Dance Of The Phoenix
186. Retaliation or Survival?

Gu Yuena was still enduring under the endless pressure of Geng Ji. Compared to fighting Bai Youzhe, Gu Yuena did not exert her entire strength and destroyed several typhoons trapping her from all directions.

Gravitational pressure is reduced when a typhoon is blown to pieces. The red light spread out like waves and struck Geng Ji along with his shield. He half-kneeled down while enduring the pressure that was about to blow him away.

Until when Geng Ji saw a fine crack in the shield, the red light stopped and was replaced by Gu Yuena who placed her staff on the shoulder of Geng Ji.

"If this is a battlefield, you die." Gu Yuena said calmly.

Ji's gang chuckled. He did not feel that Gu Yuena was moving from a distance of 50 meters after releasing the pressure, but suddenly it was already in front of him and placed his pointy-tipped stick over his shoulder—near the neck.

"I lost." Geng Ji laughed lethargicly. He stood up as Gu Yuena's wand was pulled back, he then kept two of his weapons that were inflicting subtle damage. Gu Yuena is very strong.

However, Gu Yuena was already very strong, why was she still inferior to Li Hua? How powerful was Li Hua really?

In the distance there, Yun Qiao and Jin Xiao cheered in excitement for successfully defending their treasures. The two stared at the pale Huang Jingtian with a sneer.

They looked more like school teenagers enjoying tournaments than the ruler of a palace.

On the other hand, Su Churan relaxed her legs and shoulders until Chu Xin supported her. The two hurriedly approached Gu Yuena showing concern.

More precisely, showing worry to the losing side, Geng Ji. As a guardian, he was actually pressed back until his weapon suffered a fine damage. That's really unimaginable.

However, Geng Ji did not look disappointed or angry. He smiled instead, further admiring Gu Yuena. "King Bai doesn't have the wrong view. Queen, thank you for giving me confidence. In the future, this king will honor the Queen's orders. With the holy fire that the Queen has, it's no big deal to face Linghun Palace."

Gu Yuena used holy fire very well without meddling with the demon phoenix. Although the embodiment of his holy flame was a phoenix, he did not use demonic power to suppress Geng Ji. He actually used holy fire.

Gu Yuena nodded briefly, then showed a thinly delighted smile. "The Gang King looked up to me too highly. Even if I have a holy fire, it is not necessarily able to face the Queen of Linghun Palace. I still need a lot of practice."

Geng Ji smiled bitterly. Even Gu Yuena was not confident against Li Hua. How could he fight? Although he was the strongest existence, but in front of Bai Youzhe, Li Hua, and Yang Xinyuan, he was only a slightly larger ant. Now there was Gu Yuena who defeated him ....

There used to be Gu Ying, Bai Yue, and Li Hua as the strongest and famous existences in the Mitian Plains. There was another one who was stronger than them, but no one knew of his figure and whereabouts.

Yet now Gu Ying and Bai Yue were dead, making Li Hua the strongest. Beneath him were Bai Youzhe and Yang Xinyuan who still did not know who would take second place. Underneath it was automatically Gu Yuena. Theothers? Just pass.

But in the future, do not know what kind of changes will be, especially after the war as a determination of winning and losing.

Gu Yuena also left with Chu Xin. Su Churan followed behind him to talk about something important, while Geng Ji returned to the pavilion. The man returned as authoritative as before, as if nothing had happened.

After all, it was not so embarrassing to lose at the hands of a tyrant who had barely destroyed the world.

Gu Yuena returned to her room, then sat on the bed to rest. While Su Churan followed and prepared to say many things.

"You really put Childe as the leader of the frontline troops? You said before that we should protect her. But now he's on the front line."

"Then, do I have to pamper him as a good youngest brother? This is war. Since this is war, then the best way to protect is to make it stronger to fight. His holy fire must be developed, or he will become an emperor like the old man." Gu Yuena said with sarcasm.

Su Churan sighed. "Now, he insists on seeing you. Since you have placed him as a leader, of course he wants to become stronger. Since his talent was not good, he was not even as strong as an ordinary disciple from Tianshuang Palace. Many considered her, since she was the queen's cousin, then she had the privilege regardless of how bad her talent was. Even though he has developed well, his development is still not enough to be on the front lines."

"Pure element is something that is difficult to train, I even need time to master my own strength. However, after being trained well, his strength would be comparable to effort and blood being sacrificed. So, just focus on training him well."

"What about Childe who insisted on seeing you?"

Gu Yuena was silent for a while with a frown. His feelings fell, as his cultivation time was pushed back again. He still had to enter the nirvana stage, what a complicated one it was!

"Let him come." Gu Yuena finally let Childe come.

Su Churan immediately let Childe enter the palace occupied by Gu Yuena. The gleaming golden gilded man as well as the striking blood red irises. He is very handsome with smooth and energetic facial features. He was in his late 20s like Bai Youzhe where a mature man showed his true looks and good looks.

However, in Gu Yuena's eyes, he was only a child despite being slightly older than her. He did not forget Childe's unattractive and conspicuous figure beside Alfonso.

"Why did you meet me?" Gu Yuena asked coldly.

Childe looked at her cousin's sister, then let out a long sigh. "Your Majesty, why did you choose me?"

"Simple, because you have a holy fire in your body. The Pure Elements Alliance needed someone with pure elements to join. You were the first member I knew, so I put you in charge."

Childe narrowed her eyes, dissatisfied with Gu Yuena's careless reply. He lowered his head and said, "Please take that position away from me, I can't take it."

Gu Yuena was so fierce that it made Su Churan by the side shocked. Even in front of the enemy, he will not be this. At most showed a cold smile before killing with a lazy look. However, in front of his humble cousin, he had actually become a lion.

"Your Majesty, I want a more acceptable reason." Childe was brave enough to ask Gu Yuena this.

Su Churan shook her head in disbelief. The people from the Wyvernia imperial family, were all fearless and insane! Doesn't Childe know who she's dealing with or intentionally?

Gu Yuena's face grew increasingly unsightly. He stood up, then appeared in front of Childe in one blink of an eye. However, Childe did not move out of place at all or looked surprised.

The corner of Gu Yuena's lips lifted. "You want to know?"

Su Churan felt there would be a second Vale here. He also took a long breath.

"You have to accept the position I've given you, it means I force you to have that qualification without tolerance. Your talent is so bad compared to your brothers, aren't you ashamed? In fact, I was painstakingly saving you from that attack, is that how you return the favor?"

Childe was startled, then looked at Gu Yuena boldly. "I'm so grateful that you saved me. I've been trying. However, compared to the others, my lag was far worse than the worst."

Childe had only risen to level 5 recently, how could she not be depressed? At a time when everyone his age was already at tier 6, he was still one rank behind.

"That means your hard work is lacking." Gu Yuena sneered. "You've even lost to the boy who was poisoned yet can still rise higher than you. It seems living in the palace makes you feel comfortable and pampered, I misjudged you."

Childe froze. He clenched his fists. How can he be comfortable and pampered? Both in this place and the empire, he had always been the lowest and forgotten figure. It's not flashy. Apart from his handsome face, there was nothing else interesting.

Gu Yuena snorted. "Know that, I won't plan on saving you for a weapon of revenge. Linghun Palace killed your entire family, tapis looks like you're more cold-hearted than Alfonso and don't care about the deaths around you. If not to return the favor, then revenge. You don't have the qualifications to do both."

Childe's getting depressed. His fists clenched even tighter. He continued to complain because of his poor talent. She was desperate for revenge and owed Gu Yuena a debt of gratitude, but her talent hindered her. He has worked hard, but there are always obstacles around him. What else does he have to do?

"If you want to stay here, then practice it right, or it's better to kill yourself. Here's how ...." Gu Yuena threw an ordinary dagger and fell before Childe. "If you want to survive, take it and kill the creatures on the front line in tomorrow's war. If not, stab yourself using it."

Gu Yuena's way was extreme. Even Su Churan who was watching instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Go to the front line and kill the death creatures? Isn't that just suicide!

Gu Yuena continued, "Prove yourself, or I will definitely not let go of your soul even though it is dead."

Childe was afraid of Gu Yuena, and hurriedly picked up the dagger on the floor. He was afraid of death, and although he was pessimistic about his own strength, he was not a coward. He always tries to the maximum even though the results do not reach the maximum.

Although he could not take revenge, he had to at least survive!

Childe grasped the dagger and left after greeting him once. Sensing his departure, Gu Yuena displayed a satisfied smile.

"What are you planning?" ask Su Churan.

"As I said, he has no qualifications for revenge or revenge. However, he can survive. See how he can survive tomorrow, don't help him."

Su Churan was goosebumps and could not say anything more. He watched Gu Yuena who went to the room to rest. His eyes showed a strange feeling.

Su Churan thought, Gu Yuena is educating Childe, just like the way she is educating Vale.

Only, the method used is different. Gu Yuena was creating another monster through her own hands.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The next day, the borders of the Yi Empire were again filled with blood. Weapons and magic continued to roam around the battlefield full of bones and corpses.

Gu Yuena still did not join the war. He was in his room at Tianshuang Palace, refining the power of a true phoenix to pass through nirvana.

While on the other hand, Su Churan brought Childe to the frontline along with the other Tianshuang Palace troops as reinforcements. Su Churan only watched from the fortress, ensuring the safety of Childe who was at the forefront with one small dagger in her hand.

The weakness of a mortal is pure. Childe had not used the holy fire at first and had only made defensive moves from the death row along with the dagger in her hand. He was too surprised. Because of that, he would die at any time.

Su Churan grew more agitated when she saw Childe fall among the pile of corpses and was frightened. He was hit by several dead bodies and protected from death creatures. While the creature of death does not hesitate to kill anyone he sees.

The creatures of death are very powerful. Childe has only entered level 5 and is not stable. He had only managed to drop a few, but he was already covered in wounds and was stricken by dead bodies many times. Su Churan was getting less and less willing to look at it.

Gu Yuena, is your way going to work?
