Chapter 291 Desperate Situation
Fortunately, some time has passed since the battle with Feng Ying. Now that they are really fighting, even if Lin Zhao can't fight Feng Xiao head-on, Feng Xiao can't catch her off guard by her speed of escape.

Feng Xiao launched a barrage of attacks, but Lin Zhao dodged them all with the help of the Heavenly Phoenix Wings. Feng Xiao was so angry that he gritted his teeth as he watched Lin Zhao's retreating figure.

"If I could use the power of my true body..."

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and the fleeing figure in front of him paused for a moment. Then Lin Zhao turned around and heard an old voice in his ear.

"If you want to use the power of your true form, then try to send out the message."

Feng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked to find that a faint barrier had appeared in the surrounding world.

"Become a god?"

Only powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage can use the power of heaven and earth to seal off a region.

But if Lin Zhao herself is a Nascent Soul cultivator, then killing him and breaking up would be a piece of cake, so why would she have to flee in such a sorry state?

"Who are you?" Feng Xiao paused, then said, "If you would be so kind as to do us a favor, we will grant you..."

A phantom image of a purple phoenix directly covered Feng Xiao's face.

This phantom was not very harmful, but extremely insulting. Feng Xiao raised his hand and crushed Lin Zhao's spiritual energy manifestation. His gaze was fixed on Lin Zhao, and he sighed, "Really... too disobedient."

Lin Zhao felt a chill rushing towards her from behind. This time, she did not choose to flee, but turned around and condensed a spiritual energy shield. She activated the Phoenix Harmony and the Undying Golden Body Technique.

However, Feng Xiao's attack still landed squarely on her.

Lin Zhao was sent flying dozens of steps back in mid-air by the blow. He squinted his eyes and, after sensing that the opponent's spiritual energy flow was about 70,000 strands, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It's almost seven times my own strength. If we're talking about spiritual energy reserves, I'm definitely no match for them.

The other fighters also noticed what was happening. Cao Yunxuan and Zhang Yunhe exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat surprised. Their spiritual energy foundation was only around 60,000, and among them, only Yang Jingjing could rival Feng Xiao in terms of spiritual energy foundation.

However, Yang Jingjing was entangled by the three demonic beasts on the other side and could not spare the time to provide support.

They, Su Bai, and the giant wolf were also entangled with their respective opponents, which meant that Lin Zhao had to fight against an opponent whose cultivation was seven times higher than his own.

“It’s not too late to admit defeat now.” Feng Xiao walked towards Lin Zhao: “I still admire you. Of all the chosen ones, only you have kept disrupting our plans.”

His eyes were filled with a desire for conquest and something obscure and unspeakable.

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue and eased his injuries.

After stuffing a handful of pills into his mouth, Lin Zhao pulled out all the explosive talismans from his sleeve and poured all his spiritual power into them to activate them.

After hundreds of level-five explosive talismans and more than a dozen level-six explosive talismans were fired, even Feng Xiao felt his scalp tingle. Seeing that Lin Zhao couldn't take a step because she had exhausted her spiritual energy, he couldn't help but curse, "What a crazy woman! Aren't you afraid of being blown up yourself!"

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth, and she grinned at Feng Xiao in his field of vision.

Feng Xiao kept fleeing in directions other than the direction of the explosive talisman's attack, but no matter how fast he fled, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which the talisman locked onto the explosion.

The explosive talisman that Lin Zhao threw with his life on the line exploded around him, causing a considerable shock in the air.

Even space itself showed cracks, these dark cracks trembled and kept healing.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of the fighters below.

"My goodness." Zhang Yunhe took a deep breath: "Thank goodness I didn't provoke her."

Otherwise, with so many talismans falling on him, he would definitely be dead.

"She herself couldn't withstand the force of the explosion, could she?"

However, to hold off an opponent with 70,000 spiritual streams while only being in the early stages of the Heartbeat Realm, and even seriously injure the opponent, is a feat that cannot be described as terrifying.

As the two were talking, the changes on Lin Zhao's side also stimulated the battlefield on Yang Jingjing's side. After she pierced the head of a demon beast with her sword, wind wings unfolded behind her, and wind blades spun and roared, taking the shape of a blue tornado. As Yang Jingjing poured in spiritual power, the tornado suddenly grew larger and roared towards the other two demon beasts.

The wind, carrying the power of thunder, had already caused changes in the weather of this land.

With the power of a cultivator in the Heartbeat stage, the ability to manipulate the weather was unimaginable, demonstrating the sheer power of Yang Jingjing's attack. The other two surviving demonic beasts naturally sensed the terrifying nature of this move and whimpered as they tried to flee.

"run?"

Just when everyone thought Yang Jingjing's victory was assured, a hoarse male voice came from the air where Lin Zhao's explosive talisman had exploded.

Then, a ragged, horribly-looking man staggered out from the aftershocks of the explosion.

His face was so badly damaged that it could not be repaired in a short time. However, unlike the blood that usually appears after a person is disfigured, there were wisps of gray-black mist beneath his shattered face.

The mist flowed and roared, like hideous monsters being forcibly pressed under human skin by some means.

From his remaining relatively intact facial features, one could vaguely discern that the other party was Feng Xiao, who had been severely injured by the explosive talisman released by Lin Zhao.

At this moment, Feng Xiao had lost his previous composure, elegance, and poise. Being severely injured by Lin Zhao, who was only at the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm, was enough to enrage him.

"Let's see who dares to run. Since they don't dare to fight, they can become my nourishment." Feng Xiao coughed and stretched out a hand.

The two demonic beasts let out a miserable cry, and their massive bodies were uncontrollably hurtling towards Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao opened his hand, which transformed into countless wisps of gray mist that enveloped the two demonic beasts.

"He wants to devour their flesh and blood to strengthen himself," Su Bai warned.

Yang Jingjing's eyes turned cold, and she drew her sword and headed towards the two demonic beasts. With each step she took, the nine-layered divine palace appeared, signifying that Yang Jingjing had unleashed her trump card.

—The abilities of the Wind Clan.

With a flick of her longsword, the heavens and earth seemed to be commanded by a hurricane.

Yang Jingjing stirred up the winds and dust of heaven and earth, and her long sword unleashed streaks of sword energy, slashing and tearing at the gray mist.

"Great Wind Slash!"

The wind and waves were like knives, ravaging everything in their path.

"Descendant of the Great Wind Bird, just as annoying as your ancestors!"

A muffled groan came from Feng Xiao after the gust of wind, clearly indicating that Yang Jingjing's attack had had a significant impact on him.

However, it was not fatal.

Yang Jingjing sensed something, opened the wind wings behind her, and was about to launch another attack, but it was too late.

The gray mist condensed again into the shape of Feng Xiao, who had now regained his original elegant and handsome appearance.

His gaze fell on Yang Jingjing, filled with endless killing intent: "You should be the most promising descendant of the Great Wind Clan, right? You're only at the Heartbeat stage, yet you can already unleash the Great Wind Slash. If we really let you enter the Nascent Soul stage, you might become another great enemy of ours."

Yang Jingjing looked at him coldly, pointing her longsword: "Whether I am the strongest or not is not important, but dealing with a piece of trash like you is more than enough."

Feng laughed heartily, no longer hiding his current cultivation level. When the spiritual energy foundation of 100,000 streams of spiritual energy appeared, everyone's expression changed drastically.

“Ten thousand paths…” Zhang Yunhe’s pupils contracted.

“This level of spiritual energy is almost impossible to find in someone at the Heartbeat stage. This guy must have cheated by some means.” After dealing with the demonic beast in front of him, Cao Yunxuan went to help Zhang Yunhe.

But at this point, the battle is actually meaningless.

Killing someone at the Heartbeat stage with a foundation of 100,000 Dao spiritual streams is as easy as killing chickens.

After piercing the heart of the opposing monster, Su Bai realized the current situation and fell silent.

Unlike the despair and helplessness of the others, Yang Jingjing was shocked, but did not show any other emotions.

"Not bad courage, you have some of the spirit of your ancestors." Feng Xiao praised her.

"Then please convey these words to my ancestors. Cao Yunxuan, take your men and leave!" Yang Jingjing drew her sword and charged at him, clearly intending to fight to the death to buy the others a chance to escape.
