Chapter 19 The Golden Crow Encounters Danger
He subtly signaled to Xihe to find an opportunity to slip away. Originally, the other party was just two Great Luo Golden Immortals, but now, an unfathomable Phoenix Clan member has arrived, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Xihe shook her head slightly, gripped the Sun and Moon Divine Sword tightly, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Dijun, making it clear that they were willing to live and die together.
Feng Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Feng Huang, this golden crow was born as a bird, yet it refused to join the Phoenix Clan. This is unforgivable."
"We were just worried that we couldn't take him down. Your arrival is perfect. Help me capture him. If he can change his mind and agree to join my clan, our clan's strength will surely increase greatly." Feng Yao was inclined to recruit him. The struggle between the three clans was at its most intense. A flying bird of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was like a godsend.
“Why go through all this trouble?” A smile appeared on Luo Hou’s gloomy face. “Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish. Feng Yao, do not be soft-hearted. How do you know that he is not just feigning submission?”
“This…” Feng Yao hesitated, “But our clan is going through a turbulent time. A Grand Luo Golden Immortal can greatly increase our chances of winning.”
Great Luo Golden Immortals are still a rare commodity; even the Phoenix Clan only has a dozen or so.
“Feng Huang…” Feng Yan scratched his head in confusion. When did Feng Huang become so smart?
"What if he backs down in the face of battle?" Luo Hou retorted. "What if he leaks secrets? He can't possibly be loyal to the Phoenix Clan. To prevent him from aiding the enemy, kill him."
As soon as the word 'kill' was uttered, wisps of demonic energy coiled around Feng Yao's brows, and the hesitation in Feng Yao's eyes dissipated, replaced by killing intent. "It is only right."
Feng Yan was originally a killer, so he was even less likely to show mercy. He immediately unleashed a burst of Phoenix True Fire, saying, "Let me see whether the Sun True Fire or the Phoenix True Fire is more powerful."
Di Jun shielded Xi He behind him, a bitter taste in his mouth. He feared he would die today.
The true fire of the sun and the true fire of the phoenix collided, and everything around them quickly turned to ashes under the high temperature, while the few people in the center remained unmoved.
Luo Hou raised the disguised God-Slaying Spear and pushed aside the True Fire of the Sun. "Tsk, compared to that bastard Chaos, it's much weaker. Counterfeits don't need to exist."
Upon seeing the God-Slaying Spear, Di Jun's expression changed drastically; this Phoenix Clan member's strength was unfathomable.
Even with the River Chart and Luo Book combined, the defense is as fragile as a bubble before the God-Slaying Spear, easily pierced.
Just before Di Jun was about to be stabbed in the head, the sound of a bell grew louder as it approached. A bell with a powerful aura swiftly smashed through the God-Slaying Spear, and Taiyi appeared, his face ashen.
Luo Hou frowned. This was Pangu's annoying axe transformed into something troublesome.
"Anyone who dares to bully my brothers will have to get past me first." Taiyi looked around, glancing at Feng Yao and Feng Yan. When he saw Luo Hou, his golden pupils shrank almost imperceptibly, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Taiyi, run!" Dijun was extremely anxious. "Don't worry about me, go back to the Sun Star." His voice transmissions grew more urgent with each call.
Taiyi smiled bitterly. Leave? How could that be?
With the help of the Chaos Bell, Taiyi discovered that they were surrounded by a barrier. He held the Chaos Bell but could not break through the invisible yet ever-present barrier.
If Taiyi were to break through to the Quasi-Saint level at this moment, he would know that this is a domain belonging to the Quasi-Saint level, which can also be considered an application of a law. Being in this domain is equivalent to being in Rahu's world. Unless he breaks out of the domain, Rahu is invincible here.
"Another one," Luo Hou thought to himself, showing no awareness of bullying the weak. He raised his God-Slaying Spear and said he'd deal with Hongjun later. He'd kill two birds first to vent his anger.
The God-Slaying Spear and the Eastern Emperor Bell collided violently, and the Eastern Emperor Bell was knocked away. Just as the God-Slaying Spear was about to pierce Taiyi's vital point, Dijun's River Map and Luo Book blocked it in time. Xihe faced Fengyao and Fengyan, and took the opportunity to use the Sun and Moon Divine Sword to deflect the spearhead of the God-Slaying Spear. However, she did not stop the spearhead from climbing up the Sun and Moon Divine Sword and striking the soul directly.
"Pfft..." Xihe spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which dripped straight down.
Di Jun quickly reached out and grabbed her, using the Hetu Luoshu to repel Feng Yao and Feng Yan, while also protecting the two of them.
This can't go on. Di Jun frowned, racking his brains for a way to break the deadlock.
Taiyi swallowed the metallic taste in his throat and promptly recalled the Eastern Emperor Bell. His back was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat. When did such a figure appear in the primordial world?
In just a few rounds, Di Jun and Tai Yi were completely suppressed, not to mention Xi He was seriously injured, and Feng Yao and Feng Yan were pressing forward step by step.
Could it be that Heaven is going to kill his brother? Di Jun was in despair. The dragon, phoenix, and qilin were truly blessed by Heaven. How could they possibly compete?
It was at this moment that Yuanshi appeared on the battlefield.
“Di Jun, Tai Yi…” Yuan Shi paused in the distance, pondering in secret. This scene seemed unusual.
Di Jun's eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi?!"
Di Jun's mind raced, and an unkind thought uncontrollably popped into his head: "Better to die for my fellow Daoist than for me. Sorry, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi."
"Taiyi, lend me the Chaos Bell. I will use the Hetu and Luoshu as an array and the Chaos Bell as a blade to break the barrier. Once the barrier is open, you take Xihe and flee back to the Sun Star first. I will cover the rear and arrive in a short while." As Dijun spoke, the Hetu and Luoshu unfolded, and a simple Zhou Tian Star Array was set up with the help of two array eyes.
Taiyi had no doubts. He was well aware of the power of Dijun's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array. With the power of the Chaos Bell, he could completely break through the barrier enveloping them. Xihe was seriously injured, so he would take her back first and then come to meet his elder brother.
With the power of the Chaos Bell, Di Jun managed to tear open a gap, and Tai Yi used a light escape technique to take Xi He away.
Before Yuanshi could grasp the gravity of the situation, Dijun said knowingly, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, run!"
Whether he can escape or not, with Di Jun's words, Yuan Shi Daoist will inevitably be implicated. Only with Yuan Shi's combat power joining in will the brothers have a glimmer of hope.
Yuanshi glared angrily. This fellow was truly wicked. He had caused trouble himself, yet he wanted to drag him into it.
Contrary to his promise to Taiyi, Dijun quickly followed Taiyi, intending to slip away. He showed no remorse for dragging others down with him. "Better to die for my friend than for myself"—Dijun had already turned dark when many beings in the primordial world were still innocent.
Luo Hou gritted his teeth. Trying to run? Not so easy. The small tear immediately healed itself, and Di Jun crashed straight into the transparent barrier.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Di Jun had no choice but to reluctantly summon the Chaos Bell and fight the enemy head-on. Unfortunately, although the Chaos Bell was powerful, it didn't recognize him, causing him to stumble and fall, making him even less effective than his Hetu Luoshu in fighting the enemy.
Luo Hou glanced at Yuan Shi with a sinister look. Tsk, that guy Pan Gu is only one-third of the true spirit. He's not as rough and wild as Pan Gu. Good thing. It's just the right time to avenge the chaos.
“This golden crow is yours,” Luo Hou said, stabbing Di Jun through with his spear and kicking him toward Feng Yao and Feng Yan. “I’ll deal with this uninvited guest first.”
Rahu glanced maliciously at the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda above Yuanshi's head. It was a pity that the merits were useless to him, otherwise, they would be a great tonic.
Summoning the Black Lotus makes the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda invincible, but that depends on who wields it.
The black lotus flew to the top of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, grew larger, and suddenly pressed down, intending to violently break it.
Yuanshi's expression hardened, as if he were facing an abyss. It was actually the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus. The sense of crisis was like a persistent crutch. The auspicious clouds of the heavens protected him, adding a layer of defense for him. The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi met the descending black lotus head-on.
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was instantly pressed into the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Yuanshi's face paled, but thanks to the two layers of defense, he was not injured.
Realizing he was no match for the mysterious man, Yuanshi immediately sent a message to Laozi Tongtian. Then, he countered each move as it came, dodging whenever possible. For a while, Luohou was helpless against the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. Once the three brothers gathered together, no one in the prehistoric world could rival them.
On the contrary, Di Jun's face was ashen, and drops of golden blood soaked his clothes. Feng Yao and Feng Yan joined forces to summon the Phoenix True Fire, intending to kill the three-legged golden crow who played with fire under the Phoenix True Fire, so that the Phoenix True Fire would become awe-inspiring throughout the prehistoric world.
Di Jun smiled bitterly, focusing all his efforts on resisting the Phoenix True Fire. If he hadn't been injured, he naturally wouldn't have been afraid of the Phoenix True Fire, but at this moment...
Di Jun was unable to resist and gradually transformed into his true form. He could only hope that Tai Yi wouldn't foolishly rush back.
