Chapter 214: Chapter 175 I Can’t Do It! I Can’t Hold On Anymore! [Seeking Recommendation Tickets!]
That morning.
Chen Jichuan, Yi Rang, and Yangg Biqing gathered together.
Yi Rang was clad in Black Armor, looking quite robust despite his age. He said to Chen Jichuan and Yangg Biqing, "The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird is extremely fierce and very fast. Let’s handle it according to the plan we’ve discussed over the past few days and then adapt to the situation as it arises."
"Mm."
Chen Jichuan nodded seriously, indicating his understanding.
Yangg Biqing also nodded slightly.
After reminding them, Yi Rang didn’t say much more.
In the past ten days, they had prepared enough, and what followed would depend on real-time changes.
"Let’s go!"
The three glanced at each other, leaped into the sky, and headed straight for Zuzhou Island.
...
On Zuzhou Island.
In the volcanic crater.
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird was perched in a nest constructed of fire wutong wood, breathing fire and surrounded by a gentle breeze.
Below, two Little Golden Pengs were playing and frolicking in the lava, occasionally splashing scorching magma.
Beside the nest, on a ground as smooth as jade, grew a few stalks of Spirit Grass with leaves resembling bulrush, about three to four feet tall, gently swaying in the heat and breeze, exuding vibrant life.
It was the ’Undying Grass’!
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird sniffed the fragrance of the Undying Grass contentedly.
Suddenly.
This Void Nether Divine Beast snapped its eyes open and let out a shrill cry towards the sky. Its voice was filled with murderous intent, warning, and ferocity, a declaration of its territory, forbidding intruders.
The aura it released was enough to send ordinary Demon Beasts scurrying away in fright.
But this time, it didn’t work.
"Screech!"
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird sensed the persistent, provocative presence of some auras outside, and immediately became furious.
Its wings flapped once.
The five stalks of Undying Grass were instantly engulfed in flames, along with the Jade Field they grew upon, tumbling into the magma. The two Little Golden Pengs playing each grabbed a corner and dived deep into the magma, disappearing from sight.
Only then did the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird rise into the sky.
"Here it comes!"
Yi Rang shouted to remind Chen Jichuan and Yangg Biqing.
Then he thrusted his spear, launching an attack towards the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird from above.
With one spear thrust——
"Eight-direction Falling!"
"Leaving Origin Burst!"
With left hand holding the spear, the right hand waved, creating a flourish from the spear tip, striking towards the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird from eight different points.
Woosh!
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird flapped its wings, creating fierce winds, which formed into a tornado, shattering the spear’s flower-like thrusts. However, the explosive force of Yi Rang’s spear also shattered the wind into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the man and the beast exchanged dozens of rounds.
Yi Rang initially could fight with ease, but soon was driven back repeatedly, clearly unable to hold on much longer.
"What a terrifying Demon Beast!"
Chen Jichuan observed from the side, marveling silently in his heart.
However, this was no time for watching from the sidelines; seeing Yi Rang was now at a distinct disadvantage, about to be overwhelmed.
"Let’s move!"
Chen Jichuan and Yangg Biqing exchanged a glance and leaped forward together, with one wielding a sword and the other brandishing a spear, pitting themselves on either side of the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird to give Yi Rang some breathing room.
Chen Jichuan unleashed his full potential. All the Swordsmanship he had honed over centuries was fierce and agile, capable of breaking through any defense.
His skill was even slightly superior to Yi Rang’s.
"What impressive Swordsmanship!"
"No wonder he could slay the Middle Stage Void Huangfu Yu!"
Yangg Biqing also exerted all his power and, seeing the interweaving sword lights from the opponent, mused in his heart.
Chen Jichuan ignored everything else.
Focused solely on the fierce battle with the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird, using this formidable enemy to temper his Swordsmanship. At times when he could hardly support himself, he’d rotate and switch places with Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing.
In the midst of fighting, they were also leading the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird away from Zuzhou Island.
The three Void individuals battling a Void Nether Beast!
The battle was animated and dynamic, moving several miles during each engagement. Under the deliberate provocation and guidance of Chen Jichuan and the others, the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird was gradually nearing the edge of Zuzhou Island’s range.
But this was still not enough.
Zuzhou Island spans five hundred miles, which for the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird could be covered with a single swoop, taking only a few minutes. This distance, this amount of time, wasn’t enough for Zhang Zong and others to defeat the Little Golden Peng and snatch the Undying Grass.
"We need to go farther!"
The three understood this well; therefore, standing in three different positions, they utilized attacks and the visual and sensory dissonances caused by their distances, continually drawing the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird farther away from Zuzhou Island. freēnovelkiss.com
Nevertheless, the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird, after all, was a Void Nether Divine Beast.
Initially oblivious, it soon realized, as it was about to leave Zuzhou Island——
"Screech!"
With a sharp cry, its golden eyes swept across Zuzhou Island, seemingly discovering something, inducing a fit of rage.
Bang bang bang!
Its wings flapped, stirring wind and fire.
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird suddenly erupted with full force, looking to break through the blockade of Chen Jichuan and the others, intending to rip the ants who sneaked onto the island to shreds, burning them to ashes.
"Block it!"
"Move!"
Yi Rang realized the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird’s intentions and shouted sharply.
The former words directed to Chen Jichuan and Yangg Biqing, while the latter were aimed at Zhang Zong and others who had just snuck onto Zuzhou Island.
The sound resounded.
"We’ve been exposed!"
"Act fast!"
"Quick quick quick!"
On the island, Zhang Zong and the others instantly knew their whereabouts had been discovered. Not hiding any longer, they stepped forth and ran directly towards the volcanic crater.
"Screech!"
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird became increasingly furious at the sight.
Circling repeatedly, it stirred flames and fierce winds. Yet, the flames were scattered by the spinning spear, and the winds were cleaved by the sharp sword, failing to harm the three at all.
This Void Nether Divine Beast watched and intensified its wing flapping, growing stronger and more rapid. Simultaneously, as it fanned flames and wind——
Bam bam bam!
Time and again, it came close, attacking with its wings and sharp claws.
Recognizing Yangg Biqing as the weakest among the three, it directed most attacks at him.
Although Chen Jichuan and Yi Rang frequently distracted, intercepting, and protecting, they were sometimes negligent. The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird breached Yangg Biqing’s guard, and he barely managed to protect his head as its claws swiped across his body——
Rip!
Yangg Biqing, who should have been cleaved in half, had his garments torn apart, revealing a Golden Silkworm Armor beneath that withstood the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird’s strike.
"Golden Silkworm Armor?"
"Spring Silkworm Sect still possesses such treasures!"
Chen Jichuan was envious, finally understanding why a mere Middle Stage Void like Yangg Biqing dared to provoke a Void Nether Divine Beast.
With such Divine Armor protecting him, not fearing sharp weapons and mitigating the strike’s force, Yangg Biqing could withstand a few attacks from the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird with his capabilities.
Given this time, the Undying Grass was already in hand.
Bam bam bam!
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird evidently also realized the issue, knowing that it would be temporarily difficult to kill Yangg Biqing.
Thus, it switched targets.
Attacking Yi Rang instead.
Its wings beat rapidly; however, its fierce assault was once again futile.
The Black Armor on Yi Rang turned out to be even more formidable than Yangg Biqing’s Golden Silkworm Armor. The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird’s claws left not a single mark and got the force reduced by eighty to ninety percent, posing minimal threat to Yi Rang.
Unless it could smash Yi Rang’s head in a single strike, it was tough to pose any substantial threat to him.
"Woooo!~"
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird was extremely furious.
Glancing at Zuzhou Island, it saw the small ants had already leaped into the volcanic crater, growing more anxious, and swiftly shifted its focus to Chen Jichuan.
Woosh woosh woosh!
Whipping up fierce winds and spreading flames.
This time, the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird launched a full offensive against Chen Jichuan. Chen Jichuan took his Swordsmanship into real combat at the peak, surrounded by Sword Qi, forming a Protective Sword Shield around himself.
Firmly withstanding the ferocious assaults.
Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing, aiming to buy Zhang Zong and the others time, dared not allow the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird to genuinely kill Chen Jichuan. They too fought desperately, continually attacking the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird to relieve pressure from Chen Jichuan.
The battle in the heavens was earth-shattering.
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird was inching towards the volcanic crater of Zuzhou Island.
Time passed.
Chen Jichuan and the others exerted all their strength, gradually accumulating injuries.
Yangg Biqing was covered in wounds, spitting blood. Golden Silkworm Armor might be formidable, able to defend against claws and dispel force; however, one was a Void Nether Divine Beast while the other merely a Middle Stage Void, revealing a vast chasm. Yangg Biqing had taken several hits, causing his internal organs to shift, sustaining severe injuries.
Yi Rang was also struggling.
Even with Black Armor protection, the sheer number of attacks endured caused his body to become increasingly challenging to support.
Chen Jichuan fared even worse, with tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and innumerable wounds, his face ghostly pale.
Meanwhile, the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird’s attacks continued ceaselessly, most landing on him.
Without Golden Silkworm Armor.
No full-body Black Armor.
Chen Jichuan solely relied on his Sword Shield to withstand, truly appearing somewhat ragged.
Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing, originally willing to defend against some attacks for Chen Jichuan, gradually reduced their assistance as time passed, and their injuries also worsened.
"The Undying Grass should be reachable soon!"
Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing sustained themselves arduously while closely observing the volcanic crater on Zuzhou Island, noticing the martial energy within was also violently clashing.
They communicated silently, preparing for retreat, and gradually lessened their support to Chen Jichuan.
But just then——
"It’s no good!"
"I can’t hold on any longer!"
Chen Jichuan cried, swung his sword, and turned to run.
Plop!
Diving headfirst into the deep sea, and vanished without a trace.
"..."
"..."
Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing were both stunned by the sudden situation.
Just as the Undying Grass was nearly in hand, at this crucial moment, the main force fled?!
"Does he not want the Undying Grass anymore?"
"Did we go too far?!"
Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing were baffled, even reflecting on whether they should have helped a bit more earlier.
However, the situation didn’t allow them much thought.
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird, without Chen Jichuan’s obstruction, broke through straight towards the volcanic crater, reaching in a blink.
"Block it!"
"Don’t let it return!"
They were panic-stricken.
If the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird returned, Zhang Zong and the others might hardly survive, let alone steal the Undying Grass.
"*Damn* Chen Shan!"
Yangg Biqing cursed, dashing after the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird.
Yi Rang was both angry and anxious, showing extreme speed, diving down.
But the timing of Chen Jichuan’s retreat was impeccable.
He had been right there by the volcanic crater on Zuzhou Island, unexpectedly without his blockade, the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird marched straight in, with such rapidity that Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing found catching up impossible.
By the time they reached the crater.
Inside echoed the furious cries of the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird, followed by the screams and shrieks from Zhang Zong and others. After a brief moment of calm, a burst of flame soared skyward, from which emerged the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird soaring majestically across the sky.
"It’s over!"
Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing’s faces turned pale!
...
Beyond Zuzhou Island.
Deep within the sea.
Chen Jichuan, dignified in appearance, proceeded with a Gang Step, chanting a spell, "Revered ancestors one to five, spirit gods of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. This disciple silently chants the spell in their heart: Cook the beans, burn the fennel, the beans relate in decay; born from the same root, why scorn each other so deeply; If unclear, then unclear, unachievable is unachievable, transform the sap into clear water, a basin full, the disciple commands thousands of spirits, the myriad, become effective immediately, respectfully request the Southern Dipper Six Stars, the Beidou Seven Stars, invoking the Pharaoh Immortal Master’s decree urgently and promptly."
The spell incited the mountains to tremble.
On Zuzhou Island.
Just as Yi Rang and Yangg Biqing were about to flee, suddenly a raging fire within them burned, turning their insides into chaos, resembling a bowl of mushy liquid, neither tangible nor clear.
Power difficult to harness, mind muddled.
They fell into stupor momentarily.
Bang!
The Great Sun Golden Peng Bird charged in fury, with one wingbeat, smashing the Heavenly Spirits of the two Spring Silkworm Sect Void individuals to bits.
Rumble rumble rumble!
External fire ignited internal fire, incinerating both to ash and dust, leaving only a Black Armor, a Golden Silkworm Armor, and two spears dropping from the sky.
Having burned the two to death, the Great Sun Golden Peng Bird still couldn’t quell its anger, circling Zuzhou Island’s perimeter once more, scanning both above and below with its eyes, before reluctantly returning to its nest in the volcanic crater.
Over the following months.
Fierce winds and flames ravaged the land, gradually calming down after months passed.
