154 The dedication of the goddess of life, a new crisis
Chu Feng looked forward to the good idea Zhong Yang had mentioned.
But he seemed to be holding something back, as if he were waiting for something.
"You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?" Chu Feng asked.
"How could I be that kind of person? It's just that the strength of the two of us isn't enough," Zhong Yang said with some hesitation.
Ah Yin rushed over at this moment. "Master, why are you with this demon?" She was somewhat puzzled.
"It's fine, he's one of us," Chu Feng said... However, Bibi Dong, being unreasonable, directly launched an attack at Zhong Yang. Chu Feng did not join this battle but chose instead to watch from the sidelines.
The two of them certainly weren't enemies; there shouldn't be much conflict between the Tianyun City Lord and this Demon Venerable.
Chu Feng just wanted to see exactly how powerful these two were.
When so many monsters were present just now, Zhong Yang hadn't revealed any spiritual energy at all, showing complete control over its release and containment.
The two began to trade blows, and the massive energy generated caused the entire swamp environment to completely collapse. Chu Feng retracted his protective shield as the swamp water poured down like a waterfall.
Yet, not a single wet mark appeared on either of them. Bibi Dong simply summoned six spirit bodies, which attached themselves behind her physical body like trailing shadows, invisibly repelling all the filth.
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Zhong Yang's mouth. "It's been ten years. I didn't expect your strength to have improved so much. Brother Bai, let me test your skills!"
These are Demonic Spirit Bodies! And there are four of them!
This kind of spirit body only exists in the Demon Realm, and it has no upper limit, only a lower one; it depends entirely on the user's cultivation ability. It's truly difficult to compare which is better between it and the Heavenly Spirit Body.
Being able to appreciate a battle between the top experts of the Human Realm, Chu Feng could be said to have had a real feast for his eyes, and he could even secretly learn some techniques.
As for Ah Yin, after seeing this display, her fur stood straight up. In her nearly hundred years of cultivation in the mountains and forests, she had never imagined she would one day witness such formidable strength.
This was a terrifying power several times greater than Chu Feng's.
In the confrontation of six spirit bodies against four, any monster in the swamp that even caught a glimpse of it was reduced to a pile of debris.
Aside from the whistling sounds caused by the techniques, the air was so quiet it felt suffocating.
Zhong Yang spread his hands out straight with his palms facing up. With the enhancement of the four spirit bodies, a ball of black flame ignited in his hands, featuring four layers of outer flames that illuminated his entire body.
This was likely the brightest scene in this land of evil energy.
The flames in his palms transformed into countless fireballs that smashed toward Bibi Dong. The temperature was so high that even Chu Feng, hundreds of meters away, felt the heat, and sweat poured from Ah Yin's forehead.
Ah Yin whispered, "Are you sure you want to let them keep fighting?"
Chu Feng said excitedly, "Don't worry, these two definitely won't kill each other."
This was only the beginning, yet it was already such an explosive start; one could only imagine what would follow.
The fireballs became more numerous and dense. Even if Bibi Dong dodged them, the fireballs could melt even stones upon contact.
"Still the same old fighting style, but I won't show weakness. Let me show you the move I've practiced hard: Mysterious Phoenix Spirit Attachment."
Bibi Dong finally brought out a respectable technique. A massive rose-gold Mysterious Phoenix bird was formed from a surge of spiritual energy from her spirit bodies and took flight. This bird was the same one from before with the eighteen beast souls.
Ah Yin watched in surprise, "This fellow can actually achieve perfect harmony between human and beast. The bird behind Bibi Dong actually has a full twenty-one beast souls; it's unbelievable."
Although beast souls can usually only be attached to spirit beasts, it doesn't mean a human can't have a beast reside within their spirit body, especially since the Heavenly Spirit Body inherently has this potential.
Considering the ten-thousand-mile inner-sphere World Bibi Dong had created before, this was quite normal.
The rose-gold Mysterious Phoenix circled in the air!
It swallowed every single incoming fireball. Despite the fireballs being extremely hot and carrying powerful demonic power, the bird was not affected in the slightest.
As it swallowed more and more, the veins on Bibi Dong's body began to bulge, turning a flame-red color, and her muscles became sturdy.
Her clothes began to burst, fully exposing her perfect upper body, which clearly showed several scars. To leave indelible scars on such a person, the opponents Bibi Dong had encountered must have been beyond imagination.
Zhong Yang slowly brought his hands together and crossed them, then moved his palms from facing downward to gradually upward, as a giant red saber began to manifest.
"My Bloodthirsty Demonic Saber has not appeared for a thousand years. Today, I'll let you see its power." Zhong Yang was getting serious now, his fighting spirit overflowing.
The figures of the two were already tall and mighty, yet the blade of this saber was even taller than a person. The red and black color scheme on this meteoric iron great saber was overshadowed because the massive amount of demonic power covering it became the main decoration.
Zhong Yang pulled the saber out as if it were embedded in a seal. The airwaves caused by this brief moment of drawing the blade created cracks in the ground.
Zhong Yang gripped the saber with both hands and shouted, "Take this!"
The nearby area, which had been somewhat calm, shook even more violently, as if a mountain were collapsing and the earth were rending.
Bibi Dong manifested a long sword from her sleeves. This was not a physical weapon but one refined solely through her spirit bodies; of course, it was still inferior to Chu Feng's Treasure Refining.
Chu Feng couldn't have failed to notice this. Bibi Dong used nearly three spirit bodies to empower the sword, and she seemed to be struggling a bit.
Saber and sword clashed head-on!
Friction!
Intensity!
Explosion!
A battle of exquisite artistry.
If it wasn't stopped, the Sky Prison would soon collapse on its own. Chu Feng shouted, "You can stop now!"
But how could the two, in the heat of the moment, give up such a great opportunity to spar?
Chu Feng's intervention was counterproductive, and the two began to fight even more fiercely.
Zhong Yang actually pulled the four Demonic Spirit Bodies out of his physical body and infused them directly into the giant saber. Such a ruthless move suggested he intended to use all of his cultivation.
Ah Yin was a bit panicked. "If this continues, I'm afraid the entire Sky Prison will be gone."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
A Panda? That dead Panda that had been missing for half a month was actually alive.
Chu Feng had almost forgotten about it, only remembering that it had been snatched away by a group of people at the Sword Sect.
This dead cat's voice sounded somewhat mature, and its entire body had changed from its original plumpness to being sturdy.
What shocked Chu Feng even more was!
The Panda seemed to have nearly five hundred years of cultivation power. How was this possible? Originally, it couldn't even compare to one of Ah Yin's fingers.
It now floated above Zhong Yang, saying with a slight smile, "Let me fight you guys."
Chu Feng wanted to see if it had any real ability to stop this duel between experts, and the result was...
The Panda curled into a ball and rolled rapidly through the air, heading straight toward the two of them.
Zhong Yang hoisted the demonic saber directly over his head, and the Panda's physical body clashed head-on with the blade.
It truly was thick-skinned and tough!
