Chapter 5153 Phoenix Nirvanic Rebirth
Qin Keqing’s attack caused Hu Xiaoyu to turn pale with terror. After all, Qin Keqing was an expert on the same level as Lu Fan and the others. Just moments ago, she had managed to injure Netherdragon Wushang. Although it could be considered a sneak attack, it should have triggered his instincts, allowing him to dodge.
However, Netherdragon Wushang hadn’t managed to do so, which meant that Qin Keqing’s attack could bypass even the sharpest senses. Now, with her fury radiating like a howling ghost, Qin Keqing’s attack was even more terrifying.
“White Dragon Blood Convergence, Ten Thousand Dragon Heart!” Bai Yingxue shouted, drawing a white sword out of its sheath. All the white dragon race’s disciples quickly formed hand seals. White dragon scales on their chests began to glow, their reverse scales lighting up with divine radiance.
The divine light converged on Bai Yingxue, who was now covered in white scales that gleamed like precious jewels. Her black hair billowed behind her as she adopted a solemn expression. She knew she was far from a match for Qin Keqing, but there was no retreat. She had to stand and fight.
As all the white dragon race’s disciples transmitted their power to her, all her scales blazed with light, and she swung her sword. When this sword moved, divine light filled the world, blessing the surroundings with its sacred pressure.
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot!” Qin Keqing sneered, her divine light flaring as she prepared to counterattack.
However, Bai Yingxue’s sword descended with a decisive force. The void split apart with a thunderous explosion, and Qin Keqing was sent flying through the air, stunned.
Bai Yingxue’s unexpected defense left everyone in shock. Though she was an elite of the white dragon race, her true power was only on par with Huo Qianwu’s, placing her somewhere around the top fifty among these experts. In contrast, Qin Keqing was renowned as one of the strongest peak experts.
“Qin Keqing is injured!” exclaimed someone with keen eyes, noticing the blood dripping slowly from Qin Keqing’s hand.
“The white dragon race’s foundation is formidable. What a shocking technique... Qin Keqing was really too careless,” Li Tianfan remarked, shaking his head at the sight.
Qin Keqing had been overly confident, driven by her desire to regain her lost face after her confrontation with Liao Yuhuang. However, instead of achieving her goal, she ended up injured. The white dragon race’s attack carried potent sacred might, making Qin Keqing’s wound difficult to heal, even with her immense Doyen power.
Unfortunately, the attack hadn’t struck somewhere vital; otherwise, it would have rendered Qin Keqing unable to fight freely.
“If it’s no good, we can always switch out the vanguard!” Netherdragon Wushang said some devastating words. Hearing this, Qin Keqing roared and summoned her Heavenly Fate Disk.
Eternal qi and Doyen power surged wildly from Qin Keqing, her aura slashing through the space around her like razor-sharp blades. She had gone crazy.
“Damn slut, do you think using a weapon is so amazing?! Do you think I don’t have a weapon?!” shouted Qin Keqing, summoning an ancient zither before her.
When the zither materialized, Bai Yingxue and the others stiffened. It was a Human Emperor divine weapon forged from dragon bone, radiating a fearsome Human Emperor-level dragon might. This aura exerted a powerful suppressive effect on Bai Yingxue and the others, making it arduous for them to even circulate their energy.
“Die!” Qin Keqing shouted, her voice resembling a deadly promise as she struck a string on the zither, and it resonated with a bowstring’s twang. The next moment, a blood-colored crescent moon shot through the air with a chilling sound, aiming straight at her enemies.
In response, Bai Yingxue’s Heavenly Fate Disk flared to life, a white dragon mark glowing on her forehead. Her sword trembled, and a dragon’s cry echoed from it as she swung it once more.
BOOM!
Bai Yingxue’s attack crushed the red crescent moon, and a qi wave erupted in every direction, causing heaven and earth to tremble. When struck by the qi wave, the Heavenly Chosens felt a suffocating pressure and were shocked. It seemed that the white dragon race was more powerful than they had expected.
As Bai Yingxue deflected the attack, Qin Keqing’s embarrassment deepened. She sneered, “That was just one string! My Dragon Bone Zither has seven strings. Let’s see how many you can endure!”
With a fierce pluck of two strings, a blood-colored dragon mark ignited on her zither. Immediately after, a formidable dragon might surged forth, and a crescent moon ten times larger than before hurtled toward Bai Yingxue.
BOOM!
Bai Yingxue’s sword shattered under the force, and she was sent flying. The white dragon race’s disciples were thrown into disarray, spitting out blood from the backlash.
Drenched in blood, Bai Yingxue was filled with resentment. She and her fellow disciples were strong enough to go against a peak expert, but Qin Keqing’s Dragon Bone Zither was unleashing a dragon might that perfectly suppressed the white dragon race, dismantling their formation.
“Die!”
With a fierce cry, Qin Keqing struck her zither with full force, sending it hurtling toward Bai Yingxue with overwhelming dragon might. The zither’s seven strings quivered ominously, each filled with devastating power. When all seven strings activated, the combined force could obliterate anyone in its path. This was Qin Keqing’s most ruthless killing move.
Bai Yingxue and the others could see the deadly power concentrated in the Dragon Bone Zither and knew they were about to die.
“Feng You!”
But at that critical moment, Feng You appeared before them, and a pair of immense phoenix wings materialized from her Heavenly Fate Disk. Her expression was resolute as she clawed at the Dragon Bone Zither.
“No!” Bai Yingxue and Hu Xiaoyu cried out.
BOOM!
Feng You and her phoenix wings exploded in a burst of energy, scattering into blood mist.
“Big sister...!” Hu Xiaoyu let out a heart-rending cry.
At this moment, the blood mist ignited into blazing flames, and Feng You reemerged, standing defiantly before them. She stunned everyone.
“The phoenix’s nirvanic rebirth art?” Even Lu Fan, Netherdragon Wushang, and the others were taken aback.
Suddenly, Li Tianfan shouted, “The phoenix’s nirvanic rebirth art can only be used once within a set time! If you kill her again, she’ll be truly dead!”
With Li Tianfan’s reminder, Qin Keqing immediately recalled her Dragon Bone Zither and unleashed the same technique, sending the Dragon Bone Zither smashing toward Feng You with even greater might.
“Feng You, you have to dodge! You’ll die!” shouted Bai Yingxue.
“There are people that I need to protect behind me. There is no retreat for me! Xiaoyu, if you survive, I hope you will live a happy life,” Feng You declared, her gaze turning towards Hu Xiaoyu’s tear-stained face. She spread her arms wide, and immense wings of light filled the sky.
She knew that she was going to die, but she felt no fear. She only felt a bit unwilling to leave Hu Xiaoyu behind. Yet, it was this very realization that strengthened her resolve to sacrifice her own life to ensure Xiaoyu’s chance of survival. At that moment, everything became clear to her.
BOOM!
Bai Yingxue and the others shut their eyes in pain, unable to watch the scene unfold. But even after the deafening impact, the immense wings remained. A figure materialized before Feng You.
With long hair flowing majestically, this figure descended like a divine being. He effortlessly caught the formidable Dragon Bone Zither in one hand, leaving everyone too shocked to speak.
“Hehe, I came at the right time. It’s finally my turn to show off!” An impish and wretched voice rang out in everyone’s ears.
