radicalducati 1125. The Moment of Interception
1125. The Moment of Interception
"I originally thought that the disciples of the venerable Shennong must be upright and honest young talents, but I never expected them to behave so despicably!"
"There's nothing we can do. It's truly a misfortune for our sect to have a disciple like me..."
Hearing the Dou Sheng expert leading the Tianyao Phoenix Clan curse him so bitterly, Wei Jiangyuan's smile did not disappear in the slightest. He was not ashamed, but rather proud.
"But now it seems that my design is indeed quite good, given how high it has been praised by our competitors!"
"Old Xiao, let's take them out right now!"
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan team in front of them did not have many strong members; there was only one Dou Sheng leading the team. Compared to their team, which consisted entirely of Dou Sheng level members, they were not even in the same league.
Before the people from Guiyuan Prefecture could even make a move, Elder Yao warned, "Something's not right. Someone's here, and judging by their aura..."
Before the old apothecary could finish speaking, everyone already knew the answer. The person who had arrived had forcefully torn through space and appeared before them. Within this spatial passage, powerful auras, accompanied by deafening dragon roars and phoenix cries, swept out, illuminating the dim passage with multicolored battle qi—a truly magnificent scene.
Xiao Yan glanced over and saw that the powerful figures who had come to their aid were all at the Dou Sheng level, just like them. With just a quick scan, he discovered that the strongest person in the opposing team was a six-star Dou Sheng.
At the same time, the leader of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, a Dou Sheng, also gave a sinister smile: "You're celebrating a little too soon."
Xiao Yan didn't react much to the sudden arrival of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan reinforcements. Their arrival was indeed unexpected, but in the eyes of Guiyuan Mansion, the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was not a powerful force. Their arrival only added some unnecessary variables to this ambush that was almost certain to succeed.
"Brother Xiao Yan, shall we make a move?"
Xun'er asked softly. The others also turned their gazes to Xiao Yan, waiting for him to make a decision.
The only exception was Zi Yan, because the team that came to support the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan did not only include members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, but also included a somewhat unexpected presence—the Northern Dragon King of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!
For a long time, the remaining forces of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan had vanished without a trace, their whereabouts unknown to the Guiyuan Prefecture. Now it seems that the reason they disappeared directly from Zhongzhou was because they sought refuge with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and received their protection.
As the current true patriarch of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Zi Yan was extremely angry to see that the Dragon King of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was actually mixing with their absolute nemesis, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she wished she could rush up and tear him in two immediately.
"Let's do it!"
After a moment's thought and considering the comparison of the two sides' combat strength, Xiao Yan finally decided to engage them in direct combat.
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is considered a veteran in the entire Central Continent. They have made quite a few preparations. If we don't seize this opportunity to take them down, it will be difficult to find them again and gather their strongest members for a concentrated annihilation.
Although their appearance here was indeed unexpected, Xiao Yan and his group had an exceptionally high average strength, and they definitely had the confidence to capture them all.
"Even the clan leader has come to reinforce us, and these guys still dare to stay here! Let's all form a battle formation and keep them here forever!"
The elder leading the Heavenly Phoenix Clan at this trade fair was a three-star Dou Sheng named Phoenix. Seeing that Xiao Yan and his group hadn't retreated, he was somewhat puzzled but also secretly resolved: since this opportunity was so good, and the other side seemed so reckless, he might as well annihilate them here completely!
Upon hearing this command, the other powerful members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan swiftly took up positions in different locations, concentrating their battle aura together. As the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members acted, the phoenix's aura gradually began to rise, clearly indicating that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members were using their own power to directly assist the phoenix through clan-specific methods.
Among the Guiyuan Prefecture's forces, Zi Yan was the most eager, and in a few quick movements, she appeared in front of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's support team.
"Northern Dragon King, I've been searching for you for so long, I never imagined you'd end up mixing with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan! You've truly disgraced me!"
Upon hearing Zi Yan's rebuke, the Northern Dragon King could barely maintain his composure. He threw his head back and laughed out loud, his face contorted with rage: "All of this is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have already successfully led the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
Beside the Northern Dragon King, Huang Tian, the six-star Dou Sheng powerhouse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and its patriarch, seized the opportunity to interject, saying, "Northern Dragon King, there's no need to be angry. As long as we eliminate this person, you can still remain the true leader of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"
"A traitor like the Ancient Dragon of the Void, who has lost even his will, will not be accepted by anyone. You can all just wait to die!"
One was a traitor who had left the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and the other was the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's nemesis, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Zi Yan showed them no kindness. Her first move was a dazzling purple-gold imperial battle aura, the immense aura condensing into a gigantic dragon claw in mid-air, slamming down with the power to tear through space. But before her attack could land, a figure accompanied by brilliant lightning and fire had already arrived beside her, shielding her from the looming pressure from the enemy.
"The Void Slaughtering Claw!"
"Mountain-Shaking Thunder Palm!"
Two extremely powerful fighting techniques were combined, with purple-gold battle aura light intertwining and swirling with blue-white, violent lightning, creating an offensive that would surprise both the Northern Dragon King and Huang Tian, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Both claw and palm prints were imbued with formidable power, already pressuring Huang Tian and the Northern Dragon King even before the attack arrived.
The roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes rang out simultaneously. Huang Tian and the Northern Dragon King supported the heavy battle qi defense on the left and right, respectively. However, with the combined efforts of Zi Yan and Lei Jingxiao, the defense shattered in less than three breaths, and a powerful energy shockwave spread out.
"This woman's strength has improved significantly since then. Consuming the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit has indeed made her powerful. This is our best chance to kill her!"
The Northern Dragon King transmitted his voice to Huang Tian, who nodded in understanding. For the two of them, Zi Yan was indeed an absolute and undeniable enemy.
Because of Zi Yan's presence, the Northern Dragon King, who originally thought he had everything under control, suffered a crushing defeat. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had nowhere for him to stay, so he could only seek refuge with his nemesis, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
As for Huang Tian, he only wanted to use the Northern Dragon King, but at this moment his thoughts coincided with those of the Northern Dragon King. As long as Zi Yan was still alive, she was undoubtedly a great enemy of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. He must make her disappear completely if he had the chance!
