Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 446 - 456: Phoenix

Chapter 446: Chapter 456: Phoenix

The full-force strike from the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was terrifying beyond belief.

Even with the combined efforts of Elder Hei and others at the Sword God Level, they couldn’t block it. Qin Keren, who was merely at the Great Sword Master Realm, somehow withstood it with her flesh and blood. The agony she experienced in that instant was unimaginable.

"If there is a next life... I, I would also like to be your wife..."

With those words, she mustered all her courage and exhausted her last bit of strength and vitality. Had she not been at life’s end, now that she wouldn’t have another chance, she would never have said it.

Qin Keren might have kept this unrequited love hidden in her heart forever.

"Fool, there’s no need for a next life; in this very life, I can marry you! Even if it means being scolded by Xiao Ying, I would still take you as my wife!" Chu Feng’s heart felt as if it was pierced by a sword, the pain left him breathless.

Because of his words, Qin Keren could no longer hear anything.

Recalling the moments since he met Senior Sister Qin, Chu Feng’s eyes welled up with tears, blurring his vision.

"Junior Brother Chu, if someone ever bullies you, just mention your senior sister’s name!"

"Junior Brother Chu, this Ten-thousand-year-old Daluo Sword Grass is a little token of affection from your senior sister!"

"Little junior brother, you are amazing! Congratulations on finally reclaiming the Nine Yang Sword Veins..."

Qin Keren’s care and affection for Chu Feng had already far exceeded what a senior sister ought to do. Her kindness and concern for Chu Feng, every little bit had already deeply permeated his heart.

Boom!

Qin Keren’s body exploded violently, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, with evil Qi soaring to the skies like a Demon God, destroyed her body with his sword and quickly advanced towards Chu Feng.

"Alchemy Venerate, even if you flee to the heavens or delve into the earth, today, I shall slay you! No one can save you!"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s aura climbed again, the sword light condensed, and danced wildly like a demonic dragon.

"Senior Sister Qin..." Chu Feng let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Watching with his own eyes as Senior Sister Qin was killed by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and then even her corpse was obliterated, with no trace left.

His eyes were about to split with rage, and he fell into a berserk state.

The murderous intent within could no longer be contained.

With ample breeding ground, the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique began to erode Chu Feng’s true nature at a terrifying speed at this moment.

To kill everything, to annihilate the heavens and earth.

Chu Feng’s rationality was completely overwhelmed by a raging ocean of Devil Thoughts. Strands of Evil Qi condensed on his body, manifesting as Demon Flames. His eyes too turned completely blood red.

In the meantime, Beixie National Master relentlessly made his utmost effort to escape with Chu Feng.

Finally, at a critical moment, they escaped into the forest.

"Heavenly Revolving Earthly Spinning Seven Stars, tread lightly among the constellations and stride across the northern dipper! Yin and Yang intersect, reversing and activating the Mysterious Formation!"

The Beixie National Master chanted as he gestured towards several trees.

They indeed shifted their positions. Then, the entire forest began to swirl like the stars, as if it came alive.

The pursuing Panlong Heavenly Emperor, no matter how powerful, charged headlong into it. But he was like a blind bird, floundering aimlessly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Every sword strike from the Panlong Heavenly Emperor held the might to destroy heaven and earth. One after another, large trees were felled by him.

Strangely enough, the trees within the forest seemed infinite, impervious to being slashed or killed. No matter how fiercely the Panlong Heavenly Emperor hacked and chopped, the forest remained undestroyed, Chu Feng’s figure nowhere to be found.

"Come out, come out..."

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor roared furiously, appearing to be in a frenzy.

All his Sword God Level subordinates also entered the forest and joined the chopping frenzy.

Suddenly, the Mysterious Formation seemed like it couldn’t bear it any longer.

A single stroke of power overcomes a myriad of tactics.

No matter how formidable an array might be, it will shatter before absolute power. An array is merely a method of harnessing the forces of nature, granting it some unimaginable strength. But it does not imply invincibility.

This Mysterious Formation had only been casually set up by the Beixie National Master.

After the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and his men had completely destroyed the forest, Chu Feng had already vanished without a trace.

"Chu Feng, won’t you come out? If not, I shall slaughter everyone around you!"

Unable to find Chu Feng, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was driven to madness.

He suddenly turned around, staring at Pu Li and others who had not yet escaped far. He was about to draw his sword and kill all of Chu Feng’s companions to vent the fury in his heart.

"What joy it is to have friends come from afar!"

"Panlong Crown Prince... Oh, I should now address you as Panlong Heavenly Emperor. You ascended to the throne by committing patricide and fratricide, usurping your brother’s wife. I truly find it intolerable that scum like you are still alive in this world."

"If the heavens truly have eyes, a bolt of lightning should strike you down!"

In the sky above, the winds howled and thunder rolled, with cranes and birds crying in unison.

A majestic and dignified middle-aged man stood proudly atop a bird with wings nearly a hundred meters wide. That bird was nothing like ordinary sparrows or hawks.

Its entire body was a flaming red, and its long tail feathers made it appear even more extraordinary.

Above its head, a cluster of colorful feathers blossomed like a crown, adding to its regal and majestic appearance.

Even high in the sky, it was like the king of all birds, with all demon birds showing immense reverence, centering around it as their sovereign.

Strong and peerless fierce aura emanated from the bird, causing everyone below to feel uneasy.

Those with weaker cultivation could barely stand, their legs weakening, nearly kneeling and bowing in reverence.

A demon bird equivalent to a Nine-star Sword God among humans is an absolutely formidable existence. A single breath of fire could instantly kill a swath of Sword Saints and Sword Gods.

"Gods above, with wings nearly a hundred meters wide, doesn’t it have the strength of a Nine-star Sword God among humans?"

"It has long been rumored that the Vermilion Bird Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country has raised a phoenix, and it must be this one."

Those who recognized the bird exclaimed in surprise.

"Not good, the Vermilion Bird Emperor himself has rushed over with his people!" Even if the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was arrogant and eager to kill Chu Feng, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart at this moment.

Originally, according to the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s plan.

He intended to sneak into the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country quietly and kill Chu Feng with a lightning strike in the shortest time possible.

By then, even if the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country responded quickly, they would be unable to stop him.

But plans can’t keep up with changes.

Chu Feng proved to be far more tenacious than the Panlong Heavenly Emperor had imagined. Moreover, several powerful individuals, including those who favored him, were willing to protect Chu Feng with their lives.

Added to that, the Mysterious Formation laid out by the Beixie National Master was incredibly fierce, causing the Panlong Crown Prince to waste significant time.

Ultimately, provoking the Vermilion Bird Emperor himself to come with many strong fighters to kill him.

"Retreat!"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor could no longer focus on dealing with Chu Feng, and made a quick decision to flee on his sword towards the distance.

"To think you can leave after coming to my Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s territory. Do you think this is a marketplace?"

"Kill!"

The Vermilion Bird Emperor, standing proudly atop the phoenix, clad in a fiery red Heavenly Emperor Robe with a Vermilion Bird on the chest and nine Divine Dragons embroidered on the back, looked extremely festive and no less majestic.

As soon as his voice fell, strong fighters, some riding demon birds and others flying with Sword Flight, swarmed like locusts, charging at the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.
