Chapter 121 Dangerous Phoenix Dance

Chapter 121: The Dangerous Feng Wu

The dense mountains and forests, filled with a bloody aura, cast a pall over this paradise-like region, with killing intent lurking everywhere.

Without a doubt, the battle for the Legacy was the most tragic and the most terrifying confrontation since entering the Secret Realm, with Prodigies vying for supremacy, resorting to all means necessary.

Divine Birds and Vicious Beasts roared here, various forbidden precious techniques were unleashed, and Secret Treasures collided, leading to a frenzy of killing.

In fact, not only Lin Fan and Yue Chan were injured, but Teng Yi, Li Yuncong, Qing Xian, Taotie, and others also bled; no one emerged completely unscathed.

The most severely wounded were the Loose Cultivators, who, lacking Life Talismans, suffered even heavier casualties.

At the same time, the indigenous inhabitants also joined in, with the appearance of several of the Secret Realm's most powerful beings: the Azure Flood Dragon, the Emerald Mantis, the Golden Crow, and the long-horned Earthworm King.

These Vicious Beasts, with one foot already in the Supreme realm, harbored deep hatred for outsiders who had stolen their precious medicines, leading to fierce battles and several bloody incidents.

Fortunately, the deeper one ventured, the stronger the suppression became, preventing them from fully unleashing their power; otherwise, everyone would have been in danger.

However, the indigenous people also coveted the Legacy, or rather, they wanted to break free from their predicament, gain hope, and leave the Small World that had suppressed their ancestors for generations.

"Be careful, don't rush to seize the Legacy. Good things come to those who wait. Preserve your strength; at worst, we can block the exit and club them one by one with a hoe!" Lin Fan said.

Yue Chan nodded; this was very much like her Junior Brother.

Lin Fan was no reckless hothead; he was well-versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War. If he were to directly engage in battle with so many people, no one could endure it, let alone take the Legacy.

After all, he wasn't lacking in secret techniques; he possessed Immortal King-level Legacies, such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, Willow God's Precious Technique, Grass Character Sword Secret, and incomplete True Dragon, True Phoenix, and Immortal Calamity Sword Technique.

Each of these far surpassed Supreme Secret Techniques. He was more interested in the insights of his predecessors, which he could use as a reference to perfect his own Dao.

This point was extremely valuable.

After Lin Fan and Yue Chan adjusted, they continued their journey, but they didn't rush to the front; that would be too conspicuous and invite attacks.

The others also set off after a brief rest, deliberately maintaining a certain distance, neither too far nor too close to each other.

Because the first battle had been too tragic; it was no exaggeration to say that blood flowed like rivers.

For a short period, before seeing the true Legacy, no one wanted to engage in a second battle.

However, people from certain Daoist traditions began to group together, forming strong alliances, with even the Primordials setting aside their arrogance.

Otherwise, relying solely on themselves, they would appear somewhat isolated and weak against the vast indigenous population, making it difficult to reach the end.

"Hey, Lotus Fairy, want to team up? We can consider ourselves to have met through battle!" Lin Fan proactively invited, calling out to Qing Xian and her brother.

The sheer pressure from the dense mass of indigenous people behind them was immense.

For example, the Fire Crow clan led by the Golden Crow; perhaps a single Fire Crow was nothing, but tens of thousands of them would make one's scalp tingle, not to mention the Purple Gold Ant clan and others.

"Little thief, watch your mouth! I'm not familiar with you at all!" Qing Xian glared at him with her beautiful eyes, which possessed a beauty that could make fish sink and wild geese fall, and flowers blush and the moon hide.

In particular, her azure robe accentuated her ethereal beauty, accompanied by wafts of lotus fragrance that were refreshing.

"Aren't you a lotus transformed? What's wrong with calling you Lotus Fairy?" Lin Fan said earnestly, with valid reasons.

Qing Xian was practically fuming; she had no words to refute him, but… why was his mouth so punchable?

"Fellow Daoist Qing Xian, don't mind my Junior Brother; he's just like that."

Yue Chan suppressed her laughter and quickly stepped in to mediate, secretly pointing at Lin Fan's head, indicating that something was different there.

"Hmph, your Butian Sect really should discipline his mouth properly, lest he gets beaten to death when he goes out in the future," Qing Xian snorted.

"Hehe, don't worry, even when you die, I'll still be living well."

Lin Fan scoffed disdainfully. With Liu Ma as his backing and Beast Milk娃 as his Junior Brother, what did he have to fear?

If he didn't cultivate diligently today, he would only be able to achieve eternal life lying down in the future, which was truly a sad state of affairs.

"Little thief, you're cursing me again. What exactly do you mean?" Qing Xian's large eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her pretty Face was etched with indignation.

It was as if she was saying: If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you!

"I don't mean anything. It's just what it means. Rather, what do you mean?" Lin Fan smiled mysteriously. For no reason, he wouldn't enlighten her.

"I don't mean anything, what do you mean…"

In the end, the two sides failed to form a team and parted unhappily, pulled apart by Yue Chan and Qing Ge respectively, because the two were too argumentative and wouldn't yield to each other.

"Junior Brother, when you look for people to team up with, can't you be more amicable and sweet-talk them?" Yue Chan complained, her eyes sparkling, exuding charm.

"Little Yue Yue, we are those who cannot be corrupted by wealth, swayed by poverty, or bent by force. We must be our true selves," Lin Fan said righteously.

Yue Chan rolled her eyes, completely dumbfounded. She thought that changing his mouth would be harder than Immortal Ascension; it was impossible in this lifetime.

"How about we form a team?"

Not far away, a golden-clad woman approached, her voice melodious and radiant, possessing a noble aura. She appeared only slightly older than the two.

She was also a beautiful woman, with thick black hair, clear eyes, a tall figure, and skin as white as snow, glowing with a rosy hue, exuding a heroic and valiant spirit.

However, when Lin Fan saw her, he reacted as if he had seen a ghost, immediately lowering his head and replying, "Sorry, we don't want to team up for now."

With that, he hurriedly pulled the bewildered Yue Chan and quickly rushed forward, as if a tigress was behind them.

"Hey, what do you mean? You were just talking about teaming up, and now you don't want to? Are you looking down on me, an Immortal?" Feng Wu shouted from behind, her tone somewhat indignant.

To think that she, with her unparalleled elegance, had been so decisively rejected the first time she took the initiative to invite someone, it was a great loss of Face, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

But as she looked at Lin Fan's back, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, muttering, "Why do you look familiar? Have I seen you somewhere before?"

"You've got the wrong person. We've never met before." Lin Fan couldn't help but quicken his pace, while also letting out a sigh of relief in his heart.

"That was close, almost lost my reputation!" he thought.

If he were recognized and people found out he had disguised himself as a girl to bathe in the Immortal Pool when he was little, he would surely die on the spot socially; even with his thick skin, he couldn't endure that.

Of course, the most crucial thing was that if it were discovered that he came from the Supreme Dojo, which everyone hated, and was secretly learning their techniques, then he would be in danger.

"Stay away, must stay away!"

Beside him, Yue Chan looked at the strange Lin Fan, very puzzled. Was Feng Wu of the Celestial Immortal Academy that terrifying?

However, she didn't ask; this Junior Brother had always been like this, always doing inexplicable things.

Ahead, the terrain gradually opened up; trees and rocks diminished, and the ground became flat, only the clouds and mist grew thicker, making it difficult to see clearly.

And everyone's speed also slowed down, the pressure on their shoulders increased sharply, like old oxen walking, stuck in a quagmire, simply unable to go fast.

"It seems this place intends to test the Physical Body strength of living beings, and those who don't meet the requirements cannot pass."
