Chapter 247 Sirin vs. Fu Hua
Outside the Tower of Babel, the fierce battlefield fell silent instantly due to Bella's sudden disappearance. Everyone stared in astonishment at the empty space, their hearts filled with doubt.
Just then, a circular wave appeared in front of Sirin. Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled thud, and Bella was thrown out as she fell straight down from the hole.
He fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful groan, then sat up with a thud, his face full of shame.
“Your Majesty…I’m sorry…” Bella said in a trembling voice, her eyes filled with self-reproach. However, before she could finish speaking, Sirin waved her hand to interrupt her.
"Don't apologize to me! What kind of enemy could have injured you like this in such a short time?" Sirin stared wide-eyed, pressing Bella with urgent questions.
At this moment, Chen Yuan, who had been sitting quietly on Xilin's shoulder, moved slightly and extended two symbiotes, which quickly wrapped around Bella's injured body.
The symbiote emitted a faint purple light, continuously flowing into Bella's body to repair her damaged wounds.
Before long, Bella's initially weak breathing began to strengthen, and her pale face gradually regained its color. In no time at all, her injuries had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bella, now refreshed, took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She closed her eyes, and the scene of her battle with Fu Hua slowly resurfaced in her mind.
“I don’t know much about her identity either, I only remember that she was a woman with gray hair. She was about my height, slender, but extremely ruthless.” Bella frowned, carefully recalling every detail.
"However, what I find most strange is that she always wears a mask that covers most of her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance."
At this point, Bella couldn't help but shudder. Fu Hua had left her with too much psychological trauma; a human being was actually stronger than her, a Judgment-level Honkai Beast—who could she possibly reason with?
Celine's brows furrowed, her expression unusually grave, as she listened intently to Bella's story. A sudden, intense unease washed over her.
"Gray hair, and wearing a mask?" Sirin murmured to herself, gently stroking her fair chin as she fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his gaze somewhat bewildered, and said, "Such characteristics... do sound like a very dangerous existence. However, in my memory, I have never heard of such a person."
Bella, standing to the side, looked deeply ashamed. She kept her head bowed, avoiding Celine's gaze. She bit her lip, a barely concealed look of self-reproach flashing in her eyes, and whispered...
"I am truly sorry, Your Majesty. It is all due to my incompetence that I failed to obtain any further useful information about this woman."
"However, please believe me, that woman's strength is absolutely beyond imagination, especially her physical strength, which is simply terrifying!"
At this moment, Chen Yuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly withdrew the symbiote on his body and spoke in a heavy tone.
"In my opinion, Bella's defeat this time is not entirely unjust. You know, there are quite a few experts who could defeat Bella in one blow."
"But if we're just talking about physical strength... I'm afraid only that person has that ability."
"One of the hidden S-rank Valkyries of Destiny, and also an ace in Otto's hand," Chen Yuan said slowly, letting out a soft sigh as she spoke, a hint of indescribable nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
"Back in the day, on that ancient land of China, there once lived a renowned immortal, the Crimson Phoenix Immortal, who was none other than this gray-haired woman—Fu Hua!"
Upon hearing the word "immortal," Xilin was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on her face. However, she quickly regained her composure, replaced by a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
She clenched her hands tightly, so tightly that her knuckles turned slightly white. "Hmph! Whether she's a so-called immortal or just an ordinary Valkyrie, it doesn't matter."
"How dare you bully my Bella! Absolutely not!" Celine roared through gritted teeth. With that, she abruptly raised her right hand. A crisp snap of her fingers rang out.
Immediately afterward, a strange light streaked across the sky, quickly coalescing behind her into a portal shimmering with purple light. "In that case, let this queen personally go and meet that legendary... Crimson Kite Immortal!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xilin grabbed Chenyuan and stepped into the teleportation portal without fear. Her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a slight spatial ripple.
----------
On the battlefield, Fu Hua safely transported the severely wounded Cheng Lixue to the Valkyrie's medical unit. The other Valkyries, though wanting to inquire about Fu Hua's origins, remained silent and set up camp nearby.
At this moment, Cheng Lixue's face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak, but when she saw Fu Hua wearing a mask in front of her, she still managed to force out a weak smile.
"I'm sorry... Master... I've let you down..." Cheng Lixue's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, and each word seemed to be spoken with all her might.
Fu Hua shook her head slightly, a gentle smile on her face, and said softly, "Li Xue, there's no need to blame yourself so much. You've already done a fantastic job." As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Cheng Li Xue's head.
However, this brief tranquility was shattered the next second. Without warning, a portal gleaming with an eerie light silently opened behind Fu Hua.
Immediately afterwards, several sharp, ethereal spears shot out from the portal, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and hurtled straight toward Fu Hua's back at an astonishing speed!
Faced with this sudden attack, Fu Hua remained completely calm. Her keen intuition, honed through countless life-or-death trials over the years, erupted at this moment.
His body reacted instinctively, and at the critical moment, he turned around sharply, throwing a punch and a kick to meet the incoming spears from the sky.
However, despite Fu Hua's quick reaction, the portal was simply too close to her, only a few meters away.
In that instant, one of the aerial spears swiftly sliced through her body, easily tearing her clothes and leaving a faint mark on her skin.
"Who!" Fu Hua's eyes widened in anger. She turned around abruptly and looked around, her sharp gaze fixed on the direction of the teleportation portal.
At the same time, her right hand had unconsciously clenched tightly, and several blue veins were faintly visible on the back of her hand, clearly indicating that she was ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
At that moment, the figure slowly emerging from the teleportation portal was none other than Xilin. Her face was ashen, and she stared intently at Fu Hua with fury.
"Hmph, so you're the woman who dared to bully Bella, Fu Hua! I've finally caught you!"
"Cirin said through gritted teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with endless resentment," she said.
Faced with Xilin's aggressive attitude, Fu Hua remained calm and composed, not even raising an eyebrow, and responded indifferently.
"This is a battlefield, where life and death are inevitable, so how can you talk about 'bullying'?"
Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Xilin couldn't help but snort coldly, her anger intensifying. She simply raised her hand and casually waved it towards the void.
In an instant, the surrounding space trembled slightly because of her seemingly unintentional action.
"What a sharp-tongued woman! Since you keep calling it a battlefield, then don't blame this queen for being ruthless!"
"Today, I will beat you half to death, and see if you dare to be so arrogant again!" Xilin threatened viciously, her murderous intent bursting forth without any attempt to conceal it.
"Of course, provided you can do it." Fu Hua said softly. With a swift movement, she assumed a stance that combined offense and defense, standing firmly in place like a mountain.
Those clear eyes calmly gazed at Sirin opposite him, as if they had seen through all her moves. "Although I feel you can't do that."
Fu Hua's voice rang out again, still calm and even, but it struck Sirin's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Then let's give it a try!" Sirin roared, her voice echoing through the sky. At the same time, an extremely powerful force suddenly erupted from her entire body, and blazing flames rose abruptly from her body like a volcanic eruption.
These flames quickly coalesced into an enormous, crimson dragon, which writhed and surged in the air, spewing forth raging fire from its mouth as if it wanted to burn everything in its path to ashes.
Upon seeing this, Fu Hua narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, revealing a hint of seriousness. However, she did not panic. Instead, she calmly raised her hands, circled them once in front of her chest, and then slowly lowered them.
As she moved, a faint golden light emerged from her body, gradually condensing into solid barriers that tightly protected her.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Hua gently raised her right hand, pointed her index finger forward, and several golden sword energies shot out. These sword energies tore through the sky, leaving sharp trails in the air, and flew straight towards Xilin.
Faced with Fu Hua's fierce attack, Sirin not only did not choose to dodge, but instead met it head-on. With a wave of her hands, the flames that had been swirling around her instantly transformed into countless ferocious and terrifying fire serpents.
With its gaping maw, it lunged at the golden sword energies. A loud "bang" rang out as the two attacks collided violently in mid-air, sparking countless dazzling sparks.
