C29 (1/2)
After adjusting my angle, I gathered all of my strength into the tip, and rushed out with my back half bent. When I was passing through the raven formation, I met with an obstruction, but I was still fighting with my life on the line. Seeing this, Cai Qilong immediately drove the judge pen to the hole at the bottom of my feet, turned his right hand, and the tip of the pen shot into the bottom of my foot. I felt only a piercing pain, a piercing pain that made me howl out loud, and the power that had been accumulating in my body suddenly exploded.
With a loud boom, I successfully broke through the formation of crows and flew far away.
I shouted to Hong Jiugong, ”Old man, we have been locked on by the Hundred Demons! There are many demons within a radius of a few miles! ”
I noticed that Old man Hong's right hand that was holding onto the sword was starting to tremble slightly. Ling Yanji seized the opportunity and used the last of the tin cane's needles to attack Hong Jiugong's fatal points, wanting to block it with his sword. However, his hand lost all its strength, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.
I was the first to react. With a speed that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, I erected my two wings and protected the Old man Hong inside them, while I was also injured. The Fire Phoenix didn't know why, but it would continue to hover in the air, not daring to come down to kill Ling Yanji. Hong Jiugong did save my life, but the sharp needle pierced through my wings and embedded itself into my flesh.
I used my weak breath to say to Hong Jiugong, ”Old man, you again … He owes me … A life! ”
Hong Jiugong laid the unconscious Wang Wenjie flat on the ground as he attempted to order the fire phoenix to attack. But no matter how much he ordered, the fire phoenix would not dare to come down. Just as Old man Hong was puzzled, Cai Qilong and Wang Da Gu ran over. The two of them looked at Wang Wenjie who was lying on the ground.
Cai Qilong said: ”Master, I'm talking about something that I shouldn't have, Fire Phoenix looks like he's scared!”
Cai Qilong's words woke the person in his dreams. Hong Jiugong then realized, wasn't Phoenix's mortal enemy Crow?
Hong Jiugong remembered that this was an extremely dark place, filled with dense yin energy, hundreds of demons running rampant, and the fire phoenix attribute was fire, hence he was naturally afraid. He recalled the fire phoenix back into the atlas, and from the penultimate page of the atlas, he once again summoned out a gigantic azure dragon coiled around his head. The azure dragon's body was like a long snake, its surface was covered with bright green scales, and in the middle was a white stripe from beginning to end.
The azure dragon slowly opened its coiled tail, turning into a swimming dragon that shot through the clouds in the sky. It writhed and let out a dragon's roar that could shake the entire mountain, until finally, Hong Jiugong used his sword to guide the azure dragon. The dragon's tail swept across the trees with a gust of wind, causing hundreds of trees to fly everywhere.
Hong Jiugong took the opportunity to lure Ling Yanji to an empty spot. The Azure Dragon was still moving back and forth in the sky, its body was covered with silver-white lightning, the Azure Dragon's eyes were fixated on Ling Yanji's body, and it stopped all its movements. Behind the Azure Dragon was a full moon, and right now, it was standing right above Ling Yanji's head.
Wang Da Gu, this bumpkin, had lived for most of his life, but this was the first time he saw a dragon.
The lightning that was gathering on the Azure Dragon's body gradually grew stronger. Ling Yanji held the tin cane tightly, but the expression on her face still did not change, and actually closed her eyes. His body began to undergo yet another change as the color of the tin cane changed to a deep red.
Ling Yanji's voice turned from weak to strong, finally changing into a loud soprano, floating far away in the forest of mountains, with some echoes reflecting back. The Azure Dragon opened its mouth, and the light around it was filled with energy, similarly, it was gradually becoming thicker. The light of the moon started to dim, and the light ball in the Azure Dragon's mouth was aimed at Ling Yanji, waiting to be released.
Wang Da Gu stretched out his hand, but he could no longer see his fat fingers. He could only see the lightning ball in the mouth of the Azure Dragon in mid-air and Ling Yanji, who was glowing brightly because she had borrowed the power of the tin cane to absorb the moonlight.
