"Mad Lion Sword!"
Suddenly, the lion, holding an ice arrow, quickly rushed towards the imprisoned golden-feathered fire phoenix. Seeing this, the fire phoenix kept howling, flapping its wings angrily, stirring up a whirlwind of fire, but it was still trapped in the net and could not get out.
The giant lion collided with the fire phoenix and stabbed the ice arrow into its chest.
The Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix suddenly quieted down, blood gushing from its chest, its core already wounded. The three teams breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could say anything, they saw a golden glow emanating from the giant bird. The captain, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, exclaimed in horror, "Oh no! It's about to use its innate ability, igniting a new life!"
Not far away, Luo Jianqing saw this scene.
The Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix was born at Rank Five, rumored to be a descendant of the mythical Phoenix. While its bloodline wasn't quite as pure, it possessed a skill very similar to its ancestor's: Fire Rebirth. While the Phoenix's rebirth was a supreme skill, Fire Rebirth was far inferior. Using this skill only allowed the Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix to quickly heal its wounds, giving it a chance to escape. However, if it survived for even a moment, it would regress to Rank Four, potentially never returning to Rank Five again.
To be able to force a Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix, equivalent to a late-stage human Jindan cultivator, into such a predicament, this group of independent cultivators was truly formidable. Luo Jianqing's gaze drifted to Li Xiuchen, who was not far away. He saw him excitedly clutching his sword, as if ready to seize the opportunity.
Luo Jianqing knew that the book "Seeking Immortality" stated that within ten days of arriving at Myriad Beasts Ridge, Li Xiuchen had seized the Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix's treasure and inner elixir, and was hunted by numerous cultivators. The book stated that Li Xiuchen was unaware of the painstaking efforts of those cultivators to defeat the Fire Phoenix, yet they still forced him to hand over the Fire Phoenix's treasure, which he had obtained at a critical moment.
Li Xiuchen was so wronged. This group of shameless people wanted to hunt him down. It was so unfair!
——This is roughly what the book means.
But Luo Jianqing didn't think so.
They'd forced the Fire Phoenix to the point of igniting a new life, a testament to the effort. First, they had to find the Fire Phoenix, then lure it out, and finally, defeat it. Li Xiuchen had simply gotten away with something at the last minute, so it was only natural that they wanted him to hand over his treasure.
However, Myriad Beast Ridge has always been a place where the strongest reign supreme. While Li Xiuchen's treasure-stealing behavior might be despised, it's perfectly normal. However, the group chasing Li Xiuchen was also justified. As long as they could track him down, all the treasures on him would be theirs.
The strong prey on the weak; this is an iron rule in Wanshou Ridge.
Seeing that the Fire Phoenix Bird had recovered its peak energy in a short time, it immediately lifted the giant net that had trapped it. However, by then, those cultivators had already exhausted their spiritual energy and were covered in wounds.
"Everyone! If we can hold out for a cup of tea, this golden-feathered fire phoenix will be at our mercy!"
"good!"
Everyone worked together, each using their own unique skills to avoid the blazing flames of the Fire Phoenix Bird. Naturally, some people were seriously injured, falling to the ground with blood spitting out of their mouths, while others had their arms cut off by the hurricane of the Fire Phoenix Bird, howling in pain.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is so long that it makes people despair.
Of course Li Xiuchen couldn't go up and die, and Luo Jianqing just watched from the side.
This is the rule of Myriad Beasts Ridge. No one here will help you. If Luo Jianqing goes up, he can certainly easily subdue the Fire Phoenix, but those independent cultivators can forget about getting anything. Even if Luo Jianqing is just helping, the efforts of those independent cultivators will be wasted.
Because Luo Jianqing is a Nascent Soul cultivator.
A cup of tea was finally about to pass, and the Fire Phoenix Bird's aura began to wane. This bird was quite clever, and quickly tried to flap its wings and fly away. Just as its aura was about to drop four levels and soar back into the sky, Li Xiuchen excitedly flew over.
"You evil beast, where are you going to escape to!"
Li Xiuchen waved his sword and pointed it directly at the Fire Phoenix. Just as his sword was about to touch the Fire Phoenix, he saw a green light flash past him.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Li Xiuchen suddenly fell from the sky, landing among the wandering cultivators. As for the Fire Phoenix Bird, it also instantly fell to the fourth level. Luo Jianqing's sword energy forced the Fire Phoenix Bird to howl miserably before it also fell.
Those wounded cultivators: "..."
After a while, the leading cultivator, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, stood up, trying to steady his spiritual energy. He said loudly, "I wonder which senior helped us brothers. If you don't mind, you can take this golden-feathered fire phoenix bird. We only want the golden feathers from this monster."
Although the monk tried his best to remain calm while speaking, his voice was still mixed with resentment.
The nineteen of them had gone through untold hardships to find the Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix, using countless treasures to lure it out, and then wounding it so badly. Now this senior, who had only made a final effort, was taking away most of the treasure. How could they not be furious?
However, they dared not speak out.
But to their surprise, Luo Jianqing said calmly: "I did not kill this fire phoenix bird."
The monk was stunned: "Senior?"
Luo Jianqing said indifferently, "I just didn't like this guy who was taking advantage of me, so I used my sword energy to force him down. The Fire Phoenix was too timid, and I didn't mean to kill it, so it frightened itself and fell down."
The monk was overjoyed: "Thank you, senior!"
Luo Jianqing stood in the dark and smiled slightly.
The group of cultivators surrounded the Golden-Winged Fire Phoenix and quickly killed it. After completing this, the captain finally remembered Li Xiuchen's sudden attack. His expression suddenly darkened, and he approached Li Xiuchen. Li Xiuchen was injured by Luo Jianqing's sword energy and fell without warning. He was stunned and didn't immediately flee.
When the captain walked up to him, Li Xiuchen suddenly came to his senses. He gritted his teeth and said, "That voice! You are the person from the inn before, you are that person!!!"
Luo Jianqing smiled faintly and leaned against a tree to rest, smiling without saying a word.
He knew that Li Xiuchen would definitely be able to escape from these casual cultivators, so he wasn't in a hurry. He still had to rely on Li Xiuchen to search for opportunities deep in the Myriad Beast Ridge for the next few months. How could he let Li Xiuchen die here? However...
