Azure Luan and Fire Phoenix did not clash with him head-on. They simply relied on the Phoenix Clan's home-ground advantage, circling Kunpeng from either side.
Although Azure Luan's azure winds could not harm Kunpeng at his core, they were like an invisible net, hampering his every move.
Fire Phoenix's nirvana fire contained Yuanfeng's source power, and every strike left scorch marks on Kunpeng's wings.
Kunpeng was tied down.
His true form, which blotted out the sky and sun, wheeled ceaselessly through the air as he tried to tear the two Phoenix Clan members apart with his talons.
But Azure Luan and Fire Phoenix worked in perfect harmony, always keeping a safe distance as one advanced and the other retreated. Neither greedy for glory nor willing to back down, they sought only to hold him there and deny him another chance to join the attack on Pan Xuan.
Several times, Kunpeng tried to shake the two off and charge straight at Pan Xuan, only to become entangled in Azure Luan's winds. A trace of agitation gradually rose within him.
Without Kunpeng's flanking attacks, the pressure on Pan Xuan dropped sharply.
He drew a deep breath, and his Vast Righteous Qi erupted once more. The Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler swept out, driving Di Jun's River Diagram and Luo Book back several yards.
Taiyi's Chaos Bell followed close behind. Pan Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, meeting it head-on with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler.
Amid a thunderous crash, purple-gold light and chaos sound waves shattered and scattered. Pan Xuan retreated half a step, while Taiyi also tipped back slightly.
Just then, an explosive crack that tore through the void came from the distant horizon.
It was neither the toll of the Chaos Bell nor the hum of any magical treasure, but the shriek of space itself
