"Hmm?
Human, I sense a familiar aura on your body, and that girl! "
The Fire Phoenix's sharp eyes stared at Ye Qing and Qiuye Xuan, sensing their bodies.
He had been with the Fire Feather Dark Wolf for many years. As long as he sensed carefully, he could sense his brother's aura.
As expected, there were remnants of the Fire Feather Dark Wolf's aura on Ye Qing and Qiuye Xuan's body. Among them, the aura on Ye Qing's body was the strongest!
"That's right, Lord Fire Phoenix. It was the two of them who killed the Fire Feather Dark Wolf and even roasted its leg!" Xu Yuan added.
The Fire Phoenix was enraged and let out a cry. Its cold eyes swept over. This time, it was not directed at Ye Qing and Qiuye Xuan, but at Xu Yuan.
"Noisy human, I already know!
There's no need for you to say more!
My second brother is dead. Don't even think about leaving. I'll use your blood to comfort my second brother's soul in heaven! "
The Fire Phoenix sent out a terrifying thought. In the next moment, a terrifying ball of Nine Phoenix Heaven Burning Flames appeared in the sky!
The Nine Phoenix Heaven Burning Flames condensed into a ball. A ball of scarlet flames attacked at an unimaginable speed.
Xu Yuan reacted and cold sweat flowed down his face. Under the opponent's attack, he had no choice but to use all his means.
"Inescapable Net Palm!"
In the face of a life and death crisis, Xu Yuan took out his trump card. He forcefully mobilized the little essence force in his body and executed a low-grade emperor rank martial skill, Inescapable Net Palm!
In the void, a palm shadow appeared, covering the sky and the earth, and bombarded the ball of Nine Phoenix Heaven Burning Flames.
"Fellow disciples, face the enemy with me!
We must kill our way out of this encirclement. Otherwise, we will all die! "When Xu Yuan attacked, he did not forget to call the other inner sect disciples together.
Xu Yuan knew how powerful the Fire Phoenix was. It was an existence far above the Fire Feather Dark Wolf. He could not even defeat the Fire Feather Dark Wolf, not to mention the Fire Phoenix.
The only way now was to gather the strength of all the inner sect disciples present and see if they could kill their way out.
Just as the Fire Phoenix attacked, many inner sect disciples were alerted and wanted to lend a helping hand to fight against the enemy with Xu Yuan.
Unfortunately, their speed was too slow and they simply couldn't react in time. That ball of blazing Nine Phoenix Heavenly Incineration Flames had already blasted over with unstoppable momentum.
"Bang!"
The palm image in the sky suddenly collapsed. Xu Yuan's Inferior Grade Monarch Martial Technique, Inescapable Net Palm, clearly had not reached perfection. He was simply not a match for the Fire Phoenix.
In merely a short moment, Xu Yuan suffered a heavy injury. His hair was burned off, and his body turned into charcoal. He was in a miserable state.
"Boom!" Xu Yuan's body fell down. There was no longer a trace of life in his body. The power of the Nine Phoenix Burning Heaven Flame was too strong; it could affect the insides of the human body. Once infected, it would be very difficult to expel it.
Even if it was just a little bit of the Nine Phoenix Burning Heaven Flame, it would be fatal. If it wasn't for the fact that one's cultivation was extremely high, one would basically be dead for sure.
In the end, even the internal organs of those who came into contact with the Nine Phoenix Heaven-Incinerating Flames would be incinerated into nothingness, and they would ultimately perish!
The Fire Phoenix went berserk and killed Xu Yuan in one strike, shocking everyone present.
Ye Qing was immediately unhappy and shouted, "Damn it, my treasure chest!"
In Ye Qing's heart, Xu Yuan had always been his prey. He had to find a chance to kill Xu Yuan.
With Xu Yuan's cultivation at the Third Stage of the Indestructible Realm, if Ye Qing killed him, there would be a higher probability of a treasure chest dropping.
However, now that Xu Yuan had died in the hands of the Fire Phoenix, how could Ye Qing still obtain the treasure chest?
When the inner sect disciples heard this, their faces were filled with confusion. What treasure chest? They completely did not understand. There was no treasure chest on the ground at all.
Ye Qing's expression was awkward. He had accidentally let it slip. His main purpose of coming to Phoenix Perch Mountain was to pick up the treasure chest.
Previously, when he killed the Fire Feather Dark Wolf, there was no treasure chest dropping. His luck was already bad enough. Now, his prey, Xu Yuan, had been killed by the Fire Phoenix …
"Fire Phoenix, compensate me for the treasure chest!" Ye Qing hooted, unwilling to let it go.
The Fire Phoenix's eyes were dangerous. Its entire body was filled with scarlet flames and murderous aura. "Ignorant!
Lowly humans, you will all die today! "
The Fire Phoenix did not care about the treasure chest. What it wanted to do the most now was to chop Ye Qing and Qiuye Xuan into eight pieces to avenge the Fire Feather Dark Wolf.
After Xu Yuan's death, the inner sect disciples present all panicked. Among them, there were inner sect disciples who sent out a signal flare to ask for help from Higashiba Seimune.
Within Higashiba Seimune, there were still many experts. After the emergency signal flare was sent out, it would not be long before they would be able to receive help from Higashiba Seimune.
However, before the reinforcements arrived, if they could not survive the Fire Phoenix's attack, then it would all be futile.
"Everyone, what should we do now?"
"Even Senior Brother Xu Yuan is dead. What else can we do?"
"In my opinion, everyone should scatter and run for their lives. Whoever survives will depend on luck!"
The inner sect disciples were all talking at once. Their faces were filled with fear.
At this critical moment, Ye Qing stepped out and took the lead. With a righteous look, he said indifferently, "Everyone, you all go first. I, Ye Qing, will cover the rear. I will ensure your safety!"
Ye Qing was filled with righteousness. He stepped out and blocked in front of everyone. His tall figure was like an iron tower. Wind and rain could not move him.
Qiuye Xuan was greatly moved. He looked at Ye Qing with stars in his eyes.
At this critical moment, Ye Qing dared to step out and disregarded his own safety to cover everyone's retreat. This noble character and unquestionable integrity was admirable!
In Qiuye Xuan's heart, Ye Qing's image became incomparably high. He was the best spouse in his heart.
"No, Senior Brother Ye, I will stay with you and fight the Fire Phoenix together!" Qiuye Xuan quickly stood out and said.
"That's right, I will stay too!"
"The Fire Phoenix is powerful. Senior Brother Ye is not a match for it alone. We will stay and help you!"
Among the crowd, there were some righteous inner sect disciples who were not afraid of danger. They stood out and shouted that they would live and die with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing's face was filled with a tragic expression. He turned to face the crowd and said passionately, "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?
Everyone, don't stay with me. Hurry up and run for your lives. I will buy time for everyone! "
Ye Qing's words made the blood of the inner sect disciples boil. They were extremely emotional.
Only now did they truly see Ye Qing. They knew that Ye Qing was a righteous hero. When everyone was in danger, he was the first to step out and disregarded his own safety.
"Senior Brother Ye, you are a good person!"
"I misjudged Senior Brother Ye previously. I did not expect Senior Brother Ye to be so righteous. You are truly a role model for our generation!"
"Senior Brother Ye, I will remember you forever. I hope you can survive!"
"Don't say anymore. The situation is urgent. Everyone, retreat quickly!"
The inner sect disciples discussed animatedly. Under the burning of the Nine Phoenix Heaven Burning Flames, they could no longer bear it and were prepared to escape.
"Everyone, take care!"
Ye Qing waved his hand behind him, and a resolute expression appeared on his face as he took the initiative to charge towards the Fire Phoenix. That fearless expression, that action that was like a moth flying into a flame, caused many of the inner sect disciples to tear up, their hearts moved …
