"Hmm?! Interesting!" Lin Yu couldn't help but think.

Seeing the monster he had blasted away deflate like a balloon and float to the ground, Lin Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The Phoenix Clan truly possesses a multitude of diverse skills!

"Young man, your spell doesn't seem like a proper spell." Lin Yu stood atop a treetop, looking down at the phoenix clansman.

The Phoenix Clan member, exposed by Lin Yu, remained unfazed, coldly replying, "What do outsiders know?!"

"Could it be that you have some unspeakable secret behind learning such sorcery?" Lin Yu's voice also turned cold.

The beast before them was incredibly strange, a stark contrast to the unruly nature of the Supreme Phoenix Clan.

"None of your business!" the Phoenix Clan member said irritably, continuing to command the demonic beasts to attack Lin Yu.

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly. After all, this was a fantasy world where strength was paramount, and it seemed that he could only make his opponent submit with his fists.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

The next second, Lin Yu went all out, unleashing several punches that kept the surrounding monsters from getting close.

Several demonic beasts were sent flying, and the sound of them venting their anger filled the entire forest.

"Pfft... Pfft... Pfft..."

Seeing several demonic beasts deflate like punctured balloons and drift to the ground, the Phoenix Clan member was furious and about to attack Lin Yu himself when Lin Yu arrived.

"Boom!"

Another punch landed directly on the Phoenix Clan member, sending him flying.

The phoenix clansman crashed into a towering tree behind him, spitting out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably. However, his gaze remained stubbornly fixed on Lin Yu, showing no sign of yielding.

A pair of fiery red eyes, like two raging flames.

Lin Yu observed the man's expression, his gaze gradually turning cold.

"I originally thought your Phoenix High Priest was crazy enough, but I didn't expect that everyone in your Phoenix clan is like this."

"Like father, like son."

"How could a supreme phoenix, once so noble, have fallen to such a state?!"

Hearing the sigh in Lin Yu's words, the Phoenix Clan member became even more enraged and shakily tried to get up to fight him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu's seemingly light punch actually carried immense power, causing him severe internal injuries.

"You know nothing!" The Phoenix Clan member, though clearly on the verge of death, still rudely boasted to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "I already told you, my coming to your Phoenix Tomb was approved by your Phoenix Lord and High Priest."

"Why don't you think about it carefully? If they hadn't guided me, how could I, an outsider who's barely left the area, have possibly found your Phoenix Tomb?"

"Pah! Nonsense!" the Phoenix Clan member continued angrily, spitting heavily on the ground.

Although this mouthful was actually boundless, it contained a mouthful of hot blood, which diminished the power of his words.

Lin Yu was speechless. He squatted down and looked at the Phoenix Clan member who was already spitting blood but still refused to admit defeat. His gaze turned cold.

"Actually, you already knew, but you just didn't want to admit it."

"A wise man submits to circumstances. If you continue to be ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite," Lin Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the phoenix clansman fell silent, bowing his head deeply.

Seeing that he didn't intend to speak, Lin Yu waited for a while and was about to leave when the phoenix clansman spoke again.

His eyes were still burning with passion, but compared to the naturally red eyes of the Phoenix Clan, they were now somewhat bloodshot.

The phoenix clansman's eyes were filled with resentment. "What could you, an outsider, possibly know?"

"Over the years, because of a mysterious fragment used to mend the heavens, my Phoenix Clan has been constantly driven out and crushed. If we don't resort to some drastic measures, where will my Phoenix Clan have a future?"

"Supreme Phoenix? What a joke! In the world of demon beasts today, who still considers me, the Phoenix, to be supreme?!"

"For a century, the demon beasts, who are also of the supreme race, have watched my race suffer calamities. When have they ever cared about my race's safety? What are rules, what is the Heavenly Dao? Compared to survival, what do they matter!"

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. He had already heard similar words from the Phoenix High Priest once before, and after hearing them so many times, they no longer resonated with him as they did at first.

However, the boy's gaze revealed a hint of smugness. Lin Yu was puzzled and turned his head, only to find that the monsters he had just flattened had actually returned to their original state!

The deflated balloons were now all inflated, becoming plump and lifelike.

The wounds Lin Yu had previously inflicted were now all beginning to heal automatically.

In an instant, all the demonic beasts regained their fighting ability.

Lin Yu: "..."

Seeing that Lin Yu remained silent, the Phoenix Clan member assumed he was stunned and became somewhat smug, a cruel glint in his eyes.

As if to show off, the phoenix clansman spoke first, "Aren't you curious why their bodies can regenerate after you just destroyed them?"

Lin Yu's gaze turned icy, as if devoid of any emotion.

"They're just a bunch of dead things, what's so special about them?!" Lin Yu said slowly.

"Hmph, always so stubborn!" Seeing that Lin Yu showed no surprise, the phoenix clansman was dissatisfied. He immediately endured the pain and leaped up, landing on the back of the white tiger behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the two giant snakes charged straight at Lin Yu with tremendous force.

Lin Yu frowned slightly. Although he was still in snake form, something seemed to have changed!

"Roar!" "Roar!"

As Lin Yu was pondering what was wrong, the two giant snakes simultaneously opened their mouths and roared at Lin Yu.

As soon as the sound reached Lin Yu's ears, he understood: it was clearly the body of a snake, but it possessed the aura of a dragon!

It's not just the Supreme White Tiger clan; the Supreme Phoenix clan might even be targeting the Supreme Dragon clan!

Those two sounds were clearly the roars of dragons.

In a short while, the two giant snakes charged towards Lin Yu. Fortunately, Lin Yu reacted quickly and easily dodged the snakes' attack.

"Serpent's body and dragon's soul?!" Lin Yu's gaze towards the Phoenix Clan members became even more solemn.

The phoenix clansman, however, didn't seem to care and appeared quite pleased with himself.
