Heavenly Opposers

All around the ground to the sky black flames burned deep and dark, a feeling of death and destruction filled the surroundings, and within all this stood Xiao, his face was pale and the hand that held his sword was trembling, the fight while it didn't seem hard it was in no way not dangerous

If it was one on one Xiao could easily beat up any of them at his level, even if they were above him but fighting hundreds of them? it was definitely risking his life, of course, Xiao would be able to fight hundreds of his enemies once his cultivation become greater increasing his core and Qi but at his current level it was insanely difficult

Xiao's mind had to be sharp and ready for battle and a small mistake would have meant his doom, Xiao stood at the same spot for several minutes catching his breath and regaining his Qi, for a moment he had let the side of slaughter that loves death outside, it took him great strength to regain his calm

Soon he cut the supply of his Qi to the dark flame, causing the burning in front of him to stop and disappear completely, the dark flame that surrounded him on his back and the surroundings faded into nothing, and the deep black flame that burned with the other 10 also calmed down, Xiao's body stumbled as he fell forward but he used his sword to support himself

He stayed there for several more minutes before which he started walking towards the cave Yun Yurou was in while keeping both his swords to his spatial ring, reaching up to the cave he removed all the restrictions within the cave as he entered inside it and seeing Yun Yurou all safe Xiao sighed in relief

Adding a tired sigh to the happy one he walked towards Yun Yurou as he gently picked her up and placed her close to him in a protective embrace, it didn't matter if she was burning up nor did he care that he was tired and exhausted, he wouldn't let his body rest as he kept Yun Yurou close to him unwilling for her to get hurt

Xiao's soul churned as he tried to use his skill [Forgotten] in order to cover up Yun Yurou's aura but for some reason, he was unable to access the skills within him, something was blocking him from accessing them and just as a minute had passed since he took rest a huge powerful aura descended from the skies, Xiao could feel his death at it

Xiao flinched as his body trembled under the weight, Xiao's Qi churned at full throttle it didn't matter that his Qi was almost dry he did everything to make sure that Yun Yurou wasn't hurt or disturbed, with heavy steps he stood up Yun Yurou still lay within his arms as he walked out of the cave he sat in

Coming out of the cave Xiao's eyes traveled above where a humongous creature floated, it was completely pitch black in color, it had a humanoid body with just a single eye as huge as ahead, the power being released from it was so humongous that Xiao did not doubt that the creature would be able to kill him with a single gaze

And the most intriguing part was that the beast unlike its counterpart had intelligence brimming deep within its eye, a sense of greed brimmed within it as it gazed greedily at Yun Yurou, it was as if it had seen a treat it could not refuse and just as it was about to move a power equal to it appeared as the cry of a phoenix was heard

Soon a beautiful phoenix appeared opposite to the black creature, its size rivaled the abomination as deep dark red and yellow flame surrounded it, just its beauty was mesmerizing to gaze at, causing one to be lost at it forever Xiao's eyes looked at it with a hint of surprise and he was sure that the Phoenix focused its gaze at him, to be more precise at Yun Yurou

And soon the pressure that seemed to drown him disappeared instead a smoothing feeling started to surround him, even his soul started to feel rejuvenated, he could even feel Yun Yurou who was in his embrace calming down, her ragged and rapid breathing disappeared, the heat from her body too settle down

"Humph, leave"

And just as it had happened the one-eyed creature above snorted in annoyance as it ordered the phoenix to retire, the phoenix remained unfazed as a wave of pleasing heat surrounded Xiao and Yun Yurou protecting them, seeing it the annoyance within the eyes of the creature worsened, it waved its hand bringing down a crushing strength to destroy the flame that protected Xiao and Yun Yurou

"Give up now, your kind Scylla's will never succeed, we will make sure that all your kind will fall to oblivion"

And just as the attack was at bay the phoenix moved as to protected Xiao and spoke, its voice was gentle and calm leaning towards a female voice, the fire within its body burning with frenzy as the attack that was aimed to decimate both Xiao and Yun Yurou was destroyed, the words of the phoenix seemed to have triggered it, as the huge monster blasted forward aiming a punch at the phoenix

The phoenix let out a cry as it charged forward ready to meet its opponent with the same vigor but sadly Xiao wasn't able to see the rest of the battle as the flame that surrounded to protect him consumed him causing the space around him to split up as he was transported again but just as he did, he did hear the enraged shout of the creature who seemed to have only now understood that they were being transported

Sadly it wasn't able to stop the transport as both Xiao and Yun Yurou disappeared from where they stood, soon Xiao again experienced the feeling of being ripped across the space as he was transported, luckily this time it wasn't as severe as the first one, he held Yun Yurou close to him to keep her safe and within seconds the feeling disappeared as he appeared within a huge hallway

As soon as he did his body tripped and he had to use his utmost control not to let Yun Yurou go, Xiao took control of his balance as he stood straight, the backlash from the space travel was slowly disappearing, at the current state his body was not fit for long space travels, if it wasn't for the flame that was protecting him, he would have definitely ripped apart along with Yun Yurou

And just he stabilized himself, he was hit with a unique and powerful Qi, Xiao would feel that even though the Qi around him was still chaotic, it was at least a million times more pure and powerful!, the Qi he was standing in was almost suffocating, again a flame-like a barrier was protecting him and Yun Yurou filtering the Qi for their use or else the Qi would have crushed them!

This was the first time Xiao felt such a beautiful and powerful Qi and he was someone who had stepped on the third heaven even though it was within the edges, he had only heard of such Mythical Qi and that was in the fourth heaven....
