The peacock's name was Nanke, also known as the Surpassing Bird. When describing innate bloodlines, the latter was usually used.
Flowing through Nanke's body was the true blood of the Surpassing Bird. This kind of blood was so cold that it penetrated to the bone, turning into frost upon contact with the wind. Compared to the techniques of the Snow Mountain Sect in the northwest, it was naturally many times stronger. Besides the blood of the Black Frost Dragon, it was difficult to find such an extremely cold substance in the world. And the even more terrifying aspect of the Surpassing Bird's blood was that this kind of blood was extremely poisonous. Even the strongest monster could not resist it.
The mottled blood flowed from Nanke's wrist to the hilt of the sword, and then dyed the Wutong longbow. If it were a normal person, they would have died long ago, but Xu Yourong was not. She was not frozen into an ice sculpture by Nanke's blood, nor was she infected by the poison in her blood. This was because she was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Phoenix. Flowing through her body was the true blood of the Heavenly Phoenix. Her blood possessed infinite light and heat, able to burn everything.
The battle on the peak of Sunset Valley had reached its final stage. Xu Yourong and Nanke finally began the contest of innate bloodlines. In the previous battles, they had already proven that whether it was in terms of cultivation, the strength of their willpower, spiritual sense, or sword techniques and archery, their levels were almost completely the same. Now, it was time to see whose blood could burn this world or freeze this world.
In the land of demons, in the world of humans, and in White Emperor City by the Red River, in the countless legends, the Phoenix was the king of birds. Logically speaking, Xu Yourong would definitely obtain the final victory in this contest of innate bloodlines. However, it could not be forgotten that in those countless legends, there was always a peacock that proudly and coldly looked at the world of birds. That peacock had never obeyed the will of the Phoenix.
If the Phoenix really could easily defeat the Peacock, how could the Peacock dare to disobey? How could it still possess its own cold pride and freedom? This illustrated a very obvious fact. The greatest difference between the Peacock and the Phoenix was the difference in temperament and worldview, which brought about different choices. However, the strength of their bloodlines was actually very similar.
Xu Yourong and Nanke's blood continued to flow, dyeing the hilt and blade of the sword, as well as the body of the bow. Afterwards, it landed on the surface of the cliff between the two. Those hard rocks also began to violently and violently burn.
The entire summit of Sunset Valley began to burn. Regardless of whether it was the golden Sacred Fire of Light or the gloomy and cold Ice Fire, they were all true flames. It was as if they could scorch even the soul.
Two incomparably powerful auras continued to rise as the two noble and proud bloodlines clashed. The Void Realm that the zither-playing old man had set up could no longer endure. With countless crackling sounds, it turned into countless pieces of transparent glass and then disappeared into the night sky.
A wave of light spread out in all directions from Xu Yourong and Nanke's bodies. In an instant, they were several hundred miles away! In the darkness of the night, the Sunset Valley Mountain Ridge was illuminated as if it was daytime. The vast grassland in front of the peak suddenly brightened, especially on the outskirts. The wild grass also seemed to truly begin to burn. The fine, sinister, and terrifying sounds in the depths of the grassland suddenly disappeared. Countless powerful demonic beasts sensed the two incomparably noble and powerful Qis contained within the wave of light that came from the peak. They did not dare to act rashly.
"It really is amazing," Liu Wan 'er said in shock as she gazed in the direction of Sunset Valley.
This Demon General couple was on the outskirts of the grassland to prevent Zhexiu and Qi Jian from escaping. After eating dinner, they were currently washing the dishes. They did not expect that such a terrifying battle was currently taking place on the distant peak.
Teng Xiaoming placed the bowl in the basket and asked, "Should we go over and help?"
With the strength of their spiritual senses, they could clearly feel the intensity of the battle on the peak of Sunset Valley. The golden flame that came from the true blood of the Heavenly Phoenix was just too bright.
"There's no time." Liu Wan 'er shook her head. "Also, Her Highness will not like our unnecessary actions. Since the Military Advisor said that Xu Yourong is dead, then she is definitely dead."
The Void Realm that separated the peak of Sunset Valley and the lonely mountain path from the world of the Garden of Zhou was broken. The Black Dragon that was flying high in the night sky finally saw the scene below for the first time. Only now did she know that Xu Yourong had already left long ago. That fateful battle had already begun.
At this moment, many people in the Garden of Zhou had already noticed the battle on the peak of Sunset Valley. Although they could not see the details clearly and did not know who was fighting who, the violent flames on the peak and the terrifying and powerful Qi faintly emitted from the flames were enough to move and shock them.
The Black Dragon did not. She looked down at the two girls on the peak. The expression in her vertical pupils was very cold and indifferent, and even faintly contained some disdain. If she was not a spiritual soul and had come with her real body, let alone such an intense and lively battle between the two girls on the peak, just a casual breath of her dragon's breath would probably extinguish the flames.
"In this tiny world, two little birds play with fire. Ants boast of a great country. How easy is it for an ant to shake a tree?"
She thought of these words with slight mockery, but in the next moment, she suddenly realized that the Qi emitted from the blood and flames burning on the peak of Sunset Valley actually made her somewhat vigilant … As it turned out, those two girls were not ordinary little birds. If their bloodlines were completely awakened, they would actually be on the same level as her.
… …
… …
On the peak of Sunset Valley, two noble but completely different streams of blood mixed together. Two bright and gloomy flames also mixed together. This was the so-called blending of blood and fire. Passing through the layers of flames and the surface of the sword and bow, Xu Yourong's and Nanke's gazes met, and their spiritual worlds faintly connected.
In just an instant, Xu Yourong saw many scenes. They were scenes of Xuelao City, scenes of the Demon Palace, and scenes of the growth of that girl who looked like a pigweed farmer.
On the contrary, Nanke saw very few scenes. She only saw the small stone bridge outside the Divine General of the East's estate, the catkins under the bridge, and the campus of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green.
Nanke did not conceal anything. She was cold and proud, not afraid of anyone, not even an opponent like Xu Yourong, seeing her true heart. And for some reason, Xu Yourong, who should have been even more radiant, had, in these past few years of cultivation, intentionally or unintentionally, covered her spiritual world with many veils.
"The phoenix really is the most hypocritical of creatures. If you want to become the ruler of the decaying throne, do you have to live so miserly like you? Then you might as well just die. "
Nanke looked into her eyes and coldly said in the spiritual world that was connected.
Xu Yourong did not respond. She calmly asked, "Do you want to die with me?"
Nanke indifferently said, "I'm not afraid of death, but you are. So if we die together, the first to die will definitely be you."
Xu Yourong slightly raised her brows. She did not like this method of battle, and she also did not like the way Nanke spoke. She believed that life and death were objects worthy of reverence, and should not be mentioned so lightly.
Nanke stared at her and said, "You humans always believe in that nonsense: the stronger the ability, the heavier the responsibility. Since it's like this, you don't dare to die, because you still have many responsibilities on your shoulders."
Xu Yourong calmly asked, "Then what about you? As a Demon Princess, don't you need to bear responsibilities? "
Nanke indifferently said, "I have several dozen brothers and sisters. The responsibilities I need to bear are extremely few, other than my own desires and my teacher's expectations."
After a moment of silence, Xu Yourong said, "Does your father know of this matter? If you die in the Garden of Zhou today, will something happen between your teacher and your father? "
It was a very simple conversation. It talked about life and death and responsibility, but it did not argue any reason. It just wanted to let the other party know that she did not fear death, and that the other party definitely had a reason to fear death.
This conversation took place in the connected spiritual world, and the attack was also the spiritual world.
It was very obvious that the words that Xu Yourong had said after some thought did not achieve the desired effect. Nanke's expression was still indifferent, as if she did not care at all about her own life or the future of the demons.
"The Divine race needs powerful descendants and the glory of victory. As long as I can kill you, I will prove that the bloodline of the Divine race will always be the noblest. How can Father be sad or disappointed? He will only be happy to compose a few long poems and carve them on my gravestone. "
After saying this, Nanke took a step forward. Her indifferent expression was incomparably firm, and the blood that flowed from her hands that gripped the hilt of her sword suddenly sped up.
As she took this step, a crack appeared on the cliff several hundred zhang away, and a rock several zhang in circumference collapsed into the abyss.
The Southern Cross Swords became even brighter. One in front of her was like a real river of stars, while the other was behind her. It was like a peacock spreading its tail, blocking the rain of arrows that came from all directions.
The cold and mottled blood transformed into countless flames, fiercely burning on the cliff. Her expression was still indifferent, as if she could not feel any pain, nor was she afraid of death.
She looked into Xu Yourong's eyes, and finally said in the spiritual world, "You really are very strong. If I want to kill you, I obviously have to bleed a bit more."
Xu Yourong's expression was still serene, without a trace of exhaustion. However, she had not slept or rested for two consecutive days, rushing through the mountains and fields, using the Sacred Light to save people. In reality, she was already very tired.
How could she defeat the already crazy Nanke?
She could only exchange blood for blood.
With a thought, blood flowed out of her hand that gripped the longbow like a spring. The pure and holy golden flames burned fiercely, causing the abruptly cold cliff to warm up once more.
That pure and powerful Qi was endlessly released from her body.
Two powerful Qis clashed, rushing from the peak of Sunset Valley towards the night sky.
Only a light crack could be heard from some distant place. In the depths of the night sky, a crack suddenly appeared on a seemingly transparent curved surface, and then a meteor fell.
This place was the Garden of Zhou, so that meteor was probably not a real meteor, but it was also not a Wu Arrow. The meteor landed somewhere on the outskirts of Sunset Valley. With a loud bang, the entire mountain ridge began to shake — a cliff on the side of Sunset Valley had completely collapsed.
Xu Yourong and Nanke looked at each other, but did not pay any attention.
Their blood constantly flowed, and their Qi constantly rose.
More and more crackling sounds rang out in the night sky, and more and more meteors appeared, falling towards Sunset Valley.

(This chapter was written last night, and will be updated regularly. Today, I spent the entire day on the plane and at the rehearsal site, so I definitely had no time to write. Everyone is very interested in the scene of Yourong shooting arrows, and has asked a few questions. They really scratched my itch, so I will post a picture on my official WeChat account. Yes, sit down! In addition, the name of the chapter has that meaning. It's been a long time since I've played mahjong. Actually, I really like it, but the cervical vertebra … everyone knows, it's an occupational disease. Finally, touch it.)
