The Bonfire Burns Out

"Sing!"

The next second, a firebird bathed in blood-red flames flew out of the well.

The burning flames seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy in the air.

The bamboo forest, which should have been cool, suddenly became stuffy and hot.

The dead leaves on the ground even spontaneously combusted.

"Is this it?!"

Sweat beaded on Han Yurou's forehead as she warily watched the firebird, which resembled the legendary Jingwei.

Despite its sacred appearance, the flames were extremely alluring and malevolent.

"Ants?"

The firebird, wreathed in malevolent flames, narrowed its eyes as it looked down at Han Yurou.

Although she could break the seal on her own by the afternoon, she really didn't want to stay in that place for even a second longer!

"Countless years have passed, and an ant is still an ant!"

Firebird glanced at Han Yurou's strength, a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes.

In her heart, she believed that only the strongest human could confront her.

So a beautiful misunderstanding arose.

In Firebird's mind, Han Yurou was considered a top human powerhouse.

"Very well, let your blood proclaim my return! Ants, prepare to face the wrath of the gods!"

The bird beeped, spread its wings, and soared into the sky.

As its wings spread, flames spread, making it look like a small sun.

Buzz~

Dozens of fireballs, like meteorites, scattered and rushed towards Han Yurou.

"Bagua - Empty Palm!"

Below, Han Yurou's pupils narrowed sharply, and she raised her hand, delivering a slap.

Bang!

The powerful shockwave shattered the fireball, but the power of a single palm strike is ultimately limited.

After breaking a few, there were still more than a dozen left.

Subconsciously, Han Yurou wanted to leave.

But the firebird high in the sky saw right through the former's idea.

"Sing!"

With a soft murmur, it spun around in the sky, allowing the flames to evenly cover its entire body.

It then transformed into a musket and shot towards Han Yurou.

"Oops!"

Seeing the muskets hurtling towards her, Han Yurou's pupils contracted, and she instinctively raised her hands to protect her head, closing her eyes tightly.

She hasn't even been in a relationship yet, she doesn't want to die so soon!

Just when Han Yurou thought she was going to die here, a familiar and calm voice rang in her ear.

"Shake Heaven and Earth!"

The orange-red Elemental power transformed directly into a shield that opened in the void.

Bang!

The firebird slammed heavily into the shield, but could not advance any further.

An attack that seems capable of penetrating everything can only falter before 'Rock Solid'.

"Is this why you didn't let me come with you first?" Ling Yuan slowly withdrew his hand, turned his head, and asked Han Yurou, who had her arms crossed.

Han Yurou opened her eyes, looked at the familiar figure in front of her, and said in disbelief, "Ling Yuan, how come you..."

"Ants!"

Shaking its head, Firebird stared at Ling Yuan with eyes full of rage.

"Wow, such a big turkey?"

Hearing the sound, Ling Yuan turned his head and looked at the firebird in the sky with surprise.

"How dare you! I am not a turkey, I am Evil Phoenix!" the firebird said angrily.

"It's okay, they're all pretty much the same, even if you pluck the feathers, they'll still look the same."

Ling Yuan waved his hand casually, but then he paused.

He remembered that Xiao Shi had said something was missing before.

Now I remember.

It's Fu Hua's personal A Ji!

Xiao Shi without A Ji is incomplete!

"Great, it came to me without any effort."

As he spoke, Ling Yuan's gaze towards the firebird across from him changed.

Firebird: "..."

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like the way the person across from her was looking at her was eyeing prey...

Chapter 143 The Campfire Extinguished

"You ant, who are you?"

The firebird stood in the void, looking at Ling Yuan who had suddenly appeared, its fiery eyes filled with fear.

Anyone who could withstand her full-force attack was definitely not an ordinary person!

"Turkey, I have a question for you." Ling Yuan turned his head and looked at the firebird in the sky.

"Who's the turkey? I'm not a turkey!" the firebird roared.

"Whatever. To me, even if you pluck the feathers, you're still roast chicken, unless you can turn into roast duck." Ling Yuan said calmly, arms crossed.

Firebird was stunned.

Having lived as a bird for many years, this was the first time she had heard such a comparison.

Indeed, humans are a species that needs to be domesticated!

Ling Yuan's voice rang out again. "I'll give you a choice: obediently submit. After all, I'd feel bad giving someone a plucked bird."

"Don't underestimate me! Although your strength is indeed formidable, it's just that—formidable!"

"Tsk." Ling Yuan clicked his tongue.

"Ling Yuan, leave quickly, this bird is dangerous!" Han Yurou said hurriedly after regaining her senses.

"Don't worry, don't panic."

Ling Yuan patted Han Yurou on the shoulder.

He turned around, looked up at the sky, and reached out his hand to the firebird in the sky.

When he opened his pupils again, his originally dark eyes had turned orange-red.

A terrifying suction force erupted.

"Chirp!"

The firebird let out a strange cry and then its entire body shot uncontrollably toward Ling Yuan.

"Bang!"

It then slammed heavily onto the elemental shield.

A large number of feathers fell to the ground and instantly turned into flames and spontaneously combusted.

The bird's head, on the other hand, is attached firmly to the elemental shield in the form of a side profile.

Ling Yuan: "..."

Looking at the slightly drooling NIAO head, Ling Yuan felt a bit disgusted.

Luckily, he forgot to remove the elemental wall, otherwise what if he had been holding it and spitting all over his face?

The next second, to Han Yurou's bewildered expression, the firebird was propelled away by a repulsive force.

Bang!

It smashed several bamboo stalks, which fell heavily to the ground.

"Ling, Ling Yuan?"

Han Yurou stared blankly at Ling Yuan, who had resolved the situation with ease.

For the first time in my life, I experienced doubt.

Her sticker is probably fake...

"Are you convinced now?"

With his arms crossed, Ling Yuan walked over quietly.

"Who... who are you?!" the firebird, coughing up blood, asked in horror.

How could there be such a powerful being among humans?!

Shouldn't they all be a bunch of food waiting for her to slaughter?

"Hmm, looks like you're still not convinced. This is troublesome. By the way, would you like to try the Punishment of Eating Rocks?" Ling Yuan suddenly asked.

"Salt...?"

The firebird froze.

Could it be that the person in front of her wants to choke her to death?

"It's okay, you'll like it."

Ling Yuan closed his eyes and slightly raised one hand towards the void.

Then his pupils suddenly opened.

"The Eight Pillars of Jingjiang!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The moment Ling Yuan finished speaking, eight rock pillars shot out from the ground.

The firebird was enveloped in eight directions.

The next second, the elements resonated with each other...

(Zhongli + Abedo, those who know, know)

Watching the firebird leaping back and forth between the eight pillars, Ling Yuan turned around.

He walked towards Han Yurou.

"Ling, Ling Yuan, your strength." Looking at Ling Yuan who was walking over, the latter said blankly.

Ling Yuan sighed heavily, looked at the sky, and said in a long voice, "In this world, demons and gods have risen up together. Although I know the suffering of the common people, I have been kicked out of the ranks. How can I say that it is difficult?"

Han Yurou: "0.0"

"Ling Yuan, we're not playing an online game."

Ling Yuan: "..."

"Okay, actually I have a system."

"Hey? Ling Yuan, you have a system too?"
