As soon as Dali finished speaking, a crimson dragon and a blue phoenix suddenly appeared in the sky.
A long dragon, its body wreathed in flames, neither hot nor cold, twisted and shaped the space itself, threatening to shatter the spatial barrier. A phoenix surrounded it in clear water, so pure that even a feather could not float; birds flew past, but could not cross it.
"The Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix are both king-level spirit beasts. The Fire Dragon King possesses the Heaven-Burning Flame, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas in battle, turning everything in heaven and earth into nothingness. In defense, it can traverse the void, regarding thousands of miles of mountains and rivers as nothing. With its perfect combination of offense and defense, the Fire Dragon King is far more terrifying than ordinary spirit gods and martial gods." Knowing that he didn't forget to popularize knowledge, he dutifully imparted knowledge to Ji Xiaoxiao. "The Water Phoenix controls the Nine Heavens Divine Weak Water. Wherever it passes, even a goose feather cannot float, and reeds will sink to the bottom. It is said that countless wronged souls and evil spirits reside in this Nine Heavens Divine Weak Water. When the Water Phoenix commands, it can overturn the continent and cause the destruction of all races."
Zhi Shu's expression was serious, his face grim. He held a pill in his hand and crushed it discreetly. "If they were to attack us, we would likely be in grave danger."
Faced with such a powerful spirit beast, Ji Xiaoxiao was on guard, but her resistance was futile. All her martial energy and spiritual power seemed to be frozen solid from the outside in under extreme cold.
As expected of the king of spirit beasts, his aura alone intimidated Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao was weak in all four limbs and pale in the face. She could only stand up by leaning on Dali.
“Miss, Zhishu is right. The three of us are no match for the Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix.” Dali’s carefree and honest demeanor vanished, replaced by a cold and icy gaze.
The Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix are among the overlords of the Death Forest. They have been gods for thousands of years, accumulating strength over time. It is no problem for the Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix to surround and kill the Spirit God and the Martial God, let alone the three of them, who are not even Martial Saints.
“If you must die, Miss, I hope you…” Daryl’s hand pierced through Ji Xiaoxiao’s chest, aiming straight for her heart. He clenched his fist and squeezed hard. “Die without any pain.”
Dali suddenly attacked, and Ji Xiaoxiao was killed instantly. Zhishu rushed to her aid, but Dali seized the opportunity to strike. Master and servant, both died.
"Killing your master and your friend, you're ruthless enough." There was a hint of admiration in the Fire Dragon King's words.
The king's appreciation was met with a single glance, but Dali felt not pride, but shame, and said with resentment, "Ruthless? Just wait a moment, and you'll see how ruthless I can be."
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's futile and overestimating its own strength," the Fire Dragon King chuckled.
"Fen Tian, stop wasting your breath on her. Let's deal with her and repay our debt of gratitude so we can return to the Divine Realm sooner. Without us, things might change." Shui Fenghuang's voice was female, and her words revealed urgency and panic.
Fire Dragon King thought about it and realized that it made sense.
The strong have their pride and arrogance; if it weren't for paying off debts, it would never have bothered with these insignificant figures. Even a guaranteed victory would be beneath its regal dignity.
"Ruoshui, make your move!" Fentian said.
Without hesitation, the Water Phoenix, Ruoshui, rapidly circulated the Ruoshui water around its body and shot towards Dali. Dali, determined to die, neither dodged nor evaded. In no time, Dali's body was left beside Ji Xiaoxiao and Zhishu.
"Let's go quickly!" Water Phoenix was anxious and eager to return to the Divine Realm after killing Dali.
Those who reach the realm of gods possess the ability to foresee the future through their five senses. Although it was vague, the Fire Dragon King was filled with doubts, and a strange feeling lingered in his mind for a long time.
His piercing gaze almost bore a hole through the corpse, but he still couldn't figure it out. With the Water Phoenix urging him on, the Fire Dragon King gave up.
The Fire Dragon King spun its massive, mountain-like body, and suddenly, a series of explosions began in the sky. The explosions were extremely powerful and lasted for a long time. The azure sky was filled with smoke, and fiery clouds pressed down overhead, turning everything crimson, like an ancient battlefield littered with corpses.
The water phoenix raised its head and let out a low cry, the sound waves expanding and the entire space suddenly stopped.
"Burning Heaven," the Water Phoenix called out coldly to the Fire Dragon King.
"I understand, you don't need to remind me."
The Fire Dragon King excitedly swung its massive tail, flinging the still space into the sky, higher and farther away. Reaching its highest point, the stillness ended, and the explosions continued.
"He tricked us even on his deathbed, how ruthless." Not wanting to argue with the world, the Fire Dragon King curled his lip and followed the Water Phoenix, hurrying towards the deepest part of the Death Forest.
As the Water Phoenix and the Fire Dragon King departed, no one noticed that Dali's finger had twitched.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, night falls.
Because the oppressive aura of the kingly spirit beast still lingers in the surrounding area, no beasts are seen here, and birds are reluctant to fly around. It is quiet and still, like a ghostly realm.
Dali, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up in shock and gasped for breath.
The breathing was extremely loud, sounding like the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves, which terrified and unsettled those who heard it.
With oxygen in his lungs, Dali forced his legs to cross, focusing all his energy on absorbing the vital energy. A few drops of weak water remained in his meridians, which Dali forced out. His body acted like a magnet, with the vital energy of heaven and earth surging into his body like a storm.
"Alright!" Dali got up, twisted and turned, and stretched his stiff body.
Zhi Shu and Ji Xiaoxiao's bodies were placed neatly to one side. Da Li laid them side by side, then used his fingernails to cut open the carotid artery in their wrists, and hot blood flowed into Zhi Shu and Ji Xiaoxiao's mouths.
As the blood completely merged into Ji Xiaoxiao and Zhishu's bodies, Dali's face suddenly turned ashen, his body swayed, his legs staggered, and the taste of rust filled his mouth.
"Soul, return." Dali suppressed his discomfort, and every word he uttered carried a seductive meaning, which could instantly sway those with weak wills.
As Dali read more and more urgently, a sudden gust of wind arose, causing the surrounding grass and trees to sway and rustle. Seeing this, Zhishu abruptly opened his eyes.
Zhi Shu came back to life, and then Ji Xiaoxiao also woke up.
