Elder Xu Yin’s eyes shone gold, and his spiritual power poured like a flood into the golden fire cloud. Despite possessing the world-renowned sword with the rejuvenating breath technique, he was unable to suppress the reduction of his spiritual power.
And with the Phoenix yet to appear, Feng Wendong’s Blood Fiend bottle was already close at hand.
“Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor!” Elder Xu Yin invoked the name of the divine armor, signaling his intentions.
The dragon pendant around his waist erupted in gold light, the sculpted dragon’s eyes on it opened, transforming into a massive golden dragon. It coiled and wrapped around, firmly protecting him.
Anyone wanting to harm Elder Xu Yin first had to break this golden dragon soul.
The blood-colored bottle was getting closer and closer, and it exploded with a bang, the fragments coated in Blood Fiend turning into the world’s most poisonous hidden weapon, shooting towards the golden dragon!
Even real dragons would avoid the Blood Fiend, the filthiest and most foul element in the world. Feng Wendong was highly confident of it.
The coiled golden dragon, as if alive, stared arrogantly at the Blood Fiend-coated bottle shards, spewing a mouthful of golden flame!
Upon mere contact, the so-called corrosive Blood Fiend was evaporated and purified, similarly, the spiritual-power-infused bottle shards were incinerated and annihilated.
If the dragon soul of the Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor couldn’t even withstand this bit of filth and evil power, how could it be worth the title of ‘once the first Demon King of Yuanzhou’.
The golden fire cloud in the sky finally absorbed enough spiritual power to explode, a Phoenix cry echoed through the heavens!
A colossal Phoenix wreathed in golden flames appeared in mid-air, imperiously overlooking the mere mortals below.
The appearance of the Phoenix drew Feng Wendong’s attention, leaving him no time to scoff.
Therefore, nobody saw Elder Xu Yin, who looked pale and drained of spiritual power due to the coiling dragon soul.
With his current cultivation, it was still a stretch to summon a full Phantom Phoenix Spirit Sword. He exhausted all his spiritual power to call forth this Phoenix, only at the peak of the Fierce Realm. But against these warriors, it should be more than adequate.
Elder Xu Yin secured a shared spirit with the Phoenix, affording effortless control. The Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor’s unparalleled defensive properties were his ultimate safeguard.
As a member of this generation’s Xu Clan, let alone a few mortal metamorphosis teams and a Fierce Realm warrior, even when encircled, these two sacred artifacts of profound root would secure his safety.
Now, attack and defense have switched hands!
The golden flame Phoenix spread its fiery wings, its call echoed through the heavens, as the golden flame blocked out the sun.
The Phoenix lowered its wings, each flutter releasing a golden ember drifting toward the warriors below.
“Prepare the Combined Attack Technique!” Feng Wendong shouted, while others might not recognise that Phoenix’s golden flame, he did.
This seemingly harmless golden spiritual flame ignored all forms of defenses. The majority of Feng Clan warriors wore refined iron dark armor, which although impervious to swords, feared fire attribute attacks.
Although the armor could withstand high temperatures, human bodies couldn’t. Therefore, these spiritual flames must be exterminated in the sky.
Warriors following commands forcefully suppressed their fear and formed the Combined Attack Technique again.
This was the difference between Clan warriors and a ragtag group. If these were homeless warriors facing such a legendary Demon King, not even commands could stir them into action; they would just scatter and flee.
Thirteen Red Flame Flood Dragons reappeared, charging straight toward the Phoenix!
Once the warriors who displayed the second Combined Attack Technique moved away from the formation, they stood behind one of the squad leaders.
Because for most of them, their spiritual energy could sustain only two releases of their killing techniques. The forthcoming battle was not something they could interfere in, so they retreated.
The leaders of the other twelve Mortal Metamorphosis teams then formed four new combat teams. As Mortal Metamorphosis peak warriors, they still had a significant amount of spiritual power left to continue using the Combined Attack Technique.
This was how a Clan’s warriors fought: one-on-one? No, they always acted as a whole, overpowering others with their collective force.
In the sky, a scene like something out of a myth unfolded, with thirteen Flood Dragons attacking a phoenix, staining the sky with two distinct colors – one side being crimson red and the other being golden yellow.
But how could a phoenix possessing the apex power of the Fierce Realm care for these crimson Flood Dragons that are merely resembling dragons? With its pride, it flapped its wings and stood up in the void, its chest elevated as if something was brewing within it.
The golden light in its chest grew brighter, like a growing sun, radiating a dazzling golden light.
The Flood Dragons drew closer, and the golden light within the phoenix’s chest also glistened to the extreme.
The phoenix lowered its head, opened its beak, and a blast of phoenix flame surged out. A beam of light composed of thousands of golden flames resembled a pillar of light from afar, capable of annihilating everything.
The massive golden pillar swept across the sky, and the fierce crimson Flood Dragons were annihilated without any resistance.
The might of the phoenix was terrifying indeed.
After emitting the last bit of golden flame from its beak and its chest returning to normalcy, the phoenix surged towards Feng Wendum and the group of warriors after destroying the combined attack technique.
Feng Wendum suppressed his fear and summoned his Divine Armor: “Mystic Ice Heavy Armor!”
If the phoenix dashed down, the warriors of the Feng clan would undoubtedly die. Only if he tangled with the phoenix, could he buy them a chance of survival.
Once the other three families surrounded it, they could initiate a counterattack. Despite the phoenix’s unsurpassed power, it had not exceeded the Fierce Realm, and he was able to handle it to a certain extent.
“Tong Ran Squad, retreat five miles! The rest, wait for orders.” Feng Wendum gave the command, and braced himself against the phoenix’s oncoming dive.
The Tong Ran Squad, which was commanding the group of large warriors who were unable to use the combined attack technique again, quickly left the battlefield after receiving orders, without any reluctance.
In such a battle, they who couldn’t use the combined attack technique again were a burden. So, it was urgent for them to leave immediately, find a safe location, and restore their spiritual power.
A brass-colored Feng, encased in his icy armor, shot towards the phoenix. Golden and blue streaks of light collided in the sky, causing a surge of spiritual waves.
Feng Wendum was extremely grateful that his Divine Armor was of icy attributes. Although it wasn’t outstanding in defense, the added cold spiritual power and defense against fire spiritual power allowed him to ignore the golden flames of the phoenix, enabling him to fight it at close range.
With both of his hands forming a “Mystic Ice Seal” that was as large as two enormous ice fists, he tangled with the phoenix in the sky.
As the phoenix’s beak struck towards his chest, Feng Wendum didn’t hold back and punched at the phoenix’s wings!
He wasn’t fighting a losing battle because he was desperate, but because the phoenix lacked a physical body and was composed of golden flames. Therefore, it did not have the advantage of the beast’s large body, and as long as he was not afraid of its golden fire, he could hold onto it.
Feng Wendum’s two ice punches hit the root of the phoenix’s wings. The dark ice force exploded, freezing its wings;
However, the phoenix’s beak also struck at the thick layer of Feng Wendum’s ice armor. There were cracking sounds, and the dazzling Mystic Ice Heavy Armor had cracks.
Feng Wendum’s complexion changed drastically. He delivered a punch to the phoenix’s head, trying to force its beak that was driving again towards his chest away.
But this punch, while disrupting the phoenix’s head, was unable to break the beak’s strike. The golden red beak again pierced his chest. This time, the Mystic Ice Heavy Armor was destroyed completely, exposing his chest.
What should have been an immaterial beak was like a divine weapon, with unparalleled sharpness, tearing a deep wound in Feng Wendum’s chest. If he did not retreat fast enough, he would have lost his life from this strike.
“Impossible!” Feng Wendum’s eyes were filled with disbelief. How could a Luan Bird made of golden flames deliver such a powerful strike? This had completely overturned his understanding of martial arts.
Finally, the old Xu protected by the dragon soul recovered from his state of depleted spiritual power. Seeing the disbelief in Feng Wendum’s eyes, he let out a scoff.
A Sword Spirit is formless, an eternal truth of the world. No matter how ferocious your beast soul was in its former life, a spirit is just a spirit, incapable of manifesting into a physical body.
But the soul of this phoenix was different because the Spiritual Sword it fused with was a sentient holy sword, which could transform freely.
Therefore, the sword tip becomes the beak, the blade becomes the claw! This gave the phoenix, in addition to its spiritual power attack, a formidable physical attack.
Feng Wendum did not consider this and suffered a setback with just one blow, losing one Divine Armor set. He would likely be toyed with by the phoenix
