Chapter 237 Battle of Tianfeng

"People from the Central Plains!"

"How dare you kill a centurion!"

As soon as Gu Guanqi appeared, the other Xianbei soldiers immediately became alert, and more than a dozen soldiers reacted and charged towards Gu Guanqi.

Gu Guanqi reached out, and in an instant, countless strands of Heavenly Silkworm Demon Silk surged out, piercing through the bodies of those soldiers.

"Ah!" "Ah, a monster!"

Screams rang out instantly, but stopped abruptly the next moment; all of them had been poisoned and died on the spot.

This scene completely stunned everyone present.

The Xianbei civilians were terrified, and the remaining twenty or so Xianbei soldiers were so frightened that they turned and ran away.

With a gentle wave of his other hand, Gu Guanqi unleashed a torrent of silk threads that surged forth like a burst dam. In an instant, all the soldiers were caught by the silk threads and, before they could even react, collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Dozens of Xianbei soldiers were all killed.

The villagers of Qiumu looked at Gu Guanqi in fear, but no one dared to run or make a sound.

At this moment, Qiu Muxi, who was being held in Xi Wei's arms, asked, "Brother Gu, will you kill us?"

When Qiu Muxi spoke, Da Ximu was startled. She tried to cover Qiu Muxi's mouth, but it was too late. Her face turned deathly pale, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Gu Guanqi looked at Qiu Muxi, a slight smile on his face, and said, "I won't kill you, I'll only kill bad guys!"

"Thank you, Brother Gu!" Qiu Muxi's eyes were also filled with fear. "Mother said that these bad people will take away all our cattle and sheep, and we will all starve to death this winter."

Gu Guanqi glanced at the villagers of Qiumu Village, sighed softly, and said, "You—you should move away as soon as possible!"

Although he was going to the Xianbei royal court, it was too far to be of immediate use. Even if he killed the Xianbei king immediately, some of his decrees would not be delivered so quickly.

If these people from Qiumu Village were involved, they would inevitably be purged by other Xianbei soldiers.

At this moment, the old man who had almost been killed, and who was suspected to be the shaman of Qiumu Village, walked over tremblingly, wanting to kneel down before Gu Guanqi.

Gu Guanqi slightly raised his hand, preventing the old man from kneeling down.

The old man stammered, "Thank you—sir, we—we will migrate as a whole village first thing tomorrow morning, we..."

The tribe is about to have its big winter gathering—as long as we go to the tribe center, we'll be fine!

Gu Guanqi nodded slightly.

He turned his head and saw Mo Baichan looking at the corpses with a sorrowful expression, her hands forming a hand seal and her mouth chanting continuously.

Although Gu Guanqi wasn't entirely clear on the specific content of Mo Baichan's chanting, he roughly understood that it was similar to a ritual for the deceased in the Central Plains.

Mo Baichan finally stopped after a while.

Gu Guanqi asked, "Miss Mo Bai, do you think I shouldn't have killed these people?"

"No," Mo Baichan shook her head slightly and said, "It's all my fault. If I had discovered Tan Shixuan's ambition earlier and stopped him sooner, or if I had been able to ensure that the Xianbei people were well-fed and clothed, there wouldn't have been so many deaths."

Gu Guanqi remained noncommittal.

In his view, war is something that cannot be stopped. Even if there is no Tan Shixuan, there will be others. Even if there is only one race in the world, there will still be various internal struggles, and death and bloodshed are unavoidable.

Gu Guanqi then looked at the shaman and said, "Please prepare two places for us to stay. We will rest here tonight."

"Okay, okay, I'll go arrange it right away." The shaman quickly agreed.

Qiu Muxi opened his mouth, wanting to invite Gu Guanqi, but after all, he was six or seven years old and had a concept of what had happened today, so he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He then looked at Mo Baichan and asked, "Sister, are you going home?"

Mo Baichan walked over, gently patted Qiu Muxi's head, and said, "Brother, your sister is going to do something far away with Brother Gu. I will come back after I finish what I'm doing."

Qiu Muxi nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for my sister to come back."

Mo Baichan then said to Da Ximu, "Auntie, please take good care of yourself. Don't worry, the war will end soon, and Uncle and the others will be back soon."

Da Ximu knew Mo Baichan's identity, so she didn't doubt Mo Baichan's words. She was immediately overjoyed and said, "Saint—Baichan, really?"

Mo Baichan said, "It definitely will."

After saying that, Mo Baichan patted Qiu Muxi's head again and said, "Little brother, you must listen to your aunt. I'm leaving now!"

"Okay." Qiu Muxi nodded.

Mo Baichan turned and walked to Gu Guanqi's side, calling out softly, "Brother Gu."

Let's go!

Immediately, Gu Guanqi took Mo Baichan and left with the shaman.

Before long, the shaman led us to the middle of Qiumu Village, where there were two very clean tents.

The shaman also prepared to arrange for someone to serve Gu Guanqi and Mo Baichan, but Gu Guanqi and Mo Baichan refused.

Afterwards, Gu Guanqi and Mo Baichan each moved into a tent.

The next morning, Gu Guanqi and Mo Baichan had a meal together at the shaman's house.

Gu Guanqi was also eating Xianbei food for the first time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, but it was alright.

After finishing their meal, Gu Guanqi left with Mo Baichan.

Mo Baichan was very familiar with the Xianbei people, so with her guidance, Gu Guanqi avoided detours and arrived that afternoon.

We have arrived at Hucheng, the new base of the Xianbei royal court!

Hu City was the first city Gu Guanqi saw after arriving in Xianbei. However, it consisted of houses built with earthen and stone walls, and it was not comparable to an ordinary town in Qian Kingdom.

However, this Hu city is very large, quite vast at first glance, built on a grassland, with a large river flowing by.

Gu Guanqi took Mo Baichan and flew to a large mountain far from Hu City.

The mountains are barren, without a single tree in sight. Although there is some grass, it has turned yellow, and there is mostly yellow sand.

"That's Hu City!" Mo Baichan pointed to Hu City and said, "However, Brother Gu, there are at least seventy or eighty thousand troops in Hu City, as well as many Xianbei experts, and also Duanmu Xian from your Central Plains and that strange Tianfeng. Are you really planning to venture in alone?"

Gu Guanqi said, "You should wait for me here. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out later, I won't be able to take care of you."

"I'm sorry," Mo Baichan said, "I can't help you."

"I don't need any help."

After saying that, Gu Guanqi stepped forward and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Hu City. Soon, he entered Hu City.

Hu City, inside a palace with earthen walls.

Duanmu Xian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a array plate floating above her head, and streams of unique Qi were being poured into her body.

After a long while, the array plate stopped rotating. She slowly opened her eyes and said, "Tianfeng, I am ready."

Tianfeng slowly walked out of the room next door. It looked at Duanmu Xian and asked, "I think it is still necessary to confirm with you again, are you really going to completely refine that divine bloodline?"

Actually, you can already greatly enhance your strength by utilizing some of that bloodline's energy; there's absolutely no need to risk refining it. Refining that thing could very well bring unpredictable consequences.

Duanmu Xian looked at Tianfeng and said, "Can I beat you right now?"

Tianfeng shook her head and said, "We can't beat them."

Duanmu Xian said, "I made a deal with you, and I will eventually pay the price. Although you don't say it, I know very well that my final consequences may be more painful than death, won't they?"

Tianfeng remained silent.

Duanmu Xian said, "So, it's only by refining this divine bloodline that I'm able to gain the powerful strength to counterbalance your energy, isn't that right?"

Tianfeng nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed possible. If this bloodline is truly a divine bloodline, after you refine it, you may very well obtain mysterious energy that can counterbalance my causal power."

Duanmu Xian said, "So, it just so happens that you also want to refine the bloodline of the gods through me and see what the gods of the Xianbei are like, while I want to obtain energy to keep you in check."

Tianfeng said, "Then this will be the third deal between us. After this deal is completed, and I kill Gu Guanqi, I will collect my reward from you."

"I know," Duanmu Xian said.

"Alright," Tianfeng said, "Perfect timing. I'm also very curious to know how this Xianbei god resisted the strange power in Kunxu."

Immediately, Tianfeng pointed out, and a stream of icy power instantly flowed into the array plate. Instantly, the array plate shone brightly and began to rotate once more, with a surge of powerful energy rapidly flowing into Duanmu Xian's body.

In that instant, waves of bloody light emanated from Duanmu Xian's body, and strange patterns could be clearly seen appearing on her exposed skin, such as her face and arms.

"what!"

Duanmu Xian let out a hysterical scream of pain. The next moment, her skin began to crack, but strangely, the blood was still flowing inside her skin, but it did not seep out. Instead, it slowly turned into a pale gold color.

Tianfeng slowly withdrew her hand, about to speak, when she suddenly raised her head and said, "Hmm, what bad luck, Gu Guanqi just had to come at this time. You stay here and refine it slowly, I'll go kill Gu Guanqi!"

Duanmu Xian let out a tearing sound: "You must kill him, kill him—"

At this moment, the Heavenly Phoenix had already arrived at the palace gate. Then, it spread its wings and instantly soared into the sky, floating in the air.

At this moment, a streak of light came from beyond the sky, floating in the void; it was Gu Guanqi.

"Gu Guanqi, I've been waiting for you for so long," Tianfeng said.

Gu Guanqi looked at Tianfeng and said, "I've been looking for you for quite a while too."

Tianfeng looked at Gu Guanqi and said with some emotion, "Truly, new talents emerge in every generation. I heard that you are only in your early twenties and yet you have such cultivation. You are unprecedented and probably will never be seen again. It's just a pity that fate has already decided that I will kill you. Otherwise, I would quite like to see if a prodigy like you can enter Kunxu."

Gu Guanqi asked doubtfully, "Are you really from Kunxu?"

"Do you know Kunxu?" Tianfeng asked.

Gu Guanqi said, "Legend has it that Kunxu is a celestial realm. As long as you enter it, you can live forever and enjoy eternal freedom."

However, the divine mountain was broken by the Xuanyuan clan, and Kunxu flew into the sky, transforming into the moon.

Tianfeng said, "The legend is indeed like this, but I don't know if it's true or not. I've only been to Kunxu, and I don't know whether the legend of the Xuanyuan clan is true or not."

Gu Guanqi asked in confusion, "You weren't being hunted down by Tianmen?"

Tianfeng said, "You really know a lot. You know about Tianmen too, but I don't think I have any obligation to answer your questions."

Gu Guanqi said, "Then let's fight. I'll kill you first, and we can resolve our doubts later."

"Never mind," Tianfeng said, "Duanmu Xian is currently undergoing a breakthrough, and it would be troublesome to disturb her. I'll answer your question first to buy her some time!"

Gu Guanqi chuckled lightly, "You're really confident, aren't you? You think you've got me figured out?"

Tianfeng was able to frankly admit that Duanmu Xian was breaking through, so he would delay answering Gu Guanqi's question to avoid affecting Duanmu Xian.

This was the first time Gu Guanqi had encountered an opponent with such an attitude. It was obvious that the opponent did not take him seriously at all, and even took the initiative to point out his current weakness. The meaning was clear: even if Gu Guanqi attacked Duanmu Xian now, Tianfeng was confident that he could easily subdue her, it would just take a little more effort.

Tianfeng said, "You're quite confident too. If it were an ordinary opponent, they would have already started attacking Duanmu Xian to distract me by now, and they certainly wouldn't allow a powerful enemy to be born."

Gu Guanqi waved his hand and said, "Anyway, we both think we can kill each other, so that's perfect. I have a question for you, and you're willing to answer it."

Tianfeng thought for a moment and said, "According to the timeline here, I must have reached the Immortal Realm three hundred years ago. Then two people who called themselves the God of War of the Heavenly Gate came to kill me, saying that the Heavenly Gate does not allow anyone in the mortal world to become an immortal."

At that time, I was arrogant and immediately started fighting them, only to suffer a crushing defeat. Fortunately, I was a Taoist at the Ascension Realm, possessing wings and incredible speed. Furthermore, I cultivated the Dao of Cause and Effect, allowing me to see causal lines and successfully evade their pursuit time and time again.

However, I ultimately escaped Tianmen's pursuit because I ran to the Tianshan Mountains and accidentally entered a secret realm. Tianmen must have some method to track me down across the entire world, but that secret realm was special, allowing me to evade their pursuit.

Gu Guanqi said, "So, you hide in there to cultivate, and then ascend to immortality?"

"That's roughly the idea," Tianfeng said. "However, the most important thing is that Kunxu left some abandoned places in the human world. These places have spatial passages. As long as your cultivation is sufficient, you can go directly into Kunxu through those passages. The secret realm where I am hiding is one of those passages."

Gu Guanqi asked, "Didn't you go to Kunxu? Why did you come back?"

Tianfeng thought for a moment and said, "It's a little embarrassing to say, but I did arrive at Kunxu, however, I couldn't enter Kunxu."

That immortal gate inside.

"Why?" Gu Guanqi asked.

Tianfeng said, "Because there is a strange energy in Kunxu." As she spoke, Tianfeng pointed to the zither case on Gu Guanqi's back and said, "You carry that strange power with you."

Gu Guanqi understood that Tianfeng was not referring to the Heavenly Demon Harp, but rather the meteorite iron box he had placed inside the harp's case—the one given to him by Wang Wanqing, the Supreme Elder of the Tianshan Sect.

That's the energy that was constantly corroding Tianfeng's body when she first appeared at the Tianshan Sect.

However, according to Wang Wanqing, it might be possible to use that power to launch a surprise attack on Tianfeng at a crucial moment.

Now that Tianfeng has sensed it directly, it probably won't have much effect.

Seeing that Gu Guanqi remained silent, Tianfeng continued, "You don't need to hide anything. I took out that meteorite box you were carrying many years ago."

The strange energy inside was something the founder of the Tianshan Sect tricked me into secretly taking from me after I fell from Kunxu. She thought I didn't know, but I just wasn't interested in exposing her.

As it spoke, the Heavenly Phoenix shook its wings slightly, and its feathers stood up. In an instant, strange energy emanated from its body, constantly eroding it. The roots of its feathers were all rotten, and maggots could be faintly seen inside, which was extremely disgusting.

And those strands of corrosive energy were exactly the same as the corrosive energy of that meteorite box.

Tianfeng continued, "It was this strange energy that permeated Kunxu. As soon as I entered Kunxu, I began to have difficulty moving. I couldn't even reach the Immortal Gate before I couldn't hold on any longer. My cultivation level dropped, and I had to escape back to the spatial passage."

But that place was easy to get up, but hard to get down; I almost fell to my death. Luckily, the founder of the Tianshan Sect ran into me then, and I made a deal with her, which gave me a much-needed respite. Afterwards, fearing pursuit from the Tianmen, I hid in the Tianshan Mountains. This is the first time in over two hundred years that I've descended the mountain.”

Gu Guanqi asked, "Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by Tianmen now?"

Tianfeng said, "My application of the Dao of Cause and Effect is much stronger than it was three hundred years ago; they can't lock onto me."

Gu Guanqi said, "You just went to Kunxu for a visit, and then paid the price of more than two hundred years, and gained nothing, not even becoming an immortal."

Tianfeng nodded and said, "That's true."

Gu Guanqi asked, "Could you tell me the exact location of that secret realm in the Tianshan Mountains?"

Tianfeng shook her head slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that secret realm is not a place in the conventional sense. It's a concept, an understanding. You can only comprehend it yourself when you go to Tianshan. If you comprehend it, you will be able to enter it."

Gu Guanqi then asked, "If there's no such spatial passage, is it impossible to ascend to Kunxu?"

"Then I don't know," Tianfeng said. "Perhaps there is, but with the Heavenly Gate there, there's probably no chance to ascend outside. Of course, that's not important. What's more important is to deal with that strange energy outside Kunxu. Otherwise, even if we enter Kunxu, we won't be able to enter the Immortal Gate."

Gu Guanqi asked, "So, after thinking about this for two hundred years, have you come up with a solution?"

Tianfeng said, "I've been healing for over two hundred years, so I don't have any other options. However, this trip to the Xianbei might offer a solution."

"What method?" Gu Guanqi asked.

"This method lies with Duanmu Xian," Tianfeng said. "I will help her refine the divine bloodline stolen from the Xianbei Holy Maiden. When she connects with the Xianbei god, I will investigate what that god is and how it resists that strange power!"

Gu Guanqi nodded and said, "Then I won't kill her for now."

"Haha," Tianfeng let out a hearty laugh, and said, "You're quite an interesting person. Hmm, since that's the case, is there anything else you want to ask? If not, we can get started!"

Gu Guanqi said, "I really don't have anything else to ask."

Immediately, the Heavenly Phoenix spread its wings, and in an instant, a vast amount of Qi poured into the human world like a celestial river being poured down.

At that very moment, surging earth vein energy suddenly emanated from all directions of Hu City, instantly converging in the void and mixing with the Qi of Tianfeng.

In an instant, it seemed as if a faint light shield enveloped the entire city of Hu. In the dim light shield, one could see wisps of special patterns that echoed the laws of heaven and earth.

At the same moment, tens of thousands of troops moved throughout Hu City, traversing the alleys and streets, forming a military formation that perfectly matched the energy of the earth's veins.

Gu Guanqi realized this was a trap set by one side, and he immediately chuckled, "Are they afraid I'll run away?"

Tianfeng said, "Of course, if I hadn't seen you escape from me so many times in the causal chain, I wouldn't have needed to make a special trip to Xianbei."

Gu Guanqi unsheathed his Autumn Water Sword, the scabbard descending from the void and instantly embedding itself in the plaza in front of the royal palace, startling the entire area.

All the floor tiles on the field were surging.

Gu Guanqi pointed his longsword at Tianfeng and said, "I hope you don't trap yourself in this formation and die there later."

o

"No, because you've already lost!"

As she spoke, Tianfeng pointed at Gu Guanqi.

This finger gesture didn't possess vast energy or immense true qi; it was just like an ordinary person casually pointing.

However, this finger gesture was different in Gu Guanqi's eyes. He saw that this finger gesture seemed to follow a certain law of heaven and earth, and then in that dimension, several strands of law descended and instantly wrapped around Gu Guanqi.

"Is this your power of cause and effect?" Gu Guanqi asked in surprise.

"So, I say you've already lost," Tianfeng said. "Actually, I just cheated. By answering your question, I've already fulfilled the transaction rules in my causal path."

You now owe me a debt of gratitude, so in our causal relationship, I am upstream, and I can control how this causal chain is pulled towards the inevitable consequence of your death.

Tianfeng slightly raised her hand and said, "Gu Guanqi, you have already lost!"

Gu Guanqi chuckled and immediately thrust out his sword. In that instant, an extremely thin red sword light condensed on the tip of the sword and shot towards Tianfeng at a speed that ignored space.

A sword can separate two worlds!

The phoenix flapped its wings suddenly, then instantly closed them to block in front of it. Each feather was shimmering with light and covered with a special energy.

But in that instant, the crimson sword light pierced through the feathers, penetrated the wings, and then directly pierced through the body of the Heavenly Phoenix.

The phoenix, hiding behind its wings, stiffened slightly. It looked down at the tiny wound on its chest, and as black blood seeped out, a look of disbelief flashed in its eyes.

In the next instant, its wings suddenly crossed and spun, instantly severing the blood-red sword light. Then, its wings suddenly seemed to enlarge infinitely and grow infinitely long, with the tips of its dense feathers emitting a sharp, cold light as they slashed towards Gu Guanqi.

Gu Guanqi held the sword in his right hand and immediately made a hand seal with his left hand, instantly emitting a series of Buddhist chants.

"Om Mani Padme Hum————"

As chanting Buddhist hymns rang out, Gu Guanqi struck out with his palm.

The countless golden Buddhist seals lit up simultaneously, instantly merging together, their light surging, transforming into a giant Buddha's hand.

Buddha's Palm!

Gu Guanqi struck out with his palm, golden light surging forth, directly colliding with the two intertwined, spinning wings that were coming towards him.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

Its wings were shattered and instantly returned to their normal size. The Heavenly Phoenix flapped its wings rapidly and flew several feet upwards, thus avoiding the attack of the Tathagata Palm.

It floated high in the sky, looked at Gu Guanqi, and said in surprise, "You actually managed to hurt me? That shouldn't be the case. Within this causal chain, you can't hurt me."

Gu Guanqi took a step forward, and instantly, a golden lotus appeared in the void. He soared through the air for more than ten feet, and when he landed, a black lotus grew beneath his feet.

He flicked his Autumn Water Sword upwards, and several faint lines appeared in his and Tianfeng's eyes.

Tianfeng's pupils contracted.

Gu Guanqi said, "If this is what you mean by 'causal thread,' then you're dead today!"

With that, Gu Guanqi swung his sword, and all the lines instantly shattered and vanished.

Tianfeng said in a deep voice, "You're immune to karma, yet your cultivation level is so high!"

Gu Guanqi didn't explain further.

When he obtained the Longevity Manual, he was already able to observe the laws of heaven and earth. After obtaining the Tathagata Palm and the Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi, he was able to activate the laws of heaven and earth within his martial arts. Although he could not utilize other laws, he could naturally avoid them when he reached the required level.

For example, he can see the law of cause and effect, and he can also avoid it.

When I spoke with Tianfeng before, I deliberately didn't reveal anything so that I could learn more about Tianmen and Kunxu from her.

At this moment, Gu Guanqi looked up at Tianfeng.

In that instant, blazing flames erupted from his body, and waves of fire swept in all directions. The Autumn Water Sword turned crimson in an instant, and the raging fire surged and distorted the void.

Fire Dance Whirlwind Sword Technique: As Long as Heaven and Earth!

Gu Guanqi swung his sword at Tianfeng.

In an instant, the raging flames spread into a boundless sea of ​​fire, like the fiery clouds burning on the horizon at sunset, instantly dyeing half the sky red, carrying an aura of impending annihilation.

"Fire? Then try my ice!"

When Tianfeng saw Gu Guanqi's sword coming at it, it immediately flapped its wings, and in an instant, a powerful chill poured down from between its wings.

In an instant, countless ice cones condensed in the void, densely packed, vast as the sea, their cold light piercing to the bone, layer upon layer like a frozen galaxy.

"go!"

The Heavenly Phoenix flapped its wings once more, and in an instant, the massive ice spikes crashed head-on into the sea of ​​fire.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

A deafening roar shook the void!

The raging flames collided violently with the endless ice spikes.

Ice shards flew everywhere, and flames splashed in all directions.

Heat waves and cold fog intertwined and churned.

At this moment, even the void seemed to tremble violently under the collision of two supreme forces.

Large swathes of ice continued to crumble and melt, and the mighty flames also gradually dissipated.

But the power of the Autumn Water Sword in Gu Guanqi's hand did not diminish. It broke through layers of ice, and the blade was still red, carrying a scorching heat.

In an instant, the Autumn Water Sword broke through the last ice barrier and arrived in front of Tianfeng. The long sword was red-hot and instantly pierced into Tianfeng's chest.

Tianfeng's body trembled slightly.

It lowered its head slightly, a hint of panic flashing in its golden eyes. Then, it extended its sharp claws and gripped the blade of the Autumn Water Sword tightly. A chilling, bone-deep cold instantly spread out, and layers of white frost rapidly covered the sword, completely freezing the entire Autumn Water Sword.

At the same time, a chilling, icy aura swept along the sword like a tidal wave towards Gu Guanqi, freezing the entire void.

Gu Guanqi immediately tried to turn around and retreat quickly.

But in that instant, the Heavenly Phoenix suddenly closed its enormous wings, and a gale howled. The wings seemed to transform into a cage that trapped Gu Guanqi inside.

The moment they closed, countless feathers transformed into thousands of sharp arrows, raining down on Gu Guanqi like a torrential downpour.

A surge of powerful true energy suddenly erupted from Gu Guanqi's body, transforming into a thick and solid protective aura that blocked the attacks of the feathers. However, the feathers continued their relentless and endless attacks.

Just then, the Autumn Water Sword that Gu Guanqi was still holding, which was frozen in ice, suddenly changed.

The icy power on the sword was absorbed by the sword in that instant.

The second level of the innate, formless sword energy – the sword of nature.

The Sword of Nature can absorb the energy of heaven and earth and transform it into sword energy, which is endless!

And this power of ice is naturally one of the powers of heaven and earth.

In that instant, the boundless sword energy was unpredictable and untraceable, yet omnipresent.

Endless sword energy surged forth from the body of the Autumn Water Sword, crisscrossing and surging wildly.

"Pfft pfft pfft"

A series of fine popping sounds rang out one after another.

Tianfeng's body was instantly pierced by endless sword energy, leaving it covered in countless holes, with black blood flowing out of the wounds.

At the same time, the wings that enveloped Gu Guanqi were also pierced by the sword energy, leaving countless bloody holes. Large swaths of phoenix feathers stained with black blood fluttered and fell, scattering in the void.

Tianfeng swayed twice and then plummeted downwards.

"Gu Guanqi, you've completely enraged me!"

The piercing screams of the Heavenly Phoenix echoed across the entire sky. In the next instant, as it continued to descend, it suddenly turned its body, and countless feathers fell, transforming into a tornado that spun wildly. Then, it suddenly erupted, like a celestial river flowing backward, surging upward towards Gu Guanqi.

Gu Guanqi swung his Autumn Water Sword, and the sword fell from above.

A celestial being descends from the heavens!

Endless sword light, like moonlight falling from the sky.

It instantly shattered the vast sea of ​​feathers.

But in that instant, Gu Guanqi was shocked to find that Tianfeng had disappeared. He looked up abruptly and found that Tianfeng had already run outside the formation and was fleeing into the distance.
