The name of the Fire Wood Forest came from the Phoenix Volcano in the middle of the forest. The volcano would erupt once every hundred years, but this primitive forest had never been damaged. This was all thanks to the efforts of the Feng people. The reason why ordinary people would not live here was not only because they were afraid of the volcano, but at the same time, there were also a large number of ferocious beasts living in this forest. While walking through the rugged forest, Feng Nu introduced the various animals in the forest to Nian Bing and the rest.
"Sister, these animals are so ferocious, why didn't they disturb us?" They had already walked for half a day, and it felt like they had walked for a long time, but the Fire Wood Forest was still boundless.
When Feng Nu heard Lan Chen's question, she smiled and said, "Although animals do not have the intelligence of humans, they are still very intelligent. In this forest, we, the Taunting Tribe, are the kings of the forest. No matter what kind of animals, once they feel the aura of the Feng people on us, they will all avoid us. Naturally, they will not come and offend us. "
Long Ling giggled and said, "So animals also bully the weak and fear the strong! Sister Feng Nu, how much longer do we have to walk before we reach the Parasol Tree Forest where the Feng people live! "
Feng Nu smiled and said, "We will be there soon. Our speed is very fast. I don't know how long this primitive forest has been growing for. Although it makes people feel that there is no end, in fact, behind the giant tree is our Parasol Tree Forest."
Feng Nu was speaking when Nian Bing's expression suddenly changed. She looked forward and shouted, "Who is it?"
Three figures flashed like lightning in the forest. After a few graceful rises and falls, they had already appeared ten zhang away from the group.
They were three young men, and all of them were men. The leader was as tall as Nian Bing, and he had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He wore ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth that couldn't conceal his heroic aura, and he had short fiery red hair that stood on end. When he landed and stood still. His gaze was already fixed on Feng Nu's body. His eyes were constantly fluctuating, filled with longing. It was also filled with some indescribable negative emotions.
Feng Nu was also somewhat stunned. Looking at this handsome young man, her face was somewhat stiff. "Feng Ying."
Feng Ying's expression was complicated as he shifted his gaze from Feng Nu to the others. His voice was slightly trembling. "Feng Nu, you're back. You're finally back. I thought I would never see you again."
Feng Nu forced a smile and said, "The Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony is about to begin. As a member of the Feng people, how could I not return? I'll have to trouble you to inform the elders that I've returned with my mother. "
Feng Ying was stunned. "Your mother? Didn't you lose both your parents when you were young?"
"No, not only does she have a mother, but she also has a father. Looking at your age, you might not know who I am, but your parents definitely know who I am. Go back and tell the Elders that Feng Yan has brought Lan Chen, Feng Nu, and a few friends back to participate in the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony. We'll wait here. " The one who spoke was Yu Ruyan. Looking at the three young clansmen in front of her, breathing in the familiar scent of the Firewood Forest, her eyes were somewhat moist. After being separated for several decades, she had finally returned home. Her feelings were several times deeper than Feng Nu's.
Feng Ying had already awoken from the ecstasy of seeing Feng Nu. He looked somewhat doubtfully at Yu Ruyan, who did not seem much older than Feng Nu. Frowning slightly, he whispered a few words into the ears of his companions. One of the Feng people quickly retreated, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Feng Ying only had eyes for Feng Nu. Although there were six people in Feng Nu's group, he could only distinguish the genders of the other five. The moment his companions left, he appeared in front of Feng Nu in a flash. He raised his hand to grab Feng Nu. "You're finally back. Do you know how much I've missed you these days? Feng Nu, don't worry. No matter what mistakes you've made, I'll help you. Don't leave again. You know how I feel. Your training should have ended long ago. I don't know how many times I've wanted to go out to look for you, but my father never allowed me to. " His affectionate gesture had already told everyone a lot of things, but when he pulled, the Phoenix Girl avoided it without a trace.
"Feng Ying, don't be like this. I'll naturally settle my own matters with the Elders." Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing nervously. Nian Bing's expression did not change, but the stillness in her eyes made Feng Nu feel uneasy.
Feng Ying's expression changed slightly. He raised his hand again to grab Phoenix Girl's hand. However, this time, Phoenix Girl retreated even more obviously. With a single step, she was already one zhang away. Feng Ying frowned as he looked at her and said, "Phoenix Girl, what's wrong with Nian? We've been engaged for a long time. We were just waiting for you to come back from your training to officially get married. I heard from Grandfather that you've fallen in love with another man outside. I don't believe it. We grew up together. You can't possibly fall in love with another man, right? "
If Nian Bing's eyes were still a moment ago, then at this moment, his eyes were ice cold. He did not speak, nor did he do anything. He just stood there. Long Ling took the initiative to grab Nian Bing's hand. But at this moment, she was shocked to find that Nian Bing's hand was as cold as his eyes. At this moment, Nian Bing waited for Feng Nu's reply.
"Feng Ying, listen to me." Feng Nu said anxiously. He naturally noticed the change in Nian Bing's expression. "Feng Ying, I came back this time for two things. One is to participate in the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony and help the Feng people get through this difficult time. Another thing, the other thing is to get rid of the marriage contract with you. Although we grew up together, I've always treated you as a friend and not a lover. I'm sorry, Elder Feng Xu is right. I've indeed fallen in love with someone else. He's my true lover. After this ceremony, I'll leave with him and focus on being his wife. "
Feng Ying's body trembled. His eyes immediately became agitated and he staggered back a step. "No, I don't believe this is true. You must be lying to me, right? We already have a marriage contract. How can you fall in love with someone else? You're lying to me. You must be lying to me. " Feng Nu was the number one beauty in the younger generation of the Feng people, and Feng Ying was the most outstanding man in the younger generation. They grew up together, and Feng Ying had always treated Feng Nu as his future wife.
In contrast to Feng Ying's agitation, Nian Bing's gaze became gentle again. She shook her head in self-mockery and thought to herself, What's wrong with me? Am I actually doubting Feng Nu's feelings for me? Although she didn't tell me that she already has a fiancé, as long as her heart is with me. Then what's the point of everything in the past?
Feng Nu lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Feng Ying. I know you've been very good to me, but I've really fallen in love with someone else. He's my husband, and I'll only love him in my life. I know it's cruel to say this to you. However, it's better to deal with the pain quickly. Since I saw you as soon as I returned, I'll make things clear to you so that there won't be any misunderstandings in the future. I'm sorry, Feng Ying. "
"Sorry? What's the use of saying sorry? Don't tell me you haven't grown up, and I've placed all my feelings on you? So many girls in the clan have confessed to me, but I've never overstepped my boundaries. Because I already have you in my heart, in my eyes. There's no one who can compare to you. Sorry? Can my love for you be made up for by these three words? "Feng Ying roared at Feng Nu in a crazed manner.
Nian Bing moved. He slowly walked to Feng Nu's side and reached out a firm arm to hug Feng Nu's shoulder, "Love cannot be measured by anything else. I hope you can respect Feng Nu's choice and not make things difficult for her."
Feng Ying's expression gradually turned cold, his cold gaze landing on Nian Bing's handsome face, "Is the one she loves you?"
Nian Bing nodded and said, "That's right, I am her husband."
Feng Ying took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Alright, I want to duel with you."
Feng Nu's expression changed, and she quickly appeared in front of Nian Bing, "No, Feng Ying, don't be like this, alright?" Her eyes were slightly red. Although she didn't love Feng Ying, but since she was young, how could she forget the care and concern he had shown her? She had always seen him as her best friend.
Without waiting for Feng Nu to speak, Nian Bing patted Feng Nu's shoulder lightly, "Feng Nu, this is between us two men."
Feng Nu's body trembled, and she turned her head to look at Nianbing. Nian Bing nodded lightly at her, and a trace of sadness appeared in Feng Nu's eyes, "I'm sorry, Bing, I, I …"
Nian Bing smiled, and the hand holding her shoulder tightened, "You don't have to say anymore, what you said to Feng Ying just now has already told me everything. Don't worry, I won't hurt him. Love is not wrong, but it's a pity that he loves someone who doesn't love him back."
Feng Nu nodded lightly, and turned to walk to the side. If she was asked who she was most familiar with, it would be Nian Bing. As a young person, facing such a challenge, Nian Bing would never back down.
Feng Ying's lungs almost exploded from anger. Looking at Nian Bing's attitude, it was obvious that she didn't put him in her eyes. He had always thought highly of himself, and among the Feng people, only he and Feng Nu had the highest chance of becoming the next Elder.
Nian Bing raised her head to look at Feng Ying, and said, "Is it here?"
Feng Ying coldly stared into Nian Bing's eyes, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't see anything from Nian Bing's eyes. It was as deep as the ocean, but at this time, his heart had already lost all reason due to the intense jealousy, and he said in a deep voice, "It's here. If you win, I will cancel the engagement with Feng Nu, but if you lose, please leave Feng Nu's side. "His good upbringing from childhood allowed him to maintain some degree of clarity at this time.
Nian Bing smiled indifferently, and said, "Alright, then it's here. However, there are some things that I have to say first. First of all, I am not fighting with you for Feng Nu, because there is no need to fight. Feng Nu is not a commodity, she is a person, and she has the right to choose who she loves. I am fighting with you to let you understand that I am stronger than you, and more qualified than you to be Feng Nu's lover, and more capable of protecting her. Secondly, I want to tell you that you cannot win against me. " The strong self-confidence caused Nian Bing's aura to soar, he just stood there and looked at Feng Ying, his body as steady as a mountain.
The Feng people who came with Feng Ying thought that Nian Bing had gone crazy, of course he knew how strong Feng Ying was, but Yu Ruyan and the others who came with Nian Bing were not surprised at all, because they knew that Nian Bing had the right to speak like this, and also had the strength to do so. This was a battle between men, none of them would interfere, because it concerned both sides' dignity.
Nian Bing did not summon his seven divine blades, he just stood there leisurely, looking at Feng Ying in front of him. In order to defeat his love rival in front of his beloved Feng Nu, Feng Ying used his full strength right from the start, the Nine Leave Dou Qi surged out, and in the sound of tearing silk, a pair of huge Royal Feathers appeared behind him. When Feng Nu left to train, he was still unable to use this ability, but in these few years, Feng Ying had improved greatly. With the appearance of the Royal Feathers, golden Phoenix flames surged out, the surrounding temperature rose significantly, the plants withered, and a simple open space appeared between the two.
Nian Bing still did not move, looking at Feng Ying, his heart was unusually calm, no matter who the opponent was, Nian Bing would not underestimate them, a faint seven-colored light had already appeared around his body.
Feng Ying did not draw the long sword on his back, his body was under the effect of the Royal Feathers, floating a foot above the ground. "Since you don't use a weapon, I won't either." His figure flashed, leaving behind a string of afterimages in the air, he arrived in front of Nian Bing, and punched at Nianbing's face without any fancy moves. This seemingly powerful punch, in fact, Feng Ying only used 30% of his strength, this punch was just to test the waters.
Nian Bing did not move, nor did he use magic to defend, he just watched Feng Ying's punch hit his face.
With a bang, Nian Bing staggered back three steps, only then did he stabilize his body, his head tilted to the side because of the punch. No one present expected him to be hit by Feng Ying, Feng Nu, Long Ling, and Lan Chen all cried out in surprise at almost the same time.
Nian Bing slowly turned his head, nodded to Feng Ying, and said: "Don't hold back, come."
Feng Ying looked at Nian Bing with a dignified expression, of course he knew how much strength was in his punch, although 30% of his strength was not enough, but it was enough to smash a huge piece of granite into pieces, and the opponent only retreated a few steps before stopping. At the moment when Nian Bing's face came into close contact with his face, he clearly felt that Nian Bing did not have any protective dou qi, but his skin was very tough, the originally solid punch was weakened by more than 30% the moment it came into contact with his skin, moreover, the fire attribute of his Nine Abandonment Dou Qi did not seem to have any effect.
Feng Ying rushed up again, this time the power of his attack was increased to 70%, the sky was filled with palm shadows, almost covering all the possible escape routes around Nian Bing's body. This was a move that Feng Ying was very good at, it was called Phoenix Shadow Palm, although the attack power was scattered, but once it came into contact with the opponent's body, the scattered dou qi would instantly condense together, causing heavy damage to the opponent.
Nian Bing still did not dodge, and all of Feng Ying's illusionary palms landed on empty air. When the two bodies froze at the same time, Feng Ying's right palm landed on Nian Bing's chest. With a boom, Nian Bing was sent flying by the enormous Nine Leave Battle Aura. He only stopped after crashing into a large tree in the distance. His chest had already been charred black.
Sliding down from the tree, Nian Bing did not fall, but stood on the ground, not even looking at the burnt area on his chest, step by step towards Feng Ying, and coldly said: "Again, is this all you've got?"
Nian Bing's super strong defense aroused Feng Ying's strong fighting spirit, fiercely roaring, his body swayed in the air, the originally solid body instantly became illusory, like a cloud of fire, he rushed towards Nian Bing. Illusionary Phoenix Demon Body, the third transformation of the Nine Phoenix Transformations.
Seeing Feng Ying pouncing towards himself, Nian Bing did not take the beating in vain this time, the seven-colored light around his body lit up at the same time, the light expanded in an instant, and when Feng Ying's red cloud entered the seven-colored light, the red light around his body instantly weakened, and when he arrived in front of Nian Bing, he had already returned to his original form, a fist landing on Nian Bing's chest, but this time, Nian Bing was not beaten back, only coldly looking at him. "Do you understand?"
Feng Ying's face was ashen as he looked at Nian Bing in front of him, he understood, but at the same time, he did not understand. What he did not understand was how Nian Bing broke the Third Transformation of the Phoenix that he had painstakingly cultivated. He understood. He was simply not the opponent of this man in front of him. The opponent only relied on defense, and broke three of his attacks. If he were to attack him, then, would he be able to block it?
Feng Ying looked at Nian Bing with a complicated expression, he withdrew his fist, took three steps back, and took a deep breath. He nodded vigorously, saying: "I understand. Perhaps Feng Nu has made the right choice. Perhaps, you are more suitable for her than I am. "
Nian Bing said: "You understand the difference in power, but you still do not understand a woman's heart. A girl may be attracted to a powerful man, but it does not mean that whoever is powerful will be able to obtain her true love. Love. There is no reason for it. Your love for Feng Nu is not wrong, so I have not attacked you. If you want to challenge me again, I will welcome you at any time. However, I'm afraid that you will have to wait until you have broken through to the Seventh Transformation of the Phoenix. "
Feng Ying was a little dejected as he looked at Nian Bing. Nian Bing didn't look much older than him, but why was the gap in their strength so huge? Of course, he did not know that Nian Bing had suffered a lot in order to achieve what he had today. He had walked on the edge of life and death countless times. Feng Ying was very talented, but he had never experienced real hardships. How could he compare to Nian Bing?
While Nian Bing and Feng Ying were fighting, in the parasol tree forest of the Feng people, two elders of the Feng people were looking at each other worriedly.
Feng Kong said: "Second brother, are we really going to start the ceremony like this? Although Ying 'er already has the ability to break through to the Third Transformation, I'm afraid this ceremony … "
Feng Xu sighed. "Then what do you want me to do? What can I do if I don't participate like this? I will take responsibility for the decline of the Feng people. If it was not for the lack of outstanding talents in the clan, how could we have fallen to this state? Perhaps I was wrong back then. If Yan 'er was still here, everything would not have turned out like this. "
Feng Kong fell silent. From what he knew, Feng Xu had always been a stubborn elder brother, but he actually admitted his mistakes like this. All these changes were because of the upcoming ceremony! Feng Xu looked much older than before. He was already mentally and physically exhausted from thinking about how to complete the ceremony every day.
Feng Xu glanced at Feng Kong. "There are no other good ideas now. This is all we can do. Alright, you don't have to worry too much. Perhaps our ancestor, the phoenix, will understand our difficulties and won't cause such a huge uproar during the ceremony. Actually, did you know? When I chased Feng Yan away, I had a huge internal struggle. But at that time, I had no choice but to do so in front of everyone. "
Feng Kong smiled. "Others may not understand, but do you think I don't? You led the team to chase them down to protect them! Later on, you found that they could protect themselves, so you left. Sigh, both Feng Yan and her daughter are so outstanding, much more outstanding than we expected. If the clan didn't have so many rules, perhaps we would welcome the ceremony with much more ease. Even I didn't expect Yan 'er to improve so much and reach the Fifth Transformation. How many years has it been since the Feng people produced a talent, but she was chased away by the clan rules. "
"Report." A young voice sounded from outside. Inside the room, Feng Xu frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Elders, there are a few people outside. Feng Nu is with them. One of them said that Feng Yan brought her daughter, Lan Chen, Feng Nu, and a few friends to participate in the ceremony."
Feng Xu and Feng Kong were both shocked. After a brief daze, Feng Kong's face lit up with joy. "Yan 'er is back, and so is Feng Nu. That's great, that's great. They never forgot about the Feng people! They finally came back at the most crucial time. Second brother, now that they're back, all our problems are solved! "
Feng Xu's excitement was different from Feng Kong's. He frowned as if thinking about something. After hearing Feng Kong's words, he said, "No, I'm afraid it's not that simple. If they came back to help us, why would they bring outsiders back? Let's go take a look. If she and Feng Nu really turned back, then we can rest assured! "
Feng Ying leaned against a tree and stared blankly at the sky. The short battle had completely shattered his confidence. He never thought that he would lose to someone like this. He also never thought that there would be such a powerful existence in the world. But the truth was right in front of him. Nian Bing's strength gave him a new understanding.
Nian Bing also stood to the side. The Feng people were waiting with Yu Ruyan and the others to report back. Feng Nu held Nian Bing's hand and stood there with her head lowered. She looked like a little girl who did something wrong, not daring to look into Nian Bing's eyes.
Long Ling and Lan Chen stood to the side. Yu Ruyan was introducing the various plants in the forest to Halogen. She didn't seem to notice Nian Bing and Feng Nu's situation.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Nian Bing pulled the Phoenix Girl's hand and brought her to him. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he looked at her slender, jade-like hand.
"I'm sorry." Feng Nu seemed to have gathered her courage to say these three words.
"Don't say sorry. You've said these three words too many times today. I just want to know why you didn't tell me. Back then, you refused to accept my feelings. Other than the rules of the Feng people, it was also because of this engagement. "Nian Bing's voice was very calm. But in Feng Nu's ears, it sounded like sarcasm.
Feng Nu gently nodded and said, "Feng Ying and I grew up together. In the eyes of the clan, we were a match made in heaven. When we were only 10 years old, Elder Feng Xu made the decision to set up a marriage contract with us. At that time, I thought that there was no difference between husband and wife and friends. No one had ever told me about the outside world. I thought of Feng Ying as an elder brother and a friend. But when I really went out and started my own experience. I gradually found out that I was wrong. Especially after I met you, I found out how wrong I was. Friendship and love are completely different. But I knew my responsibility in the clan, so I didn't dare and couldn't accept you. But so many things happened later. Even I didn't expect things to develop like that. At that time, I knew that when true love comes, running away is useless. That's why I became your Phoenix Girl. When you turned into a zombie and went to the Godly Mainland, I even forgot about my engagement. Do you know why I didn't tell you? In fact, in my heart, you are a person who loves to rush forward. Maybe it's because of the hatred for my parents when I was young, so I didn't dare to tell you. Although I don't love Feng Ying, he is my best friend. I was afraid that you would come to the Feng people and get hurt because of a conflict with our clansmen. I was also afraid that you would kill him. Bing, thank you. You are more mature than before. You are no longer the Nian Bing who would rush forward because of hatred. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "At the beginning, I was indeed a little angry because you hid such an important thing from me. But when you told Feng Ying that you were my woman, the anger in my heart had already disappeared. The past is the past. You are mine now, and you will also be mine in the future. As long as the love between us doesn't change, no matter how big the storm is, we can always endure it, right? Feng Ying is indeed worthy of being your friend. From his appearance to our battle, I have been observing him. To be honest, he is jealous of me, and I am also jealous of him! I am jealous that he was able to grow up with you. But from his actions, I found that his character is simple and untainted. How could I hurt such a person? Alright, that's all in the past. Now, what we have to face is the elders of your clan. "
As soon as Nian Bing finished speaking, her scattered spiritual power had already locked onto the dozen figures that were quickly approaching. Although they were still a few dozen meters away, Nian Bing's spiritual power could clearly determine their movements. From the aura of the two people in front, it was Elder Feng Xu and Elder Feng Kong.
The aura in the forest flowed. After a few breaths, the dozen figures had already arrived nearby and passed through the dense forest. The first to appear was Elder Feng Xu of the Feng people. Feng Kong followed closely behind. The rest were all Feng people that Nian Bing had never seen before. They were all dressed in the same clothes, which couldn't be more ordinary, but they were all restrained. It was obvious that they were experts. As expected, none of the Feng people were mediocre!
When Yu Ruyan saw the two elders appear, she immediately stopped talking with Halogen. Feng Xu and Feng Kong naturally saw her as well. At the same time, they also saw Feng Nu, Lan Chen, Long Ling, Halogen, and Nian Bing.
When the two elders saw Feng Nu and Nian Bing holding hands, their expressions couldn't help but change slightly and they stopped in their tracks.
Yu Ruyan took a few steps forward and stopped five meters away from the two elders. She respectfully bowed to them. "Feng Yan has brought his daughters Lan Chen and Feng Nu to participate in the clan's grand ceremony."
Feng Xu said indifferently, "I thought that you would never set foot on this land again. I didn't expect that you would still come back. Did you come back just to participate in the clan's grand ceremony? "
Yu Ruyan sighed softly. "I'm sorry, elder. I know that my choice back then hurt you, but I had no choice. Elder Feng Xu, I've misunderstood you in the past. Thank you for raising my daughter. Although we've been separated for 20 years, now that I know that my daughter is still alive, let's forget about our past grudges. " Not only did Feng Xu play an important role in Yu Ruyan's growth and raise her, but he also raised her daughter, Feng Nu! Although Feng Xu's actions caused them to be separated for 20 years, Yu Ruyan had already abandoned all hatred in her heart. She came back this time just to help the Feng people complete the ceremony.
Feng Xu looked at Yu Ruyan in surprise, then at Feng Nu. "You already know?"
Yu Ruyan nodded. "Yes, elder. You hid it from me for so long!"
Feng Xu said coldly, "If your daughter really died in my hands back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't be here today."
Yu Ruyan shook her head. "No, even if Feng Nu really died when she was young, I would still come back. I will first help the clan complete the ceremony, then I will challenge you. "
This time, Feng Kong didn't wait for Feng Xu to speak before he interrupted, "Everything should be based on the big picture. Yan 'er, as expected of our clan's Phoenix of Hope, we didn't misjudge you. Good child, it's good that you're back. "As he spoke, he couldn't help but tug on Feng Xu's sleeve.
