Chapter 3280: Terrifying Fire Phoenix

Let's hurry over to check the situation first!

Ye Liuyun had already rushed to the point where the Golden Crow Holy Fire inside his body was throbbing. It had already sensed that terrifying fire power, clearly telling Ye Liuyun that this fire power was far stronger than it.

He saw the ice-attribute martial cultivators and soldiers using ice power to resist the fire's heat wave, worried that if they delayed too long, their true essence would be exhausted and they'd be useless in battle.

This time, even if he didn't act, he first needed to scout out the fire phoenix's reality.

Thus everyone sped up and rushed toward the Blazing Flame Mountain Range.

Qiong Qi again took out his broken furnace, his face tense, ready to collect fire.

He knew this was an opportunity Ye Liuyun had given him, so he felt grateful and didn't want to waste it.

But just before they approached the Blazing Flame Mountain Range, two fire-attribute Ninth Layer Summit experts suddenly jumped out.

"Who dares to barge into the Blazing Flame Mountain Range? Don't you know this is the Great Prince's territory?"

Those two martial cultivators' fire attributes were also not weak, their realms quite solid; Ye Liuyun guessed they were the experts Jiang Yuntian had stationed here to guard.

So he didn't waste words, immediately using Time Power, releasing his Soul, rushing into their Seas of Consciousness, implanting Slave Seals on both, and using Soul Search to learn what they knew.

These two martial cultivators were indeed the ones Jiang Yuntian had arranged to guard the fire phoenix's fire spirit, and they had both seen that fire spirit. Seeing the fire spirit's image in their Seas of Consciousness, Ye Liuyun also began to worry, fearing these people might not be a match for that fire spirit.

That fire spirit's main body was already twice the size of the Golden Crow Holy Fire; unless it stood still and let them all attack together, they had no chance of winning.

Seeing him lower his head in thought, his face showing worry, everyone also knew the fire phoenix would be hard to deal with.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and then said to Qiong Qi, "Let's withdraw first, work out a counterplan, then come back; right now these people's strength can't handle that fire spirit."

Qiong Qi didn't insist, feeling they could retreat first, think of a plan, then return.

But just then, a phoenix cry rang out from the mountain range, fire power surged, a mass of fire light shot up into the sky. Afterwards, that mass of fire extended outward, manifesting the image of a fire phoenix.

At the fire phoenix's chest, there was a cluster of even brighter red fire phoenix shape—this was the fire phoenix's source power fire source.

"Ha ha, want to leave? Too late!" The fire phoenix actually spoke human words and burst out laughing.

Then he sized them up: "Golden Crow, Vermilion Bird, Qiong Qi—all are great tonics! None of you can think of leaving; you're all my supplements!

"Just now, who among you used Time Power?"

The fire phoenix's fire spirit was obviously so powerful that it sensed Ye Liuyun's earlier use of Time Power.

"Oh no, this fire phoenix is too strong; Time Power probably won't work on it!" Ye Liuyun silently cursed, feeling there was nothing he could do against such a powerful fire spirit except try to wear it down.

"All ice power, attack with full force! All fire-attribute martial cultivators, absorb fire power with full force!"

Ye Liuyun didn't hesitate either; since it had already detected them, he might as well strike first, immediately sending a mental transmission to everyone.

"Even joining forces is useless!" Seeing them act together, the fire phoenix merely sneered, paid little heed, and spat out a fireball hurling it at them.

The two martial cultivators just controlled by the fire phoenix also immediately joined Ye Liuyun's team, attacking the fire phoenix together.

This time Qiong Qi didn't strike to absorb fire power; instead, he formed a formation from afar, striking the fire phoenix with a formation imbued with ice power, and together with the other martial cultivators, used ice power to diminish the fire phoenix's attacks.

Then he picked up the broken furnace again, absorbing the fireball the fire phoenix had hurled.

All fire-attribute martial cultivators released fire together to block that fireball. Ye Liuyun also released his Golden Crow to absorb the fireball's fire power. The Vermilion Bird likewise manifested its true form, lunging forward to absorb fire power.

This time, when they acted together, they actually managed to block that fireball.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Crow, the Vermilion Bird, and Qiong Qi's furnace all seized the chance to absorb a lot of fire power; the other fire-attribute martial cultivators did the same, absorbing considerable fire power as well.

But those ice-attribute martial cultivators probably couldn't hold out much longer. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could see their true essence, estimating they could still block two more attacks.

"Ha ha ha, this is just a casual strike of mine—try blocking another one! Ha ha ha!"

The fire phoenix seemed to be playing with them; after speaking, it laughed again, then spat out an even larger fireball hurling at them. Everyone this time frowned. This big fireball was twice the size of the previous one.

"Block it with all your strength."

Ye Liuyun gave the order, letting everyone block with all their strength; at the same time, his Golden Pupil flashed, a beam of white light shooting out toward the center of the fire phoenix's fire spirit.

Then came a bolt of lightning, blasting toward the fire spirit.

He felt that no matter what, they couldn't just wait for the fire phoenix to attack; they should counterattack to draw its attention.

The fire spirit, upon being hit by the white light, also let out a mournful cry; evidently the white light also had some effect in melting the fire source. However, it seemed not to have melted much, as the fire spirit appeared unchanged.

Then came a "crack" boom, the lightning strike hit; the fire spirit didn't dodge, being struck into continual mournful cries, obviously these two attacks were also effective against it.

Qiong Qi kept forming formations, striking at the fire phoenix; at the moment the fire spirit was distracted by the attack, a formation also slammed into it, instantly erupting with ice power that sealed the fire spirit—but it was immediately swallowed up by fire power.

With a "boom" explosion, the combined force of Ye Liuyun's side collided with the fireball. Several fire- and ice-attribute martial cultivators were blown away, vomiting blood, but Qiong Qi's furnace this time exerted great power, absorbing most of the fireball's energy.

"Ah! Damn humans, all go die!"

The fire spirit, also enraged by Ye Liuyun's strike, let out a sharp shriek; the fire phoenix's vast body surged forward toward them.

Ye Liuyun also noticed that the surrounding martial cultivators and soldiers, having just resisted the fireball, had nearly exhausted their strength and certainly couldn't block the fire spirit's direct impact.

Faced with the oncoming colossal fire phoenix, some strongmen trembled all over, while the martial cultivators already exhausted from fatigue simply closed their eyes, awaiting death.

Even Qiong Qi was frightened enough to hide inside the broken furnace. The Vermilion Bird wanted to run, but felt its legs go weak, also feeling it couldn't escape the fire phoenix's coverage.

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, gathering everyone into the Space World; there was no need to let them die pointlessly.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also continuously shot out white light. But though the fire phoenix kept crying nonstop, it didn't dodge or evade, still charging at them. He wanted to use Time Power, but the fire phoenix was too strong; his Divine Soul Power wasn't sufficient, so he couldn't activate Time Power at all!
