Chapter 715: Return!
Chapter 715: Return!
At this point, Shangguan Wan had already ignored the outside world’s gazes completely. She held the icicle and was very excited when she saw the red liquid in front of her pour all over the roots.
The intense, bloody smell spread all over, and it made one vomit.
However, this smell made Shangguan Wan even more excited. This rolling leaf fir indeed grew by absorbing human blood, and the biggest one in the middle should be the mother tree of all the rolling leaf firs in the Mystic Forest. If I control this rolling leaf fir, won’t it mean that… All the people trapped underground will be mine?! In that case, this plan will be much more convenient than my previous one!
Shoo!
A painful shrill could be heard.
Chu Liuyue looked up and saw that the remaining rainbow feathers didn’t turn red after a long time. Even the parts that had turned red started to turn back rainbow gradually.
Chu Liuyue’s heart sank harshly. Could this… be a sign of it failing to break through?!
It spun in midair and anxiously flapped its wings.
Chu Liuyue clearly saw that the half of its wings that just turned red were gradually subsiding.
The most important point was that the dark clouds tumbling in the sky looked like they were going to disperse as they gradually floated in all directions.
Even if Chu Liuyue hadn’t personally witnessed a ninth-grade fiend breaking through to become a legendary fiend, she knew one thing: The natural elements would normally only disappear after one broke through successfully.
But now, the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant had only broken through halfway when this phenomenon started! This could only prove that Chu Liuyue’s guess wasn’t wrong!
I don’t know what problem the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant met, but it’s stuck at the last stage! If it can’t successfully break through to become a legendary fiend this time, the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant’s abilities will be greatly weakened. It might also be that it will never be able to break through and become a legendary fiend again. Chu Liuyue’s heart sank to the bottom.
…
“Big Brother, what’s going on? Is this fellow going to fail?”
All the others below detected that something was amiss, and their expressions changed.
Anxiety flashed across Lei Laosi’s eyes, and he looked at his own big brother. “Why did it become like this? We’ve been guarding it properly all this while, and we didn’t leave for a single moment. There has never been a mistake! Logically speaking, it should be able to break through successfully!”
One had to know that this Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant had been hibernating during this close to two-year period.
It chose to break through to become a legendary fiend today! If it didn’t have absolute confidence, it definitely wouldn’t do this!
“There’s nothing absolute in the world.” That man looked calm as he squinted his narrow eyes slightly. “The probability of a ninth-grade fiend breaking through to become a legendary fiend isn’t even half. Besides…”
Besides, this Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant is very different from other ninth-grade fiends!
Lei Laosi was stumped, and his face paled as he muttered, “B-but… This is that person’s fiend…”
How can her fiend fail? When it survived in that perilous situation, it already stated too many problems. At the very least, in my heart, I have never thought of another possibility other than success!
“…Let’s wait a while longer and see. The clouds haven’t completely gone away yet.”
Before that happened, everything could still be saved.
Lei Laosi held the hammer in his hands tightly and nervously looked up. “A-anyway, I think it definitely can…”
Lei Laosi muttered to himself as if he were convincing himself, and it also seemed like a determined persistence.
…
“Ah! Why did the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant’s color suddenly return to normal?!” Mu Hongyu gasped.
Ye Ranran knitted her brows and looked stern. “I’m afraid that… it’s bad! It’s not so easy to break through and become a legendary fiend…”
“You’re saying that it’s going to fail?” Mu Hongyu still couldn’t quite believe it. I saw the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant previously, and it was clearly doing well! Could it be that even this extremely strong ninth-grade fiend can’t successfully break through the ninth stage?
The golden mane bear cub suddenly appeared in Mu Hongyu’s arms again.
Mu Hongyu felt her arms sink and hurriedly carried it. “Congcong, what are you doing?”
She thought that it was frightened by this commotion, but the golden mane bear cub just stayed in her arms obediently after it came out. It looked up at the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant in the sky and seemed extremely nervous.
Mu Hongyu didn’t understand why. Why does Congcong seem… Not only is it unafraid, but it’s even worried about the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant?
…
Mu Qinghe also looked up, but he quickly retracted his gaze as he stared at Shangguan Wan again with a solemn expression. When Shangguan Wan took action just now, she seemed amiss…
“Your Highness—” The moment he spoke, he heard the wind ringing in his ear.
A green figure rapidly flashed across his eyes.
He was stunned. “Hong Yao!”
Hong Yao turned around to glance at him, but it didn’t stop.
Huala!
Its body rapidly burned with green fire, and its aura exploded!
What is it planning to do?! Mu Qinghe’s expression changed slightly. “Hong Yao, come back!”
He yelled loudly, but Hong Yao flapped its wings and went toward the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant in midair.
Mu Qinghe was about to chase after it when he heard a loud sound.
Hong long!
He turned around and saw a large part of the ground in front of Shangguan Wan collapse.
The gully extended so deep that one couldn’t see the bottom.
Jiang Yucheng had also noticed the commotion, and his expression changed drastically as he immediately went forward.
At this point, another root swept across, and Shangguan Wan directly jumped down.
“Your Highness!”
“Wan’er!”
Shangguan Wan’s figure disappeared in front of the crowd.
It’s so dangerous down there. Why does she still want to go down?
Almost at the same time, Chu Liuyue went on her toes and went straight for the skies like an arrow that left its bow.
She was actually going toward the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant!
“Liuyue!” Mu Hongyu and the rest were stunned. That Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant was about to fail in breaking through, and its surrounding aura has already erupted. Isn’t she courting death by going over at this time?!
Chu Liuyue ignored all of these voices. She gathered her force and traveled even faster.
At this point, only the small area on the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant’s head was still colored red. All the other parts had returned to rainbow.
But even though it was rainbow, it was very different from the previous elegant and beautiful look.
Upon closer look, it looked like it was covered in a layer of dust as its entire body became dull and looked dead.
Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to be pierced by something, and it hurt. She then clenched her teeth and rushed forward without hesitation.
As if detecting someone coming nearby, the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant flapped its wings alertly.
The ferocious and messy strength became rays of light that dispersed everywhere.
Quite a few injuries were quickly left on Chu Liuyue’s body, but she was still going forward! She directly reached the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant!
Shoo!
The Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant flapped its wings and almost instantly wrapped Chu Liuyue’s figure.
It was a crushing sense of pressure!
The sinisterly cold murderous intent overwhelmed her.
Chu Liuyue’s clothes flapped along with the wind, and her black hair swayed along.
The harsh aura got closer to her, and its sharp claws pricked her neck.
Fresh red blood instantly flowed out.
Chu Liuyue’s eyes turned red, but she was stubborn and determined as she said clearly, “Little Nine, I’m back. Can you come back too?”
Her voice was so light that it seemed like the wind could easily blow it away. However, the Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant heard it.
Its tightly shut eyes finally opened. Within the stale and dull gray, a brilliant rainbow color suddenly erupted.
In the skies, the dark clouds gathered once again!
Hot and crystal-clear tears dropped down from those charming eyes. The master summons! I’ll come back!
