139: Phoenix Singing in the Sky

At the same time, Li Xingyan and Li Xiner also found a second-order giant python in the air and were fighting it.

"Crimson Flame Sky Sword."

Li Xingyan held the Obsidian Heavy Sword, Spiritual Qi surged around him, his robes flapped, and then he swung it forcefully.

A crimson flame suddenly appeared, and the sword body was entwined with wisps of golden patterns, as if an ancient Vicious Beast was dormant within it.

With a low shout from him, "Crimson Flame Sky, appear!" The temperature between heaven and earth instantly soared, and all the water vapor within a radius of thirty feet evaporated, turning into swirling white mist.

The Obsidian Heavy Sword emitted a dull sword cry, the flames on the sword body suddenly surged, and the crimson and golden intertwined flames were as substantial as they enveloped Li Xingyan entirely.

He changed his sword art, and the flaming longsword instantly transformed into thousands of sword shadows. Each sword shadow was imbued with a world-destroying Aura, cutting a magnificent trajectory through the air. Wherever it passed, the air twisted and deformed, emitting piercing explosive sounds.

The terrifying sword shadows swept out, not only tearing apart the second-order Yao Beast in front of him, but the thousands of sword shadows also shot towards the snake tide ahead like shooting stars chasing the moon.

The scorching flames and marsh gas ignited upon contact, fire waves surged, heat waves swept through, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of charring.

The sword shadows accurately pierced into the Yao Beast's body, and the intense flames spread wildly along the wounds, burning away the Yao Beast's flesh and blood little by little.

Afterward, Li Xingyan continuously changed his sword art with both hands, controlling the sword shadows to rampage through the enemy ranks.

While fighting, Li Xingyan also conversed with Fire Old, "Teacher, can Perfected Person Qiankun handle it?"

Fire Old pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. The Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python is a Yao Beast known for its defense. Although Qiankun Dao Intent is powerful, fierce, domineering, and excels in both offense and defense..."

"But Mo Lingfeng has only recently achieved Breakthrough, and his Cultivation of Qiankun Dao Intent is not deep. It will be very difficult for him to defeat the Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python."

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Although it's difficult for Mo Lingfeng to defeat the Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python, it's equally difficult for the Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python to defeat him."

"Alas~" Li Xingyan sighed, "Disciple is not actually worried about that. It's just that our Li family has only just entered the Misty Swamp, and we've already encountered such a predicament."

"If we continue, who knows what will happen."

"If Old Ancestor were still here, these Yao Beasts in front of us, he could probably resolve them with a single sword strike!"

Thinking of this, Li Xingyan's heart was filled with deep worry.

Upon hearing this, Fire Old was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I, this old man, have recovered quite a bit now."

"I should be able to protect your safety, and I also disagree with handing over that girl, Li Xiner, to that Great Zhou Dynasty."

"A Phoenix Bloodline of this purity is not something a mere Great Zhou Dynasty can handle."

Just as Li Xingyan was conversing with Fire Old while fighting...

On the other side, Li Xiner also faced two second-order Yao Beasts.

Li Xiner was originally exceptionally talented, and now, having awakened the Phoenix Bloodline, her strength was formidable.

She moved like a startled swan and a soaring Dragon, wielding her longsword. The Phoenix cried softly, and the scorching Phoenix flames incinerated everything, resolving the two second-order Yao Beasts in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Afterward, listening to the cries of her clansmen, Li Xiner's dark hair flew, and her plain white skirt flapped in the poisonous miasma.

"Divine Ability, Phoenix Cry of Nine Heavens!"

She gently raised her jade hand, and a faint blue wind pattern condensed at her fingertips. When she slightly parted her cherry lips, an ethereal Phoenix cry erupted from her Dantian, and the sound waves solidified into thousands of transparent feathers.

Those feathers, imbued with bone-chilling gale, shredded the snake tide into dust before it even touched them.

The dark clouds above the swamp churned from the sound waves, and the originally dense snake swarm seemed to hit an invisible barrier. The scales of the front-row venomous snakes shattered, their internal organs burst, and they exploded into a bloody mist in mid-air.

The snake tide behind remained undeterred, hissing and lunging forward, but Li Xiner's eyes turned cold, and she pushed her palms out, crossing them. The Phoenix cry suddenly rose three octaves, transforming into a hurricane that swept across the entire swamp, drawing all the venomous snakes within hundreds of feet into the eye of the storm.

The snake swarm let out mournful hisses in the wind blades, their twisted bodies cut into countless fragments, and dark green poisonous blood rained down.

Seeing this, the Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python roared in fury, slamming its tail heavily against the ground, attempting to break free from Mo Lingfeng and rush towards Li Xiner, but Mo Lingfeng stopped it in time.

"Haha, you beast, although I can't finish you, you won't escape either."

Originally, Mo Lingfeng had some complaints about Li Xiangyun insisting on keeping Li Xiner.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Great Zhou Dynasty had come for Li Xiner.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't come early or late; they arrived precisely the day after Li Xiner awakened her Phoenix Bloodline.

Therefore, Mo Lingfeng actually advocated for handing over Li Xiner, as other conditions could be negotiated.

But now, seeing the terror of the Phoenix Bloodline, he seemed to understand Li Xiangyun's insistence. After all, with such a terrifying Bloodline, as long as the Li family survived, it would eventually rise again.

This also solidified Mo Lingfeng's previously wavering heart.

After giving Mo Lingfeng a grateful look, Li Xiner lightly tapped her toes and leaped. The wind patterns around her surged, and a faint Phoenix imprint appeared between her eyebrows.

A few drops of crimson blood flowed out, making the Phoenix imprint even more vibrant.

Then, she raised her head and let out one last clear, soaring Phoenix cry, her voice imbued with the majesty and dominance of an ancient divine bird.

With this Phoenix cry, the Void Realm trembled violently, and a giant, colorful Phoenix phantom slowly manifested behind her. The Phoenix's wings spread to a length of a hundred feet, and moonlight, sunlight, and starlight flowed between its feathers. Where its tail feathers swept, ripples appeared in space.

The Phoenix phantom raised its head and let out a long cry, and the sound waves solidified and rushed towards the Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python.

For the first time, the giant python's eyes showed a look of fear, as if seeing a natural enemy. It tried to dodge but found itself locked in by the sound waves.

The Phoenix phantom flapped its wings, and a sky full of flames and strong winds intertwined into a cage, enveloping the giant python and the remaining snake swarm.

Under the intense impact of the sound waves, the Crimson Scale Bone-Eating Python was actually pushed back, and the rest of the snake tide turned into dust.

It was hard to imagine that this was an attack unleashed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, leaving Li Xingyan and the other Cultivators wide-mouthed in astonishment.

In fact, others, including Li Zhongwen, had not had different thoughts from Li Zhongwen.

But when they saw this scene, they all understood Li Xiangyun's actions.

They felt, "If the Li family does not perish, it shall prosper!"

After this strike, Li Xiner's Aura instantly weakened, and her body swayed slightly before she began to fall downwards.

Seeing this, Li Xiangyun quickly stepped forward and caught her.

Looking at the pale, delicate face in his arms, Li Xiangyun asked with heartache, "Xin'er, are you alright?"

Li Xiner replied weakly, "Brother Xingyan, I'm fine, just a little tired."

At this moment, Fire Old's voice also rang out, "Don't worry, this girl is fine. She just consumed some vital blood. After taking some Qi and Blood Pills, she'll slowly recover."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
