"Li Muge, you want to commit patricide; you have no regard for human ethics." The Phoenix King's expression darkened.
"Hehehe, Phoenix King, I'm saying, does your Su family have this kind of double standard inherited?"
“When you kill me, say it's for the greater good.”
"For me to lay a hand on you is to disregard all human ethics." Li Muge harbored murderous intent towards Feng Wang, the father she had once respected.
Rather, she knew clearly that even if she didn't kill the Phoenix King, this so-called father wouldn't let her go.
Phoenix King channeled his inner strength, intending to fight Li Muge to the death.
"Li Muge, today I will rid the Three Realms of you, this scourge who indiscriminately kills innocent people."
"Try it if you dare." Li Muge, still seething with resentment, charged directly at Feng Wang.
Since the Phoenix King was determined to eliminate Li Muge for Su Qing, he used all his strength to burn the beast core within his body.
Ten thousand years of cultivation condensed into a single moment.
This reckless fighting style caught Li Muge off guard, forcing him to slide down several steps.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Guardian, are you alright?"
Snake Maiden stepped forward, wanting to help him up, but Li Muge raised his hand to stop her.
Shedding his usual aloofness, Li Muge's eyes now held a hint of sadness.
Her pupils gradually turned red, and she gripped the Phoenix Cry Sword tightly in her hand: "The Phoenix King is truly righteous. He is willing to risk his life to kill me, the Protector."
"Since that's the case, I, the protector, will grant your wish." Li Muge's pupils turned completely red.
Sensing its master's anger, the Phoenix Cry Sword raised its blade. Li Mu raised his hand, adding resentment to the sword.
They started fighting Ho-Oh in mid-air.
The Phoenix Clan members were deeply moved by the Phoenix King's selfless act of righteousness.
They had no doubt that no matter how gifted Li Muge was, it didn't matter.
With only a thousand years of cultivation and afflicted by the Heart Gu, how could she possibly be a match for the Phoenix King, whose cultivation spanned fifty thousand years and was now reduced to a single day?
Even if a celestial ruler from the Immortal Realm were to come, he might not be a match for the Phoenix King.
Phoenix King condensed 50,000 years of cultivation into a single day, and naturally no longer had any intention of living.
A tornado swept around them, obscuring the view of those inside.
Looking at Li Muge's youthful face, the Phoenix King suddenly remembered how cute and innocent Li Muge was when she was a child, calling him "Father" repeatedly.
His heart softened: "Mu Ge, don't make the same mistake again. As long as you're willing to turn back, I'm willing to give you a chance to change."
Li Muge's eyes were red: "Phoenix King, how do you want this protector to repent? Is it to eke out a living and be humiliated?"
“If that’s the case, I would rather live only one more day. Besides, it’s never been me who’s not letting you go, it’s you who are.”
"It is you who are forcing me, forcing me to put the Three Realms in danger."
"Sigh." The Phoenix King sighed. He had once doted on his daughter, Li Muge.
But it was only after Su Qing arrived that he gradually learned about Li Muge's true colors.
She was extremely jealous; in order to win favor, she was even capable of harming her own closest relatives.
Although Su Qing is not her biological sister.
But after all, she is their biological daughter. Even if Li Muge is grateful for their kindness in raising her, she shouldn't treat her like this.
"Since that's the case, Mu Ge, don't blame your father for being heartless." The Phoenix King channeled his magical power, using his own flesh and blood as a bond.
Several Buddhist scripture characters appeared around Li Muge, indicating that the Phoenix King had once cultivated under the Buddha Shakyamuni for a hundred years.
He comprehended many Buddhist teachings.
The Phoenix Clan members knelt on the ground, tears welling in their eyes, almost ready to say, "Respectfully welcoming the Phoenix King to his final resting place."
Li Muge's magical power was cultivated from resentment. Although she obtained the inner core of the nine-tailed fox, it would still take her several hundred years to cultivate and replace it.
The Buddhist teachings burned Li Muge's skin, leaving faint red marks on her arms.
"Dharma protector."
Upon seeing this, Niu Zhan and She Gu simultaneously cast spells, reaching the halo in the sky.
But it was quickly bounced off.
"Why..." Li Muge endured the pain, gripping the Phoenix Cry Sword, blood tears streaming from her left eye.
"Phoenix King, if you kill me, you can forget about making history."
Li Muge closed his eyes, mobilized the meridians in his body, raised his hand, and countless resentful energies resisted the Buddhist formation.
In a daze, Li Muge suddenly saw Master Qingming.
Dressed in white, he stood in the sunlight, and perhaps sensing her gaze, he smiled slightly at her.
"Master." Li Muge was unwilling. In this second life, why did she still end up like this?
They kept pressuring her, forcing her to sever all ties with love and affection, and to extinguish the only remaining kindness in her heart.
"No, I won't lose." Li Muge gripped the Phoenix Cry Sword with both hands, letting the sword feel her blood.
In adversity, Li Muge understood that she could only rely on herself.
With all her might, she shouted and cleaved through the Buddhist formation.
Phoenix King also suffered a backlash, falling from mid-air to the ground.
Resentment corrupted Li Muge's mind, and she raised her sword, preparing to stab the Phoenix King.
"No." Su Xun suddenly appeared and stood in front of the Phoenix King.
Li Muge's pupils constricted, and he forcibly withdrew his magic power, but he was rebounded and fell directly to the ground.
His hair had come undone, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Third Brother, why are you still helping him now? Why? Get out of my way, I'm going to kill him."
"Get out of my way." Li Muge's eyes were bloodshot. "Since this old bastard wants to die, I'll grant him his wish."
"My parents were reduced to ashes while protecting their beloved daughter, and they didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated."
"But the Su family, standing on their moral high ground, actually dared to criticize me. What did I do wrong? I have parents of my own. Did I beg them to support me?"
"If I had to choose, I would rather not be some damn princess of the Phoenix Clan, but just a peasant girl."
Li Muge stood up, pointing his sword at Su Xun's neck: "Third Brother, get out of the way, or don't blame me for killing you too."
But Su Xun seemed determined: "Mu Ge, don't be impulsive. Even if the Phoenix King is going to die, he shouldn't die at your hands."
"Su Xun, get away from me." Li Muge truly harbored the intention to kill the Phoenix King; she hated him intensely.
Why do they insist on making her suffer?
Su Xun's eyes were firm: "Mu Ge, the Phoenix King has already suffered a loss of vitality because of this matter, and his life is in danger."
"Don't do anything more. Besides, he raised my third brother. Mu Ge, I can't watch you kill our father. If you want to kill our father, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
"Fine, Su Xun, if you insist on opposing this protector today, then from today onwards, you are no longer my third brother."
Li Muge cut off his robe and threw it in front of Su Xun.
“From today onwards, we sever all ties. Don’t let me see you again.”
"Alright." Su Xun picked up the torn robe that Li Muge had thrown in front of him and left with the Phoenix King.
Snake Maiden rushed forward: "Guardian, are you alright?"
Li Muge was suffering from the backlash of magic power and was already teetering on the brink of collapse, barely holding on by her last breath.
But she knew she couldn't fall; countless demonic cultivators in this extremely evil city were eyeing her covetously.
They were just waiting for her to reveal a weakness, then they pounced on her and devoured her alive.
