Chapter 853 The dust has settled
Qu Shu's aura is now terrifying; he is not only at the peak of the Immortal King realm, but also a demonized peak Immortal King, far surpassing ordinary Immortal Kings.

Lin Zhaoguang felt as if his life was about to end whenever he met his gaze.

Before entering, Lin Zhao had considered countless possible difficult situations, but he never expected that Qu Shu would fall into demonic possession.

However, only this situation can explain why Qu Shu was able to defeat Huang Zhao, whose combat experience and strength were superior to her own.

Acting on his body before his mind, Lin Zhao summoned the Phoenix Edict Sword, and then without hesitation summoned the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear. The two were combined into one, and the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Edict Sword struck the vital point of the giant Heavenly Phoenix with a Bodhi Slash.

However, this attack was like scratching an itch through a boot for Tenhou.

"Having received the Ancestral Phoenix's inheritance, his physical body has actually become this strong?" Lin Zhao dodged the attack of the demonized Heavenly Phoenix, grabbed his sword, and teleported to the Heavenly Phoenix's slender neck. The Thunder Dragon Heavenly Guidance slammed down recklessly.

This actually caused some damage to Tianfeng, provoking her to abandon Huangzhao's corpse and focus solely on fighting Lin Zhao.

"Qu Shu, when did you become demonic?" Lin Zhao asked while dodging Tian Feng's attacks.

But she quickly lost interest in thinking about it.

Because the phoenix slammed her heavily to the ground with one claw.

Lin Zhao coughed up a mouthful of blood, wiped his lips, and looked up to meet Tian Feng's blood-red eyes.

"As expected, it's a beast after being corrupted by demons." Lin Zhao recalled the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Decree Sword, pierced it through his spine, and then activated the Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body, covering his entire body with the Reincarnation Nirvana Flame, catching the corrupted Heavenly Phoenix off guard.

The power of the Reincarnation Flame completely suppressed the demonic energy within the demonized Heavenly Phoenix's body and its physical form.

His foundation was naturally far superior to Lin Zhao's, but Lin Zhao unleashed all her power at once. Seeing that the Reincarnation Nirvana Flame was only suppressing it, she directly released the Golden Crow Divine Fire, opened her huge mouth, and tightly twisted the slender neck of the Heavenly Phoenix in one direction, intending to twist off the Heavenly Phoenix's head.

Sensing the killing intent, Tianfeng let out a mournful cry and dragged Lin Zhao, tumbling and rolling through the sky.

But no matter how much he struggled, Lin Zhao still held onto his neck tightly.

Such a powerful demon must not be allowed to leave!
As Lin Zhao twisted his neck, she noticed his strength waning and prepared to tear his head off.

The pale white light arrived before Lin Zhao's killing move.

The pale white light swirled twice around the demonized phoenix, and the phoenix's blood-red eyes turned into clear silver, with most of its demonic energy disappearing.

Lin Zhao also sensed this and hesitantly opened her mouth.

She transformed into human form and looked at the third person who had appeared there.

Beside her stood a black-winged warhorse, dressed in fiery red, carrying a massive white bone scythe. Behind her, a blood-red sun illuminated the woman's cold and elegant features.

Lin Zhao coughed up a mouthful of blood: "Ji Wantang, what brings you here?"

Ji Wantang looked at her disheveled appearance with disdain, then turned to Qu Shu, who had regained most of her senses, and said, "I did what you asked me to do, but where is what I wanted?"

Lin Zhao then turned to look at the person who had just recovered from being completely demonized.

I watched her with a heart full of fear.

Was the demonization of emotions also part of Qu Shu's calculations?

Qu Shu touched the deep, bone-revealing scar on her neck, glanced at Lin Zhao with a half-smile, and then said to Ji Wantang, "You arrived a little later than we agreed."

Ji Wantang helplessly spread her hands: "This isn't a place I can just barge into. Besides, if it weren't for me, Lin Zhao would have twisted your head off."

Lin Zhao: "..." She had no way to refute it.

She couldn't possibly leave something completely corrupted outside or stay here.

“If you had arrived as promised, I wouldn’t have gone through this.” Qu Shu patted his neck, and the wound on his neck instantly healed.

"So, I can't give you what we agreed on before, but I can still give you what we promised." Qu Shu stepped aside, showing Ji Wantang the corpse of Huang Zhao behind him.

"The body of a divine beast at the level of a Celestial Emperor was originally meant for you while it was still alive, but now... it's only left with a trace of life. However, its soul has been completely destroyed by me, so you can use it as you please."

Ji Wantang looked at the enormous corpse and sneered, "The soul was completely destroyed? That's not necessarily true." She raised the huge bone scythe and slashed in one direction.

A familiar scream came from that direction.

Lin Zhao and Qu Shu both looked over with some surprise.

—That was actually a fragment of Huang Zhao's divine soul.

"It has to be the ancestral spirit," Lin Zhao exclaimed. "Neither of us could sense it."

When Huang Zhao's spirit saw Ji Wantang's pair of mysterious, deep white eyes, it exclaimed in disbelief, "Ancestral spirit? How could this be... Lin Zhao has the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Ancestral spirit has also reappeared in the world..."

What she longed for but could not obtain, two juniors in the lower realm have. Doesn't that mean everything she has is a joke?

What she held onto, her pride, her unwillingness to accept defeat...

Finally, she saw the phantom of the blood phoenix behind Ji Wantang, and her soul slowly dissipated.

"Blood Phoenix, Heavenly Phoenix... Hahahaha, Your Majesty the Ancestral Phoenix, your scheming is so deep, your methods so ruthless!"

Ji Wantang withdrew the power of her soul, looked at the huge corpse of the Heavenly Phoenix, and patted the head of the black-winged warhorse beside her: "Go and eat the heart and body of that Heavenly Phoenix, and you will be able to completely get rid of the demonic blood in your body and advance to the bloodline of a divine beast."

With a neigh, Lin Zhao and Qu Shu made way for him.

As Lin Zhao watched, he asked Qu Shu, "Aren't you afraid the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will criticize you for doing this?"

Qu Shu watched as Huang Zhao's corpse quickly disappeared before her eyes, her tone indifferent: "It's normal that Huang Zhao's body was destroyed because she cooperated with evil thoughts from another world. What does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao said nothing more; this was an agreement between Qu Shu and Ji Wantang.

Compared to the outcome of her completely killing Qu Shu and letting Huang Zhao's remnant soul go, it's not entirely unacceptable for the Mo Yi warhorse to devour Huang Zhao.

Between two evils, choose the lesser. Lin Zhao calculated the time and reminded Ji Wantang, "We have a quarter of an hour before we have to leave."

Ji Wantang nodded: "It won't take that long. The Moyi Warhorse won't be able to devour the Phoenix Bone of the Heavenly Phoenix. You can take it away."

Lin Zhao let out a sound of surprise.

Qu Shu said, "Take it with you. It might be useful to the clan. We're really out of money. One tael of Heavenly Phoenix Bone can be exchanged for tens of millions of Immortal Origin Stones."

Lin Zhao: "..." What a ridiculous joke.

But she still reached out and put the Phoenix Bone away when the Black Wing Warhorse left the Phoenix Bone.

I won't sell it for money.

Huang Zhao's identity is indeed special, and an explanation still needs to be given to the clan.

As the three walked out of the cemetery, the lingering spirit of the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword remained until its last moment. After Lin Zhao appeared, it automatically entered Lin Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness to recuperate.

Ji Wantang had already put away the Black Winged Warhorse and turned to look at Qu Shu.

"Although I still don't think much of you, you're ruthless enough."

The black-winged warhorse told her that not a single piece of flesh in the Heavenly Phoenix's body was intact; it had all been shredded to pieces by the sharp sword energy.

However, the harsh statement wasn't directed at Huang Zhao, but rather at Qu Shu himself.

Even if it means becoming a demon, I will go this far...

This kind of person always makes her blood boil.

"Besides Lin Zhao, you are also my opponent."
