"Red Feather, this aura of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix is truly useful!"
Yun Xiao ignored Zhang Daohe's ominous, murderous gaze, instead praising internally, while his inner sight sensed a presence emanating a feeling of satisfaction.
Earlier, Yun Xiao's ability to use the Water Phoenix to attack and instantly break that Black Fire Crow's ridian Techniques did not rely on his own ridian Qi Cultivation, but rather on the unique aura of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bestowed by Red Feather on the Water Phoenix.
The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix is the sky's dominator worshipped by countless flying beast vein demons. Regular flying beast vein demons, even if they just sense a trace of the aura of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, would be immobilized, let alone confront it.
In so respects, purely in terms of intimidating flying beast vein demons, even the self-proclaid Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Xiao Wu, pales in comparison.
So this ti, a spark of inspiration struck Yun Xiao when he saw Zhang Daohe's fire crow attacking, and he directly used the Water Phoenix, imbued with the special aura, to respond.
Ordinarily, Yun Xiao's ridian Qi Cultivation is far inferior to Zhang Daohe's in terms of using ridian Techniques, but with the addition of this trace of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's aura, the situation was different.
The aura of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix is not only effective on corporeal flying beast vein demons, but it also has a strong suppressive effect on so flying beast ridian Techniques ford by ridian qi, like the current Black Fire Crow.
Aside from Yun Xiao and Red Feather, outsiders wouldn't know the causal relationship within, which created the seemingly easy dispatch of the Black Fire Crow, appearing rather bizarre and dazzling to outsiders.
Even Zhang Daohe was unclear about what exactly was happening. How could his typically unrivaled fire crow seem powerless upon encountering the Water Phoenix, like a baby mouse confronting an old cat?
"Take my strike!"
In the instant Zhang Daohe wore a gloomy expression, Yun Xiao did not remain idle. With a movent of his handprint, the Water Phoenix that defeated the fire crow swiftly headed towards this Seventh Elder of the Wuyan Palace.
Seeing this, Luo Fusheng nearby couldn't help but find the scene familiar, as it was akin to Yun Xiao's earlier thod of killing Long Xiwawa outside another hall, undoubtedly having a similar principle.
The only difference was that the water droplets surrounding Long Xiwawa were now replaced by the Water Phoenix, and with Luo Fusheng's knowledge, he naturally understood that the Water Phoenix could change form at will.
Won't even Zhang Daohe be enveloped by Yun Xiao's water flow ridian Techniques and turned into an ice sculpture?
The initial developnt was indeed as Luo Fusheng had imagined. Under Yun Xiao's control, the Water Phoenix spread its wings and went to embrace Zhang Daohe's body. Once enveloped, the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power in his left arm would suddenly be unleashed.
Though uncertain of the effect, Yun Xiao had great confidence in his Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, and with the ridian Spirit of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, his icy power naturally contained a hint of poison, incomparable to ordinary icy power.
It must be said that Zhang Daohe, the elder of Wuyan Palace, was far more formidable than Long Xiwawa. At this mont, he didn't even make a move to evade.
"Black Fire Burning City!"
Seeing the massive Water Phoenix approaching, Zhang Daohe let out a deep shout, followed by a downward press with his hands. A black fla rose fiercely, and in an instant, a sea of fire sprawled before him.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
This was clearly Zhang Daohe's Ancestral Vein Fire, and this ti, he only condensed the fla without forming a fire crow, achieving much better results than before.
After all, Yun Xiao easily broke Zhang Daohe's ridian Techniques earlier, relying on the aura of Red Feather, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix fledgling; now, when faced with pure fla, the aura of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was of no use.
When the fla of a Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm expert confronts the water attribute ridian Techniques of an Early Stage of Earth Bending Realm youth, the result is obvious. In just a mont, the Water Phoenix evaporated without a trace.
At this mont, Zhang Daohe, enveloped by countless black flas, resembled a war god reborn from Nirvana. Radiating the montum of having burned the Water Phoenix, he exuded a unique dominance.
"Almost startled this elder. Turns out to be a paper tiger!"
No one saw Zhang Daohe in the black fire heaving a sigh of relief. To be honest, though angered, he was startled by Yun Xiao's instant neutralization of the fire crow.
It wasn't until he used the Black Fire Burning City ridian Techniques to effortlessly evaporate the Water Phoenix that Zhang Daohe regained so confidence, clearly recognizing the ridian qi disparity between them, an irreparable gap.
However, what Zhang Daohe didn't know was that at this mont, Yun Xiao was rely testing the waters, with many formidable cards yet to be played.
Not to ntion the Ninth Rank low-level vein demon on his shoulder; if it joined the fight, they would surely not lose to this Seventh Elder of Wuyan Palace.
Not to ntion that Yun Xiao also has two ancient mythical creatures within him, both Hong Yu and Xiao Wu possess powers on par with Chi Yan, especially Xiao Wu. If he lends his strength to Yun Xiao, he might instantly reach the sa level as Zhang Daohe.
Of course, using Xiao Wu's power is Yun Xiao's final trump card; he won't easily resort to it unless in a life-or-death situation, as he can't afford the weakness that follows. After all, they're at the bottom of Yanji Lake; anyone might attack him unexpectedly.
But Yun Xiao knows this; Zhang Daohe does not. Upon realizing their confrontation through ridian Techniques is indeed real, Zhang Daohe's confidence surged, thinking that he doesn't need to use his physical strength or the fire crow attack. Why fear this boy soaring to the sky?
Moreover, Zhang Daohe knows even if Yun Xiao can truly fly, they're at the bottom of Yanji Lake, and the barrier above isolating the lake water is an obstacle for Yun Xiao's ascent.
"Boy, I've told you, today you're impossible to leave this hall alive!"
Zhang Daohe's face showed a confident expression, and upon these words, Yun Xiao's eyes flashed cold. Since this guy insists on seeking death, he could only oblige.
As the most important treasure of Wuyan Water Palace hasn't appeared yet, Yun Xiao originally didn't want to go all out against Zhang Daohe here. If this guy backed down through difficulty, it would be the best outco.
But this was just Yun Xiao's wishful thinking; why should the dignified Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm elder of Wuyan Palace back down? Yun Xiao's apparent strength wasn't enough to make Zhang Daohe retreat.
In Zhang Daohe's view, even if Ge Wanli from over there assisted, he could handle two foes. This young boy is ultimately just using so clever tricks; the real threat might not even match Elder Ge Wanli of Demons Mountain.
The atmosphere was tense like a drawn sword, and Ge Wanli subtly moved a few steps forward. It seed he also noticed that Yun Xiao's earlier achievents mostly relied on cleverness. If it ca to risking lives, he wouldn't be a match for Zhang Daohe.
Boom!
However, just when the battle was about to break out, a terrifying energy disturbance suddenly ca from outside the palace. The expressions of those inside changed slightly, and their gazes turned toward the outside simultaneously.
"This disturbance... Seems sowhat familiar?"
Seventh Elder of Wuyan Palace, Zhang Daohe, sensed the disturbance and changed his expression the most. In the aura of that disturbance, he sensed sothing vaguely familiar.
"Could it be... the aura of Holy Fire No Fla?!"
Within monts, Zhang Daohe sensed the disturbance, sowhat resembling the Holy Object of Wuyan Palace, Holy Fire No Fla. In this instant, he lost the interest to fight Yun Xiao to the death here.
"No Fla is our palace's Holy Object. For more than ten generations, no Palace Master has been able to refine it. Could the problem lie within this Water Palace?"
These thoughts made Zhang Daohe recall nurous details. He hadn't witnessed Wuyan Palace's headquarters relocation, but the Holy Fire No Fla had always been in the Holy Fla Hall at the headquarters.
Every Palace Master of Wuyan Palace tried to refine No Fla over the years but failed without exception. So even suffered severe injuries, and one was killed by its backlash.
Indeed, No Fla is Wuyan Palace's Holy Fire, but it's sowhat nominal, not providing power but endless pain for the Palace Masters.
Over the years, No Fla beca a rather useless Holy Object, rely a symbol token for Wuyan Palace. Even strong figures like Wu Zhukong had given up on refining Holy Fire No Fla.
Everyone knows it's a treasure, but no one can refine it, making them nostalgic yet troubled.
But now, Zhang Daohe clearly knows Holy Fire No Fla is at Wuyan Palace's headquarters, separated by mountains and waters from here. Why does this sudden disturbance have the aura of Holy Fire No Fla?
This may relate to the key reason Holy Fire No Fla hasn't been successfully refined over the years. Realizing this possibility, Zhang Daohe had thrown Yun Xiao and Ge Wanli out of his mind.
His heart burned with anticipation, thinking if he could find the secret of Holy Fire No Fla and truly refine the fire that even generations of Palace Masters couldn't, wouldn't that an a trendous fortune?
Such achievent not only deepens his skill but might surpass the current Palace Master Wu Zhukong, becoming the strongest in both Wuyan Palace and potentially the Tenglong Continent.
Such an outco not only makes the position of Wuyan Palace's Palace Master easily accessible but also reclaims the glory from Wuyan Palace's founding, eternally rembered for him, Zhang Daohe.
Swoosh!
With complex emotions, Zhang Daohe disregarded Ge Wanli and Yun Xiao, moved his body, and darted outside.
Behind him trailed a long black fire tail, showing how anxious he was; this concerned Zhang Daohe's lifelong fate.
