Suspected Ice Phoenix

The burly True Demon's expression darkened slightly. The other party was just a True Immortal, yet their tone was so arrogant, showing no regard for him at all.

"Fairy! We brothers treat you as a guest and have shown you courtesy. Don't you dare... be ungrateful." The latter part of his voice revealed a killing intent.

"Riiip!!"

Bing Lin didn't speak. The light of the Snow Ice Sword had already torn through the void, striking at the spot where they stood!

"Boom!!"

Although they were all at the same cultivation level, Bing Lin's aura was ultimately superior. Coupled with the element of surprise, they were caught completely off guard. While they didn't sustain any serious injuries, their pride was certainly wounded.

"Damn it! This damned woman, how dare she ruin my handsome face." The thin True Demon clutched his Leopard Face, his eyes filled with heartache.

Chen Tong, watching from the tree, felt his face twitch repeatedly! Damn it, this guy's narcissism is too much. He has a Leopard Face, and he calls it handsome? Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Chen Tong slapped him away!

"Slap!!"

A crisp sound echoed through the scene. The thin True Demon, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying into the dense forest without warning.

"Third Brother!!" The burly True Demon shouted, then glared at the ice shadow in front of him, his angry voice seeming to grind his teeth: "You—you—Demoness!"

The burly True Demon roared and charged at Bing Lin with his blade, brimming with killing intent. Bing Lin's expression remained unchanged. Her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, and her emotionless, icy voice transmitted: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way."

After uttering this simple sentence, and before the Beast-clothed Man behind them could react, she brandished the Snow Ice Sword, flashing a brilliant icy silhouette, and engaged the charging burly True Demon!

Clang! Bang! Boom!

The clash of weapons resounded through the heavens, accompanied by shockwaves that made the surrounding trees sway. The sword and blade lights seemed intent on tearing space apart.

Chen Tong crossed his arms and watched quietly. Then, with a thought, he appeared silently beside the Beast-clothed Man with a flash.

He glanced at the Beast-clothed Man, who was staring dumbfoundedly, either captivated by the fight or by Bing Lin. Chen Tong said calmly, "Envious?"

The Beast-clothed Man immediately snapped back to attention, looking nervously at the stranger who had appeared out of nowhere...!

"Hmph, your life is almost over, and you still have the mood to sightsee. Truly speechless."

The Beast-clothed Man: "..."

"Are... are you her companion?" the Beast-clothed Man asked, suppressing his pain. Then he seemed to recall something and added, still enduring the pain, "Are you... are you perhaps with that benefactor Fairy?"

Chen Tong didn't answer him. Meanwhile, in the midst of the fight, the second and third True Demons had also joined the fray. Three demons against one immortal, the situation immediately reversed!

"Demoness! Take this blade, Demon King Overwhelms the World!" The burly True Demon clasped his hands together. Instantly, a blade of demonic might descended, accompanied by faint lightning. A giant red blade hung in the air, as if its descent would bring about the destruction of everything in the world.

Bing Lin's beautiful eyes flickered with doubt, but it quickly vanished. After repelling the two charging True Demons with her sword, she gathered her strength and met the descending giant red blade with a single sword strike.

"Pang!!"

A powerful shockwave erupted like a tsunami, centered on her and rushing outwards!

"Ah!" The Beast-clothed Man closed his eyes in terror, awaiting his impending doom!

"Hmph, you're not dead yet, what are you afraid of!"

The shockwave buffeted the surroundings, but upon reaching Chen Tong, it was like seawater hitting a high wall; it couldn't advance any further! Chen Tong's body trembled slightly, and the shockwave instantly turned into nothingness.

The Beast-clothed Man opened his eyes and saw that he was still alive. He slowly let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Bing Lin, who had initially held the advantage, was gradually falling into a disadvantage. However, Chen Tong was not in a hurry. He knew that Bing Lin had not yet unleashed her full power, and the outcome was still uncertain.

"Bro... Brother! I know, I know you're her friend! Please... please help her."

Chen Tong glanced at the dying man, then continued to watch the fight. Suddenly, he let out a confused "Hmm" because he sensed that Bing Lin's aura was not quite right.

"Bro... Brother, consider it my plea, I beg you...!"

"Shut up!" Chen Tong hissed, then took two steps forward. He felt speechless at the Beast-clothed Man's request!

"Screee!!"

At this moment, a piercing bird cry suddenly rang out from the battlefield! The sound was clear and pleasant to the ear, carrying a faint aura of a Divine Beast. The ancient and sacred aura, as if originating from primordial times, directly suppressed all the demons to the ground, and the three demons showed expressions of terror.

Then, a massive blue bird silhouette soared from Bing Lin's body into the sky! It hovered nine feet above the ground, its arrogant posture and immense pressure proclaiming its contempt for all things. The aura emanating from it seemed to demand that all beasts submit.

"Phoenix?"

The bird silhouette, resembling a Phoenix, made Chen Tong pause in doubt for a moment, then he shook his head: "No, Phoenixes are associated with fire, and that guy above is icy blue, as if it could freeze the heavens and earth. How could it be a Phoenix."

"Kid, who did you provoke this time?" The Death Underworld Dragon, sleeping in his Sea of Consciousness, was awakened by the aura.

"Death Underworld Dragon, do you recognize the creature above?" Chen Tong released his divine sense and pointed to the sky.

"Don't recognize it. Who would recognize that thing." The Death Underworld Dragon replied from the Sea of Consciousness. Chen Tong's brow furrowed as he pondered, "Bird body, icy blue, ancient aura, Divine Beast! Could it be..." Chen Tong seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lighting up: "Ice Phoenix."

"Yes, it should be the Ice Phoenix! Although there are many ice-element Divine Beasts among the ancient Divine Beasts, one that resembles a Phoenix in form and possesses the might of a Vermilion Bird can only be the Ice Phoenix."

Chen Tong looked at Bing Lin with surprise and delight! The reason he hadn't intervened from the beginning, besides not wanting to alert Tathagata, was also an important reason: to force Bing Lin to her limit! He had thought such a breakthrough would take a long time, but it happened all at once.

"Bing Lin!" Chen Tong shouted to her, "Quick! Quickly disperse your cultivation technique. With your current cultivation, you cannot withstand the pressure of an ancient Divine Beast for an extended period."

As soon as Chen Tong's voice fell, Bing Lin seemed to awaken from a dream. The aura on her body immediately dissipated, and a sense of empty weakness surged through her entire being. She collapsed without warning!

Chen Tong flashed and appeared beside her delicate body, holding her in his arms. Before he could savor her alluring and intoxicating presence, he whispered gently, smiling slightly, "Congratulations, you've broken through your limits, and your strength has improved further."

Bing Lin's heart trembled. Since she began cultivating, she had never been in such close physical contact with any man. Even normally, men were something she avoided, yet now, being held by Chen Tong, she couldn't muster any resistance. Instead, she found herself somewhat enjoying it.
