Chapter 559 Yellow Bird
The black phoenix in the air spun around, and a black flame enveloped it completely, and then the entire black flame quickly shrank and faded.

When the flames dissipated, Xiaoyun's graceful figure reappeared in the air.

At this moment, Xiaoyun's beautiful face was pale, and she looked obviously exhausted, but she also had a strange sense of beauty.

There were several large holes in her white dress, with bits of cloth hanging on it, revealing her snow-white skin underneath.

And on this white surface, several wounds deep enough to see the bone were vaguely visible, with trickles of blood flowing out, staining half of the clothes red.

In such an intense and long fight just now, the woman inevitably suffered some injuries.

However, although this woman looked seriously injured, her face was full of excitement.

"Finally I killed this beast!"

If he could swallow the demon elixir of this demon bird and refine part of its blood, he would be able to make the blood of the Phoenix in his body more pure and rich. Then, his future path of cultivation would be bright.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyun couldn't help but stare at the corpse of the golden-crowned phoenix with fiery eyes.

Then she stretched out her slender hand, grabbed the head of the golden-crowned phoenix and made it float in front of her chest.

However, just when Xiaoyun was about to take out the demon pill inside, something strange happened!

Suddenly, a dazzling white light appeared not far behind Xiaoyun, and then shot towards the back of the woman at lightning speed.

"Not good!" Xiaoyun's inner senses arose, and a frightening feeling suddenly came over her heart. Without thinking, her whole body rolled in black flames and she flashed to the side.

The next moment, the white light passed through the place where Xiaoyun had just stood. After circling, the light dimmed, revealing a long sword with a cold glow.

Following closely behind the long sword, a young man in black appeared in the flashing white light. He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm. His sharp features were angular on his knife-like face, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes were looking coldly at somewhere in front of him.

A few dozen feet away, a black flame flashed, and Xiao Yun appeared. She looked back at where she had stood with lingering fear, and exclaimed: "Xiao Guang, it's you, why are you here? You followed me! How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, my good disciple, come out." The man in black called Xiao Guang chuckled.

"Disciple?" Just as Xiao Yun was stunned, the huge light curtain formed by the Xuanbing Hanpo Array rumbled and then "popped" into blue light points and slowly dissipated. The extreme coldness that affected the area within a radius of several miles also disappeared quickly.

A young man in white flew over from the side of the ice lake and stopped not far from the man in black. He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Ran Bing! So it was you who did it!" Xiao Yun looked at the young man in white with a gloomy face. Wasn't this the younger guy whom she called for help?

"I'm sorry, Senior Xiaoyun. The conditions you offered are better than yours. Not only did you give me the spiritual object that can help me break through the bottleneck, but you also accepted me as your disciple. This is something I really cannot refuse." The young man in white bowed to Xiaoyun with a helpless look.

"Hehe, I have to say that Xiaoyun, you are very smart. You have been creating confusion along the way to prevent anyone from following you. However, despite all your calculations, you didn't expect that Ran Bing would be my man, right? With such a conspicuous person like him around, it would be easy for me to follow you! Ha, hahaha..." The man in black laughed triumphantly as he spoke.

Then he waved his sleeves and put the golden-crowned phoenix-tail bird head in front of him into the storage bracelet.

"Also, I have to thank you for helping me kill this evil bird, which saved me a lot of trouble." The man in black said proudly.

Afterwards, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the huge corpse of the golden-crowned phoenix in the air. The huge corpse of the monster bird shrank rapidly and was stored in his storage bracelet in a flash.

"Good! Good! Good! You dared to steal my spoils? I'm going to compete with you today! As for you, you ungrateful boy, don't even think about leaving alive today!"

Xiao Yun was furious when she saw that the demon pill and corpse of the golden-crowned phoenix bird were taken away by the man in black. The demon bird that she had killed with great effort was actually used as a wedding dress by someone else. The key point was that this demon pill was extremely important to her, and she was reluctant to give it up unless it was absolutely necessary. Xiao Yun was furious and took out a blue array from her arms. After quickly pinching a spell with one hand, she pointed at the array.

A stream of black and red spiritual energy shot out from the tip of the index finger and sank silently into the formation.

The next moment, bursts of thunder suddenly sounded within a radius of several miles.

"This is..." The man in black was suddenly startled.

Before he could react, dozens of blue beams of light shot up into the sky, and a huge blue light shield exactly the same as the previous one suddenly appeared, enveloping him, Ran Bing, and Xiao Yun.

"Mysterious Ice Cold Soul Formation! Wasn't the flag controlling the formation destroyed? How can it still be running?" The black-clothed man's face darkened and he looked at the white-clothed young man with a sharp gaze.

"Master, I don't know either. I clearly destroyed one of the control flags just now." The young man in white was startled and said in panic.

But to their surprise, Xiao Yun did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, she looked at the place more than a hundred feet away from them in doubt and shouted, "Who? Get out here!"

Suddenly, a young man in white appeared on the empty ice surface. Judging from his astonished face, it was Ye Ming.

At this time, a layer of purple spiritual energy on Ye Ming's body was dissipating, and a talisman covered with silver tadpole characters fell off automatically and was casually collected by him.

"Haha, I said, this is purely an accident, do you believe it or not..." Ye Ming laughed dryly, feeling depressed. The sudden appearance of the man in black was completely beyond his expectation, and he did not expect that the young man in white was actually his apprentice, working with him from inside and outside to snatch the demon pill and corpse of the golden crowned phoenix bird.

This thing was something he had been determined to obtain, but it was unexpectedly taken away by a third person. Ye Ming would never let this happen. So he did not run away as soon as possible like the cute girl.

Instead, he used the Taiyi Huaqing Talisman, became invisible, and quietly approached, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the man in black and kill him with one blow.

But he didn't expect Xiao Yun to suddenly activate the Xuanbing Hanpo formation again, and one of the thick blue light beams appeared right under his feet, forcing him out of his invisible state.

"Hey, you, you human cultivator!"

Not only was Xiaoyun surprised, the man in black was also surprised by Ye Ming's sudden appearance. When he was following them from a distance, he already knew that Ye Ming was in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm.

But at this time he was able to sneak into his place over a hundred feet away silently. He subconsciously used his spiritual sense to carefully scan Ye Ming and finally discovered Ye Ming's identity as a human cultivator.

However, while he was surprised and doubtful, he once again confirmed that Ye Ming was really only in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and only then did he feel relieved.

Xiao Yun's expression changed quickly, and she suddenly smiled at Ye Ming: "Friend Ye, this Xiao Guang is the most vindictive person. Today you caught him doing something bad, he will definitely not let you go. Why don't you help me to restrain him and we can kill him together, okay?"

She was surprised to see Ye Ming suddenly appear, but after quickly weighing the pros and cons, she immediately chose to bring Ye Ming to her side. No matter what Ye Ming's purpose was, the biggest enemy at this moment was Xiao Guang on the opposite side. She had to kill him before considering other things.

"Hehe, in fact, when two seniors fight, there is no need to consider me." Ye Ming smiled slightly and was unmoved.

"Ran Bing, go and kill this man!"

However, the man in black did not take Ye Ming seriously. After giving a casual order to the young man in white, he looked at Xiao Yun with a bloodthirsty look.

"Yes, Master!" The young man in white responded respectfully, but in his heart he cursed the man in black. It was something you could easily solve, but you made me take the risk.
