As Cao Yuan and the Dark Phoenix conversed, the demons were still breaking through the ocean water and leaping toward the Huge Whirlpool, turning into a spray of blood and flesh after being cut by the iron broadsword.
Many of the rocks in the air had been shattered and floated in the air. It was an extremely miserable sight.
"Are you really stupid? Don't you understand what I'm saying? " The Dark Phoenix sounded exasperated as he said, "This is a scheme arranged by the Immortal. The more demons you kill, the more powerful the Heavenly Slaying Formation will be. Are you going to keep killing until you become a part of the bloody sacrifice?"
Cao Yuan said, "I understand what you just said, but it seems that I'm only good at doing these kinds of things, and it seems that I can endure it."
The Dark Phoenix demanded icily, "Really? Then I'll let you die now. "
The aura on the surface of the sea suddenly changed. The lines formed by the blood beads began to release a blinding light.
An unimaginably formidable energy headed toward Cao Yuan.
This was the force of the Heavenly Slaying Formation that could alter the passage of heaven and earth; but it was used by the Dark Phoenix to deal with Cao Yuan. No matter how powerful Cao Yuan was, how could he resist it?
"Even if you're the strongest man in Chaotian and as powerful as Lian Sanyue, what's the point?"
Those bloody lines extended toward Cao Yuan along with the voice of the Dark Phoenix. Though they didn't travel at a high speed, they seemed to be unavoidable.
Cao Yuan had no intention of evading. He pressed his palms together and recited a simple script.
Thousands of golden characters floated out of his palms and formed a ring of light that covered his body and blocked the blood threads.
With a sizzling sound, there was a faint burning smell, as if the heavenly lightning had struck a ten-thousand-year-old ancient tree.
The blood threads disappeared as soon as they touched the halo, and the halo became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cao Yuan suddenly said while rubbing his head, "I've just thought that since you're the main controller of the formation, we can dismantle this formation if we kill you."
The Dark Phoenix was taken aback at first, but then he sneered, "You're really stupid. It's such a simple idea that you've only figured it out now. The problem is that you can't break the formation; how can you kill me in the formation?"
Cao Yuan said, "I'll land at the bottom of the Huge Whirlpool and try to block this passage …"
The Dark Phoenix shrieked, "It's impossible! This is the passageway between the heavens and the earth, how can a human be able to block it? "
"We have to give it a try," said Cao Yuan. "If the passage is blocked and the seawater can't fall into the Underworld, Taiping Zhenren will be worried."
The Dark Phoenix demanded in a mocking tone, "Are you trying to provoke me to kill you?"
Cao Yuan lifted his head and looked at the sky, the blood and seawater dripping down from his mottled face. "Today is your only chance to kill me, the strongest swordsman in the world. Don't you want to try?"
The voice of the Dark Phoenix rang out again after a while, "Well, wait for me to kill you."
…
…
The sanguineous threads above the Great Maelstrom suddenly vanished as the dark clouds dispersed and sunlight poured down.
The seawater continued to fall, forming the most spectacular waterfall in the world.
Cao Yuan stood up and looked at the sun in the sky while holding the iron broadsword.
A bird flew out of the sun.
It was neither the Vermilion Bird nor the Golden Crow.
It was a blood-red, demonic, and strange bird.
The Dark Phoenix had absorbed the energy of countless demons sacrificed by the demons with the help of the Heavenly Slaying Formation. His colorful feathers had been dyed red, and his wings were more than three hundred feet long, exuding a formidable energy.
He flew toward the Great Maelstrom, stirring up a great deal of Chaotic Wind.
The demons in the seawater were terrified, fleeing in tandem.
This was a foreign object.
Looking at the Dark Phoenix in the sky, Cao Yuan displayed a grave expression in his eyes. He was certain that the Dark Phoenix was many times more powerful than when he was in Aoyama.
A few moments later, the Dark Phoenix arrived above the Great Maelstrom, exuding an unimaginably bloody energy and lethal intent.
The seawater that had been flowing and falling down over the years seemed to have been suppressed by the Dark Phoenix's formidable energy, turning into a transparent glass.
As the only swordsman of the human race who had fought against the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom, Cao Yuan was certain that the Dark Phoenix was not as powerful as the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom at the moment.
Cao Yuan held the hilt of his broadsword with his left hand, his countenance grave, but a hint of delight showed in the deep end of his eyes.
"Ah, finally, there is someone I can't defeat."
As the Dark Phoenix saw Cao Yuan hold the hilt of his broadsword with both of his hands, he felt a thrill in the deep end of his spiritual soul.
Even the strongest swordsman in this world feels uneasy in front of me today!
However, in the next moment, the Dark Phoenix felt a dreadful thrill in the deep end of his spiritual soul.
The thrill turned into an excruciating pain in the blink of an eye, which kept on tearing his spiritual soul apart.
The Dark Phoenix let out a painful shriek as he tumbled around in the sky, the blood-red feathers leaving his body and flying in all directions.
The thrill came from the distant Chaotian and Aoyama. It was the feeling he was most familiar with and also the most fearful of.
The green bamboo board was broken into pieces!
Jingyang promised him freedom many years ago and took out his blood from the life board; but why could he control the Dark Phoenix by means of the life board?
The Dark Phoenix was very powerful that day, and even Cao Yuan had a hard time defeating him; but he couldn't overcome the thrill in the deep end of his spiritual soul.
The Dark Phoenix tried his best to steady his mind and flew to the high sky while enduring the excruciating pain. He intended to hide in the deep end of the Heavenly Slaying Formation and see if he could cut off the connection with the life board.
A great amount of blood seeped out from his feathers, falling down like raindrops; it was a dreadful scene.
The Dark Phoenix's eyes were full of fear and bewilderment, as he had no idea what was going on.
In the next moment, he remembered that he had wounded Jingyang in Zhaoge City last year, but he was also wounded by him, and a feather of his tail was left behind …
Was it possible that Jingyang had retrieved the feather of his tail and used a certain method to take out the blood and seal it back into the life board?
As the Dark Phoenix was thinking of all this, a bright broadsword light rose up from the Huge Whirlpool.
The blood-red feathers fell down again.
"Jingyang, you're a liar!"
The Dark Phoenix let out an angry and painful shriek as he flew to a higher altitude.
All of a sudden, a cudgel appeared in the sky.
The sky was very large, so it should be easy to evade it; but the cudgel was also very large.
The cudgel was one hundred feet thick, looking like a huge tree on Penglai Island. It didn't explode on the surface of the ocean until it arrived in front of the Dark Phoenix with a thunderous sound.
There was a loud bang.
The Dark Phoenix was knocked away by the cudgel, turning into a black speck on the horizon.
A dozen blood-red feathers were left drifting in the sky, gradually dispersing.
Looking at the scene in the sky, Cao Yuan remarked sentimentally, "Jingyang didn't lie. He said there was no need to worry about you; it turns out that there was no need to worry about you at all."
A huge dark figure appeared on the surface of the ocean.
Boom!!! An object that looked like a stone pillar fell into the ocean, trampling a few demons to death.
The seawater bounced back after hitting the stone wall, forming a few small whirlpools. The flow of seawater flowing forward was much smaller now.
Looking down at the small Buddha in the Huge Whirlpool, the Giant asked uncertainly, "Is it Aja?"
…
…
(He had diarrhea today. His stomach kept growling, and he had to go to the toilet all the time. He was even more miserable than the Dark Phoenix.)
