Chapter 1176: Chapter 1175: None of Your Business
In the distance, Lu Zheng appeared, holding the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror, and blinked with a smile, "I know you can sense us, and I know you think we are weak, but at least pay some attention, don’t really ignore us!"
Before Si Lingxi acted, with her concealing her aura, it was normal for Yueyou Ancestor not to notice Lu Zheng and the others.
But after Si Lingxi acted, Lu Zheng and the others were not far from Shen Ying, so if Yueyou Ancestor still couldn’t detect them, it would be a joke.
However, Yueyou Ancestor clearly regarded Lu Zheng and the others as Si Lingxi’s followers. Even though Lu Zheng’s cultivation was not weak, he was still not taken seriously by Yueyou Ancestor.
See, it backfired.
In Yueyou Ancestor’s view, Si Lingxi would not risk getting injured to keep him, especially since there was no deep-seated hatred between them.
As a result, Si Lingxi indeed did not take action, but another man, who seemed like a pretty boy, did, and he struck with a powerful move.
"Profound Yin Divine Mirror!?"
Yueyou Ancestor was greatly shocked. The phenomenon of spells dissipating in the mirror light was exactly the famous effect of the Profound Yin Divine Mirror.
"This mirror is now called the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror," Lu Zheng said calmly.
Yueyou Ancestor’s cultivation was indeed profound; the effect of spells disappearing in the mirror light didn’t take immediate effect on him but gradually faded over time.
But it was enough to interrupt his action of connecting the Yin and Yang Realms.
Yueyou Ancestor waved his hand, scattering a cloud of Yin Qi, blocking Lu Zheng’s mirror light from afar. While it was still less effective, at least it wouldn’t affect him.
"The Profound Yin Divine Pearl, the Profound Yin Divine Mirror, all the inheritance of the Profound Yin Divine Monarch, have all fallen into your hands?" Yueyou Ancestor asked incredulously.
Lu Zheng shrugged, then floated to Shen Ying’s side with a smile, "Pretty lucky, these treasures found their way to us."
Yueyou Ancestor: ???
Meanwhile, Si Lingxi had already broken through his sword array. The Black Saber let out a mournful cry, not only developing a crack in the blade but was also grasped by a red-clad figure that suddenly appeared by its side.
It was Si Lingxi.
"The Soul-Howling Saber is your personal magical treasure, and you’re just going to give it up like this?"
Yueyou Ancestor narrowed his eyes and quietly formed a seal technique.
The next moment, the ghost fire at the tip of the Black Saber flickered, lighting up the patterns on the blade, then following Si Lingxi’s hand, it sought to invade her body.
"Trickery of the lowest order."
"Boom!"
The golden-red Phoenix Divine Fire erupted, suppressing the dark green ghost fire, then surged back into the Black Saber’s blade.
The intense and fierce Phoenix Divine Fire and the mysterious ghost fire clashed inside the Black Saber, and after a few rounds, the already damaged Black Saber let out another tragic cry, adding another crack to the blade.
The next moment, the skull at the end of the blade suddenly cackled grotesquely as it detached from the blade, snapping towards Si Lingxi.
Just as Si Lingxi was about to respond, the skull suddenly exploded, and a mental shockwave washed over her like a tide.
At the same time, Yueyou Ancestor’s form instantly flashed, soaring into the sky, trying to break out through the Phoenix Divine Fire above.
"Chirp!"
A resounding Phoenix Cry echoed through the heavens, and Yueyou Ancestor looked up, seeing a Fire Phoenix emerging from the sea of flames above.
Spanning a hundred feet, its golden and red hues intermingled, with sharp, bright eyes, a shining beak, smooth feathers, and a long vibrant tail, resembling a divine bird from the heavens.
Then, the Fire Phoenix came at Yueyou Ancestor, spreading its wings, embracing him.
The next moment, the Phoenix Divine Fire erupted fiercely.
Meanwhile, after the shockwave from the exploding skull dissipated, Si Lingxi reappeared, standing proudly in the scene, with only a few strands of hair slightly disordered, which straightened in a blink.
"Boom!"
A loud bang, Yueyou Ancestor also burst out from the embrace of the Fire Phoenix just now, but his expression was extremely unpleasant, and his aura was unstable.
Si Lingxi extended her hand palm-up, with a Jade Token suspended three inches above her palm. The golden-edged phoenix shimmered, with the surrounding Phoenix Divine Fire blazing, blocking Yueyou Ancestor’s path.
"Though your lifespan is running out, you haven’t rapidly weakened yet. Who injured you?"
Yueyou Ancestor snorted coldly, remaining silent.
Si Lingxi had no interest in arguing with him; the Jade Token in her hand rotated faster, phoenix patterns flickering, and an overwhelming Phoenix Divine Fire surged toward Yueyou Ancestor.
The highest form of Magical Combat is always unpretentious.
Compared to using skills and techniques, Si Lingxi was still more accustomed to rushing forward with a sea of fire, no matter the myriad transformations and divine techniques, burning clean everything.
The Magical Combat in the business world involves poisoning to steal stamps.
The Magical Combat in finance is a battle of capital.
The Magical Combat on the battlefield is about who has more bombs.
The principle is the same here in high-level Magical Combat. Only the weak need to contest with techniques and swords; the strong only need one big move.
The nature of the world has always been the same.
Yueyou Ancestor’s face twisted, he reached out a large hand, sending out a vast swath of ghost Qi, opposing the Phoenix Divine Fire head-on.
Simultaneously, a shadow flickered under Yueyou Ancestor’s palm, then instantly appeared in front of Lu Zheng and the others.
Then...
It was intercepted mid-air by a cluster of Phoenix Divine Fire, revealing its form as a small black insect.
"Soul-Devouring Hexapod? Yu You Old Ghost, you really have gone backward."
Si Lingxi said indifferently, then the Phoenix Divine Fire erupted, reducing the small insect to a handful of ash, scattered by the wind.
Then, four more clusters of Phoenix Divine Fire suddenly erupted, burning to death all the Soul-Devouring Hexapods that had covertly flown behind Lu Zheng and the others.
Yueyou Ancestor’s mouth twitched; the Soul-Devouring Hexapod was best at hiding, yet couldn’t escape Si Lingxi’s perception.
Yueyou Ancestor finally couldn’t hold in his frustration, "Sect Leader Si, you are the Nanjiang Fire Immortal, reigning over your domain, how exhilarating, but why are you now being driven by this Central Plains god and Daoist disciple?"
Central Plains god? Daoist disciple?
Si Lingxi’s eyes arched in amusement, "Because I want to, is that your business?"
Yueyou Ancestor’s eyes, as big as copper bells, almost popped out in shock. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe that the person before him was indeed the Phoenix Palace Master who had shaken the world for thousands of years.
However, before he could think further, endless Phoenix Divine Fire came sweeping in again.
...
Si Lingxi’s Phoenix Divine Fire, although able to change the size of Sumeru, couldn’t achieve the smokeless, undetectable state like Dongyangzi.
Hence, a forest fire spanning dozens of miles blazed openly in the mountains outside Pi County, Ming State.
In less than a day, experts from the Mingzhou Anomaly Suppression Bureau and Zhongyang Dao’s stationed troops gathered.
Unfortunately, no one could see what was happening in that sea of fire.
"What domineering flames, who is it?"
"In the martial gods’ battle, the entire area is sealed off!"
"Should we intervene?"
"Do you have a death wish?"
"Don’t mention intervention; try getting a bit closer, go on."
"Fearsome as it is, I wonder who is trapped inside?"
"The attacker shouldn’t be an enemy; they used the Sumeru technique, preventing the battlefield from engulfing the whole Ming State."
"Keep monitoring from afar and be ready to report to Zhongjing at any moment."
