Her slender and fair finger pointed at the sky as it gently clashed with the golden spear that brought along the images of the True Dragon and Phoenix.
ybdu!
In that instant of collision, the entire heavens and earth had turned silent.
Mu Chen tightly stared at the point of contact. However, there wasn't any earth-shattering noise coming from such a terrifying collision. Instead, a smear of pitch-black suddenly blossomed on Cai Xiao's fingertip.
That smear of pitch-black was like a drop of ink that fell into a pond as it swiftly spread out. In the blink of an eye, it had formed into a black hole that was roughly a hundred feet in size!
The black hole revolved as if it wanted to devour everything in the world. Anything that fell into it would be turned into nothingness in the eternal darkness.
Roar!
The True Dragon and Phoenix roared as the golden spear emitted an astonishing Battle Will in an attempt to pierce through the black hole. But in reality, the golden spear was slowly sucked into the black hole. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free from the terrifying suction force.
The golden-armoured Guardian furiously roared as a golden lustre violently surged as it attempted to struggle. But in the end, it was futile. At this moment, Cai Xiao seemed to have displayed an astonishing power.
The black hole revolved on Cai Xiao's fingertip as the golden spear was devoured, bit by bit, before it completely disappeared within it.
Rustle!
In that instant when the golden spear was devoured by the black hole, the hundred-foot black hole abruptly shrunk and turned into a tiny black dot. It was like a smear of ink on Cai Xiao's fingertip as she pointed her finger out.
It swiftly tapped on the forehead of the golden-armoured Guardian like a bolt of lightning.
There weren't any strange noises that rang out, but the golden-armoured Guardian's body froze in that instant.
Even the dazzling golden lustre that was emitting from it had dimmed down at an astonishing speed.
Its arm, which was covered in dragon scales, trembled as it tried to grab Cai Xiao. However, in the end, it powerlessly drooped down. Its entire body fell to the ground with a loud bang. The boundless Spiritual Energy had completely disappeared.
Mu Chen was dumbfounded as he watched this scene unfold before him.
He must have been shocked by Cai Xiao's attack. Such an attack was simply sharp to the limit.
Cai Xiao stared at the fallen golden-armored guardian.
Her gorgeous hair swiftly recovered at this moment, becoming jet-black and soft. Her pupils, which were filled with seven colors, also returned to their original color.
Her delicate body trembled slightly.
Unexpectedly, he also fell backwards.
A figure appeared behind him just in time.
Stretching out his arm to hug her slender waist, Mu Chen discovered that Cai Xiao's cheeks were a little pale at this moment. It seemed that the attack that instantly killed the golden-armored Guardian had consumed a lot of her energy.
"Are you okay?" Mu Chen asked worriedly.
Cai Xiao gently shook her head before standing up. Mu Chen loosened his arm at the right time, not wanting to part with the soft touch that made his heart ripple.
"It's fine. It's finally over." Cai Xiao glanced at the lifeless golden-armored Guardian on the ground.
He heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. If even this couldn't get rid of it,
If that wasn't enough to get rid of it, then they could only retreat this time.
Mu Chen walked forward and carefully knocked on the golden-armored Guardian with his finger. However, an empty sound came from under the golden armor, causing him to be stunned for a moment. Shortly after, he lifted the armor, only to discover that there was nothing under the armor. The golden-armored Guardian seemed to have completely disappeared...
"It was struck by my Heaven Devouring Finger and its physical body was devoured." Cai Xiao casually said.
When Mu Chen heard this, he immediately sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Such a method was truly overbearing. Cai Xiao's origin was indeed mysterious to be able to grasp such a powerful method.
"But this armor doesn't seem to be an ordinary item."
Cai Xiao clenched her hand and the golden armor floated in front of her. This golden armor was refined from the scales of a True Dragon and its toughness was indescribable. Furthermore, on the back of the armor, one could faintly see the patterns of wings...
"This armor is fused with the power of the True Dragon and Phoenix …" Mu Chen also came over and said with some shock. So it turned out that the phoenix wings on the back of the golden-armored Guardian relied on this armor.
"Good stuff."
Mu Chen couldn't help praising. This Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor possessed the powerful defense of the scales of a True Dragon and the speed of a True Phoenix. Such an ability was something that even a High Rank Divine Artifact couldn't compare to. If this news were to spread out, it would definitely attract countless people to fight over it.
"You still haven't seen the true power of this Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor." Cai Xiao lightly smiled.
When Mu Chen heard this, he was stunned.
"The power of the True Dragon and True Phoenix can be said to be like fire and water. Since you have cultivated the Ersatz Dragon Physique, you should be even more clear about this. Even if the Dragon-Phoenix Pool contains the blood essence of the True Dragon and Phoenix, they will corrode each other in the end. Only when a victor appears will you be able to absorb it."
Cai Xiao gently pointed at the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor before her and said, "However, it's different. It has truly fused the two powers together. I believe that the reason why the golden-armored Guardian is able to possess the power of the True Dragon and Phoenix isn't because of how outstanding it is, but because of this Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor …"
"You mean …" The corner of Mu Chen's eyes couldn't help twitching as a blaze climbed up from the depths of his eyes.
"That's right. If you are able to possess this Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor, you might be able to absorb the blood essence of the True Dragon and True Phoenix at the same time. At that time, you might be able to cultivate the True Dragon Physique and the True Phoenix Physique at the same time … Haha, perhaps it should be called the Dragon-Phoenix Physique …" Cai Xiao chuckled.
"Dragon-Phoenix Physique."
Mu Chen licked his lips. Even if he had a pretty good composure, he still couldn't help feeling excited in his heart. Throughout the years that the Dragon-Phoenix Haven had been opened, there were many talented individuals who had obtained the True Dragon Physique and the True Phoenix Physique. However, he had never heard of anyone being able to obtain both of them at the same time. From this, it could be seen how unrealistic such a thought was.
But right now, there was actually a trace of hope for such an unrealistic thing. How could this not cause ripples in Mu Chen's heart?
The ripples in Mu Chen's heart lasted for a long time before it gradually calmed down.
He took a glance at the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor before looking at Cai Xiao and said, "You were the one who dealt with this golden-armored Guardian …"
He wasn't really blinded by it.
That's because he knew that if it wasn't for Cai Xiao, he might not even be able to come here, let alone lay a finger on such a divine object.
"Take it. Don't be wishy-washy. If it wasn't for you doing your best to stop it, I wouldn't have been able to deal with it.
Moreover, although this Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor is rare, it might not be able to move my heart. "Cai Xiao flicked her finger.
The Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor turned into a golden light and shot towards Mu Chen. She waved her lily-white hand and smiled.
"What a rich family."
Although he knew that this was Cai Xiao's excuse, Mu Chen still couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Soon after, he didn't argue any further.
He reached out to receive the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor and nodded sincerely towards Cai Xiao. "Thank you this time. If there's anything you need in the future, don't hesitate to call me."
"You're pretty arrogant."
Cai Xiao looked at Mu Chen in ridicule. With her status, if there was anything she needed help with, Mu Chen's strength.
He probably wouldn't be able to help her in the slightest.
"It might not be enough now, but in the future.
Who knows? "
Mu Chen stroked the cold scales of the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour as he lightly smiled. Although his smile was calm, the confidence in it made Cai Xiao a little startled. That's because she could sense that it wasn't a blind arrogance, but the confidence and perseverance he had for himself.
Who knew if the fledgling today wouldn't be able to look down on the heavens in the future?
Cai Xiao stared at Mu Chen for a brief moment as she sweetly smiled and nodded her head. "Alright, using the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour to exchange for the favour of a future powerhouse seems to be pretty worth it."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled embarrassedly. If it was someone else, they would probably roll their eyes at him for making such an empty promise.
"Now, it's time to enjoy the fruits of the battle."
Cai Xiao looked at the Dragon-Phoenix Pool that was filled with golden water before looking at the golden sapling with a blazing gaze. On the sapling, the three Dragon-Phoenix Fruits were emitting a dazzling lustre. They were the most dazzling thing in this region.
Cai Xiao and Mu Chen exchanged a glance, before their silhouettes moved and appeared before the golden sapling, preparing to pluck it.
Poof!
However, just when they were about to make a move, the space around the golden sapling suddenly distorted. The distorted space seemed to have turned into a blade as it swept out. The three Dragon-Phoenix Fruits immediately fell into the distorted space and disappeared.
The sudden change of events caused Cai Xiao and Mu Chen to be stunned, before their faces immediately turned cold.
"Why do you geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Record like to do such shady things?!" Cai Xiao looked at the void and sneered.
Rustle!
As she sneered, her silhouette had already disappeared and appeared in a void. Her fair hand had immediately slapped out, shattering space.
Boom!
A palm fiercely slapped out from the shattered space and clashed with Cai Xiao's palm. Instantly, a Spiritual Energy fluctuation swept out, causing Cai Xiao's figure to slightly tremble.
After experiencing the intense battle with the Guardian of the Gold Coins, her condition had clearly weakened.
But even so, it was still impossible to snatch the food from her hands. She formed a seal with her jade-like hands, causing a seven-coloured light to appear. After which, her jade-like fingers abruptly pierced into the empty space and streaked across.
Space shattered as a few drops of blood splattered out. As space fluctuated, a light figure streaked across like a bolt of lightning, before fleeing at a stunning speed. That speed was something that even Cai Xiao couldn't catch up to.
Cai Xiao looked at the light figure that was leaving with a cold expression. A brief moment later, she slowly descended and flicked her finger. Two Dragon-Phoenix Fruits that were emitting golden light appeared before her.
"One of them was taken by him."
Cai Xiao's voice was cold. Although she had managed to snatch back two Dragon-Phoenix Fruits, this matter still made her feel extremely unhappy.
Mu Chen looked at the two Dragon-Phoenix Fruits and felt relieved. Fortunately, the two Dragon-Phoenix Fruits had already matured. The one that was lost was the Dragon-Phoenix Fruit that had just been born not long ago.
Turning his head, he looked at the location where the light figure had disappeared with a smear of cold on his face. Although that light figure had yet to reveal himself, Mu Chen had already figured out his identity.
To be able to find out their tracks and quietly follow them over to snatch a Dragon-Phoenix Fruit from Cai Xiao, aside from the first ranker on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, there shouldn't be anyone else in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
"Divine Pavilion's Fang Yi …"
