Dance Of The Phoenix
105. New Storm (2)

The center of Tianlong City served as the last defense after the city was breached by death creatures and witches. Residents have been evacuated outside the city which is still relatively safe during their war. While the disciples who had been specially trained as elite troops, now had to stand outside the fortress to fight the enemy directly.

Death creatures cannot die easily. Each killed, they would come back to life from the wisps of mist thanks to the magic of the magicians behind them. While the witches were not seriously injured despite being in a fight for a long time.

This lowered the fighting spirit of the palace troops. Although the helaer had given support in hindsight, their natural energy was unable to withstand the many death creatures and witches at once in the time when they had to lose many comrades.

The existence of butterflies scattered like beautiful insects that perched on top of flowers caused the focus of the soldiers to be shifted. The creature of death has no blood, but witches have it. It would be a rare blood butterfly food and clearly make the bloodsucking group excited.

In just an instant, the scattered butterflies began attacking, launching their small bodies and avoiding the obstruction from the creatures of death. When one of the butterflies perched on the body of one of the witches, the other butterflies shrouded and sucked his blood dry.

The witch screamed in pain without being able to resist. He enveloped his body with magic, causing the butterfly to disappear into a magic grain just like that. However, it does not rule out the possibility that other butterflies will give up. The witch was shrouded more ferociously until it formed a cocoon and dried to death.

It was seen by other witches, making them wary of one creature that perched on their bodies. Their magic, previously only used to control the life-and-death of death creatures, is now used to destroy thousands of butterflies that attack mercilessly. They are easy to kill, but difficult to target because they are too fast.

In an instant, the battlefield was enveloped in a storm of blood-sucking butterflies accompanied by other monsters summoned by summoners. It was then that the assassins got a chance to sneak in and attack the magician from within the monster-created fog.

While the palace forces dealt with the death creatures, the guardians used the formation to control the terrain situation and the healers took turns to provide support, assassins, mages, and elite hunters stormed the butterfly-infested witch.

This was a combination power between the 7 professions where the alchemists within the palace provided medicines and treated disciples brought back by the guardians and healers.

At least they still have hope of winning.

However, it seemed as if that hope was faltered by the arrival of the crashing black fog filling the battlefield. All the blood butterflies were smashed to pieces, as well as the other monsters that were repelled to the point of causing the previously conducive battlefield to be extremely chaotic.

The witches ferociously used his magic to kill more than two disciples. The magic was swung freely and horribly, creating a huge storm on the battlefield until it was fatal to the supportive healer.

"A good strategy. Unfortunately, no matter how good a strategy is, it still has to submit to absolute power." One of the witches said in a haughty tone. His smile seemed extremely wild and evil as his knees were about to be bent to salute a figure of black fog that was coming.

The black fog stopped in midair, displaying the figure of a black masked man in a plain black robe that looked mysterious. His gaze had no emotions, making it difficult for one to guess what was on his mind.

He has been recuperating for a full 5 months. It's time not to waste too much time. Since Bai Youzhe was not around, it was better for him to take the opportunity after observing for quite a while.

"He ...." Gu Yuena who was observing from a distance the palace clenched her fists.

The shadow of his teacher's death reverberated, making his emotions mixed. Even though the one who killed his teacher and destroyed Yuansu Palace was a clone, it was still that person who was the mastermind behind the destruction of Yuansu Palace.

The man should have died when he sacrificed himself.

A shadow of anger encompassed Gu Yuena. His red irises became much colder than usual. There was no smile on his face, only anger.

"I'll kill you."

Gu Yuena had been overwhelmed by anger. The soul force in his body spread out, even surprising Su Churan who had been guarding him from acting rashly.

"Xiao Yena." Su Churan walked over, then saw the presence of masked men on the battlefield that caused many troops to be suppressed by the enemy. Even the butterflies were thrown out.

"I thought so," he murmured, then sighed. Looking towards Gu Yuena, then grabbed her arm. "Remember one thing, don't be rash. You're not just bringing yourself."

Gu Yuena's cold gaze changed instantly. He returned Su Churan's gaze. "There are some things that are out of my control." As Xiao Hei said, soul force devoured his mind slowly. He doesn't know when to do something bad or not.

Before Su Churan could say anything to uncover her worries, one of the palace disciples came hastily to call Gu Yuena.

"Miss Gu .. she's here." The student said gasping and panicking. There were several wounds all over his body when flying straight for Gu Yuena. The elders are busy at the moment.

Gu Yuena nodded in response and was about to leave. Su Churan hurriedly walked by his side.

"I'll help you" he said.

Gu Yuena took a quick look, then nodded with a smile. They took out wings on their backs, flying into the air precisely in the direction where the battle was.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The appearance of Gu Yuena and Su Churan in the middle of the battle added to the fighting spirit of the palace troops that had previously faltered. Two blood-red and pink silhouettes flashed through the air, directly facing off against the terrifying black figure.

As soon as the red magic smoldering in the air like flowers bloomed, they could not help but be amazed. However, as the situation was at war, they had to refocus on the enemy to prove themselves that they would not lose to artificial beings.

Alternately, Gu Yuena and Su Churan launched an attack towards the masked man. Attack after attack is blocked easily. When the man took out some elongated magic in the form of condensed soul power, Su Churan had no way of fending it off until Gu Yuena had to block it directly.

The flying blade in his hand blocked the attack in time. The other blades flew out forming a sizable magic pattern, attacking the man from all directions and creating a large and thin net like a blade.

The man easily passed through it unscathed. His gaze was fixed on the flying blade in Gu Yuena's hand intently.

It was the flying blade belonging to the Linghun Palace that was missing. Since when did Gu Yuena have them?

The power integrated with the phoenix inside was perfectly matched with Gu Yuena. If the two were one, it would create a great power that exceeded its power and the crescent moon.

The man chose to overcome Su Churan first by giving her an attack. Evading Gu Yuena, and targeting Su Churan to the point of overwhelming the woman to death.

The strength of the masked man was very strong. With only a few black mist coming out of his hands, Su Churan retreated and became a collection of butterflies as self-defense.

Gu Yuena did not miss the slightest chance. He used his knife blade swiftly, forming a huge magic in the air and summoning a phoenix that was emitting a fierce flame.

A fiery phoenix appeared, flapping its wings beautifully. It charged ferociously towards the masked man who was busy targeting Su Churan. The masked man immediately regained consciousness, then disappeared from his place to escape the phoenix attack.

Su Churan returned to her original form, then went over to Gu Yuena. However, it did not manage to do well when some magicians stormed it on the orders of the masked man.

Su Churan dodged their attacks while flapping her flaming butterfly wings. He could not approach Gu Yuena, as it would make Gu Yuena engage in a battle against the witch. He had to finish these witches first.

"Don't think I'm too good to kill people." The annoyed Su Churan, instantly pulled out her sword right then and dealt the witch quickly.

Gu Yuena on the other hand was focused on controlling the phoenix. Both of his irises were glowing with a deep red color, while his hands were full of blood-like red magic. Looking at the masked man who kept dodging, Gu Yuena grew even more annoyed.

Why has that person not shown his attack since earlier. Did he intend to exhaust Gu Yuena's entire energy?

Suddenly the masked man slid towards her. He came near her and said something.

"Are you still able to calm down after your teacher's death? Do it well."

His words made Gu Yuena angry. At a glance, Gu Yuena's red irises turned pitch-black with something passing before her eyes. Something he didn't see, but changed the look of his eyes when possessed.

"You don't understand." Gu Yuena swung the knife in her hand. The blade that was full of fire power to the point of emitting a fiery red radiance, clashed directly with the man's sickle sword.

His robe had been torn off from the scythe incision of the masked man, yet it did not injure him. Gu Yuena was actually getting immersed in her own battle until her attacks grew more fierce and powerful.

The more often Gu Yuena made an attack, the stronger the attack she gave. Although the weapon was only a small blade, it was strong enough to handle the scythe of the large and dangerous masked man.

Gu Yuena stomped her knife along with magic that spread like a spreading pointed thread. That made the masked man have to retreat and avoid the magic.

Gu Yuena said, "You know how to take me to the palace is wrong. Why are you doing this?"

"Because I want to." The masked man answered casually while launching an attack. When the distance with Gu Yuena was close, he continued his sentence, "By removing all support outside, then you will only have Linghun Palace as home."

"Omong empty." Gu Yuena disappeared from her place, then sent out a phoenix to create a blaze in the air that exploded like a bomb.

The masked man disappeared to dodge, then appeared with a scythe thrown like a boomerang. The scythe movement was very quickly directed at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena dodged to the side while looking at how the scythe turned into the hands of the masked man before it finally re-launched like a boomerang. Gu Yuena dodged it once more, but this time she did so while using magic as an attack.

"It's been quite a fool." The masked man began to get serious, it felt like time began to narrow.

Gu Yuena took out all the flying knives she had. Both of his hands held flying blades, while the rest of the flying blades lined up forming a circle behind him. The tip of the knife was pointed directly at the masked man.

A fierce battle ensued. The two rays that shot through the air and clashed against each other created a tremendous pressure for the people down there. Each time the two exchanged blows, explosions appeared in several places due to the missed attack as well as some explosive fragments coming from the phoenix. In fact, phoenix feathers made of fire scattered in that place like rain.

The movements of the masked man very quickly overwhelmed Gu Yuena for a while. He carried his flying blade higher into the sky, then made numerous clones of flying blades that shot out like whirlwinds of a typhoon.

The masked man narrowed his eyes. The red magic around the blade was extremely strong and so corrosive. If you touch it, you will definitely get a heavy wound.

Therefore, the masked man no longer cared about his offerings. His body was wrapped in a dense black fog, before finally receiving a magic vortex attack with one of his hands.

A dragon shadow figure appeared, roaring loudly creating deafening sound waves. The sound waves caused Gu Yuena's magic to shatter into pieces. The flying blade flung straight towards Gu Yuena, immediately captured before disappearing in midair.

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes. It was a dragon. That person ... has dragon blood!

The owner of the tier 9 dragon blood, was simply not someone Gu Yuena could defeat easily. Gu Yuena's strength was only level 8. If the current Gu Yuena was Gu Yuena during the inter-palace meeting, he would have already been seriously injured by the counterattack.

"Damn it!" Gu Yuena should not doubt the rumors about the dragon blood. There really were three dragon bloods, whereas a phoenix blood was only one? Is this world crazy!

The appearance of the dragon who was the leader of the Linghun Hall was so world-shaking. The expended aura suppressed the entire palace army and awakened the spirit of a witch. In an instant, the condition of the battlefield was getting worse for the Tianshuang Palace party.

The man's soul force spread out, making the death row stronger and killing more disciples. The healers were exhausted and started to fall down due to the counterattack. This has a huge impact on the army.

Gu Yuena did not remain silent. He immediately flew towards the dragon, then fused three flying blades to form a long sword blade accompanied by an inherent red magic.

His hand swung swiftly to injure the attacking dragon in front of him. His figure flickered in tandem with the magic being cast.

The red magic in Gu Yuena's hand spread out, restraining the dragon's terrain which caused the palace troops to be restrained down there. Since the other party's strength was too strong to withstand, Gu Yuena could only bring out the entire soul force in his body to sever all control of the death beast.

While the dragon was in a non-human form, he could not use his full soul force so Gu Yuena could make use of it.

One of Gu Yuena's hands released a black mist of soul power, directed at the death squad while the other held back the dragon magic. In an instant, the death squad thrashed out at Gu Yuena's exposure to black fog. They became extremely chaotic and uncontrollable, causing them to be easy to kill.

On the other hand, the witches started to get confused. Their soul force was not as great as Gu Yuena, so it was no longer able to control the death army.

No one knew, how much strength Gu Yuena had deployed. The woman remained in place for a while without being able to move. His condition is very vulnerable.

Two forces are being unleashed simultaneously. While he had coated his body with immortality magic so as not to injure the baby. But that alone is not enough. His energy was drained so quickly only to destroy the death squad and hold the leader of the Linghun Hall together.

When the death beast was left half of a total of thousands, Gu Yuena cut off her control just like that and focused on diverting the dragon attacks. Merely, his remaining strength was not enough to make him have to step aside far enough to dodge the attack.

The dragon returns to its original human form. The man looked doubtful for a moment, before finally taking out the sickle blade in his hand.

Gu Yuena's ability to control an army was already terrifying. In the past he could only control them as a trial and error and still had a loophole to seize by him. However this time, just like Gu Yuena had trained in soul force specifically.

The woman managed to cause many death creatures to be smashed to pieces. The concentration of those witches must have been disrupted.

He has to finish it quickly.

Gu Yuena covered her fatigue with a normal and cold attitude as if nothing had happened. His stomach was uncomfortable, but he could not leave at a time like this.

"Miss!" Chu Xin shouted from below, so worried.

Gu Yuena looked at him at a glance, then looked towards the masked man back. "It's better to finish sooner what you want." He's tired already. She did not care about Tianshuang Palace, but the baby had to survive.

Chu Xin is down there evil. He looked towards Su Churan who was busy overcoming three witches at once. He quickly flapped his wings, about to protect Gu Yuena from the attack of the masked man who was hurtling very quickly.

He could see Gu Yuena was no longer able to cast magic. He had to save Gu Yuena!

Gu Yuena had already prepared an immortality magic to make a final defense before ending the battle. This might cause more casualties, but the Linghun Hall should be stopped.

He raised his hand which gave off a deep red light like a stream of blood. The magic was magnified as the masked man slid towards him.

Once the distance between himself and the masked man was close, his magic immediately activated and created a huge explosion from the air right with the impact of the masked man's attack.

Chu Xin who was about to take Gu Yuena away was unable to continue flying and was blown away by the explosion.

"Miss!" his screams as he crashed so far were carried away by a huge whirlwind.

Su Churan was aware of the approaching danger. He looked at the origin of the explosion, his eyes widened perfectly.

"Xiao Yumina!" He was just about to unleash the three witches, but a vortex so large that it blew through until the entire flow of his power came to a halt right then and there. He crashed like an ordinary human without magic, falling to the ground with an internal wound that made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even a Su Churan who had a peak cultivation of 7 could not withstand the energy vortex as well as the red light that was so terrifying that it was seriously injured. The palace troops who previously struggled to kill witches and death creatures also crashed and fell. Some died into dried up corpses.

It was a nightmare for humans. The hot and deadly atmosphere made both sides experience endless chaos as if they had lost their minds. Shouts everywhere, fear everywhere.

Even powerful witches could not help it until it chose to retreat after subconsciously not seeing the whereabouts of their leader.

Both Gu Yuena and the masked man, disappeared at the same time, leaving the battlefield chaos full of death aura.
