Free Web NovelChapter 348: Chapter 343: Gods Attack, Bishui Primordial Phoenix
BZZZT!
In the four cardinal directions around Giant Stone City, four pillars of Spiritual Power light shot up, connecting heaven and earth!
The surging, incandescent spiritual light was so bright it was as if four suns had risen upon the surface of the earth!
A divine descent!
Four Divine Incarnations!
Moreover.
One of the pillars shimmered with a crimson-gold brilliance, and a thick, brutal, and bloody aura washed over the area like a tidal wave!
From within this pillar of light, an aura that Su Ye was extremely familiar with emanated.
—The Eternal Hunting God!
’As expected!’
Seeing this, Su Ye became even more certain that this was a trap!
And so, the next moment, Su Ye didn’t hesitate for a second, forming hand seals to cast a spell.
BZZT.
With a flash of azure light, he unleashed the Water Escape Skill.
In an instant, Su Ye’s figure moved from within Giant Stone City to the deck of the Floating Battleship, the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
"Jiaojiao, retreat to the north!"
Su Ye made his decision.
Retreat!
This was the only logical course of action.
Given Su Ye’s caution, how could he possibly be willing to fight four Divine Incarnations on a battlefield they had prepared?!
As for the Nanyaoguang Corporation cultivators inside Giant Stone City?
’Eh, the corporation and the people will remember you.’
’The death benefits are generous!’
The next moment.
BZZZT!
The hull of the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
A crystalline yellow spiritual light flashed as Magnetic Reversal activated, reducing the weight of the heavy, thousand-ton-plus hull to a negligible amount!
Then, an exoskeleton grew out from the ship’s stern, and thousands of plasma engines spewed out scorching blood-flames!
Finally, a faint cyan Gang Wind appeared around the hull, swirling endlessly and pushing the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s speed to its absolute limit!
The element of [Earth].
The element of [Blood].
The element of [Wind].
The three great elements activated simultaneously!
SWOOSH!
In an instant, the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s hull vanished from its spot.
Leaving only an afterimage behind!
WHOOSH!
A jet-black arc of light streaked across the sky!
Within moments, the Ghostly Flood Dragon had already traveled over ten miles!
A typical Tier Four being could never achieve such speed!
However.
"A cheap trick!"
"Hmph. With speed like that, you think you can escape from me?"
SCREECH!
The cry of a phoenix rang out!
An entirely ice-blue Divine Phoenix Bird, with a nearly thousand-foot wingspan, spread its wings and took flight, transforming into a streak of icy blue light!
The deity—[Jade Phoenix]!
The Bishui Primordial Phoenix, a spirit bird famous for its divine speed.
And as a deity, the Jade Phoenix was the best of the best!
Thanks to its true form, the Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s Tunneling Speed was simply unimaginable!
BZZT.
With a beat of its ice-blue wings, the void shimmered with silver light.
’Is this... a spatial technique?’
A flash of shock and doubt flickered through Su Ye’s eyes.
As the Divine Phoenix Bird’s wings beat, there were clear spatial fluctuations.
Its flapping flight was just for show!
In reality, it was moving at high speed through a series of consecutive short-range teleports!
BZZZT!
In the sky.
Two streaks of light, one ice-blue and one jet-black, chased each other like fighter jets, their tail flames intertwining!
Despite starting later, the Jade Phoenix Incarnation easily crossed a distance of nearly thirty miles and latched onto the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
’Troublesome...’
Su Ye frowned, sensing how difficult this was.
It wasn’t that he feared the Jade Phoenix Incarnation.
Aside from its speed, the threat this phoenix bird posed to him wasn’t particularly strong.
Its Spiritual Power fluctuations were only about twenty to thirty percent higher than the Rock Ridge incarnation’s (in its non-Titan form).
Tier Four Mid Stage.
If it were a one-on-one fight, Su Ye, piloting the Ghostly Flood Dragon, could defeat it within twenty rounds—without even using his Quasi-Techniques.
But it didn’t take a genius to figure out that if this phoenix bird tied him down, it would never give Su Ye a chance for a one-on-one fight.
What Su Ye would have to face was an all-out siege by four Divine Incarnations!
Even if he used all his Divine Techniques, it would still be risky.
So, he quickly made a choice.
"Overload the Array, keep accelerating!"
Su Ye tried to shake off the phoenix bird.
However, just then, seemingly having seen through Su Ye’s intentions...
SCREECH!
The Divine Phoenix Bird let out a long cry.
A dazzling, ice-blue spiritual light bloomed across its body!
’Not good!’
Su Ye’s pupils constricted. An ice spear materialized in his hand, and he hurled it in an instant.
The Whale-Hunting Spear!
Soul Suppressing!
He tried to interrupt the Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s casting.
But unfortunately, his opponent completely ignored the ice spear.
Resisted!
Against a Divine Incarnation in its normal state, with their formidable resistance, the Soul Suppressing effect of the Whale-Hunting Spear was negligible—after all, Su Ye’s realm had not yet reached Tier Four.
As for the damage, it was also within a tolerable range.
Therefore, the Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s spell activated without issue!
BZZZT!
The spiritual light flared!
It was unclear what technique it used, but the Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s speed actually increased by nearly half a notch!
In an instant!
BZZZT!
The Jade Phoenix Incarnation flew directly above the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
Su Ye looked up to see a pair of wide, elegant, ice-blue wings unfurl. A sky-blotting shadow fell, blanketing the deck of the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
And then.
A brilliant Divine Power gathered at its long beak!
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in the Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s eyes. It raised its head high, and then...
It pecked!
Su Ye’s expression turned grim, knowing there was no escape.
His thoughts flashed, connecting with Jiaojiao’s mind to control the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
On the deck, a layer of white bone instantly grew out. At almost the same time, earth-element Spiritual Qi condensed, forming a crystalline yellow shield as solid as rock over the surface!
The next moment!
The Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s sharp beak struck like a sword, viciously piercing the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s shield!
CLANG!
A loud sound of metal striking metal rang out!
Both layers of the shield were instantly punctured. The Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s long beak chiseled through the shield, pierced the deck, and stabbed deep into the ship’s hull!
However, despite this result, the Jade Phoenix Incarnation felt no joy at all!
’So tough!’
’This Floating Battleship’s shields are this strong?!’
The Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s eyes showed a hint of panic.
The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s defenses were far stronger than it had imagined!
Cracks appeared on its long beak as if it couldn’t bear the strain, making it look like a sword about to shatter!
And...
"Damned feathered beast!"
Su Ye roared in fury, his killing intent overflowing.
He knew with crystal clarity.
With the hull having taken such a heavy blow, its speed would inevitably plummet.
’Escape is no longer an option!’
In that case...
’I’ll kill one of them first!’
"Kill!"
WHOOSH!
Su Ye lowered his center of gravity and stomped his foot.
His body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow!
The silver-frosted Moonfall Halberd appeared in his hand. At almost the same instant, a tide of deep blue, like something out of an ukiyo-e print, materialized on the halberd’s blade!
Water Breathing... no, the Sea of Deep Blue!
"Hiss!"
In that moment, the Jade Phoenix Incarnation was terrified. It instinctively tried to pull its beak free and fly away!
But the problem was...
’Jiaojiao!’
Su Ye called out in his mind.
BZZZT!
Inside the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s hull, countless bone tissues grew out, forming chains that wrapped around the Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s beak, forcibly restraining the phoenix bird!
The Jade Phoenix Incarnation’s face fell in terror.
And at that moment.
The black-robed youth, wielding the Moon Blade Halberd, wreathed in a deep blue aura, his eyes filled with cold killing intent, was already upon it!
"Dammit!"
"You..."
SHHIIINNG!
The Moonfall Halberd, slashed!
