Fighting the Celestial Peng
The celestial peng powered up and broke the formation with his seal, revealing Yun’er. Her jade slip informed her Yang Tian was still some distance away.
The celestial peng: “She’s yours. Don’t kill her.”
“Haha, thank you, Master.” The bird encroached on Yun’er whilst drooling.
Yun’er called on her nine leaves flower for energy.

Yang Tian squinted and patted Xiaoqing on the forehead upon sensing something ominous. Xiaoqing stopped and tried to catch his breath. “What’s the matter?”
“I have a bad feeling. I’m activating a formation.”
The two jumped through Yang Tian’s dimensional door to speedily reach their destination.
The bird in the stone palace assumed a human form shrouded in black smog. When he reached for Yun’er’s clothes with his red claws, she explosively leapt back and tried to transform, but her qihai was empty. He tore her sleeve and licked his lips with a lecherous grin. He twerked his hips to tease her and grabbed her. “You’re mine now…”
Yun’er planned to buy time using her divine body, but she was relieved of worry the next second. Mistaking she had given up resistance, the bird reached for her chest.
“Your death wish is granted!” roared Yang Tian, shaking the palace and disturbing the celestial peng from his meditation.
Though startled for a brief moment, the bird regained his condescending tone once he recalled the celestial peng was with him. “How dare you interrupt me!”
Yang Tian fired his energy sources on all cylinders. The celestial peng took off toward Yang Tian. Yang Tian summoned Black Devil and swung down at the celestial peng. The celestial peng snickered and transformed his hand into celestial peng claws. Yang Tian used Sword Vibration, but the celestial Peng was prepared for it the moment Yang Tian arrived. “That won’t work on me!”
The celestial peng was right. He was fine; however, the bird felt tremors throughout his body. Meanwhile, Black Devil clashed with the celestial peng’s claw. Yang Tian utilised his new bones’ strength to not only survive the clash but also grant him more power. He took a double grip hold of Black Devil and smacked the celestial peng into a stone wall. Next, he howled as he powered up to push against the celestial peng’s claws, shoving the latter into the wall.
The bird was scared and infuriated. He trembled when he saw the ostensibly invincible celestial peng thrown around. Knowing Yun’er was important, he reached for her head.
Yang Tian summoned a young celestial peng from his back, scaring the bird silly. The bird had always served the celestial peng race; naturally, he fled for dear life.
Xiaoqing parked next to Yun’er. Though he wanted to squash the bird, he said, “Sister Yun’er, climb on.”
Yun’er leapt up onto Xiaoqing’s back. Xiaoqing handed her the divine water they prepared on the way over to restore her energy.
The celestial peng unleashed a deafening boom as he mustered up more power and attacked using his claws. After Yang Tian intercepted using Black Devil, the celestial peng took to the ether.
