Chapter 132: Profound Soul Birds

"It's no use speaking now" Liu Teng said. "We should focus on killing these beasts"

Lu Zheng's expression tensed as his bloodline power poured like a raging volcano.

Ignition and Sun of the Vermillion True Flames were activated as his appearance transformed at once. A miniature sun appeared above his head.

The surroundings grew hotter and lava pools formed on the grassy terrain. Dharma [1] of fire path forcefully formed in the centre of the forest.

The beasts slowed down as the light from the miniature sun shone upon them.

The ice Qi and death Qi surrounding the serpent and spider disappeared as the fire Qi surrounding the first beast was bent under Lu Zheng's will. Even the ape lost the golden lustre around it.

Houyan Meili's appearance also changed. Her flowing hair became red as Vermillion True Flame engulfed her body. Her height increased as the fire Qi emanating from her became much more potent.

"Alright!" Liu Teng's expression became joyful. "Let's kill some beasts"

Lu Zheng's black hair fluttered in the wind as he fought the giant serpent.

He wielded his sword expertly, leaving many thin cuts on the body of the serpent. Bloody lines decorated the white scales of the serpent.

"Hiss!"

The serpent hissed as a chilly breath escaped its mouth. Ice Qi flowed and Lu Zheng's arm turned into thick ice.

"Hmph!" Vermillion True Flame combusted, burning the ice away as Sun Cutting Wheels formed around him.

In an instant, the Sun Cutting Wheels cut around the serpent's body.

"Hiss!" The serpent hissed angrily as ice Qi thickened around it. However, the sunlight from the Sun of the Vermillion True Flames burnt it.

The serpent was at a loss.

Lu Zheng's dark pupils glistened as he continued his frenzied attacks. Fire Qi burnt at the red edge of the sword and ice Qi danced around its blue edge.

Blue lightning collected in Lu Zheng's palm as he threw it at the serpent's head.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared as lightning crackled, sizzling the serpent's head. Its blue eyes turned white from rage as it continued to attack Lu Zheng.

Houyan Meili also fought alone. Her opponent was the first beast.

Its eyes were black from pain and fear as its body was covered with char. The smell of roasted meat could be perceived from it.

"Profound Soul Birds" Houyan Meili's thoughts shifted.

Pink Vermillion True Flame collected as numerous birds the size of an infant's fist formed around her.

The birds chirped soundlessly as they dove towards the fiery beast.

"Roar!"

Red flames burnt on its body as a column of flames formed from its mouth, engulfing many of the Profound Soul Birds.

"Hmph!" Houyan Meili snorted as she controlled her bloodline power.

The Profound Soul Birds that remained struck the beast, exploding soundlessly in pink infernos.

"Roar!" The beast cried out inn pain. Many parts of its colossal body was covered in soot and blood.

It was already on its last legs.

A short distance away, Yen Ku Feng and the two men by his side watched the fight between beasts and men.

"Brother Nian Qing…" Yen Ku Feng said slowly as he watched the fight.

The man at his right nodded as he responded: "Do you want me to interfere?"

"Hmm" Yen Ku Feng nodded. "Kill the female Vermillion Bird"

"No" The third man said.

"What do you mean, Brother Man Xiong?" Yen Ku Feng asked in surprise.

"The female Vermillion Bird is quite strong and would soon kill Shen Tu Len. Even if he is saved, his battle strength has become obsolete from injuries. Moreover, killing the female Vermillion Bird might not affect the course of this battle" Man Xiong analysed.

"What do you then suggest we do, Brother Man Xiong?" Nian Qing asked.

"Kill the male Vermillion Bird. The miniature sun he created is affecting the Four Abominations negatively. When he dies, the Four Abominations would return to their peak strengths and we can easily destroy what is left of Thousand Incarnations Sect"

"I understand" Yen Ku Feng nodded as Nian Qing disappeared from where he stood.
