A Rise in Fame

When the seventh-hand flying knife fell into Liao Yong's body, his half-black and half-white face twisted. The other parts of his body began to bulge and swell. A pair of wings, one black and one white, sprouted from his back.

The surface of his body glowed as the black and white lightning mixed with his blood.

The three-color lightning intertwined and covered Liao Yong's body in an instant. It was condensed into a giant thunderbird that was ten feet in size. It resembled the legendary ancient beast called the Thunder Roc!

[Editor's note: The word used here is actually "thunder peng". The peng is a giant bird in Chinese mythology, which we felt corresponds closely enough to the roc that English-speakers are more likely to be familiar with.]

The body of the Thunder Roc was blood-red with wings of black and white!

As soon as the transformation was complete, it made a sharp scream as it flew toward Shi Mu at great speed.
