Chapter 1443: Chapter 418 Sacred Phoenix

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, the horse was lost; for want of a horse, the rider was lost; for want of a rider, the battle was lost. -------------Aegean’s proverb about "coincidence".

******************************************************************

The events that occurred in that instant were almost too numerous to be captured in words.

The sudden disappearance of the intense undead fluctuations could not escape the senses of the Saint Chiao Mage.

As they say, the weak observe the world with their eyes, the wise with their thoughts, and the strong sense the world around them.

The unique and abundant undead fluctuations emanating from Axianu were, to the sensitive perceptions of Liu Zhenhan, like the incessant drumming of war in a thief’s ear. Their sudden cessation spoke volumes — the only way for an undead to hide all traces of its presence was by employing an Invisibility Technique.

At this moment, abnormal noises emerged from the distant Space-Time Rift as a dark mass of figures tore through the sky. Axianu was now entering an invisible state, their intention of fishing in troubled waters starkly apparent.

Liu Zhenhan had already mentally prepared himself — what was destined to come would come, just as the White-Haired Girl would not spare Huang Shiren, Axianu would miss no opportunity to avenge himself and Guoguo!

In this world, there are many methods of harming others that don’t necessarily rely on brute force; brains can be just as effective. An old demon that’s lived over ten thousand years has its tricks in these matters, but Liu Zhenhan has never been one to shy away from such games.

The world is truly full of coincidences. When Old Liu suddenly looked back, what he saw was a scene that only appears in maxims, making Axianu’s actions seem inconsequential by comparison.

Just as Axianu became invisible, Enrida’s "Black Flame of Fire" shot from her eyes and struck Mourinho in the left chest. This was not a deliberate attack on Mourinho, nor was it out of spite for the old swan; it was simply that Mourinho happened to be right in front of her when her green beam, as pure as spinach, struck her forehead – Enrida’s counter was purely reflexive.

Neither side had time to dodge.

Whether it’s considered unlucky or not, after the unlocking of the plant-based Forbidden Curse "Magic Grafting Scroll" was complete, two beams of elemental light should have been cast. One, the "Grafting Light Beam," had been launched into Enrida’s body by the old swan, while the other, the "Receptor Light Beam" fired from the left hand, was meant to enter Elise’s body. However, due to the abrupt "Black Flame of Fire" hitting the left chest, Mourinho stumbled and fell backwards. The green "Receptor Light Beam" narrowly slid over Elise’s body and instead struck Elder Cech’s chest, who was crouching and holding the Kagaride Gem.

If the space at that moment could have been frozen, it would have created an extraordinarily bizarre scene------------Sword Saint Henry’s long sword swept through the air, bringing with it a burst of ice shards scattering in all directions; the ice barrier turned into a fleeting foggy shadow under the flashing cold light. Elise’s peerless features were now revealed against an iceberg; Mourinho, with a face full of horror, leaned backwards, with the beam from his right hand connecting to Enrida’s forehead, while the green beam from his left hand, like a long spear, pierced right through Elder Cech’s chest; Liu Zhenhan, who had just turned around, wore an equally shocked expression.

When he beheld this scene, the first thought in Liu Zhenhan’s mind was "Damn, this isn’t how it’s supposed to go!"

The two green mists of elemental light wrenched from Mourinho’s fingers, resembling bridges stretched across the sky or umbilical cords connecting a mother to her infant, were about to merge in the air. At the same time, our Overlord instinctively flicked an alfalfa flower, which had been prepared in his hand to counter Enrida but ended up unused, striking Elder Cech, the Flower Elf.

The purple alfalfa flower hit its target and then ricocheted back to Liu Zhenhan’s chest.

"Transplanting Blossoms and Redirecting Roots"!

This is the technique in flower magic known as the natural nemesis to the Bimon War Song, "Transplanting Blossoms and Redirecting Roots", which redirects supportive incantations!

This magic and Enrida’s "Borrowing Fire to Scorch the Heavens" are similarly clever in effect, the only difference being that one redirects supporting spells, while the other redirects attacking spells!

"Magic Grafting" is indeed a supportive spell, not an attacking one!

Liu Zhenhan’s actions were absolutely not premeditated; he simply acted selfishly and instinctively during an unexpected situation, putting his own interests first! Given enough time to think, even if he couldn’t tolerate such a terrifying magic power injected into an elf who constantly opposed him, he should have redirected the spell to Elise!

Regrettably, at a critical juncture where there wasn’t the luxury to think, Liu Zhenhan’s instinctive choice was still to seek his own benefit.

There is a natural justice in the world, and thankfully, the god of justice is not blind. The flower petal containing the power to alter the course of history’s wheel struck the plump behind of the little parrot Mattlazi, rather than hitting a selfish beast’s chest hair.

The little parrot was nestled in Liu Zhenhan’s arms, puffing on a cigar. Having just finished one, it looked ready to light another, celebrating its rebirth and escape from the oppressive existence as a mere mount.
