In that moment, the spirit power within her body burned frantically; even her reason was being consumed by the flames of her fury.
Her seventh spirit ring, that ink-black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, suddenly flashed brilliantly!
"Martial Soul True Body—Evil Fire Phoenix!!!"
Boom—!!!
In this moment, Ma Xiaotao's figure disappeared.
In her place was a giant fire Phoenix with a wingspan of over ten meters, its entire body burning with dark red flames!
The terrifying high temperature instantly evaporated the surrounding Corpse Qi.
Facing the imminent second round of Corpse Explosions, Ma Xiaotao, in her Phoenix form, did not choose to attack or evade.
Letting out a tragic cry, her massive wings snapped open and then folded inward like a giant cage of fire, firmly shielding all the injured Inner Court Disciples and Yuhao's group behind her beneath her wings!
"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!"
The second round of Corpse Explosions followed immediately.
An even more terrifying explosive force slammed violently into Ma Xiaotao's massive Phoenix True Body.
Pfft!
Even in the state of Martial Soul True Body, Ma Xiaotao suffered a massive shock from tanking such a level of chain Corpse Explosions head-on.
Her massive Phoenix body trembled violently, fire feathers scattered, and with every explosion, she let out a muffled groan of pain.
Yet her massive fire wings remained firmly pinned to the ground, unmoving!
No matter how fierce the external explosions were, no matter how much the corrosive corpse poison eroded her flames, she stood like a towering mountain, providing an absolutely safe space for the teammates beneath her.
Finally.
A long ten-plus seconds passed.
The sounds of explosions gradually subsided.
The interior of the cave had been blasted beyond recognition, with scorched marks and green slime everywhere.
Huff... huff...
The giant fire Phoenix slowly dissipated, transforming back into human form.
Ma Xiaotao's face was pale, a trace of blood hung from her mouth, and her red clothes were torn in many places, leaving her in a wretched state.
But her gaze was more ferocious than ever before.
She glanced behind her.
Chen Zifeng was unconscious, Xi Xi was pale, and Dai Yueheng was gasping for air.
Although they had all suffered significant injuries and were covered in dust and grime, fortunately... they were all still alive.
"As long as they're alive... it's fine."
Ma Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she suddenly turned her head and stared fixedly at the gray figure floating in mid-air deep within the cave.
It was the Death God Envoy.
At this moment, the Evil Soul Master was looking at Ma Xiaotao with a face full of astonishment.
He clearly hadn't expected this woman to be able to withstand his chain Corpse Explosions head-on.
"You... how could you..."
"I'm going to... tear you into ten thousand pieces!!!"
Ma Xiaotao's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying endless killing intent.
The next second.
"Phoenix Meteor Shower!!!"
There was no need for any extra movements or even an incantation.
In her state of fury, Ma Xiaotao instantly cast her Sixth Soul Skill.
Countless massive fireballs, like meteors carrying an Aura of total destruction, rained down upon the Death God Envoy from all directions.
The Death God Envoy screamed in terror, attempting to summon vengeful spirits to block the attack.
But before the Phoenix Evil Fire, before the Phoenix flames capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, his dark little tricks were simply a joke.
Boom boom boom—!
Even his screams were drowned out by the sea of fire.
In just a single exchange.
The Death God Envoy, who had caused everyone such grief with his bizarre methods, was directly blasted into dust by Ma Xiaotao's wrathful strike!
Not even a trace of ash remained.
A complete instant kill.
The battle was over.
But it didn't feel like a victory; it felt more like a pyrrhic victory.
The cave fell into a deathly silence.
