Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 31: The Phoenix Marrow Struggle

Views:

Luo Hongyan stared blankly at the water, unable to believe the truth she sensed.

Let alone Pang Jian.

Even a cultivator like Hong Tai who is at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, or even a stronger cultivator at a higher realm, would never be able to successfully refine the Phoenix Marrow!

At most, it means merging with the phoenix marrow to maintain one's spiritual immortality.

But that is just a higher level of "Heavenly Phoenix Divine Guard".

According to Luo Hongyan's understanding, the young man named Pang Jian was just a guy who had just entered the Qi Refining stage.

"strangeness… "

Although she had many doubts in her heart, when she realized that Pang Jian possessed the aura of the Heavenly Phoenix and felt that Pang Jian had refined a drop of phoenix marrow, she immediately regarded Pang Jian as a person who could not be ignored.

"call!"

The drop of phoenix marrow in the phoenix bone hurriedly rushed upwards when it saw Pang Jian riding a snake and Ouyang Duanhai getting closer and closer.

Ouyang Duanhai, who had been completely transformed, finally became a Heavenly Phoenix Divine Guard, transforming into a strange-looking blood-colored phoenix.

It clearly sensed that although there was a drop of phoenix marrow in the snake-riding boy's body, it was not of its kind.

However, it can refine the power in Pang Jian's body and turn it into nutrients to strengthen it.

The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Guard, whose wisdom was gradually awakening, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to seize the Phoenix Marrow first.

As a result, there were two people who wanted to obtain the Phoenix Marrow under the Black Water Pond.

Pang Jian and a Sky Phoenix Divine Guard rushed towards the top of the Phoenix Bone at the same time. The Sky Phoenix Divine Guard, who had completed his transformation, seemed to have a breakthrough in strength.

But its speed is still not as fast as Pang Jian riding the "Dark Anaconda".

"It really came towards me."

Luo Hongyan sighed, knowing that the drop of Phoenix Marrow was forced to finally invade Ning Yao's heart and transform Ning Yao into a Heavenly Phoenix Guard.

If there were no Ouyang Duanhai, no Pang Jian and the "Dark Anaconda" under his crotch, she would be happy to absorb this drop of phoenix marrow.

But now...

As the Phoenix marrow flew towards them, in the pools of water on both sides of the Phoenix bones, a young man riding a snake and a Heavenly Phoenix Guard were chasing the Phoenix closely.

"That's all."

Luo Hongyan shook her head bitterly, and with Ning Yao's body that she occupied, she rushed into the air like an arrow.

Under the dim sky, she flew high up from the top of the Phoenix Bone and headed straight towards the sky.

"call out!"

A cluster of mysterious amber liquid light flew out of the phoenix bone and shot straight towards her.

Suddenly, a strange phoenix cry was heard in the quiet valley.

The amber light changed miraculously and transformed into a graceful and bright phoenix, shooting towards "Ning Yao" with extreme sharpness.

“Crash!”

A python with black and white patterns suddenly shot out from the water, its pupils showing a look of madness as it pounced towards the Phoenix Marrow fearlessly.

A strange scene suddenly appeared in the air above the Black Water Pond.

"Ning Yao" soared straight into the sky, with a bright phoenix chasing it from below, and a giant python suddenly jumped out from below.

At the head of the python, a tall young man suddenly tore open his clothes on his chest, revealing a green lotus leaf covering his heart, and prepared to welcome the phoenix marrow to invade his heart.

Under the water, there was a blood shadow, still rapidly hitting the surface of the pool.

Around the Black Water Pond, there were only a number of "spiritual demons" floating in the air, looking at this spectacle with empty eyes.

They seemed at a loss, and the boy riding the snake in this scene seemed a little confused as well.

—Pang Jian didn’t know why the python suddenly went crazy.

But since the fight has already begun, he can't care less. He tries to use Jinyang's idea and take the so-called phoenix marrow with the lotus leaf.

At this moment, two different feelings appeared in his chest.

The crudely shaped bronze door pendant became increasingly hotter, so hot that his chest felt as if it was on fire.

The lotus leaf that he had snatched from Jinyang became colder and colder, allowing him to remain sober and calm at such a tense moment.

Above the pool, "Ning Yao" who was heading high into the sky slowly stopped, and her eyes were always on the ground below.

She is Luo Hongyan.

As long as the situation goes wrong in the future, she can leave Ning Yao's body in the form of a soul at any time.

She can fly several miles away in an instant with her soul.

Staring closely at the Phoenix Marrow and Pang Jian who was facing the impact of the Phoenix Marrow, she prepared for the worst.

At worst, she would abandon Ning Yao's body, no longer covet the Phoenix Marrow, and escape with the lightness and ethereality of her soul.

Another strange phoenix cry suddenly sounded!

The drop of phoenix marrow that flew away from the phoenix bone seemed to be pulled by a magnetic force, or as if its wings were held down, and suddenly flew backwards towards Pang Jian's chest!

Pang Jian immediately opened his chest, revealing his icy green lotus leaf, waiting for Feng Sui to fall into his trap.

“As expected!”

He suddenly became a little nervous, thinking that if Jinyang was wrong, he would turn into a monster like Ouyang Duanhai.

"call out!"

The amber light in the shape of a bright phoenix really shot over, but did not fall on the lotus leaf that Jinyang regarded as a treasure.

Instead, the bronze door pendant disappeared directly into Pang Jian’s chest!

This time, Pang Jian, who was waiting attentively, clearly saw where the drop of phoenix marrow went.

From his angle, he couldn't see that the bronze door quietly opened a gap when the phoenix marrow escaped.

He only knew that the phoenix marrow in the form of an ice crystal phoenix disappeared into the bronze plate.

The phoenix marrow was instantly sucked in by that door!

At this moment, the bronze door pendant cooled down rapidly, and the "Dark Anaconda" that was overwhelmed by madness also cooled down.

The "Dark Anaconda" that broke the fear in his heart, when he woke up, he found that it had jumped out of the black water pool.

It was still rushing upwards due to inertia, gazing at the dark sky in the body of the "Black and White King Python", looking at a scene that was completely different from that of the Fifth Realm.

Fear suddenly appeared in its eyes, and it thought of the terrible existence that had set up restrictions on the Black Water Pond.

The man had warned it that when it left the Black Water Pond, it would die.

It was in mid-air, twisting its limbs in a panic and falling desperately towards the water.

It knew very well that the man's warning was no joke.

It firmly believed that this would come true, and it must escape back to the Black Water Pond as soon as possible to avoid death.

“Wow!”

Ouyang Duanhai, who had transformed into the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Guard, broke out of the water!

Before leaving the Black Water Pond, it saw everything that had happened before and knew that Pang Jian had obtained the most precious Phoenix Marrow.

Seeing the python carrying Pang Jian falling into the black water pool, it abandoned its body the moment it completely left the water.

A strange phoenix bird, deep red as blood, with feathers like drops of blood, flew out from the body it had taken over.

When it left that body, Ouyang Duanhai's already dead body was blown into powder by the wind.

This blood-red phoenix bird kept shrinking, like a line of blood shooting towards Pang Jian's heart.

It was under the water and did not see the drop of phoenix marrow, and it finally disappeared into the bronze door pendant on Pang Jian’s chest.

It also thought that the phoenix marrow had penetrated into Pang Jian's heart, and that it was taking Pang Jian as a target for possession.

"call out!"

The blood-colored phoenix transformed by the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Guard also suddenly disappeared into the bronze door after the drop of phoenix marrow.

"Another one?"

Pang Jian looked down at his chest in astonishment.

“Plop!”

The python fell back into the black water pool.

After entering the water, the "Dark Anaconda" suddenly realized that it was still alive. It left the Black Water Pond in the body of the "Black and White King Python", and strictly speaking it was actually dead.

—But it is still afraid of that person’s prohibition!

"Go to the place where you and I first met."

Suddenly, it heard Pang Jian giving orders in his heart again, and it also saw Hong Tai rushing to the surface of the pool.

It chose to obey Pang Jian, and without waiting for Hong Tai to adjust direction, the man and the python rushed to the bottom of the pool again.

“Plop!”

"Ning Yao" also fell into the water from a high altitude.

Hong Tai finally broke out of the water.

He gritted his teeth in anger and watched the man and the python quickly escape back to the bottom of the pool.

—He worked in vain again!

"Girl from the Ning family, you are still alive?"

Hong Tai, who had nowhere to vent his anger, looked at Ning Yao, who was also floating on the water like him, with a fierce light in his eyes: "All my people are dead, you shouldn't be alive."

Luo Hongyan, who had lost her phoenix marrow, looked at Hong Tai, the wimp, and said coldly with disgust: "It's ridiculous that a bunch of old people are being played around by a brat who is still wet behind the ears."

"You even let someone take away your own spiritual beast. How dare you talk to me?"

After making a few sarcastic remarks, she went towards the edge of the pond, unwilling to stay in the water.

"What kind of divine object is that bronze door-shaped pendant?"

She kept thinking in her mind that the bronze door pendant had shown magical images twice, so she did not dare to go deep into the pool.

The "Dark Anaconda" knew of her existence, and she was not completely confident in fighting the ferocious creature from the fifth realm that was about to transform into a dragon underwater.

More importantly, after Pang Jian swallowed the phoenix marrow and the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Guard through the bronze plate, he showed no signs of confusion.

It was also unlikely that she would find an opportunity to subdue Pang Jian at the bottom of the pool and snatch the phoenix marrow from him.

"You asked for death yourself, so you can't blame me."

Knowing that he could not catch up with the "Black and White King Python" underwater, Hong Tai slowly came towards who he thought was "Ning Yao", intending to kill "Ning Yao" here to prevent the news of his severe setback from spreading.

By then, not only will the seven major families laugh at him, but he will also lose face in front of the Dark Ghost.

"How could I blame you? I didn't intend to let you live."

Luo Hongyan came ashore with coldness in her eyes.

"Spiritual Evils" like Luo Meng appeared one by one from the corners of the pond, whistling in the air above the water, and appeared behind her one by one: "You are at the level of Marrow Cleansing Realm. After you refine it into Spiritual Evil, it should be more useful."

"You are not Ning Yao!"

Hongtai reacted suddenly.

"Since you come from the Dark Ghost, I would like to see how many secrets of this underworld organization are in your soul." As Luo Hongyan's mind was turning, a spiritual evil flew out from the water and drilled into Hong Tai's body.

Hong Tai felt cold all over and his consciousness became confused. He suddenly couldn't tell who he was.
