Accompanying the Phoenix

Chapter 52

Chapter 52.1

Shen Li had previous experience of fighting against such weird people, but according to what the soldiers and generals said, those weird people seemed to be even more powerful now.

Just in case, Shen Li deliberately asked three generals of the army to go with her.

They all fought against those weird people a few days ago and were more experienced and capable than others.

“The point of this trip is not to kill the enemy, but to catch them alive, even if only one person is captured back it’s good enough. Bring back the creature to study so we can find out their fatal points in case they attack us later.” Shen Li urged before departure.

Then said, “But don’t try too hard.”

General Dao Mu smiled: “Is the King treating us as new soldiers? The most unpleasant things on the battlefield, we know. We’ve seen it all.”

Shen Li nodded: “Several generals are all elites in the army, your clan doesn’t lose to anybody.” She sighed and set off.

Shen Li didn’t need to return to the palace to change, she has always been in light armor, ready to go on expeditions.

Riding on the clouds, they traveled extremely fast. From time to time, they could see down the red field of the land where the demons had fought. They hurried away, trying to get there as fast as possible. Not far to the north was Tianyuan Xu…

With sharp eyes, Shen Li glanced down on the cloud and saw that a creature was grabbing a child, holding the child’s arms with both hands and opening his mouth, as if he was about to tear the child to eat. The child was so scared he forgot to cry only staring at the creature in a daze.

Suddenly, a silver light slashed from the right side, and the spear blade was like a knife, slashing down, cutting off the demon’s hand.

Shen Li knew how strong their bodies were, so this shot did not spare any effort and cut off the hand of the demon.

The blade of the weapon hit the ground fiercely, and its strength poured into the earth vigorously, the surrounding vegetation trembled.

The creature raised his head and hissed. The blood from his two broken arms splashed on the child’s face. However, the child just looked at Shen Li’s back, as if he had not realized that he had been rescued.

Shen Li didn’t have time to take care of the child and only threw him behind her into the grass.

She raised her spear and stepped forward without giving the demon a chance to react. The tip of the weapon was covered with fierce mana and went straight through his heart.

Such an attack could not kill the demon, but Shen Li didn’t want to kill him, as long as he couldn’t move, it would be enough.

However, she hadn’t even pulled out the tip of the gun when suddenly she heard someone shouting in the air: “Lord, be careful!”

A fierce palm made of wind roared behind her, Shen Li managed to dodge it, avoiding the blow. Pulling out her spear and grabbing it horizontally she swept and cut straight through the neck of the man behind her.

Blood spurted out, and in just a moment, Shen Li was already covered in blood.

Suddenly there was a sound of fighting in the air. Shen Li raised her head and saw that three creatures were fighting the three generals in the air.

When did these creatures learn the technique of flying clouds…? They are constantly getting stronger… Shen Li was surprised at first but regained her concentration when suddenly felt a strange movement behind her back.

“I see that Azure King has been living well.”

Shen Li’s palm tightened in her silver spear, her head had not even turned back to look at the person speaking when something hit her spear.

The tip of the spear bent like cotton, all her strength was taken off, She quickly pulled away and retreated.

Ten meters away, she turned her head to look at the person again. He wore a green uniform, his face unchanged:

“Fu Sheng?” Shen Li said coldly.

“Oh, it’s my blessing that Azure King can remember me.”

In spite of his polite words, Shen Li Knew that this person had evil intentions, and knew that there must have been some kind of conspiracy that brought her here today.

Her brows sank, her ears heard the three people and three creatures still fighting in the air.

Under the circumstances, it was really unnecessary for Shen Li to confront him now and add casualties. However, she didn’t have the heart to retreat and listened to what Fu Sheng said:

“I’ll not lie to you, the truth is, I came to see Azure King this time because I need something you possess.”

Shen Li sneered, but before she could speak, he smiled again and said, “Naturally, I know that Azure king would not be willing to give this to me freely. So…”

The air surrounding them suddenly became murderous, and his eyes were cold: “I’ll trouble the King to die today”

“Fu Sheng You’re daydreaming.”

Such provocation made Shen Li’s eyes even more chilly, and neither of the two acted first.

The surrounding airflow gradually became bitter, and the vegetation between the two had been torn apart silently and turned to ashes.

The airflow expanded and spread to the side. The bushes shook, the leaves trembled in the wind, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, until they couldn’t hold on anymore and flew away, the tree trunk cracked with a sound and burst fiercely.

“Ah!” The child who was hiding behind the tree cried out, the force when the tree was exploded pushed him two feet away.

I Can’t go on like this!

The child’s cry was like a signal, touching Shen Li’s nerves. She stomped forward with her toes, using her whole body, and the whole person flew out like an arrow.

Fu Sheng couldn’t avoid or hide. When Shen Li attacked him, he suddenly noticed a powerful aura pressing him down on the ground. Shen Li’s spear tip was slightly tilted but coming directly at Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng suddenly turned to his side and turned his hand into a claw aiming at Shen Li’s heart.

But Shen Li had already predicted his moves, the silver spear was retracted, and its tail hit Fu Sheng’s hand.

At first, it didn’t look like a strong attack, but it touched Fu Sheng’s palm so his skin was directly burned. Leaving a scorched palm.

Unexpectedly, at some point, Shen Li had cast a fire spell on the red spear, making the entire silver spear extremely hot.

The child who was rescued by Shen Li looked at Shen Li with bright eyes, full of admiration and worship.

Shen Li waved her hand, the child cleverly knew what she meant, and immediately ran away.

She turned over and leaped, holding her spear body and falling ten steps away from Fu Sheng, her movements were like a dance.

She said, “This is a gift to you.”

She was burned by fire in the heavens. She still remembers clearly. This is retribution.

Fu Sheng looked at his scorched hands, raised his head, and laughed sharply: “Interesting, you are worthy of being my opponent!”

As soon as the voice fell, he didn’t stop at all, his figure moved, and his movements were ten times faster than before. He rushed forward, no swords or weapons only turning his fingers into claws, and fought with Shen Li empty-handed.

The two of them staggered, sometimes turning into the wind and fighting into the sky, sometimes turning into light and disappearing in a flash.

In an instant, Shen Li had exchanged no less than a hundred moves with him.

The more she fought with him, the stranger she felt. This person’s moves were somewhat similar to her own, but when you pay more attention, the subtleties were somewhat different.

The same tactics of open and close hand [1] were supposed to be extremely tough, but he used them to be a bit insidious and unpredictable.

“Azure King isn’t joking” After one move, the two stood on both sides in the air, and he smiled strangely, ” But I think your subordinates don’t have the same ability .”

As soon as Shen Li heard these words, she looked down and suddenly found that not far below, the three generals were fighting with the three creatures.

At this time, the creature whose neck was cut by Shen Li also joined in. Four to three made the already struggling generals even more powerless to fight. At this time, two of them were obviously injured, their attacks were weak, and the situation was critical

Shen Li was anxious, she leaned down and rushed towards that side, but how could Fu Sheng let her go? He followed behind.

Shen Li was furious: “Go away!”

“Forgive me, I can’t .”

Fu Sheng stretched his hand forward, his nails soaring, his five fingers gathered together, and his nails stood in front of Shen Li like a knife.

“I’m your opponent !.”

As he spoke, one of the creatures hit General Dao Mu’s abdomen with a punch. ,

Shen Li Saw the general spit out a mouthful of blood. The red light in the depths of her eyes surged, and her whole body was trembling.

“I said, get out!” Shen Li said while waving her silver spear but Fu Sheng raised his hand to block it. His nails were harder than Shen Li had imagined, and Shen Li’s spear was even stronger than Fu Sheng expected.

Everyone was shaken a few meters away by their strength, but Shen Li did not hesitate, she continued rushing away to the generals.

Fu Sheng looked at his nails, the light in his eyes moved, and he caught up again.

With a low shout, Shen Li cut off one of the creature’s head with the spear, broke a gap between the other creatures and the generals, and protected the three from falling to the ground.

The red tasseled spear plunged into the ground, and the red flames formed a barrier to separate herself from the three.

The Azure King ordered

“You three withdraw. I’ll fight with them.”

[1]I guess the technic Shen li is refering, is maybe something like this ? ( changing position of the hands)

Chapter 52.2

The Azure King General ordered “You three withdraw. I’ll fight with them.”

Before the three generals could speak, suddenly a gap was torn out of the flame barrier, and five sharp nails penetrated the barrier.

The flame barrier broke, Shen Li gritted her teeth, and the red light in her eyes was even worse. The heatwave rolled everywhere. She forced the chasing Fu Sheng back a few steps, and shouted: “Retreat!”

Without worrying about the generals, she could find a way to escape.

The three generals also understood the situation at this time, that the most difficult thing to deal with was not the creatures, but the youth in the green robe.

They were already injured, and if they drag on now, they would only hurt Shen Li. The three of them glanced at each other, and as soon as they thought about running, they were interrupted by a creature’s roar, and two other creatures ran out of the bushes and ran into the three generals.

Dao Mu was already injured, and the other two generals stepped in front of him to protect him, blocking the attack in front.

But no one noticed that the creature whose hands were pierced by Shen Li’s was actually alive.

At this time, the creature climbed to Dao Mu’s footsteps and bit his calf off in one bit.

Dao Mu gritted his teeth to resist the severe pain, raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed down, cutting the creature’s head straight, thinking that he could die today, but he wouldn’t die alone.

The creatures who had fought in the air before fell again and surrounded the generals. The two generals in front couldn’t protect themselves, much less help Dao Mu.

They only heard Dao Mu’s unbearable scream, as he was dragged by those creatures.

The creatures tore his limbs, with blood spattering, they ate and swallow his flesh.

Shen Li was trying to draw Fu Sheng away, and suddenly heard the screams behind her.

She caught a glimpse of such a scene in the surrounding light. Her head went blank, and she didn’t even feel it when Fu Sheng’s five fingers swiped on her back.

It turns out… they really eat people…

It turned out that the general of her Demon Realm… was killed in such a way…

Fu Sheng smiled crazily: “Isn’t this scene beautiful? Thanks to this battle my pets were able to have a good meal! “

The general that valued her so much, living beings who guarded this land with her…

“Bastard…” Shen Li’s fingertips were white while holding the silver spear.

“Bastard.” She lowered her head, gritted her teeth and was about to take a step towards the generals, when Fu Sheng stretched out his hand to stop her again:

“You are not allowed to save people until the battle is over…”

He didn’t have the time to finish when Shen Li raised her head suddenly.

Fu Sheng was slightly startled, he saw a trace of scarlet coming out of Shen Li’s eyes, her black and white eyes, accumulating bright red liquid that looked like blood, sticking from the corners of her eyes, falling down across her cheeks a drop finally fell and sank into the ground.

In an instant, Shen Li’s airflow rioted around him, like a hurricane swirling across the world.

The golden hairband on Shen Li’s head broke and her black hair was scattered, violently whipping the air surrounding her, and its roots slowly turned red, like magma.

Shen Li only felt an extremely hot breath surging in her gut, slowly burning her blood and the reason in her mind.

The red silver spear rose out of the white mist, and as the airflow stirred around Shen Li, the hot breath stopped abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Li disappeared and went straight to the place where the creatures gathered.

She did not bother using a weapon, she slapped one of the creature’s heads with her bare palm.

The head of the creature instantly ignited in flames. The creatures let out screams that could pierce eardrums, but Shen Li seemed to hear nothing.

Turning around, she hit her palm above the chest of another creature, flames burned in his chest.

However, she didn’t stop there. She slapped all the creatures in the scene, and they all burned up without exception.

Finally, after all the demons were burned to ashes, Shen Li waved her palm and shot at one of the generals, but the palm with the scorching temperature stopped three inches from the general’s heart, without touching it.

Shen Li bowed slightly and shook her head in confusion as if trying to get her sanity back. Finally, she turned her head and her scarlet eyes glared at Fu Sheng. In an instant, her figure fell in front of Fu Sheng: “You damn thing!”

She spoke every word with difficulty, and as soon as her voice fell, she waved her claws at Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng stretched out his hand to block, only to feel that his nails that were as hard as iron, instantly softened. Shen Li’s hand slapped his cheek unimpeded. This slap was extremely loud, and Fu Sheng retreated several feet away and immediately murmured an ice spell.

Condensing ice, clutching his cheek that was hit by Shen Li, ice and fire collided with each other on his cheek. The pain did not make him lose his mind, but it made Fu Sheng’s eyes even colder.

“As expected of… The Phoenix.”

His tone was indistinct, and before he could adjust to the injury on his face, Shen Li attacked again. The silver spear radiating dazzling light struck with the momentum of the thunderbolt, unstoppable.

Fu Sheng was stunned. He was being suppressed and forced to retreat all the way. Finally, he found a gap, so he set up the cloud, turned, and fled.

Shen Li chased him away.

A general yelled on the ground: “KING! Don’t chase him! He is full of tricks!”

Shen Li couldn’t even hear him, chasing Fu Sheng’s figure, she disappeared into the air after him”

As she ran all the way to the human world, Shen Li suddenly felt that the surrounding water vapor was heavier. She was distracted, and Fu Sheng escaped to the sea.

Taking advantage of Shen Li’s distraction, Fu Sheng sent a signal to the sky. In no time, several people in black suddenly appeared beside him.

When Shen Li turned her head and saw them, the red spear swept out the air, and the flames rushed towards the black-clothed men.

Two people who didn’t have time to react were burned to ashes on the spot.

The other ones quickly avoided and separated. They chanted a spell very cooperatively.

The moisture in the air instantly became icy, turning into very small ice scum, and pressed against Shen Li’s body, as if to surround her.

An inexplicable arc suddenly cracked at the corner of Shen Li’s mouth. The heat in her abdomen became even more intense. The heat circulated in her body, causing clusters of flames to appear on her skin.

The heatwave burned away all the water vapor.

The people in black were shocked, and looked at Fu Sheng with a slight fluster: “My lord, the water technique has no effect on her!”

The water technique…

These three slightly familiar words sting Shen Li’s eardrums and a white figure slowly emerged in her increasingly chaotic mind, and she seemed to hear him sigh: “You made yourself so embarrassed again.”

How can these people know the water stop technique… that is obviously a god’s spell.

Shen Li was slightly stunned. Fu Sheng saw her distraction and suddenly shouted: “Summon all the creatures!”

Receiving the order, the man in black took out a strange musical instrument in his hand.

He blew it two or three times and there was a roar in the distance in harmony with him.

With a wave of his hand, Fu Sheng turned all the waves into ice arrows, piercing sharply towards Shen Li.

The murderous intent was approaching, and Shen Li suddenly came back to her senses.

She did not dodge, and the flames all over her swelled up, burning out all the ice in an instant.

Before Fu Sheng had time to see her movements, he felt his jaw warm. Shen Li had already grabbed his lapels:

“Say, how did you learn the Stop water technic?”

Fu Sheng smiled: “The King seems to be extremely concerned about that god’s affairs.”

Shen Li stared at him coldly as she put her hands in his heart.

With one thought she could burn him to ashes.

A thunderbolt fell from the sky between the sparks and flints, forcing Shen Li to throw Fu Sheng away, she retreated a few feet away and then turning her head to face the new opponent.

There stood a young man with black clothes and black hair. His face couldn’t be more familiar to Shen Li.

“Mo… Fang…”
