Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 198 Are you subordinates of the Dragon and Phoenix Son?

"Ok?"

Feng Qing'er seemed to sense something, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she looked in the direction of the gaze.

Before their eyes was a young man dressed in a black robe, with a flag shrouded in black mist slung across his back. He was surrounded by wisps of purplish-black aura, and his appearance exuded the sinister aura of a demonic cultivator.

Feng Qing'er was puzzled and didn't recognize Xiao Yan's identity for a moment, but that undisguised gaze made her feel a sense of disgust, and she vaguely felt that this aura was somewhat familiar.

"The Three Heavenly Phoenixes, you've arrived too!"

Qi You's voice was tinged with resentment, and his face darkened completely.

The Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes were wanted by the six ancient clans and escaped from the Phoenix Nest in Wutong. Everyone knew they were the henchmen of the Dragon and Phoenix Sons.

The fact that this group of people has appeared here now is clearly on the orders of the Dragon-Phoenix Son to seize the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!

This is bad!

Qi You unconsciously clenched her fists, her fingers turning white from the excessive force.

He himself was merely a one-star Dou Sheng, but among the Three Phoenixes of the Heavenly Demon Realm, Phoenix was already a two-star Dou Sheng, and the other two were roughly equal in cultivation to him. Facing three opponents alone, he had no chance of victory…

Feng Qing'er narrowed her beautiful eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan and Qi You.

"Elder Phoenix, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit had just shown signs of being born when the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void came looking for it. They must have received the news beforehand."

Judging from his association with humans, he's probably an accomplice that Xiao Jibai found!

"I know."

A chilling killing intent flashed across Phoenix's eyes, and her gaze landed on Qi You as if locking onto prey.

Her voice was icy as she sneered, "The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void was once one of the three great families of magical beasts, yet now they've stooped so low as to willingly become lackeys of the human race? They even imprison human cultivators without killing them?"

Qi You snorted coldly and said, "At least it's much better than the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"

"You're sharp-tongued and quick-witted; you won't leave here alive today!"

Phoenix suddenly clenched its fist.

In an instant, the fire-attribute energy in the surrounding world frantically converged into her palm, and the crimson-gold flames surged like living things, condensing into a giant fire phoenix phantom with a wingspan of thousands of feet!

Every feather on the Phoenix's wings was clearly visible, burning with flames powerful enough to incinerate everything, distorting and scorching the very space around it, emitting a hissing sound.

"Die!"

Her slender arm suddenly swung downwards.

"Wow!"

The crimson-gold phoenix phantom let out a deafening cry, carrying the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and rushed straight towards Xiao Yan and the others!

Wherever it passed, space was torn apart like thin paper, leaving behind dark cracks. The earth trembled violently, and the withered bones and rubble on the ground were instantly vaporized by the high temperature. Even the miasma in the distance was burned away!

A terrifying heatwave swept over them, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, as if even their souls were about to be devoured by the flames. Everyone present felt their hair stand on end, and a sense of despair, originating from instinct, surged into their hearts!

"There's no way to stop it..."

Looking at the crimson fire phoenix that blotted out the sky, Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. This level of confrontation was simply beyond his ability to intervene.

"what!!!"

The scorching heatwave was almost upon them, and at this critical moment of life and death, Qi You suddenly let out a roar that shook the entire valley.

His robes suddenly ripped apart, and a terrifying dragon aura, far exceeding any he had before, surged out from his body, sweeping around like a black tornado.

"boom--!"

Qi You's pupils transformed into vertical pupils, fine purple dragon scales appeared on his skin, his blood surged wildly within him, and even his aura carried a hint of savagery and domineering power.

He activated a forbidden secret technique from the inheritance of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, achieving a sublimation of his ultimate realm and forcibly boosting his cultivation level temporarily!
"drink--!"

Qi You suddenly looked up and shouted, the void behind him suddenly distorted, and a purple ancient dragon phantom thousands of feet tall slowly materialized.

The ancient dragon's body was covered with thick scales, its golden vertical pupils exuded an awe-inspiring majesty, its claws were as sharp as divine weapons, and a faint spatial power swirled around its body, causing the heavens and earth to tremble with every breath.

"Break it for me!"

Qi You's fighting spirit surged wildly, and the purple ancient dragon phantom slowly raised its enormous dragon claw, slamming it down with the power to annihilate everything, towards the oncoming Crimson Fire Phoenix!
"boom--!!!"

The moment the dragon claw collided with the fire phoenix, a terrifying energy shockwave spread out like a tsunami, causing the entire Bone Mountain Range to shake violently and the ground to crack open into a bottomless abyss!

The Crimson Phoenix let out a mournful cry, its fiery body shattering inch by inch under the dragon's claws, eventually dissipating into countless sparks.

"cough……"

After the attack, Qi You staggered back several steps, the purple dragon scales around his body rapidly receding, and his surging aura deflated instantly like a punctured balloon. Phoenix's beautiful eyes narrowed, a hint of jealousy flashing in them: "The secret technique inherited by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, the True Form of the Ancient Dragon..."

The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void is truly fortunate. As one of the three great families of magical beasts, our clan and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan have long since degenerated in their bloodline.

Only your Ancient Void Dragon bloodline remains intact, even preserving such ancient secret techniques in an orderly manner. It's truly disheartening..."

Then, a cold glint appeared in the phoenix's eyes: "But it doesn't matter. As long as His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor obtains the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and successfully reclaims the throne, the bloodline of my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will naturally return to its peak!"
By then, your entire Ancient Void Dragon clan will be utterly wiped out!

"Don't think about it!"

Blood kept spilling from Qi You's mouth, staining his clothes red. If Xiao Yan hadn't been supporting him tightly, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago. Even so, his mouth remained defiant.

"As long as I live, I will never let you succeed!"

"Oh? You can probably only use that ancient forbidden technique once!"

Phoenix chuckled, clenched her fist, and the fire-attribute energy in the surrounding world gathered wildly once more, with even more intense crimson-gold flames churning in her palm.

In an instant, another phantom of a fire phoenix with wingspans of a thousand feet condensed. This fire phoenix was surrounded by crimson flames, its eyes were even more ferocious, and the power it exuded was several times stronger than the previous attack.

Phoenix raised her hand, pointing at the swaying Qi You, a cruel smile curving her lips.

"How will you defend against this second attack?"

The scorching heat made everyone's skin burn, but their hearts felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his nails almost digging into his palms, his mind racing, but he still couldn't come up with a way to break the deadlock.

The Heavenly Fire Venerable gazed at the approaching Crimson Fire Phoenix, his expression filled with melancholy.

He was fortunate enough to return to the mortal realm and live through such a magnificent era; it was enough. However, he still felt some regret at not being able to witness the epic battle between the Dragon-Phoenix Son and the Sword Emperor's successor.

"Waaaaah, I still have so much delicious food that I haven't eaten yet..."

Zi Yan pouted, her eyes reddened, and her little face looked mournful.

Qi You was also filled with despair. His tough words just now were just a show of bravado. He no longer had any strength left to block this attack.

The difference of just one star in the Dou Sheng realm is more terrifying than the gap between major realms in the past. How can one easily overstep this level?
Seeing everyone in dire straits, Feng Qing'er revealed a devout yet manic smile.

"Hahaha! The final victory belongs to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan! It belongs to the great Son of the Dragon Phoenix!"

Her voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire Bone Mountain Range and even spreading beyond the mountains, her tone filled with an arrogant and domineering air.

Phoenix remained indifferent, waving his hand.

The Crimson Phoenix, carrying destructive power, crashed down like a meteor. In an instant, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and it seemed there was no way out.

"boom!"

At this critical moment, outside the Skeleton Mountain Range, the Nether Serpent Mountain Range, which had already been broken in two, suddenly trembled!
A terrifying aura of sainthood suddenly awakened, like a sleeping behemoth opening its eyes. It transformed into a dazzling stream of light, tearing through the sky with teleportation speed and instantly descending upon the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, a giant hand materialized out of thin air, its palm lines swirling with a faint aura of death from the underworld, and with an imposing aura that looked down upon the heavens and earth, it gently patted the Crimson Fire Phoenix.

"Bam—!"

The Crimson Phoenix shattered instantly, the countless sparks in the sky were immediately extinguished, and even the remaining heat waves were swallowed up by the cold air.

"who!"

Phoenix's brow twitched suddenly. She looked in the direction of the sound with a mixture of shock and anger, only to see a tall male figure blocking Zi Yan and the others' path.

The man was dressed in a black robe, with three eerie snake-like patterns appearing in his eyes. His expression was somewhat blank, and he was surrounded by an intense, serpentine aura.
Xiao Yan asked in surprise, "Judging from the direction he came from... he's a powerful member of the Nine Netherworld Python clan, but why would he help us?"

Just then, a soft, gentle voice, tinged with a hint of timidity, quietly rang out.

"You just mentioned... the Son of the Dragon and Phoenix? You are... his subordinates?"

Everyone turned their heads suddenly and saw a girl dressed in a light green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) slowly flying down from the sky.

She had a pretty face with a touch of childishness in her eyes, but the way she swayed her waist revealed the unique charm and allure of a snake woman.

In the past, people would have praised her for her combination of innocence and allure.

But now, their attention has fallen on the six figures that seem to be attendants beside the girl!

Among the six, the leader exuded an incomparably fierce aura, and his majestic holy might spread out as if it were a tangible substance, revealing him to be another Battle Saint!
Although the remaining five people had not reached the level of Dou Sheng, the semi-saint pressure surrounding them was equally formidable, and each of their auras was enough to inspire awe in ordinary Dou Zun.

The unrestrained and flamboyant holy power intertwined, causing everyone present to be deeply shaken!
