Of course, Ji Yuan thought that it was also possible that Fellow Daoist Zhu trusted him more. In any case, he would definitely not let Zhu Tingtao chase him alone.
Ji Yuan jumped lightly from the branch and flew into the air following the trajectory of the two people in front of him, one chasing and the other fleeing.
The other party had his back to Zhu Tingtao and was hit by his Xiaguang finger. Although he was definitely injured, Zhu Tingtao's cultivation level was slightly better than Ju Yuanzi's. The other party did not die immediately, probably because Zhu Tingtao wanted to keep him alive, but the fact that he immediately counterattacked and successfully escaped showed that the other party's cultivation level was not much worse than Zhu Tingtao's.
Zhu Tingtao did not have too many concerns when he chased out. Regardless of whether some individuals on Xianxia Island had some complaints about Ji Yuan, he personally already understood the personalities of his four fellow Taoists when they were refining weapons together, and he trusted Ji Yuan very much.
It is not known whether the one escaping in front is a human or a monster, but he is definitely not a good person. His purpose is either to harm Xianxia Island or Phoenix. Zhu Tingtao will never let him go.
"Evil creature, what is your purpose—"
Zhu Tingtao shouted and asked while pinching a talisman with his hand, which turned into a stream of light in the sky to send a message to Xianxia Island.
At this juncture, Xianxia Island would take any small matter seriously. What's more, the other party knew a lot about Xianxia Island's trip. They knew that they were looking for the phoenix, and they also knew that Zhu Tingtao had a phoenix feather in his hand.
"No matter what the other party's plan is, since Mr. Ji is here, I can just use it against them!"
Although Zhu Tingtao couldn't see through Ji Yuan's cultivation level, he had some guesses. He was probably at the top among all the Dongxuan masters from ancient times to the present. The fact that the Taoist song awakened Shi Youdao was even more incredible, which was beyond the scope of understanding of the word "cultivation".
Therefore, with Ji Yuan around, Zhu Tingtao felt at ease and was not in a hurry to catch up with the person ahead. The anger he showed was genuine, but his eagerness was just pretense.
When the people in the front heard Zhu Tingtao's shout, they simply ignored him and kept speeding up. The two of them, one in front and one behind, were two rays of light, and the place they passed through became more and more desolate and remote.
They flew for a quarter of an hour and had covered a considerable distance considering their speed. The person in front finally turned around and responded to Zhu Tingtao with a sneering tone.
"Zhu Tingtao, if you have the guts to follow me, I'm afraid you won't be able to return alive!"
"The evil creature is speaking nonsense!"
Zhu Tingtao responded directly by casting a spell. He pinched the light in his hand and waved it a few times, forming a talisman of rosy light. He pinched his fingers again and held the talisman in his hand. Then he slapped out with his other hand, and the talisman immediately turned into a burst of flames flashing with rosy light. It swept forward at a speed faster than a strong wind and turned into a huge, shining firebird in the air.
“Chi—”
The firebird seemed to be a living being. It flapped its wings forward, cried out loudly, and stretched out its sharp claws burning with flames.
The monk who was fleeing in front looked back, his pupils contracted, and he quickly gathered his magic power and crossed his palms in front of him.
"boom… "
The sharp claws collided with the monk in front. The former failed to pierce the opponent directly or kill him, but it knocked the latter away with one blow, and the latter turned into a meteor and hit the distant hill.
"Boom..."
Such a strike was not a complete hit, and of course it was impossible to kill the opponent directly, but before the monk had time to come out of the hill, the firebird had already flown down with a roar, and a pair of sharp claws wrapped in flames had already landed on the hill.
"Catch you bug!"
Zhu Tingtao cursed in the sky and watched the huge firebird tear through the hill with one blow. Everywhere it passed was burning with flames. However, the monk was not caught, but escaped using the escape technique and returned to the sky.
But the firebird turned back into the sky and immediately pecked at the monk with its sharp beak. The monk's hand flashed with light and he directly took out a scimitar and cast a spell to hit the firebird's beak.
"when… "
It was like the sound of metal clashing, shaking the whole area.
Zhu Tingtao frowned slightly, and with a flick of his sleeves, a tornado was swept out. The light of gold and iron flashed in it. It began to expand rapidly from the direction of his cuffs, and soon turned into a long whip that reached the sky and the earth, sweeping towards the fellow practitioner.
At the same time, Zhu Tingtao himself also flew up with a ray of light, and his figure appeared directly beside the monk. At the moment when the monk once again blocked the firebird's attack and the tornado's sweep, he pointed his finger at the opponent's center with a ray of light.
"Puff..."
The monk who was pointed at by Zhu Tingtao made a sound like a water-filled ball being punctured, and was pierced through by a sharp beam of light.
"Evil creature, show yourself to me!"
The voice from Zhu Tingtao's mouth was like thunder, which was some kind of imperial decree. At the same time, several feathers of the firebird fell off and shot at the monk like an arrow, igniting a flame.
Due to the roar of the Dharma words and the injuries on his body, the monk suddenly began to develop black and purple pustules on his body, which became more and more swollen.
“Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…”…
In an instant, all the pustules burst, and dirty and smelly pus splashed out. Zhu Tingtao dodged first, but the smell still made him feel nauseous.
“Chi—”
The firebird flew by, and a large amount of glowing flames poured down like rain. Zhu Tingtao then dotted into the air, flipped backwards and landed on top of the firebird's head.
The foul smell made Ji Yuan, who was hiding in the void, couldn't help but frown slightly. His sense of smell was far superior to that of ordinary people and ordinary practitioners. For him, this kind of strange smell was not only magnified many times, but he could also smell something deeper. The stench in front of him was mixed with a smell of decay.
The exploded black and purple liquid did not scatter directly on the ground, but regrouped in the air. After losing its human form, it formed a twisted four-legged monster. It looked ferocious, but apart from the four legs and the tail, no specific shape could be seen, and the flames on its body had not been extinguished.
“Roar… Roar…”
The monster let out a series of roars, and after it roared, other roars were heard in the distance.
“Roar…” “Roar…”
"Zhu Tingtao, hand over the Phoenix Feather—"
"Or if you help me find the phoenix, I'll give you a share of the True Spirit's blood!"
The sounds coming from different directions sounded like two people talking, but Ji Yuan and Zhu Tingtao felt that the words came from one person.
"Who is that evildoer who is talking? He is hiding himself and dares not show himself. Fenghuang is a great senior from Xianxia Island. How can we allow you, the filthy rats, to blaspheme against her!"
Zhu Tingtao's alarm grew higher and higher. Could it be that the other party was a real demon? Although there was a sense of demonic power, the demonic energy was not too strong. Instead, there was a demonic energy with a strong stench that was constantly strengthening, but it seemed to be scattered in all directions and not condensed in one place.
The monster covered with pus and blood in front of him was getting smaller and smaller because of the burning of the Xiaguang True Fire that Zhu Tingtao practiced. It was swallowed by the firebird in one gulp when it was fighting against the True Fire. However, Zhu Tingtao did not dare to let down his guard, knowing that a powerful enemy was approaching.
But at least there is one good news for Zhu Tingtao. Although the other party knows a lot of things, he probably hasn't found Senior Huang.
"Ho...ho...ho..."
The approaching sound seemed to be a mixture of screams and roars, like the roars of wild beasts and some strange sounds like crying and laughing.
A moment later, Zhu Tingtao's eyes widened with anger. A dozen monsters emitting the same foul smell as before kept approaching from far away, but they obviously had shapes. Some were covered with feathers, some had scales and armor, some had sharp teeth, and some had claws on their four legs. But in addition to the evil aura with a strong stench, their bodies were also full of the glazed glow of Xianxia Island, and contained the magic power of Xianxia Island.
"Evil beast, how many Xianxia Island monks have you killed?"
"Zhu Tingtao, hand over the feathers. Cultivation is not easy. Don't ruin your future here. Phoenix will die and Xianxia Island will be destroyed. If you join me, I can guarantee that you will obtain the Dongxuan and transcend the world..."
The voice was hoarse and confused, but the meaning was clear.
Zhu Tingtao laughed out of anger, the "advice" from the other party was an insult to his state of mind as well as his intelligence, and was even worse than the words used to scare children in the mortal world.
"You evil and perverse person! When Senior Huang was cultivating and attaining enlightenment, you didn't even know where he was. How dare you covet the Phoenix's true blood? Taste the Phoenix's true fire!"
“Chi—”
The firebird under Zhu Tingtao's feet suddenly let out a very loud cry, the second half of which was even similar to the cry of a phoenix. At the same time, the flames on the firebird became more intense, and its feathers stood up layer by layer.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Countless fire feathers shot out, and the firebird under Zhu Tingtao's feet disappeared in an instant, all transformed into countless flaming feathers, covering the monsters with the rosy glow that illuminated the sky.
Zhu Tingtao clasped his hands together and slowly spread them out like a phoenix spreading its wings. Even though she was not a fairy, her posture was graceful, and all her fire feathers were surging like tides and sweeping like a gentle breeze.
Boom…
At this moment, all directions were on fire, and the terrifying temperature scorched the sky in an instant, as if the fire clouds reappeared.
The secret method of true fire practiced on Xianxia Island is none other than the Phoenix True Fire. When practiced to a high level, it can even rival the true fire emitted by the Phoenix itself. Zhu Tingtao's cultivation is extremely high, and although his level of cultivation is not as good as the true fire ignited by the Phoenix, it is not so easy to bear either.
After the true fire started burning, all kinds of weird screams and cries of pain continued to sound, but Zhu Tingtao's face changed slightly when he heard them, because many of the screams were from his familiar fellow disciples from Xianxia Island. Did he burn all his fellow disciples
The moment his mind was distracted, warning signs suddenly rose, and a chill rose behind him. Zhu Tingtao turned around and saw a scaleless snake opening its mouth and almost biting his neck. The outer layer of protective magic light seemed to be directly corroded, leaving a big hole.
'Oops!'
At the same moment when Zhu Tingtao was gathering his magical power to prepare for the attack, he felt something strange wrapped around his waist. Startled, he glanced and found golden light emanating from his waist.
Brush~
Zhu Tingtao disappeared from the spot in an instant and was pulled to a higher sky by Ji Yuan using the immortal rope.
