Showdown with Phantylia (5.7K)
Jing Yuan stared blankly at Fu Xuan, her face now displaying unwavering determination.
Then Jing Yuan turned to look at the others present, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said to Fu Xuan, "Since you have this idea, then there's nothing wrong with it."
He then turned his gaze to Yanqing beside him and said, "Since Fu Qing is unwilling, then Yanqing shall serve as the commander-in-chief of the Cloud Knights this time, temporarily taking over my position as general."
Yanqing was taken aback, then stepped forward and knelt down to pay her respects to Jing Yuan.
"General! I am unwilling to do such a despicable thing!"
"General! Please don't abandon us. We are willing to go with you."
Even the Cloud Knights around them, upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, understood that Jing Yuan did not intend to lead them to punish the ultimate culprit who had plagued Luofu.
Jing Yuan looked at Yanqing, whose face was pale, and his expression was somewhat moved, but he quickly became resolute.
"Yanqing, you are mistaken. This is not a trivial matter, but a very important one."
"That's right, Senior Brother is absolutely right. Think about it, what if someone launches a sneak attack on our rear while we're fighting Phantylia? Your act of guarding this place would be a great achievement."
When Jing Yuan heard Bai Luoming speak to him, he turned his gaze to him, looking somewhat surprised, as if he was astonished that Bai Luoming would actually explain for him at this moment.
But Bai Luoming's words also made sense, so he followed suit and continued, "This... junior brother is right, guarding the rear is indeed a very important matter."
As he spoke, Jing Yuan extended a hand towards Yanqing, revealing a slight smile, and said, "This place is a vital area of Scalegorge Waterscape. Yanqing, are you willing to guard this place for me?"
In Yanqing's eyes, Jing Yuan, with his back to the sunlight, seemed to radiate light from head to toe. He grabbed Jing Yuan's hand and shouted, "What's there to be afraid of!"
Then he stood up, looked directly into Jing Yuan's eyes, and said earnestly, "General, please rest assured, I will guard the rear!"
Having said that, he strode towards the Cloud Knights's position, a hint of color appearing on his pale face.
Upon seeing Yanqing's appearance, Jing Yuan nodded to himself before turning around to look at Welt and his group who were talking.
"Distinguished guests, why don't you wait here? This is, after all, an internal matter of Luofu, so there's no need to trouble you."
Without any support, facing a Lord Ravager is suspected of merging with Ambrosial Arbor, Jing Yuan would absolutely not let go of any usable combat force.
But now, looking at the two Heavenly Generals, Feixiao Yaoguang, standing beside him, and then at Jingliu, a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart, as if he had returned to his youth.
Even if Phantylia has fused with Ambrosial Arbor, so what? He has three Heavenly Generals on his side, and even Jingliu, who is in excellent condition, is helping him. How much of Phantylia possibly make?
Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, Welt, March 7th, Dan Heng, and the others exchanged glances. Their eyes showed no sign of backing down, but were filled with fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Welt no longer hesitated and stepped forward, saying to Jing Yuan, "As Nameless, we may be somewhat lacking in strength against the Lord Ravager, but we are willing to do our part to help Luofu!"
"In that case, on behalf of Luofu, I thank you all. Once this matter is resolved, I will properly thank you for your help."
"There's no time to lose, let's hurry up and move on. It wouldn't be good if the one inside succeeded in his scheme."
"Haha, you're right, esteemed guest. That's exactly what I was thinking."
After saying that, Jing Yuan and Feixiao Yaoguang a glance and walked quickly forward, followed closely by the Astral Express Crew, Jing Jingliu, and Fu Xuan.
As for Tingyun, she naturally stayed where she was and did not participate in this final battle.
Before long, Dan Heng took the lead, guiding the group forward. He parted the waters of the Ancient Sea and released the three claws that sealed the Ambrosial Arbor.
Before long, the group saw many roots of the Ambrosial Arbor around them. Each root resembled a towering giant tree, intertwined and entwined everywhere, and these roots were even continuing to grow deeper.
Dan Heng led the group deeper and deeper, and soon the main trunk of the Ambrosial Arbor came into view.
A voice rang out at the opportune moment. "You guests arrived quite quickly, I haven't even finished getting ready yet."
"So it was here after all! Come out, Phantylia!"
The sound of March 7th resounded throughout the space, creating an echo.
Phantylia wasn't annoyed by March 7th's words, and chuckled, "Hehe, this guest is really impatient. Why don't we let them keep you company for a while?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a flash of light and shadow, and several humanoid creatures appeared in front of them.
"This is... the Buming tribe?"
Bai Luoming looked at the creatures in front of him with some doubt. At first glance, he thought these creatures were Borisin, but they were not quite the same as Borisin.
They have the appearance of the Borisin, but they have many golden branches on their bodies, which at first glance are very similar to the branches of the Ambrosial Arbor. Besides these, the most eye-catching thing is that these Borisin have some characteristics of the Vidyadhara.
Some of them have dragon horns on their heads, some are covered in dragon scales, and some even have dragon horns, dragon scales, and a complete dragon tail. If you didn't know better, you might think they were the true High Elder.
Bai Luoming turned his gaze to Dan Heng, his expression enigmatic, and said, "If I didn't know that Dan Heng Vidyadhara couldn't reproduce, I would have suspected that this was your..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dan Heng swung his spear, stirring up a surge of the Ancient Sea that sealed Bai Luoming's mouth.
"These... um... Borisin, must be the result of Phantylia's modifications."
After saying this, Dan Heng fell silent. He really hadn't expected that the Vidyadhara had fallen so low as to choose to cooperate with Borisin Phantylia.
"Hehe, as expected of the High Elder of the Vidyadhara, your guess was spot on. These are the fruits of our collaboration between your Dragon Masters and me."
Upon hearing Phantylia's words, Dan Heng seemed to have triggered some deep-seated code, and said, "I am not him..."
Having said that, he realized what was happening, and with Cloud-Piercer of his wrist, he stirred up patches of water from the Ancient Sea.
Phantylia, however, ignored everything and continued describing the monster in front of him.
"Did you see the characteristics of the Vidyadharas on them? I went through a lot of trouble to activate their bloodline."
"You!"
"Oh dear, High Elder, don't be impatient. You will naturally experience the joy of my achievements."
Phantylia finished speaking, the monsters in front of them seemed to have received some kind of command, and they all opened their eyes. Their eyes were bloodshot and devoid of any color.
Seeing this, Dan Heng Cloud-Piercer -Striking Hand, which was swirling with streams of water, intending to completely annihilate these monsters.
However, before he could even make a move, Feixiao's figure swept past him and rushed towards Borisin at lightning speed, shouting things like "Ora Ora".
In just a moment, Feixiao completely dealt with the Borisin in front of him.
She gently shook the blood off her fist and stretched her hands by interlacing her fingers.
"You're really too weak; I haven't even finished warming up yet."
Having said that, Feixiao looked defiantly at the sky and said loudly, "If what follows is only of this caliber, then you might as well die."
"Oh dear, this guest is quite impatient. But that's fine too; it's time to let you witness my supreme and extraordinary body, fused with the Abundant Abundance Wood."
As the voice faded, flames rose, followed by a golden light appearing before everyone.
A gigantic body rose from the ground and leaned against the platform where they were, revealing only its upper body and waist. The curves of its front were incredibly undulating.
Sensing the surging energy fluctuations emanating from Phantylia, Jingliu was the first to react. She immediately turned to look at Bai Luoming, who was staring directly at Phantylia with intense fighting spirit in his eyes. Only then did Jingliu turn back to continue staring intently at Phantylia with satisfaction.
Just as Jingliu withdrew his gaze from Bai Luoming, March 7th cast a suspicious look at Bai Luoming, so Bai Luoming had no choice but to continue in his previous state.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he felt March 7th look away. Phantylia's curves were indeed quite impressive; he almost lost control. He now understood those who had made mistakes towards Phantylia in the past.
You have to understand, the Phantylia that appeared before him now was far more exquisite than the animation in the game, and coupled with this incredibly surging energy fluctuation, anyone who saw it would have to give it a thumbs up.
Phantylia seemed to sense Bai Luoming's gaze and looked at him with some confusion. Most of the people present had powerful auras, but only Bai Luoming gave her a familiar feeling.
She thought it over carefully and finally realized that the fluctuations on Bai Luoming's body were somewhat similar to those of her colleagues who had been promoted a few days ago. However, the fluctuations in Bai Luoming's Path were extremely weak, so she gave up the idea and turned to the people who were waiting in a tense atmosphere and spoke softly.
"Feel honored, esteemed guests, for this is the perfect body I have condensed from the essence of the Ambrosial Arbor Divine Fruit!"
As he spoke, Phantylia raised his hand and threw out several pale golden lotus flowers. As soon as the lotus flowers landed, everyone felt waves of surging energy constantly impacting their bodies.
Fortunately, none of the people present were weak, and they easily withstood such an energy impact.
Feixiao stood calmly at the front, enduring the impact and facing Phantylia directly.
A smirk played on her lips as she loudly proclaimed to Phantylia, "How boring! If this is all you've got, you can go back to see your master!"
After saying that, Feixiao raised her hands as if to nock an arrow. Even though she didn't actually hold a bow, a beam of light appeared in her hands, radiating an extremely sharp light, pointing Phantylia.
"How interesting. I never expected to find someone as strong as you. I am truly flattered."
"Your flattery is yet to come!"
Feixiao shouted sharply and released the light arrow in his hand. The light arrow left Feixiao's hand and went straight for Phantylia's chest.
With a "poof," the light arrow pierced through Phantylia's body and became firmly embedded there, its surging energy constantly colliding and stimulating Phantylia's body.
Finally, the light arrow seemed to have met some condition, and its light burst forth. In just an instant, it opened a huge hole in Phantylia's chest, and energy poured out from the hole, eventually forming colorful light curtains.
"Phew, what a mess! You've really enraged me!"
Within the light screen, thanks to the supplies provided by the Ambrosial Arbor, Phantylia's body began to recover rapidly, and even the golden light on her clothes began to deepen.
"Wow, this is already stage two? Hagiwara is so weak."
Bai Luoming looked at Phantylia, who was rapidly entering the second stage, with disdain and mocked him.
"You have utterly enraged me! You ant!"
Phantylia saying that, Huanlong raised his hand and summoned a giant energy ball, which resembled a star, and smashed it straight towards Bai Luoming.
"To crush an ant, nothing is more suitable than a star?"
Phantylia made a harsh statement, but she didn't actually have high hopes for this attack. After all, Luofu's lineup was too impressive at the moment. Even she was secretly accumulating energy, preparing to deliver the final blow to everyone.
As expected, before the energy ball even hit the ground, the surrounding atmosphere became incredibly hot, and even the surrounding seawater began to boil. Even the roots of the surrounding Ambrosial Arbor were constantly contracting under the influence of this energy, while the golden energy continued to expand outward. In an instant, the energy ball was scratched with cracks and then shattered with a bang.
"Is that all? It's still far from enough."
Bai Luoming's voice rang out again, this time holding his sword in one hand and looking down at Phantylia with a disdainful gaze.
The only drawback was that his clothes were constantly being destroyed under the influence of this energy. His upper body clothes were completely torn apart, and only the part of his lower body clothes above the knees remained, much to the delight of the onlookers.
Yaoguang and the others secretly glanced at Bai Luoming's body, their eyes filled with desire. Unfortunately, his clothes were not completely torn, so they couldn't see everything, which inevitably left them with some regret.
As for the rest, just kidding. We haven't even eaten yet, so every extra glance counts. Others should be the ones worrying.
Sure enough, upon seeing Bai Luoming's face on March 7th, he exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward to shield himself from the prying eyes of the crowd.
"You... you're an exhibitionist?!"
Bai Luoming looked at himself, then scratched his head somewhat sheepishly with his empty hand.
"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it, that's just how it is when the burst is too strong. Next time I'll just buy a few clothes that can withstand energy bursts."
Phantylia the familiar energy, Huanlong finally confirmed Bai Luoming's identity and exclaimed in surprise, "You're that colleague who was recently promoted?!"
Why say such harsh things? I didn't fight with the spicy braised food customer.
Upon hearing this, Phantylia's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "No matter how you obtained this power, you should not stand in my way of perfect Destruction!"
Bai Luoming opened his mouth, intending to say something in his defense, but he swallowed the words back and simply raised his sword, the blade pointing at Phantylia.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you, you don't deserve to listen, prepare to die!"
"That's right, prepare to die!"
Upon hearing Bai Luoming's words, Feixiao lightly touched the ground with his toes, stepped forward to stand beside Bai Luoming, looked at Phantylia, and echoed his words.
"Even if you obtain this power, so what? You are born with an incomparably supreme and honorable body. What chance do you ants have of winning?"
Phantylia finished speaking, his energy suddenly erupted, and dazzling golden light appeared continuously, turning the surroundings golden.
"You didn't even show anything in the second stage? And now you're already in the third stage? Hagiwara, you bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Phantylia's body swayed slightly, creating ripples, but he still managed to complete the transformation.
"You smooth talker, I'd like to see what you're really made of!"
"Then keep your eyes peeled and watch!"
Bai Luoming didn't give Phantylia a chance. He exchanged a glance with Feixiao and immediately unleashed the attack that he had been preparing for half a day.
His sword flashed with light as he swung it at Phantylia. Even Feixiao mobilized the power of Feihuang, wielding an axe blade and unleashing a powerful strike at Phantylia.
Moreover, everyone present was also unleashing their strongest attacks.
At this moment Phantylia was surrounded by sword light, with streams of water, black holes, and even a Lightning-Lord, almost as big as her, wielding a sharp blade behind her.
With everyone's combined efforts, Phantylia's supposedly supreme and magnificent appearance was completely annihilated before he could even unleash a decent attack.
Phantylia's body collapsed completely and began to dissipate, leaving only flickering flames in its place, from which Phantylia's voice could be heard.
"How despicable! They even resorted to a sneak attack!"
"Same to you, Miss Phantylia is quite cunning too, she actually planned to run away early on."
That's right, what's left in place now is just a remnant of Phantylia's energy; her true form has long since fled to an unknown distance.
"Hmph, you've won this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
Phantylia finished speaking, the tiny sparks of fire completely dissipated, along with her body, which was constructed from the essence of the Ambrosial Arbor God, which also turned into specks of light and vanished.
The instant his body dissipated, streaks of fire surged forth from the spot at great speed, rushing towards all directions of Luofu before quickly vanishing into nothingness.
"This is... Heliobus?"
Yaoguang's voice was somewhat puzzled. She had thought that Phantylia would take these Heliobus with her when she left, but she didn't expect that she didn't take any of them at all.
"Haha, Jing Yuan, you're in for a lot of trouble now. Who knows how much trouble Heliobus is going to cause."
"Sigh, as long as the Ambrosial Arbor matter is resolved, Heliobus is a minor issue."
While March 7th was still curiously asking Dan Heng what Heliobus was, Xing seriously thought that Heliobus might be the ghost of Luofu.
Bai Luoming was completely unaware of any of this. He stared blankly at the Stellaron in front of him, which had landed right in front of him after Phantylia's body dissipated.
The Stellaron emitted a soft golden light, like a gemstone illuminating his face.
Bai Luoming's expression froze for a moment, and he thought of reaching out to grab the Stellaron. However, as soon as his fingertips touched the Stellaron, he felt his vision go black and his body fell forward.
Just as his body was about to fall to the ground, a dark hole appeared, swallowed him up in an instant, and then the hole closed rapidly.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Just as everyone was starting to notice, Bai Luoming vanished without a trace right before their eyes.
"Luo Ming!!"
March 7th cried out in alarm and rushed towards the spot where Bai Luoming had disappeared, but only managed to touch the Ancient Sea of the Scalegorge Waterscape.
What's going on?
Yaoguang was also extremely surprised; clearly, even she hadn't anticipated such a situation.
Her gaze swept around, and most people looked on in astonishment, clearly not expecting this to happen.
Of those present, only Jingliu remained expressionless. She had a vague idea of where Bai Luoming had gone, but she had no obligation to tell him.
Besides, even if they said it, it wouldn't make much difference; they don't have the ability to travel through time and bring Bai Luoming back.
Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, the buzzing sound of the aircraft came from above their heads, and then it hovered above them.
Herta casually jumped off the aircraft, glanced around, frowned, and said, "Hmm? Isn't that little guy here?"
The moment Jing Yuan saw the Herta, his expression darkened, and his gaze immediately turned to Jingliu. At that moment, he no longer had time to wonder how the Herta had gotten to this place.
Sure enough, the moment Jingliu saw the Herta, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and the sword in his hand emitted a sharp edge as it was pointed directly at the Herta.
Seeing Jingliu's actions, Herta remained silent for a moment. Being as clever as she was, she quickly realized why Jingliu had acted this way.
"Heh, so it's the Sword Champion Luofu. What, you want to attack this genius just because you didn't get a taste?"
Jingliu remained silent, raised his sword, and unleashed a series of sword lights at the Herta.
Herta was not afraid, and casually deployed a shield to block all of Jingliu's attacks.
"Is this all there is? Boring."
As Herta spoke, he prepared to board the aircraft and leave to continue searching for Bai Luoming, who might be hiding somewhere.
Jingliu's eyes blazed red, like laser eyes, shooting straight at the Herta. Then, she conjured dozens of ice swords, which hovered around her and were used as if they were her own arms to attack the Herta.
Seeing this, Herta became somewhat interested and began to counter Jingliu's attacks.
Seeing this, Feixiao and Yaoguang exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts from their eyes.
Yaoguang: Don't rush, observe the situation, and wait until this Sword Champion is truly unable to defeat us before making your move.
Feixiao: I understand, I'll go right now, I definitely won't let the Xianzhou down!
Yaoguang:?
Before she could react, Feixiao stomped heavily on her toes, kicking up layers of water mist, and charged straight towards the battlefield between Jingliu and Herta...
