Chapter 529 Reunited
"Quick! Catch him before he reaches them!"
Yiren cried out, seeing the old man getting closer to the white barrier above the distant forest. It was definitely Xuefeng’s Wind Domain! He was coming to save her!
She felt really excited, figuring Xuefeng was in the middle of battle, passing those feelings to her. Their connection was a blessing for her, letting her know if he was safe at all tis.
"I’m trying... He is just teleporting to increase the distance," the Phoenix comnted annoyed, swinging with its wings even harder.
How could a King of the Skies let soone else win in a battle of speed?
Yiren barely held onto the Phoenix’s feathers, forced to lay down as if glued to avoid falling off.
"You brought it onto yourself! Let show you the power of an immortal!"
She heard the old man’s gibberish and then sensed an imnse power building up in front of her.
He was attacking!
"Dang it, we can’t stop him anymore," the Phoenix cursed, scaring Yiren even more.
She peeked curiously and saw a thick, two-ter bow in the hands of the old man. The bowstring was already pulled back, ready to release the shiny arrow made of Wind Qi.
"Noooooooo!" Yiren scread, extending her hand forward, hoping to disturb him with the power of her Bloodline yet she was too late.
Swoosh!
The old man released the arrow. It pierced through the sky with a whistle and entered into Xuefeng’s Domain right after, heading straight to the center.
Bang!
They heard a loud explosion and an imdiate pain struck Yiren’s back, giving her trouble to breathe. Fortunately, those were the only symptoms for her which ant only one thing.
Xuefeng was still alive!
———
Crack, crack.
The human statue began to break, chunks of tal dropping to the frozen ground.
"Au..." Xuefeng grunted in pain, feeling as if he was just hit with a baseball bat in his spine. "Are you okay?"
He held Princess Shan in his arms, blocking the strike with his own body. Compared to his own, her figure was much slimr, letting him cover her completely.
"I’m fine... What about you?" Princess Shan asked back, trying to help him stand. It was the least she could do after he protected her, using his own life to make sure she was safe.
"Yeah... Ling is already repairing the damage. I’m feeling great. The better question is, what was that?"
He looked around, checking where the attack ca from only to hear an alarm from Ming.
’I can sense Fate Qi! There is a Fate Holder in this Hidden Realm! Watch out for another arrow!’
He didn’t question her and imdiately tumbled away with Princess Shan in his grasp, calling out to the rest, "Watch out!"
Bang!
Another arrow smashed the ground, right at the spot he just left. This ti he saw the attack clearly. Wind Qi arrow, flying so fast he didn’t think he could dodge it without a warning.
Chunks of ice mixed with the ground flew everywhere
AWUUU!
To make it worse, multiple howls resounded from their surroundings at the sa ti. The wind barrier of their Dual Domain dispersed after they stopped controlling it, showing hundreds of wolves around them.
"We can’t fight from two fronts! We need to run!" Xuefeng decided as he lifted them up, realizing they were facing two enemies at the sa ti.
Too bad, there was nowhere to run!
Arrows fell from the sky while on the ground, they were surrounded.
SCREEEE!
A sudden screech solved one of their problems. The mont the wolves heard it, they ran away in all directions.
Xuefeng was in shock but not because of the sudden arrival of the beast that kidnapped Yiren but because of a massive anxiousness he felt.
Yiren was worrying about him and she was close! He could sense her!
"Xuefeng! Look!" Princess Shan tugged on his arm, pointing at the sky.
Through the two holes in the trees made by the arrows, they saw a massive flaming bird, chasing after a man with a bow. He was so close they could see his face, old and wrinkled.
"You are not going to dodge the third one! Die!" The old man cried out in a crazed voice, releasing another arrow.
Xuefeng learned one thing since he ca to this world. If you can’t dodge it, face it!
A dark blue scaled sword appeared in his hand and he swung it with all his strength, using the side of the blade as if a baseball bat.
Multiply!
Fate Qi got sucked into Dragon Edge, multiplying the power of his attack by a thousand tis.
BOOOOOM!
Wind Qi Arrow smashed against his blade only to bounce in all directions, blasting all the trees apart.
Aside from his arms hurting, Xuefeng was fine, gazing at the old man with a smile.
"Impossible!" the old man shouted in disbelief. "You are just a Monarch—"
Bang!
His words got cut off as the flaming bird reached him, smashing the old man with its wing.
"You forgot about !" the bird called out, sending the old man flying like a teor.
"Xuefeng!!!"
A loud, longing yell ca right after and they saw soone jump off the bird’s back.
"Yiren!"
Everyone shouted at the sa ti with Xuefeng rushing to catch her.
Thud.
He caught her into his arms, falling to the ground under her weight but he didn’t mind, hugging her without questions. No matter how much of a dummy she was, he still loved her.
"I was worried about you..." Yiren muttered, squeezing his neck lovingly.
"That’s what I’m supposed to say," Xuefeng replied. "I’m glad you are back in one piece."
He didn’t plan on scolding her any ti soon, knowing it wasn’t the right ti. A giant flaming bird was right above them, preparing to land and an old fate holder was hunting for him. It definitely wasn’t the right ti.
They were quickly surrounded by other girls who got into formation around them, making him stand up as well to join them.
Thud! Thud!
The giant bird finally landed with two loud stomps, instantly gawking its eyes at their group.
"Little Dragon! Co out and fight !" It cried out, not forgetting about its revenge.
The tips of their swords aid at the bird on instinct when Yiren called out to stop them, lowering their swords, "No! Stop! The Birdy is on our side! She protected !"
"Birdy? Our side? It’s a fucking Phoenix! We cannot trust her!" Drakos called out, hiding behind them. "Let’s fight her!"
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the Phoenix didn’t get mad but instead started laughing.
"Haha, of course, we will fight! One on one! This lady promised that," The Phoenix said while pointing at Yiren. "You wouldn’t lie to little girl, right?"
"Never! After we are safe, Drakos will fight with you as promised," Yiren confird with a nod.
There was only one person who disagreed with that move and that was the battle participant himself.
"There is no way—" Drakos denied imdiately only to have his mouth shut by Nuwa. She finished the sentence for him, "...I would miss a battle with you. That’s what he wanted to say."
"Perfect! I cannot wait," the Phoenix nodded happily.
"Yiren, do you know who that old man is?" Xuefeng questioned, recalling they ca from the sa direction.
He didn’t ask how did she convince a Phoenix to listen to her, leaving that for later.
"Oh!" Yiren exclaid as if she recalled sothing. "He is mad because I stole him sothing."
She pulled out a shiny white stone from her ring and passed it to him in full smiles, "Is this what you are looking for?"
