Feng Zukui and Feng Tianwei took Xuanyuan Wentian across most of Phoenix City and finally arrived in front of a palace surrounded by flames.
"In front of us is the entrance to the Fenghuo Langhuan Realm." Feng Zukui stopped and said, "These flames are a special barrier left by our ancestor, the Phoenix God. If you want to force your way in, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Xuanyuan Sword Master to do it."
As the voice fell, Feng Zukui raised his hand, and a mysterious flame array appeared in the air, and then dissipated. The aura of the Phoenix Fire Barrier in front of him suddenly weakened, and the flying flames all sank, burning quietly.
“Master Xuanyuan Sword, please come in. And please don’t forget your personal promise.” Feng Tianwei raised his hand and said.
Xuanyuan Wentian nodded slightly and walked towards the entrance of Fenghuo Langhuan Realm. Just as he was about to step in, his steps suddenly stopped and his brows sank: “So you are stalling for time!!”
Feng Zukui and Feng Tianwei's faces changed slightly at the same time, and then they sank. Feng Zukui whispered, "Delaying time? Then I would like to hear from Xuanyuan Sword Master why we are delaying time?"
“Hmph!” Xuanyuan Wentian turned around. By now, both sides knew the truth and there was no need for disguise. He sneered, “Naive! No one I want to kill has ever escaped from my grasp alive! What’s more, you have only these few tricks!”
Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly soared into the sky and headed straight to the north.
"stop!!"
Feng Zukui and Feng Tianwei, who had been gathering their strength, flew out at the same time the moment he stood up. Two phoenix flames blasted out with all their might and blocked in front of Xuanyuan Wentian, exploding in the air and forcing Xuanyuan Wentian to slow down.
“Xuanyuan Wentian!!” Feng Zukui’s hair and beard all stood up in the flames, and his voice was deeper than ever before: “You threaten my Divine Phoenix Sect, as long as you don’t cross the bottom line, we can endure the humiliation and surrender. But if you dare to hurt Xue’er… then wait for both sides to be destroyed!”
“I, Feng Tianwei, swear here that if Xue’er encounters any misfortune because of you, even if everything in my Divine Phoenix Sect is burned to ashes, I will grind you to dust!” Feng Tianwei said viciously.
“Hmph, you’re not worthy enough!” Xuanyuan Wentian raised his hand, and the space in front of him suddenly shifted, and all the flames blocking him dispersed.
“Phoenix fire burns the sky!”
Feng Zukui and his son pressed forward from the left and right at the same time, two curtains of blazing fire opened up into the sky, and the sky above Phoenix City was instantly a sea of fire.
Xuanyuan Wentian’s brows sank, and without him making any movement, a light and shadow flickered on his body, and transformed into a huge sword shadow that enveloped his entire body. Then, as he moved, it cut across the phoenix fire curtain that covered the sky.
Boom boom boom…
Xuanyuan Wentian was vulnerable to a single blow from Jasmine, but in the Profound Sky Continent, he was the undisputed number one swordsman! When his sword intent erupted, Feng Zukui and Feng Tianwei could clearly feel that there were suddenly tens of millions of swords shining with cold light in the space around them, without the need for a sword in their hands. Tens of thousands of swords pierced the air, leaving them with a chill on their backs.
The complete fire curtain was cut into irregular flame fragments in a few breaths. Feng Zukui could still hold on, but Feng Tianwei's body energy had been completely disrupted by the impact of the invisible sword energy.
"Oh!!"
Feng Zukui calmed down and roared. A ball of phoenix flame containing his ultimate power condensed in the void and transformed into an incomparably dazzling flaming sun, engulfing Xuanyuan Wentian in the sword shadow.
Xuanyuan Wentian looked to the side, and the sword shadow on his body suddenly flew out, easily piercing through the phoenix flame that Feng Zukui had condensed with all his strength, and then pierced directly into Feng Zukui's chest.
Puff!!
Feng Zukui's chest was covered in blood as he fell backwards. Xuanyuan Wentian sneered but did not chase him. Instead, he increased his speed to the extreme and rushed straight to the north.
“Father…Xuanyuan Wentian!!”
Feng Tianwei glanced at Feng Zukui, then glanced at Xuanyuan Wentian who was flying away quickly. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and chased after Xuanyuan Wentian.
"No need to chase."
Feng Zukui tried his best to stop and called Feng Tianwei. He put his hand on his chest and said while healing his wounds, "With your speed, it's impossible to catch up with him. Even if you catch up, it's useless. We have already reached our limit to delay him until now."
Feng Tianwei's brows contracted for a moment, and then he sighed heavily.
“The rest depends on Xue’er’s luck.” Feng Zukui closed his eyes and sighed as well.
When Xuanyuan Wentian appeared in front of them, Feng Zukui became alert and secretly sent a message to Feng Xue'er using the Phoenix Stone, asking her to leave immediately, the sooner the better, and the farther the better.
As expected, his premonition came true... No, the current situation is a hundred times worse than his premonition.
“Strange? Why did Xuanyuan Wentian discover our intention?” Feng Tianwei frowned and said, “Moreover, Xue’er has been gone for such a long time that her presence could not be detected. Even we don’t know where she would go. However, Xuanyuan Wentian just now decisively headed straight to the north, as if he was very sure of the direction she left…”
Feng Tianwei's words startled Feng Zukui. He quickly glanced around, then descended from the air and stood in front of the entrance of Fenghuo Langhuan Realm. After a while, his face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice, "Blood! This blood..."
“Could it be… that Xue’er took Yun Che’s body with her when she left!?”
“What…what!?” Feng Tianwei was greatly shocked. He quickly released his spiritual sense to the extreme, and indeed, he sensed a bloody smell that had not yet dissipated.
This breath instantly reminded him of Yun Che, whose body was covered in blood!
“It’s bad!” Feng Tianwei’s face turned pale and his whole body trembled. He punched the ground fiercely and said in a hoarse voice: “How could Xue’er be so… so stupid! It would be extremely difficult for her to escape from Xuanyuan Wentian’s claws by herself, so why did she bring Yun Che with her! Even if she has deep feelings for Yun Che… he is already a dead man after all!”
“With Xuanyuan Wentian’s cultivation, it would be a piece of cake for him to follow the blood energy released by Yun Che’s corpse… It’s impossible for Xue’er not to understand this, but she is… Alas!”
Feng Zukui hit his forehead with his hand, feeling extremely miserable.
“At this point, we can only rely on fate.” Feng Zukui sighed, “I hope that our ancestor Feng Shen is still alive and can protect Xue’er from this disaster… If so, even if my old bones turn into dust soon, I won’t have any big regrets.”
There was a fluctuation of profound energy coming from Feng Tianwei's Phoenix Stone. He picked up the Phoenix Stone and heard Feng Hengkong's voice: "Father, grandfather, there is news from South City. Three people with extraordinary auras just flew over. Judging from their clothes... they are most likely Huangji Wuyu, Qu Fengyi, and Ye Meixie!"
“!!” Feng Tianwei and Feng Zukui were both shocked. They were not too surprised that they would return just like Xuanyuan Wentian. But it seemed that the three of them returned together, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
“Got it… Let’s just think of a way to get rid of them first. They probably won’t believe if we tell them that Yun Che is dead. So we can just say that he has left and let them chase him anyway they want.”
Feng Tianwei finished speaking in a distracted manner, then raised his head and looked towards the north… It seemed that Feng Xue’er left towards the north after receiving their voice transmission, still holding Yun Che’s corpse in her arms.
————————
The direction Xuanyuan Wentian was chasing was the north, and the direction Feng Xue'er was leaving was also the north.
The bright red phoenix robe had been stained with blood. The red phoenix flames wrapped around Yun Che's body, tightly sealing off his last breath... and this weak, but stubborn breath of life that had not dissipated, also became the last straw that supported Feng Xue'er's heart and soul. She hugged him tightly, tears in her eyes, but she clenched her jade teeth, not letting the tears fall.
"Brother Yun, don't die... You will be fine... You will definitely be fine..."
"You were taken away by the Primordial Mysterious Ark and yet you came back safely... This time, you will definitely get better..."
She kept whispering and calling out, hoping that Yun Che could hear her voice.
At this moment, anyone only needed to take a look at Yun Che, without even needing to detect his aura, to be completely certain that he was dead. Even if his vitality had not yet completely dissipated and he was still hanging on by a breath, he would surely die in a short time, and there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving.
After leaving Phoenix City and flying away from Divine Phoenix City, Feng Xue'er headed north. In her trance, she didn't know where she should take Yun Che, but she subconsciously kept heading north... because that direction would bring her closer to Blue Wind Country and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
Suddenly, she didn’t know how long she had been flying, and there was a vast expanse of wilderness below her. Although she was born in the Divine Phoenix Country and was the only princess of the Divine Phoenix, she had no idea what was around the Divine Phoenix City, let alone where she and Yun Che were now.
At this moment, a dangerous aura suddenly came from behind, making her whole body shudder. Then, she felt that she was firmly locked by an extremely terrifying aura from a long distance.
"ah……"
Feng Xue'er's mind suddenly cleared up. This aura was not unfamiliar to her. This aura was so powerful and had an endless sharp edge. She had felt it before on the Sea God Platform of the Supreme Sea Palace...
The Lord of Heavenly Might Sword——Xuanyuan Wentian!!
