Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 1279 - To Win or Die Trying

As the roles were reversed, the azure flame whip became the most beautiful sight. The air was filled with explosions, which forced Lie Xin to continuously dodge. A weapon like the whip was the most difficult to master, but it was the hardest to defend against as well. It has to be said that Eve Litt had taught everyone a lesson. Her attacks were spectacular, forming a spiral with the flames of death. Even Lie Xin who was an expert in ancient martial arts, could only retreat.

The two flame whips were like two lively fire snakes that constantly drained Lie Xin’s stamina and spiritual power. On the other hand, Eve Litt had the absolute advantage, and the unpredictable attack patterns rendered Lie Xin unable to retaliate.

Following one attack after another, Lie Xin’s Flames of the Blazing Angel grew weaker. Saruman Snake was finally back to square one!

This was the thought of everyone from Aslan. The citizens of Aslan hoped to see an exciting battle, but no one would wish to see their country’s team lose.

In the end, there was a flaw in the Saruman Snake battle team. Although Lie Xin held the t.i.tle of top three experts in the team, in actual fact… it was of no use as she is still unable to clinch the crucial victory. She could only help out, which was the only aspect where she was useful.

However, on the battlefield in SIG, what they needed was not an all-rounder compet.i.tor, but a hero!

Zhang Shan was one, so was Achilles. The process may be important, but the results were what mattered the most, this is a fact of life.

Bang…

A whip swept towards her, and there was nowhere left for the Real Steel to dodge – all she could do was deploy her energy s.h.i.+eld.

Bang…

The flame whip blasted the energy s.h.i.+eld, wrapped around the mech, and tossed it up. In mid air, the second flame whip struck towards the mech like a venomous snake.

Lie Xin’s metal fists protected its vital points. The whole mech curled up. Bang…

The Real Steel spun out like a top and was flung onto the energy protective wall, and on its body, the Flames of the Blazing Angel disappeared.

It had reached its limits.

The crowd started cheering, mostly from Aslan citizens. The loss in the first match was an upset, and it seemed like an illusion, but now it seemed like it was just a coincidence. This was normal.

This was the mighty Sword s.h.i.+eld Rose battle team.

After a round of fierce attacks, the flames were reduced. Eve Litt adjusted her breathing. It looked like it was not as easy as it seemed. She had expended large amounts of energy on controlling the battlefield. It has to be said that the Flames of the Blazing Angel’s level greatly affected her. If she could reach the same level, fighters like Lie Xin would be defeated in less than three moves.

“Lie Xin, beat her up!” Zhang Shan was shouting from his wheelchair. From his face, you would signs of defeat or being dejected. The cameras cut to Zhang Shan, showing him waving his fist.

It could be said that Zhang Shan had popularity second only to w.a.n.g Zheng’s. There were plenty of people stronger than him in SIG, but there were few that were as lively and tough as him.

Not that Zhang Shan was not anxious, but being anxious would not solve anything. In times like these, he had to have faith in Lie Xin, and no member of Saruman Snake would give up on victory.

“You can’t win against me, admit defeat. There is no point in fighting anymore,” said Eve Litt, and at the same time, the azure flames continued burning. Against the Real Steel, which could no longer defend against her attacks, this was enough as the opponent did not have any moves left.

Lie Xin operated the Real Steel and stood up with a smile on her face. The smile was radiant, and honestly, it did not match the situation. There was no ridicule, but a radiant smile.

“If you have a fellow like w.a.n.g Zheng around you, it is pretty annoying, as he will make you forget when to give up.”

As the flames rose, it was clear. These were flames that had expended her own energy, which was incomparable to flames drawn from the outside. But her spiritual power could not be compared to Eve Litt’s. Against her complete control with azure flames, Lie Xin’s flames seemed so small.

Eve Litt frowned. As a fighter, she was not afraid of opponents hiding aces up their sleeves, but she disliked opponents that never give up. It seemed like she had misjudged Lie Xin.

At the same, the Real Steel put its palms together and pointed towards the sky. Suddenly, the aura changed, and a different type of energy appeared.

Bang…

Two different streams of energy exploded from Lie Xin and surrounded the mech in a formation similar to the eight trigrams.

Upon seeing this, the Martians who understood what was going on realized something. On Mars, the ruler was the Lie family, but in actual fact, the Sage Sect had the true spiritual control. On Mars, there was only one faith, and that was the Sage.

In the ancient martial arts families, there was a martial technique that was not ranked, but its fame was far greater than the Lie Flame Technique.

Sage Arts!

The people of Aslan knew about it, but there was one thing they didn’t know, and that was that the Sage Arts were not imparted to outsiders, not even to the Lie family. Most importantly, it would be foolish to try to master two martial techniques. It had been a few hundred years, and no one had practiced both the Lie Flame Technique and the Sage Arts together, be it in the past or now.

In the Sage Sect on Saint Mountain, Odin gazed at the night sky, and one star was particularly bright. Its fate was unpredictable, but it could still fight. The Martians had sacrificed too much for this day.

The Sage Arts and the Lie Flame Technique could not be fused together, as attempting it would cause the user to go berserk, but this was limited to males, as females were not suited for the Lie Flame Technique. Lie Xin could be considered to be exceptionally talented, but it was difficult to progress further, as this was the limit for females, but the Lie family found a solution to this: to seek alternatives. Hence, Lie Guang appeared to help Lie Xin surpa.s.s her limit, as the Sage Arts were undoubtedly suited for females.

This plan had been executed for countless of years, experienced countless failures, and Lie Xin finally succeeded.

258 points Heavenly Flame Technique!

In the ancient martial arts era, the strongest martial techniques would have 128 points, but according to legend, the true strongest techniques should reach 258 points. The type of skills to “become G.o.d”, even if it is unable to reach perfection, it is still able to create miracles.

Today might be the day where miracles occured – could Lie Xin do it?

Around the mech, a huge energy swirl similar to eight trigrams appeared, and in the center, there was a small flame.

This was Lie Xin’s first attempt, and it may be the last, but today and here, she hoped to try it once, to attain a victory that belonged to her!

To win or die trying!
