Chapter 1826: Chapter 1826: Let Go
Sikong Yu raised her eyes to look at Li Feng, who was struggling in the intertwined flames. He asked her to kill him, not to truly kill him, but to use the Vermilion Bird’s Undying Body at the critical moment to be reborn from the flames.
After all, the Blood God Weapon introduced by Ouyang’s uncle is extremely dangerous. Not only is there the danger of being burned by Candle Dragon Fire, but the Blood God Claw can also interfere with one’s mind.
Li Feng just made a big kill all around, likely under its influence, yet he managed to maintain a shred of rationality and make such astonishing decisions, this guy might indeed have the talent of a commander.
If it were her, Sikong Yu felt she couldn’t remain that calm.
The other used the innate ability of the Undying Body to escape the Blood God Claw, but how would he resolve the Candle Dragon Fire?
Li Feng naturally wasn’t aware of the thoughts of those around him; at this moment, his body was in a very delicate state.
The Vermilion Bird Undying Body is actually an extension of the Vermilion Bird’s rebirth from fire, not true rebirth, but a transformation of the flesh into a spiritual body of flame to dodge attacks from opponents.
But this Undying Body is not invincible, as the Candle Dragon Fire clings to Li Feng like a worm infesting bones, even if he transforms into a spiritual body, the Candle Dragon Fire relentlessly entangles him.
Fortunately, Li Feng’s greatest ace is not the Vermilion Bird Bloodline; his Vermilion Bird Bloodline was stolen, merely passive.
The Mutated Purple Flame absorbed a drop of Vermilion Bird Essence Blood, completely fused, akin to a cuckoo occupying the nest. Although Li Feng exhibited abilities that all seemed like the Vermilion Bird’s innate talents, in reality, Li Feng’s core power remained the Mutated Purple Flame.
No matter how the Mutated Purple Flame devoured Vermilion Bird Blood and underwent mutations, the essence remained, consuming various powers to perfect itself, thus bolstering the Vermilion Bird Bloodline; otherwise, Li Feng couldn’t have awakened the Vermilion Bird Bloodline Power so easily with just a drop of Vermilion Bird Essence Blood, or even opened the bloodline boundary.
Therefore, the mutually incompatible Vermilion Bird Fire and Candle Dragon Fire on Li Feng were not directly opposing each other but entangled, balancing each other, creating polar opposites like Tai Chi’s yin and yang fish.
Interwoven yet distinctly separate.
Under usual circumstances, balancing both is nearly impossible, but with the Mutated Purple Flame’s core of devouring and destruction, this impossibility becomes possible.
Of course, if Li Feng hadn’t rid himself of the Blood God Claw beforehand, it would have been the end of the road, but fortunately, Li Feng found a path to survival at the critical moment, though this path was fraught with dangers.
But Li Feng bet correctly.
Vermilion Bird Fire and Candle Dragon Fire composed the yin-yang fire, finally stabilizing, then circling the dual-core Thunder Flame Golden Core, akin to Tai Chi’s yin and yang fish embracing.
As the forces calmed, Li Feng reassembled his flesh, taking a full several seconds this time, almost believing he would vanish into smoke.
After recovering, Li Feng felt a sense of exhaustion throughout his body, staggering. At this moment, Shadow appeared beside Li Feng in a flash, supporting him.
"Camp Master."
Li Feng steadied himself with Shadow’s support, but his gaze was fixed on Ouyang Tianshu: "Third Elder, we meet again. I hope I haven’t spoiled your plans."
Li Feng’s eyes carried a hint of aggression as he looked at Ouyang Tianshu, showing no signs of flattery despite the opponent being a strong figure of Golden Core Late Stage Perfection Realm.
At First Line Pass, Li Feng didn’t bow his head; he didn’t intend to do so here either.
Ouyang Tianshu couldn’t possibly miss the hint of reproach in Li Feng’s words, given he’d been nearby all along but hadn’t intervened, intending to use Li Feng and the others as bait.
Actually, Ouyang Tianshu was prepared to make a move earlier, but Li Fengtu caused havoc first, killing Leng Yuying and then wiping out all the Golden Cores surrounding his daughter and Sikong Yu as if slicing through vegetables.
Thus, Ouyang Tianshu didn’t appear until Li Feng swept through the Divine Dragon Hall and Heavenly King Hall members, and the follow-up from these two halls never came, leaving Ouyang Tianshu slightly disappointed.
Perhaps this was all, or maybe not, but the opponent endured watching his men being slaughtered entirely without reacting, indicating they wouldn’t reappear.
Regardless of any speculation, his inaction led to substantial losses for Li Feng and his group.
"Li Feng, how can you speak to my father like this?" Ouyang Qiuhai glared at Li Feng, this guy had no sense of propriety.
Li Feng snorted coldly without saying more: "If the Third Elder doesn’t plan to silence me, then forgive me for not accompanying you."
"Li Feng, what’s that supposed to mean? Who wants to silence you? Don’t think you’re almighty just because you were imposing a moment ago."
Ouyang Qiuhai raised her fists at Li Feng, who dared to disrespect her father, this guy knew no bounds.
Li Feng paid no heed to Ouyang Qiuhai, merely glanced at Ouyang Tianshu, then turned abruptly: "Prepare the camp, gather the bodies."
"Yes, Camp Master."
Ouyang Qiuhai watched Li Feng’s demeanor, furiously puffing her cheeks, yet she understood the reason behind Li Feng’s attitude, turning to her father.
"Father, this guy is like a stone from a latrine, stinky and stubborn, don’t take it to heart. Though he’s annoying, he just saved me and Sikong Yu."
Ouyang Qiuhai pleaded for Li Feng’s case to Ouyang Tianshu.
Ouyang Tianshu turned to his daughter, sighing after a while: "I’ve seen many outstanding young talents and peerless geniuses over the years, but none like him."
"Father, are you praising him?"
Ouyang Tianshu watched Li Feng, who was being supported to the camp: "Keeping him, whether a blessing or a curse remains unknown, but someday I may regret my hesitation just now."
"I hope he won’t walk the path I dread most, or I will definitely take his life."
Ouyang Tianshu seemed to mutter to himself, then glanced again at Ouyang Qiuhai, who seemed to understand her father’s intent.
"Father...!"
"If you wish to go with him, I won’t stop you, you’re grown now, if you want experience, then go seek it; after all, as your father, I can only protect you for a time, but not forever."
"Take care of her for me."
Ouyang Tianshu looked at Sikong Yu, who nodded, and Ouyang Tianshu resolutely turned away: "Let’s go."
After saying this, he stepped into the air, landing on a turtle shell, flying towards the direction of First Line Pass. After leaving several miles, several Golden Cores converged from various directions.
"Tracked traces several miles away, but unable to determine if left by the prior group."
"It’s no longer important; the scale of three to four hundred people speaks of many issues. The battle is imminent, and winter is coming."
"And yet you’re letting the young miss follow that boy?"
"Heh, it’s a battle of the species, where to hide? If she doesn’t grow quickly, how long can I keep her safe."
It wasn’t that he didn’t love his daughter but he knew the brutality of each species battle, moreover, with the Ten Demon Hall appearing around the border, it indicated a vast conspiracy was looming, and going to Vermilion Bird Land meant stepping out of this circle, ironically safer.
This world, Ancestor Dragon City is the center of all, while the Demon Alliance occupies the four corners of the extremes, spanning tens of thousands of miles apart.
The same goes for the Ten Demon Hall; in one direction, it only holds two or three forces. After losing over three hundred people, even if Divine Dragon Hall and Heavenly King Hall had remaining members, they shouldn’t suffice.
If they dispatched a military force outside First Line Pass, they wouldn’t have been unnoticed.
