Chapter 1443: Leaving in Anger
"And so what if you remember me?" Zhang Lie teased, pinching her pert nose.
"I'll eat you!" Feng Xian growled.
Zhang Lie laughed and reached out with his other hand to pinch her cheeks, which still had sbaby fat on them. Feng Xian grew more and more furious.
"Just you wait!" Feng Xian cried out, then... transformed into a void phoenix.
The phoenix's cries resounded across the heavens. Feng Xian unfurled her wings and vanished from Zhang Lie's grip.
"Hm?" Zhang Lie was shocked that she could have escaped despite the forcefield enacted by his dragonturtle tablets. A dudou was left in his palms, shining with mysterious runes that even Zhang Lie couldn't understand. [1]
What was this?nHad Feng Xian escaped because of this dudou?
"I'm so angry. I, Feng Xian, have never suffered such disgraceful humiliation! How dare you pinch my nose and my face! I'm not done with you!" the phoenix cried out shrilly.
The girl was stubborn and would hold a grudge for a long time. She firmly remembered the humiliation she suffered at Zhang Lie's hands, but seemed to have forgotten about the debt she now owed Zhang Lie on account of their bet.
Zhang Lie waved the dudou in his hands. "You dropped something!"
The void phoenix stopped short and transformed back into Feng Xian's appearance.nShe was even more infuriated than before.n"Return that to me!"
Zhang Lie curled a finger at her. "Cand get it."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeng Xian scowled as she transformed into lightning and shot into the distance. "Just you wait. I'll reclaim it myself!"
Black genetic energy burst forth from Zhang Lie, as though there were hundreds, thousands of dragons surging throughout his body.
"[Rune: Control]!"
The image of a dragonturtle appeared before him as Zhang Lie raised his hand. Ripples spread out from the two tablets, attempting to seal the void phoenix's will and power—but to no avail.
The void phoenix seemed not to exist in reality.
Zhang Lie waved the dudou in the air again. "If you don't want it, I'll auction it off. I think the undergarments of the genius Feng Xian of Starbright Academy would fetch a pretty sum!"
"Just you wait. I've never suffered such grave humiliation. I'll transform you into a grub and then eat you up!" Feng Xian ran off in fury.
"Admit that you've lost your bet. Otherwise, I'll head to the Starbright Academy in the future to find you!" Zhang Lie shouted.
The dudou seemed like a treasure, but it was designed for a female. Zhang Lie couldn't use it.
Could he give it away? That would be even worse; it would lead to a misunderstanding at best.
Zhang Lie tried to store it in his storage-type soulshard, but found to his surprise that he wasn't able to do so. After careful inspection, he realized to his surprise that the dudou was made of a similar material as his soulshards and could be kept in his soulspace.
The fight between the two cultivators naturally attracted sdegree of attention, and many had seen Feng Xian flee.
"Did you all see that? Wasn't that void phoenix Feng Xian from Starbright Academy? Was she slain?"
"Impossible! You all know how strong Feng Xian is. She's a genius of Starbright Academy—we saw her take down an ancient wyrm by herself, unarmed! Who could challenge her?"
A group of young cultivators were gathered by a mountain brimming with spiritual smoke and looking at where the void phoenix had vanished.
"But I'm sure I saw her! That sounded just like her, too!" one of the cultivators declared.
"How can that be? She's been invincible ever since she mastered Faerie Glow. All arts are ineffective against her, and she's struck down every opponent in her way!"
"Right? I even heard that she tried to take down the young prince of the spirits' clan, and she was a troublesfoe even for them!"
The cultivators argued with each other, none of them quite able to believe that Feng Xian had been forced to flee. She was simply too strong!
They were all fearful of the girl who seemed in every aspect a stunning beauty. Her genteel and elegant air were renowned, but the moment she struck, she beclike a dragon.
"No, you're wrong. I saw Feng Xian fight, becoverwhelmed, and flee!"
"Who could have challenged her to such an extent?"
"I didn't dare draw near. I was only observing from afar." The cultivator raised his head and saw a figure whizzing through the air. He immediately pointed at it. "That's him!"
Zhang Lie was chasing after Feng Xian. He was certain that she couldn't keep up this sort of ethereal transformation for long.
"Let's strike. He must be exhausted after fighting with Feng Xian. We'll take down a dangerous opponent while he's weakened."
One cultivator sent an umbrella into the air, whirling as it spun up into the clouds and turning day into night. As it continued to revolve, beams of dark light
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhang Lie raised a hand. Guicang slashed at the air, cutting the umbrella in two with a snick.
"What?!" the cultivator cried out. His umbrella was a treasure, but it had been destroyed in an instant! Everyone blanched.
Sof their number had run away the moment the first cultivator launched an attack. If even Feng Xian was fleeing, what made them think they could handle him?
As they turned around, golden light blossomed in the air. A sword slash struck at the void and killed the cultivator who had launched the umbrella instantly.
The gigantic silver sword blocked the path of the remaining cultivators.
"Don't leave, now. Let's have a pleasant conversation." Zhang Lie walked over.
The cultivators paled, cursing the idiot who had tried to attack Zhang Lie and immediately been killed thereafter. Zhang Lie had been focused on chasing after Feng Xian, but now—!
A cultivator who could force Feng Xian to flee, no matter how drained he was from the fight, wasn't someone that weak cultivators like them could handle. Feng Xian was a genius of Starbright Academy! How had someone so foolish made it into the tournament proper?
Striking now would be akin to committing suicide, but not only had he committed suicide, he had dragged the rest of them down with him.
The cultivator, bisected, scattered in a pile of mental essence.
Fog suddenly rose up, accompanied by lightning. Zhang Lie was submerged in it. Another cultivator had struck.
"He's nothing more than a young cultivator from smajor force! We don't have to worry about him. We'll strike simultaneously and take him down!"
Even now, there were a few fools who thought that they would be able to take Zhang Lie down.
1. A dudou is an ancient Chinese undergarment that wraps around the belly. ☜
