Chapter 100: The Phoenix and the Fox together once again

The intense pressure, resulting from the power of space-time, only affected Elder Mou.

All the other people, confined inside that barrier, could move freely.

So, Yue jolted back when she saw that myriad of roots disintegrate in front of her, and with a simple flap of wings, she found herself beside Xifeng and Xue, ready to sacrifice her life for them.

Fortunately, nothing strange happened after that terrible event, so Yue continued to observe her head suspended in the air.

Those strange sounds didn't continue for long.

A few breaths later, a mighty laugh, followed by an arrogant statement, sounded once again inside the barrier.

"HAHAHA… Fool! I wasn't hiding!"

BOOM!!

Elder Mou's head exploded into thousands of fragments, and a faint light blue wisp suddenly appeared in the same spot where the head was.

The beam of light suddenly snapped towards the barrier with incredible speed.

Unfortunately for that little thing, the mysterious individual was much faster than it.

And before it could break through the barrier, a monstrous force dragged the wisp in a particular direction.

"Hehehe... little bastard, where do you think you're going?"

The beam of light vanished, engulfed by a strange white portal, which appeared just then a dozen paces from Xifeng and her group.

Yue and Xue only noticed that strange portal at that moment, and, shocked by its sudden appearance, they positioned themselves in front of Xifeng, ready to fight.

They did not have to wait long because a few breaths later, an old man came out of the portal, followed by a giant flying ship.

When the two saw that strange man, Yue took a step forward and shouted, pointing one of her swords at him: "Don't go any further or..."

The old man raised his hands in surrender and spoke, with a gentle smile: "Hey… little birds, is that how you thank me? Calm down. I'm not your enemy."

Hearing the response, Yue did not lower her weapons and instead shouted, once again: "Thank you for what? As far as I know, you could be another one of those bastards! Don't get any closer!"

"Bha… Me, one of those slimy beasts? You are crazy!" The old man yelled angrily at Yue's words, and then, without wasting any more time, he directed his gaze towards Xifeng: "Little girl, we finally found you!"

Xifeng, still weakened by that damned object in her belly, looked curiously at the old man, who for some absurd reason seems to know her, and asked: "Who the hell are you?"

Somehow, that strange man made her a little apprehensive.

After all, she couldn't do anything in her current condition, even talking about her was difficult for her.

"Hehe... little girl, you can call me Old Huang... Or if you prefer Grandpa, just as this girl calls me..." The old man smiled at her, and then with a simple gesture of his hand, he made the body of a beautiful girl appear next to her.

Xifeng turned her gaze to the left, and, as if struck by lightning, she stood there staring at the young woman's face.

An immense amount of memories surfaced in her mind.

Xifeng recognized that beautiful face.

For the past few years, she'd been looking for that mischievous girl all over the Mortal Realm, but she'd never found any trace of her.

And now she was right there, just an arm away from her.

Xifeng knew it was real because she could clearly smell the scent of her body, but she still wanted to ascertain if the girl was indeed there, so she moved her hands forward, and her fingers lightly touched the girl's soft cheeks.

Xifeng sighed in relief, feeling the warmth from the soft skin, and spoke a simple word, with an enchanting smile on her face: "Liang'er..."

She was sure... it wasn't a dream.

'You really are here...' Xifeng thought aloud in her mind and then placed her face on YueLiang's belly, weeping with joy.

Hundreds of years, this was the time they had spent together.

Hundreds of years had forged a deep bond between them, which went beyond the simple feeling between sisters.

Unfortunately, that terrible day, when her heart was pierced by the blades of those monsters, Xifeng felt that bond shatter, but now after seeing YueLiang's face again, a new and even more powerful bond formed.

The arrogant phoenix and the mischievous fox had finally found each other, and they were ready to shock the world once again...

Xue and Yue stared in shock at the scene in front of them, as it was rare for them to see Xifeng cry like that.

That girl... that girl was so similar to one of those portraits...

Who was that girl to Xifeng?

Xifeng looked so happy... what was going on?

Many questions crossed their mind, but for some reason, they couldn't speak in front of that scene, so they let Xifeng shed her tears in peace and turned their perplexed gazes to the old man.

But the old man shook his head: "Don't look at me like that. If you want to know what's going on, ask her."

After saying those words, Old Huang ignored the two girls and began to look at the barrier with curiosity.

"Interesting… That bastard is still alive. Unfortunately for him, this stupid barrier is useless with me here..." Old Huang shook his wrinkled hand, and the immense barrier, which sealed the city, shattered, revealing the shining moon again.

People inside and outside the city looked shocked at the sky full of stars, and a question spontaneously arose in their minds... Was it really over?

Not even the warriors from the Profound Sapphire City could believe their eyes.

A battle, which seems impossible, ended so easily thanks to the help of those three girls.

The phoenix had burned the giants with its shattering flames, leaving behind a sea of lava, and the two girls had killed the hooded warriors with their deadly blades.

A miracle had occurred right in front of their eyes, and the beginning of a legend had been created... The legendary battle for the city of water.
