Chapter 39 -31 The Struggle for Phoenix Marrow_1

Luo Hongyan stared blankly into the water, unable to believe the truth she had sensed.

Pang Jian was out of the question.

Even Hong Tai, a cultivator at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, or even a stronger individual from a higher realm, would have absolutely no chance of successfully refining the Phoenix Marrow!

At most, they could merge with the Phoenix Marrow and maintain their Spiritual Intelligence from being extinguished.

But that would just be a higher level of what’s known as a “Heavenly Phoenix Guard.”

The young man named Pang Jian, according to Luo Hongyan’s knowledge, was just a beginner at the Qi Refinement Realm.

“Strange…”

Although she had many doubts, the moment she sensed Pang Jian carrying the aura of the Heaven Phoenix, and felt that Pang Jian had refined a drop of Phoenix Marrow, she immediately regarded Pang Jian as a person not to be overlooked.

“Huff!”

As the drop of Phoenix Marrow inside the Phoenix Bone saw Pang Jian approaching on the snake and Ouyang Duanhai getting closer, it hurriedly darted upwards.

Ouyang Duanhai, completely transformed, had finally become a Heavenly Phoenix Guard, morphing into a blood-colored phoenix with a bizarre form.

It clearly sensed that although the snake-riding youth had a drop of Phoenix Marrow in him, he was not of its kind.

However, it could refine the power within Pang Jian, turning it into a nutrient to strengthen itself.

The Spiritually Intelligent Heavenly Phoenix Guard hesitated for a moment, but in the end, it chose to seize the Phoenix Marrow first.

So, beneath the Black Water Pool, there were now two beings vying for the Phoenix Marrow.

Pang Jian and a Heavenly Phoenix Guard rushed toward the top of the Phoenix Bone at the same time, and the transformed Heavenly Phoenix Guard seemed to have also experienced a breakthrough in strength.

But its speed still fell short compared to Pang Jian, who rode the “Dark Giant Python.”

“Just as I thought, it’s coming for me.”

Luo Hongyan sighed, knowing that the drop of Phoenix Marrow, having no other choice, finally decided to invade Ning Yao’s heart and turn Ning Yao into a Heavenly Phoenix Guard as well.

If it weren’t for Ouyang Duanhai, or for Pang Jian and his “Dark Giant Python,” she would have gladly absorbed the drop of Phoenix Marrow.

But now…

Watching the Phoenix Marrow swiftly coming toward her, while in the waters to either side of the Phoenix Bone, the snake-riding youth and a Heavenly Phoenix Guard closely followed in pursuit.

“Forget it.”

Luo Hongyan shook her head bitterly and, with the body occupied by her, Ning Yao, she shot into the air like an arrow released from its bow.

Under the dim Sky Curtain, she flew high from the top of the Phoenix Bone, shooting straight into the sky.

“Zoom!”

A cluster of amber-colored, liquid mystical light followed, shooting straight at her.

In the silent deep valley, a strange phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

The amber light wondrously transformed, becoming a radiantly crystalline phoenix bird that shot fiercely at “Ning Yao.”

“Splash!”

A black and white patterned python burst forth from the water’s surface, its snake eyes exhibiting a crazed color, fearlessly pouncing at the Phoenix Marrow.

A bizarre scene emerged in the half-space above the Black Water Pool.

“Ning Yao” shot straight toward the sky; below her, the crystalline phoenix bird chased with glowing radiance, and underneath, a giant python suddenly leapt out.

On the python’s head, a tall youth suddenly tore open the fabric covering his chest, revealing a blue-green lotus leaf nestled over his heart, readying himself to receive the invasion of the Phoenix Marrow.

Below water, a streak of blood shadow continued to surge toward the surface.

Around the Black Water Pool, only the Spirit Evils suspended in the air gazed blankly at this spectacle with vacant eyes.

They seemed confused, as did the snake-riding youth who also appeared somewhat bewildered.

—Pang Jian didn’t understand why the python suddenly went mad.

But since the struggle had already begun, he couldn’t care about that much anymore. He tried to capture the so-called Phoenix Marrow with the lotus leaf in the manner Jin Yang had conceived.

At that moment, two different sensations arose in his chest.

The clumsily shaped bronze door pendant began to grow hotter and hotter, the heat making his chest feel as if it were on fire.

The lotus leaf that he had snatched from Jin Yang, on the other hand, was becoming colder and colder, enabling him to maintain clarity and calmness in such a tense moment.

Above the waters, “Ning Yao,” who was rushing upwards, slowly halted her momentum, her gaze continuously focused below.

She was Luo Hongyan.

If anything went wrong behind her, she could leave Ning Yao’s body in the form of a Soul Spirit at any moment.

As a Soul Body, she could fly instantaneously to a place several miles away.

Keenly watching the Phoenix Marrow, and also Pang Jian who was facing the impact of the Phoenix Marrow, she prepared for the worst.

She would abandon Ning Yao’s body, no longer covet the Phoenix Marrow, and escape lightly and ethereally as a Soul Spirit.

Another strange phoenix cry abruptly resonated!

The drop of Phoenix Marrow that had left the Phoenix Bone, as if attracted by a magnetic force or as if its wings were restrained, suddenly flew backward toward Pang Jian’s chest!

Pang Jian immediately opened his chest, displaying the lush and icy lotus leaf ostentatiously on the outside, ready for the Phoenix Marrow’s voluntary capture.

“It’s really coming!”

He suddenly felt nervous, thinking that if Jin Yang was wrong, he would become a monster like Ouyang Duanhai.

“Zoom!”

The crystalline phoenix bird, in the form of amber light, indeed shot over, but it didn’t settle on the lotus leaf which Jin Yang had treasured.

Instead, it disappeared directly into Pang Jian’s bronze door pendant on his chest!

This time, Pang Jian, fully focused and waiting, clearly saw where the drop of Phoenix Marrow went.

From his angle, he couldn’t see that the bronze door had quietly opened a crack when the Phoenix Marrow slipped in.

He only knew that the Phoenix Marrow in the form of an Ice Crystal Phoenix Bird had vanished inside the bronze medallion.

But “Ning Yao,” who had been intently watching the Phoenix Marrow, saw clearly that the bronze pendant he wore suddenly opened a door.

The Phoenix Marrow was instantaneously sucked in by that door!

At the same time, the temperature of the bronze medallion rapidly dropped, as did the temperature of the “Dark Giant Python,” which had been maddened by frenzy.

The “Dark Giant Python,” having overcome its fear, realized upon recovering its senses that it had leaped out of the Black Water Pool.

Still propelled by inertia and rising into the sky, it, with the body of the “Black and White King Python,” gazed at the dim Sky Curtain, looking at a scene vastly different from that of the Fifth Realm.

Fear suddenly filled its eyes as it thought of the terrible being that had set restrictions on the Black Water Pool.

That person had warned it that the moment it left the Black Water Pool would be the moment of its death.

In mid-air, it awkwardly twisted its body, desperately trying to fall back into the pool.

It knew all too well that the person’s warning was far from a joke.

It firmly believed the threat would be fulfilled, and it had to escape back to the Black Water Pool as quickly as possible to avoid imminent death.

“Splash!”

Ouyang Duanhai, transformed into a Heavenly Phoenix Guard, burst out of the water!

Before leaving the Black Water Pool, he had seen everything that had happened and knew that Pang Jian had obtained the most valuable Phoenix Marrow.

As he saw the python carrying Pang Jian towards the Black Water Pool, in the instant he fully emerged from the water, he abandoned his corporeal shell.

A strange blood-red phoenix bird, with feathers like dripping blood, flew out from the possessed body.

As it left that body, Ouyang Duanhai’s already lifeless body was blown into powder by the wind.

The blood-red phoenix bird kept contracting, shooting towards Pang Jian’s heart like a streak of blood.

Beneath the water, it didn’t see the drop of Phoenix Marrow ultimately disappearing into the bronze door of the pendant on Pang Jian’s chest.

It still thought that the stream of Phoenix Marrow had entered Pang Jian’s heart, considering him as a target for possession.

“Whoosh!”

The blood-colored phoenix bird, transformed from the Heavenly Phoenix Guard, also suddenly vanished into the bronze door after the Phoenix Marrow.

“Another one?”

Pang Jian looked down at his chest in complete astonishment.

“Plunk!”

The python plunged back into the Black Water Pool.

“The Dark Giant Python,” upon discovering it was still alive after entering the water, suddenly realized that it had left the Black Water Pool in the body of the “Black and White King Python,” and that, in a strict sense, it was already dead.

— Yet it was still terrified of that person’s prohibition!

“Go to the place where we first met.”

Suddenly, it heard Pang Jian command deep within its heart, and it also saw Hong Tai striking toward the surface of the pool.

It chose to obey Pang Jian, not waiting for Hong Tai to adjust his path, and the man and snake once again rushed towards the bottom of the pool.

“Plunk!”

“Ning Yao” also fell from the sky into the water.

Hong Tai, at last, broke through the water surface.

He was gritting his teeth in fury, helplessly watching as the man and snake quickly escaped back to the bottom of the pool.

— He had been busy for nothing again!

“Ning Family girl, you’re still alive?”

Hong Tai, unleashing his rage on nothing, glared at “Ning Yao,” who was also floating on the water surface, his eyes flashing with ferocity: “All my people are dead, you shouldn’t be alive.”

Luo Hongyan, who had lost the Phoenix Marrow, looked at the useless Hong Tai with disdain and said coldly, “A bunch of old immortals, played by a wet-behind-the-ears kid, it’s utterly laughable.”

“Even the Spirit Beast you’ve raised has been taken by someone else; how do you still have the face to speak to me?”

After mocking him twice, she headed towards the edge of the pool, unwilling to stay in the water any longer.

“What kind of Divine Object could that bronze door-shaped pendant be?”

She kept thinking in her head, as the bronze door pendant had shown its miraculous abilities twice, she didn’t dare to venture deeper into the water.

“The Dark Giant Python,” aware of her presence, was about to fight the dangerous creature on the verge of transforming into a dragon at the bottom of the Fifth Realm’s water; she was not absolutely sure she could handle it.

More importantly, after Pang Jian swallowed the Phoenix Marrow through the medallion and the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Guard, there was no sign of disorientation in his consciousness.

It was unlikely that she would find an opportunity to subdue Pang Jian at the bottom of the pool and wrest the Phoenix Marrow from his hands.

“If you seek death yourself, then you can’t blame me for it.”

Hong Tai, knowing he could not catch up with the “Black and White King Python” underwater, slowly approached the person he thought was “Ning Yao,” intending to silence “Ning Yao” there to prevent his disgraceful setback from spreading.

If word got out, not only would the seven major families ridicule him, but he would also lose face before Dark Ghost.

“How could I blame you? I wasn’t planning to let you live anyway.”

Luo Hongyan, now ashore, had a hint of coldness in her eyes.

“Spirit Evils,” like Roman, began to appear one by one from the corner of the pool, howling in the air above the water surface, each appearing behind her: “Having cleansed your Marrow and reached the Qi Refining Realm, you should be more useful after you’ve turned into a Spirit Evil.”

“You’re not Ning Yao!”

Hong Tai suddenly realized.

“Since you come from Dark Ghost, I want to see how many secrets of this Lower Realm organization are hidden in your soul.” As Luo Hongyan pondered this, one of the Spirit Evils flew out of the water and burrowed into Hong Tai’s body.

Hong Tai felt a chill all over, suddenly experiencing disordered consciousness, and he could no longer discern who he was.
