Chapter 156 Nether Phoenix

At this moment, everyone finally noticed that Chen Xiao was missing and immediately began to discuss it.

"Where did Mr. Chen go? Why can't we see him?"

"It seems like he didn't come back with us."

"Could it be that he sacrificed himself to save us and was sucked into the abyss?"

This question immediately plunged everyone into silence.

"Everyone, stop standing around! Quickly think of a way to save him!"

Xiao Li hurriedly suggested.

"Young man, you've seen it yourself. The wind hasn't stopped yet, and we are powerless!"

Chu He shook his head, his face full of helplessness. "Mr. Chen was a good man, it's just a pity..."

For Chu He, this wasn't just a matter of regret, it was simply too unworthy!

If Chen Xiao was the true savior, then it shouldn't have been Chen Xiao who died, but them... even if none of them survived, Chen Xiao absolutely couldn't die!

At this moment, Xiao Hongchan said, "Big brother is fine, he won't die!"

"Little friend, how do you know?"

Chu Qingluan asked.

Xiao Hongchan glanced at Chu Qingluan and muttered, "I just know!"

Just then, with a whoosh, the Yitian Sword flew up and headed straight for the abyss.

Chu He looked towards that direction and silently prayed in his heart, "Mr. Chen, please don't let anything happen to you!"

...

Of course, Chen Xiao would be fine, even though he was still falling.

He didn't know how deep this abyss was, but it reminded him of four words—Jiu Yi Zhi Yuan (the abyss of Jiu Yi)!

The reason he sent all those martial artists away was that he didn't want them to hinder him from finding the Sacred Relic... As for sacrificing himself for righteousness, they were just overthinking it. Chen Xiao wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

The surroundings were pitch black, and Chen Xiao could only see the light from the abyss entrance.

And that light was getting further and further away from him.

He was still falling rapidly, the wind whistling past his ears, and the Yitian Sword was even faster than him, already catching up.

Chen Xiao flipped over and stepped on the Yitian Sword. Only then did he finally discover a glimmer of light at the bottom of the abyss.

It was a blue light, eerie and cold.

Yet, it was like a flame, appearing to burn fiercely.

Chen Xiao was getting closer and closer to that flame, and as the distance decreased, he finally saw the full picture of the flame.

It was a giant fire phoenix, but... the flames on its body weren't fiery red, but eerie and cold blue.

Equally eerie and cold was the look in the phoenix's eyes.

That look was extremely sinister, and unusually fierce.

Just one glance made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and even Chen Xiao felt a chill down his spine when he met its gaze.

Upon getting closer, Chen Xiao discovered that this wasn't an ordinary phoenix either.

That was nonsense, how could any phoenix be ordinary?

But this one was particularly extraordinary.

Because half of this phoenix's head had no feathers, only white bones were exposed.

This was a Nether Phoenix!

A Nether Phoenix, in other words, a dead phoenix!

Chen Xiao finally understood why the flames on this fire phoenix were blue.

Because when a phoenix became a Nether Phoenix, the Phoenix Flames on its body would also turn into Netherworld Ghost Fire!

The Nether Phoenix landed on a giant wutong (Chinese Parasol Tree) tree, which had also been dead for a long time.

The thick and huge trunk had long become withered.

Chen Xiao stepped on the Yitian Sword and descended to a height of less than a thousand meters from the Nether Phoenix.

He didn't know if the wind had stopped, but Chen Xiao could no longer feel the powerful hurricane here.

Chen Xiao didn't continue to descend, because he felt that the Nether Phoenix's sinister gaze had locked onto him.

For a moment, Chen Xiao didn't know what to do, because he sensed great danger from this Nether Phoenix.

Even with his strength, provoking this Nether Phoenix wouldn't be a wise choice.

But he had already come this far, Chen Xiao couldn't just return empty-handed.

"Junior Chen Xiao, greets Senior! Passing by your noble land, Junior has no intention of offending..."

Since he had already been discovered, Chen Xiao stopped thinking about hiding and simply greeted the Nether Phoenix.

This greeting was a disaster. Originally, the Nether Phoenix was just staring at him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could finish his greeting, the Nether Phoenix immediately opened its mouth and cried out!

"Li—"

The cry was extremely sharp, causing Chen Xiao's heart to ache, and he almost fell off the Yitian Sword.

And this cry was just the beginning.

The Nether Phoenix spread its huge wings and flew up.

Only then did Chen Xiao realize how huge this Nether Phoenix was!

The spread wings were two to three hundred meters wide, a magnificent sight!

"Li—"

The Nether Phoenix cried out and charged towards Chen Xiao.

With just one flap of its wings, the Nether Phoenix covered the thousand-meter distance and was already within reach!

"Li—"

The Nether Phoenix didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Xiao at all. It attacked as soon as they met, and after a shriek, it spat out a stream of Nether Fire, burning towards Chen Xiao.

"Damn it, you dead bird, you're not even going to reason with me, are you!"

The Nether Phoenix started burning without saying a word, and Chen Xiao's short temper flared up.

Relying on the Canglan Sacred Body, he didn't take the Nether Fire seriously. He faced the ghost fire and threw a punch at the Nether Phoenix!

However, when his punch landed on the Nether Phoenix, the other party didn't react at all.

On the contrary, Chen Xiao was almost burned off the Yitian Sword!

"What the..."

Chen Xiao was shocked because he discovered that his Canglan Sacred Body couldn't withstand the dead bird's Nether Fire.

His eyebrows and hair were almost burned off, and he was burned with many wounds all over his body.

This was him; if it were an ordinary person, this mouthful of Nether Fire would have burned away not only their life but even their soul.

The Nether Phoenix was also obviously surprised that Chen Xiao was still alive, and a trace of doubt appeared in its eyes.

But that doubt was only fleeting... if one mouthful doesn't kill you, then have another!

"Li—"

With this phoenix cry, another stream of dark blue flames burned towards Chen Xiao.

This time, Chen Xiao didn't dare to resist head-on and hurriedly steered the Yitian Sword downwards!

Chen Xiao headed straight for the wutong tree. He wanted to land on the wutong tree and fight the Nether Phoenix again.

After all, his strongest killing move required the Yitian Sword, and he was currently in mid-air, relying on the Yitian Sword to fly!

That wutong tree was truly too big. Chen Xiao didn't expect to see such a large wutong tree in a place like Earth.

The entire tree was bottomless. Chen Xiao estimated that it was at least ten thousand meters tall, and the top of its trunk was as thick as an entire basketball court.

Even the thinnest branch was as thick as five people could hug.

Chen Xiao landed on the top of the tree trunk, holding the Yitian Sword, his sharp gaze met the diving Nether Phoenix.

"Come on, dead bird, today I'll show you what I'm made of!"
