Furious Xiaoqing!
“Dahu!” cried Yun’er, upon seeing Dahu trembling.
Before Yun’er could release her divine energy, the purple and gold longsword vibrated and released Sword Aura. The earthquake foiled her attempt. The celestial peng called its seal over to intercept the attack. Delighted, the celestial peng swung a phantasmal claw down to grab Dubhe Divine Sword, but the sword shook it off with intense vibrations. It didn’t deal any damage.
Yang Tian snickered. He expanded Dubhe Divine Sword’s size and revealed its thirst for the celestial peng’s divine blood.
The celestial peng laughed and fired golden lightning. Dubhe Divine Sword charged straight into the field of lightning and refined itself using the lightning. Yang Tian powered up again, then charged over to slash at the celestial peng’s head using Black Devil. To counter, the celestial peng opened its wings, exciting Yang Tian and triggering his Invincible Will. Yang Tian was confident he could overwhelm his opponent who was meant to be stronger than him.
Yang Tian coughed blood perpetually. The celestial peng was annoyed since he didn’t have time to waste on Yang Tian. He fired another seal at Yang Tian. Yang Tian unleashed nine layers of stars from Dubhe Divine Sword, but the seal blasted through. Yang Tian then released Chaos Light and enveloped the light in front.
The celestial peng tried to erase the Chaos Light using energy breakers. Seeing as his Chaos Light didn’t quite make the cut, he called on his Dao Physiques and gathered qi and blood to his hand. The celestial peng reversed directions, then soared toward Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing was enraged to see the celestial peng, while the celestial peng was furious to see Xiaoqing had evolved. The celestial peng fired a golden beam at Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing fearlessly fired a black seal back. Xiaoqing recognised the celestial peng who sneak attacked him when he was younger.
Xiaoqing expanded his black seal. Yun’er hurled an emerald seal up. Dahu sprayed a bloody mist. The celestial peng snorted and released light. Xiaoqing attacked the golden light with his wings. Yang Tian broke free from the golden prison using Chaos Light and panted heavily. After gathering vital essence, Yang Tian lunged into the energy breakers.
As Xiaoqing’s wings were bleeding, once Yang was inside, he threw Xiaoqing out, then fired seven streams of stars boosted with Sword Aura and Chaos Light at the celestial peng. The celestial peng swung at the stream.
“Let’s go!” cried Yang Tian, fearing the white tiger king would intervene.
Yun’er swiped open a passage way with runes. Dahu leapt in first. The celestial peng charged out from the seven star streams without a scratch and brayed, “None of you are getting away!”
Yang Tian lunged over to Dahu and threw him into the formation by his leg.
The celestial peng thundered when he saw the formation. He spread his wings to destroy the landscape and runes. “Open!”
Everything flew, and lights flashed. The celestial peng widened his eyes when he saw the formation platform after the dust settled. He was irritated he didn’t know human cultivators still knew how to use formation platforms. Consequently, he blasted a mountain down.
Though the white tiger king didn’t intervene until the end, he was curious who the group was upon noticing the ancient style of producing the platform. The celestial peng shot the tiger a wrathful glare and snorted before flying off. The tiger shook his head and vanished, demonstrating his cultivation prowess.
Yang Tian’s group emerged at a lush forest five hundred metres away from their starting point. The windy forest fell silent. Beasts quivered, and leaves rustled despite Xiaoqing being in bad shape. Dahu suffered severe burns and was bleeding.
Yun’er surveyed their surroundings. Voice quiet, she asked, “Where are we, Brother Yang Tian?”
Yang Tian shrugged and skimmed the vicinity. “Let’s find somewhere to treat our wounds first. I doubt it’s the last time we’ll be seeing the celestial peng.”
Xiaoqing flapped his wings, trying to convey something.
