Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled Chapter 388 - 384: Golden Crow Armor Acquired

At this mont, Xia Feng was holding the Heaven-Burying Sword in one hand and grabbing the neck of the Three-legged Golden Crow with the other.

The mournful cry just now ca from the Three-legged Golden Crow before its death, piercing through Xia Feng’s eardrums, making him sowhat suspect that it contained the Great Dao of Demon Sound.

The Sword Spirit in the Heaven-Burying Sword also fell silent, looking a bit dazed at Xia Feng beside it, then turning its gaze to the Three-legged Golden Crow in his hand.

Xia Feng didn’t notice this rare mont of obedience from the Sword Spirit, as he was lost in thought, staring at the shadow on the Golden Crow Armor that resembled flowing light.

Then, before Xia Feng could react, that shadow started to frantically absorb the Divine Power from Xia Feng’s body.

Startled, Xia Feng instinctively prepared to fling away the Three-legged Golden Crow in his hand, but the Sword Spirit quickly intervened to stop him.

"No, no, no, this is a good thing, this is the Secret Treasure recognizing its master and charging."

"The illusion of the Three-legged Golden Crow just now probably consud a lot of the Secret Treasure’s energy, otherwise, it wouldn’t have chosen you so easily."

The Sword Spirit spoke with a slightly sour tone, perhaps worried that its chances to appear would lessen once Xia Feng had a more powerful Secret Treasure.

But Xia Feng didn’t have ti to deal with its little concerns, only gazing down at the Golden Crow Armor in his palm that continuously absorbed energy.

The Sword Spirit pouted, continuing to explain to Xia Feng with a hint of grievance: "The illusion of the Three-legged Golden Crow earlier had accumulated energy over many years."

"Now, probably because the energy is depleted and you happen to be nearby with the Great Dao of Li Huo, the Golden Crow Armor chose you as its master."

"In the Secret Realm, at most only a month, it doesn’t need to formally recognize a master, it’s like finding a temporary resting place for itself, while continuously absorbing energy to temper itself."

As the Sword Spirit spoke, it seed more and more convinced that this was the truth, its childish tone tinged with contemplation.

Xia Feng chuckled lightly, then absorbed the Heaven-Burying Sword back into his body.

He naturally perceived the small concerns of the Sword Spirit, just chose not to bother with them.

Watching as the Golden Crow Armor in his hand went from initially consuming a large amount of Divine Power to gradually less, barely needing just a bit of Divine Power to maintain itself.

He untied his outer robe and directly wore the Golden Crow Armor against his body, feeling a bit downhearted.

Judging by the amount of Divine Power the Golden Crow Armor absorbed from him, it would be difficult to nurture another Three-legged Golden Crow nearing the level of a Celestial Tier Martial God.

Wondering if he would ever get the chance to see that Golden Crow display its might beside him in the future.

Just as he fastened the buttons, Xia Tianming’s sowhat urgent transmission suddenly ca from the void.

"Those few disciples from the Four Clans who left earlier have returned, and they’ve brought more people."

Xia Feng’s expression turned a bit curious, what kind of stupidity had these people reached?

Knowing they couldn’t defeat him, yet repeatedly coming to court death.

He even suspected there was so unspeakable conspiracy among them.

However, he had just fiercely battled the Three-legged Golden Crow, and later, during the recognition by the Golden Crow Armor, a lot of Divine Power was drained.

Though not as overly exhausted as before, his current state still wasn’t at its peak.

And these returning disciples of the Four Clans...

As Xia Feng contemplated, he adjusted his attire, preparing to rush out from the mountain peak.

Xia Tianming still lingered in the void, not revealing himself, and these disciples of the Four Clans hadn’t found his location, instead advancing straight toward the depths of the peak.

Nangong Lian’s beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she bit her silver teeth, speaking coldly.

"Those damned bastards certainly haven’t left, the commotion from the battle here just now was so big, those two must have drained themselves quite a bit."

"Since they dared to take the stuff of the Four Clans, they should be prepared to leave their hands behind!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xin Qing beside her.

"But here I am, risking my life to accompany you on this treasure hunt, you promised those two treasures before, make sure you give them to once we’re out of the Secret Realm."

Nangong Lian’s eyes betrayed a wary glint: "Otherwise, what happened today in the Secret Realm, I’ll definitely spread it everywhere."

Xin Qing’s face twitched, his expression stiff for a mont.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already made a Lifebound Oath, are you worried I’ll run away?"

"If I really run, the oath’s backlash would be enough to deal with ."

Nangong Lian’s expression softened sowhat, but she still didn’t look pleased, she hadn’t expected Xin Qing to be so obsessed with this Secret Treasure, doing such a heartless deed.

Rewind a bit, after the core disciples of the Four Great Clans used treasures to escape, Xin Qing and Nangong Lian, whether by coincidence or not, landed right among the inner disciples of the Dongfang Clan.

Due to having used a treasure, Nangong Lian was feeling sowhat nerve-wrecked and hadn’t intended to start any conflict with them.

But Xin Qing beside her suddenly went mad, slaughtering all those inner disciples of the Dongfang Clan.

Then, with yet another Secret Treasure, drew all their Power of the Soul into that treasure.

By then, Xin Qing already possessed the power of a Celestial Tier First Layer Martial God, forcing Nangong Lian to use another life-saving Secret Treasure, surviving Xin Qing’s madness.

Afterward, Xin Qing coerced her into silence about the day’s happenings, pressing her to accompany him to reclaim that Great Dao of Li Huo treasure.

At this mont, Nangong Lian felt like she was being grilled over a fire, whether resisting Xin Qing or confronting Xia Feng, both seed too risky.

Yet, now that the bow was drawn, she had no choice but to release the arrow.

Xia Feng pondered over these people’s ntal journeys, clicking his tongue lightly, and suppressed the fluctuations of Divine Power in his body, making himself appear heavily injured.

The disturbances from the fight within the mountain peak were so loud, these people were not suspicious.

Especially Xin Qing, upon seeing Xia Feng in this state, didn’t even bother wondering where the other Xia Tianming was, his expression taking on a gleam of delight.

"Haha, boy, aren’t you quite arrogant?"

"Didn’t you say all the Secret Treasures would be yours in the future?"

As he spoke, flas erupted from him, the Great Dao of Li Huo burning in his palm.

Whether unsatisfied or sothing else, the Golden Crow Armor on Xia Feng suddenly twitched, then half-dragged Xia Feng a short distance towards Xin Qing.

Seeing Xia Feng’s obviously out-of-control body and the panicked look on his face, Xin Qing’s eyes lit up even further, increasing the output of the Great Dao of Li Huo in his hand, causing the flas to beco even more pronounced.
