The wind and forest were filled with the joy of victory. Conquering the Flying Saint City, the expeditionary force has occupied half of thePurple Dwarf, achieving such a result in just half a year is undoubtedly something to be proud of.
As an old subordinate of Han State, he knew more about Deng Chanyu's technique to mend geomantic lines. With the important geomantic line node of Fei Sheng City, they can gather the power of geomantic lines and turn from invaders into owners. They can use geographical advantages to restrain demons and spirits in return.
He was pondering this when, suddenly, a gust of black wind swept past him. Feng Lin quickly sidestepped to avoid it, but the black wind was too fast. A streak of light flashed by, and the armor that was as solid as a rock was completely shattered, and the robust figure was severed at the waist into two halves.
Feng Lin didn't feel the intense pain in his waist until two breaths later.
Will I die? I have just completed a small part of my dream to achieve greatness and establish a foundation!
Feng Lin is a descendant of Feng Hou, the Prime Minister under the Yellow Emperor. This ancestor has put a lot of pressure on him. However, with limited abilities, he often doesn't know where to direct his efforts. Now that he has a good opportunity, unfortunately, he's going to die.
Feng Lin's life force was rapidly draining away with blood, and a pair of malicious eyes appeared in the black wind, full of killing intent.
The strange sounds from the opponent's mouth made Feng Lin feel that he was surrounded by a strong force of law with severe lags. He was like an insect trapped in a spider web, no matter how much he struggled, it didn't make any difference.
As he was seething with anger, a moment of dizziness overcame him. It seemed as if he and the surrounding world were suddenly separated by some force. The people and objects around him appeared to be in a state of stasis. Then he himself rapidly retreated backward. What had happened?
He suddenly stood up, followed by an expression of utter shock. How could he have been cut in the waist if he didn't?
Looking around, it seemed to be the east gate of Fei Sheng City. Feng Lin had previously smashed the gate and directly found the Deputy City Master here, killing him with a red orb in his mouth, severing his head. Then he was attacked by black smoke.
A clear and pleasant voice echoed beside him: "Don't overthink it, you're still on the battlefield."
"Prince?!" Excited beyond measure, he looked at the suddenly appearing Phoenix, who had just used time magic to pull Feng Lin back ten breaths before, avoiding his fatal blow.
The so-called strong entity that excels in surprise attacks, as said by Huanglong Zhenren, should be this stream of black smoke. Feng Lin has been defending for six months. The guy is really stubborn.
She said, "General Feng, leave this to me. You take your troops to clear the demons from the other locations."
Feng Lin scratched his head, unsure if it was a hallucination or something else. The feeling of being cut in the waist was incredibly clear. The sense of powerlessness and anger was really hard to describe.
"Yes!" He nodded woodenly and led his troops far away from this battlefield.
The Phoenix's spiritual awareness locked onto the main culprit behind the surprise attack on Feng Lin. This individual was hiding in a cloud of black smoke, extremely powerful, and must have been someone of no small reputation before he went into possession by the demon.
She asked, "I have seen most of the ten Great Saint Beasts of the demon race, and there are two I haven't seen. This city is called Fei Sheng City, is the Fei Sheng because of Fei Hen or because of Fei Dan? Which one of these two Great Saint Beasts from the demon race are you?"
The Fei Lin from the followers of King Zhou is just a name coincidence. The Fei Lin of the demon race is indeed Fei Lin. The Fei Lin of the human race actually has the surname Ying, and is sometimes also called Fei Lian, just like Zhao Tiezhu and Tiezhu, which are completely unrelated.
The enemy within the black smoke realized that it would be impossible for him to defeat her in a short time, and chose to retreat immediately. As the black smoke split into seven parts, each fleeing in a different direction.
"Where do you think you're going?" Fenghuang could not use Deng Chanyu's various artifacts. Now she could only use divine skills and spells, and her strength had slightly declined, although it all depended on who she was up against.
She spat out a stream of scorching flame into the sky. The next moment, the flame formed a massive and heavy fire cloud, and a rain of fire descended from the heavens, covering the entire city and an expansive range of a million miles around.
The heavenly soldiers and generals had been well-prepared for this. They began to take their medications, eat fire-resistant pills, and mentally recited Buddhist sutras, "May the Buddha bless us!"! For those who were not particularly unlucky, they would probably be fine.
On the side of the demons, things were different. The rain of fire from the sky was extremely refined, seemingly just a small spark, but when it encountered demonic energy, it would inflate and burn in a rather exaggerated manner until it consumed all the demonic energy before extinguishing.
Fenghuang spat out three streams of flames into the sky in one go: a sub-zero extinguishing yin fire, a sunfire that vanquishes demons, and finally a southern burning light fire that incinerates all things.
She took out the Fenghuang staff, and like a conductor of an orchestra, she began to manipulate the flames.
The demons suffered heavy casualties, and those hiding in the black smoke repeatedly attempted to escape but were forced back by the flames. If it tried to charge through the rain of fire, its disguise would definitely be exposed.
The demons within the black smoke hesitated for a moment and then immediately retreated. They were now engaged in battle with Fenghuang.
"Hmm? You're someone who doesn't dare show your face? I'm growing more curious about your identity. Let me see, who exactly are you?"
Fenghuang now enjoyed this direct confrontation the most. Behind her, a phantasmal image of the innate Wu Tong tree manifested. The phoenix shadow danced gracefully among the branches. The power she obtained from the flames suddenly increased by threefold, and with a punch, the little half of the Purple Dwarf star was momentarily shaken.
A howling and roaring sounded from within the black smoke, facing such a punch that relies on its powerful godly consciousness to lock onto it, leaving no room for avoidance, it could only stand its ground.
An arm with fierce scales emerged from the black smoke, powerful and heavy, without any flame illusion or magical prowess, pure and overwhelming raw power of life force.
At the moment when the two sides' forces were about to touch, the fire suddenly dispersed on Fenghuang's side, and the black smoke was caught off guard. It couldn't make an effort to increase its power or decrease it. As Fenghuang casually shifted a step to the side in space, the fierce attack from the black smoke fell into emptiness. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of fire arrows covered it completely, these arrows were angle-sharp and penetrative, tearing through layer upon layer of barriers until revealing the true identity beneath the black smoke.
Fei Hen had a bird's head and a deer's body, he was the one who came to Emperor Jun's door and submitted himself, ranked last among the ten Great Saint Beasts, mainly because of his weak strength. Fenghuang probably had some understanding of this. Fei Hen finally only reached the early level of Da Luo Jin Xian.
Fei Dan is extremely powerful, with his true form being a red-footed mouse. The mouse race, after all, is one of the least advanced races in the Primordial Era. However, Fei Dan had numerous fortuitous encounters, killing enemies and breaking through obstacles along the way, and was eventually recruited by Emperor Jun, ranking among the ten Great Saint Beasts.
After joining the celestial court, Fei Dan further advanced, and not only was he skilled in using toxins but also had wings sprout from his back, allowing him to come and go without a trace. During the War of Demons and Immortals, he had already reached the peak of Da Luo Jin Xian and could hold his own against nearly-saints thanks to the powerful toxins.
At present, the demons within the black smoke are neither Fei Hen nor Fei Dan, but rather a combination of the two.
At a glance, it seems to be a deer body without a head, which may come from Fei Hen. However, the toxic substances that erode Huanglong Zhenren's Dao Body seem to come from Fei Dan.
