Lin Xuan rode the Phoenix in swift pursuit. Li Wei swam forward frantically, pushing his speed to the limit—just as fast as when he'd been chased before. But now, with the Phoenix's improved Cultivation, it caught up to him effortlessly.
"Where do you think you're going to run? You think you can get away?" Lin Xuan maneuvered the Phoenix to fly low over the water's surface, rapidly closing in, looking for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
FWOOSH!
The Phoenix shot a gout of flame at Li Wei, who quickly dove under. But when the Phoenix Flame struck the sea's surface, it vanished instantly, completely unable to penetrate the Demon Sea. It looked as if the seawater had extinguished it.
In reality, the Demon Sea had absorbed it. Ordinary water could never extinguish the Phoenix Fire. This just went to show how truly strange the Demon Sea was—it even absorbed the Elemental Power contained within attacks.
