Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 620 - 412: Lee Zhen Emerges from Seclusion
Lin Chen’s brows were tightly furrowed, the unease in his heart growing ever stronger.
Though there were only occasional energy fluctuations deep within the Dragon Vein Land, the violent tremor just now and the intense reaction of the Little Fox and the Fire Spirit to a certain extreme flame were all highly unusual!
Lin Chen hesitated no more and made a prompt decision.
Although there was still a month before the time he had arranged with the Great Elder, it was a pity to leave cultivation early, but the situation outside worried him even more.
He quickly awakened all the Spirit Beasts still in cultivation, not delaying for a moment, and headed with them at the fastest speed towards the outskirts of the Dragon Vein Land.
.....
Above the Spirit Academy, the sky had already turned into a depressing blood-red by the Phoenix Karmic Fire.
Gu Feng’s words did not surprise the Great Elder; the opposing party had come with great might, aiming surely for the Dragon Vein, but their excuse was clumsy, and their stance was as overbearing as ever.
The Great Elder, Yu Xiu, looked at Gu Feng, his face steely, and said in a deep voice, "The Dragon Vein is the foundation of our Spirit Academy, tied to the fortune of the Human Race. What if I refuse?"
"Hahaha!" Gu Feng laughed aloud, his laughter filled with disdain and threat, "Yu Xiu, do you think we came today to negotiate with you? Refuse?"
"Then why don’t you try and see if your Spirit Academy can withstand the wrath of my Ancient Race!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder’s immense Spiritual Power surged out like a storm, he angrily shouted:
"Gu Feng! If you truly want to fight to the death, then we of the Spirit Academy do not mind accompanying you to the end! Even if the Spirit Academy is destroyed today, we will make sure your Ancient Race suffers heavy losses!"
Gu Feng’s gaze swept across the ready Tree Ancestor and the murderous-eyed Qin Shaoshao, his eyes flickering slightly.
The Tree Ancestor possessed immense Life Force, extremely difficult to kill completely.
And the Celestial Spirit Body of Qin Shaoshao was a meat grinder on the battlefield; if she started slaughtering with no regard, besides a few top individuals, his Ancient Race army might truly find it hard to escape unscathed.
Fighting to the death was not the best strategy.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly changed his tone and said:
"Fine! Since you say so, my Ancient Race can be reasonable. This matter has nothing to do with the students below; I promise that the Ancient Race army will not harm them."
He pointed to himself and the four elders behind him, as well as Gu Cennan,
"We will determine the outcome with top force. As long as you in the Spirit Academy can defeat us six, my Ancient Race will immediately turn and leave without a word! How about it?"
The Great Elder furrowed his brows, his mind calculating rapidly.
The top fighters of the academy, the Tree Ancestor could rival Gu Feng, he himself could face a level ninety elder directly, and Qin Shaoshao could handle one as well.
While the Great Elder was weighing options, three Spirit Academy elders stepped forward resolutely, saying loudly, "Great Elder, we three are willing to join forces and stop one of them even if it costs us our lives!"
Seeing their determined eyes, the Great Elder knew this was the only way for now, and he nodded heavily.
However, Gu Feng clearly did not intend to give them more time to prepare.
"Then let’s begin!" Gu Feng grinned viciously, waving his large hand down forcefully, "Attack!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Five Spirit Beasts over level ninety and Gu Cennan’s level eighty-nine Phoenix erupted simultaneously!
The overwhelming Phoenix Karmic Fire rolled back like a sea of blood, converging into six destructive pillars of fire, attacking the Tree Ancestor, the Great Elder, Qin Shaoshao, and the three elders preparing to resist together.
The terrifying pressure began to distort the entire Spirit Academy’s space, as if it could shatter at any moment.
The students on the square below were already pale; under that seemingly divine-retribution-like power, they felt as insignificant as ants, their breathing becoming extremely difficult.
Fear, like an icy tide, engulfed everyone, causing some weaker students to collapse directly to the ground.
They looked up at the despairing battle power comparison in the sky, their hearts full of helplessness and despair.
"Elders, can you withstand them?"
"Are we going to die?"
....
Despair was spreading.
But at this moment, the Great Elder echoed his voice through the air of the Spirit Academy with Spiritual Power: "All students, leave at once!"
Even as he spoke, the opponents had already attacked, with two elders riding Phoenixes to assault the Great Elder, their sole aim to quickly slay the Great Elder’s Spirit Beasts and control him.
On the main battlefield, the Tree Ancestor also needed to deal with Gu Feng and an elder; it could at least put up a fight.
But those three teaming elders were pale-faced; even in a three-against-one, they struggled to hold their ground.
The only slightly better situation was Qin Shaoshao’s.
Though Qin Shaoshao’s level had just surpassed ninety, her combat power was astonishing, suppressing the Ancient Race elder to the point of breathlessness from the start.
"Do you still have time to watch others?"
The two opponents, seeing the Great Elder distracted, immediately decided to kill; the two Phoenixes attacked fiercely from left and right.
The Great Elder, snapping back to reality, was already too late to react, watching as his Spirit Beast was about to fall into a sea of fire...
At this critical moment!
"Kreeee!!!"
A piercing Phoenix cry suddenly erupted from the back hill of the Spirit Academy, its clarity surpassing even the cries of the Ancient Race Phoenix!
Immediately, a red streak of light cut through the sky like a shooting star, charging into the battlefield at incredible speed.
The target of this streak of light was the two opponents surrounding the Great Elder.
Boom!!!
A thunderous explosion erupted as the red streak collided fiercely with the golden fire pillar, instantly unleashing a violent energy shockwave!
Amazingly, the Phoenix Karmic Fire, capable of melting gold and stone, was forcibly scattered by the red streak of light.
As the energy dissipated, its light dimmed, revealing within it a tall and straight figure.
His body was enveloped in a faint red aura, and one of his arms was like a searing-hot iron brand, with clear Phoenix patterns flowing on it, exuding an awe-inspiring heat and majesty!
"Lee Zhen?!"
The Great Elder, seeing who it was, felt both shocked and overjoyed.
It was none other than Lee Zhen, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, practicing the Phoenix Arm at the Spirit Academy’s back hill upon the academy’s arrangement.
He had broken out just at the crucial moment, standing in front of the Great Elder, his gaze electric as he surveyed the arrogant Ancient Clan people in the sky, and then looked at the Great Elder.
He didn’t know much about the Divine Race or the Ancient Clan, but the opponent seemed to have a significant background, yet he still said firmly:
"If you want to move against the Spirit Academy, first ask for my permission, Lee Zhen!"
The Great Elder also took this moment to size up Lee Zhen, discovering that Lee Zhen had reached a formidable level 85.
This leap in power was incredibly great.
But, that’s normal.
The appearance of the Phoenix Arm was itself a one-in-a-billion chance, rarely recorded in history.
On the other hand, the Ancient Clan people, seeing Lee Zhen’s arm, had their eyes turn red.
"Phoenix Arm, how can he have a Phoenix Arm?" The leading Gu Feng’s pupils suddenly widened, looking at Lee Zhen as his mind rapidly analyzed who he was.
But he quickly figured it out: "It seems Lin Chen gave you all those Phoenix Essence Blood."
Hearing Lin Chen’s name mentioned by the opponent, Lee Zhen’s brows furrowed, a killing intent instantly surging within him...
It seemed they were here for Lin Chen...
They must be killed!
Unexpectedly, Gu Feng and the Ancient Clan had an even stronger killing intent.
The Phoenix Arm belonged to the Ancient Clan’s supreme fortune; if such a thing were not within the Ancient Clan, it must be destroyed!
