Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 97 Zhang Lexuan: Something's fishy

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

"Chirp!" The Ancestral Flame Sparrow let out a mournful cry.

Zu Yanque was severely injured by Zhang Lexuan. Its beautiful red feathers fell off, and a huge gash appeared on its abdomen, from which blood gushed.

The Ancestral Flame Sparrow looked at Zhang Lexuan with fear in its ruby-like eyes, knowing that it was no match for the human woman in front of it, so it flapped its wings and tried to escape.

Soul beasts at this level possess considerable intelligence and the ability to assess situations. Knowing they cannot be defeated by force, they will never stubbornly resist.

Seeing that her soul ring was about to escape, Wu Ming naturally had to stop it. A pair of golden wings spread out behind her.

However, Chen Feng made his move before Wu Ming could. Just as Zu Yanque was seriously injured and trying to escape, Chen Feng teleported behind Zu Yanque.

The Ancestral Flame Sparrow sensed someone behind it and let out a heart-wrenching roar, clearly knowing that if it didn't escape in time, it would surely die.

Crimson flames erupted from the Ancestral Flame Sparrow's body, then spread and exploded fiercely in all directions.

This is one of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow's innate soul skills, Blazing Explosion, which is incredibly powerful and carries a terrifyingly high-temperature explosion.

Although the temperature of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow's flames cannot compare to the ultimate flames, it is no less than Wu Ming's Golden Crow Flame.

If it were someone else, even a Soul Saint level expert, they would have to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

However, Chen Feng was not afraid. When he saw the Ancestral Flame Sparrow unleash its power, a layer of crystalline ice crystals silently covered the surface of Chen Feng's body. Each ice crystal was about the size of a fingernail.

This skill is the first soul skill of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion: Ice Emperor Protection.

The instant the ice crystals covered Chen Feng's entire body, the scorching flames erupted from the Ancestral Flame Sparrow and struck Chen Feng. However, under the power of the extreme ice, the once invincible scorching flames of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow had clearly hit a brick wall.

Apart from a large amount of white mist rising from Chen Feng's body, the flames of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow did not cause any damage to Chen Feng. The explosive impact of the flames also failed to break Chen Feng's Ice Emperor Protection. The power of the Ice Emperor Protection as a 400,000-year-old soul skill is beyond doubt!

The Ancestral Flame Sparrow failed to harm Chen Feng, but Chen Feng's attack was certainly capable of harming the Ancestral Flame Sparrow.

At the same time that Zu Yan Que attacked Chen Feng, Chen Feng's attack also hit Zu Yan Que.

Chen Feng held the Soul-Shattering Blade in his hand, the blade radiating an intense, chilling aura of extreme ice.

Chen Feng simultaneously used two martial souls, stacking the ultimate ice onto the Soul-Breaking Blade.

Although Chen Feng still couldn't unleash the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul while mobilizing the power of the Soul-Breaking Blade's origin.

However, as long as Chen Feng doesn't use his martial soul origin, he can unleash both martial souls simultaneously, which is definitely more powerful than simply using the Soul-Breaking Blade.

Although Chen Feng could unleash the power of his martial soul's origin by using the Soul-Breaking Blade Intent when he only used the Soul-Breaking Blade martial soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul's immense enhancement to his body and the superposition of the extreme low temperature of the extreme ice made it even stronger.

While the sheer power of the ultimate ice stacking technique might not surpass the power of a martial soul's origin, even the strongest origin power of the Soul-Breaking Blade would only greatly enhance Chen Feng's attack power, not significantly boost his strength and speed.

Therefore, Chen Feng is currently trying to find a way to use the power of the Soul-Breaking Blade martial soul while also using the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul, which would be perfect.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng hasn't made much progress, and using two martial souls simultaneously requires him to constantly balance them with his mental energy, which is incredibly taxing.

Now, Chen Feng held the magnificent Soul-Shattering Blade covered in ice crystals and slashed at the Ancestral Flame Sparrow.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul possesses the body, greatly enhancing its strength. This is combined with the first Soul Skill of the Soul-Shattering Blade, Sharpening the Blade, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's first Soul Skill, Ice Emperor's Claw, along with the added Blade Intent!

This strike was absolutely domineering!

He severed the Ancestral Flame Sparrow's wings directly, and then, without slowing down, severed its spine. The wound was as smooth as a mirror, and not a drop of blood flowed from the cut under the power of the ultimate ice.

With a mournful cry, the Ancestral Flame Sparrow suffered from broken wings, a broken spine, and terrifying mental damage.

As Zu Yanque fell from the sky, her beautiful, ruby-like eyes glared venomously at Chen Feng.

That venomous gaze clearly showed that it hated Chen Feng, the one who took advantage of its serious injury to launch a sneak attack. If eyes could kill, Chen Feng would have been dead a hundred or eighty times by now.

Seeing that Chen Feng was unharmed, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her opinion of Chen Feng rose even higher.

Although Chen Feng had severely injured the Ancestral Flame Sparrow beforehand, and there was an element of surprise attack involved, Zhang Lexuan believed that Chen Feng's strength was comparable to some ordinary Soul Emperor students in the Inner Academy, as he was able to defeat the Ancestral Flame Sparrow.

Chen Feng remained calm. Seeing that Zu Yan Que had no hope of escaping, he immediately released the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul from its possession.

Chen Feng had just teleported into mid-air, so he was naturally falling from the sky.

At this moment, Wu Ming's eyes reflected a heroic and handsome figure dressed in ice armor and holding a blade.

Wu Ming quickly regained her senses and watched Chen Feng fall from the sky. She hurriedly flapped her golden wings, and the brilliant golden flames behind her transformed into a dazzling trail in the air. She flew towards Chen Feng in mid-air, opened her arms, hugged Chen Feng in her arms, and then carried him to the ground.

Wu Ming put Chen Feng down, a slight blush on her fair face, and said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you...I...I'll go finish him off first."

Seeing Wu Ming's slightly flushed face, Zhang Lexuan's brows twitched. Zhang Lexuan thought to herself, "Ming'er, you haven't fallen for Chen Feng, have you? Chen Feng is Xiao Tao's boyfriend... what should I do?"

Zhang Lexuan and Wu Ming are close in age and have been good friends for many years. Zhang Lexuan is also very familiar with Ma Xiaotao, which has given Zhang Lexuan a real headache.

At this moment, Wu Ming didn't know what she was thinking. That height posed absolutely no danger to Chen Feng.

Moreover, just now when she was holding Chen Feng, his breath hit her chest, causing a warm current to surge through Wu Ming's body.

Wu Ming shook her little head, calmed herself down, looked at the dying Ancestral Flame Sparrow that had fallen to the ground, flapped her golden wings, and flew to the side of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow.

The Ancestral Flame Sparrow glared hatefully at Wu Ming as he flew towards it. Even though its wings and spine had been severed and it couldn't get up, it was still incredibly ferocious, and it opened its mouth to spew a ball of flame at Wu Ming.

Golden flames rose from Wu Ming's body. Wu Ming was already in a complicated and somewhat irritable mood. Seeing that the Ancestral Flame Sparrow still dared to struggle, he directly vented his emotions on the poor Ancestral Flame Sparrow.

Crack, crunch, tearing... the sounds of skin tearing and bones breaking rang out continuously.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" This was the scream of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow.

"You still dare to resist! You still dare to resist!" Wu Ming violently tortured Zu Yanque.

Soon the Ancestral Flame Sparrow lost its bird form and fell silent.

A black spirit ring condensed on the Ancestral Flame Sparrow and then rose up.

As Zhang Lexuan watched the spirit ring rise, she suppressed her thoughts and said to Wu Ming, "Ming'er, hurry up and absorb the spirit ring. Chen Feng and I will protect you."

Wu Ming nodded and happily began absorbing her seventh soul ring.

In the core area, each powerful soul beast has its own territory. Under normal circumstances, these powerful soul beasts will not leave their territory. The place where Chen Feng and his two companions are located naturally belongs to the territory of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow. Therefore, this place is safe for a short period of time and will not be disturbed by other soul beasts.

Golden flames swirled around Wu Ming as he sat cross-legged in meditation. Guided by his soul power, the soul ring of the Ancestral Flame Sparrow arrived on Wu Ming's body.

Wu Ming's physical endurance and the quality of his martial soul were sufficient to suppress the Ancestral Flame Sparrow's soul ring, so absorbing it was not difficult for him.

Once Wu Ming has absorbed this spirit ring, he will advance to the Spirit Saint realm. The Spirit Saint is the strongest in the world of spirit masters, and the enhancement of the Martial Spirit True Body to a spirit master far exceeds that of the previous six spirit rings.

Especially for Soul Masters with powerful Martial Souls, this will completely widen the gap between them and Soul Masters with weak Martial Souls.

Zhang Lexuan released her spiritual power to protect Wu Ming. Even with Elder Xuan secretly following, Zhang Lexuan remained vigilant.

Chen Feng also released his third soul skill, the Phantom Blade, to conceal the figures and auras of the three of them.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and nodded at Chen Feng. Chen Feng had used this third soul skill before when Jiang Nannan and others were absorbing soul rings. Except for some special soul beasts such as insects that can sense vibrations or snakes that can use thermal imaging, it can block other soul beasts.

Zhang Lexuan approached Chen Feng and, after exchanging a few casual words, asked the question she had been wanting to ask: "Chen Feng, it seems Ming'er likes you..."

Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Lexuan, his expression calm, and said, "Sister Wu Ming is a good woman."

Zhang Lexuan frowned. "Chen Feng, you already have Xiao Tao."

Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Lexuan, and their eyes met.

Zhang Lexuan looked into Chen Feng's eyes; his deep, dark, starry eyes were calm and serene, completely unlike those of a young boy.

Zhang Lexuan listened to Chen Feng speak and said, "Senior Sister, I won't let Sister Xiaotao be sad, that's my promise. As for Sister Wu Ming, I'll handle her well."

Zhang Lexuan was silent for a moment, then said to Chen Feng, "I hope you won't hurt Xiao Tao and Ming'er. Don't let their straightforward and even fiery personalities fool you; they're both very innocent when it comes to relationships."

Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Lexuan but remained silent. From the day he began cultivating the Yin-Yang Technique, he had been prepared for this. Chen Feng was confident he could handle everything.

Zhang Lexuan's expression was inscrutable... She was the senior sister of the inner courtyard, respected by everyone. Although she was powerful, she was a complete mess when it came to love.

During Wu Ming's absorption of the spirit ring, the atmosphere between Chen Feng and Zhang Lexuan was slightly strange.

Chen Feng seemed fine, but Zhang Lexuan appeared to be deep in thought, lost in thought.
