Phoenix Battles Qilin

It must be said that the strength of the Cult Master Tongtian and the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Heavenly Dao Sage, is truly well-deserved.

The two were evenly matched in their contest of Law Treasure, fighting fiercely and intensely until both exhausted their Law Power, resulting in a draw.

Their battle was so powerful that it erased all traces left when the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was dismantled, as if the war had never happened.

The two are currently competing in Law Technique, and the exquisite nature of their Law Technique has earned them widespread praise.

Although the Demon Beast condensed by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Cult Master Tongtian were lifeless, they were endowed with a certain degree of intelligence, which sustained them in battle.

At this moment, the Phoenix and the Water Qilin were engaged in a chase in the air. The Phoenix fanned its wings at the Water Qilin, and two whirlwinds of fire condensed from under its wings and attacked the Water Qilin.

"Roar!"

The Qilin roared to the sky, and streams of water formed around him, gradually converging into a circle that protected Qilin. When the fiery whirlwind that the Phoenix had removed attacked the water circle around the Qilin, it triggered a strong evaporation reaction.

The white smoke instantly enveloped the Qilin. As the power of the fiery whirlwind gradually weakened, the white smoke increased and, under the Qilin's deliberate control, began to drift towards the Phoenix.

Then the Qilin concealed itself within the white smoke, constantly changing position as it moved closer to the Phoenix.

The Phoenix sensed something was wrong and flapped its wings to retreat, but the white smoke suddenly accelerated, catching up with the Phoenix and enveloping it.

Seeing that things were not going well, the Phoenix hurriedly flapped its wings with all its might, trying to drive away the white smoke as it flew upwards. However, the Qilin was secretly obstructing it, constantly pushing the white smoke and chasing and blocking the Phoenix in the direction it was retreating.

The Phoenix flapped its wings and flew upwards, trying to escape the range of the white smoke. The Qilin pushed the smoke to block the Phoenix's retreat. The two divine beasts chased and blocked each other for about twenty breaths.

At this moment, the Phoenix, which had been retreating, suddenly stopped, staring intently at the Water Qilin, then flapped its wings and flew towards the Water Qilin.

Thinking that the Phoenix was about to fight it, the Water Qilin stopped controlling the white smoke, roared, and created a water shield around itself to deal with the Phoenix's attack.

When the Phoenix flew to him, it did not attack. Instead, it found a weak point in the white smoke beside it. Just as it was about to attack the Water Qilin, the Phoenix suddenly flapped its wings and flew in that direction, instantly escaping the Water Qilin's pursuit.

The poor Water Qilin had originally planned to use the white smoke to trick the Phoenix into injuring it, and then slowly wear it down.

However, he hadn't expected that driving this white smoke would be difficult enough just to catch up with the Phoenix, let alone completely trap him and allow him to do as he pleased.

He desperately tried to drive the white smoke to block the Phoenix, but the Phoenix escaped with ease. Putting that aside, just when he thought the Phoenix was about to fight him, he even summoned a water shield in preparation. However, the Phoenix flew in front of him but then feinted and escaped the range of the white smoke, completely outmaneuvering him.

Especially after the Phoenix escaped the white smoke, its cawing sound was clearly mocking him.

This greatly angered the Water Qilin. It activated the water shield around its body, which transformed into countless longswords made of water, floating around it. Upon closer inspection, there were tens of thousands of these swords.

With a long roar from the Water Qilin, tens of thousands of longswords swiftly charged towards the Phoenix, appearing from the ground like a river flowing through the sky.

The Phoenix did not dodge a cry, but spread its wings, and tens of thousands of fiery feathers appeared behind it. Then the Phoenix closed its wings, and these fiery feathers flew swiftly towards the sword river driven by the Water Qilin.

Seeing the Phoenix use this method to counter its attack, the Water Qilin was clearly pleased. If it were to unleash another burst of white smoke, it would be determined to envelop the Phoenix first and launch a frenzied attack on it. Even if it couldn't kill the phoenix outright, it would cripple it first and then slowly wear it down to death.

However, after the attacks of the Phoenix and the Water Qilin collided, what happened next completely thwarted the Water Qilin's plans. Instead of the white smoke that the Water Qilin had hoped for, their attacks collided.

In response to the Water Qilin's attack, Phoenix was particularly cautious, raising the intensity of the flames accompanying its attack to avoid the situation where its attack would produce white smoke upon hitting the Water Qilin, which the Water Qilin could then use to close in and put Phoenix in a passive position.

So, the moment their attacks collided, the Water Qilin's attack was instantly incinerated into nothingness.

Seeing this, the Water Qilin was momentarily stunned, while the Phoenix, seeing his expression, began to cackle and laugh again.

With a roar, the Water Qilin stared intently at the Phoenix. Then it began to run and charged towards the Phoenix, occasionally conjuring water swords to attack it along the way.

Seeing the Water Qilin's furious expression, the Phoenix laughed as it fled. Because of its already high speed, it quickly left the Qilin behind, and the Water Qilin's attack was easily neutralized by a flap of its wings.

"It seems your cultivation is insufficient, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi; the Water Qilin you've conjured is rather inadequate."

"But you really did make this Water Qilin look a lot like you."

"Look at how furious he is after I whipped him with this Phoenix. Doesn't it remind you of when you argued with me before?"

Seeing this scene of battle between the Phoenix and the Water Qilin, the Cult Master Tongtian couldn't help but laugh and say to the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

"You old fool, do you think I would inflict all my flaws on the divine beast I've created, just like you?"

"Look at yourself, the once-young Phoenix, now you've lost all your divine beast appearance, you look like a treacherous, cunning villain who's gotten away with it."

"It looks disgusting."

Seeing his Water Qilin being toyed with by the Phoenix of the Cult Master Tongtian, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was already somewhat angry. Now, hearing the Cult Master Tongtian mock him like this, he couldn't help but retaliate.

"This is nothing! I've only said a couple of sentences, why are you already yelling at me?"

Looks like I've hit a nerve.

Cult Master Tongtian seemed oblivious to the counterattack from Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, continuing his psychological warfare against him.
