Chapter 174 (2/2)
Ouyang Yu shook his head. “No, I’m here to take your life!” He then thrust out his sword as ice and snow flew all over the sky. Every piece of ice and snow is a sharp Sword Qi. However, in the eyes of Patriarch Guanshan, this was no different from a child’s trick. He shook his arms and immediately shattered the Sword Qi. Ouyang Yu was also hit and then fell to the ground with his green-horned beast.
Xiao Chen stepped forth and held him, shaking his head. “This person has profound cultivation. You must not be rash.” Ouyang Yu looked at Xiao Chen with surprise and said, “When did you get into the Nascent Soul Realm?” He looked around and asked, “Where’s A Xue? Is she with you?”
Xiao Chen said, “Let’s put this aside. Can I borrow your green-horned beast?” Ouyang Yu understood the plan, so he immediately ordered the beast to come.
“Thank you.” Xiao Chen jumped on the back of the beast. The beast seemed to be very afraid of him and immediately took him up into the air and flew to Patriarch Guanshan.
Patriarch Guanshan saw that the two of them had hostility before, but now they worked together to deal with him. So, he became angry and thundered, “You two brats, die!” A Sword Qi then descended from the sky.
The green-horned beast immediately turned to avoid this sharp Sword Qi. At the same time, Xiao Chen punched out and hit the green drake. The green drake immediately let out a dragon roar which almost shattered people’s eardrums. The green-horned beast was shocked by the dragon roar, so it trembled and dared not to get closer.
Xiao Chen scolded inwardly that the beast was a coward. “Will I let you get hurt?” He thundered, “Closer!” However, after hearing this, the green-horned beast actually shook its head and refused to approach. It even wanted to fall back to the ground.
Patriarch Guanshan sneered, “Hey hey. How can a hundred-year-old green-horned animal compete with my thousand-year-old drake?” Then, the green drake let out another dragon roar, which directly frightened the green-horned beast to fall to the ground.
Xiao Chen went mad because he had so much cultivation but cannot use them. If he wanted to ascend in the air or ride the sword, it would consume his True Energy; if he ascended with the Flying-cloud Stone, the stone would be shattered easily. He scolded with anger, “Old punk! It is not enough for you to hide for a thousand years? Do you dare come down to fight me now?”
Patriarch Guanshan said with a smile, “Kid, I won’t come down. When your cultivation is exhausted, you can give your body to me nicely.” After saying this, the drake flew up for about 30 meters.
At present, Xiao Chen was at his wits’ end. The old man refused to come down, and he would be in a disadvantage if he rushed. If only he could fly with two wings! At this moment, a red figure suddenly flashed into the square. Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. It was Liu Fenghuang. Why did she look different from before? And she seemed to have a powerful strength in her body at the moment.
“Sister Liu?”
Liu Fenghuang didn’t answer him. She looked at the sky and said coldly, “You destroyed my Teal Jade Sect. Today I will let you pay with blood!” After that, the energy suddenly stirred up around her. The wind roared, and a faint sound of phoenix cry sounded in the sky.
Everyone was shocked. At the same time, they felt a force from ancient times gathering in Liu Fenghuang’s body. Suddenly, a phoenix totem appeared in mid-air. Her body was burning with fire which almost shone half of the sky red.
The phoenix totem cried and turned into a red radiance which rushed down and went into her body. At this moment, a big change happened on Liu Fenghuang. Her body suspended in the air, and a pair of fire phoenix’s wings appeared on her back.
“Phoenix bloodline! She has the blood of ancient phoenix!” Many people exclaimed, and even many of the older generation stared agape. They sighed and said, “Surprisingly, unexpectedly, this little girl is a descendant of the Divine.”
Xiao Chen was also surprised. The Divine was an ancient clan which lived in heaven’s realm. He never expected the blood of the Divine flew in her body. Did she inherit her mother’s blood which was awakened today?
All of a sudden, he felt something wrong. Even if Liu Fenghuang had the blood of the Divine, she was no match for Patriarch Guanshan. So he shouted, “Don’t go!” However, it was too late to stop her. Liu Fenghuang spread her wings and rushed high into the sky like a flame.
Xiao Chen immediately tapped on the ground and turned into a long radiance to catch up. The two people approached Patriarch Guanshan. Liu Fenghuang’s wings fluttered and immediately turned the sky into a sea of fire. People on the ground felt the heat. Countless soldiers at the foot of the mountain were already stunned.
Patriarch Guanshan held up a barrier to resist the fire attack, and his eyes were fixed on her. He sneered, “Descendant of the Divine? I will also take your body!” He then stretched out his hand, and a huge palm appeared and moved to her.
“Get out of the way!” Xiao Chen shouted and immediately moved to the front of Liu Fenghuang like a lightning meteor. He then propped up the barrier and resisted the attack of Patriarch Guanshan. However, his feet sank, and he began to fall down again. He could not perform at his will in the air.
At this moment, he felt his waist was hugged by someone’s hands, and he stopped falling. Liu Fenghuang’s voice sounded in his ear. “I’ll hold you, don’t worry.”
Although being wrapped in flames, Xiao Chen did not feel any scorching heat but only warmth. He looked back and saw a tear drop rolling down from the corner of Liu Fenghuang’s eye, as if it was the sadness before parting.
