The surging heat waves passed through the Dao patterns of the North-South Training Ground and onto everyone's faces.
The thousands of disciples of the Qin Clan swiftly retreated and stuck close to the ground. The Forty-nine Swords were ready for battle.
If a sacred beast like the fire phoenix were to really go all out, any flying cultivator would suffer a fatal blow.
The Qin Clan's 49 Swords had personally witnessed the scene of the sacred beast fire phoenix taking away Yan Nantian's 36 Heavenly Spirits with a single breath of fire. They did not think that they were stronger than the 36 Heavenly Spirits.
However … the Fire Phoenix still spat out a mouthful of flames towards the pattern, making a sizzling sound.
The Dao pattern began to shake violently.
"Saint beasts are simply too powerful. Dao patterns are just a joke to them," Fan Zhong said.
Qin Renyue also knew that the Dao pattern couldn't block it, but after being looked down upon by Fan Zhong, he couldn't help but snort and say, "Are you kidding me? Are you going to block it for me?"
Fan Zhong was speechless.
Although they were both Perfected Persons, Fan Zhong was slightly weaker than Qin Renyue. To be precise, Fan Zhong was the weakest among the four Perfected Beings. This had something to do with his character of sailing with the wind. With his personality, it was destined that he would not be able to make true friends, nor would he offend anyone. He was the kind of person who only cared about himself and would not help the world.
The sky was fiery red.
Under the high temperature, the Dao pattern was on the verge of collapse.
Qin Renyue ordered, "Follow me!"
The 49 swords replied in unison, "Yes."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone flew into the sky.
Forty-nine swords gathered into a formation, forming seven directions.
The others still maintained a wait-and-see attitude, not daring to step forward. They knew very well how terrifying a sacred beast was. Although the 49 Swords and Qin Renyue were powerful, they might not even be able to withstand a mouthful of flames from the fire phoenix. Going up like that was tantamount to courting death.
Fan Zhong advised, "I hope that you can lend a hand to the Qin Clan's Bodhimanda."
The others chimed in.
Even if the dojo didn't belong to them, if the Fire Phoenix decided to attack them, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Mingshi Yin said, "…"
I'm really not some Perfected Being!
You guys can still burn a ball of fire in the air, but I'll just be a pile of ashes if I go up! He wouldn't go even if he was beaten to death!
When the Fire Phoenix saw Qin Renyue and the forty-nine swords in the air, it let out a piercing screech that pierced through the clouds. However, it did not attack.
Qin Renyue frowned.
"This is not a place where you should be …"
The fire phoenix flaps its wings.
The raging flames seemed to even burn the air red.
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Little Yuan 'er, and Conch hovered in the air from the dojo and saw the huge fire phoenix.
"Holy beast, fire phoenix! Everyone, be careful!" Yu Zhenghai warned.
The Nanshan Training Hall was far away, so they were safe for the time being.
The Fire Phoenix stood on the Northern Mountain Daoist Square, overlooking the crowd.
At this moment, it opened its mouth and made a bowing posture.
It was this attitude that caused Qin Renyue's expression to change drastically. He shouted, "Retreat!"
Forty-nine Swords quickly retreated.
Fortunately, this was Qin Renyue's dojo and there weren't too many disciples of the Qin Clan. The big shots of the various forces who had entered the dojo had enough time to react and quickly rushed out.
Sou Sou Sou.
A ball of flame shot towards the Daoist pattern.
After only resisting for a moment, the dao patterns shattered like glass, turning into stars that scattered across the sky.
As the flames entered the dojo, the Northern Mountain Dojo turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
"What the … He's that powerful?" Mingshi Yin exclaimed in shock. Although this was his second time seeing this, he still found it hard to believe.
Lu Zhou, Fan Zhong, and the other freemen were shocked as well.
Qin Renyue summoned his star compass. Whizz!
The star compass hovered before him as he unleashed the full power of his Birth Chart. He shouted, "How dare you destroy my dojo?!"
The Birth Chart power advanced toward the fire phoenix. Bam! Bam! Bam! The fire phoenix did not dodge. It folded its wings, and the Birth Chart power seemed to tickle it.
It spread its wings again. The fire phoenix was unharmed.
"…"
'How powerful!'
He suddenly remembered how Ye Zheng and the 30 Heavenly Spirits struggled in the sea of fire. Qin Renyue and Forty-nine Swords were not much more powerful than them. After the fire phoenix's Nirvana, it must have matured and become more powerful after so many years.
'How should I deal with this?'
Qin Renyue said, "Brother Lu!"
He could only ask Lu Zhou for help.
Lu Zhou was the thick-skinned man who was currently stationed in the Qin Clan's dojo.
Lu Zhou glanced at Qin Renyue and said, "You've finally remembered me?"
Qin Renyue seemed slightly awkward. He glanced at Mingshi Yin and made some mental calculations.
Throughout these five years, he had interacted with Mingshi Yin many times. He knew Mingshi Yin quite well. Mingshi Yin was known for being a coward. When Qin Renyue recalled that Mingshi Yin was from the Meng Mansion, he had nothing else to say. Mingshi Yin might even be a super freak.
Moreover, Qin Renyue was not 100% certain that Mingshi Yin was a grand Perfected Master. After all, five years was too short. It was almost impossible.
However, the miracle of the Towering Peak's Skylink Path was real.
No matter how he thought about it, the only person who could become a grand Perfected Master in such a short time was Mingshi Yin who possessed the Great Void Seed.
There was no other possibility.
Qin Renyue said, "Brother Lu, I'm afraid you're the only one who can fight it."
The others retreated one after another.
They looked at the huge firebird nervously.
Lu Zhou moved and appeared 100 meters away from the fire phoenix. He stood with his hands on his back. He looked up and said, "Livestock."
The fire phoenix made a sound.
It opened and closed its mouth, but no one knew what it was saying.
When Lu Zhou saw that it had no intention of attacking, he projected his voice and said, "Are you here for the little phoenix?"
He projected his voice because he did not want others to know about the little phoenix's existence.
The fire phoenix lowered its head and looked down at Lu Zhou as though it was nodding.
Lu Zhou extended his hand and projected his voice again. "Since you've entrusted it to me, I'll naturally return it to you. However … shouldn't you do something about it? "
The fire phoenix's head tilted to the left and right. It did not seem to understand the rules of the humans.
'Isn't it only right that I want my child back?'
It looked down at Lu Zhou's palm. It was infuriated.
'As expected, humans are greedy animals. I'll burn them to ashes to make these pitiful worms revere the great Holy Beast, the fire phoenix!'
The fire phoenix opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fire.
Qin Renyue and Fan Zhong summoned their astrolabes at the same time. They retreated 1,000 meters with the other cultivators.
Lu Zhou did not expect the fire phoenix to suddenly spit out fire.
He did not know that the minds of humans and animals were on completely different lines.
He had no choice but to summon his astrolabe and shield himself.
Sizzle!
The scorching flames burned the astrolabe.
Lu Zhou immediately felt a burning sensation. The astrolabe felt as though it was about to melt.
He was shocked. He was already a grand Perfected Master, and yet, it was still difficult for him to resist the holy beast's flames.
He also had the fire-resistance of the Scarlet Beast. However, it seemed like his fire-resistance was too insignificant compared to the holy beast's attack.
Sizzle!
The astrolabe twisted.
Lu Zhou pushed his palm forward.
The heavenly power was attached to the astrolabe. The golden radiance of the astrolabe was tinged with an azure hue, making it look even more dazzling.
With a buzz, the astrolabe straightened and finally blocked the flames.
However, it could only block the flames. It could not attack the holy beast.
At this moment, the fire phoenix retracted its flames. It spread its wings and froze in place.
Lu Zhou retracted the astrolabe and unleashed the Dao power he learned from the Heaven Hook Ropeway. At the same time, he unleashed He Luoyu's Birth Chart power.
Ten figures hovered in front of him.
The others saw the space around them tremble. When they looked again, they saw Lu Zhou had already appeared above the fire phoenix.
"Great Completion, Ruo Que."
