Upon seeing this, Wei Jiangyuan smiled slightly and said, "Is that so?"
Immediately afterwards, Huang Xuan was horrified to discover that his companion, the three-star Dou Zun of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, let out a shrill scream, and then lost control of his body and fell directly downwards.
He clutched his head tightly with both hands, blood trickling from his seven orifices, and his breath instantly weakened to the extreme!
Huang Xuan roared and was about to rush to the rescue when Wei Jiangyuan flashed forward, flying ahead of him. A pink light imprint directly struck the head of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Fighting Venerable.
"Damn it!" Huang Xuan unleashed a powerful attack, but Wei Jiangyuan easily dodged it, only managing a muffled thud in vain.
Then Huang Xuan watched as Wei Jiangyuan pulled a golden demon core the size of an infant's fist from his companion's head; that was the core of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
Wei Jiangyuan weighed the still-warm demon core in his hand, emerald flames dancing at his fingertips, enveloping and isolating it. He looked up at Huang Xuan, whose eyes were bloodshot, his smile bright yet chillingly cold: "Now, Elder Huang Xuan, do you think... we're still at a disadvantage?"
Huang Xuan felt a chill run from his feet straight to his brain. He wasn't afraid of Wei Jiangyuan's strength, but he really didn't understand what force had severely injured his partner. The unknown was the greatest fear!
"The ruins of the Battle Saint are said to contain the greatest treasure: Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques. But I can tell you, I already possess Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques, and I also have Heaven-Rank Soul Techniques. Therefore, I'm taking all of these Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits and your top-quality magic cores!"
"Damn it!" Huang Xuan was both shocked and furious, her face turning ashen. She looked at the young Wei Jiangyuan and felt extremely troubled. She had already sensed from their previous exchange that Wei Jiangyuan's strength was no weaker than hers. The key was that Wei Jiangyuan's abilities were simply too powerful. Heaven-rank fighting skills were fighting skills that only human Dou Sheng level cultivators could comprehend, and heaven-rank soul skills were even rarer than heaven-rank fighting skills. As an elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, she was quite knowledgeable, but in all her years, she had never seen a heaven-rank soul skill.
During that brief moment of confrontation between Huang Xuan and Wei Jiangyuan, he sensed an extremely subtle yet chilling soul fluctuation!
He immediately shouted a warning: "Huang Feng, be careful!"
However, his warning came too late. A soul needle, almost invisible to the naked eye, had already been released. Wei Jiangyuan's Shadow Needle once again pierced the back of the head of another two-star Dou Zun from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan at incredible speed. That person was already entangled in battle with Yao Qingyu. Wei Jiangyuan's timing in releasing the Shadow Needle was perfect; by the time he reacted and tried to sense the attack, the Shadow Needle had already struck!
Huang Feng's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes lost their light instantly, and his protective battle aura dissipated—signs that the magical beast's soul had been severely damaged.
Seeing this, Yao Qingyu unleashed a furious dragon flame, engulfing the powerful Heavenly Demon Phoenix. The raging sandstorm and flames instantly swallowed the defenseless Phoenix Blade whole. Under the combined attack from within and without, this two-star Dou Zun of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was reduced to ashes in the flames. Only a small demonic core remained, falling to the ground, which Yao Qingyu casually pocketed.
What made Huang Xuan even more desperate was that the other Heavenly Demon Phoenixes he brought, who were at the Dou Zong level, were not superior. Although he sensed the aura of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix at the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, no one could get past it.
Wei Jiangyuan had no intention of stopping there. He was gathering the emerald flame in his palm again, and an even more solid vine totem light seal was rapidly forming. Meanwhile, the other female Dou Zun had also come to his aid. The flames swirling around her were likely her strange fire, forming a perfect pincer attack with Wei Jiangyuan. Faced with this situation of one against two, coupled with Wei Jiangyuan's methods, Huang Xuan had no chance of winning.
Faced with two Dou Zun of unfathomable strength, especially one who possessed a terrifying Heaven-rank Soul Skill, Huang Xuan's last shred of hope was completely extinguished. Although two of his subordinates, both Dou Zun, had perished here, he couldn't care less about that now.
He gritted his teeth and made a decisive move, saying to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix members, "Heavenly Demon Phoenix members, retreat! Leave this place first!"
Among the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, a cold and aloof woman looked at Huang Xuan with resentment and said, "Elder, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is right before our eyes. Are we just going to let them take it away?"
Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "Qing'er, none of them are from the Ancient Void Dragon clan, so they can't absorb this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. We'll think of another way later!"
Afterwards, Huang Xuan led the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's large force away. Yao Qingyu came to Wei Jiangyuan's side and asked softly, "Are we just going to let them leave like that?"
Wei Jiangyuan nodded. He naturally hoped to leave all the Heavenly Phoenixes here, but he had already used two Hidden Shadow Needles: "There are quite a few forces eyeing us in the Heavenly Tomb. We still need to keep some trump cards to ensure our safety. Let's hurry up and get the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."
Then Wei Jiangyuan thought of Lei Jingxiao. In the three years since Xiao Yan's death, they had maintained contact and even met every year. So he naturally knew that Lei Jingxiao had fallen for the terrifyingly powerful Ancient Void Dragon Zi Yan that night at the Pill Tower, and that the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was mainly for Zi Yan's sake.
"With this, that kid should worship me and thank me profusely," Wei Jiangyuan chuckled.
"After capturing it, should we hand it over directly to the Ancient Void Dragon?"
Wei Jiangyuan shook his finger as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Of course not. We don't know those people. We only know Ziyan, so of course we should hand them over to Ziyan."
"What if someone from the Ancient Dragon Clan asks us about it?"
Wei Jiangyuan chuckled again: "Of course I didn't see it. There's no Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit here at all. I don't recognize it either. But I did see some people from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix sneaking in. They might have taken you there!"
"You, so shameless..." Yao Qingyu was amused by Wei Jiangyuan's feigned manner and burst out laughing.
Wei Jiangyuan also gave himself a thumbs up: "Yes, what a shining point!"
Shortly after Wei Jiangyuan and his group left after picking the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, members of the Ancient Dragon Clan also arrived. This Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was a super rare treasure capable of changing the fate of both the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, so both sides were naturally extremely eager to obtain it. However, what they were left with was, of course, nothing.
"It's impossible for it not to exist! Search! We must find the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit for Lord Northern Dragon King!!"
