Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 276 The Assault of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix

(P.S.: I'm too tired to write anymore. I'll try harder during the day and aim for 50,000 words in 5 chapters! Come on!)

）

At this moment, the high-level meeting of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was in full swing, but their goal was the same: to kill the so-called Yin-Yang Saint.

At the head of the table sat a middle-aged man in a purple-gold robe, his hands clasped together and his brows furrowed. His golden and majestic eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

This person is Huang Tian, ​​the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, a late-stage Five-Star Dou Sheng!

"Clan leader, what are you hesitating for? If all else fails, I'll take action myself! I must kill that arrogant Yin-Yang Saint!"

To the left of Huang Tian was a woman in a red dress. She looked to be around thirty years old, but her aura was terrifyingly powerful. Her slightly slender eyebrows were slightly raised, exuding a murderous aura, which made the two old men opposite her frown.

The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the leader of the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, a Phoenix, and a mid-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng!

Huang Tian shook his head: "The waters of Zhongzhou are too deep. Since he dares to be so blatant, it means he is not afraid of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"

Phoenix frowned: "Are we just going to do nothing? Let that brat be so arrogant? My Heavenly Phoenix Clan has lost all face. How can we maintain our standing in the Beast Realm like this!"

Huang Tian sighed: "Don't you know the rules of Zhongzhou? Those Dou Di families have set rules that prohibit the birth of a five-star Dou Sheng! If I were to appear in Zhongzhou, I'm afraid I would be immediately attacked and killed by those imperial families."

Huang Tian was confident in his strength and astonishing speed, but he was still wary of the Dou Di family that dominated the Central Plains. After all, he was just a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, a descendant of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix, not the true ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Phoenix stood up: "Then I will go and ambush that fool, and show him the price of offending my Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"

Huang Tian nodded: "Okay!"

Phoenix then left its clan alone and flew towards the Central Plains, its destination the Southern Region of the Central Plains, Tianhe Mountain!

Half a month later, in the Southern Region of Central Plains, at Tianhe Mountain, "Sage, this is the eighth-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix I hunted. Its strength is roughly equivalent to a three-star Dou Zun."

. . . . .

The visitor was an elderly man, who appeared somewhat short and dressed in linen clothes, looking like an inconspicuous old man among the masses.

But this person also has an extremely prestigious title: Sword Master! The Pavilion Master of the Myriad Swords Pavilion.

"Sword Venerable, I didn't expect you to participate in such a grand event? Hmm? Four-star Dou Zun? Interesting. I heard you were seriously injured by the old ghost of the Yellow Springs Pavilion."

"I see your wounds haven't fully healed, yet you still managed to kill an eighth-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix. And that sword intent you exude...you're quite something. Tell me, why did you risk everything to hunt a Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"

Xiao Li smiled faintly. At this moment, he was leaning back on a ball of soft feathers. From a distance, a huge Heavenly Demon Phoenix was lying there, and Xiao Li was sitting on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. This Heavenly Demon Phoenix was no ordinary one, and it exuded an aura that made the Sword Venerable's heart tremble.

Sword Venerable clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "I am honored by your praise, Saint. I was seriously injured by that old ghost of the Yellow Springs, and my disciple and I were killed by that old ghost! I must avenge Tang Ying!"

However, the fighting techniques of the Yellow Springs Pavilion are too insidious, and that old ghost of the Yellow Springs has also learned the vicious fighting techniques of the Heavenly Nether Sect, preventing me from making any progress in my life! How can I talk about revenge!

Then I heard that the Sage had offered a bounty: three Rank 8 pills for killing an Rank 8 Heavenly Demon Phoenix. This old man doesn't ask for the three pills; he only asks the Sage to heal him.

As the Sword Venerable spoke, he knelt down before Xiao Li, but Xiao Li pointed his finger and did not make the Sword Venerable kneel.

"Tsk, the Styx Alliance is getting bolder and bolder! After playing around for half a month, it's time to stop and get down to business!"

Xiao Li stood up and kicked the Heavenly Demon Phoenix beneath him: "Get out of the way!"

The phoenix suddenly shrank, transforming into a beautiful woman dressed in a tattered red dress. Her eyes were filled with terror and fear, and she scrambled to the side.

Sword Master was horrified as he watched this scene.

It seems the rumors I heard on the road were true! The Yin-Yang Saint was attacked by a Dou Sheng-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but the Yin-Yang Saint defeated the Dou Sheng-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix with absolute strength.

The woman before me must be that Heavenly Demon Phoenix at the Dou Sheng level. A female Heavenly Demon Phoenix at the Dou Sheng level—could she be the Phoenix, the leader of the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes? The Yin-Yang Saint is truly terrifying.

Just as the Sword Venerable had imagined, a few days ago, Xiao Li encountered this reckless phoenix coming to challenge him.

Xiao Li readily accepted, but he disliked this arrogant woman who looked down on everyone, so he personally tore the phoenix's pride apart!

Xiao Li immediately activated his beast transformation, the Ancient Dragon Transformation, and forcefully shattered the phoenix. He then used the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Technique to completely enslave the phoenix. However, Xiao Li did not separate the phoenix's consciousness; she was still herself, only her will could no longer control her body!

Furthermore, Xiao Li felt that he lacked a suitable mount. The Ancient Void Dragon was definitely not an option. Even if Zi Yan was willing to let him ride it, the Ancient Void Dragon clan and the old Dragon Emperor would certainly not be happy. Xiao Li could only settle for the Phoenix as a second choice.

After more than ten days of mental torture, Phoenix's spirit was on the verge of collapse. She watched as the Dou Zun and juniors of her clan appeared before her one by one as corpses. What an agony this was!

Among them were many of her own Phoenix Clan members! The Phoenix's pride had long since been extinguished, but perhaps she still harbored a sliver of hope, such as that the Clan Chief would come to her rescue.

"Sword Master, taking this pill will guarantee your injuries are completely healed, and you might even be able to rebuild yourself from the ashes!"

Xiao Li handed a silver pill to the Sword Venerable, who swallowed it without hesitation and then sat down to refine its medicinal power.

"Second Master." Xiao Yan came up behind Xiao Li, followed by Feng Qing'er, whose eyes were empty and who looked like a walking corpse.

"What's wrong? Oh! You've refined the Sea Heart Flame? Not bad, not bad, Seven Star Dou Zong. Judging from your expression, you're not comfortable staying here?" Xiao Li turned around and said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, I want to go back to Starfall Pavilion to look for Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor," Xiao Yan said, scratching his head.

"Looks like it's a side effect of the Burning Technique, right? Go on, don't hold it in too long. If all else fails, this little bird will do." Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan's face flushed red: "Second Master, what are you saying? My heart belongs to Cai Lin, Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Yan Ran!"

"Four women united, huh? Fine, I'm not in a position to criticize you in that regard. Just remember to improve your alchemy skills when you get back, and don't get too caught up in women. Your grandpa was already able to refine eighth-grade pills at your age, and my cultivation level was much lower than yours..."

Xiao Yan pouted. He clearly had a great talent for alchemy, but he couldn't get any praise from Second Master. Xiao Yan was now a high-level seventh-grade alchemist, and he had a 30% success rate in refining peak seventh-grade alchemy!

Compared to the so-called alchemy prodigies of Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan believed he was no less capable, but compared to the achievements of his second master, he was somewhat lacking.

After all, it was truly unbelievable that a Dou Huang could refine an eighth-grade, four-colored pill!

Xiao Yan patted Feng Qing'er's head, and a flicker of emotion appeared in Feng Qing'er's eyes. She then transformed into her true form, and Xiao Yan sat on Feng Qing'er's back, heading towards the Starfall Pavilion.

"This kid's talent for cultivation is outrageous, but how come his alchemy skills can't keep up with his cultivation? Even when refining a peak seventh-grade pill, he makes several mistakes in the ingredient extraction process, causing the herbs to be ruined! What a shameful waste!"

Xiao Li was satisfied with everything else about Xiao Yan, except for his alchemy skills.

A huge, golden creature suddenly descended from the sky and landed right next to Xiao Li.
