When Ye Yinzhu led his Death God Soldiers to this place, he was constantly vigilant of the changes in the surrounding situation.
The desert itself is not a disaster, but the disasters that can occur in the desert are numerous.
Ye Yinzhu had once read about the magical beasts of the desert in a book and had also taken the opportunity to learn about the desert’s conditions.
Therefore, when the sand in the air began to increase rapidly, he had already guessed that something was wrong.
As the feeling grew stronger, he issued the orders for passive defense in the nick of time.
As it turned out, Ye Yinzhu’s actions were correct.
The disaster they encountered in this environment was the most terrifying sandstorm in the desert, with the arrival of Nine Dragon Tornadoes, which probably only appeared in this virtual realm.
However, the time given to Ye Yinzhu to react was too short, so much so that in that moment, he only had time to ensure that the Death God Soldier and Haiyang were protected but forgot about himself.
If Green Silk had still been by his side, maybe he would have had the presence of mind to use it to wrap himself around the Polar Ice Demon Ape.
But by the time the tornado arrived, it was already too late for anything.
Hurled into another tornado, when Ye Yinzhu saw that graceful figure within the tornado, he couldn’t help but murmur to himself, “It’s her.” Wasn’t that dark blue hair the Black Phoenix’s?
When Ye Yinzhu grabbed the Black Phoenix’s hand, the Black Phoenix also clung to him as if she had found a piece of driftwood in the sea.
Just before, they were the leaders of opposing sides, but now they had met in the tornado—so close to each other.
Ye Yinzhu’s right hand instinctively wrapped around the waist of the Black Phoenix, while she tightly grasped his large hand.
Under the sweeping storm, their positions kept changing, but the relative posture of the two did not.
Ye Yinzhu found that his heartbeat was very fast, the sense of intimacy he had felt before now stimulated his brain more intensely than ever, and a strong sense of unease emerged amidst that familiarity.
It was not physical, but something that rose in his heart.
In the midst of the storm, they couldn’t speak or even send sound transmissions.
It would have been the best time for either of them to attack, so close that dodging was almost impossible.
However, for some reason, the Black Phoenix just held tightly to Ye Yinzhu’s hand, even lowering her head to rest her forehead against his chest, while Ye Yinzhu just foolishly looked at her, releasing his Zi Zhu Douqi to protect both their bodies.
Why was there this familiar and intimate feeling?
This thought, occurring while being inside the tornado, actually allowed Ye Yinzhu to focus more on his thoughts.
Gradually, a vague figure began to appear deep within his mind.
No one knew how long the wild sandstorm would last.
Ye Yinzhu was not too worried about his own warriors; a plete defensive formation plus their heavy armor should make self-preservation in this storm no big problem, as every Death God Soldier was an expert.
With the rank Nine Beast, the Polar Ice Demon Ape guarding Haiyang, there would be no issues.
He found that he, who had been determined to go on a killing spree in the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking battle, couldn’t bring himself to harm the stunning beauty in his arms.
Was it because of her beauty?
No, Ye Yinzhu quickly dismissed that idea.
He had seen beauties before.
Xiang Luan, Haiyang, even An Qi, and Sister Anya, all were one in a million.
Even if they were somewhat less beautiful than the Black Phoenix before him, the difference was not huge.
But why did he feel such a unique sensation towards her?
Just as the image in Ye Yinzhu’s mind became clearer with his thoughts, suddenly, a strong sensation of weightlessness struck him, the pressure of the sand cutting through his Douqi vanished instantly, and they fell through midair, embracing each other.
Not good.
The figure in Ye Yinzhu’s mind disappeared amidst this sudden situation, his one hand hugging the Black Phoenix, while he vigorously stimulated his Douqi to its limit, beating downwards repeatedly with his right hand, trying to slow their fall by impacting the air with his Douqi.
Bursts of purple Douqi exploded beautifully in midair.
Although the speed had slowed somewhat, it was still very fast.
It might have been alright if it were just him, but it was both he and the Black Phoenix.
While Zi rank Douqi was strong, air was essentially void, offering too little resistance to borrow force from.
Let go of the Black Phoenix?
No, even the thought never crossed Ye Yinzhu’s mind.
He just kept on driving his Douqi with his palms, but the hand that hugged the Black Phoenix was extra firm.
Her waist was quite slender, seeming as if it could snap with a bit of pressure, extremely smooth to the touch.
Ye Yinzhu dared to say it was the most perfect waist he had ever seen.
Especially when his palm’s edge touched the curve just above her pert buttocks, the astonishing arc from the slim waist to those buttocks was so perfect.
As Ye Yinzhu sweated with fear and the falling speed was still terrifying, the Black Phoenix in his arms suddenly raised her head, one hand wrapped back around Ye Yinzhu’s waist while the other tried to copy his movements and beat downwards.
A surprising scene unfolded—forth from the Black Phoenix’s hand also came bursts of purple light.
Purple Douqi, she was also of Zi rank Douqi.
Judging by her age, she seemed even younger than him.
He had acquired his achievements through a series of coincidences, but she too was a Zi rank Great War Master.
Moreover, Ye Yinzhu found that her Douqi was filled with Dark Qi, obviously of a dark attribute.
With their bined efforts, their descent slowed considerably, and Zi rank Douqi allowed them to drift gently toward the ground.
As they were about to fall into the sand, they coordinated well and struck downward simultaneously, kicking up the sand below, their bodies lifting from the earth’s reaction, cancelling out all of their downward momentum.
The Black Phoenix’s plexion was still cold; she never once raised her head to look at Ye Yinzhu.
Now that their descent had slowed, she suddenly released her grip on him, lightly pressed on his shoulder, and slipped from his embrace like a wisp of smoke, gracefully falling through the air, truly like the most beautiful Black Phoenix descending towards the ground.
The Black Phoenix broke free from her embrace, which also alerted Ye Yinzhu to the fact that she was his enemy.
His body floated in the air and landed on the other side.
Perhaps because the desert storm had just ended, the temperature in the desert was lower than when they had first arrived, and it was not as scorching hot.
The Black Phoenix stood in the distance, silently watching Ye Yinzhu, her gaze now pletely reverted to its usual iciness.
Ye Yinzhu, too, watched her, but his eyes were much more plex.
He cursed the raging sandstorm under his breath.
If only it had blown for a bit longer.
He was just short of understanding why he felt an unusual sense of kinship toward this Black Phoenix.
The Black Phoenix looked at Ye Yinzhu coldly, but she didn’t seem intent on starting a fight.
Instead, she asked indifferently, “Do you take advantage of every woman you meet?”
Ye Yinzhu was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected her to open their conversation with anything other than the conflict between their two nations, but this was what she brought up.
His face reddened slightly as he replied, “No, you’re mistaken, Black Phoenix.
You know what the situation was like in the tornado.
I couldn’t react in time.
Fighting within the tornado would not have been to either of our advantages.
I’ve been meaning to ask you a question.”
The Black Phoenix coldly said, “What is it?”
Ye Yinzhu said, “Have we met before?
For some reason, ever since I first saw you, I’ve had a strong feeling of familiarity.
My intuition is very keen and hardly wrong.”
The Black Phoenix’s icy gaze wavered slightly, and the indifference on her face faded a bit as if she found it slightly amusing.
She said to Ye Yinzhu, “Is this how you chase girls?
It’s a bit cliché, isn’t it?”
“Uh…
No, that’s not what I meant.
Honestly, I’ve never chased a girl before, so naturally I don’t know what that feels like.
You haven’t answered my question, Black Phoenix,” Ye Yinzhu insisted, now seeming more like the innocent he had been when he first set foot on the Continent rather than the strong mander of the Reaper 500.
The Black Phoenix bowed her head slightly, preventing Ye Yinzhu from seeing her eyes.
She shook her head and said, “No, we have not met before.
Never.”
Ye Yinzhu paused, “Never?
Then where does this feeling of familiarity e from?
You’re not lying to me, are you?”
“Lie to you?
Pfft.
Don’t forget, we are enemies.
Watch out.” The Black Phoenix vanished in a blur, pletely ignoring the fifty-meter distance between them.
In the next moment, she was by Ye Yinzhu’s side, a jet-black light darting towards his throat like a venomous snake.
Confronted with the attack, Ye Yinzhu snapped out of his previous sentiments.
Although surprised by the Black Phoenix’s speed, he didn’t panic; his body swerved to the right as his hand shot out towards her hand.
A chill brushed past the front of Ye Yinzhu’s throat, leaving a cool sensation on his neck as his hand pletely missed.
The Black Phoenix’s figure disappeared in an instant.
A sense of crisis came from behind.
Ye Yinzhu, acting on instinct, stepped forward.
The unique stepping technique of the Zhu Sect unfolded quickly under his feet, creating a series of afterimages as another shadow brushed past him.
So fast, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Was this speed even attainable by humans?
Judging by the color of the Douqi, she should be at the Initial Zi rank as well, so why was her speed so terrifying, and why was there no hint of Douqi light when she attacked?(To be continued, for more information please visit to find out what happens next, there are more chapters and support for the author, support genuine reading!)
