“Hmph, Ling Gu, don’t waste your energy. This is the God-Binding Net. Not only you, but even a First-Order Martial Venerable could be trapped. If you want to break free, let us leave. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck inside forever!” Su Jingguang shouted at Ling Gu, his body tensing with power, ready to depart at any moment.
Hearing this, Ling Gu’s eyes glinted with cold killing intent. All around, the disciples of the You Tian Demon Palace radiated intense murderous aura.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao acted decisively, retrieving ten Burst Pills from his storage ring. With a surge of power, he launched the ten Burst Pills in ten different directions.
At the same time, he let out a thunderous roar, “Go!”
With that, he summoned his Void Phoenix Wings, his speed exploding as he charged towards Hu Yue, grabbing her and soaring into the sky.
Witnessing this and hearing Lin Xiao’s command, Ma Bi, Niu Bi, the Asura Butcher, Gu Juejin, and others shot into the air, flying higher than the surrounding You Tian Demon Palace disciples, preparing to escape outwards.
At this sight, the You Tian Demon Palace disciples surrounding them couldn’t help but act. Terrifying power surged forth, flooding towards the centre.
*Boom!*
A series of sounds like nine heavens’ thunder echoed. Waves of terrifying energy exploded in all directions, bursts of dazzling light erupting. Vast, ocean-like energy fluctuations burst forth instantly, surging fiercely in ten directions across the heavens and earth.
In an instant, surrounding mountains collapsed, and towering waves of air engulfed the entire sky. Countless figures were flung outwards.
These ten Thunderous Evil Fire Pills were all fourth-grade primary Burst Pills, infused with spirit cores, vast amounts of spiritual energy, and even Lin Xiao’s thunder power. They were capable of injuring mid-tier Martial Kings.
Aside from the four powerhouses on the Earth Demon List and the top figures on the Human Demon List, few could fully withstand the explosive power of these Burst Pills.
Even the four Earth Demon List powerhouses couldn’t pursue Lin Xiao and the others at the moment of the explosion, forced to defend themselves.
Thus, Lin Xiao seized this opportunity, embedding dozens of Martial King Essence Pills into the Void Phoenix Wings, piloting them to break through the You Tian Demon Palace’s encirclement.
Meanwhile, Ma Bi, Niu Bi, the Asura Butcher, Zi Ling, and others unleashed their trump cards, taking advantage of the chaotic explosion to flee in all directions.
Su Jingguang, Xiahou Wanyu, and others, except for a few severely injured by the explosive energy, also scattered outwards.
First, Su Jingguang’s God-Binding Net trapped Ling Gu, then Lin Xiao’s ten Burst Pills exploded. The You Tian Demon Palace’s carefully laid trap had failed.
This enraged Ling Gu and the others from the You Tian Demon Palace. They never imagined Su Jingguang and Lin Xiao would have such a move, even possessing Burst Pills as their trump card.
Their meticulously planned strategy was utterly wasted.
…
After escaping Black Cloud Valley, Lin Xiao suddenly noticed that, atop the Void Phoenix Wings, besides him and Hu Yue, there was a fiery red spirit rabbit.
This spirit rabbit looked no different from an ordinary rabbit, except for its blue eyes and bright red body, as if it were a flame. It gazed at the glow on the Void Phoenix Wings, its face showing a surprised, human-like expression, utterly adorable.
“Isn’t this Fire Spirit Rabbit Su Jingguang’s spirit pet? When did it leap onto the Void Phoenix Wings?” Slightly stunned, Lin Xiao asked in confusion.
“Oi, little bunny, you actually hopped onto the pirate ship! Let’s see how you escape this time!” Seeing the adorable Fire Spirit Rabbit, Hu Yue crouched and pounced. This time, the rabbit didn’t flee but let Hu Yue grab it.
“Hehe, I finally caught you, you little rascal!” Hu Yue tugged at the rabbit’s ears, thrilled.
However, Lin Xiao noticed a pained expression on the Fire Spirit Rabbit’s face. Then, a chill emanated from its body.
“Huh? Doesn’t this Fire Spirit Rabbit have fire-based powers? Why is there a chill?” Hu Yue voiced her confusion, and soon, frost formed on her hands.
At that moment, the Fire Spirit Rabbit began to tremble, its body emitting a faint red glow as a wave of heat radiated from it.
“It seems to be afflicted with cold poison. If I’m not mistaken, Su Jingguang likely used this poison to control it. But it appears to be fighting it with its fire-based powers, trying to break through. Put it down for now!” With the experience of the Heaven-Swallowing Spirit Emperor, Lin Xiao quickly assessed the situation and guessed.
It seemed this Fire Spirit Rabbit had the ability to expel the cold poison, seeking to break free from Su Jingguang’s control. It had likely seized the chance during their escape to leap onto the Void Phoenix Wings.
Lin Xiao couldn’t help but marvel at the rabbit’s cunning. It had clearly targeted him and Hu Yue, as it wouldn’t have managed to board the Void Phoenix Wings in such a frantic moment otherwise.
Nodding in surprise, Hu Yue quickly placed the Fire Spirit Rabbit on the back of the Void Phoenix Wings.
The rabbit’s alternating hot and cold state lasted nearly half an hour. Hu Yue watched anxiously, wanting to intervene several times, but Lin Xiao stopped her.
To break through successfully, the Fire Spirit Rabbit had to rely on itself.
*Whoosh!*
However, at that moment, a burst of cold air dispersed, and a terrifying aura radiated from the Fire Spirit Rabbit.
“It succeeded! It’s advanced to a fourth-tier intermediate spirit beast!” Seeing this, Lin Xiao exclaimed.
Hu Yue’s face lit up with excitement, and fearing the rabbit might escape again, she lunged to grab it.
But the Fire Spirit Rabbit didn’t flee. Instead, it leapt into Hu Yue’s arms, excitedly nuzzling against her.
“Er… it’s not a pervy rabbit, is it?” Lin Xiao said, stunned. With the rabbit’s current strength, if it wanted to escape, they likely couldn’t stop it.
At Lin Xiao’s words, the Fire Spirit Rabbit poked its head out from Hu Yue’s arms, turning to give Lin Xiao an eye-roll.
“Hahaha! You little rascal, you’ve finally seen the light! Don’t worry, stick with me, and I’ll make sure you’re never shortchanged!” Hu Yue was overjoyed, her hands ruffling the rabbit’s head.
The Fire Spirit Rabbit waved its little paws in protest. Who pampers their spirit pet like this?
Watching from the side, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but find it amusing. But the Fire Spirit Rabbit joining Hu Yue was a significant gain.
With its fire-based powers, the Fire Spirit Rabbit had formidable attack strength and excelled in speed. Now at fourth-tier intermediate strength, it was a massive boost for Hu Yue.
“Oi, since you’re with me now, I’ll give you a name…” Hu Yue flipped the rabbit around, examining it for a while before saying, “Right, from now on, you’ll be called Little Bunny Rascal!”
*Chirp! Chirp!*
The Fire Spirit Rabbit immediately flailed its paws in protest, as if saying, *You’re the rascal! Your whole family’s rascals!*
Lin Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. Was there even a need to pick such a name?
By now, the glow on the Void Phoenix Wings had long dimmed. To avoid running into You Tian Demon Palace disciples again, Lin Xiao urged the wings to fly for another day.
They were now extremely close to the Ultimate Battlefield, the location of the Seven Stars Convergence.
*Whoosh!* Suddenly, the Fire Spirit Rabbit shot off the Void Phoenix Wings at an astonishing speed, darting towards a mountain peak ahead and plunging straight into its cave.
*Boom!*
The entire mountain collapsed.
Lin Xiao and Hu Yue were stunned. What was going on? Was the Fire Spirit Rabbit smashing mountains for fun?
“Could it be…” Lin Xiao’s eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze turning towards the collapsed mountain.
