Chapter 64 - The Soul of the Shadow God
"He came so quickly." When Ling Ming saw the black dots in the sky, he immediately cried out in surprise. Back then, when Shadow God was reincarnated, he had sent half of his clan's experts to various parts of Human Realm to protect his bloodline.
As a phoenix-kind clan, the Yang Phoenix Clan naturally wouldn't let the Shadowphoenix fulfill her wish. After the Shadow God was reincarnated, they also sent out half of their experts, just so that they could kill the Shadow God before it matured. This was also why the Snow Wind Empire and the Haoyan Emperor were neighbors, each having their winds and snow flurried throughout the year, while the other had a volcano erupting all year round.
"In terms of strength, we can't compare to the Shadow God's Blood Shadow Phoenix, but in terms of speed, we, Yang Feng, can be considered as one of the strongest phoenixes. As long as we kill the other Shadow Phoenixes before they arrive, we, Yang Feng, will be safe in the position of the number one phoenix." As he said that, Chi Tong burst out laughing, the black dot in the sky had already reached his back, and dozens of Yang Feng's wings flapped at the same time.
"You …" Ling Ming glared fiercely at Chi Tong, but did not know what to say. Facing so many Yang Feng's, even he himself was unable to deal with them, and Su Bing was right under the city gates.
After making up his mind, Ling Ming clenched his teeth, and the spiritual energy began to gush out of his body. Its entire body had expanded several times, and it was actually able to forcibly resist the Yang Phoenix Qi, but seeing Ling Ming clenching his teeth, he knew that it was extremely difficult for Ling Ming to fight against dozens of Yang Phoenix Qi by himself.
"Humph!" Seeing that Ling Ming still wanted to resist, Chi Tong snorted coldly. With a flap of his gigantic phoenix wings, he charged towards Ling Ming.
Seeing Chi Tong rushing over, Ling Ming flapped his wings, and an extreme cold tornado immediately swept towards Ling Ming. Chi Tong's figure flashed and dodged Ling Ming's attack, but the two Yang Phoenixes behind him did not have enough time to react. After being swept away by the extreme frost tornado, they could no longer stabilize themselves and directly fell to the ground.
"Tch." Yang Feng could become a great clan of the phoenixes, and there was also a type of divine blood flowing in their bodies, but what they had was the Scorching Sun bloodline. With the Scorching Sun bloodline, their speed was far above the Shadow Phoenix's, but that did not mean that Yang Feng's attack was weaker, it was just that the Shadow Phoenix that had the Shadow God bloodline had extraordinary strength.
Ling Ming, who possessed the Shadow God's bloodline, was extremely strong. If they really were to fight to the death, Chi Tong would not be able to defeat him easily.
"Screech." Chi Tong shouted. When the other Yang Feng heard this, they immediately flew to Chi Tong's back, pulling a distance of thousands of meters from Ling Ming.
Seeing this situation, Ling Ming did not go and find trouble with them. What he needed to do was to stall for time, and as long as he could delay the other Shadow Phoenixes to come help, the safety of Shadow God would be assured.
It was unknown what Chi Tong had said to the other Yang Feng's ears, but they all nodded their heads, and then Chi Tong walked to the front of Ling Ming. The other Yang Phoenix gathered in a circle, spat out a flame from their mouths, and a fireball formed in between them.
"What are you guys doing?" Ling Ming narrowed his eyes, he did not know what Chi Tong was planning, but if they were to use a mere fireball to defeat him, then Chi Tong was too naive, unless their target was not him, but Su Bing who was in Cold City!
Thinking of this, Ling Ming's binocular glared, and the spiritual energy rushed out explosively. Numerous ice pillars appeared, and with a "whoosh whoosh" sound, they directly rushed towards Chi Tong.
Just as the ice pillar was about to hit Chi Tong, a large wall of ice suddenly burst into flames in front of Chi Tong.
"You actually dare to burn your life's Phoenix Marks." Looking at the wall of fire in front of Chi Tong, Ling Ming's eyes widened in shock as he cried out.
"As long as we can kill the Shadow God, the Patriarch will naturally help me reform the Phoenix Mark." Chi Tong's voice came from behind the fire wall, and from that voice, Ling Ming could hear a trace of pride.
Ling Ming grit his teeth. Burning the Life Phoenix Marks would cause one's strength to plummet. Even if they were reformed, they were incomparable to a Life Phoenix Marking. A phoenix that burned its Life Phoenix Marks would never be able to cultivate a divine beast. If it wasn't for the fact that he could rise in status in the Yang Phoenix Clan after killing the Shadow God, Chi Tong probably wouldn't have ignited his life phoenix pattern.
Just when Ling Ming was at his wit's end, the Yang Feng behind Chi Tong had already flung the fireball towards Cold City. Looking at the terrifying fireball, Ling Ming's binocular eyes were wide open, if the fireball were to hit Cold City, with Su Bing's current strength, he would definitely die. Without hesitation, he flapped his wings and rushed towards the fireball.
Seeing that Ling Ming wanted to block the fireball, the fire wall in front of Chi Tong immediately transformed into a gigantic fire spear. The fire spear was extremely fast, and in a flash, it was already beside Ling Ming. Just as the pike was about to strike Ling Ming, Ling Ming's entire body released a light aura, and countless amounts of ice condensed out, instantly forming an ice wall. When the pike stabbed onto the ice wall, both sides actually dissipated, and in order to protect Su Bing, Ling Ming had already ignited his life phoenix imprint.
Without being delayed by the guns, Ling Ming's figure flashed and appeared under the fireball. A large number of spiritual energy formed an ice wall and the fireball smashed into the ice wall, creating countless cracks.
"Screech." Ling Ming let out a shrill cry, as countless spiritual energy s surged out and began to replenish the cracks. However, Ling Ming's strength, which had already burned away his life phoenix imprints, plummeted greatly, and the speed at which the spiritual energy was mending could not keep up with the fireball's destruction speed.
Seeing that the ice wall was about to break, Xia Xuan and Su Bing suddenly appeared on Ling Ming's back.
"We will give you the soul of the Shadow God. Xia Xuan anxiously said.
"Screech." Ling Ming screamed again, and without reservation, the spiritual energy gushed out. Under the effect of the spiritual energy, the crevice actually showed signs of healing.
Xia Xuan and Su Bing looked at each other, then Su Bing supported Ling Ming with his hands as the binocular closed. Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared from Su Bing's body. The gigantic shadow looked exactly the same as Su Bing, but the gigantic shadow was emitting an astonishing aura, so it was actually the soul of the Shadow God.
The soul of the Shadow God was unlike the soul of the Deicide, it was only able to be reincarnated after leaving behind a trace of soul, the Shadow God was his reincarnation and was a complete soul. Although Su Bing was unable to unleash the power of the soul of the Shadow God, if it was Ling Ming instead, he would be able to unleash a power that could destroy the heavens and earth.
When Shadow God came out of Su Bing's body, he immediately went into Ling Ming's body, and then, Su Bing lost consciousness, and directly fell down to the ground. Seeing that, Xia Xuan's figure flashed and caught Su Bing, then he activated his spiritual energy and flew straight to the ground. He did not think that he could withstand the might of the battle that was coming up later.
"Screech." Another cry sounded out. However, this time, the cry even shattered the ice wall. The fireball instantly transformed into an icy ball. Just as the icy ball was formed, it exploded and shattered into fragments of ice.
"You turkeys dare to assassinate This King." Ling Ming's binocular was so dark that the Yang Feng's eyes seemed as if they were about to be sucked in, and upon hearing Ling Ming's majestic voice, their hearts were actually filled with fear.
