Mr. Zhang said with a disdainful look, "It's just a crow, what bad luck."
As he spoke, he launched an attack at the fire phoenix.
The fire phoenix gently flapped its wings, and the attack was deflected back the way it came. Seeing this, Zhang Qihua quickly said, "Sister, lend me a hand."
Having said that, he stood in front of Zhang's father and did his best to block him.
Zhang Qihua hesitated for a moment and took a step back. Soon, the protective magic artifact on Zhang Qihua's body shattered, and the attack passed through his body. He coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Zhang Qihua in confusion.
Zhang Qihua, tears streaming down her face, explained, "Brother, I'm sorry, I was just too scared..."
Zhang Qihua gave her a reassuring smile and said with difficulty, "Little sister, don't cry, brother doesn't blame you..." His voice was as doting as ever, and he breathed his last as soon as he finished speaking.
Father Zhang stared at the black crow on the withered branch with bloodshot eyes, and shouted hoarsely to Old Master Zhang in the courtyard, "Father, kill that crow, it killed Hua'er."
Grandpa Zhang had originally intended to teach that arrogant crow a lesson, and upon hearing this, he unleashed a full-force attack on the crow on the withered branch. Murong Yu was too late to stop him and anxiously shouted, "Quickly, dodge!"
The Fire Phoenix, seeing the attack about to strike it, scoffed and shouted, "Shameless old thief! Shameless old thief! How dare you ambush this great bird! Insolence! Insolence!"
With a powerful flap of its wings, it retaliated against the attack. Old Master Zhang was unable to dodge in time and was fatally injured on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Zhang's father was deeply grieved and took out a fifth-grade attack magic weapon, the Deadly Needle, from his spatial ring.
This is a protective artifact given to him by Grandpa Zhang; it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Because, with his current cultivation level, he simply cannot activate the Life-Taking Needle.
However, he couldn't care less about that now.
Zhang's father's eyes were bloodshot. He forced out blood from his heart with his palm and activated the Deadly Needle to attack Huo Feng, a sinister and triumphant smile on his face.
However, his smile quickly froze on his face. The deadly needle did not kill the crow as he had expected. Instead, it obediently stopped in front of the crow and did not attack it.
Fire Phoenix's gloating voice rang out: "Oh, junior, you're quite good, you know how to be respectful to this great bird."
"Although this magical artifact is far too shabby and unworthy of this bird lord."
"However, seeing how sincere you are, this bird will reluctantly accept it."
"No need to thank me, Lord Bird. I am just such a kind and helpful bird."
"This bird is so kind, awesome!"
Having said that, he erased the divine imprint of Zhang's father from the Deadly Needle.
He threw it to Murong Yu.
Murong Yu: "..."
Murong Yu reached out and caught it, then turned and tossed it to Ao Bupa, whose eyes were shining brightly.
Upon seeing this, Zhang's father was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that both Old Master Zhang and her brother were dead, Zhang Qihua disregarded her seriously injured father and secretly hid in the inner room.
Seeing this, Huo Feng clicked her tongue and mocked, "Little girl, where are you going? The person in the yard is your grandfather, right? What, you're not planning to collect your grandfather's body? Tsk tsk tsk... How unfilial."
Upon hearing this, Zhang's father turned around in shock and saw Zhang Qihua retreating. Overwhelmed with fear, anxiety, anger, and hatred, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Zhang Qihua pleaded softly, "Seniors, I was unaware of this."
"It was all a plan devised by my brother and grandfather."
"My daughter is a disciple of the Wanfa Sect. I beg you seniors to spare my life for the sake of the Wanfa Sect."
