Chapter 131 Night Tour (Part 9) Ablaze with Fireworks (Bonus Chapter 29,000)

The streets and alleys are wide and spacious, the lotus lanterns are bright, and the Jade Stream is babbling.

The blue-eyed, golden-eyed beast strides forward, passing the cascading waterfalls and willows, their mirror-like leaves reflecting crimson-gold fire, flickering and shimmering in the night.

The demons along the streets and alleys carried octagonal lanterns and slowly followed the carriage, all looking toward that figure.

Like a silver sword in the night, unbent and unbroken, it stands alone on the cloud chariot. Its body and spirit do not appear sharp, and can even be described as rounded. However, at a glance, one can easily feel a hidden light like that of a sword being drawn from its sheath, making it impossible for one to look away.

There's no other reason than that the demon race has never produced such a young man.

Like a sword, only humans can wield it.

The cloud chariot slowly drove towards Xingzhi Palace. Beside the chariot, a little girl held in someone's arms stared blankly. Under the heavy firelight, the face of the human envoy was also tinged with a different color.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked at me, smiled gently, and a flicker of firelight danced in her calm pupils.

The little girl smiled, her face slightly flushed, and then curiously looked into the car.

Not only her, but all the demon youths who were participating in the Night Tour for the first time were peeking out, wanting to see the true face of this demon lord who rarely appeared in public.

Unfortunately, beneath the sheer veil, the shimmering pearls remained merely an outline.

Unlike newcomers, the demons who had been there many times were either looking at Lin Feiran or at the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast.

Everyone already knew that Ru Xian would not appear.

When he ventured into the Demon Capital alone, he carried only a green-eyed, golden-eyed beast and a green spear.

Lin Feiran moved his hands slightly, and the spear that had been leaning against the carriage wall was now in his hands.

Although her spear skills are much simpler than her swordsmanship, they are still worth watching in this situation.

A sudden gust of wind swept through, and streaks of cold light flashed by, causing people to gasp in surprise.

As Lin Feiran brandished his spear, his gaze swept across the crowd, spotting many familiar faces.

Chenghua and Qi Chen looked at her with smiles on their faces, holding bouquets in their hands. Zhang Siwo, the blacksmith, sat alone on the roof, stroking a stray cat that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, lost in thought.

Suddenly, she met a pair of cold eyes, and her gaze paused slightly.

Beside him stood a bright-looking girl, whom Lin Feiran recognized; it was Qiu Tong.

She was looking at me too, but her expression was very conflicted. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her lips were tightly pressed together. When our eyes met, she first looked away in a panic, and then quickly looked back.

She loosened her pursed lips slightly, silently said two words to herself, then raised the hand with the mandarin duck bracelet, pulled Wei Changzai up with her, and quietly pointed ahead.

The mandarin duck rings bound the two tightly together, just like their fate, inseparable.

Lin Feiran's gaze lingered for only a moment before returning to the direction Qiu Tong was pointing.

There, the demon king's servants, already dressed up, were poised to attack, appearing perfectly normal.

But what Qiu Tong just said was precisely the word "be careful".

So she narrowed her gaze slightly, and with a flick of her spear, subtly swept across the crowd.

There are many people coming tonight, and the demons are all cultivators. If a disturbance is caused, the situation will be beyond the control of ordinary people.

His scattered thoughts were completely withdrawn, and his gaze was also withdrawn from Wei Changzai and Qiu Tong, no longer looking in that direction.

Wei Changzai pursed his lips slightly, looked at his hand that had been raised along with him, and silently gazed at Qiu Tong.

She chuckled twice, casually tossed her hair, and explained, "I momentarily forgot that we are connected, which is why I used this hand."

Whether Wei Changzai believed it or not, he pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and looked at the cloud carriage again, saying in a clear voice, "The carriage is about to leave."

He immediately set off, moving forward ahead of the crowd, staying close to the carriage shaft, neither too close nor too far, silently watching the people inside.

It seemed that if they didn't hurry, they would be swept away by the crowd and never catch up again.

On the city wall, Ping An stood with her arms crossed, watching. Beside her, a black and white glutinous rice ball was holding a drumstick and striking out the drumbeats for the city parade.

Midway through the journey, the drumbeats that resounded throughout the demon capital suddenly became more urgent. The demon king, led by Qingzhu, and his servants also leaped out. After dispersing the crowd, they quickly blocked the front of the carriage.

This is the highlight of the Night Tour: the Demon King is defeated.

In previous years, the Demon King's servants were all selected from people in the Demon Capital, and the head Demon King was taken turns by Xun Feifei and a few others, and this year was no exception.

Qingzhu, the Demon King, stood far behind her, exchanging a smile with her.

There were about twenty demons disguised as servants. Their faces were painted with colorful patterns, making their features indistinguishable. The women wore light gauze dresses, while the men wore only tight-fitting brocade robes, but their lower bodies were very flashy. They were bare-chested and bare-legged, which was quite characteristic of the demon race.

The light sound of whips and drums rang out in the Demon Capital. The cloud chariot moved forward, and one of the demons raised his ring-pommel sword and leaped to the side of the chariot to fight Lin Feiran with his sword.

Lin Feiran was initially wary, but after exchanging a few blows, she relaxed and found nothing suspicious about the man.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this contest of skills was not real; they would just have a brief exchange and stop when they were at a disadvantage.

So the spear moved like a small dragon, the knife like a stone-crushing blade, and in the back and forth they flashed with inspiration and unleashed their techniques. It was not without its excitement, and the crowd watched with great interest. But everyone knew it was all just a show, so they felt less pressure and more relaxed and lazy.

"Do we have to fight them one by one? When will we receive the blessed artifacts?" someone asked impatiently.

"That would take us to Zhongque Street, and then another quarter of an hour. But I do enjoy watching; this human's movement technique is quite good."

"It's really good, but it would be even more exciting if the fight were a bit more intense!"

After about ten moves, the demon with colorful patterns pretended to fight back, clutching his waist and abdomen as he quickly retreated behind Qingzhu, then looked on as if nothing had happened.

The drumbeats continued all around, and another wave of people leaped out, but by this time some looked distracted, their attention already elsewhere, and they had no time to pay attention.

This time there were five people, their movements were synchronized, and their skills were exceptional.

The moment they landed, they spontaneously formed a Five Elements Formation, and their longswords were swung out simultaneously. Before Lin Feiran could react, an extremely explosive spiritual energy surged toward her!

The distance was so short and the attack came so suddenly. The surrounding demons were not far away, so she could not dodge and could only take the hit head-on. But no matter how fast she formed the hand seals with her right hand, she was still a moment too slow.

Just as she was preparing to withstand the attack, another golden light suddenly burst forth, shattering the incoming force and creating a muffled, thunderous sound that even drowned out the drumbeats that filled the sky, making people's eardrums ring!

The five people who had set up their formation were instantly forced back several steps, their faces turning ashen. The demons and civilians watching from the sidelines also retreated one after another, and the street suddenly widened.

Amidst the uproar, the cloud chariot, adorned with gold, jade, and mother-of-pearl, shuddered violently, and the flowing silk gauze ripped apart, scattering into pieces that vanished into the night sky like wisps of cotton.

Then the jade statue inside the carriage was revealed to the public, and it remained perfectly still.

Lin Feiran glanced back; the veil was still on, and the jade statue was undamaged.

She turned to look at the person in front of the car, her gaze gradually calming down.

It seems this is the person Qiu Tong warned her to be careful of.

A cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd, and everyone's expressions gradually became excited. The demons were always warlike, and they assumed that this was a deliberate arrangement by Lin Feiran and the others. They never thought that anyone would be so bold as to cause trouble on the night of the night tour.

The five people who had been knocked back returned with renewed force, and Lin Feiran did not wait while they set up their formation.

She first looked at Xuanzhen and Biqing, quietly shook her head, indicating that there was no need to make a big fuss and cause panic among the crowd. Then she put the spear back in the carriage and made a hand seal with her right hand again.

The five people formed a formation with their bodies, stepping on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The place where spiritual energy surged was the core of the formation, and the so-called core of the formation was under the cloud chariot where she was located.

It was precisely because of the blessing of this Five Elements Formation that their combined sword strike possessed such power.

The cloud chariot procession almost came to a halt here. The blue-eyed golden-eyed beast sensed something was wrong and became somewhat restless. Its claws scraped the ground, producing a terrifying clanging sound.

Lin Feiran stepped onto the back of the Golden-Eyed Beast with his right leg, pressed down with his left hand to soothe its head, his legs were in a bow stance, his waist and back slightly lowered, like a bow ready to be drawn, but his eyes were fixed on the front.

"This is how it should be!" someone cheered. "When the Demon Lord killed the Demon King, it must have been just as tense, not like the childish game we just played!"

Those around, unaware of the reason, paid no attention to the somber atmosphere, instead thoroughly enjoying the thrill of a taut bowstring.

Lin Feiran ignored him, his eyes only on the five people who had formed an array.

They didn't understand where the golden light had come from, and feeling wary, they acted with much more caution.

A man wielding a wooden sword stepped out of the formation. He unleashed a powerful spell, and the surrounding wooden branches and willows immediately rustled and fell from their branches, transforming into sharp blades that surrounded Lin Feiran.

The moment the man approached with his sword, Lin Feiran slightly raised his right hand, and a beam of light, like moonlight, flew from Xingzhi Palace, flashing through the night and bringing with it a sharp gust of wind. Before anyone could see it clearly, it landed steadily in Lin Feiran's hand.

It was an extremely long sword, almost as tall as her shoulder when held upright, with a mirror-like blade and several intertwined patterns.

Then there was another uproar, and above the cloud chariot behind her, a gold-sprinkled red umbrella opened, slowly rotated and descended, resting diagonally on the side of the jade statue's neck.

The contrast of red and white is particularly striking.

"This is a treasure she retrieved from the Valley of Pilgrims!"

Some people had already heard of Lin Feiran's deeds and recognized the Golden Wave Sword.

"I never expected to see it on the night tour today. Just one look and I know it's no ordinary thing!"

The spiritual treasures of Pilgrimage Valley have always been priceless in the demon realm, and everyone was naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to see them in this way.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. While everyone was still marveling at what had happened, Lin Feiran had already confronted that person.

Because of the Five Elements Formation, the wooden sword contained a natural spiritual essence. When the Golden Wave Sword swept across it, before it even touched the sword, it was entangled by the spiritual vines that grew on the wooden sword, making it difficult to move.

Seeing this, the man sneered, and with his other hand he made a hand seal, heading straight for his face!

Lin Feiran immediately leaned back to avoid it, his legs slightly parted as he stepped back onto the carriage shaft. With a flick of his wrist, the Golden Wave Sword transformed into a single-edged longsword. He slashed with it, severing the spirit vine. The longsword, which had been cleaved through the man's magic, cut through his spell, its tip piercing his chest and arm, spilling a trail of crimson blood!

The man's face turned even paler, and he immediately retreated hastily. The leaves, sharp as blades, instantly surrounded him, leaving no room for escape!

Just as everyone was on tenterhooks and exclaiming in alarm, the leaves attacking from all directions suddenly stopped beside her, as if they were stuck in some kind of invisible glue, unable to advance even an inch further.

The surrounding demons held their breath and looked up.

The red umbrella had somehow landed on Lin Feiran's head; it was clearly its doing.

"As expected of something from the Pilgrimage Valley, it truly is a natural treasure!" someone couldn't help but exclaim with envy.

Lin Feiran paid no attention to what was happening. The moment the attacking leaf was brought under control, lightning flashed beneath her feet, and she arrived at the Five Elements Formation almost simultaneously with the person wielding the wooden sword. She even casually twirled her sword, and the five people's expressions finally changed drastically, and they all retreated!

This was exactly what she wanted; she always dealt with such formations one by one!

With a twist of the hilt, the sword struck the chest of the man wielding the wooden sword. Already injured, the man was sent flying several meters by the sudden blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Good!" Such vibrant colors did not frighten the demons; instead, they excited them.

After Lin Feiran knocked the person away, she took their place, standing on the Xun (Southeast) wood side, and attacked the Gen (Northeast) earth side. The person was wielding an earth sword, but it was countered by the wood side, so its power was greatly reduced. In addition, the person's swordsmanship was inferior to hers, so he was temporarily outmaneuvered and looked somewhat disheveled.

Having just finished his pilgrimage to the Valley of the Gods, Lin Feiran was no longer holding back. Seizing the opportunity, he thrust the Golden Wave Sword straight towards the man's ribs, piercing through his abdomen with unstoppable force.

With her long legs striding across the Gen (艮) earth position, before anyone could react, her sword had already turned towards the Kan (坎) water position. This move was like a counterattack, making it impossible to defend against!

The water sword in the man's hand was originally shimmering, but this move caught him off guard. He instinctively tried to protect himself, but unfortunately the water sword was invisible and could not be concealed. Suddenly, she pierced through the sword and hit him right in the chest!

She broke through three people in just a few breaths with a Five Elements Formation that was not to be underestimated. Because it was so smooth and effortless, it was as if she had rehearsed it in advance, and no one present doubted it.

Lin Feiran was about to attack the fourth person when a chill suddenly ran down her spine. She heard several gusts of wind and immediately made a hand seal. The next moment, she appeared under the Golden Ripples Umbrella.

Right where she had just stood, several daggers were driven deep into the ground, exuding a chilling aura. Spiderweb-like patterns appeared on the bluestone, and black ice condensed on it!

But it was not over yet. Just as she landed back on the carriage shaft, a thin blade followed her, and at the same time, it broke through the Golden Ripples Umbrella's restriction with an extremely strong spiritual force.

She is the master of the Golden Wave Sword. The master of the sword is closely related to the sword. Her current cultivation level is not high, so the damage that the Golden Wave Umbrella can withstand is naturally limited.

This shows that this person's level of understanding is far superior to hers.

In an instant, a figure appeared before him, his long fingers twisting slightly, instantly gripping the chilling thin blade. Ice condensed on the blade, but he crushed it in his grasp!

Lin Feiran looked at the newcomer with some surprise, then whispered, "Qingzhu, you are now the Demon King, what are you doing with the Intercepting Blade?"

Qingzhu looked up at her and smiled slightly: "Acting is a small matter, life and death are the big ones."

He then turned to face the opposite side and said loudly, "As the Demon King, although I am licentious and shameless, I still retain some integrity in combat. I would never stoop to such underhanded tactics. Who did this?"

Everyone knew his identity, and when they saw him say this with a smile on his face, they were speechless for a moment.

Amidst the restless servants of the demon king, a sneer suddenly rang out, and a person with painted facial features, finely braided hair, and a mouthful of shark teeth stepped out from the crowd.

Qingzhu narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I don't recall having anyone like you among my servants."

Not only him, but upon closer inspection, even the five people who had just formed the formation, as well as a small number of "servants," were no longer the people he had originally selected.

It seems we can't let anyone paint the picture next year.

The man glanced at him briefly before turning his gaze to Lin Feiran: "Who knows? Perhaps you're just forgetful. Now it's my turn to meet this envoy!"

After a moment's thought, Qingzhu turned to Lin Feiran and said, "Don't worry, just do it."

After saying that, he returned to his original position and looked at this place from afar.

They came and went in a hurry, leaving Lin Feiran completely bewildered. But just then, the man with a mouthful of shark teeth made his move.

He removed his black robe, revealing a body covered in clanging daggers. At the same time, a woman emerged from the body, wielding two swords. Her face was covered in intricate patterns, making her unrecognizable.

But Qiu Tong, who was far away, recognized her at a glance; it was Qing Yao.

However, in order to conceal her identity, she replaced her usual double maces with double swords, but their power should not be weak.

The person who came was Qingyao, and the person with braided hair was naturally Chiya who accompanied her.

The two sides faced off. Lin Feiran watched quietly as the tip of his sword touched the ground, and suddenly a silence fell over him.

The atmosphere changed so drastically that not only did they remain silent, but even the spectators around them fell silent, not daring to disturb the exciting battle that was about to unfold.

Suddenly, Lin Feiran raised her hand, and the Golden Ripples Umbrella immediately spun and rose into the air. Lightning rose again beneath her feet as she charged forward. The woman opposite her also suddenly drew her twin swords, crossed her arms, and blocked Lin Feiran's surprise attack in an instant!

However, Lin Feiran was quite strong. Even though the crossed swords blocked Jin Lan's attack, Qing Yao was still knocked back several steps.

The sword was not her usual weapon, and coupled with lingering doubts, she hesitated when she made her move. Lin Feiran noticed her slowness and glanced at her face, but for some reason felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Despite the intricate patterns on her face, her eyes were undisguised, and upon closer inspection, they resembled Qiu Tong's.

Since it was a fox clan member who came to make a move, this person might be a relative of Qiu Tong, and yet he hesitated so much before acting...

Lin Feiran's eyes shifted, and he continued to press down with the Golden Wave Sword in his hand. Then he struck her away with a palm, turning back to deal with the Shark Tooth man.

Almost the instant the two clashed swords, a cold glint came from behind. Lin Feiran bent down to dodge it, and with a flick of his wrist, the extremely long Golden Wave Sword blocked the dagger at his back, circled around the edge of the blade a few times, and shot back in the same direction!

Chi Ya spun around and took it, the dagger between his fingers. Suddenly, he stretched out his long tongue and slowly licked it, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Feiran.

Given the scale of the conflict today, we must strike decisively and leave her no room for retreat!

He glanced at Qingyao and said slowly, "You'd better know what you're doing."

After he finished speaking, the daggers hanging all over Chi Ya's body suddenly fell down, scattered and hovering beside him, and attacked fiercely along with him.

The daggers, their blades sharp as cold glints, were spread out like stars in the sky or a net in the heavens, attacking Lin Feiran relentlessly!

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Lin Fei took a half step back, raised her sword to meet the attack. Although the Golden Wave Sword was long, it was incredibly agile in her hands, making full use of its length and strength.

The blade, the edge, the hilt, and even the tip—every part is capable of striking back against a dagger. Combined with the Flowing Wind Sword Technique, such a confrontation is not difficult.

Strangely, every time she deflected a dagger, it would immediately split in two and attack her again. After only one round, the original dozen or so daggers had split into fifty, and they became finer and sharper with each split. She couldn't protect herself, and in the blink of an eye, several scratches had appeared on her legs and arms.

At that moment, the woman wielding two swords burst into the battle. Her swordplay was clearly much more resolute and sharp than before. Lin Feiran no longer cared and countered with a fast sword, using either a knife or a sword, and relied on her extremely skillful movements to overpower her.

The woman clearly sensed something, so she channeled her spiritual energy into her hand, used her sword as a mace, leaped up suddenly, spun around, and landed heavily, knocking Lin Feiran back several steps.

The two were at a higher level than him, so a direct confrontation was not an option. Lin Feiran pondered the situation while employing guerrilla tactics.

In mid-air, the crimson umbrella with golden ripples almost blended into the darkness of the night, making it difficult to see.

Lin Feiran secretly manipulated it to wander around, but openly attacked the woman with a sword first. Then she flashed to a distance to dodge the flying ice dagger. When the Golden Ripples Umbrella quickly moved behind Chi Ya, she also flashed behind it and slashed down with her sword!

The moment the blade fell, the countless tiny daggers that had split off instantly merged into one, forming a longsword that rang out and blocked Jin Lan's attack!

Chiya was somewhat annoyed. He turned around and looked at the man, his eyes gradually turning red: "He really is a mudfish!"

Lin Feiran has never been one to recklessly attack with spiritual power. She was stuck in the Sitting Meditation Realm for too long back then, and her cultivation level was low. However, she had experienced many fierce battles and had long been accustomed to using everything she saw around her for her own benefit. Whether it was a war of attrition or guerrilla warfare, she could do it with ease.

With a few clangs, Qingyao's two swords fell to the ground, and a bloody gash instantly appeared on her arm!

"Since you have no will to fight, why bother? If I were you, I would immediately play the victim and withdraw from the battlefield, leaving him all alone."

Lin Feiran's voice was barely audible, yet she had also mastered the art of winning hearts and minds.

"Hold back now, so that if there is a reckoning later, the fox clan will not be implicated."

Qingyao immediately turned to look at her, her eyes filled with surprise. Lin Feiran immediately raised her hand and struck her with a palm, knocking her out of the battle. When she looked again, she was indeed lying on the ground, seemingly unable to fight anymore.

Seeing this, Chiya clicked his tongue in amazement, cursed under his breath as a piece of trash, and immediately looked up at the sky.

The flames blazed brightly, and the Golden Umbrella, which had previously been faintly visible, had vanished without a trace. Lin Feiran, relying on this move, appeared and disappeared around him like a mudfish burrowing into the ground, moving at an extremely fast speed.

The longsword that had been condensed into a single blade dispersed again, splitting into several daggers that hovered around him. However, his opponents could not lock onto them, and no matter how many there were, it was all in vain.

Before coming here, Chi Ya knew nothing about Lin Feiran, only that he was a cultivator in the realm of questioning the mind, and that he could be killed in a few moves.

Who knew it was actually a loach carrying a top-grade magic weapon!

If we had prepared in advance, we wouldn't have been caught off guard like this today!

The two were locked in a stalemate. Although Chi Ya's cultivation level was higher than Lin Feiran's, he could not completely control her. His spiritual weapon often missed its mark, and Lin Feiran was also occasionally injured. Although she could temporarily escape from his grasp, she could not do so indefinitely. This move consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and she could not drag it out for long.

In this stalemate, the two are locked in a battle to find a way to break the deadlock; whoever can come up with one faster will win.

Chi Ya had lost patience; his eyes were bloodshot, and he brandished more and more daggers, which swirled around the field like a storm, determined to leave Lin Feiran with nowhere to escape!

This move was extremely powerful, even affecting the demons participating in the parade around it, who were immediately filled with exclamations and curses.

Some people thought he was going crazy and hurting innocent people, while others sensed something was wrong and said he was doing it on purpose, so they started to fight back.

The market was already crowded with people, and now that someone had started a fight, the scene immediately descended into chaos.

The demon race is inherently warlike, so to prevent the situation from escalating, Biqing and Xuanzhen immediately led their men to quell the commotion. Xun Feifei intervened to stop the stray spiritual light from harming innocents, and the group was temporarily unable to spare any attention for others.

In the midst of the battle, daggers were everywhere, and no matter how fast Lin Feiran dodged, he could not completely avoid them.

She looked at the chaotic and out-of-control crowd around her, the teenagers covering their heads and hiding, and the children burying their heads on her shoulders, her lips slightly pursed.

Whether for their sake or for the sake of the snow-covered nights, a solution must be found now!

As she lingered longer and longer, her spiritual energy drained faster and faster. She stared intently at the gleaming daggers, and in a flash, a brilliant idea suddenly came to her mind.

At this critical moment, she even considered waking up the Yin-Yang symbol.

"Your Majesty, are you still in Xingzhi Palace?"

A moment later, a reply came like scattered snowflakes: "You can't even fight properly, and you dare to get distracted?"

Lin Feiran understood immediately: "So you were watching. Perfect timing! I've thought of the return gift you gave me earlier—the sword for my disciple. You'd better keep a close eye on it!"

Having said that, without waiting for Ru Xian's reply, she stopped her swiftly moving figure. Her silver figure stood under the lotus lantern, her body bearing fine scars, yet her gaze was intense.

She spun around to dodge the dagger, then looked at the restless blue-eyed golden beast and said, "May I borrow a light?"

The big cat clearly hadn't developed any rapport with her, only tilting its head slightly.

Lin Feiran chuckled lightly, not forcing the issue. She continuously blocked the cold light dagger with her long sword, while raising her other hand to form a seal. As Chi Ya attacked, she absorbed all the crimson gold flames from the lotus lanterns on the long street.

In an instant, the city of Lancheng, the capital of the demons, suddenly went dark, leaving only the lights in the hands of the crowd shining like stars.

The previously chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent. Chi Ya, who had never encountered such a "tricky trick" before, was suddenly plunged into darkness, his palm strike missed its mark, and the scattered daggers also mysteriously paused for a moment.

The tiny clusters of flames on the lotus lantern were now rotating and converging towards Lin Feiran.

She looked at the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast again and said, "May I borrow your Crimson Gold Fire?"

The big cat then understood, but before it could raise its head and breathe fire, a phoenix suddenly cried out beside the cloud chariot, its cry echoing through the night sky.

A fiery phoenix, appearing from nowhere, flew out and illuminated half the sky.

It hovered in the air for a moment, then swooped down and rushed into the spinning array of daggers. Although it did not get close to Lin Feiran, it seemed to understand what she was thinking. It swirled and burned alone in the array, turning each of the cold blades red-hot.

Lin Feiran's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not look in the direction from which the fire phoenix had come.

She crept up to the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, patted its head, and a brighter burst of crimson-gold flame erupted from it.

She leaped forward, her palms flashing as she spread out the uncontrollable flames, creating a golden fire wind with the same trajectory!

The crimson fire was far beyond the reach of ordinary flames, with extremely high heat. At this moment, the golden fire and the cold daggers went hand in hand, and in no time, the flying daggers all turned red, and some even melted into gold!

Chiya stared at all of this in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.

He has fought against countless powerful opponents, and there are far too many weaklings like Lin Feiran.

He considered himself to be very experienced in combat. Before coming here, he thought he only needed to be wary of the Demon Lord making a move, but the Demon Lord never appeared from beginning to end, so he thought he was sure to win.

But every move he made in his duel with Lin Feiran was so bizarre!

Not only do they dodge with a flash, but their attacks, though seemingly random, are surprisingly effective and impossible to defend against!

Who on earth would think of melting the other person's weapon during a fight?!

They're using the Crimson Gold Fire of the Golden-Eyed Beast!

Chi Ya was furious, but this crimson gold fire was not something that ordinary stream water could extinguish, nor was it something he could control. He was helpless and could only watch as his spiritual weapon was melted into liquid gold by the crimson gold fire.

You want to give me this?

The sound was like whistling wind, and I couldn't discern the emotion behind it.

"no."

Lin Feiran shook her head, and seeing the surrounding demons crowding and making noise, she smiled and turned to land on the roof of the car.

"Today should have been peaceful, without too much turmoil, but I have caused such chaos. How innocent I am."

Whether it's an apology or a thank-you gift, I should reciprocate. Why not take this opportunity to offer something in return?

"Like hailstones, would you like to see fireworks?"

Lin Feiran leaped forward, long sword in hand, and struck upward with a fierce blow. Molten iron, glowing red-hot and like gold, exploded in the night sky, scattering brilliant streaks of light, like golden fireworks, blooming in everyone's eyes.

The rioting crowd suddenly quieted down.

This is the first firework in the demon realm.

It was also the first firework that Ru Xian had ever seen.

Before seeing it, he never imagined that fireworks could be so brilliant and beautiful, like a dream, like a tree of fire and silver flowers, yet lasting longer.

"..."

Lin Feiran heard no response, only a few soft breaths.

She set off again, and then a second, a third... many iron flowers bloomed in mid-air. The breathing around her became lighter, yet seemed somewhat urgent.

Somewhere, Ru Xian stared blankly at these things she was seeing for the first time, her expression stunned. She felt something within her surge up again, and then, like these iron flowers, she was destroyed and exploded under her sword.

After looking at it for a long time, his gaze shifted downwards.

Lin Feiran ran amidst the fireworks, brandishing her sword. Her silver figure moved among them, striking out one firework after another. The brilliant colors flashed across her eyebrows and the corners of her upturned lips, leaving only a faint shadow.

That was Lin Feiran's unique color.

As everyone's attention was drawn to the firelight, Xun Feifei raised her hand and formed a hand seal. A silent ripple spread through the shadows of the street, and moments later, all those who had made their move were bound within it, unable to escape.

He looked up at the sky, his expression relaxing.

Xuanzhen and Biqing had never seen fireworks before, and their faces were full of longing.

With Lin Feiran taking the lead, they naturally couldn't hold back and immediately joined in, resulting in bursts of sparks exploding in the night sky, dazzling and spectacular.

"Are you satisfied with this return gift?" Her words carried a hint of sarcasm, yet she still received no answer.

Lin Feiran twirled her sword and returned the Golden Wave Sword to its sheath. She smiled and said, "If I don't speak, I'll go ask your statue!"

Behind the veil, she was suddenly met by a pair of shimmering blue eyes.

He looked at himself quietly. Although his skin was as white as jade and glowed with a radiant light, he was by no means a statue!

Lin Feiran's eyes widened, and she suddenly withdrew, but he grabbed her wrist, causing the light veil covering her to slide down, revealing a face that was unforgettable at first glance.

Ru Xian glanced at her, then looked at the clusters of iron flowers blooming in mid-air. Golden light flashed in his eyes, and his expression was not as smiling as usual, but rather had an indescribable cold seriousness.

"This is the first time I've ever seen fireworks."

He finally spoke.

"Only Lin Feiran would give it to me."

He turned his gaze back to her, his expression both enigmatic and dangerous to Lin Feiran. He released her hand, instead placing his hand on the back of her neck, leaning closer as a cool fragrance enveloped her.

He spoke softly, calling Lin Feiran by that familiar yet unfamiliar title once again.

I really like your return gift.

"I like all the jewels, jade, gold, and tourmaline in the Bhikkhu."

"This is the best return gift I've ever received."
