There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

The Azure Phoenix still intentionally protects its followers. It flaps its wings like a gentle shake of its sleeves, and a descending azure glow surrounds them.

Unexpectedly, the black-feathered phoenix suddenly changed direction again.

The enormous body that had been swooping down towards the crowd rose again, chasing after Jiang Mo, who had already retreated from the crowd, at an even faster speed.

What's wrong with you? Those are the people attacking you, why are you coming after me?

Does it look delicious to me?

Sensing the menacing aura locking onto him from behind, Jiang Mo couldn't help but curse, but he dared not pause in his steps.

His internal energy surged rapidly, causing his blood and qi to rush wildly.

He burst forth at his absolute maximum speed, carrying Hu Meier on his back, and plunged into the dense forest, attempting to use the terrain to his advantage to block the Black Feathered Phoenix that was inexplicably attacking him.

Chapter 85 Seize the Opportunity

The trees in the mountains, left unattended, have always grown wildly, their heights and shapes seemingly trying to fill every inch of available space.

In those places where no one had made a road, there was almost no place to put one's feet.

Such a crowded and narrow environment was quite difficult to navigate even for Jiang Mo, let alone the Black Feathered Phoenix, which was several times larger than him.

You don't need to completely stop it, just slightly hinder it.

That guy couldn't possibly ignore Qingluan and risk being severely injured to kill us.

We hadn't provoked it before, so where did this deep-seated hatred come from?

This idea was correct, but Jiang Mo had never personally fought against the Black Feather Phoenix, and he underestimated its abilities.

The trees are spread out like a wall.

Jiang Mo still underestimated the strength of the Black Feather Phoenix. No matter how lush the trees grew, they were still just ordinary trees.

It is no ordinary bird.

Instead of hurtling straight into the forest at high speed, the Black Feathered Phoenix spun around, its outstretched wings sweeping across the dense forest ahead like blades.

Even though he wasn't within the range of the other party's wings, Jiang Mo felt as if he were being pricked by needles at that moment.

Without time to think it through, he reacted purely on instinct.

Jiang Mo's originally light and agile steps suddenly became heavier. He used a move called "Thousand-Pound Drop" and stomped on the tree branch that was supposed to be used for leaping, falling downwards.

In mid-air, he twisted his waist and suddenly exerted force to throw Hu Meier, who was behind him, into his arms.

He fell to the ground in a daze, holding it in front of him.

sigh~

Like a blade being drawn from its sheath, a fierce gale swept over from above, followed by a series of deafening roars.

Like crops harvested by a sickle, the trees that had grown in the mountains for who knows how long were all cut down in half at this moment.

It crashed and fell in all directions along that perfectly smooth fracture.

If Jiang Mo hadn't acted quickly enough, he and Hu Meier would probably have been cut in half like those trees, becoming a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Even though he managed to fall to the ground in time, Jiang Mo was not unharmed.

The fierce wind that swept through carried a surging and violent sharpness, even sharper than the edge Jiang Mo felt when he faced the broken blade of the Reverse Scale.

Even a mere brush against the back to tear open countless dripping wounds.

The pain was so intense that Jiang Mo's vision went black for a moment.

But he couldn't stop there. Even knowing that this would only worsen his injuries, Jiang Mo still held Hu Meier tightly and rolled around wildly.

They scrambled to avoid the falling trees.

Thorns scattered throughout the mountains tore through Jiang Mo's clothes, and sharp pebbles scattered everywhere added new wounds to his body. Although he was spared from being hit by falling tree trunks thanks to his amazing reflexes, the moment he managed to dodge left Jiang Mo covered in wounds.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, before Jiang Mo could even straighten up, a gust of wind swept behind him, followed by a tearing pain that pierced through his shoulder.

With a muffled groan, he was lifted up by a tremendous force.

Then came the howling wind that kept rushing past his ears. The world spun around him, and the scenery in front of him changed constantly as he moved at high speed. Even Jiang Mo, who was used to moving at high speed with his light-footed skills, couldn't help but feel dizzy and disoriented.

Not to mention Hu Meier, who was powerless in his arms.

Jiang Mo could clearly feel that Hu Meier, who was nestled in his arms, was trembling all over like a frightened rabbit. Her already delicate body seemed even more limp and powerless. Only by pressing herself tightly against Jiang Mo's chest could she barely calm down a little.

But at this moment, Jiang Mo was powerless to comfort the other party.

All he could do was hold Hu Meier tightly in his arms, no matter how fancy the flight path of the black-feathered phoenix that was gripping his shoulders was, he would never let go.

Don't panic, don't lose your composure.

We need to come up with a way to properly resolve the current crisis...

Jiang Mo had experienced many dangerous situations, but he had never been so helplessly lifted up like a pendant and tossed around in the air. His current predicament could only be described as utterly bewildered and disoriented in the wind.

Forget about figuring out where he was; with the biting wind blowing in his face high in the sky, he could barely open his eyes.

I felt like I was being thrown around and then plummeting.

It's much more thrilling and exciting than those roller coasters with 180-degree spins, because if you're not careful, you could really fall and be smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, the sound of phoenixes singing could be heard from time to time.

This means that although the Black Feathered Phoenix had successfully captured Jiang Mo and the others, it had not been able to shake off the Azure Phoenix's entanglement, and the two were still in a tense struggle.

Every now and then, a pale blue glow would brush past Jiang Mo.

This relieved Jiang Mo. Since the Azure Phoenix was still locked in battle with the Black Feathered Phoenix, his task became much simpler.

There's no need to think about how to kill the enormous beast that has grabbed you.

All it takes is a little interference during their intense battle to completely tip the scales in Qingluan's favor.

And take the opportunity to break free from the control of the Black Feather Phoenix.

Timing is crucial. We must find the right opportunity. Otherwise, even if we can get the Black Feathered Phoenix to loosen its claws, it will only be smashed to pieces when it falls from a great height under these circumstances.

Unleashing his inner power, "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon," Jiang Mo struggled to open his eyes, his face contorted and distorted by the fierce wind.

They were trying to find the opportunity they needed amidst the ever-changing world.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Jiang Mo saw when he opened his eyes was Xiao Bai, who was trying to peek out from his arms.

Despite valuing it highly, Jiang Mo had no time to take care of the little guy at the moment.

Ensuring he wouldn't be thrown off, Jiang Mo used almost all his strength to hold Hu Meier tightly, leaving him no energy to protect the little one. Fortunately, Xiao Bai wasn't an ordinary fox.

Even though its main fighting strength is not reflected in its physical strength, it still managed to grab Jiang Mo's arm tightly with its front paws and was not thrown away.

It even stretched its head out, baring its teeth in a show of defiance at the black-feathered phoenix.

Hmm? Does this little guy have a grudge against the other party? Wait, could the injury on its leg be from this?

Am I and Hu Meier being implicated?

Enough, now is not the time to think about these things. Given the brutality and ferocity that the Black Feather Phoenix has shown, even if we hand over Little White willingly, it will probably be of no use.

Moreover, it has now fallen into the hands of the other side.

Killing yourself won't prevent Little White from becoming its food source; it's better to seize this opportunity and unite all available means.

"Azure Phoenix"

Even though he only uttered two words, facing the biting wind that kept filling his lungs, Jiang Mo felt as if he had fallen to the bottom of the water, and almost couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

He wasn't sure if Xiaobai could understand him, so he could only try to signal to it with his eyes, hoping it would cooperate with his next actions.

At the same time, Jinling, holding Hu Meier's finger, began to wander around.

Don't get me wrong, Jiang Mo wasn't thinking of indulging in one last act of debauchery before he died. He was trying to move his fingertips to borrow a weapon from Hu Meier.

A weapon powerful enough to harm the Black Feathered Phoenix.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mo didn't know where Hu Meier usually hid that thing. Given the need to hold her tightly without any lapse in attention, he couldn't possibly rummage around in her arms without restraint.

Therefore, they had no choice but to believe Hu Meier.

I believe the other person is intuitive enough to understand what I mean.

His calloused, scarred fingers pressed against her delicate, smooth skin. In the midst of the dizzying, spinning sensation, Jiang Mo moved slightly, repeatedly writing the same words.

Her soft, boneless little hand suddenly gripped Jiang Mo's fingers tightly.

Before Jiang Mo could repeat himself many times, Hu Meier, trembling uncontrollably, handed over the item she relied on for self-defense to him.

The opportunity has arrived!

Jiang Mo, who was fully prepared, squinted and seized the opportunity when the Black Feathered Phoenix swooped down to avoid the Azure Phoenix's attack, and suddenly shouted:

"kill!"

Whether it was because it truly understood Jiang Mo's previous glance or was simply startled by the murderous aura that erupted from Jiang Mo's angry roar, the white fox, who was merely clinging to Jiang Mo's arm, suddenly trembled.

A faint glint of light flickered in his eyes.

Then the azure light that had been dodged by the Black Feather Phoenix suddenly surged back like a flood, crashing down as if to launch a surprise attack on the Black Feather Phoenix.

The Black Feathered Phoenix was also startled, and in its panic, it inevitably revealed a flaw.

At that moment, Jiang Mo suddenly released his arms from tightly holding Hu Meier, letting her be flung away by the centrifugal force of the Black Feather Phoenix's spinning back.

He swung his arm and fiercely thrust the Xuanjing Arrow he held in his palm toward the abdomen of the Black Feather Phoenix.

Hey~

The arrow struck the creature's feathers, producing a sound like metal clashing, and even sending out tiny sparks.

But the Xuanjing Arrows were no ordinary weapons.

With Jiang Mo pouring in a large amount of internal energy, it broke through the Black Feather Phoenix's armor-like feathers and pierced deep into its flesh.

Then came the explosion and tearing.

A piercing cry echoed through the sky, and the Black Feathered Phoenix, which had been soaring freely through the heavens, could not help but convulse in excruciating pain.

The claws that had been gripping Jiang Mo tightly finally loosened their grip slightly.

Amidst a searing pain as flesh was torn apart, Jiang Mo suddenly exerted his strength and forcefully broke free from the sharp claws of the Black Feather Phoenix that were gripping his shoulder. Under the influence of surging adrenaline, his energy and spirit were forcibly elevated to their peak in that instant.
