Looking at the silent spiritual lake in front of him, even the War Horse King himself realized that the things wrapped inside were not that simple, and he carefully observed the changes in it.

The soul flame was suppressed by its huge mental power and turned into a small flame, and the phantom figure of the fire phoenix was compressed into it.

The interior of the lake transformed into chains. At first, the small flame couldn't even break free from the first spiritual chain. It just kept colliding and rubbing.

But no matter how hard the War Horse King pressed on, he could not completely extinguish this small flame.

It originally thought it was just a matter of time, but just a second ago, the flame gathered its strength and began to counterattack. The War Horse King then discovered the abnormality. He never expected that it was actually draining his mental power without his knowledge.

The little girl's mental attack was actually draining her own mental strength to fight against the pressure it released!

No wonder it hasn't gone out yet, but by the time the War Horse King discovered all this, it was already too late.

The flame had begun to break through the defense it had set up. The situation that it could be restrained by just a chain was actually a false impression of weakness. No matter how much mental power the War Horse King continued to add to it, he was no longer able to stop the impact of the flame.

Every time the shackles were applied, they were shattered by the flames, and then the free mental power was absorbed to strengthen the body.

The War Horse King stared at the spiritual lake in front of him with a serious look. He found that ordinary spiritual chains were no longer able to restrain the growth of the flame, so he condensed all the remaining spiritual chains on the periphery into a giant chain that was ten times thicker than the original one, and forcibly bound the giant flame.

But the War Horse King discovered that this was only a stopgap measure. He was horrified to find that the flame was no longer concealed at all. It was like a full-grown glutton that began to devour its power blatantly.

It's just that the last line of defense it set up was too strong, which prevented the flame from breaking out all at once.

What kind of fire is this? What kind of mental attack is this? It has been away from its owner for such a long time and it has no follow-up energy but is plundering itself. It is really terrifying.

The War Horse King also realized the situation

The seriousness of the situation has been revealed. Now the flame has already taken shape as the Fire Phoenix and is about to transform again. This can be considered a kind of nirvana. The power of the Phoenix will become even greater.

Seeing that the War Horse King was still controlling his spiritual lake and Yuan Rui's soul flame in a stalemate, the Obsidian Worm tried its best to maintain the giant wind blade behind it that had condensed into several times its body size.

It did not allow the wind blade to continue expanding, because if it continued like this it would no longer be able to control it.

The Obsidian Worm was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the War Horse King to reveal a flaw, and it felt that it would be soon.

The War Horse King was also hesitating. It now only had one option left, but it would also cause great damage to it.

However, a loud phoenix cry from the spiritual lake was transmitted to the outside world through the already thin defense. The giant shackles set by the War Horse King had been thinned and cracks appeared on it.

It was this cry of the phoenix that made the king of war horses completely determined. He raised his horse's head and neighed with a hint of decisiveness.

It cannot wait for the fire phoenix to grow large enough to jump out of its spiritual lake, as it will suffer even more serious damage by then.

The War Horse King was a little annoyed. He originally just wanted to stretch his muscles and play with Zhang Mu's friends, but he didn't expect that this seemingly weak little girl actually had such a terrifying power hidden in her body. Now he had no choice but to take that step.

We can't delay any longer!

After a horse neigh, the entire spiritual lake in front of the War Horse King was completely shattered under its intentional control!

It is impossible to take back the shattered body, because only in this way can the source of power of the soul flame, that is, its own mental power, be completely cut off.

Sure enough, as the spiritual lake that the War Horse King had voluntarily abandoned collapsed, the voice of the Fire Phoenix that was about to take shape inside began to become urgent, trying to break free from the shackles of the giant chain.

But how could the King of War Horses, having paid such a huge price, let it succeed? He completely cut off its supply before the Fire Phoenix took shape.

The Fire Phoenix let out a wail, and along with the War Horse King's spiritual lake, it shattered into countless free spiritual forces that fell into the air and slowly dissipated.

Zhang Mu could clearly see that the king of war horses was originally pure.

At this moment, Bai's wings suddenly dimmed, and he looked a little listless, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

Because the War Horse King's spiritual lake is different from Yuan Rui's soul flame, this ability is connected to its own brain area, otherwise it cannot be controlled later. So when all the mental power it released was shattered by its own hands, it was directly backfired and severely damaged its brain area.

After Yuan Rui's soul flame was released, it had no connection with her anymore, so apart from the weakness at the beginning of the release, even if the flame was shattered, there would be no subsequent harm to her.

Although this competition on the spiritual power level seemed to be a lose-lose situation for both sides, in fact, Yuan Rui was the winner!

"I let you play, and something went wrong."

Zhang Mu had just regained the right to use his face. Seeing that the arrogant King of War Horses could actually be in such an embarrassing situation, he just laughed out loud at him.

The Warhorse King replied with a somewhat unsteady voice, "I have never met such a strong human. He is much stronger than you."

The backlash of mental power was still continuing, and the King of War Horses was suddenly unable to support his own weight. His front hooves bent, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

The Obsidian Worm, which had been waiting for a long time, was waiting for this opportunity. The moment the War Horse King revealed a flaw, it mobilized all its remaining strength and threw out air blades that were enough to cover the entire open space, finally feeling relieved.

Zhang Mu just discovered this air blade. He had been paying attention to the duel in the spiritual lake before. He didn't expect that the obsidian worm had condensed the air blade of similar size to itself into this shape.

Zhang Mu glanced at the somewhat weak War Horse King and shouted angrily in the mind link, "Don't throw it at me, it's not really going to attack."

Because the War Horse King's spiritual lake completely dissipated, Zhang Mu's message finally reached the Obsidian Worm this time.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, take it back quickly. My body can't move yet. You're going to kill someone."

The obsidian worm's voice sounded hesitantly in Zhang Mu's heart, but the response Zhang Mu received made him even more desperate.

"This air blade is too big, I can't seem to control it..."
