1128. The outcome has been decided.
What Jiufeng wouldn't know is that concealing one's strength is Xun'er's forte.
Before Xiao Yan had fully matured, Xun'er never let him sense her true strength. If even the discerning Xiao Yan couldn't do it, then Jiu Feng, who relied on others to enhance her strength, certainly couldn't either.
Xun'er is now a genuine three-star Dou Sheng. With the help of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, which she has fully mastered, she can contribute to the battle with no less than Xiao Yan if she so chooses.
Xun'er glanced at the defeated Jiu Feng, ignoring his presence, and remained standing beside Xiao Yan. More than killing her severely injured opponent, Xun'er cared about protecting Xiao Yan's safety.
The fire lotus that Xiao Yan had fused with was becoming more and more perfect. Huang Tian was still not giving up and once again sent two clansmen to go with him. The two of them also temporarily obtained a part of his power.
However, Xun'er was like an impenetrable wall, unleashing two Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques that not only caused the two to suffer defeat but also severely injured them once again.
Xun'er, who walks through the golden flames, is as outstanding in strength as in appearance.
As time passed, the flames burning in Huang Tian's eyes gradually subsided, no longer as intense as before. His influence on the other members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan gradually diminished. Faced with this predicament, he truly couldn't find a good way to break the deadlock.
Whether it can continue or not is no longer important, because Xiao Yan has successfully fused with the Fire Lotus.
Six-colored flames rose simultaneously around the fire lotus. This fiery lotus, entirely formed from the fusion of different flames, was extremely beautiful and moving, but no one dared to gaze at it for long. For such an extremely beautiful thing also contained enormous risks; it was like an abyss, ready to devour anyone at any moment.
"It's not easy for Clan Chief Huangtian to come all this way, so let this Fire Lotus properly entertain you!"
……
"Cough cough cough..."
"Chieftain, please hold on a little longer, let's go back to the clan!"
Nine Phoenixes accompanied Huang Tian as they sped off into the distance, utilizing the speed that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was most proud of.
However, Huang Tian's condition was quite poor at the moment. This six-star Dou Sheng level expert had a large part of his body covered in obvious charring. One of his claws had been cut off by more than half. Jiu Feng clearly remembered that this was done by their nemesis, the new empress of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Originally, they were evenly matched with the people from Guiyuan Mansion, but everything changed after Xiao Yan used that Fire Lotus!
The three-star Dou Sheng Phoenix was directly killed and fell, the Northern Dragon King was seriously injured, and even the clan leader Huang Tian was attacked by the puppet and the Taixu Ancient Dragon and was seriously injured.
What frustrated them even more was that there were still pursuers behind them, and they could not stop for a moment. They could only keep activating the remaining fighting spirit in their bodies and try to escape.
"Returning to the clan is useless...cough cough...this time, the Dou Sheng level experts...were all wiped out...the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is...finished..."
Upon hearing this, Jiufeng visibly swayed, but when he sensed the presence of the person beside him, his confidence surged again: "As long as the clan leader is here, we will be able to rise again sooner or later. Besides, we even brought back that skeleton from this trade fair!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tian's eyes immediately sharpened, even revealing a hint of ferocity: "That thing, it's in your hands, isn't it!"
Jiufeng immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Clan Leader, I've been keeping it safe!"
"That's good...cough cough..."
"Nine Phoenixes, listen to me... After this, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is... utterly hopeless..."
"When you return to your clan... you must lead your people to... the route I've already arranged to leave Zhongzhou..."
"Our last hope is... those bones."
Hearing these words, which were clearly a plea for the orphan's life, Jiufeng murmured, "Clan leader, what about you?"
"You go, I...I'll cover you!"
Before Jiufeng could argue any further, a figure surrounded by various flames appeared behind them. Moreover, the person's speed was beyond reason, surpassing both Jiufeng and Huangtian.
They are the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes! When it comes to speed alone on the continent, the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes are absolutely the strongest.
But now, they've been caught up!
Upon seeing that figure, Jiufeng felt an uncontrollable surge of tension and fear.
It's Xiao Yan!
He had just released the fused fire lotus, which was several times more terrifying than the rumors suggested, almost instantly turning the tide of the battle. After releasing the fire lotus, Xiao Yan and Jiu Feng exchanged a glance. That look was so terrifying that Jiu Feng could still remember that deep gaze, and a chilling aura filled her heart.
Huang Tian sensed Xiao Yan's presence earlier than Jiu Feng. He had already made preparations and mobilized the last bit of Dou Qi in his body.
Without turning back, he saw Jiu Feng off one last time: "Go quickly, don't forget my instructions—".
Seeing this, Jiufeng had no other choice. He knew that so many Dou Sheng experts had just fallen, and staying behind would only increase casualties and have no other effect. So he could only head into the distance with a heavy heart.
……
After a fierce battle between the many powerful figures of Guiyuan Prefecture and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, they successfully killed everyone, including the Northern Dragon King.
Only Huang Tian, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and Jiu Feng escaped. Xiao Yan chose to go and hunt them down first. When Xun'er and Zi Yan finally arrived, they only saw the battlefield, which looked like the earth had turned upside down and the sky had been overturned.
Xiao Yan stood to one side, looking slightly disheveled, but his breathing remained steady.
"Xiao Yan, you just killed that scruffy bird like that?" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan with some surprise.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Knowing he had no hope of escaping, he chose to self-destruct."
Then Xiao Yan held a ball of blood that had clearly been purified in his palm: "The demon core has been completely destroyed, and all that's left is this essence blood."
Seeing the blood, Zi Yan still felt a surge of resentment and said, "Self-destruction really let that old bastard get away with it!"
Xun'er then said, "Faced with two Heavenly Demon Phoenixes trying to escape, Brother Xiao Yan has already done an excellent job in preventing the clan leader from escaping."
Zi Yan also pouted and said, "Xun'er, why are you so protective of him? I'm not criticizing him!"
At this moment, Wei Jiangyuan patted Lei Jingxiao on the shoulder and said, "Lei Zi, did you hear that? Quickly think of a way to protect Miss Ziyan. We have absolutely no objections."
