The Heavenly Phoenix looked at the illusory mountains before her, a disdainful expression on her face, her enormous eyes filled with mockery. The force in her hand increased even further.
"Pfft!"
The illusory mountain that Baili conjured was easily torn apart in mid-air by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's claw, turning back into fighting energy and dissipating. Baili seemed to have anticipated that his attack would be ineffective.
"Yuluo!"
Just as the demon phoenix tore through the mountain peak that day, Baili continued playing his music.
The melodious sounds of the zither, like flowing water amidst towering mountains, transformed into wondrous notes that swirled across the sky.
Like raindrops, they surrounded Baili. As the strings vibrated, these musical notes transformed into sharp sword arrows, shooting towards the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
The densely packed musical notes fell upon the body of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix like sharp swords.
Baili went all out. Although the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was two minor realms stronger than Baili, he could not be completely immune to such a close attack.
However, the pain emanating from his body only fueled the ferocity within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. With a roar, the massive fleshy wings on his back enveloped him, shielding him from Baili's attack.
"Roar!"
Then, with a furious roar, terrifying battle aura erupted from his body, and an invisible wave spread out from his fleshy wings.
The musical notes in mid-air, impacted by this, slowly dissipated into the world.
Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Phoenix's body trembled violently, and its entire body instantly transformed into a blur, its massive form closing in on the white-robed figure in the blink of an eye.
"laugh!"
In addition, a whooshing sound rang out as two enormous claws tore down towards Baili's body from the left and right.
A ferocious smile appeared on the massive head of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, as if it could see the cruel scene of Baili's fragile body being torn into pieces by its sharp claws.
Baili frowned slightly as she felt the attack from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. She wasn't confident that she could completely block this attack.
However, seeing the attacks coming from the left and right, Baili's figure blurred, and he instantly shot into the air.
In the blink of an eye, they were out of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's attack range.
However, seeing Baili escape the range of its claws, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, a subtle smile appeared on its face.
"Roar!"
The next moment, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's enormous mouth suddenly opened, and a terrifying energy wave roared out from its mouth, rushing towards Baili in mid-air.
In mid-air, Baili felt the attack from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He originally thought he had outmaneuvered the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and successfully dodged its attack, but he didn't expect that all his actions seemed to be within the Phoenix's expectations.
Seeing the energy beam shooting straight at his face, Baili frowned, but there was no time to dodge.
In his haste, Baili could only raise his seven-stringed zither and place it in front of him to block the path of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's attack.
"boom!"
A terrifying energy surge struck the seven-stringed lyre.
As Baili channeled his fighting spirit into the Seven-Stringed Zither, Baili and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix were locked in a standoff.
The seven-stringed zither in Baili's hand was crafted from extremely rare materials. Otherwise, an ordinary weapon would probably have instantly shattered into a pile of scrap metal after being attacked by two Dou Zun experts.
Even though the seven-stringed zither was made from meteorite iron from outer space, it was still unable to withstand the attacks of the two people and made a series of cracking sounds.
Baili's face also showed a look of strain. In terms of strength and realm, she was already two realms behind the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Now, facing the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's attack, she was naturally no match for it.
"boom!"
Finally, in the battle against the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Baili was still at a disadvantage. The attack launched by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix broke through the blockade of the Seven-Stringed Zither and crashed into Baili's body.
Baili was sent flying backwards, and under the force of the powerful impact, he was slammed into the ground.
As Baili landed on the ground, the sand and dust scattered, concealing her figure within them.
"Master!"
On the Lingtian warship, Nalan Yanran watched Baili's defeat and anxiously spoke, her eyes carefully searching for Baili's figure in the sand and dust, but she found nothing.
Looking at the Heavenly Demon Phoenix lurking in mid-air, she dared not step out of the Lingtian Battlefield.
"Hmph! To oppose my Heavenly Phoenix Clan, you have already committed suicide!"
The Heavenly Phoenix roared, and as it turned its head, a gale swept past, and the dust on the ground completely dissipated with its roar, revealing Baili's figure.
Amidst the ruins on the ground, Baili lay pale-faced, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. He glared at the Heavenly Phoenix in mid-air, his teeth clenched, a look of resentment on his face.
"hateful......."
As she gazed at the Heavenly Phoenix in mid-air, Baili's expression grew increasingly grim, and her emotions were soon revealed on her face.
Her gentle and calm gaze was instantly replaced by rage and murderous intent.
His aura had become much more chilling, and his gaze toward the Heavenly Demon Phoenix revealed a sinister, predatory light.
"Master......"
Nalan Yanran sensed the changes in Baili and a look of unease crossed her face. After all, she had only seen her teacher like this once before...
"Beasts!"
On the ground beneath his fingertips, Baili looked up at the sky in mid-air, his face filled with anger and rage.
With a flick of his wrist, the seven-stringed zither disappeared, replaced by a purple jade flute about the length of an arm.
With the acquisition of the Purple Jade Flute, Baili's aura changed drastically, her original gentleness replaced by a fierce killing intent.
Just as Baili was about to continue fighting the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the sea of fire in mid-air suddenly erupted with a burst of scorching energy that spread to the surrounding sky.
The terrifying energy fluctuations instantly attracted the attention of Baili and Tianyaohuang, who turned around and looked up at the sky.
As the terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from the sea of fire in mid-air, both of them had a premonition that the battle within the sea of fire should have ended.
Nalan Yanran, who was waiting aboard the Lingtian warship, also turned her gaze toward the sea of fire.
She also wanted to know if Xiao Fan, who was facing three Dou Zun experts alone, had been able to defeat them in such a short time.
(Nalan Yanran did not leave the valley, was unaware of the great battle, and was unclear about Xiao Fan's combat strength.)
Immediately, under the watchful eyes of the three, the sea of fire in mid-air exploded, and clusters of flames fell from the sky, with flames flying everywhere, looking extremely dazzling.
As the flames exploded, the original effect of sealing off the space seemed to have been lost, and within the three people's sight, several dark figures appeared and disappeared in the sea of fire.
"Could it be that we've lost?"
Looking at the figures within the shadows of the sea of fire, Baili and Nalan Yanran's expressions changed slightly.
The explosion of the inferno, and the few figures that were now vaguely emerging from within it, filled them with a sense of foreboding.
Similarly, the only remaining Heavenly Demon Phoenix looked at the few phantoms emerging from the sea of fire, but her face did not show a smile; instead, there was a hint of doubt on her face.
If these figures appeared inside the exploding sea of fire, then the one who survived should have been the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
However, this Heavenly Phoenix could not sense the presence of its companions within the sea of fire.
As the sea of fire gradually subsided, the phantom within it finally revealed its true form.
"This... Xiao Fan?!"
When they finally saw the figures and faces in the sea of fire, all three of them were filled with surprise.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the three, three Xiao Fans slowly stepped out and merged back into one in mid-air.
"The winner is actually Xiao Fan..."
Nalan Yanran stared at the result in mid-air and covered her mouth in disbelief.
It should be noted that Xiao Fan was facing three peak Dou Zun experts all by himself, yet he ended the battle before his teacher.
Chapter 311 Master and Disciple Meet
As the two illusory figures of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusions merged back into Xiao Fan's body, Xiao Fan's aura returned to its peak state. Opening his eyes, he saw that the three people below were all staring at him.
Xiao Fan smiled brightly, lowered his head, looked down at the three people watching him, and waved to greet them.
Seeing Xiao Fan's aura showing no signs of weakening and almost no difference from his peak condition, Baili and Nalan Yanran both showed surprise.
The two of them knew that Xiao Fan was very strong, and even had expected it, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.
These are three powerful individuals at the late stage of Dou Zun.
However, they were all wiped out by Xiao Fan in such a short time.
In that instant, in Baili and Nalan Yanran's hearts, Xiao Fan's terrifying power rose several levels once again.
As for the remaining Heavenly Demon Phoenix, it was stunned and stood there for a moment when it saw Xiao Fan in mid-air.
The fact that Xiao Fan walked out of the sea of fire intact means that the other three had already perished at his hands.
Even with the three of them working together, they were no match for Xiao Fan, so it was naturally impossible for him to withstand Xiao Fan alone.
In an instant, the powerful Heavenly Demon Phoenix felt utterly hopeless, as if she had already foreseen her miserable end.
But at that moment, his gaze fell upon Baili on the ground and Nalan Yanran inside the Lingtian warship.
A renewed will to survive rose within him.
After all, both women had appeared with Xiao Fan. If he could capture either of them and use them to blackmail Xiao Fan, he might still have a chance to survive.
As for a one-on-one fight with Xiao Fan...
