Mysterious Divine Eagle, Resurrection!

"I am Dugu Qiubai, here to ask the immortal fairy for a duel."

If he had previously thought the immortal of this divine cult was merely a martial arts expert, seeing her act just now left him with no room for doubt.

However, the more this was the case, the stronger the fighting spirit in his eyes became.

The fate of Golden Wheel Dharma King had not caused him to change his expression in the slightest.

"A duel? That can be arranged, but I have a condition."

Little Dragon Girl nodded in agreement.

"What condition? As long as I can fulfill it, I will agree to anything."

Dugu Qiubai said with some excitement, unable to wait any longer.

"If you lose, I want it."

Little Dragon Girl pointed at the large eagle, a smile appearing on her face.

She wasn't like Ying Zheng, who could command the entire nation and have everyone willingly worship the Heavenly Emperor.

But this large eagle before her was clearly some kind of exotic creature, one that could even be called a Divine Eagle.

If she offered this item, perhaps even the Heavenly Emperor would show a flicker of interest.

"This..."

Dugu Qiubai hesitated upon hearing this.

Finally, he shook his head.

"Immortal fairy, it's not that I disagree, but Brother Eagle is not my private property, and I cannot make decisions for it."

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl looked at him with surprise, then a ball of Life Essence appeared in her hand.

The Heavenly Emperor Visualization Diagram contained many laws and the Great Dao.

Ying Zheng comprehended the Dao of National Fortune, while she had learned the Dao of Life.

This was also why she could easily heal Qiu Chuji and the others.

The Life Essence she condensed was equivalent to the Vitality of all the flowers and trees within a radius of a thousand miles. It was a great tonic for both humans and animals.

The Divine Eagle possessed intelligence, and upon seeing the Life Essence, its entire body emitted signals of desire.

"Little Eagle, Little Eagle, be good. If you come with me, I have even better things for you!"

Little Dragon Girl approached the Divine Eagle, opened her hands, and placed the Life Essence before it.

The Divine Eagle's throat emitted a gurgling sound, but its head instinctively turned ninety degrees to look at Dugu Qiubai on its back.

Seeing this, Dugu Qiubai stepped down and also stood in mid-air.

However, compared to Little Dragon Girl's ease, he appeared to be struggling more, and his internal energy was rapidly depleting.

"Brother Eagle, you should go."

Understanding the Divine Eagle's meaning, Dugu Qiubai sincerely wished it well.

After all, following an immortal would have a much brighter future than following him.

With a sharp eagle's cry, the Divine Eagle flapped its wings and swallowed the Life Essence.

A smile immediately appeared on Little Dragon Girl's face, and she couldn't help but reach out to stroke the downy feathers on its head.

After interacting for a while, Little Dragon Girl finally looked at Dugu Qiubai, who had already landed on the ground.

"Make your move, or you won't have another chance."

Although Little Dragon Girl comprehended the laws of life, this was, after all, the immortal Dao.

Compared to martial arts, it was a dimensional reduction attack, so she naturally had the confidence to say this.

Dugu Qiubai did not retort, his gaze becoming even more solemn.

A powerful sword intent emanated from him, shattering the falling snow into pieces with its invisible force, leaving nothing within ten meters around him.

Qiu Chuji's eyes narrowed, filled with even greater shock.

"Such powerful sword intent, truly worthy of being called a martial arts legend that even Master marveled at."

At this moment, he finally understood the vastness of the world and the profundity of martial arts.

He had initially thought that besides the other four of the Five Greats, his seven martial brothers were also among the top martial artists in the world.

But everything that had happened today had shattered his delusions.

"Immortal fairy, please be careful."

Dugu Qiubai's sword intent reached its peak, and he himself disappeared, leaving only a sharp sword light in his place.

The sword light was milky white, carrying a sword intent that could sever heaven and earth as it shot upwards, whistling towards Little Dragon Girl.

Clang!

Little Dragon Girl looked at the sword light, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and her expression became serious.

Her hands were wrapped in Ice Silkworm Silk, and she extended her flawless, fair hands to grasp directly at the sword light.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, their breathing growing difficult.

Qiu Chuji was no exception. He looked at Little Dragon Girl with worried eyes, fearing the sharp sword energy might slice off her tender palm.

The sword energy, like a crescent moon pressing down on the sea, collided with Little Dragon Girl in an instant, producing a world-shattering roar.

Following that, terrifying sword intent and Immortal Qi intertwined, clashing continuously in the air, forming a visible ripple that spread for a hundred miles.

Boom!

A terrifying fluctuation emanated from the center of the battle. A swift wind appeared out of nowhere and howled, sweeping away the sea of clouds in the sky.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As the impact subsided, the sword energy became illusory and returned to human form.

Dugu Qiubai coughed up blood continuously, but his eyes grew brighter, a satisfied smile on his face.

"I lost, hahaha!"

He burst into laughter, and even though blood continued to stream from his mouth, it didn't stop him.

Above the sky.

Little Dragon Girl looked at the bloodstain that appeared on her hand for a long time, then looked down at Dugu Qiubai on the ground. Her icy voice gained a touch of human warmth.

"You are going to die."

Dugu Qiubai smiled and nodded, showing no surprise.

"I have lived for one hundred and thirty years. I was meant to die anyway. Now, dying in a battle against an immortal, I have no regrets!"

As he spoke, his originally black hair gradually turned white, and his middle-aged face grew old.

The stronger one's internal energy, the more it could lock in their Vitality.

But this was merely martial arts, not cultivation; it was impossible to achieve Longevity.

Even without this battle, he would have had at most a few months left.

This battle today had merely brought forward his Death Date.

"Caw!"

The Divine Eagle let out a mournful cry, its tone filled with sadness.

Hearing this, Dugu Qiubai's expression softened, as if looking at a family member.

"Fairy, I'll leave Brother Eagle to you. If he's mischievous, please bear with him."

Dugu Qiubai's voice grew weaker as he spoke, his body gradually losing sensation, yet a smile remained on his face.

Before facing death, there were only two things he couldn't let go of.

One was never having met his match!

The second was Brother Eagle.

Now that both were resolved, he naturally had no regrets.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"

The Divine Eagle watched Dugu Qiubai fall, swooping down from the sky. Tears filled its cold vertical pupils.

"Little Eagle, move aside."

Little Dragon Girl descended from the sky. The sword mark on her hand had already healed. Seeing Dugu Qiubai's corpse and the Divine Eagle's mournful cries, she made a decision.

She formed a hand seal, and the Vitality from the Zhongnan Mountain range flowed ceaselessly into Dugu Qiubai's body, forming a giant green cocoon around him.

After doing all this, Little Dragon Girl's face turned pale, experiencing weakness for the first time.

"Chirp?"

The Divine Eagle flapped its wings and chirped in place.

"I have temporarily stabilized his life force. Only the Heavenly Emperor can bring him back to life."
