Suddenly, the sound of wind behind them was mixed with the cry of a phoenix. Could it be that Feng Su has arrived?
I turned around in surprise, but my heart sank. The phoenix feathers in front of me were vermilion. This was not Feng Su, but Zhu Que.
"Vermilion Bird?" I asked. "Vermilion Bird, I really didn't kill the White Tiger. I came here to give you the pearl that Jin Yu gave me."
The Vermilion Bird ignored me and charged straight at me, so I quickly dodged.
The Vermilion Bird cried out and opened its mouth to breathe fire at me.
Unable to dodge in time, I could only use my magic power to create a barrier. Sure enough, as soon as I activated my magic power, the magic power in my body was consumed at twice the speed.
I coldly stared at the Vermilion Bird before me. Strictly speaking, he was not the Vermilion Bird, but merely a puppet.
This time we need to act quickly; the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for me.
I placed the Phoenix Flute to my lips, preparing to kill my opponent in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird opposite me is not the real Vermilion Bird, but just a mindless puppet, and its strength is less than one-tenth of the real Vermilion Bird's. If the real Vermilion Bird had come, I probably would never have seen You again today.
I channeled all the magic power in my dantian and played the Phoenix Flute. With the chilling music, the notes in the sky transformed into sharp blades that shot straight toward the puppet Vermilion Bird.
This puppet is really low-level; it doesn't even know how to dodge.
With a "bang," the puppet Vermilion Bird fell to the ground and then disappeared.
I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to rest and recover my lost magic power when the Vermilion Bird's phoenix cry rang out again.
No way? I turned around and saw the Vermilion Bird, exactly the same as before, flapping its wings and flying towards me, even following the exact same route.
I narrowed my eyes. This time, I didn't act rashly. Who knows if there will be another one after killing this one?
However, hiding all the time isn't a solution.
The puppet Suzaku wasn't very powerful; it just kept mechanically attacking me.
As I kept dodging, I pondered a strategy. I was certain that if I killed this Vermilion Bird, another one would appear before me. They were going to wear me down to death here!
I'm getting annoyed by dodging. That damn puppet keeps targeting me with its skills. Oh well, whatever, I'll just kill it first.
"Bang." The puppet fell to the ground and dissipated in the exact same way as before.
As expected, the third phoenix cry arrived as promised. Ever since I killed the second Vermilion Bird, I felt as if I was being controlled by something. I knew in my heart that I should not attack anymore, but I still kept launching attacks.
Alone in the dark space, I kept playing the Phoenix Flute. I don't know how many puppets I killed. I only had one belief in my mind: to wipe out these annoying puppets.
"Huff." I gasped for breath, using my flute to support my exhausted body. Sweat dripped from my forehead onto the ground, and then another phoenix cry rang out.
For some reason, I heard the phoenix's cry and found it increasingly difficult to control the violent energy within me. My magical power was almost completely depleted, and if this continued, I was afraid I wouldn't even be able to keep dodging.
Damn it, how am I supposed to break this formation? I regret not having read more books on formations beforehand, otherwise I would be completely clueless and just blindly rush in.
The puppet Vermilion Bird didn't consider my condition. As if it had been programmed beforehand, it still pounced on me and launched an attack. I barely dodged, and the speed at which my mana was draining away increased. Due to the prolonged fighting, I even became somewhat exhausted, and my vision blurred.
