Chapter 1474 - 534: Little Zhiyo Rescues His Wife
The Fire Phoenix spoke these words with incomparably heavy weight, his heart full of reluctance.
The momentum of the Molten Lava Fire Column was terrifying; even the Old Clan Leader, who had undergone eight Little Niranas, could not withstand it, let alone the Fire Phoenix.
To save his aged father, he had already steeled himself for a fight to the death.
How could he bear it—his daughter had just returned, his beloved wife and child filled his home—yet if he did not save the Old Clan Leader, his conscience would condemn him for life.
Seeing the resolve in her father’s eyes, Little Wuya’s wrist gave a tremor, and a surge of Primordial Power firmly bound the Fire Phoenix in place.
"Little Wuya, what are you doing!"
The Fire Phoenix saw his daughter swoop toward the Molten Lava Fire Column like a moth plunging into flame.
He suddenly understood that his daughter intended to go in his stead to save the Phoenix Emperor.
"Father, I carry Ancient Phoenix Blood in my body. Compared to you, I’m more suited to save Grandfather. Mother needs you, and the clansmen of Jiunie Mountain need you as well."
Little Wuya resolutely transformed into Phoenix Form, circulating the Nine-Turned Phoenix Breath.
Her already scarlet feathers turned an even deeper crimson, blazing up like a raging fire.
With a clear, melodious cry, Little Wuya turned into a Fireball and flew toward the Molten Lava Fire Column.
But at that moment, the Molten Lava Fire Column suddenly shuddered.
Within Jiuqu Volcano, another, even more violent streak of golden-red lava erupted forth.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, an Elixir Fire Phoenix, condensed from Fire Spirits, soared out from the crater.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix saw the giant python upon the fire column and let out an arrogant screech.
Its golden beak aimed at the python’s eye and pecked down viciously.
The giant python hissed sharply, coiling its body and slamming itself heavily toward the Elixir Fire Phoenix.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix’s sharp talons clamped onto its vital point, gave a brutal fling, and the giant python crashed hard against the Molten Lava Fire Column; the Spiritual Power within its body shattered apart.
At the instant the giant python was smashed to pieces, Rui’s complexion turned deathly pale.
When the Elixir Fire Phoenix’s gaze fell upon Rui, the Primordial Power in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant; his legs went weak again and again.
"It wasn’t me..."
Seeing the Elixir Fire Phoenix kill the Spiritual Python with a single claw, Rui lost even the slightest will to resist.
He no longer cared whether the Old Clan Leader lived or died, and in terror he scrambled and crawled, preparing to flee.
A trace of disdain flashed in the Elixir Fire Phoenix’s eyes.
It let out a sharp screech, and violent Fire Power, in a ring-shaped wave, burst out from its body.
In his panic, Rui was struck by a chunk of lava; his body was instantly swallowed by firelight, and like a Meteor he plummeted from the sky. By the time he hit the ground, he had already become a charred, blackened corpse.
Seeing their son’s tragic state, Rui’s parents cried out in grief and fainted on the spot.
After the Elixir Fire Phoenix appeared, Jiuqu Volcano’s activity grew ever more intense.
Jiuqu Volcano shook violently again, and the lava within the crater poured down like a breached flood.
The scalding lava submerged trees and melted rock; in an unending torrent, it surged toward Jiunie Mountain and the foot of the mountain.
If not stopped, this sudden eruption would bring calamity to countless citizens of Ah County.
At this moment, Little Wuya already understood that she bore a double burden upon her shoulders.
To rescue Grandfather, and to slay this Elixir Fire Phoenix.
She also knew that her strength was not much greater than Rui’s, yet she had no way to retreat.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix circled in the air with a condescending posture.
Its Spiritual Body, formed by gathering the vast Spiritual Power of Jiuqu Volcano, blanketed the sky like a colossal behemoth.
Little Wuya was merely an as-yet immature Young Phoenix; before it, she seemed so insignificant.
Its eyes were filled with savagery and killing intent.
Little Wuya did not back down.
From afar, the sorrowful cries of the Ice Phoenix and the others faintly drifted over.
"I don’t care whether you’re a Divine Bird or something else; I only know that today I must save my grandfather."
Little Wuya’s gaze fell into the Molten Lava Fire Column.
The Old Clan Leader’s body was being swallowed by lava; his feathers burned, and he looked on the verge of death.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix seemed to understand Little Wuya’s words. It let out a mocking cry, and its wings beat heavily.
Flames shot into the sky, and the Molten Lava Fire Column moved, like a whip lashing fiercely toward Little Wuya.
"Abyss Fire Hell!"
Little Wuya circulated the Nine Revolutions Phoenix Body within her.
Countless Fireballs poured down like a torrential storm.
The rain of Fireballs slammed against the Molten Lava Fire Column; that dreadful pillar, connecting heaven above and earth below, actually cracked open with fissures and burst apart.
Seeing this, Little Wuya dove rapidly downward and grabbed hold of the Old Clan Leader’s body.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix flew into a rage, ramming viciously into Little Wuya; its wings, weighing at least a thousand catties, slammed hard into Little Wuya’s back.
Two heavy thuds.
Little Wuya’s organs seemed to shift out of place; her whole body shuddered uncontrollably, and she nearly loosened her grip on the Old Clan Leader beneath her claws.
"Don’t you dare touch my little wife!"
At that moment, no one knew from where Little Zhiyo suddenly sprang out.
A furious roar burst from its throat as it faced the Elixir Fire Phoenix, whose body was several times larger than its own.
The Ghost Beast Power swelled within its body; its baby-blue eyes turned entirely blood-red. As though Emperor Gui Tao had descended upon it, it actually showed no fear of the Elixir Fire Phoenix, and like a small mountain, it abruptly pounced upon it.
"Little Zhiyo."
Seeing Little Zhiyo locked in combat with the Elixir Fire Phoenix, Little Wuya was both anxious and alarmed. Forcing down the taste of blood that had surged up to her throat, she mustered her last breath, about to risk everything in a final clash with the Elixir Fire Phoenix.
"Little Wuya, fall back first."
A hand appeared behind her; Ye Lingyue steadied Little Wuya and, without allowing any argument, sent both her and the Old Phoenix Emperor back down to the ground, entrusting them to the people of the Phoenix Clan.
The fierce battle in the sky continued.
Seeing his beloved Little Wuya injured, the hidden Ghost Beast Power within Little Zhiyo erupted all at once.
He traded blows with the Elixir Fire Phoenix, his movement technique astonishingly fast; his palm strikes fell like bolts of lightning.
Strike after strike, he shattered the Fire Spirits on the Elixir Fire Phoenix’s body.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix’s Spiritual Power was on the verge of completely collapsing.
Little Zhiyo let out a ferocious roar, leaping onto the Elixir Fire Phoenix’s back with shocking speed, and drove a palm down.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix’s body plummeted straight down like a shooting star. Knowing that it would surely die today, it flew into a rage; its talons dug tightly into Little Zhiyo’s spine, dragging him with it as they fell toward Jiuqu Volcano.
Vast Fire Spirits burned fiercely.
Little Zhiyo’s body had already turned into a Fireball.
At that moment, a fluctuation of Spiritual Power rippled through the air. The Elixir Fire Phoenix turned its head to see a pitch-black cauldron smashing brutally into its Spiritual Body.
The Elixir Fire Phoenix let out a miserable scream as its Fire Spirit Power finally and completely collapsed.
That mysterious Black Cauldron flashed across the sky; its mouth opened wide, drawing the severely burned Little Zhiyo into the cauldron.
The cauldron fell into Ye Lingyue’s hands—it turned out that at the critical moment, Ye Lingyue had summoned the Qian Cauldron.
After the Elixir Fire Phoenix dispersed, Jiuqu Volcano finally began to slowly return to calm.
