Chapter 580: A Surefire Dead End
Feng Tianlan watched as the thick bolt of lightning tore the sky and struck the earth. It called out almost like a whisper, “Nansheng.”
Thud! Something fell heavily on her side. The water on the ground splashed onto Feng Tianlan, who turned her head and looked sideways. Little by little, her irises constricted, and then widened, reflecting the smile solidified on Gu Nansheng’s face.
She saw a long, long wound stretch along Gu Nansheng’s throat, and blood spilled forth from the gaping wound like spring water. Gurgle, gurgle, they flowed out of her neck and spilled all over the ground, mixing in with rainwater and becoming a puddle of rain in an instant.
Gu Nansheng’s eyes widened as she stared into Feng Tianlan’s eyes. Slowly, she shut her eyelids, and a small smile formed on her lips, which then stiffened. Tianlan was safe. How glad she was!
“Nansheng!” Feng Tianlan gaped in shock, and rainwater rushed into her mouth. She screamed soundlessly.
That black shadow landed right beside Feng Tianlan and looked down, as if watching a lowly being, “Tsk, to think that you’re still alive. I’ll send you off again then!”
As the black shadow said that, he gathered Spiritual Force atop his palm and struck down onto Feng Tianlan’s skull with great power!
A ray of red light suddenly flashed from between Feng Tianlan’s brows, plunging straight into that ball of Spiritual Force. It charged at the black shadow, which immediately dodged to the side!
The unleashed red light sliced the stormy and thunderous night, shooting straight to the upper sky. At that moment, it lit up the night!
“Kill him!” Feng Tianlan stared at the smile that lingered on Gu Nansheng’s face, and slowly sat up. Her voice was as icy as the glacial blades of winter!
The whistle of the phoenix echoed, and it rushed down towards the black-clad man!
The black-clad man tried to run, but how could he ever compare to the speed of the Fire Phoenix? He felt a searing pain on his back. One scratch from the phoenix’s claw, and he began to burn, ultimately reduced to a pile of ashes.
The flames of the Fire Phoenix scorched the vines on her body, causing them to retract immediately and stick closely to her back. Those Man Eating Flowers withered at once. The black-clad man, now free from restraints, could only watch the Fire Phoenix swoop down towards him. Before he could even make a turn, he went up in flames and left behind nothing but ashes.
The people nearby ceased their blind search the moment they saw the Fire Phoenix soaring in the sky. At that instant, they made their way towards the fight.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, several dozens of figures appeared out of thin air and gathered Spiritual Forces. Their entire body began to balloon as they charged at Feng Tianlan at high speeds.
These people were all cultivators above the rank of Spiritual Grandmasters. Within them, one could even see four or five First-stage Spiritual Emperors. So many powerhouses had planned to self-combust!
“Miss!” Azurite, who just arrived at the scene, saw what was about to happen. Fear piled in her heart.
Wu Xuan felt his entire heart jump up from his chest to form a lump in his throat. The mass self-combustion of more than a couple of dozens of Spiritual Grandmasters could level the area within a ten-mile radius. As for them, they would all be reduced to ashes!
It was a surefire dead end!
Feng Tianlan raised her eyelids mildly and lifted her brows nonchalantly. She was domineering and arrogant, as if these people were nothing but grasshoppers bouncing up and down.
As these powerhouses needed to consolidate Spiritual Forces before they could self-combust, there was an outburst of Spiritual Energies within a hundred-mile radius. The immense Spiritual Forces streamed towards Feng Tianlan madly as they pooled in a single area, forming a field of invisible but immense pressure. Everyone present was pinned in place by the tremendous pressure.
They could only watch those powerhouses’ bodies bloat up more and more. It was as if over a dozen grim reapers had appeared out of nowhere, surrounded Feng Tianlan, and sealed off all of her escape routes!
It was a surefire dead end!
None of them could ever escape. This was the place that would become their graves!
Crash! Boom!
Bolts of lightning pulled the sky apart as they struck from the clouds. Under the thunder and lightning, the Fire Phoenix kept weaving through the skies and shrilled, hoping to take its Master away. However, its Master refused to budge, and there was nothing it could do.
The distance between Feng Tianlan and the self-combustors was reduced to a mere mile. However, they could only see Feng Tianlan smirk and shut her eyes. Trepidation filled everyone’s hearts as they watched Feng Tianlan stand under the stormy lightning. Was she simply waiting for her death?
