Chapter 886: Returning to the City
Chapter 886: Returning to the City
The last round of thunderbolt came raging, Phoenix Feather Crow after surviving the first five, finally by the sixth heavenly thunderbolt split fainted.
Like a bird with broken wings, the Phoenix Feather Crow fell helplessly towards the bottom.
Seeing that it was about to fall into the Demonic Abyss, a demonic qi tugged at it, pulling it down.
Sensing that someone else had interfered with the lightning tribulation, the tribulation cloud was enraged, quickly locking onto Xu Chunniang’s figure and emitting a thick pressure.
Xu Chunniang used her demonic qi to protect the Phoenix Feather Crow, helping it dispel the residual lightning within its body and roughly combing through its injuries, before raising her eyes to look at the robbing cloud above.
“The bird I’ve worked so hard to raise can’t die like this, for the last three thunders, I’ll take its place.”
The calamity cloud suddenly condensed two divine thunderbolts, one continuing to slash down towards the Phoenix Feather Crow, while the other came towards Xu Chuniang, vowing to leave her with a profound lesson.
“How merciless.”
Pounds of majestic demonic energy rushed out from Xu Chuniang’s body, blocking above Phoenix Fei Crow.
As for her own path, she couldn’t die left or right, so she took it.
The robbery cloud expanded noiselessly, once again descending two divine thunderbolts, all together toward Xu Chuniang split down.
After the two divine thunderbolts, there were two more ……
The robberies seemed to be at war with her, not even caring about the rightful owner, bent on splitting her.
Fine, it’s not impossible to charge at her.
Xu Chuniang split a magic qi to wake up Phoenix Feather Crow, and then received the thunderbolt.
After waking up, the Phoenix Feather Crow was still confused.
However, after seeing the master take the thunderbolt for it, the Phoenix Feather Crow realized what was going on, and quickly mobilized its demonic qi around its body to recuperate from its injuries.
Xu Chuniang also didn’t know how many lightning strikes she had received.
This robbery cloud didn’t stop, looking like it wanted to exterminate her, ferocious.
She raised her hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth, and her afterglow swept a glance at the Phoenix Feather Crow.
Seeing that it came to its senses and its injuries had improved, she then dodged and vanished into the distance, leaving this area.
The robbing cloud was very unwilling, but Xu Chuniang wasn’t the main person who crossed the robberies, so it was unreasonable to leave behind the Phoenix Feather Crow that hadn’t yet finished crossing the robberies to chase after someone who was interfering with the robberies.
The robbing cloud surged up again, condensing the last two thunderbolts, ruthlessly chopping down towards the Phoenix Feather Crow.
But these two thunder, after all, by the phoenix feather crow over.
It excitedly let out a long chirp and rolled madly in the clouds, venting the joy in its heart.
After two rolls, the Phoenix Feather Crow looked in the direction where Xu Chuniang had left and flew over regardless, wanting to share its inner joy.
A devilish aura fixed its figure in place, and Xu Chunniang’s figure slowly appeared in the sky.
“Where are we going with these injuries, let’s absorb the demonic qi from the demonic cloud first.”
“Yes.”
After transmitting a demonic thought, the Phoenix Feather Crow obediently did not move, quietly absorbing the demonic qi.
The injuries caused by the lightning tribulation quickly got better, and the newborn feathers that came out became tougher and tougher.
Xu Chuniang noticed that the demonic qi absorbed by the Phoenix Feather Crow was not pure demonic qi, it was laced with some sort of gray taint similar to impurities.
She swept a glance at it and didn’t look at it any more.
Magical beasts and cultivators were inherently different.
Only after the Phoenix Feather Crow had finished absorbing the demonic qi did she go forward, touching the Phoenix Feather Crow’s newly grown beautiful feathers and slurping.
“Use these feathers of yours to create a pair of cloud armor, it should be very sturdy.”
Phoenix Feather Crow sniffed and immediately wanted to pull the feathers off her body.
“Master has the grace of recreating me, if master likes it, this body of feathers will all be given up to you.”
Since it had broken through the Harmonious Body onwards, it was finally able to control the demonic thoughts.
“No need.”
Xu Chuniang stopped its movements, “I don’t need to.” The Phoenix Feather Crow was a little lost, asking with its demonic thoughts, “Why, does master dislike its unattractive color?”
Xu Chuniang grabbed a feather and scratched it hard towards her arm.
The feather scratched across the skin, leaving a shallow white mark that slowly disappeared.
“This feather of yours isn’t even close to my demonic body, so what’s the point of having a cloud armor made of feathers like yours?”
The Phoenix Feather Crow’s eyes were filled with admiration, “Master is awesome!”
Xu Chuniang hooked her lips into a smile, accepting this compliment from it openly and leaping onto the Phoenix Feather Crow’s back.
“Let’s go, back to Dark Night City, let me see how fast you are now.”
It had been several years since she had returned to Dark Night City, and there were some things she wanted to ask Yan Yu.
It was just as well that she could stop by the outer city to see if the Scorpion Woman was still alive.
“Yes, master.”
The Phoenix Feather Crow’s figure steeply grew larger, and Xu Chuniang was as inconspicuous as a small beast in its massive frame.
This was especially true of its pair of wings, which were spacious like a large ship when fully spread out.
Xu Chuniang lay on the Phoenix Feather Crow’s back, feeling the receding clouds around her, her face showing satisfaction.
The Phoenix Feather Crow’s recluse speed was indeed fast enough, almost twice as fast as when she was in full rush.
It was not in vain that she had wasted so much time and energy to help it raise its cultivation.
The Phoenix Feather Crow flew fast and smoothly, and it only took three and a half days to rush back from the Demon Abyss to Dark Night City.
“Master, Dark Night City is here, shall we go down directly?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and instructed, “Reduce your figure to its smallest size, follow me and go down with me.”
“Yes.”
The Phoenix Feather Crow shrunk its figure as instructed, turning itself into the size of a palm, collecting its aura, and obediently flying around Xu Chuniang in several circles.
With this appearance, it looked like an ordinary black crow, where was half the might of the Phoenix Feather Crow.
Xu Chuniang glanced at it unexpectedly, allowing the black crow to stay on her shoulder, and silently fell into Dark Night City.
She sensed with her demonic thoughts and did not detect the presence of the Scorpion Lady.
Could it be that the other party had died all over again in her absence?
Xu Chuniang released her demonic thoughts and swept through the entire outer city, her brows slightly raised.
Three and a half years ago, when she had left Dark Night City, the percentage of puppets in the city was about one percent.
And now, the number of puppets in the city was rapidly surging, with an average of one puppet for every twenty cultivators.
It seemed that during the years of her absence, Yan Yu had not been idle, and was silently eating away at the entire Dark Night City.
Xu Chuniang once again released her demonic thoughts and probed towards the inner city.
However, the results once again disappointed her, searching all over the inner city, there was no sign of the Scorpion Woman.
Could it be that her fourth body had also died?
Xu Chuniang’s complexion moved slightly, and suddenly thought of something, releasing her demonic thoughts, carefully sensing those puppets that she had ignored.
Soon, she sensed a familiar fluctuation of demonic thoughts within the body of one of the puppets.
It was the Scorpion Woman, she wasn’t dead yet, but she had already been refined into a puppet, half dead.
Xu Chuniang found it interesting, so she came to the puppet.
Unfortunately, the Scorpion Lady’s divine soul didn’t remember her at all, and was very wary of her arrival.
“Who are you, and what exactly are your intentions in finding me?”
Xu Chuniang smiled as she crushed this puppet that the Scorpion Lady had parasitized and drew out her divine soul.
“You guess.”
