Chapter 675: Chapter 671: Final Battle (29)
Xiao Qi was a smart man, and the most basic quality of a smart man is to think deeply, to infer the bigger picture from a single clue.
Although he didn’t know why Tang Yao was in such a hurry to go to Beast Valley, he was sure that the young and outstanding member of the Tang n’s task must be rted to the mythical beasts within the valley.
Combining this with Tang Yao’s statement that Young n Leader Mi Shen would know about the Grand Formation of South Ridge, Xiao Qi naturally had the idea of helping the Tang n disrupt the formation.
After all, he had just heard from Mi Shen that Tang Zhi was already prepared for a counterattack on South Ridge. If there was arge formation blocking their way, this attack was unlikely to go smoothly.
Based on this thinking, Xiao Qi naturally shared his ideas with the six elders and former n leader, Xiao Baihe, who apanied him, and received unanimous approval.
This was why they would suddenly appear here. Although everyone on the scene respected Xiao Qi as the Young n Leader, he knew who was really making the decisions for the n in Xiao Jinlin’s absence. So, when he heard Xiao Baihe’s orders, he obeyed as an ordinary nsman would.
The group adjusted their direction and flew toward the south.
Even though the reactions of the Xiao Family members were swift, they stillgged far behindpared to the earlier departed group led by Michen.
The difference in their strength was clearly revealed at this moment. With the presence of the Monument Dragon Diagram, the warriors of the Xiao n never felt they were weaker than the Tang and Mi ns in terms of offensive power.
However, because they were too focused on the training of the Monument Dragon Diagram, the warriors of the Xiao n were far behind the Tang and the Mi ns in other training areas such as physical skills, body techniques, and Spirit Art.
Thus, the initial gap of about five miles only widened during the process of flying, and Michen and his team were continuously transmitting information about the Xiao n’s betrayal throughout the area.
The speed of the Mi n’s Wind Media was faster than that of an average warrior, so before the Xiao n could get closer to North Mountain, they saw the desperate wall formation, with Michen standing inside, sneering at the Xiao n members.
Seeing that they were just one step away from breaking into the main peak of South Ridge, but having to admit defeat, Xiao Baihe had no choice but to find another way. After exchanging cold nces with Michen, he ordered his nsmen, “We’re leaving!”
The initial n to use the soul-searching information to open the Grand Formation of South Ridge for the Tang n had failed. His current priority was to consider how to break out of the mountain and unite with the Tang n, as he knew that the Mi n, having received the information of Xiao n’s betrayal, would certainly attack.
Although he and the six elders of the Xiao n were not afraid, they had to consider the other ordinary warriors of the Xiao n. After all, the Monument Dragon Diagram of the Xiao n was known for its offense. When it came to defense, it could only be described as satisfactory.
Just as Xiao Baihe had expected, the Wind Media tower was in utter chaos. When everyone heard of the Xiao n’s betrayal, the fear in their hearts almost made them faint.
The usually calm Mi Jin could not help but break into a cold sweat. If the Xiao n warriors managed to break into the hintend of South Ridge, thebined attack of the Xiao n and the Monument Dragon Diagram would cause unimaginable damage to the allied forces.
After all, without considering long-term battles, in terms of short-term resistance, apart from a few people in the Tang and Mi ns, the Xiao n warriors were the most fierce.
…
Above the Fire Swamp
Four Luan Birds were attacking the me-winged Crane. Under the allure of the fruit of the Fire Tree, these four Luan Fengs, who had the bloodline of mythical beasts, had long lost their sense of hierarchy. They would dare to bite even in front of the real Phoenix King, let alone the Feather Tribe’s ancestor currently in front of them.
Although the Crane King was fierce, he was at his limit facing off against two opponents. Suddenly up against four, he was clearly struggling. After a short while, several injuries appeared on his wings, which angered him greatly. He swung his ming wings continuously, covering the entire sky with spiritual fire, intending to burn this group of Luan Fengs who dared to challenge their superior.
Although mythical beasts were not known for their intelligence, they had a strong concept of hierarchy. It was rare for lower-ranking beasts to challenge their superiors. Due to their innate connection with the soul, beasts could sense the gap in their ranks with just their instincts.
In ancient times, there were three hundred and sixty types of the Feather Tribe, with the Phoenix as their leader.
Below the Phoenix were the Cranes, who were considered the ancestors of the Feather Tribe.
That was why the Crane King, when faced with the challenge of the four ns, showed a murderous rage.
Compared to the respectful and humble etiquette of the Human Race, the Demon Race strictly adhered to thew of the jungle where the strong were the kings. Those in higher positions did not allow lower ones to step into their territory, let alone fight for the fruits of the divine tree.
And Xiao Jinlin, who had been long forgotten by people, had already concealed his aura and quietlynded on the Fire Tree, next to the charcoal-covered man.
The once handsome young man was now in a dreadful state, with burning scars all over his body. The robust body of a warrior had subjected Tang Yao to great pain. Underneath his blistered skin was oozing blood, dried and stuck to his body.
His facial features had been burned by the mes; his eyes had been scorched blind, leaving only two smaller and onerger hole on his face – his nostrils and mouth.
His spiritual power had long been exhausted, but he still wedged himself into a branch, rhythmically tapping the Phoenix King Drum in his arms.
“If the Tang n has a future heir like this, why worry about the n’s prosperity!” Xiao Jinlin sighed internally. The shadow of a dragon soared behind him, wrapping up Tang Yao and the Phoenix King Drum who had already lost consciousness.
The Five-Color Divine Dragon tore a hole in the sky-blocking feathers. The two, havingpleted their mission, prepared to leave thescivious Beast Valley.
With the infusion of countless bird and beast’s blood, the Fire Phoenix Tree grew taller and slowly lifted the fruit closer to the battlefield of the ferocious beasts in the sky.
By this time, the me-winged Crane already had numerous injuries. It could deal with the four well-coordinated Luan Birds that had been strengthened by secret art if it was in the Fire Swamp, but now it could only hold on painfully.
As the me-winged Crane had to block more and more attacks with its ming wings, its energy also became increasingly weak. After knocking back two Luan Birds with its wings once more, the Crane King turned around and flew towards the crown of the over 200-yard-tall Fire Tree.
The me-winged Crane, knowing it couldn’t handle the four Luan Birds for now, decided to eat the ripe fruit first and then clean up afterwards.
But how could the other two Luan Birds allow it to easily pick the fruit? They followed closely behind the Crane King andnded on the Fire Tree, brewing a ferocious spirit technique in their mouths, nning tond a heavy blow on the Crane King.
However, the moment the Crane King stepped onto the Fire Tree, it felt a bloodline connection with the tree below. It felt like a weary bird finding its nest, a wanderer finding his way home.
He could control the Fire Tree under his feet as easily as he did with the Fire Swamp!
As he spread his ming wings, the incandescent leaves of the Fire Tree fell one after another, swirling around the Crane King and starting a firestorm.
The mes devoured all the life on the Fire Tree. After all, to ordinary birds, the me was the deadliest spiritual power. So when the firestorm rose, all they could do was to flee for their lives.
