Chapter 38 Night Phoenix Dies!

“Damn you all!” Night Dwelling Phoenix’s ink-black hair danced wildly like snakes, intense sinister energy churning in the depths of her eyes. A roar shook the entire hall, making it buzz.

She suddenly raised the vertical flute in her hand, and endless black sinister energy gushed out like a volcanic eruption, converging into a giant palm covering the sky above the hall. With world-destroying pressure, it slammed down towards Xu Yuanmo!

The 【Human Armor Willow Crab】, which had been quietly approaching Xu Yuanmo, sensed the fatal crisis from the giant palm. Scared out of its wits, its massive body suddenly changed direction, its six crab legs frantically kicking the ground, and it instantly retreated out of the attack range.

In an instant, Xu Yuanmo’s hair stood on end, his pupils constricted, and he hurriedly recalled the 【Jade-Faced Grenade King】 to deploy a protective shield. But the moment the giant palm touched the shield, there was a “crack,” and the shield shattered.

The 【Jade-Faced Grenade King】, bearing the brunt of the attack, didn’t even have a chance to release a teleportation grenade before the giant palm. Amidst the harsh sound of twisting metal, its body deformed and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After holding on for only five seconds, it was completely pulverized.

With the card destroyed, Xu Yuanmo immediately suffered a strong spiritual backlash. “Pfft—” He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.

He cursed inwardly and hurriedly took out the card he had exchanged from Ding Ning in the ingredient area. There was one use left, and he was just about to use it.

A black shadow suddenly rushed out from the corner of the hall; Gu Ye and the others didn’t even react. The black shadow hugged Xu Yuanmo tightly.

“Stone Shield!” Yan Shuangling exclaimed. She never expected him to appear at this moment!

A strange light emerged from Stone Shield, preventing Xu Yuanmo from using the card.

Seeing the giant palm about to hit him, Xu Yuanmo struggled frantically. No matter how he punched and kicked, Stone Shield just wouldn’t let go.

Blood flowed from the corner of Stone Shield’s mouth. Looking at the approaching giant palm, his expression was insane: “Xu Yuanmo, it doesn’t matter if I live or die, but you must die.”

“Damn, you lunatic.”

Before the words fell, the giant palm finally descended. Black sinister energy instantly swallowed the figures of the two, and blood splattered everywhere. A moment later, the giant palm slowly dissipated, and the sinister energy above the hall receded with it.

Night Dwelling Phoenix raised an eyebrow and thought to herself: “They actually ran away!”

After executing this attack, Night Dwelling Phoenix’s aura withered again.

“Good opportunity!”

The 【Human Armor Willow Crab】’s eyes brightened. It curled its whole body into a ball and smashed towards Night Dwelling Phoenix, spinning at high speed.

【Chariot Charge】!

Seeing this, the sky-filling sinister energy that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared, turning into a giant vertical flute that stabbed towards the 【Human Armor Willow Crab】. Its hard shell was as fragile as paper in front of the flute, instantly pierced through. Immediately after, Night Dwelling Phoenix slapped it, breaking the willow tree and shattering the back shell. Its flesh and blood were instantly corroded until riddled with holes.

“Why does This Great One’s intuition keep failing today?”

The 【Human Armor Willow Crab】 died!!

Night Dwelling Phoenix turned to look at Gu Ye and the other five, grinning: “It’s your turn!”

Gu Ye’s expression changed drastically in an instant. Although her aura had weakened another level, after seeing her kill the 【Human Armor Willow Crab】 so decisively, he wasn’t sure if she was really at her limit.

The crescent moon in Yan Shuangling’s eyes kept flickering, but when she looked at Night Dwelling Phoenix, besides gathering that Night Dwelling Phoenix’s aura was very weak, she also knew one very important piece of information: they could only open the Card Domain gate if they killed Night Dwelling Phoenix. No other information was gathered.

“She is indeed very weak now!” Yan Shuangling relayed all the information she had gathered. Gu Ye’s expression was grave; they had to face Night Dwelling Phoenix now.

Gu Ye’s eyes were firm. A light flashed on the yellow lens of the tuonaduo armor. He reached out to grab the elemental key on his belt, pulled it out abruptly, and summoned Hurricane Azure Kite.

Spiritual energy surged, and a cyan giant kite with a wingspan of several meters appeared out of thin air; it was Hurricane Azure Kite. Gu Ye threw the hurricane shadow dart into the air, fusing it with Hurricane Azure Kite, instantly forming a sharp-looking Wild Kite Fierce Bow, which hovered in front of him.

“Attack!” Gu Ye’s voice was calm and firm.

【Azure Kite Piercing Demon Explosion】!

Seeing Gu Ye release a skill and also seeing the thing she wanted, a flash of greed appeared in Night Dwelling Phoenix’s eyes.

Seeing the energy arrows filled with wind elements shot from the Wild Kite Fierce Bow in Gu Ye’s hand, she played her vertical flute, and blades made of sinister energy sliced through the air, colliding with the energy arrows.

【Roar I】! 【Roar II】! 【Roar III】!

Zhang Fei unleashed three skills in succession. The sound of horse hooves resounded through the entire hall. He teleported to Night Dwelling Phoenix’s side, the power of blood and vitality burning fiercely on the eighteen-foot serpent spear in his hand, and slashed at her.

Night Dwelling Phoenix reacted in time, instantly breaking the restraint. She steadily caught Zhang Fei’s attack with the vertical flute. There was mockery in her eyes, but upon seeing the corners of Zhang Fei’s mouth turn up, she realized something was wrong.

【Backstab - Triple Strike】!

Third Mother Li suddenly jumped out from the shadow behind Night Dwelling Phoenix, her sharp dagger stabbing into Night Dwelling Phoenix’s heart three times in succession.

“Acting is really painful!” A trace of resentment appeared in the depths of Night Dwelling Phoenix’s eyes.

Seeing that the dagger had already entered Night Dwelling Phoenix’s body, Zhang Fei and Third Mother Li, following Gu Ye’s plan, quickly ran away, afraid that she would explode with power again.

“You...” Before she could finish her sentence, Night Dwelling Phoenix suddenly felt her strength vanish, and a wave of panic washed over her. “Pfft~” She spat out a mouthful of blood.

“There’s a problem with the dagger!” This dagger was actually the one Samus used to sneak attack Larson. When Gu Ye snatched Larson’s card-making materials, he also got this 【Force-Sealing Dagger】 and gave it to Third Mother Li.

Elegant Blade held black and white blades, attacking her. Black flames and white cold air intertwined, colliding with the sinister energy emitting from the vertical flute in Night Dwelling Phoenix’s hand.

Zhang Fei and Third Mother Li also came to help, but Zhang Fei alone blocked most of Night Dwelling Phoenix’s attacks; after all, he was one level higher than Elegant Blade.

Suddenly, Ye Suxuan shouted: “It’s ready, move away quickly!”

Seeing Ye Suxuan and Chu Ling in the distance both holding an illusory technology cannon, the phantom of a dragon and phoenix above them rushed into the technology cannon, filling it as cannonballs.

Zhang Fei and the others beside Night Dwelling Phoenix heard Ye Suxuan’s words and quickly retreated.

As Zhang Fei left, he casually released the skill 【Roar I】 on her! Although it only restrained Night Dwelling Phoenix for a second, it was enough time.

Bloodline Combo Skill 【Dragon-Phoenix Harmonic Cannon】!

A huge beam of energy containing dragon might and phoenix fire gushed out from the muzzle of the technology cannon, carrying a destructive aura, and slammed straight into the restrained Night Dwelling Phoenix. Night Dwelling Phoenix didn’t even have time to let out a scream before being completely swallowed by the beam of light.

Everyone stared nervously at the dissipating beam of light. Finally, a figure appeared where the beam had dissipated.

Night Dwelling Phoenix’s ink-green cloud brocade dress looked very disheveled. What puzzled Gu Ye was that apart from being disheveled, there wasn’t a single wound on her body, but her aura was even weaker. Clearly, the previous attack was still very effective.

Not having killed her, a trace of disappointment flashed in the depths of Gu Ye’s eyes. Zhang Fei and the other summons prepared to continue attacking, but Night Dwelling Phoenix’s next words made everyone feel a chill.

With bloodstains on the corners of her mouth and sinister energy churning in her pupils, Night Dwelling Phoenix said: “I want you to sleep forever in this underwater restaurant with me.”

Her aura was chaotic, and sinister energy gushed out from her body, hitting the walls of the hall, causing countless rocks to fall from above.

【Micro-Perception】 immediately gathered information. Yan Shuangling said anxiously: “She’s going to self-destruct, stop her quickly.”

Gu Ye’s expression changed drastically. He reached out to pull the elemental key from his belt, spiritual energy surged into it, and it transformed into the Elf Key.

“Ao~” A hoarse, vigorous sound wave pierced through the airflow. Hurricane Azure Kite circled in the air, then suddenly dived to Gu Ye’s side, spreading its wings and hovering in the air.

As Gu Ye inserted the Elf Key into the belt, Hurricane Azure Kite merged with the tuonaduo armor, entering the Elf Armed Mode. A pair of huge cyan wings spread out behind the armor, covered in complex wind patterns, and Gu Ye’s aura also skyrocketed! Gu Ye shouted:

【Wind-Splitting Azure Kite Evil】!

The giant wings behind the tuonaduo armor flapped violently, whipping up a fierce hurricane that blew towards Night Dwelling Phoenix. Her body, containing huge energy, was instantly rolled into the high altitude, and Night Dwelling Phoenix felt a wave of dizziness.

Gu Ye flew above her, holding a long sword in his hand. Consuming all his spiritual energy, he slashed out a sword light, striking at Night Dwelling Phoenix.

Seeing this sword light, a flash of light appeared in Night Dwelling Phoenix’s eyes:

“The time has come!”

“Trait 【Azure Kite Spirit Wind Accumulation】 is in effect, wind element storage has reached the threshold, attack is augmented with 【Azure Kite Spirit Wind】!”

The moment the sword light touched her, she was directly cut in two. Seeing this scene, Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had finally been slain.

“Boom~”

A violent explosion suddenly sounded from Night Dwelling Phoenix’s position. Gu Ye was dumbfounded; he didn’t expect that even after killing her, the explosion still happened.

A black light instantly rushed into Gu Ye’s body from the explosion site. In the chaotic environment, no one noticed.

“Whoosh... whoosh~”

The restaurant kept shaking, the walls cracked, and countless rocks fell.

“It’s collapsing, hurry and go!”

Just then, a light gate suddenly appeared in the center of the hall. Yan Shuangling was overjoyed and said: “It’s the Card Domain gate, leave from there.”

【Hurricane Void Instant Movement Technique】!

Gu Ye, wearing the Elf Armed Mode, was faster than usual. He moved quickly through the hall, collecting all the card-making materials, and rushed into the Card Domain gate.

After Gu Ye left, the restaurant seemed to have been pressed on a pause button. A mocking voice suddenly sounded:

“This is my property, it cannot be destroyed just like that.”

Finally, the restaurant returned to its original appearance, and it was silent. At the same time, the 【Human Armor Willow Crab】 corpse suddenly moved, and a small crab crawled out from inside.

“This Great One is the final winner!”
