Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

"Now drip your blood onto the stone tablet to open the gates of Phoenix Ancient City," the white-haired woman said.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Yu Luoning dared not resort to any tricks.

She slowly walked forward and stood before the huge stone monument.

On this precipice, only the howling wind can be heard.

Yu Luoning stretched out her hand, drew blood from her fingertip, and dripped it onto the phoenix totem prominent in the center of the stone tablet.

The air was still for a moment, and in less than a breath, the heavens and earth seemed to emit a buzzing sound, as if a mysterious force had revived.

Above the cliff, the barrier that had been shrouded in thick clouds revealed its true form: a giant gate lying across the sky trembled slightly.

The moment the door moved, a phantom of a phoenix flew out from inside, emitting a dazzling golden-red light.

The crowd stood still, not daring to make any rash moves even after the strange phenomenon outside the door had passed.

Jiang Huang sensed the lingering light of an ancient array within the door, and raised her hand to signal her subordinates not to rush in.

Her eyes were icy cold as she used soul-controlling magic to manipulate Mo Fei's body, leading him towards the door.

Seeing this, Yu Luoning became anxious.

But right now, she can't even protect herself.

As Mo Fei's stiff body passed by Yu Luoning, a slight tremor ran through the depths of his empty eye sockets.

Yu Luoning took in this scene.

He thought to himself that even though he was constantly controlled by puppetry, this kid probably still retained a faint will of his own in his subconscious.

As the two drew closer and were about to pass each other, Mo Fei's fingers twitched slightly beneath his sleeve, and he managed to forcefully slip a golden talisman into Yu Luoning's palm.

"Sister Ning...run."

Yu Luoning felt a lump in her throat.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the powerful foreign warriors lurking behind her, knowing that their small movements couldn't possibly escape their notice.

Yu Luoning didn't take the talisman. Instead, she slapped it back and stuck the life-saving talisman onto Mo Fei with lightning speed.

He then shielded Mo Fei with his body, giving him a chance to survive.

With a loud boom, golden talisman array patterns erupted, instantly enveloping Mo Fei's entire body.

Just as he was about to disappear into thin air, Jiang Huang on the other side reacted immediately.

She moved with incredible speed; strands of white hair coalesced into sharp blades that could cut through iron like mud, stabbing towards the two of them.

In a flash, Yu Luoning twisted her waist and stood directly in front of Mo Fei.

The overwhelming barrage of white blades pierced straight through her body.

Yu Luoning's lips curled into a crazed sneer, "The Flower-Transplanting Technique, activate!"

This is a high-level spell that she copied from Bai Rongling.

It can be used three times in a lifetime.

The first time, she killed an elder of the Pan family.

The second time, he killed the white-haired woman.

To everyone's astonishment, the power that should have pierced through her body was instead reflected back through the law of cause and effect, piercing through Jiang Huang instead.

With a soft "pfft," blood exploded in the air.

Jiang Huangyu's pale eyes shifted slightly downwards as she watched her white-haired blade pierce back into the ground, her pupils trembling slightly.

Fortunately, when she saw Yu Luoning standing in front of Mo Fei, she changed the point of her blade, avoiding vital parts of his body.

Therefore, when the spell rebounded, it directly avoided her vital points.

Even so, she could not accept being hurt by a junior whose cultivation level was far lower than hers.

Jiang Huang chanted the incantation and used her healing technique to stop the bleeding.

In less than a breath's time, Mo Fei's figure vanished from the spot.

"That damned vixen, how dare she harm my lord!"

Upon seeing Jiang Huang injured, the loyal old Taoist priest Zong Shu rushed forward with eyes wide open in fury.

Jiang Huang clutched her wound and warned in a cold voice, "Be careful, this demoness's magic is extremely strange; it can reflect damage."

"A rebound?" Uncle Zong grinned maliciously and said viciously, "Then I'll have to see that too. I won't kill her, I'll just break the tendons in her limbs and make her wish she were dead."

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zong approached Yu Luoning like a ghost, and with a palm strike carrying poisonous energy, Yu Luoning's body flew backward. Before she even landed, Uncle Zong approached again.

With a sharp crack, the sound of bones breaking rang out, and Yu Luoning's right leg was broken.

Yu Luoning was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, and her vision blurred.

If she hadn't died, all these people would have been dead today.

Yu Luoning clenched her teeth tightly, desperately suppressing the urge to use the substitution technique one last time.

This old man was extremely careful in his actions, using only torture-inducing techniques.

The ancient city of Fenghuang has been opened, but no one knows what lies inside. Her phoenix bloodline is still useful.

Since the other party won't actually kill her, there's no need to waste such a powerful move as "switching flowers and grafting trees".

With a thunderous roar, the gates of Fenghuang Ancient Town were finally opened completely.

A burst of radiant light erupted, and a resonance from her bloodline caused the Phoenix True Blood within Yu Luoning's body to roar wildly.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes. Ignoring her injuries, she forcefully activated the spiritual energy around her and used the Transcendental Technique to leave.

Prior to this, she had already unleashed two magical treasures: the black sword and the Immortal Binding Rope wrapped around it.

Under the astonished gazes of Zong Shu and the others, a black sword, piercing through the light, hurtled towards them.

Everyone could tell that this black sword was of extraordinary origin, and they were all eager to seize it.

Everyone attacked at the same time, only to find that the black sword was not aimed at them at all.

The sword trembled, and the Immortal Binding Rope on the sword suddenly broke off from the hilt, its length increasing dramatically. It swept across like a golden snake, blocking the crowd.

Jiang Huang's gaze was also drawn to the two magical treasures in the air.

"An ancient immortal artifact?"

A hint of joy clearly appeared in her eyes. As she watched Yu Luoning's disappearing figure, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes. This woman must have far too many good things on her.

How can ants be worthy of possessing such things?

Jiang Huang struck out with her palm, attempting to shatter Yu Luoning's teleportation technique and knock him down from mid-air.

But at this moment, Phoenix Ancient City seemed to be strongly pulling Yu Luoning inward.

Jiang Huang struck again from behind, and the combined force sent Yu Luoning crashing into Phoenix Ancient City.

There is still turbulence at the boundary of space.

Yu Luoning was already injured, and this time she was truly badly hurt.

Jiang Huang, who was outside, was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to actually send the person inside, and even send them further and further away.

Jiang Huang: "..."

Yu Luoning drifted in the turbulent waters for an unknown amount of time. With her last breath, she used a teleportation technique to create a spatial barrier.

The next moment, her body seemed to fall into an endless abyss, plummeting endlessly.

Is this her doomed situation?

The shadow of death loomed over my heart.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, she has another chance to be reborn. However, Yu Luoning is not sure whether her cultivation and magical treasures will be restored after the rebirth.

If not, she would be devastated. How could someone who has been wealthy accept falling back into poverty overnight?

Most importantly, there is also Lianfei in her sea of ​​consciousness.

If she dies, will Lianfei die with her, or will she take the opportunity to break through the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl and take over her body? If her body is taken over, can she still be reborn?

Yu Luoning was unsure, but she knew she absolutely could not create any hidden dangers for herself.

In a flash, Yu Luoning pressed his forehead tightly.
