Feng Xu's expression was still stiff as he said coldly, "What's wrong with them? You should know that this is a forbidden area of the clan. You and Feng Nu actually brought these outsiders back, openly flouting the clan's rules. Is this your contribution to the clan? " Although he was scolding Yu Ruyan, he was undoubtedly admitting that Yu Ruyan was a member of the Feng people.
Yu Ruyan looked at Feng Xu, who was putting on a tough front, and couldn't help but find it funny. From Feng Kong's expression, she could tell that the Feng people's situation wasn't looking good, but Elder Feng Xu was still pretending to make things difficult for her for the sake of the clan's rules. This Elder Feng Xu was actually a respectable elder, but sometimes he was too stubborn.
Yu Ruyan knew that the first problem had been solved, but the second problem they had to face together wasn't as easy as the first one. After all, she grew up under the care of Feng Xu and Feng Kong, and so did Feng Nu. That relationship naturally played a key role when they returned to the Feng people, but the second problem they had to face was related to the survival of the Feng people!
After hesitating, Yu Ruyan decided to open the problem now. She knew that the longer they dragged it, the more disadvantageous it would be. If they wanted to get through this second problem, they needed everyone to work together. Thinking of this, she looked up at the two elders and said, "This time, I didn't only bring back Feng Nu, I also brought back my other daughter. This is Chenchen." As she spoke, she waved at Lan Chen. Lan Chen walked to her mother's side and stood there. Looking at her mother's clansmen in front of her, she felt uneasy.
Feng Xu and Feng Kong's gazes landed on Lan Chen. This girl who didn't lose out to Feng Nu in terms of looks looked more like Yu Ruyan than Feng Nu. However, the cold aura around her made the two elders feel that something was wrong. Feng Kong couldn't help but say, "Since she's your daughter, why don't you take her as your daughter? Then, she also has the blood of the Feng people. What does bringing her have to do with bringing those outsiders back? "
Yu Ruyan sighed and nodded to Lan Chen.
Under everyone's gaze, a layer of blue halo rose from Lan Chen's body. The halo drifted outwards, and the cold aura made the fire attribute Feng people frown. At this moment, a resonant phoenix cry came from Lan Chen's mouth. Huge blue wings appeared behind her back. The beautiful Lan Chen floated up under the effect of the huge Feng people's Royal Feathers. Silence hung in the air.
Feng Xu and Feng Kong widened their eyes in shock. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Ice Phoenix." The younger generation of the Feng people might not know what the Ice Phoenix represented, but as the only two remaining elders of the Feng people, how could they not know? The hope that had been ignited with great difficulty fell to the bottom of the valley. The way they looked at Yu Ruyan also changed.
Yu Ruyan sighed. She said, "Elders, do you understand now? I brought Chenchen back to tell you this so that you can be prepared. As for those three outsiders, I had no choice but to bring them back because with their strength, it's very likely that they can help us through this crisis. I hope that you two can abandon the prejudice in the clan. Let them also participate in our Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony. "
Feng Xu's eyes became abnormally cold. Feng Kong was about to say something, but he raised his hand to stop him. "Feng people, surround." Under his old and deep voice, more than ten Feng people experts took the most advantageous position. Nine Li's dou qi was released. Everyone, including Feng Ying, pulled out their longswords. To the Feng people, an elder's words were an order.
Feng Xu looked at Yu Ruyan and said coldly, "As the clan's former hope, I'm sure you know what the Ice Phoenix represents. When the Ice Phoenix appears, the Phoenix rises. This story means that the Feng people are on the verge of destruction. According to the clan's rules, whenever an Ice Phoenix appears, it must be destroyed immediately. In our clan's history, there have been three Ice Phoenixes. For the sake of the Feng people's survival, all of them were executed according to the clan's rules. Feng Yan, if you still consider yourself a member of our clan, you should know what to do. "
Yu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. "Elder, you can let Feng Nu go, but can't you let my other daughter go?"
Feng Xu looked at Yu Ruyan and sighed. "Yan 'er, after so many years, I'm calling you this again. You? This time is different from the last time. The appearance of the Ice Phoenix threatens thousands of lives of our Wa people. For the sake of the Feng people, I have to do this. Even if you're unwilling to help us get through this crisis because of this, I have to make this choice. "
Nian Bing walked up to Yu Ruyan and Lan Chen. "Elder Feng Xu, isn't the appearance of the Ice Phoenix a bad thing? Perhaps the appearance of the Ice Phoenix is also an opportunity for the Feng people. "
Feng Xu snorted. "Perhaps? Do I have to use thousands of lives of my clan to bet on your 'perhaps'? "
Nian Bing joked as she stared into Feng Xu's eyes. "Elder, do you think you can kill Chen Chen in front of us with just a dozen people?"
Feng Xu looked coldly at Nian Bing. "You think too highly of us Feng people. As long as I call, we Feng people can set up the Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation. No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to escape. For the sake of our clan's survival, I'd rather let this Fire Wood Forest suffer a calamity."
"Grandpa, you can't. Maybe he's right. " Feng Ying suddenly flew to Feng Xu's side and whispered something. Although Nian Bing could hear his voice through her Tian Yan acupoint, his language was unique to the Feng people.
Hearing Feng Ying's words, Feng Xu's expression changed slightly. "No, I can't take this risk. Yan 'er, what's your decision? "
Yu Ruyan's gaze turned cold. "Elder Feng Xu, I can only apologize to you. Chen Chen is my daughter. As a mother, how can I let my daughter die? Elder, the reason why our Phoenixes are gradually declining is because we have obtained too few things from the outside world. We are stuck in our own ways, which is why we have today's result. The Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation is indeed the Feng people's strongest formation. The power of a thousand people is comparable to the God's Descent Technique, but it's useless to us. Before the arrival of the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony, could it be that you want to cause internal strife in our clan? "
Nian Bing said, "Mom, don't worry. You don't have to. You can't blame Elder Feng Xu for this. They have their own difficulties. Maybe if it was someone else, they wouldn't risk their entire clan for a chance. Elder Feng Xu, I have a suggestion. "
Feng Xu said in a low voice, "What suggestion?"
Nian Bing said, "Since you're so confident in your Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation, I'd like to try. If I can break out of this formation, it means that you don't have the power to stop us from leaving. Chen Chen won't be killed by you. When that time comes. You have no reason not to take the risk. We came to the Feng people this time to help the Feng people get through this difficult time. If I succeed in breaking out of the formation, then please let the members of the Phoenix Clan leave the Fire Wood Forest for the time being. Let the few of us and the Elders face the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony. Even if we fail, we'll just be changing our habitat. "
Feng Xu looked at Nian Bing and said with disdain, "You? You want to break into our Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation alone? I can agree to your suggestion, but what if you lose? "
Before Nian Bing could open his mouth, Lan Chen's cold voice rang out. "If he loses, he'll lose. "If he loses, I'll kill myself here."
"Chen Chen." Yu Ruyan said anxiously. Others might not know how powerful the Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation was, but how could she not know?
Lan Chen smiled. "Mom, don't you think this is the best solution? I don't want to make things difficult for you. I know you've never forgotten anything about the Feng people. Even Nian Bing is willing to take the risk for me and the Feng people's future. What am I afraid of? I have confidence in Nian Bing. He'll definitely be able to break out of the formation. "
"Brother, let me break through this formation with you." Halogen suddenly said.
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "No, I want to challenge the Phoenix Wing Spread Formation myself." He was naturally aware of the dangers involved, but he definitely couldn't allow Shu Lun to participate. Si Yun's martial skill was extremely overbearing. This time, not only did he have to break through the formation, but he also could not hurt any of the Phoenixes. Otherwise, even if he succeeded in breaking through the formation, he would form a grudge with the Phoenixes. So, he could only rely on himself.
After rejecting Halogen, Nian Bing took a few steps forward to Elder Feng Xu. "Elder, is it fine as long as I can break out of the Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation?"
Feng Xu said proudly, "Of course. If you can really break out of the formation, it proves that you have the ability to break it. I have to warn you in advance. Once the formation is set up, there'll only be one outcome if you can't break out of it, and that's death. "
Nian Bing nodded. "Alright, I understand. You can order your men to set up the formation. "
Feng Xu took out a red flute and put it to his lips. The sharp sound of the flute drifted in the air, creating all kinds of changes. Feng Kong gave Feng Ying a look and said, "You'll be in charge of the formation."
Feng Ying agreed. His gaze landed on Nian Bing as he said, "Perhaps this is another type of competition between the two of us. Even though this is unfair, I want to see just how strong you are."
Nian Bing smiled. "You'll see." After he finished speaking, he walked back and sat down cross-legged on the ground. He sensed the dense connate energy in the air and started to regulate his breathing.
Right at this moment, a wisp of an ethereal voice entered Nian Bing's ears. "Maintain your posture and don't move. Listen to me. The Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation is the strongest formation among the Feng people, and it's also the strongest joint attack formation. It's so powerful that even the so-called strongest formation on the continent, the Order of the Fire Dragon, wouldn't be able to withstand it. The biggest characteristic of this formation is that it can combine the Nine Abandonment Battle Qi unique to the Feng people. When thousands of people gather their Battle Qi, it'll have an effect similar to fire magic. Even I haven't seen how strong it is, but I can imagine that once the formation is set up, its power won't be any weaker than the Fire God's Descent Technique. The strength of the formation is determined by the combined strength of the thousands of people in it. The fact that the two elders aren't participating is already giving us some face. If you want to break this formation, you'll have to break through it at a single point. I hope you understand what I mean. Mom won't ask for anything else. You must come out of the formation alive, for yourself and for Chenchen. " Yu Ruyan's voice was heavy. She hoped that Nian Bing could successfully break the formation, but she also didn't want her clansmen to suffer any losses. However, to break through the formation at a single point, what they needed to do was to break out of the encirclement. Over there, how would they be able to do that?
Nian Bing sat there cross-legged without moving. The Xiantian Qi around the middle stage West Meridian Acupoint Emissary was constantly fusing with his body. Every trace of magic element fluctuation appeared in Nian Bing's senses. A God's Descent Technique level formation? Alright then, let me see it for myself.
Red clouds, a red cloud appeared in the sky above the Firewood Forest. If one could see it clearly, they would discover that the red cloud was formed by people who were emitting red Battle Qi. There were a total of forty rows. The first row had twenty-five people. The person at the top spread out the Royal Feather of the Feng people. Below him, each and every one of them grabbed onto the legs of the person at the top, causing their body to float in the air.
At a glance, it was a little unbelievable that one person could carry the weight of twenty-four people. However, these experts of the Feng people had been cultivating Nine Abandonment Battle Qi for a long time. Their strength was very strong. Under the effect of Battle Qi, they could make their body as light as a swallow. Although they couldn't fly because they didn't have wings, they could reduce their weight to the greatest extent. Therefore, the forty people of the Feng people who had the Royal Feather didn't need to bear much weight.
Seeing the red Battle Qi filling the sky, Yu Ruyan's expression changed. She didn't expect that so many experts with the Royal Feather had appeared in the Feng people during the years she was gone. Although having the Royal Feather didn't mean that they were on the same level as Swordsman, it was enough to prove that this Phoenix Wing Spread Formation was the strongest formation that the Feng people could set up.
Nian Bing stood up from the ground and casually brushed the dust off her body. Her expression was still as relaxed as before. It was as if she didn't feel any pressure from the thousand elites of the Feng people in the air.
Feng Xu looked at Nianbing and said, "It's not too late for you to regret it. In these years, we've carefully studied the Phoenix Nine Transformations. We found that the first two transformations can be triggered by special techniques. In a short period of time, people with the Royal Bloodline of the Feng people can reach the second transformation. Although their strength is far from Feng Nu's, do you think you have a chance against a thousand people? "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "How do I know if I don't try? Even Chenchen has confidence in me. How can I back down? "
Feng Xu looked at the young man in front of him. He didn't understand where this young man's confidence came from. Although Feng Ying had already told him that he lost to Nian Bing, how could Feng Ying compare to the Phoenix Wing Spread Formation formed by the elites of the Feng people? From the beginning, Feng Xu didn't plan for Nian Bing to really break through the formation. He set up the strongest Phoenix Wing Spread Formation not only to deter Nian Bing, but also to tell Yu Ruyan that the Feng people did indeed have the strength to keep them here.
"Alright, I'll tell them to come down and begin." Feng Xu's eyes were cold. The life and death of an outsider meant nothing to him.
Yu Ruyan, Halogen, Feng Nu, Lan Chen, and Long Ling all came to Nian Bing's side. Five people, ten pairs of eyes focused on him. Nian Bing didn't say anything. He just looked at them with a determined gaze. After looking around, he said to Feng Xu, "Elder, I think you don't need to tell them to come down. Since it's a phoenix? Let's use the Phoenix Wing Spread Formation in the air. This way, we won't destroy this beautiful forest. "
Feng Xu looked at Nian Bing in surprise. His words gave him a good impression. He nodded and blew a note with his flute. The thousand Feng people who were about to land returned to their original state. Just as Feng Xu and Feng Kong thought that Nian Bing would use magic to rise into the air, Nian Bing let out a long chant.
His clear chanting voice soared into the sky. His feet touched the ground, and he suddenly soared into the air. Feng Xu and Feng Kong, who had practiced martial arts for many years, could clearly sense that this wasn't magic, but the power of a person's own body. But he actually jumped so high. Both of them had the same thought when they saw that Nian Bing's body was still rising after reaching a height of ten feet. Could it be that this person was not only a Magician, but also a Warrior?
Nian Bing used his actions to give them the answer. Just as his body was about to reach the end, grey light condensed below him. A loud dragon's roar matched Nian Bing's chant. Soaring into the sky, his aura instantly increased. It wasn't any weaker than the Phoenix Spread Wings Formation that was beginning to change shape in the air.
Under Feng Xu and Feng Kong's shocked gazes, the seventy-foot-long grey dragon, Oscar, suddenly appeared below Nian Bing. Nian Bing's body had just started to fall when he sat firmly on Oscar's back. The long roars of man and dragon stopped at the same time. Oscar's huge dragon wings suddenly spread open. He carried Nian Bing and soared into the sky. His target was the center of the Phoenix Spread Wings Formation.
Feng Xu's expression changed. "Dragon? He can actually control a dragon? "
Feng Nu shook his head. "No, that's his friend, and also his partner. Or rather, it's a part of his body. "
No matter what happened, no matter how shocked the Feng people in the air were, the Phoenix Spread Wings Formation suddenly erupted when Nian Bing reached the center of the forty rows of Feng people.
The pervasive red battle aura turned the air into a sea of red. Like a burning cloud, it instantly swallowed Nian Bing's body. Only those who were facing it could feel how powerful the battle aura of a thousand Feng people's warriors was. Yu Ruyan and the others, who were standing on the ground in time, could also clearly feel the scorching heat in the air.
Phoenix cries sounded in the air. The battle between the dragon magicians and the Phoenix Spread Wings Formation had already begun.
A thousand people roared at the same time, but it was as if a single person roared in unison. With golden flames as the head and red flames as the body, the Phoenix Spread Wings Formation began its operation. The enormous Nine Abandonment Battle Aura transformed into nine huge fire phoenixes in the air. They rushed towards Nian Bing at almost the same time amidst the large expanse of red clouds.
At this moment, Nian Bing was sitting steadily behind Oscar. Seven supra-divine magic blades appeared at almost the same time. Feng Xu and Feng Kong didn't notice that when Yu Ruyan and the others surrounded Nian Bing, Halogen, who was also in the center, had already undergone a great change. This was because he had returned the Longevity Blade to Nian Bing.
The immense pressure felt as if it was going to crush Oscar and himself. The scorching air made them feel as if they were in a furnace. The other magical elements in the surroundings became abnormally weak in front of the nine fire phoenixes. Only the fire elements were surging and exploding. The power of a thousand people was indeed powerful. Even if the Ice Goddess Priestess was here, she would have a hard time resisting the attack of the nine fire phoenixes. However, even though Nian Bing wasn't a priestess of the Ice Goddess, and he wasn't confident that he could win against a priestess of the Ice Goddess, he was a mage with the same origin of ice and fire. As a dragon mage, he had his own methods.
After opening the fourth acupoint, Nian Bing had a completely new understanding of how to use the acupoints. Although he only had a day to get used to the appearance of the West Meridian Acupoint, compared to a few days ago when he attacked Xilun, he was already different. His most valuable asset wasn't the seven divine blades floating around him, nor was it the enormous amount of magic in his body. It was his mental strength that constantly unleashed all of its power.
If it was someone else who was surrounded like this, and that person wasn't a magus of the fire element, they wouldn't even be able to unleash ten percent of their power. However, Nian Bing was different. Through the enormous mental strength contained in the Heaven's Eye Acupoint, and through the opened West Meridian Acupoint, he had already connected with the surging Xiantian Qi between heaven and earth the moment he rushed into the air. No matter how strong the Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation was, it was still possible for there to be a gap, a gap that was enough for his mental strength to rush out. Therefore, the moment Nian Bing entered this formation, the final outcome was already decided.
Nine huge fire phoenixes, completely condensed from fighting aura, had already sealed off all of Nian Bing's escape routes. At this moment, the seven divine blades around Nian Bing's body lit up. Seven substantial figures floated in the air as if they were weightless, floating around Nian Bing's body. The blades in their hands emitted a resplendent light. For a moment, the dazzling light actually rushed out from the fire clouds, piercing through heaven and earth. The power of a supra divine tool was displayed at this moment. Nian Bing placed one hand on his lower abdomen, and the other hand slanted towards the sky. A golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and a rainbow-colored light emitted from a point. Fusing with the surrounding blade light, it instantly formed a huge rainbow-colored tornado. The tornado formed by the strong light spread out in an instant, and in almost the blink of an eye, it had already completely swallowed the nine huge fire phoenixes.
At this moment, the sky above the Firewood Forest was filled with rainbows. However, it wasn't the seven colors of the rainbow, but the seven colors representing ice, fire, earth, wind, space, light, and darkness: blue, red, yellow, green, silver, white, and black. Under the effect of the strong light. The nine fire phoenixes formed by the Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation suddenly changed. Their size almost instantly shrank by half, and their speed slowed down to a third of their original speed.
Looking at the blue sky that reappeared in front of his eyes, looking at the red clouds that melted like ice and snow, Nian Bing smiled. The seven shadow puppets holding the seven divine blades raised the divine blades in their hands high at the same time. A shout came from Nian Bing's mouth, and Oscar's body emitted a circle of golden-gray light. The light directly penetrated the bodies of the seven shadow puppets, and in the next moment, seven rays of light soared into the sky. The rays representing the seven magical elements condensed into a rainbow-colored light spot above Nian Bing's head. The light spot seemed to be very small, so small that it was almost undetectable, but it also seemed to be very big, so big that it could encompass heaven and earth.
At this moment, Nian Bing was standing on Nian Bing's back. Just like a true god descending from the heavens to the mortal world, he used his right index finger to point at the seven-colored light spot. His heart suddenly became fiery, and even Yu Ruyan and the others who were far away on the ground seemed to be able to see the faint smile on his face. It was as if what was in front of him was not a formation that could take his life at any time, but a game.
Nian Bing's index finger moved slightly, gently pushing up the light spot. Then, the rainbow-colored light shot back to the seven shadow puppets. Almost everyone could see that seven light chains descended from the sky and landed directly on the seven shadow puppets. The seven Nian Bing puppets with completely different auras instantly became illusory. Then, the blades in their hands disappeared at the same time, and at the same time, they merged into their bodies. In the middle of the light that came from the sky, their illusory bodies instantly expanded, and every shadow puppet changed.
From the front, it was no longer possible to see their appearance clearly. Although their bodies became bigger, their appearances became more and more blurred. Nian Bing stood on his back with a smile, watching the nine fire phoenixes that had shrunk to half their original size gradually accelerate towards her, but she did not reveal a trace of worry.
The girls in the front were a little confused. When the nine fire phoenixes' speed suddenly decreased, and that red cloud formed by Nine Leave Dou Qi had been dissolved by the rainbow-colored light, Nian Bing could completely rely on Oscar's speed to rush out. Although this was a bit of a trick, but it could also be considered as breaking out of the formation. After all, to be able to reduce the attack power of nine fire phoenixes formed by thousands of people by one fold, and at the same time reduce their speed greatly, how much strength was required to do this! But, why didn't Nian Bing do that? The only one who truly understood Nian Bing's thoughts was Lan Chen.
Lan Chen's eyes were moist. Looking at the seven expanding light shadows, she no longer cared about anything. At this moment, her heart only had Nian Bing who was willing to give up everything for her, and her husband who was willing to consume a huge amount of magic power for her. In fact, as early as when Nian Bing used Angel's Tears, she already understood that a man who was willing to give up his life for her was worthy of her love. Therefore, she decided to leave the Ice God Tower without hesitation and become Nian Bing's real wife.
Although it took a long time to describe, from the time Nian Bing ascended with Oscar to the time when the seven light shadows expanded, only a few blinks of an eye had passed. At this moment, the seven light shadows that had expanded to thirty feet had undergone different changes. This time, the changes really made everyone completely stunned.
The changes happened almost at the same time. The blue shadow puppet's body changed. It no longer looked like Nian Bing. A long dress made of blue light appeared around its illusory blue body. Although it couldn't be seen clearly, the blue shadow puppet had indeed turned into a woman. A fifty-foot long scepter appeared in her right hand. On her chest, a ball of blue light shone. Facing outward, she raised the long scepter in her hand.
The red figure changed. However, it didn't turn into a woman. Instead, it turned into a mighty general. An illusory fiery-red armor appeared on its body. The thirty-foot tall figure clasped its hands together and raised a long blade made of flames.
The green figure was also covered in armor. However, it was different from the red figure. Its body was much thinner and smaller. A light wind swirled around its body like a whirlpool. Those wind blade-like leaves were translucent and covered its body. It held a bottle in its hand. The mouth of the bottle was facing outward, as if it was going to pour something out.
The yellow figure changed the most. Not only did it turn from a man to a woman, but it also had a long dress like the blue shadow puppet. At the same time, the yellow light around its body turned green. It was a green that was full of vitality. In its hand was a light strip that looked like a willow branch. On the light strip, seven green willow leaves shone brightly.
The silver figure was still a man. However, it didn't have any armor on its body. A silver robe flashed continuously. Its body went through the process of turning from nothing to something. Every time it flashed, the silver light seemed to become brighter. In front of it, a door that hadn't been opened floated. The gorgeous door was also silver. There were countless complex symbols carved on it. However, because all of them were made of energy, they were all illusory. Therefore, no one could see clearly what those symbols were.
At this time, the white figure had already turned into a sacred golden color. A beautiful woman with a head of golden hair was wearing a luxurious golden robe. Her body that was ten meters tall looked so slender. She raised her head to look at the sky and raised a golden longsword in her hand. The sword shone with a dazzling light like the sun. That sacred aura seemed to make the air become sacred.
