Ch 28: Vermilion Bird’s Will, Activate!
Facing the opponent who stood proudly before her, Liu Xixi, though sharp-tongued, dared not be careless in her heart.
As the competition began, she didn’t probe but immediately entered White Tiger Form, grasping Thunder and charging forward.
Facing Liu Xixi’s fierce offensive, Jing Su did not engage in a slugfest but continuously dodged. The two exchanged blows with extreme speed, and thunderous light continuously flickered on the arena.
“Thunder Flash!”
With a flash of dazzling light, only Liu Xixi remained on the arena.
Her hair flowed elegantly, and the Thunder in her hand transformed into a Thunder Spear, pointing directly at the Sky.
“Wouldn’t it have been better this way? Without wings, how can you fight me?”
Following the spear tip, Jing Su stood calmly in the air, his magnificent white and blue wings gently fanning behind him.
“So, what will you do next?”
As his words fell, the entire surface of the arena began to burn with blue Bifang Divine Fire.
Liu Xixi paid it no mind; this area-of-effect flame automatically extinguished when it reached her, unable to harm her at all.
But how was she to attack?
When the Sky became another’s territory, even jumping was impossible.
After careful consideration, Liu Xixi no longer hesitated, clawing at the ground.
“Birdcage.”
A series of thunders rose from the ground, originating from the center of the arena and covering the surroundings.
“You ask me what I’ll do, of course, it’s to lock the bird in the cage.”
Liu Xixi thrust the Thunder Spear in her hand into the ground. With her movement, the Birdcage began to slowly contract.
In the Sky, Jing Su watched the approaching Birdcage and smiled.
He closed his wings, transforming into a blue firebird, and suddenly charged towards the Birdcage.
With a loud boom, flames and thunder clashed. In the end, the flames shattered the thunder and pierced the Birdcage. However, the pierced Birdcage seemed to suddenly gain life, its threads tightly entwining Jing Su’s feet. Threads of thunder decomposed from the Birdcage and attacked Jing Su.
Gazing at the approaching thunder threads, Jing Su laughed.
“I expected this; it’s a trap…”
Immediately, his wings flapped wildly, carrying the entwined lightning towards the high sky, then he abruptly pounced downwards.
“Sky Strike!”
Blue flames erupted instantly, suppressing the thunder below, and violently smashed towards Liu Xixi.
“Wildfire!”
At the same time, the originally fragile flames on the ground suddenly transformed into a wall of fire, suppressing Liu Xixi’s movement.
“You lost!”
Liu Xixi sighed as she looked at the overwhelming attack. Her Thunder was meant to enhance her melee combat abilities, not to be used as a ranged attack like this.
The Birdcage, as a move she cast from a distance, was still too weak when colliding with Jing Su’s physical body!
At this final moment, Liu Xixi threw a smile towards Xia Jiuyuan outside the arena.
Immediately, Sky Strike descended, a loud bang, smoke billowed, and the entire arena fell into deathly silence.
Swish!
A figure sliced through the smoke and flew into the Sky. At that moment, many thought the outcome was decided, that Jing Su had won.
But when the red wings illuminated the Sky, the geniuses fell silent.
“Damn…”
“Calm down, Senior Martial Brother.”
Zhao Tiankuo leaned beside Jiang Manyue, squinting at the extraordinary figure in the sky.
“But this is really demoralizing for me…”
Jiang Manyue tightly gripped the sword in her hand, observing the figure, and said no more.
…
“Vermillion Bird Intent? This is truly… incredible, incredible!”
“Hahaha, that’s right, the problem I’ve worried about day and night has been solved!”
“So what’s going on? How come I didn’t know the Vermillion Bird Bloodline existed in this world?”
“It doesn’t. Li Canghuang, guess why I didn’t stop your Xia Jiuyuan from Lucky Peak from contacting my precious niece?”
“…Hundred Treasures Garden? Does the Hundred Treasures Garden have such precious items? It seems we underestimated it.”
Gaining realization of Divine Beast Intent is an arduous challenge; even with outstanding Talent, it requires continuous nourishment of essence blood to have a chance to glimpse it. This is also why Liu Le, as a World-Ending existence, could not solve Liu Xixi’s problem.
Of the current Four Divine Beast bloodlines, the Azure Dragon is the Beast King, the Black Tortoise is hidden among the Sea Clan, and the Vermillion Bird has already gone extinct.
The Sea Clan is reclusive, their current situation unknown, and their connection with the Black Tortoise is non-existent.
The Beast King is warlike, solely focused on recapturing the Feather Tribe and ruling the Continent.
Liu Jing Forest was originally the variable of this Continent, with its two World-Ending rulers being the Feather Tribe and the Beast Tribe.
The Beast Tribe and the Feather Tribe were once one, but they later split into two parts.
The Feather Tribe are the winged beings; they are proud and united, miraculously creating a floating city – the Ideal Country.
It can be said that except for the Jing Yu lineage, all other winged species have joined the Ideal Country.
The Beast Tribe is different; the Grave King Beast Court alone, where the Beast King resides, possesses the power to sweep through the Human Race and the Feather Tribe. However, if the Human Race and Feather Tribe were to unite, the situation would be different.
Therefore, if Liu Le were to ask the Beast King for Azure Dragon essence blood, the Beast King would certainly demand that he join the Grave King Beast Court.
But Liu Le’s wife, Jing Yu, who is a winged being, would definitely not join the Beast King’s forces, as she would be hunted down by the Feather Tribe as an enemy of life and death.
The final result would be… Liu Jing Forest falling apart! It might even become the fuse for the Continent’s chaotic war!
Both the Beast King, the Feather Tribe, and the Human Race were paying extremely close attention to the situation in Liu Jing Forest.
Liu Le’s attitude is that he just wants to slack off and live a comfortable and carefree life with Jing Yu.
But if one day Liu Xixi desperately needed a second Divine Beast Intent to suppress the malice within her, Liu Le would have no choice but to request the Beast King’s help.
But all of this has been resolved!
Liu Xixi has obtained the Vermillion Bird Intent, her internal balance of Right and Wrong is restored, and there are no more worries.
Honestly, Liu Le now wants to hug Xia Jiuyuan, but Xia Jiuyuan’s scumbag behavior makes him want to hit him.
“I’m so grateful to that kid. If it weren’t for him, everything in the future might have been completely different.”
Li Canghuang was also in a good mood. If Liu Jing Forest disbanded and Liu Le joined the Beast Tribe while Jing Yu joined the Feather Tribe, then humanity would only be more endangered.
“Gratitude in words? Aren’t you going to show something?”
Hearing Li Canghuang’s teasing words, Liu Le raised an eyebrow.
“Heh heh, he’s already stolen the most precious treasure of our Liu Jing Forest…
If it weren’t for Little Xi’s attitude, a scumbag like Xia Jiuyuan would definitely not have lived past the second day of meeting my niece.”
Li Canghuang smiled without refuting, because what he said was indeed the truth.
…….
On the First Arena,
Liu Xixi stood in the Sky, still with blue eyes and white hair, but now adorned with magnificent fiery red wings, her aura had completely changed.
“So, when you lose the advantage of wings, what will you do?”
“My wings are innate!”
Jing Su was no longer calm at this moment, staring at Liu Xixi’s beautiful wings in shock, but he continued to explain verbally.
“Your wings are not physical bodies, but energy bodies. Can energy bodies be called wings?”
Liu Xixi’s mouth twitched. In her opinion, this person was hopeless, a late-stage wing fetishist!
“Ah yes, yes, yes, they’re not wings, but they’re more than enough to defeat you.”
She summoned a flaming spear, feeling her body’s state, never having felt so pleased.
“Vermillion Bird Fire—”
Her wings flapped rapidly as she swooped down, the spear tip aimed directly at Jing Yu.
“Burning Explosion!”
