Chapter 228: Phoenix True Flame

At first, Li Haoran was resistant to Su Shishi. He felt that as a dignified man, how could he eat soft rice? He wanted to be independent like Senior Brother Lu.

Later, he felt that Su Shishi was beautiful and kind, gentle and considerate, and full of maternal love, making people unable to help but want to act like a spoiled child in front of her.

Now, seeing Su Shishi full of power with every punch and kick, beating the phoenix until it couldn't even crawl, he felt that his small body wasn't as sturdy as the phoenix's. Out of safety considerations, he should stay away from Su Shishi.

This was what was called "not forgetting the original intention."

Li Haoran's legs trembled, extinguishing the heart of eating soft rice that had just risen.

He had the heart but not the bones for it.

Walking on the street and holding her arm was just breaking an arm; if the relationship went further, he didn't dare imagine what kind of devastation his body would suffer.

Lu Yang seemed to understand Li Haoran's psychological state and patted him on the shoulder: "Everything has its pros and cons."

Never mind Li Haoran; even the County Magistrate and the Mo family head felt their hearts tremble seeing Su Shishi's terrifying fighting style.

This senior looked soft and weak, so why did she seem like a different person when she started fighting?

They came underground to see if there was anything they could help with. Now they were worried that if they went down to help, Su Shishi would beat them up as well.

"Is this Congwendao Sect senior a body cultivator?"

The two of them still thought Su Shishi was a figure like a Congwendao Sect elder.

"Senior Su is not an elder of our Congwen Dao Sect; she is his fiancée," Meng Jingzhou grandly introduced the outstanding youth of Luofeng County, Li Haoran.

The County Magistrate and the Mo family head stood in awe.

The group above was chatting and laughing, but the state of the Jiuyou Sect member below wasn't very good.

In order to refine the phoenix corpse, destroy Luofeng County, and provoke conflict between the human race and the Phoenix clan, he had planned for several years, consulting classics, reading ancient books, visiting seniors, and exploring ancient ruins, finally learning the method to refine the phoenix corpse.

The Phoenix clan was a pro-peace faction and had a relatively harmonious relationship with the human race. If he could provoke conflict under the guise of refining the phoenix corpse and then turn it into a war, there would inevitably be countless casualties, allowing more people to enter reincarnation.

One step away!

Just one step away!

How did a Body Integration stage cultivator pop up?

"Even if you are in the Body Integration stage, it won't work!" The Jiuyou Sect member shouted and screamed, already completely insane.

Controlling such a huge corpse was a test for both his cultivation and mental strength.

It stood to reason that there would be other Jiuyou Sect members to help him share the pressure generated by the control, but those people had already been killed by Su Shishi.

The old phoenix ignited a raging fire, crackling and popping, and even space showed signs of distortion. Lu Yang and his group standing at the very edge could feel the rolling heat waves coming, one after another.

The County Magistrate had no choice but to take out a string of gold bells from his storage ring to cover everyone.

Su Shishi stepped on the phoenix's back, and the phoenix fell with a bang, but the flames showed no sign of weakening.

Phoenix true flames could dissolve all things, and soil was no exception. This underground hollow was burned out by the true flames. If the true flames were allowed to spread, the entire Luofeng County would be plunged into a vast ocean of fire!

Phoenix true flames and Golden Crow true flames were flames as famous as the Samadhi True Fire, and they were illustrious.

"The blooming of Phoenix true flames is as difficult to deal with as ever." The Immortal Fairy was watching the battle in the spiritual space, remembering the Phoenix clan geniuses she had taught.

The geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix clans naturally mastered the housekeeping skills of their own races. Their use of fire was perfect, and it was very suitable for cooking.

"Is there any way to restrain it?" Lu Yang asked quickly. If there was no way, he could only summon Senior Sister.

"There is a unique acupuncture point of the phoenix in the middle of its neck. That is the source of the Phoenix true flame. If you hit that point, it won't be able to spit out flames anymore." The Immortal Fairy didn't drop the ball and gave the solution at the critical moment.

Hearing this, Lu Yang quickly transmitted the message to Su Shishi. Su Shishi turned her head in surprise and looked at Lu Yang, but didn't think much of it, just assuming that the Congwendao Sect disciple was well-informed and had heard it when listening to his sect's lectures.

After all, his master was the Congwendao Sect Master.

Su Shishi aimed at the position Lu Yang mentioned and rushed over. The Phoenix true flames surged toward her as if they had gone crazy. She closed her five fingers, clenched her right fist, placed it at her waist, exerted force suddenly, and threw a punch, completely distorting the space in front of her. The Phoenix true flames could no longer get close to her.

"Die!"

Su Shishi threw another punch, making a muffled thunder-like sound, hammering on the old phoenix's neck. The Phoenix true flames seemed to have lost their source and gradually disappeared.

"What is going on?!" The Jiuyou Sect member was shocked. Phoenix true flames were known to dissolve all things and could not be extinguished, so why did they disappear?

What the Immortal Fairy told Lu Yang was a secret of the Phoenix clan, which even the Phoenix clan didn't know much about, let alone the Jiuyou Sect member.

Having lost the Phoenix true flames, the old phoenix was no longer a threat. The Jiuyou Sect member still wanted to use a desperate momentum to kill a bloody path, but was hammered by Su Shishi until he couldn't even move.

Su Shishi was also angry in her heart. She had pretended to be a quiet and gentle lady for several days, finally being able to leave a good impression on Li Haoran, and it was ruined by you just like that.

Damn Jiuyou Sect!

Die, die, die!

Watching Su Shishi's heaven-shaking fists one after another, Li Haoran couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

If this hit him, he reckoned even his soul wouldn't be left.

Finally, Su Shishi threw the most rigid and fierce punch. The sound passed through the ground, and the entire Luofeng County could hear it, representing the end of this battle.

She tore a hole in the phoenix corpse, dragged out the Jiuyou Sect member, searched his soul directly, and then frowned.

In the battle just now, this member used spiritual sense far beyond his load, causing his mind to be a mess now, and nothing could be seen.

In other words, this member had already gone crazy.

"Bad luck." Su Shishi snapped the member's neck and sent him to the Nine Nether.

The underground hollow left by the battle was a bit difficult to deal with. Su Shishi temporarily used the power of rules to fix the upper space, and let the Great Xia Dynasty send people to deal with the rest.

After all, she wasn't good at this aspect of things.

"Many thanks to the senior for your help. Without you, Luofeng County would probably have been unable to escape this disaster." The County Magistrate clasped his fists in thanks, from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me yet. What is going on with this Phoenix Blood Stone? Explain it."

"Senior, this Phoenix Blood Stone really is nothing. I just found it curious..." The County Magistrate clearly didn't want to tell the truth to everyone.

Lu Yang took out the image-recording ball: "This has evidence of County Magistrate Shi trespassing on private property, stealing property, and defecting to the Jiuyou Sect."

"Wait, trespassing on private property and stealing property is fine, but when did I defect to the Jiuyou Sect?"

Lu Yang played the image-recording ball. On the image-recording ball, the Jiuyou Sect member flipped over the wall and entered, and the County Magistrate and the Mo family head followed behind the Jiuyou Sect member, arriving at Meng Jingzhou's guest room together.

The image stopped here.

"What about the rest? Where is the footage of the two of us finding out the Jiuyou Sect's purpose and preparing to fight?" The County Magistrate and the Mo family head were anxious.

Lu Yang was expressionless: "The image-recording ball is broken; the rest isn't showing."

"If the County Magistrate is willing to explain the reason to us, maybe I have a way to fix the image-recording ball."

"The Congwendao Sect disciples are well-deserved of their reputation," the County Magistrate said through gritted teeth.
