Chapter 196: Battle with the Golden Crow

Ye Xuan sat on the Red Lotus, feeling quite peculiar. The Red Lotus was clearly fast, but the airflow around it remained unchanged, completely ignoring gravity and resistance.

Moreover, it moved at will, disregarding inertia, twisting and turning, changing direction freely without any sense of pushback, which was vastly different from other flying objects, truly mysterious.

The speed of the Fire Red Lotus was extremely fast, and before long, the two of them had left the range of the Magic City and were heading towards the deserted area outside the desert.

In fact, to deal with the Three-Legged Golden Crow, transferring the battlefield to the boundless sea would be the best choice.

However, there were more mutated beasts in the ocean. In the deserted area, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli mainly needed to deal with the Three-Legged Golden Crow to survive.

If they were on the ocean, the Three-Legged Golden Crow would be less important. The endless array of mutated beasts in the ocean posed a greater threat to their lives. Therefore, their only choice was the deserted area!

About ten minutes after the two of them left the Magic City, the two small suns in the sky above the Magic City merged into one.

Upon seeing this scene, the over twenty million people in the Magic City felt relieved, praying to the gods, visiting temples and Taoist temples to express their gratitude for the divine protection.

At the Awakening Academy, Lin Xu’s expression did not relax much. “That flat-haired beast is indeed targeting Ye Xuan and Su Mengli. Old Chu, I’ll leave the Magic City to you for now. I’ll go meet that beast!”

Chu Han waved his hand. “Go ahead. Leave this to me. Although I’m running out of resources, I still have my old buddy.”

Although Wang Gangdan’s steel body was only S-class, his ability development was at one hundred percent, and his strength was equally formidable.

Lin Xu directly took out his phone and called Ye Xuan. “Hey, the Three-Legged Golden Crow has been lured away by you and Mengli. Send me your real-time location, I’ll come find you now.”

Ye Xuan replied, “Okay, I’ll send it over in a while.”

A few minutes later, Lin Xu received a location on his phone. The two of them had left China and were still moving north.

As Lin Xu was about to go support them, Zhou Qiang walked over quickly. “Dean Lin, something bad has happened. The sea area in the East Sea has erupted with a beast tide, and we need to go resist it immediately!”

Lin Xu’s face changed. “The East Sea? Why is it erupting at this time?”

Zhou Qiang’s expression was grave. “According to our speculation, before the Three-Legged Golden Crow left, it should have used some kind of large-scale attack to provoke the beasts in the East Sea. That’s why the beasts in the East Sea are now rioting and attacking us.”

Lin Xu angrily said, “This beast is actually stirring up trouble?!”

Zhou Qiang frowned. “What should we do now? Should we go save Ye Xuan and the others, or ensure the safety of the Magic City?”

Lin Xu clenched his fists, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, “Let’s go and lead all the students of the academy to resist the beasts in the East Sea! As for Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, I believe they will be fine!”

Lin Xu was a person who considered the bigger picture. He rarely hesitated so much for one person.

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were indeed geniuses, but they were ultimately just two individuals. Compared to the safety of the Magic City, the two of them were insignificant.

However, Lin Xu’s hesitation showed how much he valued his two students.

Zhou Qiang sighed and said, “I understand. I’ll give them a call and inform them of the situation here.”

“Okay.”

“Ye Xuan, be careful with Mengli. Before the Three-Legged Golden Crow left, it provoked the beasts in the East Sea. Now the beasts are rioting and attacking the Magic City’s defenses. Dean Lin can’t leave to come help for now.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan replied, “I understand. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”

Zhou Qiang calmly said, “Your safety is the most important. If necessary, return to the Magic City, or go to the Capital City. I don’t believe that no one in the vast country can deal with that Three-Legged Golden Crow.”

Ye Xuan smiled, “I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll consider it.”

After the call ended, Ye Xuan said to Su Mengli, “The Magic City is under attack, and Dean Lin can’t come over.”

Su Mengli smiled, “Perfect, we can have some alone time.”

Ye Xuan agreed, “Yes, no one will disturb us.”

Su Mengli pointed to the sky, “Except for it, it’s still following us.”

Above their heads, there were always two suns, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow persistently followed them.

After another hour, the Fire Red Lotus stopped in the boundless desert outside the border. The two suns hung in the sky, making the golden desert appear even hotter.

However, whether it was Su Mengli or Ye Xuan, they didn’t feel much about the high temperature.

Su Mengli’s ability was the Fire of the Red Lotus, and Ye Xuan’s Nine Great Divine Forms included the Phoenix. Both of them were considered powerful fire-type Awakeners, with a high resistance to high temperatures.

It was almost impossible for the Three-Legged Golden Crow to injure Ye Xuan and Su Mengli simply by raising the temperature.

In the sky, the Three-Legged Golden Crow also realized this. Next, a pure white beam of light struck down from the high altitude towards Ye Xuan and Su Mengli.

The Red Lotus reacted quickly, dodging the beam of light’s attack.

Ye Xuan was surprised, “This move is a bit like Harren’s ability.”

Su Mengli didn’t have time to respond because another beam of light struck down. She controlled the Red Lotus with her mind, quickly dodging.

Ye Xuan said, “Mengli, protect yourself. I’ll go deal with this guy!”

With that, Ye Xuan leaped into the air and transformed his body into a phoenix tens of meters long.

This phoenix was gorgeous, with incredibly beautiful feathers, burning flames on its body, looking very mystical.

The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew straight towards the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow stopped the beam attacks, seemingly waiting for Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan flew to about thirty thousand meters high and finally saw the Three-Legged Golden Crow clearly.

The body of the Three-Legged Golden Crow was not large. Compared to Ye Xuan, who had transformed into a phoenix, its size was slightly smaller, resembling a large black crow with three legs.

The entire body of this black crow emitted a strong golden light, making it look like a sun from a distance. In reality, the so-called sun was just a special effect of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow’s eyes were cold as it stared at Ye Xuan. Then, it let out a sharp crowing sound, and a beam of true sunfire shot towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan also opened his mouth, spewing out the Phoenix Fire, the two flames, one gold and one red, collided.

Ye Xuan’s Phoenix Fire was obviously no match for the true sunfire, quickly being suppressed. There was a considerable gap in strength between the two.

At this moment, Su Mengli, riding the Red Lotus, finally caught up.

Although the Red Lotus was agile and mysterious, its pure speed was not as fast as Ye Xuan’s Phoenix or Kunpeng, lagging behind slightly.

Seeing her man being suppressed, Su Mengli released the Fire of the Red Lotus to confront the true sunfire.

The Fire of the Red Lotus and the true sunfire were on par, but Su Mengli’s ability development was obviously not as good as the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s.

Therefore, even though Su Mengli intervened, their fires were gradually being suppressed and even devoured.

The flames were gradually being extinguished.
