanded, and even more arks began to descend down the battlefield.
Selena raised her gaze to look at the skies and chuckled "Ohh, many generals are coming."
"They can keep the wing masters in check."
...
"Norah... you really got bold, huh, Now you are really fighting against ... just a while ago, you were trembling beneath ."
Velnorah's eyelashes quivered as she gripped the deep gash on her abdon "Urghhh..."
Zhao Tian hurriedly held her in his hands and used his light energy to heal her.
A red glint passed through Elvoria's eyes as she muttered "Plurret..."
