Chapter 1237

"Who will lend Xiaoyaozi a hand?"

On different sides of the battlefield, a series of thoughts arose.

As the battle progressed, the situation gradually became clear. Xiaoyaozi, as expected of a renowned and unfathomable Golden Immortal, single-handedly fought against two top-tier sorcerers, keeping the two peak-level opponents entangled.

However, as time went on, both sides realized that Xiaoyaozi lacked a killer move. Several times, when he had the upper hand, Senluo Wu and his companion used their life-saving techniques to escape.

Although that bronze cauldron was powerful, it was difficult to control, and its biggest drawback was its slow movement speed.

In response to this weakness, Senluo Wu and Chi Xiong found a way to deal with it and became increasingly adept at maneuvering around it.

Even so, the immense force of the bronze cauldron is virtually unstoppable; once it touches the body, an overwhelming and irresistible pressure will fall upon them.

Senluo Wu possesses the true teachings of both the Myriad Martial Saint and the Totem Ancestral Witch. Chi Xiong, being half-human and half-Gu, transcends the limits of life. When forced into a desperate situation, he unleashes various miraculous secret techniques, barely managing to survive. A counterattack is out of the question.

This has resulted in a stalemate between the highest levels of the human and witch races, with no clear victor in the short term. As for the slightly lower levels…

Little Martial Saint Zhou Xin, Eternal Rust Zhu Ruoxuan, and newly emerged Lu Zhigang and Liu Jinguo are also included in this category.

The corresponding Wu tribe is characterized by a surge of Great Wu Leaders, who are on par with the Heavenly Sects of the human race.

After the totem ancestral witch was resurrected, as the behind-the-scenes force, she propelled the power of the witch clan to increase dramatically, which was directly reflected in the number of great witch leaders multiplying several times.

Many sorcerers who were stuck at the 'Earth Sect' level easily broke through, while many up-and-coming elites made rapid progress, instantly overshadowing the accumulated strength of Bei Xuan Zhu over the years.

After Zhen Beige's death, Bei Xuanzhu still wanted revenge, but he was caught off guard when he came into contact with the Wu Clan army.

The number of the great shamans was far beyond imagination. They surged in from all directions like a tide, killing governors and prefects one after another, and wiping out all the experts.

Although these great shamans varied in strength, their advantage lay in their sheer number.

During the rise of the Little Martial Saint Zhou Xin, he used the Great Witch Chief as a whetstone, killing a group of people from weak to strong, but the strongest top experts still had a mixed record of victories and defeats.

The same situation befell Zhu Ruoxuan. As the leader of the resistance forces, their greatest enemy was the Holy King, but they were not strong enough, and even Senluo Wu and Chi Xiong were no match for them.

Therefore, the opponents matched on the battlefield are the great shamans, second only to the Senluo Shamans and the Chi Xiong.

These high-ranking shamans are the most numerous, so killing one or two won't have much of an impact; they will still have a numerical advantage.

Although he knew that if just one person joined, they could help Xiaoyaozi kill one of the Senluo Witches and turn the tide, he simply couldn't spare the manpower.

Just then, a turning point appeared.

Liu Jinguo and Lu Zhigang, two uninvited guests, fought their way through, swiftly slaughtering the hunters and high shamans who blocked their path, until the shaman leader and even the great shaman leader appeared.
It is now certain that these two, after their resurrection, are now powerful figures at the Heavenly Sect level.

Lu Zhigang's "Infant Phoenix Swallowing Dragon Technique" directly elevated the profound skill inherited from the Hundred Birds Elder to the top level of the world.

Liu Jingguo's unpredictable and elusive spear technique allowed the martial artists of the North to witness that the successor of the Zhenbei spear technique was the true inheritor of the Zhenbei fist intent.

The two attacked from different directions, causing the witch's lines to falter and witch leaders to fall one after another.

"Well!"

The mixed-blood witches, including Mu Sigui, who were not far away, couldn't help but twitch their eyelids, wondering when these two experts from the Heavenly Sect had suddenly appeared.

Among them, Mu Sigui was a top expert who had touched the Heavenly Ladder level. He could tell at a glance that the two of them were still holding back. They were definitely at the top level of the Heavenly Sect, and perhaps they were still holding back.

Such a powerful figure could not possibly remain unknown and hidden in the shadows. To achieve this, a force surpassing fifty states would be necessary. Such forces are few and far between, even across the entire world.

"Zhou Daqian!"

Suddenly, a name popped into Mu Sigui's mind: these were all people who had been acquainted with Zhou You.

Xiaoyaozi tattooed the body of Zhou Daqian's disciple and participated in the refining of the Demon Transformation Cauldron, indicating a close relationship between the two.

Liu Jinguo was Zhou Daqian's closest friend in the North, and they had shared life and death together, even venturing together into the ruins of the Myriad Martial Saint.

As for Lu Zhigang, the two became friends after a fight, and later their children even became in-laws. Tsk tsk!

Strangely, the news of the three people's 'deaths' occurred almost simultaneously, and their return dates...

A quick calculation revealed that the three returned at exactly the same time.

"interesting!"

Mu Sigui's eyes flashed, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of the truth in the afterglow, but when he tried to think about it, it became hazy and unclear.

But he was certain that today's situation was driven by a tremendous force, the target of which was none other than the Holy King of the Witch Clan.

If the other party doesn't come, fine; but once they arrive on site, the real plan will be triggered and put into action immediately.

Suddenly, an unprecedented long cry pierced the sky.

Cheng Feng's cry ripped through the clouds like silk, but unlike the previous times when it was full of fighting spirit and indomitable emotion, this time it was filled with surprise, pain and pleasure.

It was as if an immense benefit had fallen upon them, accompanied by a tremendous shock and tearing.

Before everyone's eyes, Cheng Feng's body split in two from the center, and a radiant light rose from within, like a blazing sun.

This blazing sun is clearly a transitional form for Cheng Feng as she transforms into the next stage.

"From the nascent phoenix to the fledgling phoenix, and then to the adult phoenix, this is the vision of the Elder of a Hundred Birds!"

"The Hundred Birds Elder's achievements were limited, and he was only a strong martial artist until his death. Therefore, his imagined Phoenix was at the Grandmaster level, but it is hard to say whether it is the Human Grandmaster or the Earth Grandmaster."

"But there is this brilliant and outstanding person, Lu Zhigang, who has pushed this profound skill to the point of turning decay into magic, directly cultivating it to the Phoenix Realm, a solid Heavenly Sect level."

"If you are to continue transforming, what will be the next stage: a demigod, or ascending the ladder to heaven?"

As Lu Chongsheng heard everyone speculating, he uttered an answer in his mind: "The Phoenix that Devours the World."

This was the ultimate realm of profound skill that Lu Zhigang personally revealed when they were in the vast swamp, and he even concealed from her the process of advancing to become a phoenix.

She followed Lu Zhigang to the battlefield of Beixuan Prefecture and witnessed Cheng Feng sweeping across the land, with no one able to withstand her. If she were to continue to transform and improve, the terror of the next realm would be unimaginable.

The ball of light hummed and trembled, and Lu Zhigang was seen using one fist and one palm, employing all the techniques of the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique, as he retreated towards the ball of light.

The moment the palm overlapped with the ball of light, a sound like glass cracking rang out.

In an instant, the next stage of transformation and rebirth appeared before everyone's eyes.

The sheer radiance emanating from its form caused the eyeballs of all the shamans within a thousand miles to vaporize and vanish instantly, leaving behind dark, hollow eye sockets. Only the chief shamans escaped unscathed, but their eyeballs were burned red, and waves of stinging pain shot straight to the depths of their minds.
