Alu's action made Elizabeth's eyes dim a little, but she also seemed to be trying to cool her eyes again. Her thoughts seemed conflicted.
But that only lasted for a moment. When Elizabeth saw the shield that was blocking between her and Alu suddenly disappear, Elizabeth's eyes immediately turned cold again. And this time it was even colder than before.
The disappearance of the shield wasn't what caused Elizabeth's eyes to turn cold again. What made Elizabeth's eyes turn cold again was because she saw Alu who had previously lowered his head suddenly lunged at her.
Alu's eyes turned cold as he lunged. And they weren't the kind of cold eyes like Elizabeth filled with hatred and murderous intent. What appeared in Alu's eyes was an emotionless cold.
Whooss...
Alu moves very fast. It only took him an instant to arrive in front of Elizabeth.
When he arrived in front of Elizabeth, Alu then pointed one of his hands towards Elizabeth. The direction it was headed was Elizabeth's neck.
Alu's fingers are straightened, shaped like the head of a cobra.
Buzzz...
Black flames blazed in Alu's hands which were pointing towards Elizabeth.
However, the black flames this time were somewhat different from before which generated tremendous heat.
Compared to the previous flames, the flames this time looked like ordinary flames because the heat from the flames was completely ordinary. To cultivators, such heat couldn't even be considered heat.
However, although the flames this time seemed normal, Elizabeth, who had been the target of the flames, suddenly felt an extreme danger that made her body shudder.
"God damn it." Elizabeth suddenly shouted.
And after Elizabeth screamed, Elizabeth's neck which was the target of Alu's attack, suddenly overgrown with red scales.
Elizabeth knows that she doesn't have time to avoid Alu's attack. Hence she chose to use one of her techniques to protect her body.
Seeing the scales that began to cover Elizabeth's body, Alu still did not react. His expression still remained emotionless.
Clang...
An instant later, Alu's hand hit Elizabeth's neck.
And as expected, when Alu's hand met the scales, Alu's hand which should be able to easily pierce the steel couldn't move any further. And it couldn't even make the slightest scratch on the scales covering Elizabeth's neck.
However just because it couldn't break through the scales, Elizabeth who was faced with the black flames in Alu's hand didn't feel the slightest bit of calm.
Whooss...
As Elizabeth studied the flames around her neck, her eyes widened immediately as she saw the flames actually starting to move past the scales covering her neck.
The flames didn't do the slightest bit of damage to the scales, but they still continued to pass through the scales as if nothing was blocking them.
And once the flames passed through the scales, it started to pass through the skin and then the flesh.
Just like when the flames passed through the scales, it didn't do any damage as it passed through the skin and flesh.
When Elizabeth realized that, she began to remember something that made her face turn gloomy.
Phoenix Flames Burning Soul.
A Phoenix clan technique that looked ordinary yet extremely dangerous. Cannot injure the body but can injure the soul.
Even though Elizabeth was young when her father was alive, she had still heard of the Phoenix clan inherited techniques.
"Alu, very good, really good."
Even though Elizabeth was in danger, she was still able to scream.
Her words might sound praising, but her gloomy face and angry tone made it clear that they were a curse.
Unfortunately Elizabeth's curse still didn't change Alu's expression, and Alu didn't stop his attack either.
"Hmph..." Elizabeth then snorted.
"Do you think this can bother me." Said Elizabeth.
After Elizabeth spoke, her body suddenly looked stagnant as if she had lost control of her body.
However...
Roar...
Right after that happened, a dragon roar filled with anger suddenly resounded from within Elizabeth's body.
The roar was so loud that it could be heard within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. It is even heard by many who enter the holy path. And when they heard that roar, they felt their souls tremble.
Whooss...
A blood red light then emitted from Elizabeth's body right after the roar.
And when that blood red light emitted from Elizabeth's body, it even immediately pushed out Alu's flames that had entered Elizabeth's body.
But Alu who saw that still did not react. He looked as if he already knew that was going to happen.
Alu stopped his attack, and he even took a step back.
Whooss...
Right after Alu retreated backwards, two wings suddenly appeared on his back.
The wings were black, and each of them was three meters long. It was full of black fur which looked very beautiful.
What's even more amazing is that at the end of each wing feather there is actually a red flame.
With those two wings, Alu now really looks like an evil angel descending to earth.
Flick...
The wings suddenly flapped.
Whooss...
The wind was blowing hard right after the wings flapped. And when that happened, Alu suddenly disappeared from where he was.
But only an instant later, Alu appeared again. Only, this time he was a hundred kilometers away in the air.
Alu's disappearance brought Elizabeth back to her senses.
However, when she found Alu who was in the distance, she saw that Alu was already flying in another direction at an unimaginable speed.
Only one breath later, only a tiny black dot was visible. And it disappeared an instant later.
Elizabeth's expression did not change as she watched Alu leave. She seemed to have understood what Alu was planning from the start.
Currently she was just staring at the direction where Alu had disappeared with cold eyes.
Cough...
About two breaths later, she suddenly coughed so much that she fell to her knees.
Elizabeth covered her mouth with her palm, and when she pulled her palm back, it was already covered with a lot of blood.
"Hahaha... Hahahaha... Hahahaha...."
Surprisingly, she suddenly burst out laughing after seeing the blood on her palm. Her laughter echoed so loudly that the mountains trembled.
Then she spoke in a low voice.
"I literally coughed up blood with anger."
She then smiled strangely. And after that, she burst out laughing once again.
