Behind those numerous grade 7 firebirds, around that red fire golden phoenix, the flame glow exploded as it destroyed those spiritual marks of the barrier. It then smashed forwards, breaking into pieces before swiftly charging forwards relentlessly.
Zong Shou’s heart sunk slightly. Luckily, at this moment, his lightning winged flood dragon had recovered some strength. Once again it rode lightning to flee forwards.
In just a hundred breaths he heard numerous thunderous cries which seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Out of those grade 7 flying birds, many were slowly chasing up. Hanxi led the few flying ants to turn around and slay them. 4 sharp long knives drew out many beautiful knife images.
It was if they weren’t affected by the fire phoenix pressure when they engaged with those grade 7 flying birds. Every few breaths, there would be a grade 7 firebird which was slain by those knife arms.
It also caused that red fire golden Pheonix to crazily cry out once more. The sharp sound ripples nearly caused their eardrums to break, directly striking at the depths of the soul.
Zong Shou’s consciousness was giddy and almost lost. He subconsciously grabbed onto the horns of the lightning winged flood dragon which wasn’t fully formed such that he wasn’t tossed off.
He waited until hundreds of breaths later before he slightly recovered, There were no signs of the red fire golden phoenix behind him. It probably either left in his wake or it was stopped by the common people path spiritual formation.
A distance was also opened between him and the flame wave behind him.
As for those few flying ants, apart from Hanxi, they all seemed exhausted—their bodies shook like they were about to collapse to the ground.
Zong Shou decided to wave his sleeves to keep them back into his spiritual beast bag.
His soul could clearly feel the deep exhaustion of the lightning winged flood dragon.
If it was a normal flight, lasting for 3 days and 3 nights wouldn’t be problematic. But just now, it used up its life essence energy. Even if the lightning winged flood dragon had a thick true dragon bloodline, it would be unable to support it.
Giving a consoling few pats on its head, Zong Shou sent an intent over to express that soon it would be able to stop and rest.
Following which a person suddenly jumped out in his field of sight. Her mouth wide opened as she stood stunned looking at the red bird wave in front of her. Her heroic face was filled with despair.
“Its Xuanye…”
Zong Shou was startled. What was this woman doing here? He didn’t think at all as he tossed his fire yin sword over.
“What are you doing, you still aren’t climbing up?”
That fire yin sword was activated by his soul power and its speed was much faster than the lightning winged flood dragon. In just a blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Xuanye.
The latter instantly came back to her senses and grabbed onto the sword handle, allowing the fire yin sword to bring her body forwards.
it wasn’t until the sword light turned and brought her onto the back of the lightning winged flood dragon that she relaxed. Then, she looked behind her.
“Junior brother what is going on? Why are there so many grade 7 flying birds? I didn’t remember that there were beast waves in the spirit river?”
Without the fire phoenix’s mental suppression, Zong Shou had calmed down. He only needed to use one hand to grab the dragon horn to stabilize himself. He wasn’t scared of falling off anymore.
When he heard that, he smiled, and took out a token. He waved it at Xuanye.
“I am not your junior brother, I am you great great great great senior master!”
Xuanye’s gaze constricted as she looked over carefully, it really wrote the words common people path 3rd generation core disciple Tanqiu.
She felt a chill in her body. This person was really the Tanqiu that Chenrou mentioned! He was really the 3rd generation core disciple.
Looking at his smiling face, she couldn’t help but diss in her heart. The sect’s seniority rankings were really chaotic, most of them were 8th generation disciples like her, there were 6th generation and 7th generation ones, even 5th generation ones.
However people of the same sect when of similar ages called one another senior brother and sister during unofficial occasions.
Who would be like this fellow to brag about his identity as a 3rd generation disciple?
However, she had to be respectful, helplessly bowing deeply towards Zong Shou, saying, “Greetings great great great great senior master!”
Luckily she was really strong, her martial path was in the 7th grade. Standing on this lightning winged flood dragon like her legs had roots, not moving and not shaking. She wasn’t afraid of falling and was able to properly bow.
Following which the corner of her eyes saw that silver-colored, beautiful elf-like living being slay a grade 7 firebird which got close. Then, its 6 pairs of transparent wings flapped and it was right next to Zong Shou. Her pupils constricted once more.
…What a quick knife, what quick movement speed!
Then, she realized something, and her face turned ashen white.
…This person, as a grade 6 spirit master, already owned 2 grade 7 protector beasts!
This lightning winged flood dragon was obviously not far from evolving into a proper dragon, who knows it might be able to achieve it when it reaches grade 8.
As for this unknown human-shaped beast—although she didn’t know where it came from—it sharply killed people of the same grade with twice the movement speed of the lightning winged flood dragon. It would probably be able to go up against grade 8 beasts!
She didn’t know how he was able to get so much soul power to be able to maintain the spirit contracts of these 2 grade 7 beasts at the same time?
However, with such strength, he did indeed have the right to become the common people path 3rd generation core disciple and move into that 1st Courtyard A.
Within her heart, she felt more and more curious. This person had only told her his identity but didn’t answer her question.
Zong Shou didn’t intend to hide anything, casually taking out a phoenix egg from within the heaven and earth bag and tossed it in his hand. He sighed, “Nothing much, I just stole a few phoenix eggs and that red fire golden phoenix seemed like it went totally crazy…”
When that phoenix egg appeared, a loud cry spread out from far away. It was too far away so although there wasn’t much power but it was filled with endless amounts of hatred.
As for that red-colored flame wave, there seemed to be some power rushing it as its speed increased by several bits.
Zong Shou was helpless and didn’t want to take his undeserved gains for granted. If he knew it would be so dangerous he would have rather not went.
“Red fire golden phoenix?”
Xuanye’s heart jumped as she looked forwards carefully. She could feel that the aura from within was no weaker than a grade 6.
…Grade 6 phoenix egg, the purity of its bloodline was not far from that of a true god beast fire phoenix.
When he heard the cry of the phoenix, he knew its strength was at least above the saint realm!
She was speechless. No wonder so many grade 7 firebirds would appear. The phoenix was the king of the birds and had the ability to order other flying birds.
Speaking of which, not long later this Tanqiu would have another strong protector beast in his hands.
Although she didn’t know how skilled he was with spells, with these few protector beasts, he would be invincible within the sect.
A look of envy flashed in her eyes, her expression turned solemn once more, “I won’t tell anyone about this! If I go against it let the heavens kill me…”
Zong Shou was delighted when he heard that, was this Xuanye really a disciple of Taiyuan Sect. The junior nephew of Shui Lingbo?
It seems like she was more similar to a Haoxuan Sect person.
He didn’t bother about hiding the matter, a few phoenix eggs weren’t much. Apart from 2 which the people around him needed to use.
As for the rest, he would either sell it or trade it. He wouldn’t be able to hide from people with intentions so why not he be honest from the start.
Within this common people path vast habitat, it would be good if he didn’t use his power to suppress others, who would dare to offend him?
The lightning winged flood dragon became slower and slower. It was obvious that it didn’t have enough strength.
Zong Shou patted its head and ordered it to stop, turning around to face the crazily swarming red wave.
Even without the lightning flood dragon, he could still drive the sword to travel. The bird wave would at most chase up within 70 breaths.
Taking in a deep breath, Xuanye bore with the thought of just fleeing alone and stayed. Zong Yuan knew that his ruler had other plans. He didn’t speak a word as he stood right next to Zong Shou.
Zong Shou was expressionless as he waited quietly. When the closest grade 7 flying bird was 50 breaths away, he slapped out 3 golden-colored talismans.
At the start Xuanye didn’t care much, thinking that the few golden talismans were at most just around grade 7 could it really stop his vast grade 7 bird wave?
She already had the thought to travel on air and bring this 2 to flee.
Luckily, the Tanqiu seemed to have come to his senses. After he slapped out the golden talisman, he retreated frantically. Like he was afraid of being chased up as he opened up several body-protecting talismans, buffing on the bodies of numerous people. Occasionally he would turn around and take a look. Only to see the talismans floating. A moment later it was 30 breaths away and was just 100 feet away from the bird wave.
The spiritual runes on the golden talisman started to shine.
At this moment Xuanye took in a deep cold breath, “Is that the energy destroying spirit upheaval talisman?”
Suddenly she understood what Zong Shou was planning. If this grade 7 energy destroying spirit upheaval talismans were used elsewhere, at most, it would be able to stop other spirit masters from using heaven and earth spiritual energy to cast spells.
But within this bird wave, it was a killing weapon!
Along with those 3 golden talismans burning the nearby region’s spiritual energy started to get chaotic.
It became total chaos. That thick spiritual energy, which had gathered so densely that it nearly reached physical form crazily tore apart and exploded. In a blink of an eye that vast bird wave was drowned within.
Following which the surrounding space barrier started to shake. Numerous black lines shone within this spirit river.
Even Zong Shou and their group which was extremely far away were affected. The wind and the spirit explosion were still okay when it reached their side it was already really weak.
Only that space fissures which flashed open was something that even the strongest body-protecting spells couldn’t block.
Luckily Zong Shou was prepared and in the last life, he had faced these space fissures. He pulled the people around to change positions. Although his body had many injuries, there weren’t any broken hands or legs.
When the space fissures totally disappeared and the spiritual explosion calmed down, the 3 of them were in an extremely bad state.
