Seeing that the black aura could not get close, Xu Chuan finally showed a satisfied expression.
However, what he had to face next was somewhat of a headache for Xu Chuan!
According to the current situation, if he wanted to obtain the Golden Crow Egg and the Phoenix Seal, he had to deal with this demonized Phoenix Ancestor.
But the problem Xu Chuan was currently facing was that he simply couldn't defeat this being!
No matter how powerful he appeared when he clashed with Feng Hao before, it was all illusory.
Such a reckless burst of power was something that even he, himself, would not dare to do again in a short time.
Besides, his body truly couldn't take it anymore!
What's more, even if he burst out again, he still wouldn't be able to win!
A half-emperor peak expert in a demonized and distorted state, even if his current strength was only at the eighth level of the Heavenly King realm, was still not someone he could deal with!
But Xu Chuan looked at the Golden Crow Egg and the Phoenix Seal within arm's reach and was unwilling to give up just like that.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Xu Chuan decided to take a gamble!
"Xuan Lie, come out and get to business!"
Of course, he couldn't do it alone.
This was the time for Xuan Lie to make an appearance!
After this period of recovery, Xuan Lie's injuries were mostly healed.
With him here, the two of them, man and beast, working together, had a very high chance of defeating the Phoenix Ancestor and obtaining these two items!
"Ha~"
At Xu Chuan's summon, Xuan Lie appeared here, yawning.
The surrounding black true fire, unable to get close to Xu Chuan, all surged towards Xuan Lie.
However, Xuan Lie, being a water-avoiding Xuan Turtle at the peak of the Heavenly King realm, even while injured, was not something that mere true fire could harm.
Shaking off the black true fire from his body, Xuan Lie opened his hazy eyes and said lazily, "Little Xu, didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's something big?"
He had been having a wonderful dream, dreaming that he had become the patriarch of the Xuan Turtle clan, with countless beautiful Xuan Turtle maidens throwing themselves into his embrace, and was about to indulge himself in the company of beautiful women when Xu Chuan pulled him out.
At this moment, he was full of morning grumpiness.
"Stop being glib and look at what's in front of you!"
Seeing Xuan Lie's demeanor, Xu Chuan rubbed his forehead and then reminded him.
Only then did Xuan Lie perk up and look ahead.
He didn't know until he looked, and when he did, he was shocked.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing!?"
Xuan Lie was directly startled by the monstrously demonized Phoenix Ancestor in front of him.
"No way, starting with such a big show as soon as I come out!?"
Xuan Lie immediately transformed into human form and said exaggeratedly with his mouth agape.
At this moment, he could also sense the power of this Phoenix Ancestor.
And at this moment, the demonized Phoenix Ancestor, Feng Wuji, began to attack again.
However, his target of attack had changed from Xu Chuan alone to both Xu Chuan and Xuan Lie.
"Is it targeting me?" Xuan Lie, now in the form of a burly man, said speechlessly.
"Come on, if we join forces, we still have a chance to take him down!"
With that, Xu Chuan initiated the attack, holding his sword "Bu Wang" and unfolding his sword domain. The Golden Ancient Hall enveloped the surroundings, providing him with support.
Then, he slashed out with his sword, striking the Phoenix Ancestor heavily.
"Roar!"
The Phoenix Ancestor cried out in pain, letting out a long howl.
Although it was demonized and had lost its consciousness, it had not lost its sense of pain.
Seeing this, Xuan Lie was not to be outdone.
With a claw in the air, a somewhat ostentatious black halberd appeared in his hand.
The halberd emanated a terrifying aura.
This was the first time Xu Chuan had seen Xuan Lie wield his weapon, and he couldn't help but look a few more times.
Swinging the halberd, a terrifying halberd wave appeared and abruptly slashed down at the Phoenix Ancestor.
Boom!
An explosion sounded, and shockwaves instantly scattered.
As expected of Xuan Lie, he unleashed a powerful move from the outset!
"Roar~ Hiss!"
After suffering two consecutive attacks, the Phoenix Ancestor could no longer bear it.
It opened its mouth, and a terrifying energy gathered in its mouth.
Then, it directly spat it out, its speed so fast that it instantly reached Xu Chuan and Xuan Lie.
"Careful!"
Xuan Lie warned.
Xu Chuan nodded. The golden light emanating from the Golden Ancient Hall instantly intensified, enveloping the two of them without any blind spots.
Bang!
A loud noise came, and that ball of terrifying energy was blocked.
However, before Xu Chuan and Xuan Lie could catch their breath, countless black feathers suddenly appeared in the sky, shooting towards the two of them.
"Damn it, playing dirty, are we?!"
Xuan Lie's face darkened. He swung his halberd, blocking these feathers one by one.
Fierce explosions echoed in the void.
"Watch this!"
Xu Chuan shouted, taking a step forward, and then raising "Bu Wang."
"Heaven Slaying God Annihilation!"
Instantly, countless sword qi formed.
The next moment, under Xu Chuan's control, all the sword qi flew towards the Phoenix Ancestor.
Boom!
These attacks landed on the Phoenix Ancestor, directly blasting him away and into the darkness.
Seeing this scene, even Xuan Lie was stunned.
"Holy crap, it's only been a while since I last saw him, and this kid has gotten stronger again?"
"No way?"
Xu Chuan's progress in martial arts had once again shocked Xuan Lie.
What kind of monstrous genius was this!
But this was not the time to ponder these things.
Not far away, the Phoenix Ancestor, who had been blown away by Xu Chuan's attack, reappeared.
Roar, roar!
With roars, it began to absorb the scattered black aura from the entire sea of fire.
With every bit it absorbed, the Phoenix Ancestor's strength grew stronger.
The successive attacks had completely enraged it.
It now had only one thought: to kill these two ants in front of them.
The Phoenix Ancestor, strengthened by the black aura, attacked again.
Its target was Xu Chuan, this weak ant.
Its huge claws swiped out continuously, clawing at Xu Chuan.
With such attacks, Xu Chuan could only defend passively.
But after a few moves, Xu Chuan felt his arms go numb and his bones ache severely.
At this moment, he was still unable to engage in prolonged head-on combat with such a being.
After all, there was a huge gap in strength.
This was not something that innate talent could compensate for.
"Little Xu, hold on, leave the rest to me!"
Not far away, Xuan Lie shouted.
He also knew that they couldn't drag this out any longer.
If this old phoenix absorbed all the black aura, then neither of them would be able to leave today!
Moreover, how could he possibly be outshone by Xu Chuan? Where would he hide his face?
At this moment, he no longer cared about his injuries and was boosting his cultivation to the fullest.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his peak.
Holding his halberd, terrifying energy was gathering on it.
This time, he was going to deliver a killing blow!
"Slash!"
Xuan Lie roared, and the halberd fell.
"Divine Punishment!"
Xu Chuan also raised his saber high, unwilling to be outdone, and intended to deliver the most powerful blow to the Phoenix Ancestor!
Rumble!
Under their combined efforts, attacking from both sides, their attacks instantly broke through the black aura surrounding the Phoenix Ancestor's body and aimed directly at its physical form.
Xuan Lie's halberd directly suppressed the Phoenix Ancestor, piercing into its body from above and running it through!
Xu Chuan's attack also landed, directly severing one of the Phoenix Ancestor's wings.
Roar, roar!
The Phoenix Ancestor roared out in pain, and Xu Chuan and Xuan Lie could clearly feel its agony.
"Kill me."
"Quick!"
Under such pain, the Phoenix Ancestor regained a sliver of consciousness and roared at the two of them.
