Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 387 - 383: Three-legged Golden Crow Phantom
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, smirking as he quickened his pace and reached out once more towards the flames.
The flames suddenly flared up, as if trying to force Xia Feng back with their intensity.
Xia Feng was not frightened but pleased; just the burst of flames in that instant was enough to prove the strength of this Secret Treasure.
The great dao aura carried by the flames even forced Xia Feng, who was wielding the Heaven-Burying Sword, to take a few steps back.
As the Golden Silk Armor was about to jump up and down in an attempt to flee, Xia Feng flicked his fingers on the blade of the Heaven-Burying Sword, producing a crisp sword cry.
"Quick, quickly communicate with your kind and tell it to submit to me."
The Sword Spirit let out a soft cry, its immature voice showing signs of distress: "Do you think I’m all-powerful?"
"I can communicate with it a little, but it’s a level higher than me. I’m just a Middle Grade Secret Treasure, while it’s an Upper Grade Secret Treasure."
"If I casually try to speak to it, I’d be burned to ashes. I still want to live a few more years!"
It chirped incessantly, refusing to let the Heaven-Burying Sword reach forward.
But after speaking, the flames seemed attracted by it, moving closer to Xia Feng.
Then, flames erupted everywhere, and the Three-legged Golden Crow engraved on the Golden Silk Armor seemed to materialize.
A fiery Three-legged Golden Crow detached from the armor, expanded in the wind, causing the surrounding cave to widen.
However, this was better than taking the Three-legged Golden Crow out of the peak to fight and attracting a crowd of covetous people, which would be more troublesome.
Xia Feng initially thought the Three-legged Golden Crow would be a wise creature like the Sword Spirit and could engage in simple communication, avoiding much hassle.
But when the Golden Crow’s emotionless golden eyes looked over, Xia Feng couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
The Golden Crow was merely an illusion created by the powerful Golden Silk Armor, almost devoid of spiritual wisdom.
It was almost incomparable to the intelligent Sword Spirit type Secret Treasures.
The Sword Spirit seemed to sense his thoughts and said smugly: "Hmph, I’m very powerful, don’t always underestimate me."
Xia Feng’s lips twitched into a brief smile before smoothing back, squinting at the Three-legged Golden Crow.
The Three-legged Golden Crow looked at Xia Feng warily, with vigilance and aggression, making Xia Feng appear particularly helpless.
He extended his hand, conjuring a mass of dense Great Dao of Li Huo in his palm, as if trying to entice it.
"Although my Great Dao of Li Huo doesn’t contain the Three-Flavored True Flame, it should still taste pretty good. Want to try?"
Xia Feng offered the flame in a low voice, and the Three-legged Golden Crow glanced at it before lowering its proud head and taking a deep breath.
The flame was directly swallowed by the Three-legged Golden Crow, merging with its own flames.
After devouring the flame, the Three-legged Golden Crow, instead of calming as Xia Feng expected, let out a piercing cry.
Then its entire body turned into a sharp arrow, charging straight at Xia Feng’s chest.
The Golden Silk Armor was on the Golden Crow’s body, fitting perfectly without a gap.
Xia Feng’s expression darkened; he raised the Heaven-Burying Sword upright, intending to cleave the Three-legged Golden Crow.
The Sword Spirit, feeling the surrounding Great Dao of Li Huo, couldn’t help but exclaim: "Ah, ah, ah, this is an Upper Grade Secret Treasure; you’re crazy to use me to block..."
"Eh, it doesn’t seem that hot, um... must be thanks to the Ancient Divine Artifact."
"Hehe, it’s my first time residing in an Ancient Divine Artifact, it really is amazing."
Like a chatterbox, it babbled on in its immature voice, making Xia Feng more and more irritated as he listened.
Especially since the Three-legged Golden Crow across was an elemental being composed entirely of flames, there was no particularly effective way to extinguish it completely.
No matter how many times Xia Feng cleaved the Three-legged Golden Crow with the Heaven-Burying Sword, it instantly restored to its unscathed state.
Xia Feng pressed his lips tightly, with the Great Dao of Li Huo on his body starting to fluctuate slightly, almost showing signs of turning towards the Great Dao of Extreme Ice.
The Sword Spirit’s immature voice rang out again: "No, no, no, no, you can’t use the Great Dao of Extreme Ice."
"You have to use the Great Dao of Li Huo to conquer it, make it submit to you."
"Just like I was originally drawn by your dominance."
Xia Feng’s face twitched slightly, ignoring the second half of the Sword Spirit’s words, contemplating how to make the Three-legged Golden Crow submit. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Seeing its emotionless golden eyes full of arrogance and disdain, Xia Feng felt the possibility of conquering the Three-legged Golden Crow with the Great Dao of Li Huo was nearly impossible.
The aura of the Heaven-Burying Sword in his palm began to climb steadily.
The Three-legged Golden Crow on the opposite side seemed to sense something, its golden eyes narrowing slightly, watching Xia Feng’s direction with vigilance, as if ready to attack at any time.
The Sword Spirit continued persuading Xia Feng to use the Great Dao of Li Huo, but Xia Feng knew that if he couldn’t take a different approach, the Golden Silk Armor would remain shelved here.
After all, with the Three-legged Golden Crow having consumed so many flames, it was particularly formidable within the Great Dao of Li Huo. If anything, Xia Feng felt it could possess the combat power of a Celestial Tier Martial God.
The Sword Spirit’s tone also became grave.
"It’s really troublesome, can’t you just use your brain to conquer..."
Before it could finish, Xia Feng was already swinging the Heaven-Burying Sword horizontally at the Three-legged Golden Crow.
After dozens of rounds back and forth, Xia Tianming, waiting outside, showed some impatience in his expression.
With his brows furrowed, he glanced into the depths of the mountain peak, seemingly perplexed why his grandson, with his monstrous talent, was taking so long.
Just then, a mournful cry of an indistinguishable bird echoed from the mountain, followed by the entire peak trembling once more.
Rocks continuously fell from the peak, but the fiery golden light that shrouded the vicinity, causing self-immolation, vanished.
Xia Tianming seemed thoughtful, mumbling: "So, is this the second noticeable event caused by subduing the Secret Treasure?"
He glanced around, noting that none of the fleeing core disciples of the Four Great Clans dared to bring anyone here to trouble Xia Feng.
So Xia Tianming concealed himself within the void, waiting for Xia Feng to fully comprehend the Golden Silk Armor’s abilities before seeking the next Secret Treasure.
