Chapter 2132 The Fire-Breathing Bronze Eagle
Pang Shiwu was startled and hurriedly dodged. The flames sprayed onto the floor tiles, instantly melting the ground and creating a huge pit several feet deep and ten feet wide!

The flames burned fiercely in the deep pit, as if tung oil had been poured on them!
The temperature inside the entire sleeping quarters rose sharply, as if it were in an oven!

Fortunately, all the experts were at the Glazed Realm level, and with the Glazed Shield formed by their true qi protecting them, they could basically withstand the high temperature. If they were ordinary experts, they probably would have fled this place long ago!
Wang Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of sorcery is this? It's incredibly powerful!"

Duanmu Yan echoed, "Indeed! It's incredibly powerful! My arrow should have been enough to pierce through clouds and split rocks, easily piercing a mere bronze statue! Yet it couldn't penetrate this bronze sculpture. This great sorcerer's magic is truly formidable!"

Pang Shiwu was nearly burned by the flames and dodged rather awkwardly, feeling extremely annoyed!
Seeing the golden eagle flapping its wings wildly above his head, with what appeared to be flames flickering in its beak, he knew it was about to spew forth a stream of fire again, and immediately slashed out with his sword! The crimson sword light surged three zhang, striking the golden eagle's right claw precisely. With a clang of metal clashing, the probing claw and slashing claw of the bronze right claw were severed!

The bronze eagle seemed to be in pain, letting out a shrill scream and abruptly retracting its right claw. For a moment, everyone felt as if this was a living, breathing bird of prey with flesh and blood, rather than a bronze statue!

That's so weird!
The bronze eagle became enraged immediately after its right claw was severed, and it spat out a stream of fire at Pang Shiwu!
Flames, like dragons, hurtled straight at Pang Shiwu!

This time, Pang Shiwu was on guard. He suddenly drew his Frost Condensation Sword and slid back a foot at the same time. With a flash of sword light, the Frost Condensation Sword unleashed a chilling sword aura dragon that collided head-on with the Flowing Fire Dragon Flame!
A continuous hissing sound filled the air as mist billowed and water splashed everywhere. The sword energy and dragon flames clashed fiercely, like two bloodthirsty bulls locked in a fierce battle in a bullring, neither willing to give an inch!
The flames and sword energy were both exhausted at the same time, and neither of them was able to advance an inch further. The two sides were evenly matched!

Pang Shiwu frowned, secretly alarmed: This golden eagle can actually unleash three times the combat power of the Glazed Realm, no less than me! The Great Wizard's sorcery is simply unbelievable! Fortunately, he is dead! Otherwise, the consequences would be endless! With five times the combat power of the Glazed Realm, plus the enhancement of sorcery, even a master of the same realm like the Light King would probably not be his match!
Fortunately, my elder brother possesses innate lightning power, which is a perfect counter! Otherwise, even if my elder brother had six times the combat power of the Glazed Realm, he probably wouldn't have been able to easily defeat the Great Wizard!

"Damn it, even though that great wizard is dead, he still can't rest easy! He's casting curses everywhere, digging pits and setting traps. He's so damn despicable!" Pang Shiwu cursed.

Feng Jiuxiao said, "But in Gusiluo's eyes, he is a very good person! Loyal and devoted, as Heaven can attest!"

Pang Shiwu suddenly darted into the blind spot behind the golden eagle, his movements as swift as lightning, leaping high into the air, less than ten feet away from the golden eagle!
The golden eagle instinctively sensed the killing intent coming from behind it, suddenly turned around, and opened its mouth to spew out a stream of fire!
Pang Shiwu clearly sensed that the golden eagle's movements had not changed!

The Blood Rain Fragrance Sword had absolutely no effect on suppressing the Golden Eagle!
In an instant, he understood that although the golden eagle had been resurrected, it was still an inanimate object with no flesh and blood or meridians, so it would not be affected by the blood sword's magnetic field at all!

Therefore, its combat power has not declined at all!
Pang Shiwu gritted his teeth and thrust out his sword!

Even if this golden eagle is as hard as iron, he is confident that he can tear it to pieces!
Having just tested his skills and severed both claws of the golden eagle with a single sword strike, Pang Shiwu already knew the answer! No matter how hard the golden eagle was, it couldn't withstand the edge of the Blood Sword!

Don't be fooled by the golden eagle's iron-like toughness and imperviousness to swords and spears in front of Wang Sheng and Duanmu Yan; that's because they are only at the peak of the ninth realm!

If they were also at three times the strength of the Glazed Realm, the golden eagle would have been riddled with holes by the Shu Mountain flying swords and the Rebirth Arrows long ago!
The bronze eagle never expected that the black-clad youth would throw his longsword! Pang Shiwu hurled the blood sword with all his might, and the sword light turned into a rainbow, striking the eagle squarely in the chest!
The Blood Sword, imbued with three times the power of the Glazed Realm, emitted a blazing golden-red light like a branding iron. The moment it pierced the bronze eagle's body, it was as easy as a red-hot branding iron piercing a candle. The bronze body was completely unimpeded, and the Blood Sword went straight through the chest and into the hilt!
The entire blood sword pierced the golden eagle's chest cavity, but it did not come out through its back!

This surprised not only Wang Sheng and the others, but also Pang Shiwu!
He had no idea that his sword could penetrate so deeply!
He expected the blood sword to penetrate about a foot deep!
His plan was simple: once the blood sword had penetrated a foot deep, he would use the Dragon-Capturing Crane-Controlling Technique to pull it out, then stab it again, pull it out again, and repeat this process until he had stabbed the golden eagle to pieces!

But to his surprise, the Blood Sword was completely embedded in the golden eagle's body! And just when he thought the Blood Sword would emerge from the golden eagle's back, it became stuck inside the eagle's body again! It gave him two unexpected surprises in a row!

He tried three spinning attacks, but couldn't pull the blood sword out. He started to get anxious. "Damn it, did it steal my blood sword?"

His concerns were not unfounded; once the bronze eagle flew away, he would be left with nothing but helpless stares!
At this moment, Feng Jiuxiao said, "It can't escape! I'll handle it!" With a wave of his right hand, silently, the golden eagle seemed to be wrapped in an invisible giant net. Its frantically flapping wings suddenly became smaller and smaller. As the invisible giant net tightened, the flapping of its wings became smaller and smaller until it could no longer move!
Once it came to a stop, it hovered in mid-air, seemingly caught in an invisible giant net, so it neither moved nor fell.

At this moment, it seemed to turn back into a bronze statue, returning to its original lifeless state.

Feng Jiuxiao stretched out his right hand, seemingly beckoning, when suddenly a beam of red light burst forth from the golden eagle's chest, arcing through the air before piercing the scabbard at Pang Shiwu's waist! The movement was fluid and seamless!
Duanmu Yan and Wang Sheng exchanged a glance, both raising their eyebrows in silent bitterness!

In the realm of martial arts, Feng Jiuxiao has left the two of them far behind!
When your heart is focused, your energy is focused; do whatever you want!
How is this any different from the Celestial Realm?
Even if Feng Jiuxiao only admits to being a pseudo-Celestial Realm cultivator, what's the use of such humility? In the world today, the two universally acknowledged Celestial Realm cultivators are Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, who is rumored to have received his teachings and therefore poses no threat to him! The other is the Demon Lord, who, although he is irreconcilably opposed to Feng Jiuxiao, is already dead and poses even less of a threat to him!

Therefore, Wang Sheng often wondered, after Zhang Tianshi ascended to heaven or achieved immortality, Feng Jiuxiao would actually be invincible in the mortal realm. Would he still pursue the Celestial Realm? For him, with no rivals in the world, would there still be a difference between the Celestial Realm and the pseudo-Celestial Realm? Would there still be any need to pursue the ultimate breakthrough?

Later, Wang Sheng figured it out: the answer was yes, it was necessary!
Man's greatest enemy is actually himself!

Because if a person cannot break through their own limitations, they cannot surpass others!

Some highly capable people may surpass all their competitors and immediately lose their life goals; the loneliness of being invincible makes them lose their motivation to move forward! Such people need to constantly surpass themselves so that they will never lose their life goals and will always keep moving forward!
Some people with weak abilities cannot surpass anyone. Frequent failures lead to a lack of confidence, hesitation, and reluctance to move forward. These people also need to constantly surpass themselves! By changing their role models and benchmarking themselves against themselves, they can improve step by step, thereby enhancing their self-confidence. When a person has self-confidence, failure is merely a stepping stone to success. Over time, these people with weak abilities will gradually become strong, or at least psychologically strong!

Therefore, no matter what kind of person you are, the one you should overcome most is yourself!
The blood-stained sword was sheathed, and Pang Shiwu immediately fumbled for the hilt, laughing, "That was close!"

The wound left by the blood sword on the golden eagle's chest healed instantly, and a red light suddenly emanated from under its neck, clearly indicating that flames were surging upwards and about to erupt!
