Chapter 14948 Xiao Lianzhu Battles the Red Water Phoenix

Yelü Xuan shifted slightly, dodging the spear.

Although this guy wasn't very fast, he was extremely agile and seemed to be able to see through Xiang Ying's attacks.

"Xiang Ying, why the rush?" Yelü Xuan's voice remained gentle. "I'm only here to kill Ling Xiao, not you. You can simply pretend you didn't see anything. Besides, doesn't Ling Xiao have a grudge against your Silent Extinction Court? Why are you so insistent on protecting him? I don't understand!"

Xiang Ying sneered and thrust out his golden spear again. This time, the spear's momentum was even more fierce, and the golden spear light transformed into countless spear shadows, enveloping Yelü Xuan within them.

"Stop talking nonsense. I know him better than you do. You don't think I'd let you pass, do you?"

Yelü Xuan sighed, raised his hand and struck out with his palm. The dark green soul power collided with the golden spear light, bursting out with a deafening roar.

“Xiang Ying, your strength is indeed above mine,” Yelü Xuan said as they fought. “But you can’t defeat me in a short time. You think you’re stopping me, but you don’t know that my task is just to hold you off. By the time you defeat me, Ling Xiao will already be a corpse.”

Xiang Ying's face darkened.

Yelü Xuan was telling the truth.

Her cultivation level was indeed higher than Yelü Xuan's, but the difference was not so great that she could kill him instantly.

With Yelü Xuan's strength, he could at least hold her off for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is enough for the assassins of the Demon Soul Clan to kill Ling Xiao ten times over.

Xiang Ying gritted her teeth and thrust her golden spear wildly, each thrust imbued with her full strength. But Yelü Xuan was like a piece of chewing gum, clinging to her relentlessly and giving her no chance to escape.

"Xiang Ying, why risk your life for an outsider?" Yelü Xuan's voice remained gentle. "What loss would it cause you if Ling Xiao died?"

Xiang Ying did not answer.

She attacked even more frantically, the golden spear light drawing dazzling arcs in the void.

But she knew... she really couldn't get away in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

In another void, a cold light streaked across the sky like a shooting star.

Xiao Lianzhu's figure darted through the void at great speed, leaving a faint, eerie green trail in her wake.

She held the Black Moon in her hand, and within the Black Moon, one could vaguely see several vengeful spirits being burned by hellfire... those were the remnants of the Black Death King's forces that she had just captured.

Her mission was not yet complete. The vengeful spirits and evil ghosts under the Black Death King's command had scattered to various places, and she needed to hunt them down and refine them one by one, leaving none behind.

But at this moment, her direction was completely different from that of pursuing the wronged souls.

She was heading in the direction where Lingxiao was.

Just now, she sensed an extremely dangerous aura approaching Ling Xiao... It was the aura of the Demon Soul Clan, and there was more than one.

Xiao Lianzhu frowned and increased her speed again.

Just then, a crimson-gold light suddenly shone in the void ahead.

At the center of the light, a figure silently floated in the void, blocking Xiao Lianzhu's path.

She was a beautiful woman, around thirty years old, wearing a crimson-gold robe, her long hair tied up high, her face cold and beautiful, with an imposing aura between her brows.

"Red Water Phoenix! I never expected it to be you!"

Xiao Lianzhu stopped abruptly, her gaze falling on the Crimson Phoenix, her pupils contracting slightly. "Please move aside, I have urgent business. Ling Xiao just helped you; you wouldn't be so quick to forget his kindness, would you?"

"There are some things I can't control. Although I can't possibly attack Ling Xiao, stopping you shouldn't be considered ungrateful," Chishui Phoenix said calmly.

She also had her own unspeakable difficulties. There were some things she didn't want to do, but she had to do them, even if they were detrimental to Ling Xiao.

Xiao Lianzhu frowned even more deeply.

She tried to bypass the Red Water Phoenix from the side, but the Red Water Phoenix's shape was like a persistent leech, always blocking her way.

"Red Water Phoenix." Xiao Lianzhu's voice grew even colder. "What do you mean by that?"

Chishui Phoenix sighed: "It's nothing, it's just that you can't go over there. As long as you don't make a move, I won't either. My duty is simply to stop you from going to rescue Lingxiao."

Xiao Lianzhu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"why?"

Chishui Phoenix was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I promised someone I would help twice."

Xiao Lianzhu's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size.

"You've sided with the Demon Soul Clan?"

Xiao Lianzhu's voice was filled with disbelief and shock.

Chishui Phoenix shook her head: "I didn't pledge allegiance to anyone. I just... agreed to help twice."

Her tone was calm, but Xiao Lianzhu could hear the complex emotions hidden within it... helplessness, resentment, and a hint of... expectation?

Xiao Lianzhu didn't know why Chishui Phoenix agreed to help the Demon Soul Clan, but she knew one thing...

The phoenix from Chishui is blocking her way to prevent her from rescuing Lingxiao.

"Get out of the way!"

Xiao Lianzhu's voice suddenly rose, and the black moon in her palm burst out with a dazzling eerie green light. Ninety-nine phantoms of Yin Gods emerged from the black moon, surrounding her and emanating a chilling Yin aura.

The phoenix in Chishui remained motionless.

She simply looked at Xiao Lianzhu quietly, her expression extremely complex.

"Xiao Lianzhu, you are no match for me." Her voice was calm. "Go back."

Xiao Lianzhu did not go back.

She made her move.

The black moon suddenly spun, and the phantoms of ninety-nine Yin Gods erupted simultaneously, carrying overwhelming Yin energy as they rushed towards the Crimson Water Phoenix. At the same time, Xiao Lianzhu's figure transformed into a streak of ghostly light, circling around from the side, attempting to break through the Crimson Water Phoenix's blockade.

Chishui Fenghuang sighed.

She raised her hand, and a ball of crimson-gold flame appeared in her palm.

The flame was small, only the size of a fist, but the temperature it contained was incredibly high.

With a gentle push, flames exploded in the void, transforming into a sea of ​​crimson-gold fire that engulfed all the phantoms of the ninety-nine Yin Gods.

The phantom of the Yin God General emitted a mournful shriek amidst the flames, its Yin energy being evaporated by the fire, and all ninety-nine phantoms were simultaneously forced back.

Xiao Lianzhu's attempt to break through from the side was also blocked by the sea of ​​fire. She was forced to retreat, and her face turned extremely pale.

"I told you, you are no match for me." Chishui Phoenix's voice remained calm.

Xiao Lianzhu gritted her teeth, and the eerie light of the black moon and the flames of the Crimson Phoenix collided fiercely in the void, unleashing a deafening roar.

The two figures moved rapidly through the void, each collision causing a violent tremor in the space.

Xiao Lianzhu's strength is no less than that of Chishui Phoenix, but unfortunately she has only recently recovered her strength, so she would still suffer some losses in a real fight.

Moreover, the flames of the Crimson Phoenix counteract the power of Yin, and Xiao Lianzhu cultivates Yin-attribute techniques. This restraint makes Xiao Lianzhu vulnerable at every turn in her battles with the Crimson Phoenix.
