Chapter 493: A Phoenix Appears! (1/2)
The cry of a Phoenix!
It was the cry of a Phoenix!
For a moment, Song Gudu even suspected whether he had misheard it.
How could there be the voice of a Phoenix bird in the wilderness?
However, he knew he was never wrong.
Since entering the Starry sky realm, he had never heard anything wrong.
Moreover, the higher one's cultivation realm was, the more sensitive one's perception of danger.
The wind-like knives the frost-like swords, the mosquito buzzing, and even the sound of dragonflies' quivering wings would not be mistaken.
To perceive all things, to sniff snow and taste snow, was cultivation.
Moreover, the huge firebird, which was thousands of meters away, was flying towards him, with a fierceness and determination to incinerate all things in the world and to purity the universe.
Proud!
Beautiful!
n.o.ble!
And scorching hot!
This was indeed the bearing that the divine Phoenix should have.
The huge firebird came in a menacing manner, swift and fierce. Without much time to ponder, Song Gudu transformed into a shadow, darting away into the distant sky.
Boom——
The huge firebird swooped down, and when it saw that Li Muyang, who was lying on the ground, was about to be blown into crumbs, eyes suddenly light up, anxiously lifted its head up and raced toward the direction where Song Gudu escaped.
The lower abdomen of the Firebird brushed past Li Muyang's body, and its long, slender tail that was incessantly releasing specks of flames drew a graceful arc.
Song Gudu did not expect the firebird to chase after him like it had a spiritual nature. He reached out to grasp a light ball of essential qi and hurled at the firebird.
Bang——
The firebird opened its mouth wide, swallowing the ball of light in one gulp.
At the same time, the firebird did not reduce its speed, instead accelerated.
Boom——
It stretched out its fiery red claws to grab Song Gudu. Song Gudu evaded in a swift motion, and the Firebird spun around, surrounding Song Gudu to prevent him from escaping.
Huu——
In the sky, a halo of fiery red light had appeared.
Song Gudu was imprisoned in the tremendous light. The man and the bird were chasing and fighting in the high-alt.i.tude, looking incredibly dangerous.
Their speed was getting faster and faster, the heat was getting stronger and stronger, and eventually turned into a ma.s.s of fiery red light.
The man was gone, and the bird was gone.
It was quiet and still.
The huge halo of light suddenly paused in the sky.
Boom——
A loud noise erupted.
The light halo exploded all of a sudden, sparks splattered, and large ma.s.ses of fire clouds flew in all directions.
Two figures were standing still the blast, one in a grey robe and the other in violet.
The grey robed figure was Starry Sky cultivator Song Gudu, and the violet clothed figure was the daughter of the Lu clan, Lu Qiji.
The two were suspended in the air, facing each other.
Lu Qiji transformed into a fire phoenix, and saved Li Muyang's life at that critical moment.
Just now in the light halo, she and Song Gudu had already fought hundreds of rounds. Originally she wanted to use the power of the heart of Phoenix to trap him there, so that it will never return
But she did not expect Song Gudu to be this strong, able to smash her 'Heavenly fire barrier', break through her divine Phoenix appearance, and destroy her wish to kill him.
Song Gudu looked at Lu Qiji with a pensive gaze “Violet hair, violet clothes——the daughter of the Lu clan?”
“Lu Qiji.” Lu Qiji responded coldly.
She had never met Song Gudu, and Song Gudu also had never seen her before.
Song Gudu, who lived in the Song Family's old mansion all year long, rarely went out and never saw any guests. Moreover, Lu Qiji's personality was cold and solitary, and never had any contact with the Song family. Although she and the Song family's Song Chenxi were known as the 'Three Bright moons', she did not take the initiative to visit the Song family and almost have had no communication with Song Chenxi before. Even when they met at any important occasion or events, they simply only nodded to each other.
“I have long heard that the daughter of the Lu clan is called Qiji, has violet hair and dressed in violet. Her talent in cultivation is rumoured to be astonis.h.i.+ng, that many men in Tiandu are inferior to her.” Song Gudu looked at Lu Qiji in the distance. “But I didn't expect you to be this strong, able to battle hundreds of rounds with me, your cultivation realm is most likely——”
Song Gudu took an obvious pause, then said in a puzzled tone: “Just in the Free clouds realm.”
