When the scorching fire wind gradually dissipated, Pei Ji retracted his sword energy and distanced himself from Ning Ning again.

The remaining heat was scattered in the air, like the residual tide on the beach, quietly seeping into the invisible gaps between every grain of sand, suffocating all the senses in the body.

Ning Ning lowered her voice: "Be careful, there is movement in the cave."

As she said, in the terrifying silence, a very faint rustling sound came from the depths of the cave. The

cave where the Fire Phoenix lived was deep and quiet, surrounded by jagged rocks piled up in a mess. The sound came along the corridor. At first, it was just like a low cry, and it scratched the eardrums together with the surging wind on the top of the mountain. Later, it became sharper and louder, almost shaking the rocks beside the cave.

The clear light from the sky dotted the entrance of the cave. With this light, a dark shadow slowly appeared on the rock wall of the cave.

"It's the Fire Phoenix!"

Qiao Yan said in surprise: "It must have sensed the breath of living people... Everyone be careful!"

Ning Ning stared at the entrance of the cave and subconsciously grasped the hilt of the Star Mark Sword.

They had encountered the black bird in Xiaochong Mountain before and had some contact with it. Overall, they were barely safe and sound. Except that He Zhizhou was beaten up by Tianxianzi after the incident and became seriously injured.

However, the Fire Phoenix here is completely different from the Black Bird clan. It is an unintelligent beast that only knows how to rob and kill. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a disaster to Xishan, and took away the jade pendant passed down from generation to generation by the Fox Clan during the battle when Qiao Yan's father died, so as to cultivate itself.

With a sharp blade-like spike piercing the heat wave, the shadow finally emerged from the cave.

The fire phoenix was red in color, graceful in figure, and more than ten feet tall. Its huge wings suddenly spread out after leaving the cave, allowing its lush feathers to outline flowing lines. Under each wing was an unstoppable force.

The first thing that attracted Ning Ning's full attention was its pair of sinister and cloudy eyes.

Its pupils were also a dark red, more like they were soaked in layers of blood than flames, full of repressed and crazy emotions, making people feel a chill on their backs just by looking at them.

This was the look of a beast when it was plundering food, without any rationality, only the purest bestiality.

The fire phoenix was no less irritable than the black bird. Before it had scanned everyone present, it let out a roar from the depths of its throat as soon as it met its face. The

surging flames gathered into a fireball, and with the help of the hunting wind on the top of the mountain, it attacked everyone like a sharp sword out of its sheath! The

fire phoenix's flame was not an ordinary thing. Not only was it powerful, but it was also wrapped in a large amount of spiritual pressure.

This was the first time Ning Ning had a direct confrontation with it. If she got too excited and drew her sword to block it, she would probably end up having a barbecue dinner on the spot. After a moment of consideration, she decided to jump back lightly to see what its strength was. The strong wind carried waves of fire , and it seemed as if it was

going to burn the West Mountain to ashes, sweeping over the sky and the earth. The rubble on the top of the mountain was attacked by the wind and waves, and was blown up into the air by the strong wind, falling towards everyone like a thousand arrows. He Zhizhou had been stupid for so long, and finally he became a man for once. He immediately mobilized all his spiritual power, used sword energy to protect his body, set up a shield around himself and Liu Ying, and took her to hide behind a huge rock. "Thank you...thank you brother He." Liu Ying said with difficulty, and her originally white face lost its color at this time, and was no different from a thin piece of paper. He Zhizhou saw her lips trembling and sweating, and he immediately knew that something was wrong. He looked in the direction of Miss Liu's lowered gaze and saw her bloody shoulder. ——The gust of wind came unexpectedly. Before he could unleash his sword energy, a sharp conical stone slab pierced directly into Liu Ying's right shoulder. The charming girl's face turned pale. Looking at He Zhizhou's frightened look, she snorted in her heart. She read the two storybooks "West Palace" and "Grass Hundred Bones" over and over again, and she had long understood a truth: men are like this. They don't know how to cherish when everything is fine. Now when she is injured, they will rise a little pity from the bottom of their hearts and regret it. ——Even if he is successful and well-off, he has lost his precious love. How tragic and cruel! At this moment, she is the seriously injured heroine. Looking at He Zhizhou's pitying and longing eyes, he must have changed his mind and will take good care of her and love her from now on. He Zhizhou knew nothing about what she was thinking. He only felt that Miss Liu was wearing white clothes, and the blood was like free ketchup, which was slapped on the white paper. This reminded him of the French fries and burgers far away in his hometown. He felt a little nostalgic and a little hungry. "Miss Liu!" Seeing the blood on Liu Ying's shoulder flowing out, He Zhizhou felt that his shoulder was also aching with her. He was panicked and pulled the stone out of her arm. He heard the girl next to him groan in pain. "Don't--" Liu Ying tried hard to squeeze out this word from between her teeth. The moment the words came out, the stone cone had already left her body. She cursed this idiot over and over again in her heart, but due to the character setting, she could only say with a weak voice: "Brother He, if you don't take it out, maybe you can stop the bleeding." He Zhizhou felt as if he was holding a weapon in his hand. Hearing her say this, he felt extremely guilty and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was also anxious for a moment!" Liu Ying originally planned to reply him with a tender and pitiful "OK". However, before she could say anything, she choked in her throat, her voice shrank back, and her two eyeballs suddenly jumped out, almost popping out of her eye sockets- fuck!!! Seeing that she was unhappy, the idiot actually poked the stone pillar back, poked it back!!! She was in so much pain that her eyes were about to burst. She really wanted to say, you idiot with an underdeveloped cerebellum, why are you doing this? But she couldn't do that. She was just an innocent, weak and ignorant little white flower. Even if he poked her again and again, she could only bite her lips with tears in her eyes: "Brother He, what are you doing?" He Zhizhou was a little embarrassed. He was not stupid enough to kill my teammates, but he was scared by Huo Huang before and lost his sense of proportion. He also heard Liu Ying crying and talking in his ear. In a panic, he subconsciously put the stone cone back in. But of course he couldn't tell her the truth, that would only make him look like a fool.

He was silent for a long while. Although he lacked confidence, he still tried to show his righteousness: "Don't be afraid, Miss Liu. The situation is critical now. We can only take this last resort to stop the bleeding. When we are out of danger, I will carefully treat your injuries."

A tear fell from the corner of Liu Ying's eyes.

- Then you, please stab her in the same place.

She only had one bloody wound on her body before, and now she was stabbed again by He Zhizhou. Buy one get one free, and it becomes two.

If she died today, the culprit must not be Huo Huang, but this stupid teammate.

Liu Ying tried her best to hold back the blood in her throat, and asked him with tears in her eyes: "Brother He, has anyone ever told you?"

He Zhizhou replied blankly: "Uh... I love you very much?" "

No."

She was so angry that she laughed: "Your brain is really different from that of ordinary people."

He Zhizhou understood this time.

This person was scolding him.

"Is Brother Liu injured?"

Ning Ning cut off a cluster of fire with her sword energy and hurriedly glanced at the two of them: "How is the situation, is there any serious problem?" This is the real concern!

Everything depends on the support of her peers. With the contrast of He Zhizhou and Xu Ye, Ning Ning's figure swinging the sword to fight the enemy is so beautiful and reliable that Liu Ying's nose is sore: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine!"

Ning Ning then gave her a faint smile.

The sword light and firelight are shrouded in the girl's fair and delicate face. The dark almond eyes seem to be filled with stars. With just a slight bend, thousands of sword intentions and tenderness flow between them, making people willing to indulge in them.

Liu Ying wondered why she didn't choose Ning Ning to approach at the beginning?

"I don't have many water talismans anymore!"

Although they are sword cultivators, they also know some knowledge of talismans. Xu Yi used water dragons to disperse the fire countless times, but the talismans were limited, while the flames raised by the Fire Phoenix were endless. After a while, all his belongings were almost emptied.

The temperature in the West Mountain was already scorching, and it was burned so recklessly that even the air and soil could be steamed. Xu Yi was exhausted from the fight, and Pei Ji beside him also frowned.

The Fire Phoenix not only attacked fiercely, but its wings that protected its body were even more troublesome.

Unlike ordinary birds, this kind of century-old beast has long been strong and solid. The fiery red feathers on its body look soft, but in fact they have gathered into a very solid armor that completely covers it.

Pei Ji never resorted to fancy tricks in a fight, he just drew his sword and started fighting, but after much difficulty he managed to split the layers of flames, allowing the little remaining sword energy to barely touch the body of the Fire Phoenix, but the thin sword energy could hardly hurt it at all.

Ning Ning dodged quickly most of the time, occasionally using the Star Mark Sword to cut off the oncoming hot and fishy wind, staring at the direction of the Fire Phoenix from beginning to end.

She was observing.

This big bird has both offensive and defensive capabilities, if it only had that layer of solid feathers, maybe it could be split with brute force; but now the raging flames continued, surrounding its body, forming the most difficult to break shield, it was difficult for them to even approach, let alone draw their swords to fight.

——What if they don't get close?

Ning Ning's eyes darkened slightly, and she swayed, nimbly leaping onto the huge rock beside the Fire Phoenix. Pei Ji had just chopped off the fire, and standing at this geographical location, one could clearly see it spitting out flames.

No.

It wasn't "spitting out flames", but rather drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the body to the front of the mouth, and after it turned into a scorching white light, she exhaled forcefully, blowing it around.

Unfortunately, she was still worried about the Fire Phoenix before, but if it was like this... wouldn't it be much easier to deal with?

Xu Ye had no water talisman, so he could only hurriedly chop off the waves of fire and wind. Who would have thought that when he looked up, he saw Ning Ning leaping forward and jumping straight into the flames spewed out by the Fire Phoenix.

He was so frightened that he was afraid that the girl would get dizzy from the heat, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Ningning, what are you doing?"

But Ningning glanced at him quickly, her scattered black hair like mist and gauze, covering her eyebrows and eyes a little, revealing her light-colored thin lips with a smile.

She actually laughed out loud, her voice was as crisp as the swinging and colliding of wind chimes, which was really out of tune with the surrounding scene: "You can't use water to deal with fire."

Xu Ye was stunned for a moment.

If you don't need water to put out the fire, what should you use?

Ningning didn't say anything else, because she was getting closer and closer to the surging fire tide, and even breathing was a little difficult. She had used telepathy to tell Pei Ji to evacuate first, so that she would be the only one left to confront the Fire Phoenix.

All the fire will come towards one person.

It was almost the same as imagined. Since the other enemies retreated one after another, the Fire Phoenix had to focus all its attention on the little girl not far away.

Moreover, she was standing facing the fire. It only needed to exert a little force to burn her to the point where not even a bone was left.

Murderous intent surged in its blood-red pupils. The giant bird, which was completely flaming red, let out a long cry. Most of the flames surrounding it rose up in response and rushed straight towards the motionless shadow.

Ning Ning tightly grasped the Star Mark Sword in her hand and counted down silently in her heart.

If the Fire Phoenix sprayed flames directly from its mouth, it would mean that it was not afraid of fire and had a strong fire resistance attribute; but if it was just quietly rolling fireballs in the air like now, then there was a high probability that it was also afraid of being burned by fire.

Since the fire phoenix's flames are vicious and violent, and are definitely not ordinary; and its wings are invulnerable and extremely strong.

If this most vicious flame hits the most difficult feathers to break, what will happen?

Ning Ning held her breath, took out a few talismans from her storage bag, and secretly chanted the formula. Then, with the blessing of several talismans, she drew her sword and flew up. Wherever the sword light reached, star marks appeared.

You can't use water to deal with fire.

You have to use wind.

In ancient times, Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind at Red Cliff. Now she didn't have the right time and place, so she used a bunch of wind talismans, a rushing fire wind, and a sword -

to create the wind herself.

"What is she doing...!"

Liu Ying endured the pain, and in the scorching firelight, she stared at the pale figure not far away, her fingertips trembling.

The wind blew loudly in the wilderness.

The girl's long skirt rustled in the wind, and the long sword hummed like a dragon's long roar, and after a clear sound, it suddenly fell down -

in an instant, the sword wind was surging and continuous.

The snow-white sword shadow was full of the color of the stars, turning into a dazzling light like a torrent and waterfall, even dimming the scorching sun above the dome.

Standing in the center of the galaxy, Ningning's eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and for the first time, her face, which was always full of smiles, showed cold determination and sword breath.

The strong wind caused by the talisman sounded suddenly, and the strong wind raised by the Fire Phoenix swirled like a stream. Even more powerful was the sword wind from her long sword.

The rocks shook wildly, the dragons roared, and the huge rolling flames borrowed the west wind and roared like a dragon swinging its tail...

rushing straight to the vital point of the Fire Phoenix!

=====

"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no! Oh my, another disciple of mine was sent away."

Outside the mysterious mirror, a petite young woman sighed for a long time with a look of regret on her face, causing Qu Feiqing beside her to smile softly with her hands covering her lips.

“The disciples of the Beast Sect are not good at actual combat, so it’s no big deal if they lose.”

Qu Feiqing is the island master of Neon Island, but she has a face as clear and elegant as a fairy. She speaks lazily and always with a smile on her face: “I heard that the young disciples of the Xuanxu Sect went to the West Mountain. Haven’t you always wanted to see the legendary Fire Phoenix? Why don’t you go to the mirror of the elders of the Xuanxu Sect and see what it looks like in person.”

The elders of the Xuanxu Sword Sect all shuddered when they heard this. Tian Xianzi pretended to be calm and put the Xuan mirror away.

"Really?"

The young woman was Lin Qian, the leader of the Beast Sect. She turned her head with shining eyes and said, "I heard that the Fire Phoenix on the West Mountain is quite interesting. I plan to take it as a spiritual pet when the secret realm opens next time. Elders, can you let me see it?"

The elders of the Xuanxu Sect stared at each other and winked at each other. The scene was as chaotic as ants on a hot pot.

Tian Xianzi had a complicated expression and was hesitant to speak. After looking at Mayoi, he silently turned the Xuanjing around and pointed it in the direction of Lin Qian.

The picture showed a land that was burned black and red. Among the devastation, a huge body was particularly eye-catching.

Bald head, bald body, bald wings and tail.

The darkness of the whole body is like the deep color of the dark night. The wings are half open and half closed, as if still telling the confusion and sadness of life.

The night gave it a black burnt skin, but it used it to find the light.

Through a black mirror, you can smell the faint fragrance of meat.

"This, this..."

Lin Qian's lips and voice trembled together, looking at the familiar strange bird in her memory: "Fire Phoenix?"

"This, it was roasted by its own fire."

Tianxianzi scratched his head and laughed hastily: "There's nothing we can do, it's already burnt like this... How about letting Ningning and the others bring back some dried bacon for you to taste?"

Lin Qian's eyes went dark, her face expressionless, her eyes sharp.

"Maybe she encountered a melee."

Qu Feiqing whispered a few words to comfort her, and then said: "By the way, Liu Ying is walking with Ningning, I wonder if Elder Tianxian can let me see what she is doing now?"

The elders were distracted one after another, some looked around to see the scenery, some lowered their heads and drank tea, Ji Yunkai even whistled and pouted.

Tian Xianzi's expression became more complicated.

This time he did not dare to make a move, but signaled Qu Feiqing to adjust the perspective of the mysterious mirror. The female cultivator moved her white wrist slightly, and the figure of a young girl appeared on the mirror.

Liu Ying in the picture held a jade pendant in her hand, smiling so honestly, simple and sadly, and shouted to everyone: "You didn't expect it! In fact, I am an undercover sent by Neon Island, and I came here specifically to snatch the jade pendant!"

Qu Feiqing thought that the scorched fire phoenix was the end of everything, but she never expected that it was the beginning of all tragedies.

Who can tell her.

Why is her beloved disciple Liu Ying also scorched?

Liu Ying used to be such a beautiful and lovely little girl, but now she looks so miserable that people can't look directly at her.

Her fair little face was covered in black ash. If you didn't know her, you would think she had been digging coal underground for ten years. The most shocking thing was her hair.

The strands of hair on her forehead looked like they had been burned, and all curled up into twisted and twisted shapes like waterweed.

From the front, it looked like she was bald at an early age, with only a few curls on top of her head surviving, like a few strong and unyielding weeds growing in the vast desert.

In just half a day, she went from a fragrant girl to a bright and fragrant top of a mountain, swaying and crying: "You threaten me, bully me, and roast me on fire? You are not human, this is retribution!"

Some people are alive, but they are already dead.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who was worse, Liu Ying or Huo Huang.

Qu Feiqing rarely smiled, and her eyes went dark again, her face expressionless, her eyes sharp.

Tian Xianzi: ...

Tian Xianzi: "This... these two female bodhisattvas, do I still have a chance to explain?"
