"I didn't expect that the mighty Fire Phoenix would have a weakness. Then we will become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks." After saying that, Xuanwu's scarlet eyes shot out two rays, ready to kill them completely.
At this moment, the sound of a conch came from not far away, and the turbulent sea water returned to calm at this moment, and everything seemed to have returned to a few minutes ago.
The red rays also disappeared at this moment.
"Xuanwu, why do you have to do this?"
When the evil Xuanwu heard the sound, he looked and saw an old lady with white hair and blue eyes and a human body with a red fish tail floating on the sea, followed by hundreds of mermaids holding conch shells.
"Old witch, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you insist on interfering, I, Xuanwu, am not afraid of your Mermaid Island."
"Really? When you were at your peak, my mermaids weren't afraid of you. Furthermore, you're now gravely wounded and suffering from the burning of the phoenix flames. Are you sure you want to fight us?"
He looked at Yan An, who was pulled back to the beach by Lu Jingzhi and wrapped in a thin blanket.
"Hmph, whatever. She won't survive anyway."
At this time, his body was indeed seriously injured, especially the phoenix flame, which was destroying his body. If he fought with the mermaids again, he might lose his life.
After saying this, its huge body sank into the sea and returned to its nest deep under the sea.
On the island, Lu Jingzhi hugged Yan An tightly in his arms, his eyes were red, and he looked dazed, as if his soul had been taken away.
The mermaid leader came over with his people, "Child."
“…”
Lu Jingzhi came back to his senses and looked at the leader of the mermaid tribe. He then gently placed Yan An on the beach, stood up, and was about to kneel down and beg when the mermaid leader quickly supported him.
He choked up and said, "Please, save my master."
"Well, don't worry, her mother is kind to us mermaids. We will do everything in our power to save her."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi grabbed a life-saving straw and wiped the water stains on his face, "Look at her."
She came to Yan An's side, stretched out her right hand and scanned her body. Her face darkened, and then a ball of white light was released from her hand, covering Yan An.
"I... Will my master get better?"
"Alas, with my abilities, I can only suppress the Teng Snake's poison. Furthermore, the demonic energy in my body is wreaking havoc on my internal organs. If the poison continues to take effect, I won't live long."
Hearing her words, Lu Jingzhi froze in place, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
"However, I have another way to save her."
"What method?" Lu Jingzhi excitedly grabbed her old hand.
"It can be revived using the Wood Color Lotus. This is the healing lotus between heaven and earth, with the power to bring the dead back to life." He paused and shook his head, "But without the mental method, it cannot be absorbed."
"I have! I have!"
The mermaid leader opened his cloudy eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "You really have it?!"
Lu Jingzhi nodded quickly and replied, "Really." After that, he activated the elemental mental method in his body, and a ball of colorful light appeared in his abdomen.
"So what the mysterious man said was true. The destined person has really come." The mermaid leader murmured softly, then looked at Lu Jingzhi, "Okay, Mu Zhi Cai Lian is on our Mermaid Island. We will take you there."
"Thank you, junior."
She shook her head and said, "In one year, please bring our princess back."
Lu Jingzhi scratched his head in confusion, "But I don't know the mermaid princess? And this is my first time in Xuanhai."
"Well, I believe you, and I believe him."
"He is?"
The mermaid leader changed the subject and said, "Bring her here quickly, there's no time to lose."
Lu Jingzhi hurriedly bent down and picked up Yan An, who was barely breathing. Then, a blonde mermaid girl behind him shot out a colorful bubble from the conch, covering the two of them.
"Kids, go back."
"Yes, Grandma."
Lu Jingzhi sat in the colorful bubble and followed the mermaid to fly towards Mermaid Island.
He hugged Yan An tightly, stroking her pretty face with his right hand as if she were a priceless treasure. He took off his healing ring and put it on Yan An's index finger. The ring lit up and slowly healed Yan An's wound.
"Master, I will be able to save you soon."
The scene where Yan An used his body to block Xuanwu's attack was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Then, he turned his head and looked back, his dark, deep eyes gleaming with coldness and murderous intent. "Just wait, Xuanwu, I'll settle the score with you."
Half an hour later...
Lu Jingzhi saw a rainbow appear not far away. Then, he and the mermaids crossed the rainbow. The originally endless ocean changed in the blink of an eye.
A small round island appeared in front of me, and there were four small islands of different shapes around the round island.
Flying further forward, there is a hundred-meter-high statue standing in the middle of the round island. The statue is a beautiful mermaid with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, looking down at the people on the island. Above the statue is another rainbow.
“This…what is this?”
This fairyland-like archipelago shocked him again, and he also deeply realized how correct Yan An's words were.
"Welcome to Mermaid Island." The mermaid chief on the side said, looking at his stunned expression.
"Grandma Mermaid, is this true?"
"Of course, when we get ashore, come with me."
"I understand, Grandma Mermaid."
At this time, several male mermaids with gray-black tails floated out of the water, with long swords on their waists and vigilant expressions on their faces.
