Ling Guang's hand was still pressed against Si Wuya's head. When Si Wuya's body shattered and fell to the ground, Ling Guang's hand slid off Si Wuya's head. The severed hand slowly petrified. A terrifying bloody handprint was left on Si Wuya's head before it fell to the ground.
Si Wuya was stunned.
He waved his arms in a daze, trying to grab the light, but he only grabbed a speck of dust, nothing at all.
Chongming Mountain returned to its usual silent and dark state.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, dispelling the darkness. Its light shone on the surface of the Endless Ocean.
Si Wuya hastily bent down and pushed the dust away. There was nothing there. It was empty.
He hastily rose to his feet.
He forgot the pain in his body as he sprinted in the night toward Chongming Bird.
He grabbed Chongming Bird's body. His eyes were filled with rage as he said, "Tell me … what's going on?!"
Chongming Bird could not move.
Si Wuya noticed there were countless bloody holes on its body. Blood was gushing out of each hole. Under the moonlight, the blood on its body appeared purplish and black at the same time. There was no hint of red at all.
Chongming Bird's mouth was tightly shut. Then, its head tilted to the side and it stopped breathing.
Si Wuya repeated himself as he shouted, "Answer me!"
His voice reverberated in Chongming Mountain and drifted into the distance. In the cold, lonely night, his voice sounded weak and powerless.
Nobody could answer his question.
Si Wuya had lost his cool. Si Wuya, who was known for his rationality, had lost his cool. He raised his hand like a saber and kept slashing at Chongming Bird's body.
Slash … Slash … Slash …
The frenzied slash tore Chongming Bird into pieces.
When Chongming Bird fell to the ground, Si Wuya slumped to the ground in exhaustion. He stared at the shredded body on the ground, lost in his thoughts.
…
He seemed to have heard the sound of waves from the Endless Ocean, the cries of the oceanic beasts, and the sound of the night breeze blowing across Chongming Mountain.
He gradually calmed down and regained his senses.
He looked at Chongming Bird and Ling Guang's bodies.
There were three Birth Chart Hearts on Chongming Bird's body. Two of them were destroyed. Ling Guang's violent attack must have caused this. He did not believe that his blade could destroy the Sacred Beast's Fate Heart. As for Hill Light, it did not have a Life Matrix Heart, nor did it have anything else. It was just a pile of dirt.
All along, the cultivation of humans had been based on killing ferocious beasts and seizing the hearts of their destinies. The ferocious beasts, on the other hand, occupied a large amount of territory and absorbed the vitality of the world as nutrients. They would also devour humans as food.
There was no Life Providence Heart in Ling Guang's corpse, which meant that Ling Guang was human.
Si Wuya replayed their conversation in his mind. He muttered to himself, "I'm the Fire God's descendant?"
He swallowed and stood up.
He put away the Bright Bird's three Destiny Hearts and walked toward the underground palace.
When he swept past Ling Guang's "corpse", he was stunned for a moment.
If all of this was true, then he should be buried in peace, right?
The dead were the most important. Even if there was no relationship between them, just the fact that Ling Guang had risked his life to save him was the same as giving him a new lease on life.
With this thought in mind, Si Wuya turned around. He was about to tidy up the place when a gust of wind blew at him. The gust of wind swept up the dirt and dust into the sky before it disappeared.
…
Si Wuya collected his thoughts and swiftly made his way to the underground palace.
When he arrived at the underground palace, he saw the huge skeleton swinging its skull saber at the three of them.
Huang Shijie flew above the skeleton's head and kept swinging his energy seals. Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The skeleton was unscathed.
"Master!"
Jiang Aijian leaped into the air and caught him.
Li Jingyi, on the other hand, was engaged in a battle with the huge skeleton.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Unfortunately, the three of them were not Qian Jie, after all. Under the skeleton's attack, the three of them were sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Si Wuya shouted, "Let me!"
He summoned his Peacock Plume. The Peacock Plume transformed into a pair of golden wings that landed on his back. When the wings spread out, the aura of the Fire God seemed to have descended. The three of them felt invigorated.
Jiang Aijian laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, you look like Ling Guang."
Si Wuya flapped his wings and flew above the skeleton. He summoned his astrolabe and pushed it down. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Two beams of Fate Chart power struck the skeleton's body.
"Two Birth Charts! Give it your all, brother!" Jiang Aijian nagged at the side.
Si Wuya spun in the air. Countless golden needles shot out of his wings. Bam! Bam! Bam!
To the skeleton, these needles did not even tickle it.
Huang Shijie placed a hand on his chest and said, "It's huge. It must be a guard guarding the entrance to the underground palace. It's not powerful, so don't fight it head-on."
Si Wuya put the astrolabe away. He flapped his wings and carried Jiang Aijian into the distance.
"You're right, Island Master Huang. Jiang Aijian, destroy the stone tablet behind it, "Si Wuya said.
"Alright."
Jiang Aijian unsheathed Dragonsong and shot it at the stone tablet. Boom! The stone tablet shattered. The words on it dimmed. With a flash of light, they vanished. Shimmering golden words appeared on the skeleton's body before they dimmed as well. The skeleton stopped moving and quieted down.
Si Wuya summoned his astrolabe again and said, "Be careful, there's something else. Move aside."
The three of them dragged their injured bodies and retreated to the side.
Si Wuya continued to bombard the skeleton until nothing was left of it.
After that, he landed on the ground. He sighed in relief and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. It's all thanks to the Fire God this time. Otherwise, we would've died, "Huang Shijie said in discomfort.
"That's scary. I'll never do this again." Jiang Aijian said with a chuckle, "If you don't give me all the swords in the Sky Martial Court, I won't be able to justify myself."
Si Wuya said with a smile, "I'll give them all to you. However … Don't you want the treasured swords in the underground palace? "
"Yes, of course … I almost forgot about them." Jiang Aijian turned around and leaped into the air above the underground palace. He brought out a black box and was about to put away the weapons when a gruff voice rang from nearby.
"What a pity … Ling Guang is a fool."
The four of them shuddered and looked in the direction of the voice.
Yang Liansheng, who only had his upper body burnt black, crawled over with charred flesh on his face.
"Yang Liansheng?" Si Wuya retreated.
"He's not dead?!" Jiang Aijian felt like retching.
"When Ling Guang slaughtered the Chongming Clan, I was trying to think of a way to deal with Ling Guang's True Fire. I didn't expect it to come in handy. "
Yang Liansheng's mouth was so charred that only bones remained. His voice was filled with hatred as he said, "All of you could've lived a good life … Now, I'm going to bury all of you with me!"
He flapped his charred arms. Bam!
Like a fired arrow, he shot toward Si Wuya.
Si Wuya spread his wings and flew backward. He dodged Yang Liansheng's ferocious attack.
Yang Liansheng said with even more hatred, "Heh … heh. The Fire God's heir? "
Si Wuya took out the astrolabe and said, "You're already at the end of your rope.
"An arrow at the end of its flight, why struggle?"
Yang Liansheng smacked his lips and said in a muffled voice, "You've underestimated me. My cultivation base is at the Second Life Gate, after all. Even if Ling Guang lowers my cultivation base to the One Life Gate, I'm still not someone you small fries can compare to!"
Yang Liansheng landed on the ground and flew toward Si Wuya.
This time, a radiant seal and an astrolabe appeared on his body.
Eight Birth Charts on the astrolabe dimmed and were burned into black holes by the flames. Only three or four Birth Charts were still formed, but they were on the verge of shattering.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Aijian sighed emotionally. 'How f * cking tenacious!'
Si Wuya did not fight them. Instead, he flew back and forth, using the unique properties of his wings to dodge their attacks. His goal was to wear them down.
"If only I'd brought Di Jiang with me." Si Wuya regretted not bringing Di Jiang with him.
Yang Liansheng chased after them for some time before he realized how cunning Si Wuya was. He immediately changed his target and dove toward Jiang Aijian, Li Jingyi, and Huang Shijie.
"He has wings … You don't!"
His first target was Huang Shijie.
Huang Shijie instinctively summoned his avatar. Whizz!
Yang Liansheng rammed into the avatar. Bam!
A crack appeared on Huang Shijie's avatar. He reeled with the avatar and crashed into the entrance of the underground palace. His clothes were stained with blood.
Li Jingyi and Jiang Aijian exclaimed in shock, "Master!"
"Don't worry about me! Run!" Huang Shijie shouted.
"None of you can escape!"
Yang Liansheng had lost his lower body. However, with the nimbleness of his arms, his attacks were cunning.
He lunged at Huang Shijie again.
Li Jingyi positioned herself in front of Jiang Aijian. She brandished her energy umbrella and danced in the air.
The Penglai Bluebird only managed to hold Yang Liansheng back for a moment. Yang Liansheng arrived before Li Jingyi like a hot knife through butter. He pushed his palm forward!
"Dodge, Junior Sister!"
Jiang Aijian swiftly pushed Li Jingyi away. He turned around and blocked with Dragonsong. Bam!
The palm strike landed on Dragonsong. Dragonsong bent and rebounded, striking Jiang Aijian's chest. Puff!
Jiang Aijian crashed into the broken underground palace.
Yang Liansheng's killing intent surged. At this moment, Si Wuya dove down from the sky.
He could not possibly watch as the three of them were killed. He immediately shot thousands of energy needles into Yang Liansheng's body.
Yang Liansheng remained unfazed. He continued to charge at Huang Shijie and the others.
Si Wuya had no choice but to land. He retracted his wings and unleashed his Peacock Plume to fight Jiang Aijian.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Among the four of them, Si Wuya was the only one who could fight Jiang Aijian.
Both sides were injured. Yang Liansheng was gravely injured. Even so, the battle was unusually intense.
The two of them fought for a long time.
Half an hour later.
Yang Liansheng felt his life slipping away. He cried out in pain. Blood-red energy seals shot out from his body and shot toward Si Wuya. Si Wuya retreated. He brought Huang Shijie and Li Jingyi with him as they flew above the underground palace.
"Don't worry about us!" Huang Shijie grabbed Li Jingyi. The two of them shot backward.
"Trying to run?!"
Yang Liansheng leaped into the air. More blood-red energy seals shot out from his body. They shot toward the four of them.
"This is bad."
Si Wuya had no choice but to transform his Peacock Plume into wings again. He shot out countless energy needles in an attempt to sever the blood-red energy threads. Bam! Bam! Bam!
Alas, the threads were exceptionally thin and numerous. He could not do anything to them.
Like a spider's web, the threads shot toward Si Wuya and Li Jingyi. They swiftly formed an inescapable net that enveloped everything within 1,000 meters. The stones, the underground palace, and the treasured swords in the underground palace were all stuck to the threads.
"Hahaha …" Yang Liansheng bared his fangs and brandished his claws. With a ferocious expression, he said, "Ling Guang! Open your eyes and watch how I kill your descendant. "
The threads shot toward the four of them. Puff!
Puff! Puff!
Si Wuya instantly felt as though thousands of ants were gnawing on his body. The excruciating pain made his forehead drench with sweat. His wings were extinguished, and he fell to the ground.
His body was tightly bound by the red threads. He could not move.
Huang Shijie looked up. "Si Wuya!"
Li Jingyi was powerless as well.
Jiang Aijian was prostrated on the ground. He could not move at all.
This was a dead end with no solution.
Si Wuya chuckled sadly. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he laughed.
Yang Liansheng said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at how pitiful you are. I'm laughing at how pathetic you are. I'm laughing at how arrogant you are … Do you really think you can kill me?" Si Wuya's eyes shone with a faint red light. The red light kept transmitting a powerful will and emotion into his mind.
It was as though he was the Fire God!
Yang Liansheng said, "Ignorant child, have you forgotten? Where is this place? This is Chongming Mountain. This is the underground palace. This is the place where Ling Guang has been sealed for nearly 100,000 years! Who do you think you are? Die! "
Puff!
A red thread pierced Si Wuya's chest. The red light in his eyes dimmed.
Si Wuya replied ferociously, "How dare you?!"
"The rage of powerlessness is the struggle of the weak! Die! "
Another red thread pierced Si Wuya's chest.
Blood trickled down his chest.
Yang Liansheng knew the Fire God Tribe would not die so easily. Hence, he controlled the thousands of red threads. Boom! The debris in the underground palace was cleared away. The runes in the underground palace lit up.
The spot where Ling Guang was standing earlier shone with light as well.
Si Wuya regained his senses. His body shone brightly as he wrestled with Yang Liansheng.
The red threads were pulled taut and straight. They creaked.
It all depended on who would give up first. Willpower was the key to victory.
Yang Liansheng gritted his teeth and laughed maniacally. "I deserve to die. You'll have to die with me!"
At this moment, Jiang Aijian swung Dragonsong with all his might. Bam! Bam! Bam! He severed the red threads on his body. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Let him go."
"You think you can do it?! “
Swoosh!
A red line shot toward Jiang Aijian. Jiang Aijian swung Dragonsong expressionlessly.
Bam! The red thread was severed.
"Hm?" Yang Liansheng sensed that something was amiss.
Jiang Aijian stabbed Dragonsong into the ground.
He took a deep breath and took out the black box.
Then, he took a deep breath.
Huang Shijie said, "Jiang Aijian, put it down!"
"Master, it's fine." Jiang Aijian grinned.
"You're not Qianjie … You can't control the sword box!" Huang Shijie said.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Li Jingyi's eyes glowed red as she shook her head.
Jiang Aijian grinned at them and said, "I told you I'm fine … Master, let me tell you a secret. I just … reached the Thousand Realms."
Hum –
His avatar appeared and overlapped with Jiang Aijian.
His aura suddenly changed. His vital qi fluctuated, and his cultivation base skyrocketed.
The sword scabbard buzzed.
All the swords in the underground palace started ringing, like wind chimes in the summer wind.
Ring ring ring — —
