Capturing Jiufeng

On the Ancient Domain Platform, people began to whisper among themselves:

"Who is that person? How dare he be so brave, disrespecting Half-Saint of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"

"You can't blame that person, can you? That female Half-Saint of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was so beautiful and had such a hot figure, any man would have been tempted to have impure thoughts, right?"

"That's true, but that person was looking at it so openly; what's the difference between that and courting death?"

"Shh! Keep your voices down, or that female Half-Saint might hear you and you could all be buried with her."

Suddenly, Fire Phoenix turned around and looked at the group of people who had been discussing the matter.

The group of people were startled and quickly covered their mouths, their eyes darting around, as they cautiously retreated behind the others.

Fire Phoenix then turned to Li Changqing: "Tell me honestly, are the deaths of Feng Lieshan and Thunder Phoenix related to you?"

"Confess truthfully, and I might grant you a quick death; otherwise, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has many cruel tortures they can inflict upon you."

Li Changqing remained relaxed. He shifted his gaze from the breasts downwards, his words still flippant, and chuckled:

"That's certainly a quick and painless way to die. But are you confident you can kill me in that area? I consider myself quite capable in that regard; even if a few more of you came, I wouldn't be afraid."

The people around were not children, so they naturally understood what Li Changqing meant.

Their gaze towards Li Changqing changed. Li Changqing was truly courageous; even at this point, he was still blatantly provoking them.

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, listening in a daze.

"Driving is out of the question, "Li Changqing's words were practically a direct spiel onto the highway.

Those around Xiao Yan subconsciously glanced at him. Having spent time with Xiao Yan, they felt he was a very upright person, and they never expected that he would have such a foul-mouthed fellow villager.

But there was one exception. Qing Lin didn't understand what Li Changqing meant and asked:

"What do you mean? Does that person think they can defeat several Half-Saint with only the cultivation of Dou Zun?"

Xiao Yan and his group all looked at Qing Lin, not expecting Qing Lin to be so naive.

Qing Lin was taken aback. "Did I say something wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"

At this moment, Gu Hua said seriously, "In that respect, it might be possible, but I think it's unlikely. After all, he's Half-Saint; an ordinary person's physical condition can't handle it."

"Gu Hua, don't set a bad example for others. If you dare to do this again, wait until we get back to the clan, and I'll teach you a lesson." Gu Qingyang scolded Gu Hua.

Gu Hua chuckled and didn't say anything more.

Xiao Yixian approached Qing Lin and whispered something in Qing Lin's ear.

Qing Lin's face visibly flushed red as she said shamefully, "How could Brother Xiao Yan know someone like that? That's really awful."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but ultimately remained silent. He was still quite upright.

After shaking his head and sighing softly, Xiao Yan turned his gaze back to Li Changqing, his expression becoming serious:

"In any case, Brother Qing has helped me a lot, and he's from my hometown. Moreover, it seems the Hun Clan has no intention of protecting Brother Qing. If Brother Qing is no match for that Half-Saint later, I would appreciate it if you all could join me in saving him."

The Starfall Pavilion members who came with Xiao Yan — Medusa, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin— all nodded.

Gu Qingyang and the others all looked at Gu Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er smiled slightly, "Since he's from the same hometown as Brother Xiao Yan has helped him a lot, we naturally can't just ignore him. However, Brother Xiao Yan, please don't become like him."

Xiao Yan immediately assured her, "Xun'er, don't worry, I will never provoke other women again."

Meanwhile, Fire Phoenix Li Changqing, understanding Li Changqing's meaning perfectly, erupted. "Human, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

A terrifying aura emanated from the Fire Phoenix, forcing other powerful figures who approached to retreat several steps.

Fire Phoenix slammed its two large hands directly at Li Changqing.

Just moments before being photographed, Li Changqing vanished from his spot.

"So fast!" Fire Phoenix was shocked. She was Half-Saint, and Li Changqing had actually disappeared right under her nose. This was really abnormal.

However, this also confirmed to her that the deaths of Feng Lieshan and Thunder Phoenix were indeed related to Li Changqing.

Just as Fire Phoenix was about to release her Soul Force to carefully sense where Li Changqing had run off to, she suddenly heard Jiufeng's scream from behind her.

Fire Phoenix turned around abruptly and found that Li Changqing's large hand had already pressed down on Jiufeng, and Jiufeng was also forced to kneel on the ground.

Looking at Jiufeng's condition again, her left arm had disappeared, and there was still a wisp of blood mist on her left side.

Clearly, in just that brief moment, Jiufeng's left arm was instantly blasted into a bloody mist by Li Changqing.

Jiufeng was in excruciating pain, her face contorted in agony and her complexion turned deathly pale; she looked utterly miserable.

He tried to circulate his Dou Qi to break free from Li Changqing's grasp, but instead heard Li Changqing's devilish whisper:

"Don't move! If you move, I might accidentally slip and do something bad, like popping another part of your body."

"Of course, you can try to struggle. Take a gamble: will it be your right arm, left leg, right leg that explode, or your dignity as a man—no, a male bird—or perhaps this round thing I'm pressing down on?"

Jiufeng was terrified, losing all his previous composure. He dared not move, not even breathe, and looked at Fire Phoenix with horrified eyes, his voice trembling as he said:

"Elder Fire Phoenix, save me!"

Li Changqing curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Tch, what a coward. He doesn't even dare to gamble on a one-in-five chance of survival. What a waste."

The other members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Fire Phoenix were about to step forward to rescue Jiufeng from Li Changqing's grasp, but Li Changqing's hand exerted force first.

Jiufeng immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream. He felt as if his head was being crushed by a tremendous force, as if it would explode at any moment.

Fire Phoenix raised her hand, signaling the others not to act rashly, and immediately stopped herself, looking at Li Changqing with a gloomy expression.

Li Changqing looked at Fire Phoenix and chuckled, "Isn't this a sign that you've calmed down? How come you were like a powder keg just now, ready to explode at any moment?"

Fire Phoenix felt extremely aggrieved. If Li Changqing threatened her with other Heavenly Demon Phoenix, she could simply ignore them and let them die.

But Jiufeng is different; he is the son of the clan leader.

Thinking this, Fire Phoenix feigned indifference and said calmly, "Do you think you can threaten me with a Nine-Star Dou Zun Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"

"I'm telling you, impossible! Even if I kill him with my own hands, I'll only be punished when I return to my clan. In fact, because I caught you, I might even be exempt from punishment."

"If you know what's good for you, release him now, and I might spare your life. But I guarantee you'll suffer endless torment."
