Chapter 274 - 274: Amusing The Phoenix
Whoosh.
Fang Hong didn't reply, his figure flickered, and he directly escaped into the void, actually fleeing?
"Don't run."
The Third Elder was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, casting a movement technique and chasing after him.
She didn't expect the other party to slip away so decisively and cleanly.
"This Black Bear runs quite fast. However, with the Third Elder making a move, she should be able to catch him."
Phoenix Yang watched from afar, saying fiercely.
Just like that, Fang Hong frantically fled north, with the Third Elder hot on his heels.
Fang Hong wasn't afraid of this female Phoenix, but he didn't want to confront her head-on in the Phoenix Clan's territory.
Once he made a move in the Phoenix Clan's territory, it would inevitably attract more Phoenix Clan powerhouses to besiege him, which was too risky.
Therefore, he could only lure her to a secluded place and then deal with her properly.
"Your Excellency Elder, stop chasing, I really didn't get any treasures."
Fang Hong deliberately feigned panic, his voice carrying a hint of alarm, intentionally luring the Third Elder.
"Hmph, didn't get any treasures? Then why are you running?"
Sure enough, the more Fang Hong said this, the more the Third Elder felt that Fang Hong must have obtained some precious treasure, otherwise why would he be so guilty and immediately flee?
As a Mahayana Middle Stage cultivator, the Third Elder's escape speed was extremely fast, and she was about to catch up with Fang Hong.
Flames suddenly ignited in her hand, and in the next instant, a scorching hot fireball shot out, causing the void to burn and twist, its aura intensely hot.
Fortunately, Fang Hong reacted swiftly, instantly dodging, and the fireball exploded behind him, igniting a large area of the void, a terrifying sight.
"Don't run, my Phoenix Clan won't make things difficult for you, and will even let you serve as a Grand Elder."
The Third Elder suddenly spoke, her voice echoing in the void, carrying a hint of temptation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice fell, a pair of golden wings suddenly appeared behind Fang Hong, shining brightly.
Fang Hong's figure trembled, turning into a streak of light, and with a whoosh,bhis speed instantly increased several times, immediately putting a large distance between him and the Third Elder.
"What? This Black Bear actually cultivated a pair of wings? And within the wings, there's even a faint trace of my Phoenix Clan's Qi."
The Third Elder's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her killing intent instantly surged.
"This damn Black Bear. He must have slaughtered a disciple of my Phoenix Clan to be imbued with our clan's Qi, and now he's fleeing out of guilt." The Third Elder was furious.
A scorching red light suddenly flashed across her entire body, her figure twisting in the flames, beginning to transform back into her Phoenix true form, charging towards Fang Hong with rolling flames.
The Swift Wind Wings behind Fang Hong were originally a middle-grade spiritual treasure. If the Third Elder didn't reveal her Phoenix true form and pursued him in human form, she would never have been able to catch up with his speed.
When the Phoenix's true form appeared, the world changed color in an instant.
The Third Elder transformed into a massive fiery Phoenix, its wings spread out, covering the sky and sun, each feather burning like a raging flame, bright red and dazzling.
Every flap of her wings brought forth rolling waves of fire, the void cracking inch by inch from the heat, and everywhere she passed, the world was dyed into a sea of fire.
Sure enough, after returning to her true form, the Third Elder's speed dramatically increased, and within a few breaths, she had once again closed the distance with Fang Hong.
And she continuously spewed flames from behind, attacking Fang Hong.
However, Fang Hong's figure flickered continuously in the air, like an elusive gust of wind, seemingly fleeing in a panic, but in reality, he was not flustered.
That disheveled appearance was merely a deliberate disguise by Fang Hong.
In fact, everything was under Fang Hong's control.
At this moment, Fang Hong was only using about half the speed of his Swift Wind Wings, yet the Third Elder was already struggling to keep up.
If he truly activated the Swift Wind Wings at full power, flying at one hundred percent speed, this Phoenix would simply not be able to catch him.
Fang Hong's true purpose was not to shake off this Phoenix Clan Elder, but to gradually lure her to a secluded place far from human habitation.
So he wouldn't fly at full speed, instead, he deliberately showed weakness, dangling her along, making the other party think she was about to succeed, but always just a hair's breadth away.
The chase was repeatedly extended, but the Third Elder's anger burned ever fiercer.
Whenever she was about to force Fang Hong into the sea of fire, he would always suddenly accelerate at the last moment, slipping away through the gaps.
That feeling was like the prey intentionally toying with the hunter, which made her absolutely furious.
"Damn it. How can this Black Bear's speed be so fast?"
Doubts secretly arose in the Third Elder's heart.
She gradually sensed that something was wrong, always feeling that Fang Hong was toying with her.
Just like that, one chasing, one fleeing, Fang Hong flew for countless miles, even flying out of the Wilderness Continent and arriving over an boundless sea.
"Bastard. I'll let you off for now. But those of your kind on the continent, don't even think about living." The Third Elder roared in the void.
Because she really couldn't catch up with Fang Hong, the Third Elder decided to give up, threatening to exterminate the Black Bear Clan.
However, little did she know that Fang Hong was not of the Black Bear Clan at all, so even if the Phoenix Clan was angered and completely annihilated the Black Bear Clan, it would be of no consequence to him.
Just as the Third Elder was about to turn back, she suddenly noticed that Fang Hong, who was flying in mid-air ahead, had stopped and was no longer fleeing?
This sudden action made the Third Elder freeze.
Immediately, her anger was reignited, and she flapped her huge crimson wings, suddenly unleashing a monstrous wave of fire that swept down like a mountain, fiercely pressing towards Fang Hong.
Facing this world-burning momentum, Fang Hong's expression was calm.
He merely raised his hand, and in the next instant, the vast sea surface suddenly erupted with earth-shattering roars.
The seawater wildly churned, rolling up giant waves thousands of feet high, like a moving sea-wall, crashing head-on with the incoming wave of fire.
Boom.
The sound was earth-shattering, and the sea and sky trembled.
The giant waves and fire waves collided, and a sky full of water mist and fierce flames intertwined, instantly erupting in countless white mists.
The sea surface for hundreds of miles around was completely enveloped, and the seawater instantly boiled and churned under the scorching flames.
The Third Elder's figure flashed, swooping down from the flames, her intense radiance receding, transforming back into her human form.
"Why aren't you running anymore? Have you run out of Qi?" The Third Elder said with a cold and beautiful face, annoyed.
"I have no grievances or enmity with Your Excellency, yet you have chased me all the way here. Don't you think it's too much?" Fang Hong said calmly, with his arms crossed.
"Stop your nonsense and hand over that treasure pagoda and surrender to my Phoenix Clan, and I can spare your life today." The Third Elder sneered coldly, her beautiful face filled with chilling intent.
As her voice fell, her entire aura suddenly surged, and her powerful pressure transformed into a monstrous tide, instantly sweeping towards Fang Hong.
However, Fang Hong seemed not to be affected by the slightest pressure. He stood with his hands behind his back, his tone still calm.
"I have no interest in surrendering to the Phoenix Clan. However, I do have a suggestion. Would Your Excellency like to hear it?"
