Chapter 1370: I’m Not Someone to Be Trifled With

After a brief moment, everyone quickly pulled themselves together and calmed down. Their eyes were focused on the frozen Fire Phoenix that was nailed to the ground, waiting.
They did not doubt Lu Zhou’s strength as a Great Venerable Master, but the Fire Phoenix was not an ordinary divine beast. Everyone knew its nickname: the Immortal Bird. Even if Lu Zhou used two infinite-grade weapons along with his power, it did not mean he could kill the Immortal Bird. Hence, they continued to wait for its rebirth as they stared at it intently.
Lu Zhou did not withdraw the energy sword. He continued holding onto Unnamed in the form of a sword and looked at the Fire Phoenix.
After a few breaths…
Crack!
The layer of ice shattered.
Swoosh!
Flames surged again on the Fire Phoenix’s body. Surprisingly, the flames were even more intense than before. It supported itself using its wings and rose to its feet, allowing the energy sword to completely pierce its body.
Bang!
Lu Zhou put away Unnamed. Then, in just a blink of an eye, ten clones appeared again.
The Fire Phoenix flew into the air as the energy sword gradually dissipated. At this time, a drop of molten liquid dripped down.
“Fire Phoenix’s true blood!”
The young cultivators guarding the flying chariots could not suppress their greed when they saw the blood and rushed over immediately.
“Brother Lu’s strength is truly unfathomable! He actually injured the Fire Phoenix! The Fire Phoenix’s true blood can greatly increase one’s cultivation and change one’s physique. Although it can’t compare to the Great Void Seed, it’s still a rare treasure,” Qin Renyue said.
“However, in the short term, the Fire Phoenix’s true blood is not different from the Great Void Seed. The true blood’s effect will run its course, unlike the Great Void Seed. At that time, one’s cultivation speed will decrease,” Shang Yan said.
As Shang Yan, Gu Ning, Fan Zhong, and the others watched the young cultivators they brought with them running toward the true blood and shook their heads. The place they were rushing to was beneath the feet of a divine beast; did they have a death wish? As the saying went, ‘A newborn calf is unafraid of the tiger’.
As expected, after the Fire Phoenix rose into the sky, it unfurled its wings that seemed to span the entire sky. Once again, the sky turned red and fiery.
From thousands of miles away, it seems like the sky was burning.
The flames and heat had reached an unprecedented height at this moment.
Lu Zhou looked down and bellowed, “Get lost!”
Lu Zhou used the divine power from his Six-leaf blue avatar and cast the power of speech.
The soundwave rolled out like a tsunami.
Hundreds of young cultivators were instantly sent flying back by the soundwave. Their qi and blood surged violently in their bodies while the weaker ones were already spitting out blood.
As expected of a Great Venerable Master! Each of his moves was shocking.
Lu Zhou still remembered the battle in the Unknown Land. When the Fire Phoenix spread its wings in such a manner, it meant that it was going to unleash its ultimate move. The current Fire Phoenix has grown much stronger. Despite being injured, its one move was enough to destroy the world.
After a moment, Lu Zhou said, “Young people, you don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Is the Fire Phoenix’s true blood something you can covet?”
The young cultivators flew thousands of meters back, looking at the Fire Phoenix in the sky in shock.
The true blood fell 300 meters before it was evaporated by the high heat from the Fire Phoenix’s flames. The place where the young cultivators were standing at just a moment again was burning high with flames.
Fan Zhong took the initiative to say, “Thank you, Great Venerable Master Lu, for saving their lives.”
With this, Shang Yan and Gu Ning reimagined their senses and thanked Lu Zhou as well.
Then, they turned around and reprimanded the young cultivators.
“How dare you? The Fire Phoenix doesn’t even need to exert any effort to reduce all of you to ashes. Did you think you’re very brave? If it weren’t for Venerable Master Lu, all of you would’ve died!”
The young cultivators finally realized how impulsive they had been. All of them bowed to Lu Zhou to express their gratitude.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou’s attention was no longer on them. He was only focused on the Fire Phoenix. It was simply too powerful. If they continued to fight, it would be difficult to determine the victor. He knew even if he could not kill the Fire Phoenix, the Fire Phoenix definitely could not kill him. He was enough of means to protect himself and 1,000,000 merit points.
At this time, the Fire Phoenix unfurled its wings again to their full extent before it stilled. Then, a screech tore through the heavens, heralding a firestorm.
Swoosh!
Qin Renyue felt angry and helpless when he saw this. He bellowed angrily, “Everyone, evacuate the training hall. Retreat!”
“Venerable Master?!”
The 49 swordsmen watched as the fire ravaged the southern and northern mountains and the previously lush forest before shifting their gaze toward the training hall. This was their home, the place they grew up. How could they be unaffected, watching their home burn?
Seeing the approaching firestorm, Qin Renyue decisively said, “Retreat! Where there’s life, there’s hope!”
With this, everyone flew away.
…
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong turned around and flew away with Little Yuan’er and Conch as well.
…
At this time, Lu Zhou said angrily, “Very well, if this is how you want to do it, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
Lu Zhou raised his hand, shattering a Deadly Strike Card. A vortex spun in his hand before forming the Great Vajra Seal Hand Sign. It shot across the sky like a shooting star, landing on the Fire Phoenix once again.
Bang!
“…”
Even if the Fire Phoenix knew he could not kill it, Lu Zhou had to let it know that he was not someone to be trifled with. Then, he manifested his 18 Chart astrolabe.
“Block!”
The astrolabe expanded at top speed, keeping the flames at bay.
Indeed, Lu Zhou was right. Prior to this, the Fire Phoenix had never taken cultivators at and below the stage of a Venerable Master seriously. In its opinion, these humans that were like lowly reptiles were not worthy of it using its majestic flames. However, this time, it felt an unprecedented wave of terror and suppression from the Nine Nether Void. It felt even more oppressive than the Great Void, causing its body to tremble.
The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings, fanning the fire.
Lu Zhou quickly withdrew his astrolabe after a few breaths.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a streak of auspicious energy that shone as brightly as the sun shot out from the lower sky of the southern training hall into Lu Zhou’s body. Just like that, his divine power was swiftly restored.
Lu Zhou turned around and saw Whitzard standing on a puff of auspicious clouds, looking at him like a gentle and elegant sheep.
‘No wonder you’re my favorite! No matter from which angle I look at you, you’re so pleasing to the eyes!’
Now that Lu Zhou’s divine power had been restored, he used it to resist the flames and heat. He looked at the northern training hall. Although he had used his astrolabe to block the flames, the northern training hall still could escape the fate of being burned. However, the southern training hall could still be salvaged.
Lu Zhou looked at the falling Fire Phoenix and said, “I’ve always followed rules when doing things. I’ve always been honest and kept my promises. I’m telling you now if you persist in being stubborn and making an enemy out of him, I’ll go to the very end with you.”
Each of Lu Zhou’s words was loud and powerful.
Lu Zhou knew the Fire Phoenix was not dead. Moreover, it would become even stronger.
Before the Fire Phoenix reached the ground, it raised its head and looked at Lu Zhou, but it did not attack. It could not understand how a Venerable Master could possess such power that made one despair. It let out a loud cry before it flew up, drawing level with Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and looked at the Fire Phoenix. It felt as though he was looking at the sun at this moment. He asked, “Do you still want to fight?”
‘Hold on. This moment depends on who gives in first…’
Finally, the Fire Phoenix shook its head.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Very good.”
Then, the Fire Phoenix made a series of strange noises.
“Conch,” Lu Zhou said through Voice Transmission.
…
When Conch heard her master’s call, she was about to rush over.
However, before Conch could leave, Little Yuan’er stopped Conch and said, “Watch out. The big Fire Phoenix might act shamelessly!”
Conch laughed. “It’s fine. Master is there!”
“Alright, then. Be careful. In any case, I’m not going over there,” Little Yuan’er said.
At this moment…
“Yuan’er, bring the little Fire Phoenix here.”
“….”
