Chapter 281 God descends from the sky!
However, just as he was about to reach the fluorescent river, the sky suddenly darkened.
Tens of thousands of bird warriors swooped down from the clouds, their sharp beaks and claws shining coldly in the sunlight, instantly blocking the entire sky.
“Get out of here!” Long Dian roared, and his dragon might swept out like a tsunami.
He had no time to slow down. The spiritual power in his body transformed into countless sharp air blades, and blood and flesh flew wherever they passed.
The birds that blocked the way didn't even have time to scream before they were turned into bloody mist in the violent storm of spiritual power.
A strong smell of blood filled the air, and Long Dian's dragon scales were stained with the blood of his enemies.
But he didn't bother to wipe it, all he could see was the fluorescent river getting closer and closer.
Every second of delay could put Little Phoenix in an irretrievable situation.
"Wait for me..." He muttered to himself, accelerated again, leaving a bloody trail behind him.
…………
Fluorescent River.
The dark blue fluorescent seaweed swayed with the waves, like flames burning underwater, dyeing the entire river into a dreamy glass color.
Schools of glowing fish swim among them, their scales reflecting neon-like halos that sometimes gather into brilliant star clusters and sometimes scatter into scattered diamonds.
Ji Le stepped in barefoot, and amid the rippling water, fluorescent light bloomed at their feet, as if the moon in the river was crushed to pieces.
"I caught another one!" Ji Le held up the glowing fish in his hand and showed it to Little Phoenix.
Little Phoenix spent the whole morning fishing but didn’t catch a single glowing fish!
I watched Ji Le catch one fish after another with great envy.
She just couldn't believe it. If the little fat chicken that couldn't fly high could be caught, why couldn't she?
The little phoenix was barefoot, staring intently at the water, with its little hands raised, ready to scoop up the swimming spots of light at any time.
Longze stood on the shore, watching the scene quietly.
The two children's playful laughter sounded particularly clear in the dark blue river, but his brows remained furrowed.
Father Long cast a spell on the little phoenix to make himself invisible, so if there is any danger, he will be there in an instant.
But even so, he was still uneasy.
This uneasiness was not groundless, but stemmed from a vigilance deep in his blood—and a warning from the Godhead of Heaven.
The dragon race has always been keenly aware of crisis, and at this moment, his heart was beating at an unusual frequency, like some kind of omen, or like a warning from the unknown.
Get out of here.
The thought grew stronger in his mind, but he hesitated again.
If I take the little phoenix away now, will it disrupt Daddy Long’s plan?
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was determination in his eyes.
"Feng Qing, it's time for us to go home." His voice was soft, but it could not be refused.
Little Phoenix was bending over and staring at a fluorescent fish swimming by. Hearing this, he raised his head, his face full of reluctance: "But, I haven't caught any fish yet."
Long Ze said nothing more and stepped straight into the water.
The cold river water soaked his ankles, but he was unaware. He just reached out and grasped Little Phoenix's wrist, gently lifting her out of the water.
"Come back tomorrow," he whispered, his tone leaving no room for argument.
The little phoenix pouted, but finally didn't insist.
She looked down at her empty net bag, then looked at the school of fluorescent fish moving further and further away on the river, and finally followed Longze ashore obediently.
At this moment, the dark blue fluorescent river suddenly dimmed.
Above the sky, the clouds suddenly retreated like a tide, and a brilliant divine light broke through the air, enveloping the entire river bank in a holy and oppressive glow.
The air seemed to freeze, even the flowing river water stopped at this moment. The glowing fish at the bottom of the river fled in panic, leaving messy streams of light in the dark water.
A figure slowly descended from the beam of light.
Her snow-white robe was spotless, her silver hair like flowing clouds fluttered in the wind. She lightly tapped the water with her toes, and the ripples that spread out condensed into ice crystals.
That face - so perfect that it was almost unreal, exactly the same as the mother in Little Phoenix's memory.
"Mother?" Little Phoenix opened his eyes wide and took a step forward unconsciously.
Long Ze's pupils suddenly shrank, and he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back: "She is not my mother!"
"But obviously..." The little phoenix looked up in confusion.
Every detail of that face was exactly the same; it was my mother.
But when she tried to find the familiar tenderness in the other's eyes, she only saw two cold silver moons.
He slowly raised his hand, his wide gilded sleeves falling like a waterfall: "Come."
The voice was ethereal and melodious. Even though the person was right in front of him, it seemed to come from the distant sky.
An invisible force instantly grabbed the little phoenix.
There was nothing between Longze's fingers, and his sister's hand slipped away like quicksand.
He pounced forward, but grabbed nothing - in the shadow that his fingertips penetrated, a few phoenix feathers that were scorched by divine power fell.
"Brother!" The little phoenix's frightened cry came to an abrupt end.
His slender fingers were already pressing on her forehead, and a dazzling golden divine pattern appeared between them.
The severe pain came unexpectedly.
It felt as if millions of ice spikes were piercing into my bone marrow at the same time, and as if I was being torn in half alive.
The little phoenix's whole body was convulsing, and the light and shadow behind it were distorted into the shape of a pair of broken wings.
She saw her tears floating in the air, each drop reflecting the peeling fragments of her godhood.
“Ah…!” The shrill scream shattered the thin ice on the river surface, “Brother, save me!”
Long Ze's eyes were bloodshot, dragon scales were surging wildly under his skin, his pupils suddenly shrank into a thin line, and golden dragon patterns spread from his neck to his cheeks.
With a crisp sound like bones breaking, his figure twisted and expanded in the dazzling golden light—"Roar!"
The deafening roar of a dragon resounded through the sky, and a divine dragon covered in gold emerged from the air, its scales glowing with an ancient and majestic luster.
He rushed towards the goddess with overwhelming rage, his dragon claws tearing through the air with a sharp explosion.
"Ants."
He flicked his wide sleeves lightly, and the seemingly casual movement stirred up a terrifying wave of air.
Longze was struck by lightning, and its hundred-meter-long body slammed heavily into the river bank. The fluorescent algae burst into sparks in the sky under the impact.
The riverbed cracked into hideous gullies, and the river water mixed with dragon blood instantly dyed half of the river red.
"Keep your life and come fight again when you grow up." The goddess' voice was like an icicle piercing into the bone marrow.
The cries of the little phoenix have become weaker.
Long Ze saw her floating in the air through the blood mist, and her originally bright eyes were gradually losing their luster.
The man was continuing to slowly pull out the brilliant fragments of the Godhead.
"Let go of my sister!"
The blood-stained dragon claws pierced deeply into the ground, and Longze stood up again in human form.
Under his torn clothes, his skin burned by divine power was peeling off, but he seemed unaware.
Every step left a bloody footprint on the scorched earth, and the meridians that were drained of spiritual energy let out a wail as they could not bear the heavy burden.
The godlike woman finally cast a glance at him, her silver eyes reflecting the shaky figure: "Although you have the qualifications to be the successor of the Heavenly Dao, you do not have the corresponding strength."
The jade finger lightly raised, and the invisible pressure crushed Long Ze's knees into the ground, "Killing you is just a snap of the fingers."
The sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard, but the child's bloody fingers continued to climb forward.
He stared at the gradually transparent figure of the little phoenix, and the instructions of Father Long before he left flashed through his mind: "If anything happens, remember to take good care of it..."
Why hasn't Dad come yet?
