"kill!"
-
The Ice and Fire Phoenix raised its head and let out a clear and melodious cry that shook the heavens. It flapped its wings and swooped down, flames burning the sky and cold air splitting the earth, rushing towards the void battlefield where blue and black met. With each flap of its wings, it left behind a trail of intertwined ice and fire.
Before it could even reach the heart of the battlefield, a ferocious, mantis-shaped Thousand Refined Puppet Demon suddenly emerged from the black mist opposite. Its entire body was covered in dark golden scales, its scythe-shaped forelimbs gleamed with a cold light, and it exuded a strange, turbid aura that suppressed the Dao of Water and Fire. Wherever it passed, the power of ice and fire would weaken.
In June, her pupils suddenly contracted, the cloud of doubt in her heart growing heavier. She muttered to herself, her tone filled with solemnity and chill:
"The first match was a simple crushing victory, but the second match was different. They took the initiative to change their formation and sent out Night Elves, who, whether in terms of their preferred offensive methods or in terms of sheer strength, were clearly superior to Gu Ningbing..."
"In the third match, I sent out Shen Qianqiu, who is skilled in the Great Dao of Water and Fire Fusion, in an attempt to force out the Dark Elves' trump card. Yongye changed his formation again. Since our side is skilled in Water and Fire, he sent out a commander who is effective against Water and Fire?"
Upon reaching this point in June's analysis, her gaze instantly sharpened, and the aura of a Dao Lord erupted from her body. "Could there be a traitor in our cultivator civilization? Otherwise, how could Eternal Night know the details of our army so thoroughly!"
"Shen Qianqiu, come back immediately!" Liu Yue dared not gamble any longer. If Shen Qianqiu were to fall into danger, their side would lose another main force. He immediately sent a telepathic message, his tone urgent and carrying an undeniable authority.
-
Although Shen Qianqiu had doubts, he had complete faith in June's instructions. He immediately controlled the Ice and Fire Phoenix to flap its wings and turn around. Its wings burst with extreme spiritual light, and it retreated rapidly, even faster than when it charged into the formation.
Upon seeing this, the mantis puppet demon below instantly opened its massive maw and spewed out countless black and white interwoven threads. The threads spread like a tide, carrying a sticky and eerie Daoist aura, possessing both binding and corrosive power, and wrapped around the retreating ice and fire phoenix, instantly catching up to it.
June squinted at the scene, her fingers clenched tightly, the coldness in her eyes deepening, confirming her inner suspicions:
"As expected, they are also the most skilled at restraining and limiting Shen Qianqiu... They know every weakness and every strength of ours like the back of their hand."
Shen Qianqiu reacted extremely quickly, immediately controlling the Ice and Fire Phoenix to flap its wings simultaneously, unleashing both flames and cold air to form an ice and fire barrier that forcefully blocked the entanglement of the black and white threads.
Taking advantage of this brief interval, she quickly gathered the 108,000 Celestial Immortals into her personal immortal abode. With a flash, she landed steadily on the Boundless City. Turning to look at June, her eyes held a hint of confusion, but she did not ask any further questions.
"Step back." June waved her hand, her eyes shifting rapidly, and the Daoist aura around her flickering.
This battle was his first time leading an expedition as a Dao Lord. Within the first line of defense, countless Immortal Emperors, Sovereigns, and Supremes were watching the battle. Every defeat and every mistake could not escape the eyes of those powerful beings.
"I don't believe that any powerful being would dare to reveal the key information about the main force in this battle of destiny to the Strange Clan!" June murmured, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness and unease.
If the main force's true strength is completely exposed, there will be no chance of winning in subsequent battles, the struggle for destiny will ultimately collapse, and the entire cultivator civilization will be plunged into crisis.
Thinking of this, June suddenly turned her head, her gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over the crowd in the direction of the eight holy lands, her expression complex.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and resolute: "If the enemy knows the details of the main force at the pass, then in this contest of mere fortune, I will have no chance of winning."
His gaze finally settled on Chen Xuan, Qiu Zixian, Lu Xueqi, and the others. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but it gradually hardened into determination.
"On the contrary, as the eight holy lands of the unknown Flame Dragon Realm, as the most ignored and underestimated dark horses, you may become my trump card to break the deadlock. However, such a choice is too risky. If they are not careful, they will be completely wiped out."
"What...should I choose?"
At this moment, the familiar mocking voice of the Night King rang out once again atop the enemy's void fortress.
