Bai Jie flew over the sea of thunder. White feathers scattered in the air. As far as the eye could see, a brilliant phoenix wing had grown out of the King of Feather Human King's broken left wing. His body was flowing with light and fire at the same time. His face kept changing, sometimes twisted and ferocious, and sometimes angry and hateful.
"Give up. You can never defeat me!" the Feather Human King said.
"I'm not going to defeat you, I'm going to kill you, you bastard!" Li Fengyuan roared.
It was as if a person had been split into two halves and was engaged in a life and death struggle while resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, the King of Feather Men was the one who bore the brunt of the tribulation thunder. This was because the Heavenly Tribulation's descent was almost entirely triggered by his powerful aura. Rings of light, which were like endless waves, collided with the tribulation thunder and canceled it out.
After all, he was a super expert at the peak of the third heavenly tribulation. Although the heavenly tribulation this time was extremely powerful and affected a lot of people, it was still a third heavenly tribulation in essence.
"Your Majesty, if this goes on, the City Amongst the Clouds won't be able to hold on, and all the winged people will die!"
Bai Jie shouted, but it was unknown whether her voice could reach the Feather Human King's ears amidst the deafening thunder.
"Hmm?" The Feather Human King seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned around, and the ferocious expression on his face froze.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. This is for the sake of all winged people!"
Bai Jie took out an exquisite and beautiful crystal dagger. Spiritual light swirled around it. Impressively, it was also a powerful treasure. It was specially used for close combat, and it was a defensive item bestowed to her by the Feather Human King in the past.
She clenched her teeth, stepped forward, and stabbed at the King of Winged Human King's chest.
The King of Feather Men was startled and closed his eyes. His body trembled.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce through his skin, a hand gripped the sharp edge tightly.
Bai Jie raised her head in astonishment. Could it be that Li Fengyuan turned from guest to host? The King of Feather Men suddenly opened his eyes. His left eye was fiery red, and his right eye was azure blue. Both of them revealed the same will.
"No, I still want to live!"
Two faces and two voices overlapped, both filled with the desire to live.
At this moment, they reached an agreement. Then, he raised his hand and grabbed Bai Jie's neck.
"Your Majesty. You are the Winged Human King! "
Bai Jie's eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't help but recall the past.
"I once had the opportunity to ascend, but at that time, Great Xia had just been established, and it was a constant threat to the City Amongst the Clouds. I am the King of the Winged People. Sacrifices must be made. That was why he stayed behind and waited for a new opportunity. I didn't expect that I would wait for a thousand years and miss all the opportunities. Sigh! "
At that time, he sighed. His body seemed to be glowing.
He had always been the genius, the hero, and the king of the Winged Human Tribe. No matter what kind of halo he had, it wouldn't be excessive. He had never disappointed anyone, but unexpectedly …
Now that he thought about it, there seemed to be a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. Was there regret in his heart?
Yes, he regretted it.
The young man didn't fear death because he didn't understand how terrifying it was. As his lifespan slowly came to an end, his body and soul deteriorated day by day. It was like a giant hole that swallowed all joy, and nothing could fill it.
If mortals could use fate to comfort themselves and obtain a psychological balance, he couldn't.
"If I had chosen to ascend at that time, I would have already embarked on a new journey in the Heavenly Dao."
This thought continued to linger, but it only increased the pain.
Now, he finally saw an opportunity to make up for his regret and start all over again. No matter what, he couldn't let go.
"I'm sorry. This time, I want to live for myself. Go!"
The Winged Human King slowly released his hand. Although he was a little ashamed, he was full of determination.
He would devour the phoenix and obtain the new life that he dreamed of. Then, he would ascend to the Heavenly Dao.
Everything in this world would have nothing to do with him.
"Your Majesty!"
Bai Jie felt that the power of the tribulation thunder was getting stronger and stronger. If she stayed any longer, she would be in danger of dying. She looked back at the sky full of wind and thunder. How long could the City Amongst the Clouds last?
The dagger in her hand fell. She suddenly spread her wings and arms, and a hazy white light appeared all over her body. The light replaced her torso and limbs, and a white human figure blurred.
"What are you going to do?" The Winged Human King was shocked.
"Your Majesty, you taught me to sacrifice. How could you forget it? But you've done enough for the Winged Human Tribe. Now, it's my turn! "
Bai Jie's face was calm. Suddenly, a bright light burst out.
A white sun rose in the sky. Wherever the light shone, the rolling thunder was pushed away.
The world became quiet.
"Bai Jie!" the Winged Human King cried out in alarm.
The Winged Human King's wings were broken, and he was on the verge of collapse. The flesh on his front was almost completely peeled off, and the spark in his chest was exposed. The shock and anger on his face faded, and a trace of confusion appeared.
Looking into the distance, the City Guarding Formation was already on the verge of collapse. Streaks of light flew over from the horizon, and they were all the officials of the King of Donglu's Mansion.
After a short period of silence, the thunder roared again. The battle between light and fire also stopped. Although light was far superior to fire and had the upper hand, it was difficult to extinguish the spark so easily.
Bai Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Li Fengyuan, if we continue to fight, we will definitely perish together."
As he spoke, he actually recovered his usual elegance.
"Then let's perish together!"
Although he wanted to live, he was not afraid of death. After Nirvana, Li Fengyuan had a deeper understanding of the Way of Life and Death. Suddenly, he felt that the strong will that was firmly suppressing him had retreated.
"Life is better than death, isn't it?" Bai Chen muttered to himself, "I have a request. If you are willing to agree, I will not fight with you anymore. You will obtain my power, and you will be able to calmly pass the heavenly tribulation."
"What request?"
"Protect the City Amongst the Clouds for me."
"What did you say?" Li Fengyuan was surprised.
"I will bear all the sins, and they have never harmed you."
As the flame swayed, Li Fengyuan recalled what he had seen and heard when he was wandering in the city.
The white fountain under the sunlight, the beautiful music reverberating in the air, the featherman children laughing and playing with him in groups, the gentle scolding of their mothers …
At that time, he was full of worries and did not take these scenes to heart. But at this moment, they suddenly became clear, and the thunder seemed ethereal.
"You are playing tricks again. Still want to shake me? "
"These are all real. Everything is worth it. "
Bai Chen seemed to be talking to Li Fengyuan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Under the continuous bombardment of lightning, Bai Chen's will faded, and the flame quickly rose.
"Wait, I haven't promised you yet!" Li Fengyuan restrained the rising flame.
"Please protect them, I beg you!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"
"You are a benevolent phoenix."
"Humph, if it were my first father, he would definitely not agree to you. Even if I agreed, I was just fooling you. "
"Thank you."
Bai Chen said sincerely. Finally, he opened his palm. There was a pure white feather in it, and he wanted to murmur something. Flame spewed out of his body. It instantly swallowed his body. The white feather drifted.
In the raging flame, the wings spread again, and they were already glorious phoenix wings. With a resounding phoenix cry, the phoenix rushed against the lightning and flew into the depths of the tribulation clouds.
"He actually succeeded?"
The Shadow Cloud Crane King was surprised. He had originally planned to break through the City Amongst the Clouds and then deal with the King of Feathermen, but he did not expect the phoenix to successfully counterattack.
"He has helped us eliminate a great disaster. The White Dragon King will be here soon, and then he will definitely break through the city!" King Donglu said.
"What about the Feathermen in the city?"
"It will be best if they die in the tribulation lightning!"
The talent of the mutants was really terrifying, far surpassing that of ordinary humans and demons. The Feathermen were even more outstanding among them. They must eliminate any future troubles, and slaughter the city and destroy the country.
The experts of the Feathermen had already given up on pushing the City Amongst the Clouds, and were fighting with the officials of the King of Donglu's mansion. Their power was interlinked, and they formed a formation, forming a geometric pattern of interweaving light in the sky.
However, with the Shadow Cloud Crane King and the King of Donglu holding the line, defeat was only a matter of time, and their king was already gone.
After a while, a large ship broke through the sky. The pure white body of the ship was somewhat similar to the Red Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, but it had the complex cloud patterns of the Cloud State's style. It was one of the few siege weapons in the world, the White Dragon King.
Still a thousand miles away, the dragon's mouth had already opened, and specks of light gathered. The light was condensed to the extreme, and a beam of light whistled through the air, like the roar of a white dragon.
King Donglu raised his head to take a look. Unknowingly, the tribulation clouds had already begun to gather, but it was a pity that it had not been able to completely destroy the City Amongst the Clouds. However, at the moment, all that was left was this attack.
"Quickly block it!"
The experts of the Feathermen worked together to form a light barrier, but it was instantly penetrated, and the City Amongst the Clouds was about to be broken.
A bright light flashed in the sky, and the speed was so fast that even the Shadow Cloud Crane King was stunned. "Phoenix?"
It was the phoenix flying over, and he stepped on the City Amongst the Clouds with one foot, and his magnificent wings covered the city. The beam of light bombarded his body, and scattered into streams of light that filled the sky, but he was not injured at all.
A phoenix cry rang out, and a glorious color dyed the heavens.
Everyone's gazes were attracted by it, and they stopped what they were doing.
As a member of the Feathermen, the Shadow Cloud Crane King was the most moved. Originally, the phoenix had not even passed the tribulation, and he had already developed feelings of admiration for it. Now, it almost turned into reverence, and he bowed down to it. Could this be the legendary Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix?
King Donglu gave him a look, and the Shadow Cloud Crane King suddenly came to his senses. He tried his best to calm himself down, and asked, "May I know how I should address you, fellow cultivator?"
"Li Fengyuan, Just Now, thank you for your help."
"Fellow cultivator is the elder of my generation, it is only natural for you to lend a hand. There is no need to be so polite." The Shadow Cloud Crane King quickly declined modestly, and then asked, "What do you mean by this, fellow cultivator?"
"I have already promised the Feathermen King, Bai Chen, that I will succeed the position of the Feathermen King, and protect the City Amongst the Clouds on his behalf."
Li Fengyuan lowered his head slightly, and his pair of phoenix-like eyes flickered with brilliance. No one knew what he was thinking.
"What did you say?!"
It was not just the Shadow Cloud Crane King, even the Feathermen were shocked. If not for Li Fengyuan blocking the White Dragon King's attack Just Now, they would almost have started scolding him.
"Fellow cultivator, you really know how to joke. Didn't Bai Chen die in your hands? Furthermore, you are not a Featherman, so how did you become the Feathermen King? "
"Bai Chen reaped what he sowed, and has already been executed. If not for his repeated requests for the position of the Feathermen King, I would not have bothered with it either. However, since I have made a promise, I will naturally fulfill it. I am already very tired today, fellow cultivators, please leave! "
