Being able to take care of the Blazing Fire Clan martial practitioners who had come knocking on their doors while also having to awkwardly smile at Su Yun, Green Dragon Mountain felt both pain and happiness.
They could not be blamed for not having the strength of character. It was really that Yan Zhaoge's earlier momentum of sweeping through the three clans alone had caused Green Dragon Mountain to deeply realise that the two sides were very possibly not on the same level at all.
Admitting defeat in this situation had nothing to do with one's strength of character.
… At least, this was how the people of Green Dragon Mountain comforted themselves.
They did not know if others believed it or not, but they believed it without a doubt.
As for the Blood Cloud Clan and the Thunder Rumbling Clan, they could only feel pain right now.
While they wished that they could give those of the Blood Cloud Clan a good beating, now that they were fellow sufferers, grasshoppers tied to the same rope, those of the Thunder Rumbling Clan could only suppress their fury.
The Thunder Rumbling Clan thought that if Yan Zhaoge wanted to pursue, it would most likely be those of the Blood Cloud Clan.
After all, Yan Zhaoge already had old enmity with the Blood Cloud Clan. The western expedition this time had also been led and organised by the Blood Cloud Clan, being the main culprit.
The Blood Cloud Clan had the same thoughts as well. However, it was impossible for them to flee to the territory of the Thunder Rumbling Clan. Fleeing back to their clan and borrowing the power of the Blue Bird was already their final hope.
Although after having seen Yan Zhaoge's strength, no one believed that the Blue Bird had the ability to block him, it was still a life-saving straw at the end of the day, causing the already despairing Lu Ming and the others to grit their teeth and advance. Otherwise, they might immediately collapse.
Behind him, a sword light lit up in the western sky. In the blink of an eye, it had caught up.
The majestic roar of the dragon was like the Soul Chasing Talisman of the Yama King at this moment, causing the martial practitioners of the Blood Cloud Clan and the Thunder Rumbling Clan to lose all courage.
Gazing over, the Chief of the Thunder Rumbling Clan saw Yan Zhaoge's sword-light turn, indeed chasing after the people of the Blood Cloud Clan.
However, before the people of the Thunder Rumbling Clan could heave a sigh of relief, sword Qi and saber light soared into the skies before them. Xue Fei, Ah Hu, Feng Yunsheng, Ying Longtu and the others stood before them.
Xue Fei turned to look at Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu, "It's mainly for the two of you to temper your martial arts. Do what you can."
Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu both nodded, while Ah Hu chuckled, "They've all been beaten by Young Master to the point that the entire camp is filled with wounded soldiers. They won't be able to cause any big waves."
The Thunder Rumbling Clan's Sect Leader was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end. The group of Thunder Rumbling Clan martial artists were also furious.
With Yan Zhaoge having beaten them to the point of fleeing like rats, it was already tragic enough. Could it be that a few random qi cultivators would be able to do as they pleased in the Floating Life World?
The people of the Thunder Rumbling Clan rushed forward in disbelief. But soon, they realized that they had no choice but to believe it!
Perhaps Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others were indeed not as powerful as Yan Zhaoge who was covered in powerful treasures.
However, after truly clashing with them, the demonic bloodline cultivators of the Floating Life World discovered that Xue Fei, Ah Hu and the others had not used their full strength back in the Furan Kingdom's Kanghe City.
Therefore, those of the Thunder Rumbling Clan who had met with a wall once more hated the Blood Cloud Clan to the point of no return.
Regarding Lu Ming and the other Blood Cloud Clan martial practitioners having to face Yan Zhaoge's personal pursuit, the Thunder Rumbling Clan martial practitioners could only feel delighted to the extreme as even the current predicament before them no longer left them feeling so despondent.
Meanwhile, the Blood Cloud Clan martial practitioners naturally looked like they had lost their parents.
Now, the clear cry of a phoenix resounded on the path ahead of the Blood Cloud Clan martial practitioners.
Hearing that familiar cry of a Blue Bird, not only did Lu Ming and the others not feel joyful, their expressions instead changed greatly.
In the distance, a green silhouette rose into the air, spreading its wings as it possessed even more majestic power than when Lu Ming and the others had set up the Blue Bird Crying Heaven Formation.
The wings of the massive silhouette of the Blue Bird seemed to extend into space, the winds and clouds of the heavens and the earth stirring as they flapped their wings.
Below that Blue Bird stood a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe, his pupils completely green as numerous patterns of light flickered on the surface of his skin with bright light.
He was one of the three strongest people who stood at the peak of the Floating Life World, the former Heaven's favoured son of the Blood Cloud Clan and the current 'Phoenix Demon' Shao Fengting.
Shao Fengting looked calmly at Lu Ming, "Senior apprentice-brother ah, in all my years of life, this is still the first time I have seen you in such a sorry state."
Lu Ming's expression was ugly to the extreme. Currently heavily injured, how could they be a match for the Phoenix Demon of the Three Demons?
Even if he too awakened his bloodline and became a semi-demonised martial practitioner, he would still not be able to stand against this Shao Fengting.
Shao Fengting chuckled, "Do you think that I would be foolish enough to attack a clan with the Blue Bird presiding over it? Waiting here in the West Domain for you to return would be the best choice. "
"Even if you won, you would still be complacent and let down your guard."
"And if you had lost, you would have ended up in your current state, having fallen right into my hands."
Beneath the wings of the Blue Bird, numerous powerful auras surged as semi-demonised martial practitioners appeared one after another.
They resembled wild beasts congregating by the side of their king, following the movements of the 'Phoenix Demon' Shao Fengting.
Looking at Lu Ming and the others who had appeared before them, a bloodthirsty, brutal aura exuded from the eyes of the group of semi-demonised martial practitioners.
Looking at Lu Ming, Shao Fengting tilted his neck slightly, "Still, with your three clans joining hands to attack the West Domain, how could you have lost to a single Green Dragon Mountain? That's really a little too useless. While you are trash who do not dare to awaken your bloodline, the same goes for Green Dragon Mountain. "
"Even if they all awakened their bloodline, they should still not be able to fight one against three?"
"Could it be that there is still a Green Scaly Dragon hidden within Green Dragon Mountain?"
"Or could it be that the strength of that 'Jade Crane' of the Snow Crane Sect far surpasses our predictions?"
Shao Fengting's gaze flickered slightly, "Being too far away, even with my sensory abilities, I cannot be certain. Still, I feel that there are extremely powerful energy fluctuations where you are battling. It is not the power of bloodline that we cultivate in, instead seeming like the attacks of qi cultivators."
He smiled slightly, "Whatever the case, you have still walked right into my trap at the end of the day."
The silhouetted Blue Bird flapped its wings, a terrifying storm sweeping over towards Lu Ming and the others.
Numerous streaks of green light formed a net, first enveloping Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly as he heard Shao Fengting say, "Senior apprentice-brother, leave your life behind for now. It will still be of use against the Blue Bird back at the clan."
Now, a sword-light lit up in the distance, completely ignoring Shao Fengting and the other semi-demonised martial practitioners as it still chopped towards Lu Ming.
Frowning, Shao Fengting swept out with his palm, a wing of the Blue Bird rising to block the sword-light.
"Go back and tell Yu He that I, Shao Fengting, will be taking the people of the Blood Cloud Clan. There is no need for her to worry about me letting Lu Ming and the others off," Shao Fengting said mildly, "I will not interfere in the matters of the Blazing Fire Clan and the Thunder Rumbling Clan …"
Before his words had landed, a massive rumbling suddenly resounded in the horizon!
A massive purple orb hung high in the horizon.
Infinite, endless thunderbolts mightily descended!
The surrounding world was completely enveloped within a sea of thunder and lightning.
The thunder and lightning had already descended in just a single instant.
Shao Fengting's calm and composed expression had not even had the time to fade as it was changing into one of utter shock when he was already devoured by the thunderbolts along with the silhouetted Blue Bird above his head!
The terrifying thunder only resounded for an instant before disappearing in the next instant.
However, chaotic crackling sounds still resounded between the heavens and the earth as numerous lightning snakes shuttled about unceasingly, not dissipating for a long time.
Situated within this world, Lu Ming and the others could only feel their entire bodies being electrified, numb and stiff as they found it hard to move.
They were all wide-eyed and tongue-tied as they saw that the 'Phoenix Demon' Shao Fengting who had still been awe-inspiring just a moment ago had already completely vanished without a trace, as though he had never appeared in the first place.
However, that dissipating qi of blood and the deathly qi of life still indicated one thing.
One of the exalted Three Demons, a peak expert of the Floating Life World, Shao Fengting, had been directly hacked to death by a single bolt of thunder! (To be continued.)
