Chapter 49 49 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road "Phoenix blood. Good stuff, don't...

The first year of the spiritual recovery, May 3, 16:05, "Tianyan" training school.

There were Ning Changkong, Yue Jingting, Bai Xian, two people and one demon... or 1.5 people and 1.5 demons? After reading this material, they were all quite calm, except Yue Jingting, who grew up in an era of declining spiritual energy, who had an angry look on his face.

This view has always existed in the spiritual world, but the decline of spiritual energy has caused practitioners who pursue the path of spiritual practice to lose interest in ruling the world and instead retreat to the demiplane to concentrate on spiritual practice.

Just like the bird tribe avoids eating feathered beasts, but also has the habit of raising poultry and eating eggs. Bird demons raise birds, and horse demons ride horses, but they just don't think that the other party who has no thinking ability is the same species as themselves.

Although mortals can think, their power is ultimately too weak. If the spiritual energy never declines, it is normal for a society to develop into one where practitioners are the ruling class. Ning Changkong has seen this before.

However, the spirit energy eventually declined and revived. Human society, which is used to the value of equality for all, will face pain no matter how it changes.

Perhaps, this is what Li Bo ideally believes human society should be like... no, it should be like.

"We've located it," Chu Qingge said. "The signal that is faintly calling Dijiang Feather comes from underground in the martial arts training ground."

The first year of the Reiki Recovery, May 3rd, 16:07, "Tianyan" training school, martial arts training ground.

Starting from the gate of the martial arts training ground, there were endless defensive formations. Ning Changkong had to use his energy to block the signal of Dijiang Feather, and he and Yue Jingting took turns to break the formation, which made them somewhat exhausted.

The more Yue Jingting understood, the more surprised he became. On the one hand, it was because he recognized the formation arrangement habits of his familiar senior brother. On the other hand, he was far less comfortable than Feng Huang in dealing with these formations and needed Feng Huang to guide him from time to time.

This ingenious and unique idea made him think of another friend on the Tianwang forum whom he had never met before.

Maybe I am overthinking it, or maybe Phoenix has just read a lot of ancient books and has accumulated a lot of knowledge.

He calmed himself down, raised his hand and was about to push open the door to the basement, but was held back by Ning Changkong.

"Be careful, there's an ambush." ​​Ning Changkong reminded him softly, allowing him to carefully sense the layout behind the door. "Long-range spiritual weapons, they really cost a lot of money."

The traces of the spiritual bombardment there have been explained, and coupled with the unusually strict protection... I'm afraid there is a spiritual weapon research base hidden in this school.

Maybe the evil spiritual weapons were also researched here. In this case, did the little fox Su Yunyao just happen to run into someone else's weapon test? Ning Changkong thought with a mixture of laughter and tears. This is really the protagonist group's level of luck.

Let me think about how to break the defense array here... Ning Changkong took a deep breath. He had consumed too much energy and his temples were swollen and painful.

Then, the heavily guarded door opened from the other end.

The feathers in my pocket are hot.

The middle-aged man who looked younger than his actual age said with a smile: "Long time no see, Jingting."

"And... Junior Brother."

What junior brother? Yue Jingting was still stunned by the sudden emotional shock when he heard Ning Changkong shout, "Get out of the way!"

The tip of the black gun pierced the air, making a sharp whooshing sound like a dragon's roar. Bai Xian's hand under his wide sleeves also turned into wings, throwing out feathers like flying blades.

Bai Xian was fine, but Yue Jingting was just a half-baked fighter, how could he fight? Ning Changkong gritted his teeth, and poured all his anger into the gun.

Don't do it when I'm weak! Brush the BOSS in front of me!

He had just bled in the morning, and his vision went dark as soon as he started to fight. The only reason he could still stand steady now was because of the combat experience gained from fighting in the sea of ​​blood as a quick traveler.

Li Bo would not stand there and be stabbed through by him, he moved and retreated far away. Ning Changkong was not a pushover either, he tiptoed and chased after him.

At the moment he flew away, Ning Chang saw with his peripheral vision the radiance of a long-range spiritual weapon being activated.

He quickly retracted his gun, poked the tip of the gun into the ground, and before the torrent of spiritual power poured out, he created a protective shield for his teammates and himself.

It's really hard to predict without the murderous aura. Ning Changkong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. It was still a spiritual cannon mixed with the evil version. If it didn't block it, the combat power would be reduced directly.

Chu Qingge said calmly: "I have already posted an A-level mission on Skynet and sent a message to the Alien Bureau. I expect Chi Zhaoming to arrive within a quarter of an hour. Just hold on."

"If you hold on any longer, Li Bo will strip me naked!" Ning Changkong panted and replied with gritted teeth.

"Junior brother, Jinsong, are you happy using my Dijiang Feather?" Li Bo was leisurely and was still adjusting his cuffs with a smile.

Bai Xian was confused and only focused on checking the condition of the phoenix. Yue Jingting was frantically pulling out talismans and magic weapons from his pocket, his usually steady fingertips trembling slightly.

After figuring out this formation, he had already prepared himself mentally for a swordfight with his senior brother. However, no matter how much he simulated and deduced in his mind, he could not imagine the current situation.

No, we can't let the enemy lead us by the nose! Senior Brother... Li Bo should just be practicing psychological warfare.

But in his heart he couldn't help but piece together clues: the surprise attack on the academy's treasure house on the night of the Lantern Festival had been confirmed to be Li Dong's hand. Although the reason for kidnapping Lin Jinsong and his group has not been found out yet, Li Bo deliberately lured the tiger away from the mountain and must have participated in the kidnapping.

The phoenix just happened to appear after its spiritual energy was revived. What if, what if——

"I don't know what you are talking about." The cold-faced Phoenix seemed not to hear what Li Bo said. He just raised the tip of the gun, and spiritual power flowed through the gun.

Ning Changkong was calculating rapidly in his mind. This guy probably took a fancy to Yue Jingting and Bai Xian, one person and one demon. Yue Jingting had a close relationship with Lin Jinsong, and he was a stubborn person who would not turn back until he hit a wall.

As the ancestor of the demon clan, Bai Xian would not expect a phoenix of human origin. As long as there is a grudge in his heart, the phoenix's activities in the demon clan will inevitably be hindered.

Trying to sow discord in front of him, right? Ning Changkong took a deep breath, ignoring the pain of his overloaded heart, ignoring the warnings from his anemic body, and the overflowing phoenix spiritual power heated up the air until it was distorted.

In the next second, the black gun named "Liuxian" in his hand, with the force of thunder and the blazing phoenix flame, pointed directly at Li Bo's face.

Although this battle was hasty and his physical condition was not good, there was no telling whether there would be better opportunities in the future. It was better to give it a try and try to delay until Chi Zhaoming arrived at the scene, and work together to capture - or strangle - Li Bo!

Ning Changkong's attack was like the waves of the sea, one after another, not giving his opponent any chance to breathe. The Phoenix Fire moved according to his will, sometimes stabbing at people like a sharp sword, and sometimes trapping Li Bo in it like a whirlpool.

Exquisite timing, perfect combination of skills and strength, and the courage to burn life. Even Bai Xian could hardly keep up with his desperate fighting style, and the white-haired bird demon could not help but cast his eyes towards Ning Changkong frequently.

Bai Xian knew that the Phoenix, who was identified by Qing Geng as "weak in vitality", could not sustain the physical strength of close combat. Ning Changkong had read a lot of Yuxiang's books and had asked him for advice on the use of magic. In Bai Xian's opinion, the Phoenix should save its physical strength and slowly use magic and spells to hold the opponent back.

But now Phoenix insisted on attacking fiercely and suppressing him, beating Li Bo so hard that he didn't have time to speak. He even took the recoil and got injured, forcibly interrupting his opponent's several attempts to escape.

I have a feeling that Ning Changkong does have strong personal feelings for this person. Bai Xian narrowed his eyes. Hey, what did this human say just now?

Forget it. Little Phoenix’s face is as white as paper. She will probably get sick again after this fight. It is more important to finish the fight quickly and bring the person back to Yuxiang for recuperation.

The Hundred Birds Tribe still has to rely on the phoenix to maintain its reputation, and the reforms that Ning Changkong wants to implement in the Demon Tribe have just begun, and he can't fail here.

Yue Jingting was a scientific researcher who mainly used throwing talismans and burning money as his fighting method. He was not good at fighting and could not keep up with the rhythm of the Phoenix's fierce attack, but he was not unable to understand the battle situation.

—— Feng Huang was very strong, and Yue Jingting even compared him with Chi Zhaoming in his mind, wondering if Chi Zhaoming could gain the upper hand against him.

The fighting power that Mingqi-kun had shown in front of humans in the past was probably only one-tenth or one-twelfth of his actual fighting power. No matter how amazing and brilliant Lin Jinsong, who was only 17 or 18 years old, was, he could not have such a sophisticated fighting experience in such a short period of time.

Yue Jingting should have breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart couldn't help but feel anxious.

—— If he is really his junior fellow apprentice, how many times must he have rolled in pools of blood and suffered so many injuries to hone such a keen fighting instinct?

Ning Changkong no longer had time to care about the different thoughts of the man and the monster behind him.

One and a half minutes left.

Ning Changkong took deep breaths desperately, trying to suppress the blood and qi surging in his chest. But every expansion of his chest was accompanied by a contraction pain, and his heart was beating at an abnormal rhythm in his chest, and his back was shaking with pain.

Logically, he should be able to hold out for a quarter of an hour, he thought in frustration. However, he was multitasking and was inevitably injured due to negligence. The dizziness caused by blood loss made his poor physical condition worse, and he could hardly hold the gun steadily.

Ning Changkong once again used his phoenix spiritual power to block the evil bombardment, and finally ran out of strength. He knelt on one knee, leaning on the gun with one hand, and blood flowed down the other hand that was covering his mouth.

The whole world seemed to be spinning before my eyes and my weakened legs could no longer support my body.

All the strength he had managed to squeeze out of his sick body was exhausted. If blood were to go into his trachea now, he would not even have the strength to cough.

Alas, we are fighting away from home, and in the base camp of a crazy scientist who likes to arm his base to the teeth. Ning Changkong thought with a smile on his face. The spiritual cannons were fired in turns, and the trap formations were activated one after another. Who could withstand this?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Thirty seconds left, and it will be over soon. As long as Li Bo is willing to say a few more words.

Sure enough, Li Bo squatted in front of him with pity: "Good boy, why do you have to fight so hard?"

"You work for humans, but they blame you for not doing enough. You plan for the demons, but they accuse you of affecting their interests."

Why work hard for those weak little people who will soon be forgotten by history? All of them combined can contribute less to history than you alone.

Every drop of blood that Phoenix shed for those people or monsters was worth Li Bo's sigh - if Lin Jinsong took one more breath in this world, lived five more minutes, he could create much more value than those people or monsters created in their entire lives.

"Come with me, Jinsong." Li Bo coaxed, "You are still young, there is still plenty of time to turn back..."

Ning Changkong's eyes flickered, and he could no longer see his face. But in Li Bo's eyes, his unfocused eyes were still as calm as a well.

"I understand. You are a good kid who knows how to adapt to the situation." Li Bo sighed and stood up, casually activating the backup defense formation to block the attacks of Yue Jingting and Bai Xian. "If I don't create a desperate situation where you are sure to die, you won't be willing to leave with me."

For the sake of honoring his master, he didn't mind spending a little more time and effort to bring Lin Jinsong "back on track."

Suddenly, the intuition that had pulled him back from the brink of death countless times began to alert him frantically - danger was approaching.

Li Bo's face changed, and he changed his mind and was about to activate the recovery formation he had prepared long ago.

...Huh, the explosion didn't start?

His ankle was held by a cold hand.

Ning Changkong raised his head. Fenghuang's hair was already messy, and the strands of hair in front of her forehead were stuck to her face by cold sweat. Her already pale face was now even more bloodless.

The only bright colors were the bright red irises and the startling blood color between the lips and chin.

The corners of his mouth, stained with blood, slowly lifted up, revealing an incongruous smile of joy.

Last time I asked you to blow up the mine in the abandoned mine, and the time before that in Yuqingfang I asked you to destroy the Qianshi Qianxing.

Do you think I'm stupid? Should I let you blow up this place too?

If he hadn't been distracted by trying to break the formation, he wouldn't have been injured like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the wall suddenly cracked under the domineering sword light.

The smoke was dispersed by the remaining sword energy, and Chi Zhaoming calmly walked in along the opened hole.

A sly and joyful smile appeared on his face:

"Hey, Lao Li, long time no see."

The first year of the Reiki Recovery, May 3rd, 17:07, "Tianyan" training school, martial arts training ground.

As a result, the two of them didn't even have time to exchange a few moves before Li Bo ran away, and Chi Zhaoming's sword only managed to chop off one of his self-destructing arms.

Bai Xian anxiously helped Ning Changkong to stand up, while Ning Changkong stared at Chi Zhaoming intently, with a few big words written in his eyes: "You let him go again?"

Chi Zhaoming was checking Yue Jingting's condition. He frowned and shook his head slightly.

Alas, we are fighting on an away field, in the stronghold of a mad scientist who has armed the base to the teeth.

But if it were him, he would not say a word after punching through the wall. His next move would go straight to Li Bo's face, wishing to make full use of the smoke.

Ning Changkong lost too much blood and was completely supported by Bai Xian. He coughed twice, and his front was stained with blood again. He said sparingly, "Malicious propaganda and spiritual weapons. Search carefully."

Bai Xian excused himself with a sour face and wanted to take his little master back to heal his wounds.

Yue Jingting broke away Chi Zhaoming's hand and opened his mouth to call him to stop, but Fenghuang, whose clothes were stained with blood, spoke first and ordered in a hoarse voice:

"On the ground, phoenix blood. Good stuff, don't waste it."

The voice was so weak that it was barely audible, and it was accompanied by some coughing and wheezing. Yue Jingting was speechless for a moment. He stared at the dazzling red blood on the ground and shuddered unconsciously.

The first year of the spiritual energy recovery, May 3, 17:35, Jinwu Garden.

Ning Changkong is in very bad condition.

Objectively speaking, his injuries were not serious. He still had some remaining rationality to analyze. It was just the repeated suppression of his attacking moves, the blockage of his Qi and blood caused by the temporary cut of the protective shield, the internal injuries caused by the energy impact, and the negligible external injuries.

However, Ning Changkong allowed his body to tremble in frustration and his body temperature to continue to rise.

This body is really terrible.

Bai Xian had seen this man bleed out large gulps of blood, but he had never seen him spit out blood in large gulps, then fall into his arms, shivering with a pale face.

He trembled and said, "Let's go back to Linghuang Mansion - go home, okay? Go home and recuperate."

As soon as they arrived at Jinwu Garden, Ning Changkong pulled him and asked him to take him back to his bedroom and not to go back to Penglai.

"No." Ning Changkong squeezed out a few words from his trembling teeth, "I was stabbed yesterday. Now let them know that I was injured like this..."

Feng Huang was completely exhausted before she could finish her words. She coughed up blood quietly and was helped to lie down by Qing Geng who came to treat her.

Damn it, damn it. Bai Xian's eyes were red and his teeth were clenched.

How could he not understand this? But how dare he - how dare he think about his job when he was injured like this?
