Celestial being

at the same time.

In the northern part of Yuxu Swamp, Huazhi was caught in a bitter battle.

In mid-air, a big red bird with a wingspan of about ten feet fluttered in the air, shaking off countless flame-like long red feathers. The feathers exploded in the air, turning into fist-sized fireballs, heading towards the ground below. Flower branches fell.

Knowing that he had nowhere to hide, Huazhi suddenly planted his hands on the ground. Dozens of vines around him instantly sprang out of the soil, intertwined and woven into a purple-black vine cage around and above him.

The next moment, the fireballs collided with the rattan cage and exploded one after another. The scattered flames fell on the rattan, instantly turning it into a rolling fireball.

However, because Huazhi was protected by the "True Water Ring", an auxiliary magic weapon given by Yuan Ming, the flames did not really ignite the vines. Even so, Huazhi did not dare to let the flames crawl back to his body along the vines. After quickly throwing the rattan cage to the side, he retracted his hands and cut off the connection with the rattan.

After breaking away from the vine cage of the flower branches, it lost the fire-proofing effect of the "True Water Ring" and exploded under the burning flames. The flame-stained vines shattered on the ground, followed by a sheet of white smoke, which was actually evaporated by the high temperature of the flames. Foggy swamp vapor.

As the water vapor steamed, the flower branch heard another sharp phoenix call. Looking up, he saw the big red bird circling half a circle in the sky, then suddenly leaned down and crashed straight into him.

Huazhi immediately dodged backwards, and at the same time waved his hands in front of him, a flash of green light suddenly flashed, and dozens of wooden flying swords were condensed and shot towards the big red bird.

However, the big red bird did not dodge, and hit the flying sword.

The flying sword pierced the body of the big red bird, but it was like piercing an illusory object. It passed through the body without stopping at all, taking away only the sparks and burning the flying sword into ashes.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Huazhi immediately wanted to escape from the ground, but as soon as he made a move, he saw a talisman shot out from a distance and landed on the ground not far away.

In an instant, the originally soft and moist ground within a few feet of the flower branch became as hard as rock, making it impossible for him to penetrate.

Huazhi had no choice but to cross his arms at the last moment and turn into a wooden shield in front of him, trying to block the collision of the big red bird.

However, the moment the big red bird was about to hit the flower branch, it completely collapsed from beginning to end and turned into several red flame chains, tying the flower branch tightly.

Huazhi immediately struggled, but the more he struggled, the tighter the chains became. However, for some reason, although the chains were transformed by flames, there was no sign of spreading towards him.

"I didn't expect that you, a monster, have some tricks up your sleeve. If I hadn't happened to have a soil-fixing talisman on my body, you might have escaped."

Not far away, a young man wearing a red-striped dragon robe and a gold and jade belt around his waist walked out of the woods.

The man's appearance is quite handsome, with a high nose, fair complexion, and eyes as bright as leaping flames. His hair color is particularly special, it is black with red, and the flowing hair makes him look very handsome. Every man is a little more charming.

"You are lucky today. I am missing a spiritual pet. From now on, you will follow me." The man smiled.

"I already have a master!" Hua Zhi shouted in her heart, her body twisting and turning.

However, the man could not see Huazhi's voice and said to himself: "Haha, looking at you like this, you must be extremely happy. After all, being able to follow me, Di Chen, is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes."

At this moment, a white jade shuttle suddenly flew from the horizon and landed not far away.

Yuan Ming stepped off the shuttle and frowned when he saw the flower branches tied up with flame chains. However, he breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the flower branches seemed to be fine.

"This fellow Taoist, this is the spiritual beast that I raise here. I don't know why I have angered you, so please be kind and let him go." Yuan Ming cupped his hands towards Di Chen and said politely.

"Your spirit beast? Do you have proof?" Di Chen looked at Yuan Ming and frowned slightly.

"Have you ever noticed the jade ring on his body, fellow Taoist? This is the fire-proof weapon I left for him." Yuan Ming said.

Hearing this, Di Chen pinched the magic weapon, and the flame chain binding the flower branches squirmed like a long snake, and soon he took off the true water ring on the flower branches.

"Tsk, tsk, you can give the spirit beast a high-grade magic weapon for self-defense. It seems that you really care about this spirit beast. However, I also have a good affinity with him. Why don't you give me a price? How many spirit stones are you willing to give him? Transfer it to me?" Di Chen looked at the real water ring and asked.

Yuan Ming shook his head: "I'm sorry, for me, Huazhi is both a spiritual beast and a partner, and is definitely not someone whose price can be judged based on spiritual stones."

"Haha, don't worry. If you think about it carefully, will you really not sell it?" Di Chen narrowed his eyes, and his whole body was surging with spiritual energy.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming sighed, raised his right hand, and a green flying sword appeared out of thin air, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Di Chen.

Di Chen's eyes flashed, he kneaded with one hand, opened his mouth suddenly and spat out, and a small red bird flew out of his mouth. With a flap of its wings, it swelled to about ten feet long.

Yuan Ming no longer hesitated. He silently made a sword gesture with one hand and controlled the green flying sword to stab Di Chen. At the same time, he also pinched the sword formula with his other hand and pointed towards Di Chen's feet.

In an instant, four or five long green wood dragons emerged from the ground and rushed towards Di Chen.

However, Di Chen was not afraid at all. With a change of technique in his hand, the big red bird in the sky suddenly exploded and turned into dozens of flaming swords, roaring down from the sky and nailing the wooden dragon to the ground.

At the same time, Di Chen also had a long red sword in his other hand. Under his control, he fought against the flying sword.

Yuan Ming's face suddenly darkened when he saw that his attack was easily blocked by him. Di Chen showed a proud look on his face when he saw him like this. He was about to say something taunting, but suddenly he was shocked.

An unreasonable chill crept up Di Chen's back. Without thinking, he turned his right hand and slapped a talisman on his body.

The next moment, a red light suddenly lit up on his body, and hot waves of fire rippled out, knocking away the black needles that came from behind.

If his reaction had been slower, he would have been pierced by the black needle.

Di Chen looked at Yuan Ming with lingering fear and said, "What a good idea."

Yuan Ming didn't answer at all. He raised his hand to release the diamond and wanted to use the spell at the same time.

But at this moment, Di Chen's expression suddenly changed, he immediately recalled the red sword, and untied the chains that bound the flower branches.

"You are lucky today, we will fight another day." Di Chen said harshly, then took out the flying magic weapon and fled towards the east.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming suspected fraud, so he did not pursue him, nor did he relax his vigilance.

But after a long time, he didn't see Di Chen come back or launch a sneak attack in secret.

He was confused and was about to ask Huazhi about the situation, but suddenly, another red light fell from the sky and landed in front of Yuan Ming.

In the red light, a capable woman wearing a gold-rimmed fire pattern dress and a ponytail came out.

Her complexion is as white and flawless as jade, her slender willow eyebrows cover her eyes as deep as stars, and her red lips are as bright as a blooming red lotus.

Her hair color is similar to Di Chen's, also black with red, but it doesn't look coquettish, but adds to her dashing and heroic appearance.

She glanced around and found the traces left by the fight between Di Chen and Yuan Ming. She frowned slightly and raised her hand towards Yuan Ming.

"I dare to ask this fellow Taoist, did you just fight with a man with a hair color similar to mine?"

"Yes, in the middle of the fight, he suddenly ran towards the east." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Sure enough, brother-in-law has caused trouble for fellow Taoist brother. If you have any grievances, you can go to the Five Elements Inn in Xiaohu City and leave a message, saying that you are looking for Diyue of the Fire Bird Sect. When I catch brother-in-law, I will definitely take him with me. Come and apologize." Before Di Yue finished speaking, he had already boarded the flying magic weapon. When the word "guilt" fell, he had already chased Di Chen dozens of feet away in the direction of his escape.

Yuan Ming looked at the rapidly disappearing red light and cursed in his heart.

I got into a fight with someone out of nowhere. Although I didn't really get angry, it was endless and really made me feel a little depressed. And this sister was even more angry, even talking as if she was rushing to the scene.

It's just that the Fire Bird Sect is located in the eastern part of Dajin. Why is it now near Xiaohu City?

As thoughts swirled in Yuan Ming's mind, he turned to Huazhi and said, "I think your injuries are almost done. You'd better stay with me for now, lest you meet another monk and take you away as a monster."

Huazhi wanted to retort that she was not that weak, but she was almost caught just now. She couldn't say anything in defense, so she could only nod her head depressedly.

At this moment, King Kong jumped down from the tree not far away, patted his chest towards the flower branches, and made an unabashed mocking sound:

"The bean sprouts were almost burned as firewood this time."

"Monkey, come out and fight with me if you have the guts!" Hua Zhi was furious and immediately bared his teeth and claws.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first." Yuan Ming said, without waiting for the two to speak, he patted the storage bag on his waist and put away the flower branches and the diamond.

He then shook his head, took up the magic weapon, and flew towards Xiaohu City.

…

A few months later.

Outside Xiaohu City, a continuous drizzle soaked the earth, and in the dark clouds, thunder was like a wave, lingering between the sky and the earth.

The weather is as gloomy as ever, but in today's sky, apart from dark clouds, there are streamers of magical artifacts passing from the sky from time to time, falling in front of the city gate, like meteors falling to the ground, and transforming into monks wearing different clothes one after another.

Under the blue shield, today's Little Lake City also looks particularly lively.

There were many more monks on the street than before. As the crowds surged, there were many monks wearing light blue robes with a square tall building painted on their backs to guide the crowds and maintain order in the city.

They are all the city lord's personal guards. On weekdays, they are only responsible for guarding the city lord's palace. It is difficult to see the residents in the city. Only on important days like today, they will appear on the streets, filling the vacancies of the city guards and showing off to the monks who come and go. The majesty and order of the city lord's mansion.

On both sides of the street, various shops have hung up their front doors with colorful decorations, and at the same time they have also put up discount signs. This store is 50% off, and that store is 40% off. Everyone looks like they have spent a lot of money, but there are very few people. Noticed that the original price mark above their discount price seemed to be much more expensive than usual.
