Volume 1 Chapter 74: Killer Codename, Phoenix of Death
"Alright, I've written this far and all I want to say is that the book has gotten fat enough, you can start reading while killing time. To those kids who quietly exit the page after seeing this sentence, beware of the Phoenix coming to your house..."
"Damn it! I don't have any equipment on me except for the Cold Calamity Sword, and you're still daring to fight me with your whole body of spiritual soldiers?" Zuo Yifan felt a chill spreading from his spine throughout his body, looking utterly disheveled. At this point, he had already put quite some distance between himself and the cave entrance. The red shadow behind him was hot on his heels, having chased him for over half an incense stick's worth of time at super high speed.
Hongying's body trembled slightly, and a dense yellow spiritual energy was released from behind her back. A pair of huge spiritual wings slowly condensed on Hongying's back, and they actually solidified into a pair of deep yellow spiritual wings.
The innate spiritual realm's later stage of Great Perfection can exert spiritual power to transform objects, and the Three Mysterious Realms' later stage of Great Perfection can transform spiritual power into wings. Of course, not everyone can condense it out, but once condensed, this person will necessarily be a strong one! At this moment, Zhuo Yifan felt some regret in his heart, what kind of perverted energy was he and these people cultivating?
"Run! Hehe, see where you run!"
The twin wings trembled slightly, bursting out energy sparks. The red shadow's body was also suspended in mid-air, transforming into a meteor that chased after the nearby black shadow, and its speed had increased significantly once again.
"Spiritual power transforms into wings, the Three Mystical Realms' boundary is finally broken in the late stage! My goodness! I'm just a pre-heavenly spiritual realm mid-stage cultivator, isn't this too much!"
Zhuo Yifan couldn't help but curse loudly when he heard the sound of breaking wind coming from behind him, and seeing the mocking smile under that gloomy mask, he involuntarily whispered a bitter cry.
"First generation! First generation!" Zhuo Yifan shouted in his heart towards the ring, but he never got a response.
This icy woman always left him speechless, as a guide who worked to pass on the tradition, wasn't it also his duty to protect the successor? How could he just sit back and do nothing?
But thinking of the woman's words in the ring, Zhuo Yifan felt that this was a very normal thing. With her temper, it would be good if she didn't come out to add fuel to the fire, and yet he dared to hope that she could save him? It was simply a manifestation of giving up on his desire to survive.
"Hiss!"
Hongying swiftly grasped towards Zhuoyifan's back, tearing off a piece of his beast skin clothing. Looking at Zhuoyifan's disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but sneer, "Run? You think you can run from me again? I'll give you the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and you still won't be able to outrun me."
No matter how hard Zhuo Yifan ran, the Red Shadow was able to catch up with just a slight tap of her Spirit Boots and Spirit Wings, and even had spare time to chat.
"If you give me a stick of incense time, you absolutely won't be able to find me!"
"You think I'll let you off with just a warning? Dream on! Now that I've caught up with you, you're going to have to die!" the red shadow sneered.
"You think you're a big shot, huh? Let me tell you something, I have zero interest in men." Red Shadow's voice was thick with murderous intent, and Zhuo Yifan didn't mince words either, slightly tilting his head to say loudly.
"What a fine young man, I'll send you back home right now!" Hong Ying's tone turned cold as she took out a sickle from behind her and slashed it at Zhuo Yifan's neck!
Bang! The sickle and iron arm collided, producing a crisp sound, but the greater force was that which slashed a long wound on Zhuo Yifan's arm, and fresh blood immediately gushed out.
"Shura no Yaiba!" At the same time, Shura no Yaiba burst out again in an instant as it condensed, shooting towards Akane's heart.
The red shadow moved extremely fast, and Shura's thrust barely caused her any delay, only interfering with her lower field of vision.
"Boom!" The Shura spear was dodged by the red shadow, and with a whoosh, it pierced through a tree, immediately exploding, leaving behind a small crater of about ten zhang in diameter. Its destructive power was astonishing. If the red shadow had not dodged in time, its life would have also been endangered.
"What a tyrannical soul technique, but unfortunately, the speed is really too slow. Do you still want to rely on it to escape this desperate situation?"
"Wow!"
The Asura's Sting was just a smoke bomb, followed by a flying stone that quietly almost made the Red Shadow overlook it.
"Hmph! Don't dodge around, give up early and I'll give you a quick one. A stone also wants to..." Red Shadow originally wanted to say that even a stone wanted to stop her, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she became speechless. She was stunned to find that the calm stone had actually emitted an invisible aura of contemplation, which solidly collided with her knee.
"Crack!" The moment the kneecap hit the stone, the soul inside was shaken, and Red Shadow's speed suddenly weakened by more than half. Immediately, a look of horror appeared on his face: "The kneecap is actually cracked!"
This is impossible! How could someone infuse psychic powers into inanimate objects?!
"Good kid, you actually have such a strange and sinister soul technique!" The red shadow gazed at the young man in front of her with shock and astonishment, her mind churning with waves of anger and endless fury. She had never thought that an outsider cultivator could also entangle with her for so long, and even injure herself. If this got out, her reputation as "Phoenix of Death" would surely take a huge hit in the eyes of others.
"You stinky little brat! You think you can escape today? If you do, where will I put my face?! The Phoenix of Death was enraged, her two palms clasped together as a majestic yellow spiritual energy burst forth from the two daggers in her hands. The sharp blades extended over a meter, emitting a humming sound that shattered the air."
Even if the speed is halved, the degree of Red Shadow cannot be underestimated. Hundreds of meters away, with the blessing of Single Foot and Back Wing, it's just a blink of an eye to arrive. The terrible offensive also bursts out in an instant with two daggers.
Wow!
Not allowed!
Hoo-hoo!
Not again!
Two people, one chasing and one fleeing. Zhuo Yifan was also getting used to the red shadow's movements with his dynamic vision. With the help of Wind Shadow Step and Da Yan Tu, he dodged two fatal attacks in a row. The red shadow's twin daggers flashed with a fierce light, intersecting like a whirlwind, emitting a low hum. Under the mask, a pair of eyes turned bloodshot, their eyes had turned red with killing intent!
"Dynamic Vision!"
At the critical moment, Zhuo Yifan's magical eyes slowed down the movement of Hongying's hands, giving his brain enough time to react, judge the direction, and make various strange dodging postures, making the Phoenix of Death greatly surprised by the boy's flexible body. It was as if he were a human water snake!
Boom! The dagger attack falls short again.
The intersecting spiritual powers drew a large cross in the void, charging forward and imbuing the Spirit Sword with immense power. The destructive force was astonishing, causing the surrounding trees to be blown down by a strong gust of wind. However, following this strike, the Phoenix's face gradually turned unsightly.
Can't help but say, Zhuo Yifan's actual combat ability and battle experience made her feel extremely tricky. More importantly, Zhuo Yifan seemed to possess many secrets, with an extremely powerful soul technique. Every time he used it, the Phoenix would slow down its attack, becoming disheveled and embarrassed.
