Chapter 1302 - 1301: Stepping Forward Boldly
Lin Fei couldn't have imagined that when the Little Holy Bird faced the attacks of the masked man and Liu Jingchen, it would behave so fearlessly, ready to fight to the death to protect its mother bird.
This touched something deep within Lin Fei; the Little Holy Bird's courage in protecting its mother at the cost of its life was as grand as the bond between a human mother and daughter.
At that moment, the sharp swords of the masked man and Liu Jingchen rushed forward, about to turn the Little Holy Bird, standing in front of the Nine-tailed Holy Bird, into a shower of blood.
Swish.
In a split second, a figure, fast as lightning, suddenly darted forward, appearing about one or two meters in front of the Little Holy Bird. The sword light burst forth, the swiftness and power of his attack described as if ghosts wail and gods cry would not be exaggerated!
Clang, clang, the sound of blades clashing rang out, and a cascade of sparks flew through the air.
In the next moment, the masked man and Liu Jingchen were each forced back over ten meters before they could stabilize themselves, both breathing a bit heavily.
They looked up and saw a figure standing with his sword, his stance straight and aura cold and formidable, right in front of the Little Holy Bird.
This person was precisely Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, in the end, couldn't stand the ruthless intent of the masked man and Liu Jingchen to slaughter the Little Holy Bird and intervened at the last moment, driving them back.
The masked man and Liu Jingchen, upon seeing Lin Fei, had eyes glinting with hatred.
The masked man hated Lin Fei because his fellow disciple Yuan Zheng had died at Lin Fei's hands, and just now, his attempt to kill the Little Holy Bird with a Little Golden Saber was thwarted by Lin Fei.
Therefore, with Lin Fei blocking their way again, the masked man wished to kill Lin Fei on the spot.
Liu Jingchen, too, bore deep hatred for Lin Fei, for the two elders and ten Saint Guards he brought from the Holy Dragon Realm had all perished because of Lin Fei. Now, Lin Fei was obstructing him from obtaining the Celestial Saint Gem in the Nine-tailed Holy Bird's belly.
So, he was also eager to kill Lin Fei.
The Little Holy Bird standing in front of the Nine-tailed Holy Bird seemed unable to believe that Lin Fei had saved it and its mother bird.
Next, the Little Holy Bird flapped its wings against its chest, as if applauding, its wings making a clapping sound, opening its beak to emit pleasant calls, seemingly thanking Lin Fei or perhaps applauding him for driving back the masked man and Liu Jingchen.
The masked man, with a sinister gaze, looked at Lin Fei and said, "I didn't expect you came for the Celestial Saint Gem too. It seems today we must fight to the death for it."
Lin Fei felt a wave of puzzlement. He had heard the masked man mention the Celestial Saint Gem several times. What exactly was this Celestial Saint Gem?
He had come to Dragon Tiger Mountain initially to assist Ten Thousand Swords City in repelling the Gongsun family's experts who sought to occupy Dragon Tiger Mountain.
But the unfolding events were beyond his expectations; the mysterious masked man and Liu Jingchen, the scion of the Celestial Saint, successively appeared here. Lin Fei realized they must have another important objective for coming.
And the repeatedly mentioned Celestial Saint Gem by the masked man seemed to be their purpose at Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"I don't know what this Celestial Saint Gem is, but I definitely won't let you harm these mother and child Holy Birds," Lin Fei said, his gaze unwavering, looking at the masked man.
The masked man sneered, saying, "Lin Fei, stop pretending to be an animal protector. Everyone knows the Celestial Saint Gem is in the belly of the Nine-tailed Holy Bird. You want to have it all for yourself; don't think we can't see through it."
Lin Fei frowned slightly, thinking: Turns out the Celestial Saint Gem they are after is indeed inside the Nine-tailed Holy Bird?
No wonder the masked man and Liu Jingchen were desperate to attack the Nine-tailed Holy Bird.
"Caw, caw!~~~" At that moment, the Little Holy Bird widened its fierce eyes, spread its wings, adopting a fighting posture, screeching, looking at Lin Fei with an expression full of vigilance.
Lin Fei was a bit surprised, could this Little Holy Bird understand human language?
Otherwise, why would the Little Holy Bird become so fierce and alert after hearing the masked man's words?
"I'm sorry. I'm not here to take the Celestial Saint Gem you mentioned, nor to monopolize it. I just can't stand the way you two are dealing with a weak bird," Lin Fei said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Little Holy Bird quietly retracted its outstretched wings, its eyes looking innocently at Lin Fei, as if moved by Lin Fei's noble character.
The masked man and Liu Jingchen exchanged glances. Clearly, they didn't believe Lin Fei's goodwill, suspecting he was after the Celestial Saint Gem.
"Let's team up to kill him, and then split the Celestial Saint Gem as we agreed," the masked man looked at Liu Jingchen and said harshly.
Liu Jingchen nodded, "Alright, let's kill him first!"
Then, the Holy Dragon Eight Trigrams Mirror in Liu Jingchen's hand flew into the air, and as light spread out, a huge Eight Trigrams Mirror appeared, about ten meters wide.
As Liu Jingchen activated his Cultivation Technique, the enormous Eight Trigrams Mirror in the air began to drift over Lin Fei's head.
Before the giant Eight Trigrams Mirror in the air could drift over, Lin Fei's figure flashed, already attacking Liu Jingchen.
No matter how powerful the Holy Dragon Eight Trigrams Mirror was, as long as Lin Fei could injure Liu Jingchen, the Eight Trigrams Mirror would be rendered ineffective.
Liu Jingchen was equally astonished to see Lin Fei attacking him.
He immediately directed the Eight Trigrams Mirror in the air to fly over to rescue him.
Seeing Lin Fei attacking Liu Jingchen, the masked man couldn't let Liu Jingchen suffer; they were on the same boat now, and he knew only by joining forces could they have a chance of defeating Lin Fei.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The masked man's Storage Ring shot out a string of golden lights, dozens of Little Golden Sabers breaking through the air, fast as lightning, shooting toward Lin Fei.
Facing the incoming Little Golden Sabers from the masked man, Lin Fei didn't even blink, continuing his forward charge, the Anger Dragon Sword in his hand swiftly waving, forming a layer of sword barrier.
The dozens of Little Golden Sabers shooting forward were all blocked outside the sword barrier, clanging and sparking, every Little Golden Saber being knocked away.
However, with the masked man's Little Golden Sabers blocking Lin Fei, the giant Eight Trigrams Sword reached above Lin Fei's head, and Liu Jingchen fully activated his Cultivation Technique, the Eight Trigrams Mirror casting a massive, bright white glow.
Lin Fei instantly found himself trapped within a nearly impenetrable, glaring white light, his hands barely visible.
He finally understood why the Nine-tailed Holy Bird ended up injured and bleeding profusely, breathing its last; the Eight Trigrams Mirror's radiant light was nearly blinding.
Surviving unharmed in such intense brightness seemed nearly impossible.
Swish, swish, swish.
The masked man outside saw Lin Fei covered by the terrifying light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror and thought it an unmissable opportunity, immediately commanding his Cultivation Technique to control all Little Golden Sabers to fly toward Lin Fei amidst the light.
