“Red Soul!” The woman roared, her hands crossed and making several mudras, the fingers of her hands trailing with afterimages bursting out in red flames . Following that, a translucent dragonhead lurched out from the fire at Lin Sheng’s hand . While the dragonhead broke apart upon impact, Lin Sheng’s right hand also lost its strength and became slower .
“Purple soul!” The male rider howled, lunging out at once in the critical juncture to meet Lin Sheng’s hand with his own . At the same time, purple rings shot out from his body and bound Lin Sheng until he looked like a two-meter-tall cocoon standing unmoved in the quiet room .
“It’s done,” the male rider chortled, patting the massive cocoon as he looked at the woman . “What about the other?”
“Take him too . Kill him if he resists,” the woman said callously .

“No problem . ” The male rider turned to look at Sarroux . Just then, Sarroux stepped back, yanked out a gun, and began to shoot indiscriminately . The weapon fired five shots in two seconds, all hitting the green dark-energy shield in front of the male rider .
“Interesting . He uses a gun!” The male rider reached to grab Sarroux, and just when he shot out purple rings from under his sleeve, a shadow lunged in through the window, grabbing Sarroux in a swoop before doubling back out . At the same time, the purple cocoon beside the male rider swelled and turned red .
“Watch out!” The black-haired woman shot a warning at the other rider as she turned and threw herself on the floor, but it was too late .
A loud boom ensued . A high-temperature fire spread across the entire quiet room like a storm, burning the purple cocoon into ashes . The male rider, who stood closest to the center of the blast, was sent flying out like a piece of tattered cloth and only crashing to a halt in the wall . Blood instantly spurted out from his mouth . Meanwhile, the black-haired woman’s body was shimmering in green . Despite standing further away, the explosion had ripped a tiny chunk of her flesh off her left face and left burn marks on her right arm and right leg .
A tall figure stood up slowly in the burning flame, his mouth and nostrils breathing with fire and black smoke drifting around him like ribbons .

“You have no idea what it means to be hostile to me . ” The figure walked out of the fire . It was Lin Sheng, who seemed to be unscathed with black smoke still billowing from his mouth, which apparently was the source of the explosion .
“What a poor little Two Winger…” The black-haired woman looked grim, her body going up in red flame . “Kill!” She lunged forward, kicking her right leg at Lin Sheng’s throat like a lash . But Lin Sheng took hold of it at once and yanked her out sideways into the wall, which cracked upon impact . The woman landed hard on the floor, body shimmering in green . Immediately, she thrust her flaming right fist at Lin Sheng, delivering a powerful blow to the joint of Lin Sheng’s arm .
Lin Sheng let off his hand, and the two simultaneously bounced backward with a groan . Blood flowed out from the woman’s mouth and quickly vaporized in the flame . On the other hand, Lin Sheng seemed to suffer from a bone fracture as he felt a sharp pain in his joint . He immediately summoned his sacred power to heal his injury .
“Whoosh!” The woman did not stay still . She launched into the air, attacking Lin Sheng with multiple kicks of fire and flames that delivered the deadliest force with each throw of her leg . Although power was not her strength, this Darksider could still dispense the maximum strength of a Two Winger . The multiple kicks that she pulled off were her killer move in regular combat, where she could make thirteen kicks in a mere two seconds . Each kick was powerful enough to break even the hardest steel, more so with the aid of the burning flame of Red Soul .
Lin Sheng parried with his hands, but each kick sent a powerful shockwave through his body . Taking thirteen kicks in a row took a toll on him, as evident from the blood spouting from his mouth . Luckily, his strengthened half-dragon body and the rapid healing ability of the sacred power enabled him to heal as quickly as he was injured .

Lin Sheng waited it out . When the kicks finally stopped, he saw an opportunity and lunged forward at once . He focused all his strength, the power of his Sacred Blood, and the power of the dragon in his right shoulder and slammed against the woman in her abdomen . At tons of ramming force, the impact was as deadly as being hit by a runaway semi-truck . Blood instantly spouted out from her mouth . But the high heat of the flame vaporized every blood droplet in the air before it even hit the floor .
The woman did not expect Lin Sheng could take her thirteen lethal kicks and still be able to make a retaliatory move . What was even more surprising was the level of force he could exert in the riposte . She paid a high price for her successive miscalculations; her abdomen was severely mutilated, and the organs inside must have been a mess .
“Damn it, Frodo!” The male rider pulled himself to his feet . Severely wounded by the explosion, his body was shimmering in purple light .
Lin Sheng turned to the male rider, his mouth spitting flames like a fire extinguisher . As fire engulfed the male rider, his body began to flash in a green light, and a pair of black wings spread open on his back . He had almost exhausted all his strength, barely staying alive in the deadly fires . But this move also took a toll on Lin Sheng’s energy . After two successive fire-spitting moves, he started to feel his throat dry, his body fatigue . So he stopped .
“Kill them all!” Lin Sheng commanded and retreated into the fire . In the corridor outside the quiet room, a group of armored soldiers emerged from the billowing black smoke . They held a sword and a shield, charging at the two injured riders with no hesitation .
The black-haired woman shrieked frenziedly, her eyes, ears, mouth, and nostrils spattering fire as her body burst into red-hot flames . Following immediately, she forced out the fire with the wave of her hand, engulfing the two armored soldiers in a merciless inferno . As the body of the soldiers under the armors heated up, a terrible burning smell began to permeate in the air . Despite that, the two soldiers seemed to have no fear of death, much to the surprise of the woman . Instead of rolling on the floor groaning in pain, the soldiers continued to charge at her, ramming her to the ground .
On the other hand, the male rider was struggling to fence off the other three armored soldiers . Already severely hurt by the earlier explosion, he became significantly slower in his physical response . But the armored soldiers were different; they feared no death . Protected by crazy thick armor, they pounced at him one after another .
Lin Sheng had summoned eight vault guards . Together with the earlier two, they were all here right now . Earlier, the vault guards had not been able to determine whether the motorcycle convoy was friend or foe because the riders were riding too fast . Also, Lin Sheng did not let them join the battle earlier but only summoned them into action at the critical juncture to make the most impact .
Badly hurt in the earlier explosion, Lin Sheng was hiding in flames, healing his injuries . His half-dragonized body might be resistant to fire but not explosion . The concussion and tearing of tissue were non-fire physical trauma, to which he was not immune . He knew he was at his limit when two Two-Wingers began to attack him at the same time . He coughed, spitting out a lump of gore . “That was a close call . Who the hell are these people?”
Lin Sheng looked down at his arms . After taking the brunt of the multiple kicks, his right hand had swollen even further . His right arm was now weak, dangling loosely from his shoulder . Taking a deep breath, he emerged from the flames, took the coat that was relatively undamaged from the fire and put it on . He lunged again at the black-haired woman, determining to finish her off while she had not recovered .
Once a Darksider transformed into a Dark Winger, its injury would heal quicker than before, and he must not allow the woman this opportunity, he figured .
