'Whoosh!'
Feng Tian Wu held the five-foot Flexible Sword in her hand and flew toward Bai Yu Hai and Feng Tong like a fire phoenix as a brand new energy was created from the turmoil in the burning flame on her body.
It was another type of Monarch Stage Profundity!
The flame on Feng Tian Wu's body suddenly surged before it transformed into a sword-shaped flame. She no longer resembled a fire phoenix but more like a giant burning sword.
'Whoosh!'
The giant sword charged through the air as it emitted a destructive aura. The airflow was suppressed in the wake of the sword as the sound of air explosions reverberated in the air.
As the air explosions reverberated, the airwaves swept out and turned into gusts of strong wind. It spread in each and every direction and covered every nook and cranny in the Crimson Sky Kingdom palace.
All of a sudden, many of the palace's doors and windows were forcefully blown open.
Those with low cultivation bases were lifted off the ground by the wind and were given a taste of flying.
Flying was an ability exclusive to martial artists above the Void Prying Stage. Ordinary martial artists did not have the ability to do so.
There were only a few people at the Void Prying Stage in the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
Up in the sky, Bai Yu Hai and Feng Tong who looked down on Feng Tian Wu earlier saw the drastic changes in the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above her head when the flames on her body turned into a sword-shaped flame.
A total of 8,000 ancient horned dragons' silhouettes were charging toward them with Feng Tian Wu at the lead.
Their expression changed when they saw Feng Tian Wu's alarmingly fast speed.
'Whoosh! Whoosh!'
They instinctively flew away in an attempt to evade Feng Tian Wu's attack that contained the strength of 8,000 ancient horned dragons.
6,000 ancient horned dragons' silhouettes appeared above their head as they flew away. They had unleashed their strength in order to dodge her attack.
Their faces contained a hint of worry as they flew away.
If Feng Tian Wu attacked, the impact of 8,000 ancient horned dragons' strength could kill either one of them!
Even if they used their Spirit Weapons to unleash their full strength, it still could not compare to the strength of 8,000 ancient horned dragons.
Furthermore, they would definitely lose if they countered her attack since Feng Tian Wu took the initiative to chase after them.
Therefore, they chose not to fight Feng Tian Wu directly. Instead, they only tried to evade the ferocious sword that was slashing toward them.
Although the five-foot red Flexible Sword was as thin as a cicada's wing, it remained straight as it slashed at Bai Yu Hai and Feng Tong. The sword whistled as it cut through the air.
'Whoosh!'
At the moment Bai Yu Hai and Feng Tong, the two First Level Martial Monarchs, dodged separately, Feng Tian Wu arrived with the five-foot red Flexible Sword in her hand.
Feng Tian Wu swung the five-foot sword in her hand without any fancy sword technique at the moment Bai Yu Hai was about to unleash his strength to flee.
'Whoosh!'
Although she did not use any fancy sword technique, the sword violently pierced through Bai Yu Hai's throat.
Ever since Bai Yu Hai saw the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon formed from Feng Tian Wu's Heaven and Earth Energy, he had completely given up on fighting her. The only thing he wanted to do was to run as far as he could.
At such a critical moment, It was too late even if Bai Yu Hai wanted to block Feng Tian Wu's sword.
'Pu!'
A bloody hole appeared on Bai Yu Hai's throat. Blood gushed out endlessly akin to beautiful red roses blooming in the sky.
His eyes dimmed as his last breath left him.
'Die!'
Bai Yu Hai's body fell lifelessly to the ground and landed near one of the luxurious rear palaces. His body was a mangled mess of meat as he fell with a resounding 'boom'.
The strongest powerhouse from Anicca Sect, a First Level Martial Monarch, died just like that!
He died in Feng Tian Wu's hands.
Perhaps even Bai Yu Hai himself did not expect to be killed by a young lady in her twenties after having lived for so long. Moreover, he was killed with just a blow.
Naturally, Feng Tian Wu only managed to kill Bai Yu Hai in one blow because she had unleashed the strength of 8,000 ancient horned dragons. Additionally, she had the upper hand since she made the first move. As a result, Bai Yu Hai could not retaliate, he could only run.
If Bai Yu Hai had fought back, he would not have died so quickly even if he would have eventually died.
Although he was dead, no one above the sky, including the Anicca Sect elders, cared about him.
Everyone's attention was focused on the red silhouette hovering in the sky.
The sword-shaped flame on the red silhouette's body suddenly flickered and crackled as though it was about to die out.
"Tian Wu!" Duan Ling Tian's expression changed drastically when he saw that.
The red silhouette was obviously Feng Tian Wu. She had used the Third Level Monarch Stage Fire Profundity to fuel the Third Level Monarch Stage Sword Profundity and unleash the strength of 8,000 ancient horned dragons to kill Bai Yu Hai
However, Feng Tian Wu's current condition was critical.
With his Origin Energy, Duan Ling Tian could feel the Fire Spirit Body's energy in Feng Tian Wu's body was running rampant.
Feng Tian Wu was trying but failing to suppress it.
Her life was not at risk at the moment since she was concentrating with all her might to suppress the rampant energy from the Fire Spirit Body that was raging in her body.
However, she would not be able to suppress it for long.
Judging by the current situation, she could only hold on for the duration of thirty breaths.
Thirty breaths later, she would not be able to suppress the Fire Spirit Body's energy any longer.
Due to that, she did not dare to get distracted and take care of other matters.
If she was distracted, the Fire Spirit Body's energy would lose control and explode. In turn, she would also explode into pieces along with it.
This was a result of her killing Bai Yu Hai earlier.
When she attacked, the Fire Spirit Body's energy in her body went into a frenzy and became difficult to suppress.
Naturally, she could only kill Bai Yu Hai.
There was nothing that she could do to the other Martial Monarch, Feng Tong, and the two elders from Anicca Sect and North Nether Sect.
She only had two options left in her current condition.
She could either die thirty breaths later or die now. She chose the former.
Naturally, it did not mean she was afraid of death. She just wanted whatever extra time she had left to look at the only man she had ever loved in her life.
She wanted to remember this man forever!
"Big Brother Duan… I'm sorry, I've tried my best." Feng Tian Wu tried suppressing the rampant energy in her body as she lifted her head to look at Duan Ling Tian with difficulty. Her eyes revealed a hint of apology, and her face was ashen.
Initially, she planned to kill the four people from Anicca Sect and North Nether Sect even if she was going to die. She wanted to get rid of the trouble for her Big Brother Duan.
However, she did not expect the Fire Spirit Body's energy would run rampant as soon as she killed Bai Yu Hai. She did not even have the energy to swing her sword now, how could she help her Big Brother Duan?
"Silly girl… You're so silly," Duan Ling Tian sniffled as his eyes turned red. His body began to tremble, and he could not move his feet. It was as though they were filled with lead.
His emotion was in a state of chaos, and he could not calm down at all.
What could he do to repay Tian Wu who had done so much for him?
He knew exactly what was happening in Tian Wu's body with the help of his Spiritual Energy.
"Even if the Rebirth Martial Emperor's still alive today, he wouldn't be able to help Tian Wu even if he's at his prime, let alone my ability that can't even compare to the Rebirth Martial Emperor despite inheriting his two lives' memory." Duan Ling Tian knew this very well thanks to the Rebirth Martial Emperor's memory.
Feng Tian Wu could only temporarily suppress the rampant energy on her own.
If any other energy came in contact with the Fire Spirit Body's energy now, it would become even more uncontrollable!
If that happened, Feng Tian Wu would die even faster.
"Tian Wu's only able to hold on for twenty more breaths now…" Duan Ling Tian looked terrible.
He wanted to help Feng Tian Wu, but there was nothing he could do.
"Third Level Monarch Stage Sword Profundity… I've underestimated you! You must be in agony with the Fire Spirit Body's energy running rampant in your body," Feng Tong said coldly when Duan Ling Tian was racking his brain for a solution to save Feng Tian Wu.
It was apparent that Feng Tong had seen through Feng Tian Wu's current condition and knew she could no longer fight.
Feng Tong made his way to Feng Tian Wu as he spoke.
When he stepped out, Origin Energy rumbled on his body as a Profundity and two Concepts trailed after him like his shadow.
His eyes were filled with killing intent when he looked at Feng Tian Wu.
"Feng Tong!" A purple silhouette flew out and shielded Feng Tian Wu. The silhouette stared coldly at Feng Tong. "If you attack her, don't expect to ever obtain the Emperor Stage Profundity Fragment in this lifetime!"
Naturally, it was Duan Ling Tian who blocked Feng Tong's way.
"Get lost!" Feng Tong was not bothered by Duan Ling Tian's verbal threat. A wave of energy swept out as he lifted his arm.
Duan Ling Tian was blown away, but he was unharmed.
Naturally, Feng Tong did not spare him because he was trying to show mercy. He only did that because Duan Ling Tian still had some use.
Otherwise, he would have killed Duan Ling Tian since the beginning to avenge Xu Qing who used to be the strongest among the younger generation in North Nether Sect.
"She'll definitely die today! Don't try to threaten me. She's not the only one who's close to you." Feng Tong halted his movement. He glared at Duan Ling Tian coldly as he threatened him.
"You!!" Duan Ling Tian's expression changed again.
Duan Ling Tian's rage soared to its peak. He felt like he was about to explode as he watched Feng Tong approach Tian Wu.
His heart was beating furiously in his chest. He hated himself for being weak and not being able to save Tian Wu.
