Ling Guang’s large hand was still pressed on top of Si Wuya’s head. When Ling Guang’s hand slid down his head, it left terrifying bloodstains on his head before it turned into dust.

Si Wuya was stunned. He quickly tried to grab Ling Guang but only managed to grab a fistful of sand and dust.

Mount Halcyon was dark and silent. The moon that hung high in the sky dispelled a little of the darkness, and it reflected beautifully off the surface of the sea.

Si Wuya bent down, going through the pile of sand and dust, but he found nothing. There was nothing. He hurriedly rose to his feet, forgetting about the pain as he rushed toward the Halcyon Bird. He grabbed the Halcyon Bird and shook it angrily as he shouted, “Tell me what’s going on?!”

The Halcyon Bird could not move.

Si Wuya saw the bloody holes on the Halcyon Bird’s body. Its blood was purplish-black under the moonlight, not bright red.

The Halcyon Bird’s beaks that were tightly shut suddenly parted. Its head tilted to the side as it exhaled its final breath.

Si Wuya kept shouting, “Answer me! Answer me!”

His voice echoed through Mount Halcyon and into the distance. In the lonely and cold night, it sounded unusually weak and desolate.

‘No one can answer my question!’ With this thought, Si Wuya, who was famous for rationality and maintaining his composure, seemed to have gone crazy. He raised his hand and formed an energy knife before he slashed at the Halcyon Bird’s body in a frenzy. He tore it into thousands of pieces.

When Si Wuya was exhausted, he finally stopped and sat on the ground limply in a daze. The sound of the waves, the cries of the beasts, and the blowing night wind gradually pulled him back to his senses.

He lifted his head and looked at the pieces of the Halcyon Bird’s corpse and the pile of sand and dust that used to be Ling Guang. Then, he saw three life hearts lying quietly among the Halcyon Bird’s remains. Two of them were already damaged, likely from Ling Guang’s violent attacks. As for Ling Guang, there were no life hearts or anything but a pile of sand and dust.

Human’s cultivation was based on killing fierce beasts and taking away their life hearts. Fierce beasts occupied a large territory, absorbing vitality energy and the world’s essence. Moreover, they ate humans as well.

Ling Guang did not behind any life hearts; this indicated that he was human.

Si Wuya recalled the words from earlier as he muttered to himself, “Am I the descendant of the Fire Deity?”

After a moment, he inhaled deeply and rose to his feet. After collecting the life heart, he made his way to the underground palace. However, when he walked past what remained of Ling Guang, he froze. If what he heard earlier was true, then Ling Guang should be properly buried, right? The dead was important. Even if he had no relationship with Ling Guang, there was no doubt that Ling Guang had saved him with his life, and he was only alive due to Ling Guang’s grace.

Thinking of this, Si Wuya turned around. Just as he was about to collect the sand and dust, a gust of wind blew past, scattering the sand and dust into the air.

Si Wuya fell into a daze for a moment. He hurriedly collected his thoughts and rushed to the underground palace. When he arrived, he saw the huge skeleton waving its hand around, attacking three people.

Huang Shijie flew above the skeleton and unleashed energy seals.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not only was the skeleton safe and sound, but it even managed to send Huang Shijie flying.

“Master!” Jiang Aijian flew out and caught Huang Shijie.

At this time, Li Jinyi collided with the huge skeleton.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unfortunately, the trio had not entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage yet. They were sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Si Wuya cried out, “Let me deal with it!”

Si Wuya tossed the Peacock Plume out. Then, it landed on his back, and a pair of golden wings unfurled in the air.

The trio was shocked when they saw how much Si Wuya resembled the Fire Deity at this moment.

Jiang Aijian chuckled and said, “You really look like Ling Guang.”

Si Wuya flapped his wings and flew to the top of the skeleton. Then, he manifested his astrolabe and pushed it down.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The power of two Birth Charts landed on the skeleton.

“Two Birth Charts? Brother, come one. You can do it.” Jiang Aijian kept nagging at the side.

Si Wuya flew in the air before he released countless golden needles from his wings.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The skeleton was again unscathed.

Huang Shijie clutched his chest and said, “It’s guarding the entrance of the underground palace. It’s very powerful. Don’t fight it head-on.”

Si Wuya put his astrolabe away. He flapped his wings and flew into the distance. Then, he said, “Island Master Huang is right. Jiang Aijian, destroy the stone tablet behind the skeleton.”

“Alright.” Jiang Aijian unsheathed Dragonsong and flew toward the stone tablet.

Boom!

The stone tablet with a flash of light. Following that, golden scripts appeared on the skeleton before disappearing just as quickly. Then, it stopped moving.

Si Wuya brought out his astrolabe again. “Be careful. It might still spring to life. Make way.”

The trio dragged their injured bodies to the side.

Si Wuya kept bombarding the skeleton until nothing was left. After he landed on the ground, he sighed in relief and asked, “Are all of you okay?”

“We’re fine. It’s all thanks to the Fire Deity. Otherwise, we’d all be dead,” Huang Shijie said as he endured the pain.

“It’s really scary. I won’t do this kind of work next time no matter the incentive,” Jiang Aijian said with a smile, “It’d be unfair if you don’t give me all the swords in the Sky Martial Academy.”

“I’ll give them to you,” Si Wuya said with a smile, “However, don’t you want the swords in the underground palace?”

“Of course, I want them! I almost forgot about them,” Jiang Aijian said. Then, he flew above the underground palace and brought out a black box.

When Jiang Aijian was about to put the swords away, a glooming voice rang from the distance.

“What a pity. Ling Guang is a fool.”

The four of them spun around and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a charred Yang Liansheng crawling over. His face was a mess of charred flesh, and he had lost his lower body.

“Yang Liansheng?” Si Wuya retreated.

“He’s still alive?!” Jiang Aijian felt nauseous.

“After Ling Guang massacred the Halcyon clan, I was thinking of ways to deal with his true fire. I didn’t expect that he still… had it…” Yang Liansheng said. Then, his voice was filled with hatred as he continued to say, “You could have lived, but now, I want you to die with me!”

Following that, Yang Liansheng smacked his hands on the ground and shot out like an arrow toward Si Wuya.

Si Wuya flapped his wings and flew back, dodging Yang Liansheng’s attacks.

Upon seeing this, Yang Liansheng’s voice was filled with even more hatred as he said, “The descendant of the Fire Deity, huh?”

As Si Wuya manifested his astrolabe, he said, “You’re just like an arrow at the end of its flight. Why bother?”

Yang Liansheng scoffed. “You underestimated me. I’ve passed the second Birth Trial, you know? Even if Ling Guang reduced my cultivation base to that of someone who has only based the first Birth Trial, I’m still superior to trash like you!”

When Yang Liansheng landed on the ground, he smacked his hand on the ground and propelled himself toward Si Wuya again. An energy seal and an astrolabe appeared at the same time in front of him.

Seven or eight Birth Charts on the astrolabe were dimmed, burnt by the flames. The remaining three or four Birth Charts that were still shining looked as though they were on the verge of shattering.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Aijian sighed and thought to himself, “He’s really f*cking tenacious!’

Si Wuya did not try to fight Yang Liansheng. Instead, he used his wings to dodge. His goal was to exhaust Yang Liansheng to death. He thought to himself regretfully, ‘If only I’d brought Di Jiang.’

Yang Liansheng chased after Si Wuya for a while before he realized Si Wuya’s cunning. With that, he immediately switched targets and flew toward Jiang Aijian, Li Jinyi, and Huang Shijie. He cried out, “He has wings, but all of you don’t!”

The first person Yang Liansheng pounced on was Huang Shijie.

Buzz!

Huang Shijie instinctively summoned his avatar.

Bang!

Yang Liansheng crashed into the avatar.

A hole appeared on the avatar’s body as Huang Shijie flew out, crashing against the entrance of the underground palace. His clothes was drenched in blood.

Li Jinyi and Jiang Aijian cried out, “Master!”

“Don’t mind me! Go!” Huang Shijie shouted.

“None of you can leave!” Yang Liansheng laughed. Although he had lost his lower body, his upper body was strong and his hands were dexterous. His attacks were tricky to deal with as well. He pounced toward Huang Shijie again.

Li Jinyi flew out horizontally. Then, she cast the Penglai’s Green Bird technique, which managed to block Yang Liansheng for a short moment.

However, Yang Liansheng broke through Li Jinyi’s defense like a hot knife through butter. When he arrived in front of her, he pushed his hand out.

“Junior sister, Dodge!”

Li Jinyi spun to the side as Jiang Aijian leaped up and held Dragonsong up to block in front of him.

Bang!

When Yang Liansheng’s hand hit Dragonsong, it hit Jiang Aijian’s chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yang Liansheng’s killing intent rose.

At this moment, Si Wuya swooped down from the sky. How could he just watch when the trio was in trouble? He unleashed tens of thousands of energy needles that pierced Yang Liansheng’s body.

Yang Liansheng remained unmoved and continued to pounce on Huang Shijie and the others.

Si Wuya could only land and retract his wings. Then, he used his Peacock Plume to fight an intense battle with Yang Liansheng.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Out of the four of them, only Si Wuya could fight Yang Liansheng. Although they were both injured, Yang Liansheng’s injuries were more serious. Nonetheless, the battle was highly intense.

The two of them fought for a long time.

An hour later.

When Yang Liansheng felt death creeping up on him, he roared. Blood-red energy seals burst forth from his body toward Si Wuya.

Si Wuya retreated and brought Huang Shijie with him.

Li Jinyi leaped and landed in the underground palace.

“Don’t worry about us! Go!” Huang Shijie grabbed Li Jinyi, and the two of them flew backward.

“You want to escape?!”

Yang Liusheng leaped into the air as more blood-red energy seals burst out from his body.

Si Wuya could only turn the Peacock Plume into wings again. He flapped his wings, unleashing countless energy needles in an attempt to stop red energy seals.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Alas, despite their number, the needles were small, and there were too many energy seals.

The energy seals like spider webs snaked down from all directions and quickly wove an inescapable net around the space within a radius of 1,000 meters. The rocks, treasures, and swords that came in contact with the energy seals were immediately stuck to them.

Yang Liansheng laughed like a madman. His expression was fierce as he said, “Ling Guang! I hope you’re watching as I kill your descendant!”

The energy thread snaked toward the four of them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Si Wuya felt as though tens of thousands of ants were gnawing on his body. Sweat broke out on his forehead due to the excruciating pain. His wings vanished, and he dropped to the ground. His body was tightly bound by the red energy thread.

Huang Shijie raised his head and cried out, “Si Wuya!”

Li Jinyi was also helpless.

Jiang Aijian was lying on the ground, unable to extricate himself from the red energy threads.

They were cornered with no way out.

Si Wuya chuckled before he began to laugh. As he laughed, tears streamed down his face.

Yang Liansheng said angrily, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at you for being pitiful, pathetic, and for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you really think you can kill me?” Si Wuya said. His eyes were faintly suffused with a red light at this time. It seemed to boost his will and strength. It was… It was as though he was the Fire Deity.

Yang Liansheng said, “Brat, have you forgotten what this place is? This is Mount Halcyon. You’re in the underground palace where Ling Guang was sealed for nearly 100,000 years! Who do you think you are?! Die!”

A red energy thread pierced Si Wuya’s chest, and the red light in his eyes dimmed by a third. He said fiercely, “You dare?!”

“You can rage all you want. It’s just the struggle of the weak. Now, die!”

Another red energy thread pierced Si Wuya’s chest.

Blood slid down his chest.

Yang Liansheng knew the descendant of the Fire Deity would not die so easily. He mobilized thousands of red energy threads, clearing the rubble and debris. With that, the runes in the underground palace lit up.

The place where they had first seen Ling Guang was shining as well.

At this time, Si Wuya’s consciousness became a little clearer, and his entire body erupted with light as he wrestled with Yang Liansheng.

The red threads were pulled taut.

It all depended on who gave up first. Willpower was the key to deciding the outcome.

“If I die, you’ll have to die with meI deserve to die!” Yang Liansheng gritted his teeth before laughing wildly.

At this moment, Jiang Aijian swung Dragonsong with all his might.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After cutting off the red energy threads, he spat out a mouthful of blood and said, “Let him go.”

“What? You’re going to stop me?” Yang Liansheng sneered.

Whoosh!

A red energy thread flew toward Jiang Aijian, but he swung Dragonsong expressionlessly, cutting off the energy thread,

“Huh?” Yang Liansheng felt something was amiss at this moment.

Jiang Aijian stabbed Dragonsong into the ground. He inhaled deeply before he brought a black box out.

Upon seeing this, Huang Shijie cried out anxiously, “Jiang Aijian, put that away!”

Jiang Aijian grinned and said, “Master, it’s fine.”

“You’re not in the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. Y-you can’t control the Sword Box!”

“Eldest Senior Brother?!” Li Jinyi’s eyes were red as she kept shaking her head.

Jiang Aijian grinned at both of them and said, “I said it’s fine. Master, let me tell you a secret. Earlier, I… broke through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage.”

Buzz!

Jiang Aijian’s avatar appeared around him. His aura suddenly changed as his vitality energy fluctuated. With that, his cultivation base soared immediately.

The Sword Box thrummed.

At the same time, all the swords in the underground palace thrummed and buzzed before they clanked against each other, sounding like the bells that rang in the summer wind.
