Chapter 185: Bi Fang’s Broken Coffin
The black coffin that the shadow had transformed into was completely shattered, and the Soul Sealing Coffin that it encased was revealed anew.
A black aura surged from the coffin, transforming into a crane-shaped monster.
“It’s Bi Fang!”
The phantom of Bi Fang swept a glance at the crowd, with a resentful gaze. Its long bird beak opened, emitting a sharp and piercing cry that seemed to penetrate eardrums.
The Soul Sealing Coffin began to violently shake, as if something inside wanted to break free from the seal.
Mu Youqian anxiously said, “Not good, Bi Fang’s head is trying to break open the Soul Sealing Coffin.”
As he spoke, he rapidly formed several hand seals, then slapped the ground with both hands. A cyan light, like a spider web, connected to the Soul Sealing Coffin.
Strange patterns lit up on the surface of the coffin, suppressing the riot of the black coffin.
Seeing this, the phantom of Bi Fang flapped its wings, and a powerful aura spread, causing the entire Demon Slaying Department to tremble.
Mu Youqian, being the closest, couldn’t react in time and was directly thrown away. The patterns on the surface of the black coffin instantly dimmed.
Qin Feng widened his eyes, anticipating the imminent attack, when two figures appeared at his side simultaneously.
Liu Jianli raised her right hand, and a sword energy acted as a barrier, completely blocking the aura emitted by Bi Fang.
Zhou Kai, unaware of her identity, looked surprised and muttered, “Wielding sword energy barehanded, fifth-level sword intent, the Myriad Gods Realm? So young...”
He quickly recalled the peerless geniuses in the Great Qian Dynasty, comparing them one by one.
With breathtaking looks, extraordinary talent, and unparalleled swordsmanship, only two candidates remained – Bai Wushuang, the daughter of the Sword Emperor in Sword Emperor City, and Liu Jianli, the daughter of Duke Liu of the Imperial Capital.
Bai Wushuang has a father who is a Sword Emperor, with exceptional innate talent, and possessed the Clear Heart Sword, comparable to Liu Jianli’s Lustrous Cold Water Sword.
It was natural to expect her to reach the fifth level of sword intent at such a young age.
However, Bai Wushuang had lived in Sword Emperor City since childhood, rarely venturing outside, making it unlikely for her to be in such a remote place.
Thus, the truth seemed to point to only one person.
“Is this girl Liu Jianli?” Zhou Kai thought, but he still had doubts.
After all, the daughter of the genius Liu Jianli, was rumored to be paralyzed on one side due to a failed breakthrough.
Looking at her, with a profound aura, she did not seem like someone seriously injured.
When no one noticed, a hint of complex emotion flashed in Cang Feilan’s eyes, and the silver color at the tips of her blue hair slowly faded away.
Although Liu Jianli’s sword energy blocked the formidable aura of Bi Fang, the danger did not diminish.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and they eagerly looked into the Soul Sealing Coffin.
Inside the twisted, vortex-like coffin, the burning head of Bi fang slowly emerged, its eyes filled with a sinister malice.
Having fought fiercely and died in an ambush, how could it not harbor boundless resentment?!
The flames turned into a body, and Bi fang’s wings suddenly flapped, hot wind howling. The floor instantly turned charred, and books and wooden chairs around were instantly ignited.
Seeing this, Master Zhou and Liu Jianli quickly took action.
A flowing shadow barrier rose to block Bi fang’s attack, and a Sword Qi cut through the space, aiming for Bi fang’s head.
However, with a cry, the Sword Qi was instantly shattered!
“How is this possible?” Qin Feng was shocked. Even after Bi fang’s death, it still possessed such terrifying strength?
Si Zheng saw his thoughts and explained in a deep voice, “Some demonic abilities can only be displayed after death, and the power of these abilities may surpass their lifetime strength.
I have heard that a Ghost King with the power of six calamity cycle, after death, has the ability to annihilate the souls of others.
At that time, the Red Lotus Second Star Demon Slayer who killed it, practicing the Divine Martial tradition, was not skilled in dealing with souls and fell victim to its strange ability.
So, don’t think that just because Bi fang only has one head left, it can be easily dealt with.”
This kind of supernatural ability is a bit too tricky. Whoever kills it will have to exchange one for one with its extreme ability?
“Lord Si, does this Bi fang also have a similar supernatural ability?” Qin Feng’s expression was unpleasant.
“Don’t worry. If Bi fang really has a similar supernatural ability, it would be used against those who attacked and killed it in the first place. Now that it is already dead, I believe the ashes in the sky are its magical powers after death.” speculated Si Zheng.
While the two were talking, the battle continued.
The intense fire dispersed, forcing Zhou Kai and Liu Jianli to retreat.
Seizing this opportunity, Bi Fang broke free from the constraints of the Flowing Shadow Wall. The wings formed by the raging fire flapped, breaking through the roof and soaring into the sky above Jinyang City.
Seeing this scene, Mu Youqian exclaimed, “Not good! It wants to combine with its posthumous supernatural ability to increase its power. The people of Jinyang City will suffer!”
As soon as he spoke, the edge of the sky filled with ash and snow lit up with a red glow, like floating sparks.
Despite it being the heart of winter, Jinyang City now resembled a burning brazier, extremely hot. Several rooftops couldn’t withstand the high temperature and ignited.
If this continues, even the air will scorch the lungs!
At that point, it will undoubtedly be a tragic scene!
Just at this critical moment, a loud and clear dragon roar resounded, echoing through the sky!
