Chapter 1299 - 1298: A Noble Phoenix?
Liu Jingchen was engaged in a fight with the masked figure in black. Upon hearing the screams of Wei Hu and the others, he had a bad feeling. When he glanced over, he saw that Wei Hu had been burned by flames, and ten Saint Guards lay dead on the ground.
His heart sank inexplicably; how could Wei Hu and the ten Saint Guards be wiped out in such a short time?
Wei Hu had the power of the Saint Ancestor at the Sixth Layer, and although the ten Saint Guards were slightly weaker, they possessed Saint Sect power at the Eighth to Ninth Layer, comparable to a City Lord of the Holy Dragon Continent.
But whether it was Wei Hu with Saint Ancestor strength or the ten Saint Guards with Saint Sect strength, they were all effortlessly taken down by Lin Fei.
This gave Liu Jingchen a very bad foreboding.
Furthermore, there was another equally troublesome masked figure in black; Liu Jingchen felt his situation was dire.
He then, while fighting with the masked figure, quietly channeled Holy Qi to the golden ring on his right thumb.
The surface of this gold ring was inscribed with mysterious runes, and under the condensation of his Holy Qi power, the ring immediately emitted strands of golden light.
Then, Liu Jingchen's lips moved as if chanting an incantation or speaking with someone.
"Sound Transmission Ring?" the masked figure seemed to realize something and looked at the radiant golden ring on Liu Jingchen's hand, saying coldly, "Looks like you're asking your old man for help."
"Too bad the distance to your father in the Holy Dragon Realm isn't just hundreds of thousands of miles, but it could be several million miles. Your father won't be able to arrive here in a day, but by the time he does, you'll already be a corpse."
Liu Jingchen was indeed using the Sound Transmission Ring to urgently call his father for help.
Because he knew, with a masked figure like this, plus Lin Fei, it's not only unfavorable for him to seize the Celestial Saint Gem, but it could also threaten his life.
"Don't be so arrogant, I've already transmitted to my father about your appearance. If anything happens to me, my father will search all over the Holy Dragon Continent to find you," Liu Jingchen's eyes flashed fiercely.
The masked figure in black said coldly, "Very well, I'll kill you and see how your old man finds me out."
As the words fell, the figure wielded twin axes, attacking the giant shield projection in front of Liu Jingchen like a lightning storm, with fury like a raging tempest.
Booming sounds echoed like continuous thunder.
Suddenly, with a loud crash, the giant shield projection in front of Liu Jingchen shattered under the masked figure's relentless assault, dissipating into smoke in the air.
Liu Jingchen could only use his sword to strike back at the masked figure, with both parties being shaken several meters apart by the strong force.
After Lin Fei killed Wei Hu and the ten Saint Guards, he absorbed the Saint Fire into his body, still holding the Anger Dragon Sword as he observed Liu Jingchen and the masked figure in combat. He wasn't in a hurry to join them in battle.
After all, both the masked figure and Liu Jingchen were Lin Fei's enemies.
Their mutual slaughter provided Lin Fei with a chance to watch.
However, just then, a loud explosion shook the heavens.
Instantly, rocks and soil flew, trees toppled, and the mountain top burst open.
Consequently, the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain began to collapse, rumbling as it shook heaven and earth.
Lin Fei, being at the top of Dragon Tiger Mountain when it suddenly exploded, quickly flew into the sky.
And the masked figure and Liu Jingchen also flew off the mountain top, rising into the air.
From above, Lin Fei suddenly thought of Leng Ying, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, Qian Songyixue, and others still on the mountainside. His eyes revealed a worried expression.
Looking immediately towards the mountainside, he saw many severely injured high cultivators from Ten Thousand Swords City and the corpses of those already dead, all buried under the collapsing Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The scene was truly tragic and solemn.
Even Lin Fei couldn't save them.
However, those who were injured but could still fly all took to the sky at the moment of Dragon Tiger Mountain's collapse to escape.
"Lin Fei!" Just then, a group of people quickly flew up from below, calling Lin Fei's name.
As Lin Fei saw these people, the worry on his face vanished, because it was Leng Ying, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, Qian Songyixue, and others coming up to him.
Further below, countless Ten Thousand Swords City cultivators were flying up.
Quickly, Leng Ying, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, and others, along with these cultivators, appeared in the air around Lin Fei.
At this moment, the collapsed Dragon Tiger Mountain resounded with deafening noise, creating a huge shockwave that caused the earth within hundreds of miles to tremble. During the collapse, the swirling dust was accompanied by an overwhelmingly radiant light shooting up to the sky.
An immense, suffocating aura suddenly filled the heaven and earth.
Lin Fei could sense this suffocating aura had an indescribable dangerous vibe.
He decisively said to Qiu Qiming: "Qi Ming, immediately lead all high cultivators of Ten Thousand Swords City to retreat to ten miles away; it's dangerous here!"
Qiu Qiming followed Lin Fei's words without any doubt, directly commanding all cultivators: "All Ten Thousand Swords City experts, follow me and retreat ten miles now."
"Yes, City Lord Qiu." All Ten Thousand Swords City experts immediately responded.
Then, countless cultivators from Ten Thousand Swords City urgently retreated ten miles away with Qiu Qiming.
Lin Fei quickly said to Leng Ying, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, and others: "You also retreat five miles!"
Leng Ying, Yuan Yuxi, and the others knew well that Lin Fei was always prudent with his actions, so when he asked them to retreat, it was certainly due to discovering a tremendous danger.
Without saying much, they promptly retreated.
After Leng Ying and the others left, Lin Fei remained alone in the air, staring closely at the collapsing, tumultuous, dusty Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Meanwhile, several hundred meters on the other side in the air, the masked figure and Liu Jingchen also stopped fighting, keeping a close watch on the collapsing Dragon Tiger Mountain, with an indescribably excited glint in their eyes.
"Gah!—" At that moment, from the swirling dust of the collapsing Dragon Tiger Mountain, came an incredibly piercing cry like the sound of a flying creature.
With this resonating cry of the flying creature, the radiant light bursting from the dust grew increasingly vivid and intense, illuminating every mountain and the sky and earth for dozens of miles, like a painting of dazzling colors, crafting a dreamlike world.
From the rolling dust emerged a gigantic flying creature.
A massive bird covered in various dazzling colors flew out.
This bird was over ten meters long, bearing a striking resemblance to a phoenix, with nine trailing tail feathers, each colorful like ribbons, mesmerizing everyone.
The magnificent bird had a high-raised head, a golden crown, bright and clear eyes, and long red claws.
Flying with elegance and beauty, exuding a regal and noble aura.
Lin Fei couldn't help but be stunned; what kind of bird is this?
Could the sudden collapse of Dragon Tiger Mountain be related to this beautiful and noble bird?
