Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 621 - 413: The Might of the Phoenix Arm
In just a few seconds, Gu Feng had repeatedly glanced at Lee Zhen’s arm on fire with scarlet flames and vivid phoenix patterns.
The greed in his eyes was almost erupting!
Research on the "Phoenix Arm" within the Ancient Race never ceased; it was the ultimate opportunity every strong warrior in the Ancient Race dreamed of.
They had attempted countless cruel methods:
Including hunting young phoenixes, collecting the residual blood of aging phoenixes, and even conducting bloodline fusion experiments at the cost of their clansmen’s lives.
Gu Feng himself had personally overseen several trials, all ending in the same failure.
Yet now, this legendary power appeared so perfectly on the body of a "lower world human race"!
How could he not be envious, not be resentful?!
"I should never have let that phoenix leave the Ancient Race..." Gu Feng’s heart was instantly flooded with boundless regret.
Lee Zhen’s joining indeed added extra prowess.
Even though he was only at Level 85, the power contained in his Phoenix Arm was overwhelmingly tyrannical, far exceeding the restrictions of levels!
Between cultivators and spirit beasts, cultivators are naturally stronger.
Lee Zhen let out a low roar, taking the initiative to meet an elder of the Ancient Clan driving a Level 90 Phoenix.
Seeing the incoming foe was of a lower level, a hint of disdain flashed in the Ancient Clan elder’s eyes. He urged the phoenix beneath him, opening its mouth to spew an even fiercer torrent of karmic fire, intending to incinerate Lee Zhen along with his arm.
However, Lee Zhen neither dodged nor evaded, suddenly swinging that scarlet arm forward!
"Caw—!"
A purer, more arrogant phoenix’s cry unexpectedly erupted from his arm, as if the true soul of an ancient phoenix had awakened!
The scarlet flames were not karmic fire, yet they carried a terrifying will to burn all things, standing supreme, brazenly crashing into the golden torrent of karmic fire!
Sizzle!
A shocking scene unfolded!
The all-consuming phoenix karmic fire, upon contact with the scarlet flame, seemed to meet its nemesis, rapidly dimming, with part of it even being directly devoured by the red flames!
Lee Zhen’s arm did not slow down; the scarlet flames condensed into the massive shadow of a phoenix claw, tearing through the sea of fire, and striking fiercely at the Level 90 Phoenix!
Boom!
The phoenix let out a cry of pain, its feathers scattering in all directions, its enormous body stumbling backward, and the Ancient Clan elder was even more shocked, his blood surging wildly!
The dominance of the Phoenix Arm was starting to show!
To clash forcefully against a Level 90 Phoenix with mere Level 85 power without being at a disadvantage!
...
Gu Feng’s pupils contracted sharply at this sight, his killing intent and fear deepening.
He realized he must act quickly and decisively; he couldn’t let this person possessing the Phoenix Arm survive, nor could he give the Spirit Academy a chance to catch their breath!
He gave a harsh look to Gu Cennan beside him. The master and disciple duo, showing perfect tacit understanding, erupted almost simultaneously. Their previously dispersed attacks suddenly merged, transforming into two terribly violent fire tornadoes, aiming to crush the Tree Ancestor’s core trunk from the left and right!
"Roar!"
The Tree Ancestor let out a low, furious roar, countless branches thrashing wildly, as life energy surged forth like a turquoise tidal wave, forming layers upon layers of green barriers in an attempt to block the attack.
But against the full-strength combined assault of two top-level powerhouses, including one at the same level as Gu Feng, the Tree Ancestor was inevitably at a disadvantage.
Boom!
Crack!
After dozens of rounds, the green barriers shattered layer by layer under extreme heat and impact.
A fire tornado finally broke through the defense, slamming harshly onto the Tree Ancestor’s massive main trunk!
"Puff—"
The Tree Ancestor’s whole body trembled violently, a mouthful of life essence-rich green blood spurted out, the hit spot on the trunk turned charred black, and even showed tiny cracks!
Its aura weakened significantly in an instant.
"Tree Ancestor!"
The Great Elder exclaimed, filled with anxiety, yet he was tightly entangled by his opponent, unable to break free.
The fierce look in Gu Feng and Gu Cennan’s eyes flashed: strike while the iron is hot!
They gathered their strength once more, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Tree Ancestor.
The Spirit Academy’s greatest reliance seemed about to suffer a severe setback, the situation turning sharply for the worse!
At this imminently critical moment—
"Moo!!!!!!"
A desolate, mighty, seemingly ancient primordial bull’s bellow unexpectedly resounded in the sky!
This sound wasn’t sharp, yet it contained an indescribable heaviness and power, instantly overpowering all the explosions and blasts on the battlefield, clearly reaching everyone’s ears, shaking even their souls!
Whether Ancient Clan or Spirit Academy people, their actions all came to a halt, looking towards the source of the sound in astonishment.
In the distant sky, clouds seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible giant hand, and a massive cyan figure, vast as a mountain, was stepping through the air!
The Ancient Clan people were stunned, this sudden appearance...
Who could it be?
Yet the Great Elder and the Tree Ancestor recognized this bull bellow, their pupils trembling immediately.
They were too familiar with this sound.
Under their gaze, they saw that Cyan Ox parting the clouds, stepping through the air, with someone sitting atop it.
This sight drew countless students to look up, and the next second they couldn’t help but shout.
"It’s Elder Lin Chen!"
"It’s Elder Lin Chen!"
"Even Elder Lin Chen can’t help now."
"Look at his Spirit Beast’s level...."
Someone noticed, and upon seeing Xiaobai’s level, everyone suddenly swallowed hard.
....
With all eyes on him, here came Lin Chen.
He came riding the Cyan Ox, feeling the heated atmosphere from afar.
Seeing that the Great Elder and others were still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Ancient Clan’s identity, Lin Chen only needed to look at their Spirit Beasts to know.
He approached, cupped his hands slightly towards the Tree Ancestor and the Great Elder, and said, "Looks like I’m just in time."
"You kid...."
The Great Elder looked at Lin Chen’s level, unable to resist feeling a surge of joy.
The current Lin Chen was completely different.
Xiaobai’s capability, the Great Elder was well aware, should not be viewed with ordinary Spirit Beast standards.
"Do you have confidence in a fight?" the Great Elder asked.
Lin Chen glanced up, finally locking his gaze on Gu Cennan and said, "Anything too high is out of my reach, leave it to you."
"Okay." The Great Elder laughed heartily.
Lin Chen glanced again at Lee Zhen, nodding, and the latter also nodded back at Lin Chen.
No words were needed between them; they understood each other right away.
By now, Gu Cennan saw Lin Chen unexpectedly calling him out, then looked at Xiaobai, pupils showing a cold smile, saying, "You were the one who defeated Gu Xue, right?"
He was beyond astonished.
According to previous reports, Lin Chen’s level wasn’t this high.
But now Lin Chen’s level had reached a frightening Level 72, let alone Xiaobai’s level.
"He must have gone to Dragon Vein Land for cultivation..." Gu Feng saw clearly through it, his eyes turning even redder.
The Divine Race conference had already stated, if the Ancient Clan could take control of the second largest dragon vein at the Spirit Academy.
Its ownership would belong to the Ancient Clan.
"It’s good that everyone is here." Gu Feng sneered and said, "Saves us the trouble of searching!"
