Chapter 639: Chapter 299: Hero Saves the Beauty

In ancient times, numerous demonic beasts rampaged across the world, such as the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, whose appearance foreshadowed calamity for the world.

At this time, Auspicious Beasts appeared, suppressing the inauspicious demonic beasts to maintain balance in the world.

Among them, the Phoenix stood as the foremost.

The Phoenix is a pair, Feng being male, and Huang being female.

As an ancient Auspicious Beast, the Phoenix is covered in golden feathers, shining brilliantly enough to illuminate the world’s darkness.

This is recorded in many ancient texts regarding the Phoenix.

People are filled with admiration and longing for this ancient Auspicious Beast.

Su Xin and Wei Wan, as disciples of the Zhenyang Sect, have quite a bit of knowledge about these Ancient Divine Beasts from the numerous texts they’ve read, and naturally, they understand the Phoenix well.

But at this moment, the scene before them completely shattered their previous understanding.

A massive bird, five zhang long, with a bird head and snake neck, wings like scimitars, and a tail like that of a goldfish, hovered coldly in the air, staring at them.

This figure and form distinctly matched the legendary Ancient Divine Phoenix.

But its feather color was not the auspicious gold, but a deep black!

"A black Divine Phoenix? How can this be?!"

Su Xin looked up at the enormous black Phoenix, her face full of shock.

Wei Wan said to Zhu Lin, "You’re a descendant of the Phoenix, have you ever heard of a black Divine Phoenix?"

Zhu Lin’s elegant face was full of astonishment, she murmured and shook her head, "The feathers of the Divine Phoenix in my clan are all golden, radiating brilliance, I’ve never heard of a black Divine Phoenix."

"What on earth is going on?"

As a member of the Phoenix Race, Zhu Lin naturally had a sense of the Ancient Divine Phoenix, and at this moment, she felt an innate reverence from this black Phoenix.

This was a genuine Ancient Divine Phoenix!

However, in this generation of the Phoenix Race, there is only one Celestial Phoenix Maiden, and after Huang transforms into a Phoenix Bird Beast, her feathers are also golden.

Yet, the feathers of this Ancient Divine Phoenix before them are black.

This is truly bizarre!

At this time, the black Divine Phoenix spoke, still in Li Qinghe’s voice:

"You are fortunate to witness my true body, it’s worth dying for."

After speaking, black flames rose from her body and she charged at the three of them!

"Rock Array!"

Wei Wan drew a solid array to enclose the three of them.

But as the Black Phoenix’s claws struck down, the Rock Array only lasted a moment before shattering; Su Xin waved her slender hand, and the Supreme As-Heart Sword transformed into a circular shield, barely blocking a strike from the Black Phoenix.

The Black Phoenix opened its mouth and spat out a black flame, engulfing the Supreme As-Heart Sword, which soon turned into a pile of ash.

Su Xin’s beautiful eyes narrowed, "This black flame is probably not weaker than Xia Qinglian’s Li Fire!"

"Sister!" Wei Wan’s Qingbo Sword was already in action, the Long Sword transformed into a green wave, rippling towards the Black Phoenix.

Su Xin understood, forming a sword with her fingers, a gentle Sword Qi also flew towards the Black Phoenix.

Her Supreme Soft Heart Sword usually only defends, not attacking, not because she couldn’t attack, but because she was unwilling.

Now, facing this bizarre black Divine Phoenix, Su Xin dared not hold back anymore, seeing the gentle Sword Qi rapidly expand in the air, finally transforming into a gigantic Immortal Sword, slowly pressing down towards the Black Phoenix!

Confronted with the Sword Qi Green Waves and the gigantic Sword Mountain, the Black Phoenix let out a long cry, vibrating its wings, its body turned into a streak of black light, first smashing through the green wave, then shattering the Sword Mountain.

Su Xin spat out a mouthful of blood, while Wei Wan was also pale, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

The Ancient Divine Phoenix was far beyond what the two of them could contend with.

Su Xin gritted her teeth, having made up her mind.

A sudden burst of white light erupted from her body, her entire being transformed into a Gentle Heart Sword.

"Sister, take Zhu Lin and go, make sure to relay what happened today to my... mother!"

"Sister!"

"Go now!"

Su Xin shouted towards Wei Wan, charging decisively towards the black Divine Phoenix with her body as a sword!

Crash!

Suddenly, the dungeon above collapsed, countless boulders falling, burying the black Phoenix below.

Su Xin was stunned, but saw a burly figure flying down from above:

"Junior Sister Su, don’t be afraid, I’m here to play the hero!"

"Senior Brother Ming?"

Su Xin exclaimed in surprise, "Weren’t you asleep?"

Ming Hu carried a massive Thunderclap Sword on his shoulder, laughing heartily, "Junior Sister Su, you only used a small amount of Enchanting Powder, how could it knock me out? You really can’t bear to be too harsh on me, haha!"

At this moment, the entire dungeon began to shake violently, Wei Wan said:

"It’s going to collapse here, let’s move!"

Wei Wan and Su Xin supported the injured Zhu Lin, with Ming Hu leading the way using the huge sword to carve a path, the three of them managed to bore out a route dozens of zhang from underground.

"We’re out!"

The four of them flew out from underground, finding themselves in a large room, which seemed to be Li Qinghe’s chamber.

Su Xin’s heart stirred, she said to Ming Hu and Wei Wan, "Senior Brother Ming, sister, you go first, I’ll go inside and take a look."

Li Qinghe was merely a Patriarch, yet she could transform into a black Divine Phoenix, this was too strange.

Her chamber must contain more secrets.

No sooner had she spoken than the enormous black hole below once again surged with a terrifying ancient aura.

"None of you can escape."

The next instant, the ground exploded with a rumble, and a Phoenix entirely engulfed in black flames soared upward, its wings flapping as it looked down at the four of them.

As if a deity were contemning mortals.

Wei Wan pulled out several Thousand-Mile Talismans from her bosom, about to use them, only to realize they were completely inert due to the Black Phoenix’s aura binding the surroundings, her heart filled with dread.

Was this Ancient Divine Phoenix really this terrifying?!

Ming Hu laughed heartily, "Just a big bird, watch me roast you and eat you!"

He laughed wildly while sending a message to Su Xin, "Junior Sister Su, I’ll break the binding, escape when you can!"

"Senior Brother Ming?"

Su Xin was taken aback, yet she saw Spiritual Power surge from Ming Hu, his whole body wrapped in lightning, wielding the enormous Thunderclap Sword, charging unflinchingly at the black Divine Phoenix!

"Overestimating yourself."

The Black Phoenix snorted coldly, its wings unfolding, black light erupting, pouncing towards Ming Hu.

Crash!

Heaven and earth seemed to tremble for a moment, a cloud of blood exploded in the air.

Ming Hu was sent flying back, Su Xin rushed to catch him, seeing Ming Hu’s whole body oozing blood.

"Senior Brother Ming!"

Ming Hu spat out blood, grinning, "I did it."

Suddenly, the sound of shattering resounded, pieces of black fragments fell down, the space confined by the Black Phoenix finally returned to normal Spiritual Energy flow.

Wei Wan immediately used the Thousand-Mile Talisman, and the four of them turned into a swift stream of light, instantly flying out of the Li Mansion.

The black Divine Phoenix transformed into human form, slowly landing on the ground.

Li Qinghe, with an indifferent expression, looked around at the shocked maids and servants, raised her hand, and all who had seen the Black Phoenix were set on fire, turning to ash amidst screams.

Li Qinghe remained expressionless, turned towards the direction the four had escaped, and all the black flames around her body disappeared instantly, as if nothing had ever happened.

"You can’t escape."
