"You’re still alive?"
Ying Changhong was extremely shocked. He thought He Yunfang had been completely annihilated by him, both in form and spirit, but hadn’t expected him to still be alive!
However, He Yunfang didn’t answer. What responded to Ying Changhong was a barrage of sharp attacks!
Ying Changhong hadn’t anticipated this move; his true form was pierced with several alarming large holes.
At the same time, all the crane shadows in the air recombined, and colorful lights appeared in the void, illuminating this world and shining on Ying Changhong.
When Ying Changhong saw the colorful light, his expression changed dramatically, letting out a roar of shock and anger, and quickly thought of something, exclaiming in horror: "This is the Divine Phoenix Bone! Where did you get it?"
"It’s specifically to deal with you!" He Yunfang shouted.
The colorful lights once again burst forth, and within this radiance, the ethereal silhouette of a brilliantly colorful divine bird emerged, enveloping He Yunfang’s true form. In an instant, an awe-inspiring divine power blanketed everything within ten thousand feet around.
This colorful light posed a great threat to Ying Changhong, making him feel an oppression in his bloodline, even causing his soul to tremble.
The giant wings of the golden eagle in the sky were even severed directly!
Ying Changhong let out a shrill, painful screech. He couldn’t withstand such a powerful attack, instantly being severely injured by the colorful light, and his once majestic and domineering aura immediately weakened!
"He Yunfang, just wait!"
Ying Changhong’s giant true form vanished, reverting back to his human appearance, filled with shock and anger.
But he was already seriously injured, with no way to counterattack. Originally, he thought he could kill He Yunfang, but hadn’t expected He Yunfang to have held back a trump card. Not daring to linger, he immediately leaped high, turning into a sharp beam and fleeing into the distance without looking back.
The previously shattered crane shadows in the sky recombined under the colorful light, forming a thousand-foot-tall white crane form, though this crane form was also blood-soaked.
He Yunfang looked at that piece of colorful bone in his hand, sighed, and said, "Still can’t kill him; the power of this Divine Phoenix Bone cannot be fully wielded."
At this moment, he had exhausted his last bit of Spiritual Power to unleash the Divine Phoenix Bone and was now utterly spent, unable to support his own body any longer, falling toward the void.
Xiang Beifei stretched lazily, waved his hand, and fetched He Yunfang back from the void, tossing him onto a small island.
This kind of battle didn’t concern Xiang Beifei much, so he was too lazy to interfere in the fight between these two Dao cultivators. It didn’t matter to him who won or lost, and even though Ying Changhong wanted to escape, he didn’t stop him.
After pondering for a moment, he held the piece of colorful bone in his hand, examining it carefully.
This bone contained a very powerful force, which wasn’t much to Xiang Beifei, but it was quite formidable for bird-like desolate beasts, seemingly able to enhance their strength and awaken their bloodlines.
Just now, He Yunfang used this bone to suppress Ying Changhong, whose power was originally above his.
"What did he just say this was, the Divine Phoenix Bone? What’s it for?" Xiang Beifei wondered aloud.
Xiaohei barked excitedly, "For making bone soup."
"All you think about is eating."
Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but laugh.
But Erha suddenly stared blankly at the piece of colorful bone, looking somewhat uncertain.
"What’s wrong?" Xiang Beifei asked, puzzled as he looked at Erha.
Erha struggled to poke its head out of Xiang Beifei’s pocket, wagged its tail, scrutinized the piece of colorful bone, and howled a couple of times.
"What do you know about bird eggs! They said it’s the Divine Phoenix Bone, and you’re not even a bird." Xiang Beifei said.
Erha scratched its head with its tail, indicating it couldn’t be sure.
Xiang Beifei fiddled with the Divine Phoenix Bone for a moment before setting it down and then glanced at the already dying He Yunfang, shrugging.
"Well, you’re lucky; I quite like cranes."
In his university days, he was a member of the Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes Club, always referred to as the Little White Crane by Elder Luo. In light of this connection with cranes, he decided to lend a hand.
He Yunfang felt his consciousness swirling. He gradually opened his eyes, saw the sky, looked around, and found himself lying on a small island.
It’s important to know, just now after repelling Ying Changhong, he didn’t even have extra Spiritual Power to maintain his flight. Falling in the void is very dangerous because this airspace is boundless and everywhere it is suffused with a void power potent enough to devour Spiritual Power.
Anyone unconsciously falling in the void, their Spiritual Power will be completely consumed by the void, and the final result is death!
Even for him, being in the Immortal Realm doesn’t make him an exception!
He clearly remembered just moments ago he was unable to move toward the island; how did he suddenly save a life?
Moreover, he found that the injuries to his spirit had unknowingly healed!
At this moment, a relaxed voice sounded from behind him.
He Yunfang was startled and immediately stood up, warily looking towards the source of the voice.
A young man was lying on a rock, hands under his head, gazing at the starry sky, leisurely crossing his legs.
He Yunfang looked at this young man with suspicion and uncertainty; this young man didn’t emit a strong aura, seemingly weaker than him even.
But he didn’t underestimate him, for anyone appearing here could hardly be ordinary.
"Did you save me?" He Yunfang asked.
"Passed by, gave a helping hand." Xiang Beifei said.
He Yunfang was slightly taken aback and hastily bowed: "I am He Yunfang. Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving my life."
Xiang Beifei waved his hand and tossed the piece of Colorful Bone back to He Yunfang: "This is yours, quite a remarkable thing."
"Divine Phoenix Bone!"
He Yunfang hurriedly caught the bone.
This was his life-saving card, containing powerful avian energy, extremely precious to him. This young man actually returned the Divine Phoenix Bone to him? Could this person not recognize its value?
But that shouldn’t be; such a precious Colorful Bone, anyone with some discernment should feel the power contained within.
He Yunfang was a bit skeptical.
"I am He Yunfang, the enforcer of Crane Dao, and I haven’t yet asked for your honorable name?" He Yunfang asked.
"Thanks to Daoist Xiang for saving my life, your great kindness I’ll never forget. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll repay it generously." He Yunfang expressed his gratitude again.
"It’s not necessary to be so troublesome. I’m new here and not familiar with the place, you could just tell me about this place." Xiang Beifei said.
He Yunfang was slightly puzzled.
"I came from the other side of the Edge Corner Airspace."
Xiang Beifei didn’t hide his origins, as he needed some guidance.
"You came from the opposite Great Desolate Realm in the airspace!"
He Yunfang was greatly shocked!
"Why? Is it strange? I suppose I’m not the first, am I?" Xiang Beifei said.
He Yunfang was silent for a long time before coming back to his senses, carefully examining Xiang Beifei, and then said: "Those coming from the Great Desolate Realm are very few. I haven’t seen a Daoist from the Great Desolate Realm for over a thousand years. Indeed, it’s rare, so we’re like half fellow countrymen."
He couldn’t help but take another look at Xiang Beifei.
"Are you from the Great Desolate Realm as well?" Xiang Beifei asked unexpectedly.
"Not exactly, my father was a cultivator from the Great Desolate Realm, he traveled over here, and my mother is a native deity, I was born here, but my father mentioned the Great Desolate Realm beyond the Edge Corner before."
After learning Xiang Beifei’s background, He Yunfang was much less wary.
"Native deity? Are there many natives here?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"It seems Daoist Xiang indeed knows very little about Edge Corner Airspace, how about this! You can stay at my place for a bit, I can tell you what kind of world Edge Corner Airspace is, and give you a basic understanding of this world so you won’t suffer losses." He Yunfang said.
This was exactly what Xiang Beifei needed.
