Legend of the Great Sage

lk King committed self-destruction.
Instead, it would save quite a lot of trouble.

“I will never die!”

Streaks of white light shot out from the Featherfolk King’s eyes, ears, mouth and nose, before turning into thousands of ribbons.
However, they ignored Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying, wrapping around Li Fengyuan instead.

In that instant, all of them became blood-red.

For the sake of maintaining his life, he went as far as to drain the phoenix blood without any regard.
His spiritual qi immediately stopped leaking away and the spread of the wrinkles slowed.
His old face became filled with an unnaturally healthy glow.

Li Fengyuan’s cultivation was insufficient, so he was still asleep, but his face immediately paled.
His aura rapidly declined and his eyebrows were firmly locked together, like he was in a nightmare.

“You’re asking to die!”

Li Qingshan fell into a rage.
He unleashed the Frenzy of the Tiger Demon, cutting through all the white ribbons with his fingers, before punching in the Featherfolk King’s face.
He then opened his huge mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth.
His head had already become a tiger’s biting down on the Featherfolk King’s wings and ripping away forcefully.

With a rip, the wings were mostly torn apart, sending blood everywhere.

Gu Yanying ripped through the white light too, plucking the azure feather from him completely.
However, before she could even celebrate, the azure feather shook violently, erupting with a glow that matched the sky.
It faded in and out, as if it was about to drift away from this world.

“Hahahaha, if I can’t obtain it, then don’t even think about obtaining it either!”

The Featherfolk King condensed a head from light and laughed madly, but it was filled with brutality.
At the end of the day, he was just unable to refine the azure feather and inherit the power and legacy within, which was why they managed to steal it from him like this.
However, he had still been in possession of it for such a long time.
Using his last bit of connection, he tossed the feather beyond the nine provinces.

Gu Yanying’s face changed.
Were all of her plans, all of the risks she had taken, just going to fall to shambles like this?

Under Bai Jie’s lead, the featherfolk cultivators assembled a formation and surrounded them.

“Let go now!” Li Qingshan said.

“No!” Gu Yanying was determined.
She no longer needed the hot winds to maintain her consciousness, so her destroyed appearance gradually recovered.
Her expression softened, “Qingshan, you can go.
Our debts have been settled.
I still want to make one last gamble!”

Li Qingshan made up his mind and gripped Gu Yanying’s hand firmly.
He unleashed the power of tremors as hard as he could in an attempt to overwhelm the azure feather, but he felt the same vastness and spaciousness as Gu Yanying was experiencing.
This was not something he would suppress or overwhelm.

With a thrum, the azure feather emitted a rumble that shook up the space there, almost beyond the limits of hearing.
It soon split open the space there and vanished with Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying.

“First father!” Li Fengyuan woke up from his sleep and just happened to see this, which left him devastated.

“Your majesty!” Bai Jie said in concern, only to see the spiritual qi begin to disperse from the Featherfolk King again.

“They’re just asking to die!” The Featherfolk King said, but he felt no joy at all.
He had not just lost the azure feather in this battle.
He had used up his last bit of life too.
He was in danger of dying at any moment.

At this very moment, the cry of a crane echoed through the sky.

A colossal red-crowned crane shot towards Clouded city like a shadow.
It was one of the Ten Daemon Kings, the Cloud Shadow Crane King.

“You old bastard, you’ve come too late! Too late! What you want is already gone.
It won’t ever return again,” the Featherfolk King said feebly.

The white crane turned into a skinny but vigorous old man with a red crown and large robes, staring at the headless and almost-wingless Featherfolk King in shock.
He struggled to believe there was actually someone in the world who could injure him to such an extend and steal the feather that he dreamed about every single day.

He was one of the few avian great Daemon Kings in the world.
He had begun coveting the azure father a long time ago, but he never found an opportunity.
He never imagined someone would beat him to it.

Sensing the lingering drowsiness in the space there, he immediately came to a certain understanding.
Had they used the power of the forbidden area in the north?

He asked with a frown, “Who did it?”

“Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying.” The Featherfolk King hid nothing, uttering their names as he grinded his teeth.

“So it’s them!” The Cloud Shadow Crane King was surprised.
He had heard about these two people a long time ago.
In particular, Li Qingshan’s feats of dragon slaying in the Ink sea had shocked the entire world, but he also found this rather difficult to accept.
Neither of them were pure avians.
Couldn’t the azure feather just choose a suitable owner?

“Where are they right now?”

“Who knows where they’ve died,” said the Featherfolk King.
Leaving the protection of the world and traversing through space was not an easy feat.
There was basically no chance of surviving.
Even if they survived somehow, they could not return to the nine provinces again.

The Cloud Shadow Crane King was unsurprised.
Since they were bold enough to challenge the Featherfolk King, they had to pay a price.
It was already astounding enough that they had made it so far.

“You’re lying.
My first father will never die.
He’ll definitely come back and punch in your damned head again!” Li Fengyuan threw himself at the Featherfolk King with tears in his eyes.

“Shut up!” The Featherfolk King grabbed Li Fengyan by the throat furiously, until he returned to his original form.

“Phoenix!”

The Cloud Shadow Crane King was surprised again.
He had heard that the phoenix had reappeared in the Green province a long time ago, but he had never seen it for himself.
He could not help as he was overcome by a sense of attachment and reverence, which only confirmed his thoughts.

He said solemnly, “This is the lord of us avians.
Please release him, fellow.”

“The lord of avians? That’s exactly what I’m eating, the lord of avians!”

The Featherfolk King sensed his life flow away.
He had already reached the verge of death, so there was no longer anything holding him back anymore.
HIs head condensed from light suddenly surged and split open in the middle, like a huge, vicious mouth.
He swallowed Li Fengyuan in a single gulp.
