Chapter 1838: Chapter 1834: Twin Phoenixes, Master of the Jian Sect (Part 2)
"Really?" The Thousand-feet Queen was still a bit skeptical.
"Of course it’s true. Unless a stronger figure appears, this Emperor Flowing Pulp will definitely be mine! But now even people from the Qingqiu Fox Country have arrived. What strong contenders can the Demon Race possibly have? So rest assured!" The Three-Legged Crow said with a face full of pride.
However, as if in response to his words, as soon as the Three-Legged Crow finished speaking, an extremely crisp cry echoed throughout the entire void.
Everyone was shaken by it.
Because they all noticed the unusual nature of this cry.
Especially certain long-lived members of the Demon Race, who turned pale with fright.
"This cry..."
As the words fell, a burst of flame suddenly appeared in the void.
This flame was not of mundane origin, and as soon as it appeared, the scorching heat forced many to retreat repeatedly.
Even the space itself was warped and shaken by the intense heat.
But this was just the beginning. Almost instantly, this flame began to rapidly condense, forming the shape of a firebird.
Behind the firebird, a long tail feather slowly spread out, magnificent and awe-inspiring, evoking an urge to worship.
"Fire Phoenix... Oh my god, it’s a Fire Phoenix!" Someone murmured in a daze.
No wonder they were so shocked.
It’s because the Phoenix Clan had long since disappeared in the Demon Race, becoming nothing more than a legend.
Many believed that the Phoenix Clan was completely extinct.
Yet unexpectedly, on this day, this extremely mysterious group appeared.
The Three-Legged Crow’s mouth gaped slightly, eventually forcing a smile.
"Heh, it’s just a Phoenix Remnant Clan, no need to pay much attention!"
But just then, the giant bird formed from fire suddenly transformed into a woman.
A beautiful woman with eyes burning like flames, red lips and white teeth, wearing a fiery red dress.
As soon as this woman appeared, she let out a laugh like wind chimes.
"Oh my, it’s really lively here. Sister, aren’t you coming out?"
As the words fell, an extremely deep cold aura began to appear beside this woman.
Even from a great distance, just one look at this cold aura made many shiver all over, it was that terrifying.
Then the cold aura also condensed into the shape of a phoenix bird, and finally transformed into a woman.
This woman, in both features and figure, was identical to the first woman who appeared.
With only two visible differences.
One was that her eyes were filled with an icy blue chill, and the other was that she wore a dark green dress.
Apart from that, the two were as if carved from the same mold.
"Twin Phoenixes! Oh my god, there really is such an existence!" Someone exclaimed in shock.
It is said that unlike the prolific Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan is inherently noble and difficult to reproduce, so the number of Phoenixes has always been few from ancient times to present.
But when the Phoenix Clan reaches the brink of survival, they will give birth to a pair of twin phoenixes, one yin, one yang, one fire, one ice.
These twin phoenixes will possess unimaginable strength, able to instantly kill same-level opponents.
No one expected this seemingly ridiculous legend to be true.
While the crowd was still in shock, the Three-Legged Crow stubbornly said, "It’s just a pair of twin phoenixes, I don’t take them seriously. If you’re capable, bring another strong one for me to see! I’m not afraid!"
Today, it seemed the Three-Legged Crow’s mouth had a spell on it, as everything he said came true.
Because as soon as he spoke, a dull roar resounded from the depths of the distant void.
It was as if a giant beast was approaching step by step, causing all the demons to tremble in spirit.
Then, a man holding a skeleton appeared from the darkness, seemingly slow but actually fast.
With every step he took, countless sword intents were stirred up, the momentum so strong it made one’s heart palpitate with fear.
When he reached the field, the twin phoenixes each took a step back, bowed and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Master!"
The Three-Legged Crow was dumbfounded.
He never expected things to evolve into this.
When did strong beings become like cabbages by the roadside, cropping up one after another?
At this time, the Thousand-feet Queen murmured, "Do you still have confidence now? How about shouting a few more times to see if more strong beings appear?"
The sarcasm and anger in her words were almost overflowing.
The Three-Legged Crow couldn’t utter a single word.
Because he faintly felt that things were beyond his control.
At least compared to these strong contenders who came later, his strength was completely insufficient.
Meanwhile.
Within the secret realm, Xue An naturally also sensed the anomaly outside, but he didn’t panic at all and instead squatted down with a smile to the two little girls, "Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, go with mom back to the Magic Treasures Pavilion."
"Ah, can’t we play a bit longer? Just a bit!" The two little girls, who were in high spirits, were somewhat reluctant.
"Be good, once everything is settled, daddy will play with you again, okay?"
"Okay then!"
The two little girls understood that daddy had lots of things to do, so they obediently followed An Yan.
An Yan nodded lightly to Xue An. "Husband, be careful!"
Xue An smiled openly, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!"
When An Yan took the two little girls back to the Magic Treasures Pavilion, Xue An slowly turned around, his smile gradually fading.
"Lord Red Lotus, did you sense it too?" Hu Wan appeared beside Xue An, asking softly.
"Of course, twin phoenixes, I haven’t seen such an existence for a long time!" Xue An replied calmly.
"But I think the other one is the main concern, because I’ve never seen such a strong and manic sword intent!" Hu Wan said with a serious face.
"Him?" Xue An smiled and shook his head, "He is indeed formidable, but I happen to know him!"
"What? Who is he?" Hu Wan exclaimed.
At that moment, a voice, as calm as water, passed through layers of barriers and reached everyone’s ears in the secret realm.
"Xue An? You’re still alive?"
Xue An gave a faint smile, "Of course I’m still alive, why? Li Jingxing, are you disappointed?"
Li Jingxing!
Upon hearing this name, everyone, including Hu Wan, was taken aback.
Because in the Multiverse, this name signified absolute strength.
He was a true Immortal Emperor!
Moreover, Li Jingxing, as the master of the Jian Sect, single-handedly founded Buried Sword Mountain, and alone guarded the throne of ten thousand swords, nearly suppressing the northern borders of the void alone, deterring countless extraterrestrial demons from crossing the Thunder Pond, even escaping upon sight, ultimately becoming an insurmountable pinnacle among sword cultivators.
An existence like this was bound to evoke fear.
However, it was said that three years ago, he mysteriously disappeared, causing a huge uproar in the Multiverse.
Rumor had it that he died due to going mad during cultivation.
Yet no one expected he would show up here today.
"Disappointed isn’t the word, I just didn’t expect you to be here. So, is the dignified Red Lotus Immortal Venerable bought by the Dragon Clan to become their henchman?" Li Jingxing asked indifferently.
"Hehe, Li, you haven’t changed a bit over the years, still as sharp-tongued as ever!"
With that, Xue An took a step forward, directly appearing outside the secret realm.
