Phoenix Destroyer
77. Delayed

The sound of wild beasts roaring from behind the trees.

Not long after the sound of a loud object collision was heard followed by a thumping sound. Thick smoke rising into the air blocked vision.

A beast rose from the ruins of a tree. The ten foot tall ferocious beast roared furiously and ran to attack again.

Kong Li clenched his golden hand and also swung his fist.

The two forces collided with each other and produced a powerful explosive force.

Faintly one could hear the sound of cracks.

Booms!

When the dust settled, Kong Li was seen still standing firmly.

The pseudo-level 5-shaped beast Bison was already lying on the ground. His head was crushed at some point.

Feng Mo jumped down from the top of the tree.

"There's a signal in the North, let's go. Maybe someone needs help."

"okay."

Both of them flew towards the North immediately.

After a while they heard the sounds of fierce fighting and the shouting sounds of some people.

The two looked from the sky, a small group of sect disciples who were being roamed by dozens of ferocious beasts. Their heads were barely visible from the ground due to the denseness of the ferocious beasts. Feng Mo wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't looked over.

Feng Mo was surprised, how could they provoke so many ferocious beasts?

Both did not dare to approach.

"Senior Zhu, we can't keep going like this! If we don't escape soon, we'll die here! The beast is growing!"

"I know." Not that they don't want to but they can't leave. There's no way to escape.

They had fought for a long time and had almost consumed the entire spiritual energy in the body.

None of the five of them still had much strength to fight the ferocious beasts one by one while paving the way for escape.

Their talismans and spiritual tools had also been depleted to save themselves from the siege of ferocious beasts.

Each of them was exhausted. Cold sweat soaks all over the body. Their hands trembled slightly from being overwhelmed.

The ferocious beasts that surrounded them were not only from tier 5, but also many from tier 4 down. They had spent a lot of effort to kill a tier 5 ferocious beast before.

Attack after attack was thrown to kill the ferocious beasts, but the ferocious beasts that came were even more numerous than they had killed.

Zhu Jinrui, as the leader of these five people was a little tense from having to be always vigilant. To protect himself and his juniors. Then it should be wary of the attacks of the ferocious beasts around it.

Suddenly a beast stood up from within the crowd, its true and towering body covering the sky.

"Revelation!"

Zhu Jinrui's pupils shrank. That big shadow will fall on him!

Suddenly something flashed apathetic and crashed into the ferocious beast.

Booms!

An explosion shattered the hand of the beast,

a roar of pain immediately echoed. Sparks of fire emerged from the explosion and splashed everywhere.

Zhu Jinrui retreated to avoid being affected.

But it doesn't stop there. One by one something descended from the sky. Like a meteor falling from the sky.

Booms!

Booms!

Booms!

Explosions were everywhere, some hit the ferocious beasts directly, and some fell directly onto the ground.

Spark fire and burn wherever it falls.

The beasts immediately dodged in panic.

There was a ferocious beast that was hit by sparks, immediately the flames grazed and burned its body.

"Senior Zhu!" This is an opportunity to escape.

Zhu Jinrui also understood. "Let's go!"

Taking the opportunity when the ferocious beasts were in chaos, Zhu Jinrui led the other four to sneak amongst the ferocious beasts.

The beasts collided with each other in chaos. The thick smoke and dust scattered everywhere made it a little difficult for them to leave immediately. But they did not give up, while protecting their breathing, they tried to move between the legs of the beasts

The roars of pain of the beasts were so loud that they made their ears buzz.

The flames enveloped dozens of ferocious beasts at once.

Among the ferocious beasts that were on fire, the five of them hurriedly tried to find a way out. They also tried to avoid the fire.

When they almost made it out of the siege—

"Let's!"

One of them fell. And something dragged him back to the circle of fire.

"Yinji!"

A young man was about to catch up but Zhu Jinrui immediately stopped him. "Pulse the others away! I will save Xue Jingyi!"

"No! I'll do it myself!"

"Xue Zixuan's! You're hurt! Qin jiu's! Yang Xin's! Bring her!"

The other two people came to pull and drag Xue Zixuan away.

"No! Jingy! I'll save Jingyi!"

Zhu Jinrui returned to where Xue Jingyi had fallen before. When he returned, he saw Xue Jingyi who had fainted from being entangled by a tier 5 Piton.

Zhu Jinrui did not have time to take out her magic weapon when the Piton opened its mouth wide about to eat Xue Jingyi.

Zhu Jinrui's face paled.

Suddenly a fire arrow shot past Xue Jingyi's head and into Piton's mouth.

Booms!

The piton's mouth exploded. Blood and minced meat splashed onto Xue Jingyi's pale face.

Piton floundering in pain.

Meanwhile Zhu Jinrui immediately pulled Xue Jingyi from the tail winding of the Piton and carried her away.

The bodies of the ferocious beasts fell one after another in the circle of fire.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Black smoke is soaring.

But even so there were still one or two ferocious beasts that were still not completely dead, if they did not leave immediately, they might not survive.

The agonizing roar of the ferocious beast that had escaped sounded from afar.

A great fire burned everything, the trees around also burned. Zhu Jinrui had no choice, the last spiritual energy in the body was used to use the flying sword to exit the fire region.

Zhu Jinrui flew towards the other fleeing direction.

Two people suddenly appeared, None other than Feng Mo and Kong Li.

Zhu Jinrui was immediately on guard, she was protecting the faint Xue Jingyi behind her body. "I don't know who this fellow daoist is?"

"If you want to leave, you must first destroy the woman's clothes!"

"What do you mean?!" Zhu Jinrui was shocked and angry.

Feng Mo did not care. "The woman's clothes have been sprinkled with the powder of the beast tug, if you don't destroy it immediately, even if you escape to the end of the forest, the beast will still catch up to you."

Zhu Jinrui pale. "How is it possible? Why didn't I kiss her?"

"It's a colorless and odorless powder, and it only works when exposed to sweat."

"Senior Zhu!"

"Yinji!"

Three others soon followed.

Feng Mo and Kong Li stepped aside slightly.

Zhu Jinrui immediately gave Xue Jingyi a faint look at her brother. "Change Jingyi's clothes, hurry! There was a powder of beast tugging on his clothes!"

"What?!"

"How can you?!"

"Who did it?!"

The three men shouted in disbelief. How could there be a beast-pulling powder on them?!

Xue Zixuan immediately picked up Xue Jingyi and brought her twin brother behind the tree while the others were wary.

Yang Xin, a female cultivator in the group immediately noticed the presence of two strangers. "Have you two saved us?"

Zhu Jinrui also regained her senses. "Thank you for saving us, we will not forget this saving grace."

Kong Li immediately spoke up, "Taoist is polite, it just so happens that we are not far from here when we see the beacon you guys are lighting."

"I am Zhu Jinrui, we are from the Tianying Sect."

"The Mo family name, Mo Kong. This is my little brother, Mo Li."

Xue Zixuan came out with Xue Jingyi in her arms. Xue Jingyi had changed into a new outfit.

Kong Li was slightly surprised, the reason was that when he first saw their whereabouts, this person named Xue Jingyi was dressed like a man. If not for Feng Mo shouting this-that 'woman' from the start, he wouldn't have known that this person was a woman.

"What about the robe? Did you burn it?"

Xue Zixuan shook her head. "I left it behind, let the beasts be interested, so that we can leave."

"You're right, let's go first."

They left in a hurry from the region and only stopped when they reached a place where they felt safe.

Kong Li offered them healing pills. And they also took turns meditating to recharge the spiritual energy.

"Uhuk! Uhuk!" Xue Jingyi woke up from her stupor. Seeing the unfamiliar place and everyone surviving, he felt relieved.

"Jingyi, are you okay?" Xue Zixuan propped up her twin brother to sit down.

"It's okay, I'm fine. What about you guys?"

"Yes, it's okay. Fortunately there were these two people who saw our emergency beacon, and helped us escape."

"Hey what really happened? Jinrui, didn't you say that Jingyi's clothes have a pulling powder? Where did you know that? Why don't I know?" Yang Xin turned her gaze to Zhu Jinrui.

Zhu Jinrui pointed at Feng Mo. "Taois Mo said that Jingyi's clothes were powdered to attract beasts."

Feng Mo nodded. "When I cross paths with Daoist Zhu I kissed her from Miss Xue's clothes."

Yang Xin looked suspiciously. "How do you know that? We had been with Jingyi from the beginning and we didn't smell anything suspicious."

"These towing powders are colorless and odorless, reacting only when exposed to sweat. So Miss Xue might have just been exposed to the powder recently."

The five were surprised. Recently?

Yang Xin still could not believe it. "Because it's colorless and odorless, how can you tell?!"

"Xinxin, stop."

Feng Mo was not worried. "Because I have research on this powder."

"Are you an Alchemist?"

Feng Mo did not answer.

There Xue Zixuan asked her twin brother, "Jingyi, tell us how there is a beast-pulling powder in your clothes?"

"How do I know?"

Feng Mo asked, "Before this did you guys cross paths with another suspicious cultivator?"

Zhu Jinrui frowned. "No, there are no suspicious cultivators."

"But we cross paths with the disciples of the Honglian sect earlier." The female cultivator interrupted.

"Yang Xin, you don't suspect them right?"

"We only met them today."

"Are they setting a trap for us?" Others are a little unsure.

Zhu Jianrui denied. "No way!"

People look at him strangely. Zhu Jinrui was a little embarrassed.

"Jingyi, have any strange people approached you before?"

"No."

"Person pretending to be close to you?"

Xue Jingyi frowned. "It doesn't seem like it, but when we passed by those Honglian sect disciples, there was a disciple who approached me and asked me to speak, but his face was pale as I responded. Could she?"

Qin Jiu came to mock. "How not, you are dressed like Xue Zixuan, when you don't speak, with your cold face, who would have thought that you were a woman?"

Xue Zixuan and Xue Jingyi were a pair of twin brothers, their faces were very similar as if they were made from the same mold. If not for Xue Jingyi being a woman, they would probably not be distinguishable anymore.

Zhu Jinrui and Yang Xin looked at each other.

"When did he get close to you?"

"When Senior Zhu and Sister Tan spoke together."

"Could it be him?" Yang Xin stroked her chin.

"There's no other suspect."

"Then isn't he still with the Honglian sect group now?"

Some people look at each other.

"Come after! They might be in trouble right now!"

Someone immediately became impatient, and led the group to leave.

"Go?" Kong Li asked Feng Mo.

Feng Mo nodded. "Come on."
