As they spoke, Zhi Hongyu's hands turned, and the countless Flame Blades swiftly merged into a colossal fire serpent more than ten feet long.

Subsequently, under Zhi Hongyu's control, the fire serpent directly coiled towards Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was momentarily overwhelmed.

In order not to be trapped by the fire serpent, he had to retreat temporarily.

However, this retreat gave Zhi Hongyu the upper hand.

She sneered continuously, then fully controlled the fire serpent to launch a fierce attack on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to retreat again and again, quickly acquiring several injuries on his body.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's expression turned extremely grim.

His situation was too passive now.

If this continued, he would surely be defeated, and he might even lose his life!

It seemed he had to risk everything.

Just as Zhou Yu was determined to reveal his trump card, suddenly, a chilling voice resounded.

"Little wretch of the Xuanhuo Sect, he is mine."

"Get lost immediately!"

Along with this cold shout, a vast wing of flames appeared in the sky.

This enormous flaming wing dyed half the sky red.

The terrifying power, like a meteor shower's descent, fiercely blasted towards Zhi Hongyu in mid-air.

Zhi Hongyu, who initially had a sinister look, suddenly changed her expression.

"Yu Qingluan?"

"It's you!!!"

The newcomer was Yu Qingluan, who had previously saved Zhou Yu.

At this moment, Yu Qingluan was also ablaze with flames.

However, upon a glance, it was clear that Yu Qingluan's flames were much more formidable than Zhi Hongyu's.

In terms of fire play, Yu Qingluan surely had the upper hand.

Indeed, facing Yu Qingluan's strike, Zhi Hongyu immediately abandoned her attack on Zhou Yu and Shen Yin, then fully defended against Yu Qingluan.

Boom!

Accompanied by a searing explosion.

Zhi Hongyu was directly blasted away by the massive flaming wing.

Zhi Hongyu stabilized herself with extreme difficulty, but her clothes had turned pitch black from the burns.

If she was like a proud peacock earlier, she now resembled a roasted chicken.

Zhi Hongyu's face was full of rage.

"Yu Qingluan, you dare attack me."

"Are you tired of living?"

Yu Qingluan coldly sneered:

"Since when does a lowly fish like you dare to speak arrogantly in my presence?"

Yu Qingluan's aura completely crushed Zhi Hongyu.

As if, in Yu Qingluan's eyes, this Holy Daughter of the Xuanhuo Sect was nothing at all.

Zhi Hongyu angrily said:

"Yu Qingluan, do you still think you're the Yan Clan's Princess?"

"You've been expelled from the Yan Clan."

"Right now, you have no one backing you."

Hearing this, Yu Qingluan sneered.

"Is that so?"

As she spoke, a massive fiery silhouette suddenly appeared on her back.

The fiery silhouette seemed to be in the shape of a divine bird.

Its appearance exuded an aura that made one's heart tremble.

This terrifying aura was completely different from the aura of a powerful expert.

That aura felt like a deity from ancient times had descended.

Even Zhou Yu felt a heavy oppression.

Zhou Yu's eyes revealed a look of shock.

He hadn't expected Yu Qingluan to be so terrifyingly strong.

Meanwhile, Zhi Hongyu looked even more shocked than Zhou Yu.

She exclaimed involuntarily:

"This is..."

"The Ancient Phoenix Soul!"

"You've actually inherited the Ancient Phoenix Soul?"

"How is this possible!!!"

The so-called Ancient Phoenix Soul was the strongest Divine Beast worshipped by the Yan Clan.

It could even be said that the entire Yan Clan originated from the bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix.

For countless years, the Yan Clan's bloodline had weakened with each generation. Compared to the Ancient Times, they were much weaker now.

The fundamental reason was that the Yan Clan's bloodline had been continuously diluted through generations, becoming ever weaker.

Yet now, Yu Qingluan had awakened the Ancient Phoenix Soul, and although this did not mean she possessed the Ancient Phoenix bloodline, her talent was undoubtedly the strongest in the Yan Clan for a thousand years.

Moreover, the enhancement of Fire Magic by the Ancient Phoenix Soul was something the Holy Daughter of the Xuanhuo Sect, Zhi Hongyu, knew all too well.

No wonder Yu Qingluan's single strike had left her so humiliated.

But more infuriating to Zhi Hongyu was that if Yu Qingluan had indeed awakened the Ancient Phoenix Soul, the Yan Clan would never expel her.

This meant her information was false.

At this moment, Zhi Hongyu's expression turned extremely grim.

"Yu Qingluan, what do you want?"

"This is the Xuanhuo Sect's affair; it has nothing to do with your Yan Clan, right?"

Zhi Hongyu's tone was no longer as assertive as before.

Evidently, Yu Qingluan had exerted immense pressure on her.

However, Yu Qingluan snorted coldly.

"The person you're trying to involve is mine."

"Leave immediately!"

"Otherwise, I don't mind turning you into roast chicken."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu staggered.

In his impression, Yu Qingluan was the cold and serene type, yet he hadn't expected her to be so fierce when rebuking someone.

Meanwhile, Shen Yin looked at Zhou Yu with an odd expression.

"When did you become hers?"

"You don't seem like someone who would cling to others?"

"..."

Zhou Yu was utterly speechless.

At this point, Zhi Hongyu was exceedingly furious.

"Yu Qingluan, don't push it too far!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingluan said nothing further. She raised her hand and waved.

An intense, blinding ray burst forth from the Ancient Phoenix Soul behind her, heading straight for Zhi Hongyu.

Seeing this, Zhi Hongyu's face dramatically changed, and she immediately made a full-force attempt to defend.

But her fire magic, in front of Yu Qingluan, was like brandishing a saber in front of a master, utterly ineffective.

Bam!

Zhi Hongyu could only resist for less than three seconds before spitting blood and flying backward once more.

Yet Yu Qingluan showed no mercy, launching another attack, aimed directly at Zhi Hongyu's head...
