Chapter 749: Chapter 573 Noble Bloodline

Su Yu’s left bronze giant arm, shrouded in St. Elmo’s Fire, was striking down towards the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s head. It seemed that one more punch would certainly smash its head and claim its life when suddenly, the beast opened its mouth and screamed in a human voice, "Stop!"

Taken by surprise, Su Yu hesitated, never expecting that the Phoenix Dragon Beast could speak human language. While he hesitated, the creature suddenly swung its body, flinging Su Yu aside, then violently flapped its wings and took off into the sky. It quickly gained distance, but it was gravely wounded. It floated in mid-air, swaying unsteadily, looking as if it could not hang on much longer.

Su Yu looked up at the Phoenix Dragon Beast swaying in mid-air and took the opportunity to breathe deeply, replenishing the severely depleted special power within his body. A hint of surprise gleamed in his eyes.

This Phoenix Dragon Beast in front of him seemed unusual; it could actually speak the human tongue. This was an encounter he had never had before.

The Ada, perched on his shoulder, exclaimed with admiration, "It carries the heritage of the Dragon and Phoenix bloodline, though perhaps diluted, it is already remarkable. Phoenix Dragon Beast, if you want to survive, open the portal to the higher world and we might just spare your life."

With strength equivalent to a Six-Star Beast General, if Su Yu were to kill the Phoenix Dragon Beast and absorb its energy, it would enable Su Yu to evolve once more, becoming a true Fourth-Order Bronze Warrior. However, Ada had already seen hints that this Dragon Phoenix Beast was no ordinary creature and thus made this request. It was subtly reminding Su Yu that opening the portal to the Upper Realm without having to kill the Phoenix Dragon Beast would be better.

No one knew what sort of existence might lie behind this Phoenix Dragon Beast, but from Su Yu’s point of view, he had already troubled himself with enough problems. Naturally, Ada did not want him to get into new troubles.

Good fortune could not forever follow Su Yu.

Hearing Ada’s words, Su Yu retracted the St. Elmo’s fire flickering on his hands and stepped back, slowly responding, "Open the portal, and your life shall be spared."

Hearing the promise from both Su Yu and Ada, the wobbling Phoenix Dragon Beast in mid-air could no longer maintain its flight and fell back down. Panting heavily, it agreed, "Fine... Ok... But...I need... to recover... to open it..."

Su Yu paused at its condition; if he waited for the creature to recover and it decided to run, he may not get another chance. Just as he was considering his options, Ada nodded in agreement for him. Then, Ada’s voice echoed in Su Yu’s mind, "This creature, possessing Dragon and Phoenix heritage, is unbearably proud, but once it agrees, it is trustworthy, remember Su Yu, in the worlds like this one, there are many beings like it; extremely proud and cannot be taken lightly. Always bear good intentions and keep some room for contingencies as it might yield unexpected benefits in the future."

Su Yu took in Ada’s advice and slowly nodded. He deeply trusted Ada’s judgement. If Ada said so, Su Yu chose to sit down and rest. He had managed to defeat the Phoenix Dragon Beast, but it was a difficult victory and he too was severely wounded.

The Phoenix Dragon Beast lay on the ground, gasping. Gradually, the ghostly figures of a dragon and a phoenix appeared on its body, enveloping it. Within the figures, the Beast’s injuries were visibly healing at an incredible rate.

From the sidelines, Ma Ziye and Qin Jiagui marvelled at the scene, while Su Yu sat cross-legged, inhaling deeply. As the liquefied special power in his body continuously surged, he was soon fully recovered from the severe loss he had sustained in the battle. Su Yu swayed his hands lightly, feeling his power had slightly increased after this battle.

This was Su Yu’s first hard-fought battle since the special power in his body had liquefied. Now his strength, the combination of the fully transformed lightning power from the golden blood and the liquefied special power, was slightly ahead of a Six-Star Beast General. It should be noted that among Six-Star Beast Generals, the Phoenix Dragon Beast was one of the strongest.

About ten minutes later, the Dragon and Phoenix figures dispelled from the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s body. The once dilapidated, dying creature immediately looked majestic once again. The pair of dragon eyes sparkled with intimidating power. It stood up from the ground, displaying its arrogance once again.

Following its movement, Su Yu also stood up and calmly said, "Phoenix Dragon Beast, your wounds are fully healed. It’s time to open the portal." If the Phoenix Dragon Beast dared to refuse, he would not hesitate to send his bronze giant arm flying towards it.

Though the Phoenix Dragon Beast appeared arrogant, it nodded at Su Yu’s words immediately and stated in its sharp voice, "Rest assured, I never break a promise, especially when it’s made to insignificant beings like you humans."

Listening to the creature’s arrogant claim, Qin Jiagui couldn’t help wonder out loud, "We humans might be insignificant, but you were defeated by these ’insignificant’ beings. There doesn’t seem to be anything to be proud of."

Ignoring Qin Jiagui’s sarcastic comment, the Phoenix Dragon Beast started roaring towards the sky. Before anyone realized, the creature flapped its wings and surged into the sky.

Su Yu was startled and stepped forward, but it was already too late. The moment the Phoenix Dragon Beast blinked, it soared into the sky and vanished among the clouds above the void.

Qin Jiagui couldn’t help but exclaim, "That’s not good, this guy has escaped. What now? Are we stuck in this world?"

Just as Ada was about to shake her head and speak, a heavenly ladder suddenly extended from the clouds above the void and quickly landed steadily atop the Tree Tower. Then, the Phoenix Dragon Beast strutted down this heavenly ladder.

Seeing this, Ada heaved a sigh of relief, a small smile on her face. The Phoenix Dragon Beast’s performance had indeed not disappointed her. It was truly a beast with a proud lineage, possessing its own dignity. And Ada, herself, was also known as the Category 5 Lifeforms that was born with nobility and considered closest to the perfect life form. Hence, Ada understood the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s attitude very well.

"Let’s go. Follow this heavenly ladder and we can leave this world. Though with your current strength, I’m afraid we won’t get far," the Phoenix Dragon Beast said still as arrogant as ever, full of disdain.

Su Yu remained calm and gave a faint smile, not minding the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s attitude. Qin Jiagui’s brows furrowed slightly, looking at the Phoenix Dragon Beast unfavorably. Ever since the awakening of the Seed Power within him, coupled with a series of changes with Yuan Niping, Qin Jiagui’s personality had become much more impatient and impulsive than before.

Ada smiled and said, "Su Yu, let’s go. I think if everything goes well, we can enter the fourth layer of the ’Bronze Tower’ world through this heavenly ladder."

Su Yu responded with a nod and, leading Ada, ascended the heavenly ladder first. The Phoenix Dragon Beast looked at Su Yu, its eyes shining with an indescribable strange look. From its perspective, Su Yu was just a human in the Bronze Third Level, so it was puzzled how Su Yu could be so powerful that he could surpass it, the mighty Six-Star Beast General. If this trend were to continue, wouldn’t Su Yu be invincible once he reached the Sixth Order Realm?

The Phoenix Dragon Beast, full of dissatisfaction and defiance because of its rare and noble lineage which made it arrogant and contemptuous of everyone, was particularly upset at having to face someone who seemed even more impressive than itself.

Su Yu noticed the peculiar look in the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s dragon-eyes and grinned back at it. The Phoenix Dragon Beast abruptly asked, "Human, are you really just in the Bronze Third Level?"

The Phoenix Dragon Beast’s perception was quite strong and it could clearly sense that Su Yu was in the Bronze Third Level. However, Su Yu’s strength made the beast doubt even its own perception, leading it to seek clarity.

Su Yu nodded faintly at it, replying, "Yes, I am a Bronze Warrior in the Third Level."

The Phoenix Dragon Beast took a sharp inhale. Its perception hadn’t been mistaken. However, that damned Su Yu was only in the bronze Third Level. This made the Phoenix Dragon Beast experience frustration. Su Yu had already began to descend the ladder, with Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Yano, and Diudiu following closely behind.

In no time, everyone followed the heavenly ladder deep into the clouds high in the sky. The Phoenix Dragon Beast, following behind them, looked at Su Yu, its dragon eyes flickering with extreme irritation. Su Yu gave it a sense of failure, something it could not accept given its noble birth and lineage.

A moment later, as Su Yu and the others reached the end of the ladder, the Phoenix Dragon Beast clenched its teeth as though it had made some resolutions and joined them. Su Yu turned back, slightly taken aback. Ma Ziye waved her hand, "Phoenix Dragon Beast, we don’t need your escort. It seems that we’ll be leaving this world soon."

"Humph," the Phoenix Dragon Beast huffed, "I didn’t send you. I just want to go to the upper world with you."

The Phoenix Dragon Beast’s words caught Ma Ziye and the others by surprise. Ada laughed, "Phoenix Dragon Beast, you want to follow us?"

The Phoenix Dragon Beast nodded, "That’s right. I carry the noble blood of the Dragon and Phoenix in my body. I won’t lose to an insignificant human. You name is Su Yu, right? I will defeat you. Until then, I will follow you. Do you dare to let me stay?"

Su Yu looked at the Phoenix Dragon Beast, slightly moved. He looked at Ada, her round eyes sparkled with a touch of amusement. She just said, "Phoenix Dragon Beast, you guard the last checkpoint of this World Tree Tower, can you really leave here on your own?"

The Phoenix Dragon Beast huffed lightly, "So what? Even though this is my task, I have already failed. I can choose to leave naturally. On the contrary, others will choose another guardian beast. I have nothing to do with this place anymore."(To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
