Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Nine Suns Sword
```
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox smiled and said, "This grand competition has reached its final match today. Whether in the individual or duo competition, all contestants have showcased their elegance and displayed the strength of the younger generation. Especially the duo competition, which is being held for the first time this year, has also allowed us to see the tacit understanding between the young contestants. Today's match will be personally judged by me, to determine the ultimate champion. I invite both teams of contestants to enter the arena."
Is it really the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox personally judging the match?
Upon hearing his words, Tang San couldn't help but feel awe. Especially in front of this figure, and more so during battle, he was afraid he hadn't hidden well enough!
However, no matter what, they had no choice but to brace themselves and step up.
Pretty Girl and Tang San left the waiting area and quickly made their way to the competition platform, where their opponents had also ascended.
Standing opposite Tang San and Pretty Girl was a powerful duo, who had also made their way through challenges to reach the final of the duo competition. This combination was particularly unique, being the very rare pairing of a member from the Monster Clan and one from the Spirit Clan.
Previously, they had encountered the Phoenix Tree Wood duo, but this team was different, their combination somewhat peculiar. From the Monster Clan was a tall, lean man who looked straight and sharp, his gaze burning as he watched Pretty Girl. Beside him was a woman, clad in a red dress, her features ordinary and expression solemn. She was clearly half a step behind the man, indicating that within their team, it was undoubtedly the male Monster contestant who took the lead.
Pretty Girl and Tang San were already informed about this particular duo. The man belonged to the Red-crowned Crane Demon lineage, a direct descendant of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor. The Red-crowned Crane Demon clan had not even participated in the individual competition; he was the only one who entered the duo competition and had fought his way to the final match. His partner, the female contestant from the Spirit Clan, was the only female contestant from the Sunflower Spirit Clan in this competition.
Pretty Girl and Tang San had encountered more than one contestant from the Sunflower Spirit Clan, all of whom were extremely powerful. When Tang San first faced a contestant from the Sunflower Spirit Clan, he even suffered a loss.
And now, their opponents in the final match of the duo competition turned out to be such a combination, indeed special.
Regarding their opponents' strategies, Pretty Girl and Tang San had also gathered some information. The Sunflower Spirit Clan contestant would support, while the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant would take on the main attack, bolstered by the fierce sun.
On the surface, such a combination, though strong, did not seem the strongest kind, seemingly lacking compared to combinations like the Dragon and Phoenix or the Phoenix Tree Wood duos. But the fact that they made it to the final match meant they possessed absolute strength.
At this moment, as both sides took the stage and faced off, a thick air of tension had already emerged.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's gaze swept over both sides, "Contestants, be prepared. Once the outcome is decided, I may terminate the match and declare the victor."
How would it terminate the match? By manipulating luck?
With some doubts in his heart, Tang San, regardless of anything else, knew that this figure was currently the foremost figure of the Ancestral Court. He contained his own aura as much as possible, trying to be as inconspicuous as he could.
"Let the match begin." Seeing that both sides had signaled their readiness, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox indicated for the official start of the match.
Tang San's figure flashed, once again positioning himself behind Pretty Girl, still the same as always. He was to provide support while Pretty Girl took the lead. This was, for now, the best way they could cooperate, and it also helped to better conceal Tang San's own abilities.
The gentle energy of the Peacock Transformation infused into Pretty Girl's body, making her silver radiance burst forth. Her peacock blue hair gently drifted, and the faint fragrance of her hair reached Tang San's nose.
On the other side, the Sunflower Spirit Clan girl gave a quick twirl, and vines separated from her body. As her figure vanished, her body had been completely coiled around the Red-crowned Crane Demon in the form of vines, creating a layer of red vine armor.
The Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant pointed into the void, and a longsword appeared in his hand. The Red-crowned Crane Demon's swords were cultivated from their own beaks, carefully nurtured from a young age, growing stronger alongside their own powers. Just like the sword of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, which was a divine tool refined from his very being.
At this moment, as the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant brandished his longsword, red orbs resembling suns appeared along the blade, a total of nine, each glowing intensely. Combined with the armor on his body, intense waves of heat burst forth from him.
```
Nine Suns Sword!
The brilliantly sharp sword beam, accompanied by the scorching heat, made its entire body appear as if it were set ablaze. Accompanied by a sharp cry of a bird, a pair of wings unfurled behind it.
Although hundreds of meters away, it was a thrust in the void.
This seemingly simple thrust, at the moment of its execution, seemed to pierce through the void itself, the incredibly sharp sword beam reaching Pretty Girl almost instantaneously.
Fast, too fast! Even Pretty Girl had not had time to deploy her space power when the opponent's sword beam was already upon her.
That wasn't a sword beam, but pure sword intent, an attack on the spiritual level.
Pretty Girl's eyes shone as she trembled the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand and the space before her suddenly became layered and altered into nothingness.
As the sword intent arrived, the light around her appeared to be devoured, giving the sensation that the space was collapsing.
The sword intent surged but then shot skyward – it was Heaven Shifting.
With Tang San's assistance, and her own recent insights into Heaven Shifting, she was truly able to execute this magical skill.
Heaven Shifting's status as the Peacock Demon Clan's defining magical skill clearly was not limited to countering physical attacks; instead, it could resolve all manners of assaults.
The sharp sword intent then headed towards the sky, instantly causing a twisted column of light to rise into the heavens – a testament to the strength of the sword intent.
Tang San stood behind Pretty Girl, feeling the changes in the sword intent, and could not help but be slightly moved.
This Sunflower Spirit Clan and Red-crowned Crane Demon combination was not simply using the heat from the Sunflower Spirit Clan to aid the crane's sword. They must have been together for more than just a couple of days; it was very likely that they had been together since the very beginning of their cultivation. The strength of their sword intent had already surpassed the below deity level and even faintly possessed a feeling of the union of heaven and man - a true union of heaven and man. So, for the Sunflower Spirit Clan, it was not an amplification but a tempering process. After who knows how long of tempering, they managed to forge the crane's long beak into a divine tool. And the tempering did not just involve the sword itself but also the spiritual power of the inheritor of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, enabling such powerful sword intent.
This opponent, more difficult to deal with than imagined. No wonder they were also able to defeat so many powerful adversaries.
As the two sides made their initial contact, nine dazzling clusters of light twinkled on the Nine Suns Sword. The Red-crowned Crane Demon lightly touched the ground with the tips of her feet, her wings flapped abruptly, and the next instant, with her wings drawn in, she shot towards Pretty Girl and Tang San like lightning.
Where she passed, the air twisted intensely, and the scorching heat rendered the surrounding space extremely unstable.
"Go for a head-on clash," Tang San's voice entered Pretty Girl's mind.
Without hesitation, Pretty Girl stepped into the Footsteps of Heavenly Mechanism Dance, the silver light of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand flashing as she faced the oncoming attack.
The sharp sword beam flickered and vanished, arriving directly in front of Pretty Girl.
Pretty Girl's delicate body slightly tilted as the sharp point of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand touched the tip of the opponent's sword.
With a clear "ding" sound, Pretty Girl felt a fiery stream carrying the sharp sword intent rushing into her body. But what the Red-crowned Crane Demon felt was the myriad changes of spatial fluctuation sweeping into her body in layers, as if to tear her to shreds.
