81: Grab the egg, run away, and act separately

“Squawk!” Huang Qi shrieked furiously, liquid Nirvana Phoenix Flame swirling on his sharp Phoenix Beak, its extreme temperature distorting the air.

The Phoenix Beak struck like lightning, pecking at the sword light. The power of decay and the Nirvana power of the flames devoured each other. Nirvana Phoenix Flame inherently represented infinite vitality.

After all, Ji Yi had made the first move; a trace of the power of decay penetrated the flowing flame’s defense, corroding a large hole into Huang Qi’s Phoenix Beak.

“Oh-ho! That scruffy bird, you’ve ruined your looks!” Wang Fatty began his verbal assault.

“Damn it!” Demon Phoenixes were vain; with a hole in his Phoenix Beak, how could he face anyone in the future?

With a spread of his Phoenix wings, he swept towards Ji Yi. At this moment, his rationality had been burned away by anger. To hell with the Demon Phoenix Egg, to hell with pure blood! He only wanted to tear Ji Yi into ten thousand pieces and grind him to dust.

“What a great Opportunity!” Wang Fatty’s figure transformed into a gust of wind and flew towards the Demon Phoenix Egg. Huang Qi had been guarding against him and Xiao Yu just now, but now was a prime Opportunity.

Wang Fatty’s actions caught Huang Qi’s attention, and he regained a sliver of rationality. His most important task now was to guard the Demon Phoenix Egg. Once he devoured her and ascended to pure blood, killing these few Human Race members would be as easy as turning his hand.

With a flap of his Phoenix wings, his body spun around. He needed to return to the Demon Phoenix Egg to guard it.

“Trying to leave? It’s not that easy! Brother Xiao, help stop him. Afterward, I’ll give each of you a great saint medicine,” Ji Yi shouted.

“Wind Blade!” Upon hearing such a good offer, Xiao Yu chopped with his right hand like a blade, and a thousand-meter-wide wind blade moved to block Huang Qi.

“You all deserve to die!” Huang Qi was beyond enraged, because he saw Wang Fatty rapidly approaching the Demon Phoenix Egg.

His wings folded, and his body spun rapidly. The flames filling the world were drawn by him to form a horizontal flame tornado.

Huang Qi transformed into a streak of light, relying on his flame defense, and directly crashed into the wind blade.

“Heaven’s Net, Earth’s Trap!” Xiao Yu raised one hand to the sky and pressed the other to the ground. In mid-air, golden power surged, and golden nets appeared before Huang Qi.

The ground trembled, and the earth churned. Earthen walls rapidly rose, ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters. Dozens of earthen walls stood tall on the ground, seemingly reaching for the clouds, a truly magnificent sight.

The flame storm surrounding Huang Qi grew larger and larger, quickly expanding into a flame tornado over a thousand meters in diameter.

Layer after layer of golden nets were pierced, and wall after wall of earth were shattered. The erupting Huang Qi was unstoppable.

“Pangzi, hurry!” While Huang Qi was being obstructed, Ji Yi had already swept ahead of him.

Huang Qi blasted through all the earthen walls’ defenses, bringing rolling flames with him as he arrived before Ji Yi.

“Overturning Sea Sword!” Ji Yi pointed his Starfall Sword at the ground. As Huang Qi plummeted, he flicked his Starfall Sword upwards.

Behind Ji Yi appeared a vast ocean. The same swordsman in green robes stood on a lone boat, drifting towards the center of the sea.

A massive figure began to emerge in front. The part of its body that was visible already exceeded a thousand meters. As it sank beneath the sea, the water closed, stirring up ten-meter waves.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of the swordsman in green robes, as the overlord of the sea, it would not tolerate others passing through its territory.

“Whoosh…” The sea surged. A five-thousand-meter-long behemoth leaped out of the water. With an agile flip, its giant tail tore through the Void Realm, bringing a violent Void Realm storm crashing down on the swordsman in green robes.

The swordsman in green robes stood with his hands behind his back, watching the giant tail descend like the collapsing sky. A sword was stuck beside his feet.

When the giant tail was a few meters above his head, he finally moved.

His right hand gripped the sword hilt, and with a flick of his sword, the Dragon Whale found itself getting further and further away from that tiny human. It looked down and revealed a look of horror.

Because it found itself constantly rising, the sea beneath it had been lifted by this human, revealing the seabed ten thousand feet below. The ocean overturned, pressing the Dragon Whale to the seabed, directly flipping it over.

Ji Yi once again invoked Dao Traces. A massive wave was lifted by Ji Yi’s Starfall Sword, completely engulfing Huang Qi and the flames. The vast ocean surged, sweeping across the world.

“Break for me!” Huang Qi roared. The surrounding flames could not be extinguished even by the Spiritual Qi-formed ocean. The flame storm spun faster and faster, its range growing larger and larger. The flame storm, in turn, enveloped the ocean. This power was truly world-destroying.

“Brothers, let’s go!” With Xiao Yu and Ji Yi’s obstruction, Pangzi successfully obtained the Demon Phoenix Egg and put it away.

“Go!” The three activated their extreme Profound Truth, transforming into two streaks of sword light and one streak of immortal light, quickly fleeing.

“I’m going to kill you all!” Huang Qi erupted with Spiritual Qi, transforming into a streak of light and chasing after Ji Yi and the other two.

Unfortunately, he had not comprehended the extreme Profound Truth, and could only watch helplessly as Ji Yi and the other two got further away. Never had Huang Qi hated his Comprehension Ability so much as at this moment.

“Ah!” A sorrowful howl came from behind. Ji Yi and the other two exchanged glances, thinking that Demon Phoenix might have gone mad with rage.

After turning a corner and continuing to flee for another thousand miles, Ji Yi and the other two finally stopped. They should be safe now.

“Phew!” All three stopped to catch their breath. They had also erupted with Spiritual Qi, and their Meridians were operating under overload. Now they were all exhausted.

“Here! Invincible Brother, this is yours. I really can’t bear to part with it,” Wang Fatty said with a pained expression, handing the Demon Phoenix Egg to Ji Yi. He knew that this was mainly Ji Yi’s credit.

“Thanks. One for each of you.” Ji Yi took out two great saint medicines and handed them to the two. Neither of them was polite. Among good Fellow Daoists, there was no need for politeness; politeness would only lead to estrangement.

“Now that we have the Demon Phoenix Egg, what are your plans next?” Wang Fatty asked.

“Of course, we’ll continue exploring here. There are the treasures of that quasi-emperor Demon Phoenix here. This Demon Phoenix Egg, strictly speaking, isn’t even her wealth,” Ji Yi said.

“I agree. Let’s split up, but be careful of that mad Demon Phoenix. After all, we’re not her match,” Xiao Yu nodded.

“Okay, take this. This is a signal talisman. If anything happens, we’ll send a signal. We can’t transmit messages here, so we have to rely on this.” Wang Fatty handed Ji Yi and Xiao Yu each a jade talisman.

“Alright, let’s find Opportunities. When it’s time to leave, we’ll meet up first. Leaving will be the real challenge; I estimate there will be Kings and Saints arriving,” Ji Yi reminded them.

Wang Fatty and the other nodded, and then they split up. After all, when looking for Opportunities, it was best to act alone.
