Under this attack, Chayue Sword actually pressed down slightly. Zhao Ning's brows tightened slightly. At the moment of pressing back, both hands turned aside, turning from strong attack to scattered attack, and from breaking sword to breaking sword.
I saw that the opponent's offensive seemed to freeze for a moment when it was out of reach, and the air waves shook out a large area. Zhao Ning took advantage of this moment to suddenly pull away. When it swooped down again with another chirp, the Moon Sword was blown away, deep inside. Pierced deeply into the ground, the formation on the nearby tomb also trembled, and its defensive power was in danger.
Going down further, facing Zhao Ning directly, but not wanting to touch Zhao Ning. For a moment, her body shape has turned from real to virtual, it penetrates the virtual shadow, and the broken shadows are scattered.
It chirped violently, not noticing the direction of Zhao Ning for the first time, so it shuttled back and forth over the remaining broken shadows to vent its anger.
High in the air, Zhao Ning held her breath steady and looked down at the opponent.
Looking from top to bottom, the physical appearance of this black bird is clearly visible. It is not a crow. The initial restrained appearance has been restored. It has a feather crest on its head, a body covered with feathers, and a long and gorgeous tail, especially the three feathers. .
It is the legendary phoenix bird, but it does not have the auspicious color of the phoenix bird. It is a phoenix.
In a moment, the phoenix had seized Zhao Ning's position and attacked Zhao Ning again.
Zhao Ning turned his hand, pinched the word "formation" in front of him with one hand, and moved his hand downwards. Clear light shone in the palm of his hand. The Chayue Sword that hit the ground trembled, and then suddenly flew out and returned to Zhao Ning's hand.
As the phoenix approached, the fire aura in the aura of heaven and earth was wrapped up and condensed into an entity, forming numerous innate spiritual fire balls in front of it.
Under the control of the spell, the Chamoon Sword divided into thirteen pieces and rotated in a "formation" to block the incoming innate spiritual fireball, while also wrapping the condensation in the "formation".
The two sides were confronting each other, and Zhao Ning spoke up again, "Senior, I know that you are an ancient divine bird who can understand people and their language, but I don't know what happened that angered you so much that you didn't even want to communicate with this junior. And then attack with a killing move." When he first entered, Zhao Ning said that trespassing was offensive and could be negotiated on terms, but to this extent, and still used such a deadly attack, the root of the problem was not trespassing. itself.
"You have the aura of Heavenly Palace in you!"
Its voice seemed to be wrapped in fire, very hoarse.
As it spoke, its wings suddenly closed together, and the innate spiritual fireballs in front suddenly merged into one, impacting the "formation" in an instant.
The next moment the "formation" broke, Zhao Ning was knocked out and flew dozens of feet away. Seeing her collision with a tomb, the light in her palms gathered and hit the ground. She turned over and landed on her feet, but she did not retreat. Before he could stabilize himself, he raised his hand again, and the Moon Moon Sword returned, inserted into the ground, and abruptly set off bursts of brilliance. It didn't stop until it touched the tombstone.
And the phoenix approached again, continuing to say, "There is also the hatred of the Golden Crow!!!"
Zhao Ning was startled, and when he heard it say "You deserve to die", he used countless feather-like mana crystals from his body to attack Zhao Ning with overwhelming force.
For a moment, huge waves of smoke and dust were set off, but it did not stop because of this, and the mana crystals continued to pierce into the huge waves.
"Everyone in the Heavenly Palace must die, and everyone who restrains the divine birds like us must die!!!"
After a few breaths, the huge wave of smoke and dust seemed to have subsided a little, but a vague clear light appeared in the center of the huge wave. The clear light turned into a mask. Under the constant impact of the mana crystals, the mask kept rising and falling like the beating of a heart.
Until a certain moment, even the phoenix felt that something was not good. Sure enough, just a moment later, the clear light exploded suddenly, and a stream of light rushed out, enveloping the thunder light of heaven's punishment, but saw the Thunder Soul Wood move.
Taiwuwudao, the fourth line, the forbidden area.
The man has been forced in front of him, but the phoenix cannot move. The thunder and light are woven into a rope, and the power of merit is intertwined with it, intertwined with the phoenix, and it is tightly bound.
The fourth line can only block the ancient divine bird like the Phoenix for a breath of time. It became angry for a moment and chirped. The black covering the entire night seemed to be converging on it, and the entangled chains were following its breath of gathering Dafa. , and stretches and contracts, and so on.
Zhao Ning was extremely alert. It was not suitable to stay here any longer. If he stepped on it, he would leave through the air.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the changes in the power of heaven and earth had stopped.
Listening to the rear, the Phoenix repeated in confusion and annoyance, "The power of merit, why do you people in the Heavenly Palace have the power of merit? It turns out that the legendary power of merit really exists..."
"Come back! Come back!!!"
Zhao Ning's half-stepped foot suddenly stood in the air, and she felt a little confused, but she didn't let down her guard at all.
However, it seems like we can have a few good conversations now.
Zhao Ning did not go back. She stood at the torn void and looked back, as if she was ready to escape at any time.
"Senior, do you have anything to say to this junior?"
The phoenix didn't even care about the chains wrapped around his body. He rubbed the ground and stood up, jumping a little uncomfortably closer. A pair of bird's eyes looked at Zhao Ning inch by inch.
Then he asked, "Are you from Tiangong?"
Zhao Ning said, "I know Tiangong and am familiar with several of Tiangong's venerables, but that doesn't mean I am from Tiangong."
The Phoenix seemed quite satisfied with this answer, but it did not soften, "Why do you have the hatred of that guy from the Golden Crow?"
Zhao Ning said frankly, "I deceived Senior Jinwu."
The Phoenix's eyes widened, and before it went berserk again, Zhao Ning said, "I found the snake dancer, but I didn't take the snake dancer back to rescue it."
"You!" The Phoenix roared again.
And almost half of Zhao Ning's body entered the rift in the void. The Phoenix took a deep breath and said, "Stop!"
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
The Phoenix stared at Zhao Ning, "Do you know what it means to break the promise of the ancient divine bird?"
"I know, it's just a punishment from heaven."
"Okay, okay." Phoenix stared at Zhao Ning, and once again looked at her carefully as if to drag out her Nascent Soul, "Only people with meritorious deeds dare to say such things."
Zhao Ning looked back at it calmly, "Senior called me many times, but even though he knew that I was indeed imprinted with Jinwu's hatred, he didn't do anything again. It seems that senior also values this merit."
Phoenix shook his body and said, "Untie the restraints on my body. It's uncomfortable to talk like this."
Zhao Ning didn't move.
The phoenix endured it and turned into a human being. It was a dark-skinned young man sitting on the ground, "I don't need this merit, and I don't care about this merit, but I don't want to be bound to Kyushu, every tens of thousands of years." Just one nirvana and rebirth, and I’ve had enough.”
"When the Golden Crow found you, you must have not yet achieved the golden elixir of innate merit, let alone used the merit for yourself."
Before the Nascent Soul, the power of merit was just a few strands of golden light intertwined with the clear light of mana. It might be passive protection, but it was indeed not truly controlled. Until the Nascent Soul, the cord of merit was formed naturally.
"That guy has been acting as the sun in the Heavenly Palace for many thousands of years. Even the soul of the Heavenly Palace has changed several times. He only remembers that the snake dancer is the one who is implicated in his fate, but he forgets that what will happen even if he breaks free from the shackles. In this way, it is not trapped in the tiny land of Kyushu. Wherever it flies, it is still regarded as the sun, and the fire on it will never go out."
Zhao Ning was silent, and her emotions were not involved much. Maybe she wanted to sympathize with Jinwu, but in Kyushu, the only people she could sympathize with were countless small creatures.
But break the Jiuzhou Demon-Sealing Formation and return to the Nine Heavens of Yu Yu?
"Senior is joking, I don't even know the way to Jiuzhou, let alone break the Jiuzhou Demon Sealing Formation?"
Phoenix smiled, "Little girl, your Grandpa Phoenix has experienced nirvana many times, and has seen countless times more human beings than you have walked. I can tell what you are thinking at a glance. .”
"Seeing that you are quite candid, I have told you a lot. Otherwise, I only have to wait until you are in the realm of Yuanshen and come to meet you at the Golden Bridge on the other side of Yu Yu's ninth level of heaven. I will be the first to step on the Golden Bridge before you cut it off. Jinqiao, I will go to Yuyu Jiuzhongtian, and you will be bound to Jiuzhou forever."
Zhao Ning's breath was stagnant for a moment, her heart was in turmoil, and she tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions and keep her expression stable.
She knew that even though the Phoenix said it in such an understatement, it would definitely not be that simple. She understood that now that the Phoenix had revealed it, it could be considered to be an eighty percent sincerity.
"Yes." Zhao Ning said, "I probably know a possible way to get to Jiuzhou, but I can't guarantee it."
The phoenix grinned, not caring at all about the vague complements.
It said, "You are just worried about what will happen to the sun in the sky after the Golden Crow is gone. Oh, why worry? Yu Yu was born in the Nine Heavens in the chaos. At the time of chaos, heaven and earth treasures, holy objects, psychic holy objects, gods Things abound, and a cluster of Great Yang Fire Essence can light up a land."
"Besides, when the Nine Provinces Demon Sealing Formation is unsealed and the real sun returns, there will be no need for any substitute."
Zhao Ning was silent for a moment. It would be a lie to say it was not shocking, and it would be a lie to say it was not distant.
But she half agreed, "But I need someone to help me find my way to Jiuzhou. She comes from Jiuzhou, a land outside Central Continent. Although she told me about the possibility of going to Jiuzhou, she still hid some clues and I must take her with me if necessary. She is now suffering from backlash poison, and she needs Feifeng Lingyan to burn out the poison. I wonder if Senior is willing to help with this."
The Phoenix's smile never stopped, "It's a small thing."
But just when he was about to make a move, he realized that he was still restrained. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Ning, then nodded to indicate the cord of merit on his body.
Zhao Ning raised her hand, the clear light passed by, and the restraining chains spread out.
Before the chains were completely dissipated, the phoenix suddenly jumped upwards and suddenly approached Zhao Ning. He clenched a fist with one hand and could faintly feel the wind from the fist.
But less than three feet away from Zhao Ning, the loose chains tightened again, blocking the Phoenix in mid-air. The only difference was that one of his hands was still exposed.
The Phoenix didn't care at all, and even had a smile on his face. His fist turned into a finger, and he teased and nodded in the air, "Little guy, not bad, not bad, the reaction is very fast."
Zhao Ning looked at him expressionlessly.
The phoenix then restrained himself, and reached out to grab the void beside him. When he turned his hand, there was a flame. The flame looked like a fire phoenix, but it was not as gorgeous as the phoenix.
It just tossed it casually and was controlled by Zhao Ning. He only heard it say, "This is the spirit breath of Feifeng Lingyan that was born when your grandpa Phoenix entered Nirvana. Whenever he reaches Nirvana, it is everywhere in the mountains, and that's right now." Grandpa is gone after he wakes up from Nirvana. Take it, you don’t have to give it back."
Zhao Ning didn't want to argue with it any more, so she naturally used the jade bottle to store the fire.
Just as he was about to leave, Phoenix called again, "Hey, you little guy, you are leaving, why did you forget to untie me?"
Zhao Ning did not answer directly, but asked, "Don't you always go out?"
But the phoenix snorted, "Get out, why do you want to go out? The Golden Crow is a divine bird of the fire system, and I, the Phoenix, is also a divine bird of the fire system. When it burns up, will you tie me up to the heavenly palace to be the sun? Tsk, you want to Not every time there is great destruction and nirvana, the cultivation level is suppressed in Yuanying, I am afraid of their heavenly palace."
The implication is that now I am actually afraid of the Heavenly Palace.
Zhao Ning said "Oh".
"You little guy, oh what, eh, eh, why are you leaving? You haven't untied it yet!"
It wasn't until Zhao Ning's body passed through the crack in the void, and at the last moment when the crack was restored, that the chains that bound the Phoenix were completely loosened.
*
Zhao Ning passed through the Fengming Mountain Formation Barrier and did not stay in Zhuzhou for long. He stepped straight through the void and entered Yangzhou.
Returning to Qingyue Palace, Zhao Ning did not see Zhiyue and He Jie, only Xiang Hongxuan was practicing in the palace.
It was probably Zhao Ning who came from the broken void and alerted Xiang Hongxuan. Xiang Hongxuan appeared in mid-air in an instant, separated by a distance of nearly ten feet.
Zhao Ning raised his eyes and glanced, but Xiang Hongxuan remained silent. Just like when he followed Qingyue Palace Lingzhou before, he would sometimes have a few glances fall on Zhao Ning, but he did not say anything to Zhao Ning during the whole process. Pass a sentence.
When she was in Wangxian Death City, Zhao Ning noticed some subtle changes in this Hongxuan. Now that she saw it again, it was definitely not an illusion.
The almost tearing battle at the Bianzhou Sword Fighting Conference, and even the pointing fingers on the spectator stand, could be considered insulting, but at this moment, it seemed that it did not leave a shadow in his heart.
I just don’t know if it’s because I still have evil intentions in my heart, or... I suddenly realized it once I asked my heart.
But that was Xiang Hongxuan's matter and had nothing to do with Zhao Ning. She said nothing and landed directly in front of the back hall of Qingyue Palace and walked towards Tinglan's residence.
"She is not in Qingyue Palace."
Xiang Hongxuan's voice came from behind.
Zhao Ning turned around and saw Xiang Hongxuan also falling, still three to four feet away, "Zhiyue and He Jie took her to the Lingquan of Hongyi Mountain. He Jie had learned the news from the Tianyang Immortal Sect before. , in that spiritual spring, before the mid-Yuan period of the Wuxu year, spiritual fluid poured in from the ground, which could alleviate the pain of meridian depression caused by backlash in her body. That place was not of much use for practice, and most of it was used by female cultivators to keep their appearance. And go."
"Then I'll go find them." Zhao Ninggang rose into the air.
Xiang Hongxuan said from behind, "I'm with you." Then he followed without saying anything.
Seeing him falling a few steps away, Zhao Ning frowned inconspicuously, but thinking that she really had something to ask him about, she let him go.
Yukong went to high altitude to isolate himself from others.
Zhao Ning asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiang, do you remember what Xin Sui once blurted out?"
