The Silverwing Thunder Dragon emerged, enveloping the surrounding space in crackling lightning.
It roared at Feng Jinyao, and the wildly dancing lightning transformed into a vast expanse of silver-blue sea, forcing her back.
Feng Jinyao's right arm was accidentally struck by lightning, leaving a charred, bloody wound on her flawless white limb.
"Damn it!" Feng Jinyao gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with fury.
The Black Poison Bees also surrounded her at this moment.
Unable to attend to the pain in her arm, Feng Jinyao could only quickly erect a defensive spirit shield to ward off the bees.
The human's method of controlling spirit beasts made her feel a sense of dread.
She glanced at her companions who had come with her; their situation was not much better.
The two elders from the Beast Taming Sect also possessed Saint-tier spirit beasts.
The Undying Phoenix, which was originally a tier stronger than the two elders, was forced into a bitter struggle after the Saint-tier spirit beasts appeared.
Fighting four against one, it was pinned down by the elders of the Beast Taming Sect.
If this continued, Feng Jinyao and her group would not only be unable to rescue the injured Undying Phoenix but would also be captured by these humans.
With this thought, Feng Jinyao's hatred for the humans before her intensified. Her eyes, burning with rage, fixed on Lie Yu. "Despicable humans! Your race, more than fifty years ago, reached an agreement with the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors, forbidding you from entering the Beast God Valley to hunt the Immortal Golden Dragons and Undying Phoenixes."
"Yet now, you have broken your pact. You humans are truly a group of faithless and despicable wretches!"
"Broken the pact? Hahahaha… you are truly foolish!"
In response to Feng Jinyao's accusation, Lie Yu burst into arrogant laughter. His attitude showed that he did not take her words seriously at all.
Lie Yu's insolent demeanor made Feng Jinyao gnash her teeth in anger, wishing she could tear this despicable human to shreds!
Lie Yu continued with a cold sneer, "I have not broken the rules established by the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors. On the contrary, it is you who have violated them."
"Don't forget, although this place is near the Beast God Valley, it is ultimately not within it. Therefore, it still belongs to human territory. Our human race hunting demonic beasts in human territory is none of the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors' business!"
"No matter how strong the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors are, before our human powerhouses, they can only huddle in the Beast God Valley, not daring to step into our human territory."
"You! You are not allowed to insult the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors!"
Feng Jinyao was furious and charged forward, wanting to pulverize Lie Yu into dust!
However, faced with the ferocious lightning power of the Saint-tier spirit beast, the Silverwing Thunder Dragon, Feng Jinyao was once again forced back, her defensive spirit shield torn apart by the dragon.
A swarm of Black Poison Bees seized the opportunity and swarmed towards Feng Jinyao, biting her ferociously.
Feng Haocang, who had come with Feng Jinyao to rescue their kin, saw her in danger and was anxious to help.
But the Saint-tier contract spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect elders, the Golden Emperor Lion and the Wind Cang Wolf, immediately blocked his path.
The two elders of the Beast Taming Sect behind him attacked his rear.
For a moment, Feng Haocang was unable to divide his attention and could not go to Feng Jinyao's aid.
"Even if I die, I will make you humans pay the price," Feng Jinyao's eyes were filled with icy killing intent, and the phoenix imprint on her forehead suddenly shone with brilliant light.
"Stop! Feng Jinyao!" Feng Haocang noticed her action and shouted loudly, trying to stop her.
This was because Feng Jinyao was using a forbidden technique of the Undying Phoenix clan, a move that traded one's life for immense power, known as the Phoenix Fall Technique.
At this moment, a sky-shattering dragon roar echoed through the entire forest.
A colossal dragon suddenly rose into the air not far away.
Its lustrous golden scales emanated dazzling brilliance, its dragon eyes exuded immense pressure, and its entire being radiated an ancient, majestic aura of immortality.
The Immortal Golden Dragon roared at them again in anger, and its powerful sonic waves instantly swept out, reducing the Black Poison Bees around Feng Jinyao to dust.
"Immortal Golden Dragon!"
Everyone was astonished by the sudden appearance of the Immortal Golden Dragon.
Following this, the phantom image of the Immortal Golden Dragon in the sky vanished, and a cool man clad in blue and white robes appeared in their sight.
Xin Ci and Mu Qingqing unanimously decided to intervene and rescue Feng Jinyao.
Back in Phoenix Cry Mountain, it was with Feng Jinyao's help that they had found the Profound Sun Palace and obtained the Undying Phoenix Flame.
Now that Feng Jinyao was in danger, they would help her, if only to repay that favor.
Seeing Xin Ci appear, Feng Jinyao and Feng Haocang were greatly surprised.
Because of the Immortal Golden Dragon aura that Xin Ci exuded, both of them mistook the newly arrived human for an Undying Golden Dragon transformed.
Lie Yu, seeing Xin Ci appear, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by greed.
He laughed arrogantly, "It's an Immortal Golden Dragon! Hahaha… Heaven truly favors me. It has sent both the Undying Phoenix and the Immortal Golden Dragon, these two supreme spirit beasts, into our hands simultaneously!"
Mu Qingqing found Lie Yu's arrogance exasperating and transmitted to Xin Ci, "This young sect master of the Beast Taming Sect is truly arrogant. Let's deal with him quickly."
Xin Ci nodded.
Then, golden dragon scales appeared on his arm, and his hands transformed into sharp golden dragon claws, tearing through the air as he lunged at Lie Yu.
"Do you really think I'm a pushover? Attack, Silverwing Thunder Dragon!"
The moment Lie Yu spoke, he found his Saint-tier spirit beast, the Silverwing Thunder Dragon, lowering its head and trembling on the ground, seemingly terrified of Xin Ci and unwilling to meet his gaze.
"Useless creature, get up and protect this young master!" In his fury, Lie Yu kicked the Silverwing Thunder Dragon several times.
Xin Ci's lips curved upwards, amused by Lie Yu's actions.
He knew that the Immortal Golden Dragon was the supreme king among all dragon beasts, and this Silverwing Thunder Dragon, with some dragon beast bloodline within it, would naturally be suppressed.
The innate bloodline suppression caused the Immortal Golden Dragon blood within Xin Ci to frighten the Silverwing Thunder Dragon.
"Damn it."
Seeing that the Silverwing Thunder Dragon could not help him, Lie Yu quickly conjured his top-grade true artifact, the Holy Light Mirror.
However, before Xin Ci's Immortal Golden Dragon claws, the Holy Light Mirror was as fragile as paper. Xin Ci easily tore through it and sliced off one of Lie Yu's arms.
"Ah! My arm!" Lie Yu let out a heart-wrenching scream, and scarlet blood poured ceaselessly from his severed limb.
Lie Yu's features contorted in pain, and he then roared at Xin Ci with a ferocious expression, "You damned beast, how dare you harm me! I will make you pay!"
"I think you should worry about yourself. Pay the price, huh? Heh heh." Xin Ci sneered.
Upon hearing this, Lie Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He saw Feng Jinyao appear behind him, her eyes filled with icy killing intent. The Undying Phoenix Flame erupted from beneath his feet and spread throughout his body.
