Chapter 185 – Fire Phoenix Starts A Prairie Fire! (2/2)
— Kcha Kcha——
The tens of carved deity sculptures rocked from side to side. While their body rocked, the giant black chain in their hands also swayed back and forth.
However, it was unknown what materials the giant black chain was made of. Even while shaking, the chains did not make the slightest of sounds.
The earth trembled and the mountains swayed, the whole canyon was on the verge of collapsing.
The huge explosion propelled them backwards. Lu Qiji was already prepared, a split second before the explosion she already flashed onto a statue's shoulder like an eagle.
Li Muyang was unprepared; his body brutally slammed onto the wall, knocking a huge hole onto the solid stone mountain.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
Lu Qiji's eyes were fixed unblinkingly on that broken cave, she knew Li Muyang did not die. She knew he wouldn't die so easily like this.
If he died so easily, he doesn't deserve to be her old fated enemy——
“So it's you——”
Li Muyang was deep inside the cave, so when his voice echoed from the depths of the cave, it seemed to exhibit an eerie feeling.
“So it's you——”
Crackle——
Rocks rumbled and shook, before a barrage of rocks flew in her direction with Li Muyang propelling out from inside the cave. He once again soared into the air and hovered above the canyon.
“Fire Phoenix starts a Prairie fire——I should have guessed it was you, I should have known it was you——only you could use Phoenix Prairie fire, only you would not give up on your goal to kill me until you the day of your death——”
Li Muyang's voice was full of grief and indignation, like he was reunited with an old friend after a long time, but the other person was still doing the same thing: trying to kill him.
“Tens of thousands of years have already past, I have already forgotten the time——are you not tired?”
“You should know why.” The flames in Lu Qiji's eyes seemed to extinguish. She looked a little sad as she said softly: “Let go of everything. Let everything begin anew.”
“Begin anew?” Li Muyang gazed down at his own body before he replied: “You mean——have this body? And then, start everything again? Pretend that nothing happened? Pretend that none of my clan died?”
“But they are in front of me.” Li Muyang said, pointing to the giant skull, which was tightly secured by more than ten giant chains. “Look, that's the head of one of my clan members, and they were beheaded with that huge axe.”
He then pointed to the thundering blood-red pool at the base of canyon before he continued: “And that red pool, the blood that flowed out of their bodies, the pool of blood that drowned their scarred and worn out bodies, as well as their unsettled and resentful souls——They are speaking to me, they are screaming at me, I can hear them clearly. How can I pretend it never happened? How can I——start over again?”
“Then——” Lu Qiji's voice turned cold.
The flames in her eyes burned more intensely than before, as though they were breaking away from the binding of her eyes.
Her red, beautiful mouth slightly opened, until a white crystal darted out from her mouth.
It hovered overhead, emitting a soft glow, when suddenly all the surrounding lights raced toward the white crystal.
There were no moon and no stars in the sky. Not even a speck of light.
Even the huge luminous pearl overhead was covered with a layer of black fabric, its gorgeous l.u.s.ter swallowed by the white crystal, becoming a pathetic useless fruit bowl.
For a moment, the Dragon Slaying Canyon was dark as night. So dark that you could not see your hand in front of you.
The Heart of the Phoenix!
The heart of the Phoenix absorbed primordial energy of heaven and earth as well as light to become a blazing flame.
Only the black scales floating above Li Muyang's head were unaffected. It still remained there stubbornly and proudly, emanating a black aura.
“Li Muyang——” In the dark, Lu Qiji's voice sounded cold, calm, as if she was saying something unimportant to an insignificant person.
“Then let us have a true ending——for real.”
