Chapter 2388: Forces (1)



Nantian Fengyu turned, her fiery gaze landing on a man clad in the familiar dark blue armor of the Eastern Region Army. He stood with an air of arrogance, his eyes gleaming with avarice as The stared at her.

"You," he sneered, "you possess the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix. A rare find indeed." He took a step closer, his predatory intent clear. "Submit to me, and I might consider sparing your life. You can serve as my cultivation furnace, helping me refine my own bloodline." Nantian Fengyu's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Cultivation furnace? You?" She let out a melodious laugh that echoed through the desolate landscape. "You're just a measly God Ascension Realm ant. Do you truly believe you have the right to make demands of me?"

The man's face flushed with anger. "Insolent girl! Do you know who I am? I am Qin Muyang, a commander in the Eastern Region Army! Defy me, and you will face the wrath of the entire army!"

Nantian Fengyu's laughter intensified. "The Eastern Region Army? What a joke. Even your so- called general wouldn't dare speak to me in such a manner." Her eyes narrowed, and a terrifying aura erupted from her, the air shimmering with the intensity of her Phoenix flames. "I am Nantian Fengyu, descendant of the Divine Phoenix! You dare threaten me?"

Qin Muyang faltered, a flicker of doubt crossing his arrogant features. The suffocating pressure emanating from Nantian Fengyu, the sheer intensity of her Phoenix flames, gave him pause.

He had initially dismissed her as a lone cultivator, ripe for the taking. But now, he realized his mistake. This woman was no ordinary cultivator. Her bloodline was potent, her power undeniable.

However, pride and greed quickly quelled his hesitation. He was a commander in the Eastern Region Army, accustomed to authority and respect. He refused to back down, to be intimidated by a mere woman, even one with a formidable bloodline.

"So be it," he snarled, drawing his weapon, a long spear that crackled with lightning. "If you choose defiance, then prepare to face the consequences!"

He lunged forward, his spear thrusting towards Nantian Fengyu with lightning speed. The desolate landscape was illuminated by the blinding flash of his attack, the air crackling with the energy of his assault.

Nantian Fengyu met his attack with a disdainful flick of her wrist. A torrent of scorching Phoenix flames erupted from her palm, engulfing Qin Muyang's spear and forcing him back.

The flames danced and swirled, their heat so intense that they seemed to distort the very air around them.

He desperately threw out talismans, creating barriers and distractions, but it was all in vain. The Phoenix flames devoured everything in their path, their relentless pursuit a testament to Nantian Fengyu's fury.

Just as the flames were about to engulf him, Qin Muyang activated a life-saving talisman, teleporting him away from the battlefield, leaving behind nothing but the lingering stench of burnt flesh and a trail of ashes.

Nantian Fengyu watched his cowardly retreat, her expression a mixture of disdain and amusement. "Such a weakling," she scoffed. "He dared to threaten me."

She shook her head, her fiery hair swirling around her like a living flame. She would not waste any more time on such insignificant foes.

"You're in trouble," A female voice suddenly rang out, and a beautiful figure with a white veil covering her face slowly walked over.

Nantian Fengyu raised a fiery eyebrow, her gaze settling on the mysterious woman. "And you are?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of caution.

She couldn't sense the woman's cultivation level, which meant the woman was either a mortal or someone far stronger than her. The former was obviously impossible in this place.

The woman stopped a few paces away, her veiled face obscuring her expression. "You can call me Tantai Xue," she said, her voice like the gentle tinkling of jade. "I'm glad to see you here, Nantian Fengyu, the descendant of the Divine Phoenix."

Nantian Fengyu's eyes narrowed. "You know me?"

Tantai Xue chuckled softly. "Your display of power just now was quite impressive. It's not every day one sees a God Ascension Realm cultivator fleeing in terror from a mere junior."

"He was an idiot," Nantian Fengyu scoffed.

"Indeed," Tantai Xue agreed. "But his foolishness has inadvertently revealed your true strength, your precious bloodline. That is a mistake that may come back to haunt you." Nantian Fengyu frowned. "What do you mean?"
