Chapter 43

In the depths of the main hall.

Amidst the pitch-black ghost mist.

Lu Li's cold voice echoed continuously.

In the void, the giant palm print of the Phantom Cloud Hand also fell.

"Hmph!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon snorted angrily.

Shock is shock!

But this martial skill unleashed by a mere Martial Spirit-level human, with its Martial Monarch status, could be easily broken with physical strength alone; it wasn't his turn to be arrogant in front of it.

On its right fist, physical strength constantly gathered.

Spiritual light flashed!

The moment it reached the limit, it fell with a punch.

The Phantom Cloud Hand shattered!

But amidst the pitch-black ghost mist, another shocking sword beam appeared, killing without restraint, slashing toward the purple-gold fierce falcon again.

"Boom!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon attacked again.

In the depths of this main hall.

The terrifying aftermath spread, and except for that Wutong Holy Tree, everything around it turned into powder.

But, Lu Li didn't stop.

After the sword beam, the dozen or so martial skills he had completely mastered were unleashed one after another, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

The purple-gold fierce falcon was annoyed.

With its means, if it were in ordinary times, it could defeat Lu Li in one move, but under the shackles of this pitch-black ghost mist, it couldn't keep up with Lu Li's attack speed for a time and could only be forced to defend.

Although such attack means couldn't break its physical body for the time being, it was also very annoying.

"Kid, that's enough!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon roared.

Within its body, physical strength erupted again.

Just as it was about to unleash a terrifying blow, suddenly, an aura of deathly silence emerged around it.

In front of Lu Li, a point of starlight appeared.

Eight meridians flashed with spiritual light!

In that blooming spiritual light, all power surged and gathered.

And as all the power gathered within it, a more terrifying aura permeated from that point of starlight.

Destructive killing!

As if everything around it ceased to exist!

"What!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon's expression changed greatly.

This blow had already exceeded ordinary Martial Spirit powerhouses and was enough to threaten a Martial Monarch; with its current situation, it was actually difficult to withstand for a time.

It dared not hold back.

The origin within its body moved rapidly.

Then, it turned into a pitch-black spiritual light, as if transcending the world's limit, and collided with that point of golden light.

Supernatural ability: Instant Kill!

Capable of turning into spiritual light, transcending extreme speed, and killing strong enemies in an instant!

This is one of the strongest innate supernatural abilities of billions of fierce birds.

Any fierce bird that breaks through to the Martial Spirit realm has a chance to awaken it; unleashed in the hands of the purple-gold fierce falcon at this moment, it was more than ten times stronger.

"Bang!"

The golden light was broken!

But the black light turned into by the purple-gold fierce falcon still retained most of its power.

However, it didn't pursue.

The pitch-black spiritual light flashed and recovered.

"Kid, I'll let you go for now today; when we leave this place, we'll fight again."

Having said that.

It rushed toward the Wutong Holy Tree rapidly.

Lu Li didn't stop it, just a faint cold sneer on the corners of his mouth.

"You have no chance anymore."

"What!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon stopped the giant hand reaching for the Wutong Holy Tree.

It sensed slightly, only then discovering that there were countless strands of death Qi in its body, constantly eroding its vitality.

"How is this possible?"

The purple-gold fierce falcon's expression became extremely ugly.

To block the death Qi around it, it was extremely careful, and even after unleashing the Instant Kill supernatural ability, it had abandoned the must-kill blow to Lu Li; how could it still be eroded by death Qi?

In its mind!

The scene of the battle with Lu Li just now flashed past!

It remembered the series of attacks Lu Li had made that constantly increased in speed!

To deal with it!

It had also inadvertently increased its speed.

Could it be...

"Aura entanglement, difficult to separate; you did indeed use your origin inadvertently just now, but the erosion of death Qi is far from just that!" Lu Li shook his head lightly.

"There's more?"

The purple-gold fierce falcon sensed carefully.

Suddenly, its face turned pale.

The pitch-black ghost mist around here was actually ten times thicker than before it entered.

"You, you can actually manipulate this pitch-black ghost mist!"

"Just simple utilization."

Lu Li beckoned.

A pitch-black gourd appeared in his hand.

"During the battle just now, I borrowed its power to quietly increase the concentration of the pitch-black ghost mist around; the concentration of the pitch-black ghost mist here has already exceeded your defense limit; whether you take action or not, they will invade your body at all times, and the battle only accelerated this process."

"It turned out to be like this!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon was lost in soul.

But in the end, it was a Martial Monarch powerhouse; after a moment of loss, it became fierce again.

"Kid, anyway, I'm going to die, so you might as well go with me!"

It didn't hold back anymore.

Letting the ghost Qi around swallow it, it unleashed its origin to the limit.

Rumble!

Heaven and earth shook.

As if even this endless pitch-black ghost mist was about to be stirred.

But, Lu Li remained unmoved.

"I said, you have no chance anymore."

In his hand.

That pitch-black gourd turned.

Another sky-shattering pitch-black ghost mist surged out, and before the purple-gold fierce falcon's strongest blow could be unleashed, it rolled and swallowed its entire body.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

After a series of intense struggles.

Everything returned to peace.

Lu Li just took a look and arrived before the Wutong Holy Tree in one step.

On his fingertip!

A point of pitch-black flame appeared.

Heat surged!

Just as it was about to burn toward the Wutong Holy Tree, suddenly, a faint and timid voice sounded.

"Don't!"

"Hmm?"

Lu Li was somewhat surprised.

After the purple-gold fierce falcon, there were still fierce beasts guarding this Wutong Holy Tree?

Just as he was confused, a small bird with five-colored wings flew out; the bird was only the size of a fist, its aura restrained, hiding in the Wutong Holy Tree, making it impossible for anyone to detect for a time.

"Five-Colored Sparrow!"

Lu Li exclaimed.

Recognizing the origin of this little bird.

According to records, a hundred years ago when the spiritual power of heaven and earth just recovered, a Divine Phoenix was reborn from fire and left; that was the only holy beast that appeared in this world, and legend has it that the Divine Phoenix left behind nine children.

This Five-Colored Sparrow is one of them!

Born with holy beast bloodline!

Although this is just a legend, it is enough to show the power of the Five-Colored Sparrow.

However, the reason he came here was to destroy this Wutong Holy Tree; no matter how great the Five-Colored Sparrow's background was, it couldn't stop him!

"Take action!"

"No, no, I'm not your opponent."

The Five-Colored Sparrow hurriedly responded with its childish voice.

It hid in the Wutong Holy Tree and witnessed everything just now; a human who could easily kill a Martial Monarch-level fierce beast made it feel very afraid, and if it weren't for not being able to watch the Wutong Holy Tree be destroyed, it wouldn't even have appeared.

"Then get out of the way."

Lu Li stopped talking nonsense.

He pointed his finger.

That pitch-black flame burned toward the Wutong Holy Tree.

But at this moment, the Five-Colored Sparrow stepped forward and blocked in front of the Wutong Holy Tree, letting that pitch-black little fire burn itself.

"Human, listen to me, the Wutong Holy Tree has the use of helping people comprehend the Dao, rare in a hundred years; you must not destroy it. If you need it, I can help you take it away."
