Chapter 764

The Four Symbols Subduing Demon Array, formed! Four pillars of light surged straight into the sky from the four cardinal directions—east, south, west, and north—encircling the Asura King of the otherworldly Asura clan. The four pillars materialized into lifelike projections of the four great divine beasts of Huaxia: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise... With a piercing cry that shook the firmaments, the Vermilion Bird beat its wings, setting crimson flames dancing as though the entire sky were set ablaze... The Vermilion Bird in the southern position launched its attack on the Asura King first, pitting the "Southern Bright Li Fire" against the Asura clan's hellish flames. Regrettably, the Vermilion Bird was not a true divine beast, nor was its fire the genuine Southern Bright Li Fire; otherwise, a hundred Asura Kings would have been burned directly to ashes.
