730 The Fourth Tail Feather (1/2)
The sudden changes caused the Dragon Horse to panic. The appearance of the three divine birds was enough to suppress its power, rendering it unable to retaliate. If the Dragon Horse encountered a member of the Demon Clan it would take it head-on. However, the three divine birds were the Heaven and Earth Divine Beasts, the strongest existences in the Demon Realm.
The situation had been turned around. All the human ancient martial art practitioners were stunned. Initially, everyone had lost hope. But now, hope seemed to be emerging in front of their eyes. The mighty Dragon Horse had been injured, its Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit crumbling. What was even more invigorating was witnessing the three divine birds. Their existences were like a heavenly force, giving great hope to all the human ancient martial art practitioners.
They were the divine birds. Their existences were akin to that of the Primeval Divine Dragon.
”The Heavenly Fire Phoenix.” Nangong Mingzhu's eyes narrowed. Her gaze was fixated on the three gigantic divine birds in the sky. She did not recognize the other two divine birds; however, the Heavenly Fire Phoenix was too famous. It was likely that all ancient martial art practitioners would recognize it, let alone an immortal cultivator such as her.
In Ancient Hua Xia, there had always been a belief that the dragon and the phoenix brought prosperity. The people in Ancient Hua Xia regarded the dragon and the phoenix as auspicious beings. They had high opinions of these two divine beasts.
In reality, this sort of belief was not without basis. The Primeval Divine Dragon and the Heavenly Fire Phoenix were renowned existences in the Demon Realm. They indeed had some auspicious power. The legendary Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird of the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits were from the Divine Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan. They both were inextricably connected with the two clans.
There were quite a few divine beasts in the world, and there was no shortage of strong beasts. However, the dragon and the phoenix had such high standing among humans was not just because they had auspicious power and could change the luck of a nation. More importantly, in ancient times, the two clans had friendly relations with humans. They had helped humans many times, unlike other divine beasts that liked to kill and invade. Hence, the dragon and phoenix had a good reputation among humans that continued to this day.
Nangong Mingzhu had also not expected that Mo Wen could actually summon such existences. They were akin to deities. Although they were just avatars, they were still rather terrifying.
Pei Fengwu's clenched fist relaxed slightly. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile. As expected, it was still Mo Wen that was constantly creating miracles. With him around, maybe the situation was not as terrible as they imagined. She managed to relax quite a bit.
However, Mo Wen had just taken a breather when he very quickly felt awkward. He discovered that he could not form any connections with the three tail feathers in the air, let alone order the three divine birds to deal with the Dragon Horse.
After crushing the Primeval Flaming Dragon Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit, the three illusionary divine birds had gradually dissipated, reverting back to tail feathers. Upon seeing this, Mo Wen was alarmed. Could it be that the tail feathers were only activated passively and would not help him face the Dragon Horse? The prospect made Mo Wen nervous.
He had hoped that the three divine birds would defeat the Dragon Horse for him. However, such hopes were evidently useless, because the three tail feathers did not even respond to him.
The divine birds gradually dissipated. The expressions of the human ancient martial art practitioners turned serious once again. All of them were tense. Initially, they thought that the divine birds would defeat the Dragon Horse. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed like they had guessed wrongly.
Nangong Mingzhu frowned, but her expression relaxed after a moment. Nobody would know the final result until the very end. For example, who would have thought of the sudden change just now aside from Mo Wen? In her mind, Mo Wen became more and more mysterious. However, Nangong Mingzhu did not know that Mo Wen was merely winging it. It was not a power he had control over.
The three divine birds, which the humans had pinned their high hopes on, eventually dissipated completely. Everyone was once again rocked by anxiousness. Fear and worry once again spread among all the human ancient martial art practitioners.
”I believe in him.” A staunch look flashed in Pei Fengwu's eyes, her self-indulgent emotions disappearing altogether. At this moment, she did not need to think too much about how powerful the Dragon Horse was or how slim their chances of victory were. She only believed in past experience: the experiences that Mo Wen had always given her.
Mo Wen looked at the three tail feathers that had reverted back into their original form. He laughed bitterly inside, completely unable to do anything. He did not know what had happened to the three tail feathers.
The Dragon Horse, on the other hand, was still nervous. It stared intently at the three tail feathers. Although the aura of the divine birds had disappeared and the Dragon Horse was largely relieved, a strong sense of uneasiness inexplicably welled up in its heart.
As someone with a pure Dragon Clan bloodline, the Dragon Horse's senses had always been sharp. Perhaps something bad was about to happen.
The three tail feathers did not return into Mo Wen's body. Instead, they gathered together, constantly twirling. Gold, light-blue and dark-green light fused together and became a three colored swirl.
”Huh?” Mo Wen stared at the three tail feathers in surprise. He could clearly sense that the three tail feathers were very excited. It was as though they were happy about something. They quivered slightly, constantly chirping softly. Only Mo Wen could sense their emotions. But why were the three tail feathers so excited?
